An ailing 82-year-old refusing to relinquish the presidency, resentment against a ruling civilian and military cabal, and an economy in crisis have sparked mass protests across Algeria in recent weeks.

Bouteflika also warned Algerians over"possible infiltration of misleading parties" who may seek to"provoke chaos" in a statement published by the Algeria Press Service.
