ALGIERS (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of Algerian students protested in the capital and other cities for a fifth day running on Tuesday against President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's plan to extend his 20-year rule by seeking a fifth term, witnesses said.
It was the fifth day of demonstrations but the first covered by state media after its journalists called on their employers to allow them to cover the protests.
