Head of Algeria's Constitutional Council Tayeb Belaiz resigns as mass demonstrations continue
Students take part in a protest seeking the departure of the ruling elite in Algiers, Algeria. April 16, 2019.
Bouteflika stepped down on April 2 after weeks of mass protests for his 20-year rule to end. But his departure has failed to placate many Algerians who want to topple the old guard and its associates. In a speech read out on state TV, he urged protesters to avoid violence and gave formal orders to protect the demonstrators.
The old guard includes Bensalah, who was appointed interim president after Algeria's army chief declared Bouteflika unfit for office and said the military would back a transition period leading to a presidential election on July 4.
