Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on Thursday warned protesters demanding political reforms to be vigilant to avoid infiltration attempts aimed at pushing them to violence, Reuters reports.
Tebboune also praised the ongoing protest movement for avoiding violence which he said could have led to a “disaster” for the North African country.
The comments by Tebboune, elected in December in a vote largely rejected by protesters, came a day before the demonstrators were due to celebrate the first anniversary of weekly protests that forced veteran President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to resign in April.
“Beware of infiltration. There are signs of infiltration,” Tebboune said on state television, without elaborating.
