<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: regular;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">The protests started after the president announced he would run for a fifth term in office. In response, he pledged to undertake reforms and step down after the next elections. But it does not appear to have quelled the angry demonstrations, as some protesters have accused him of simply maneuvering to buy time. </p><br />
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: regular;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">The plan “will find my successor in a manner incontrovertibly peaceful, free and transparent,” he said. He also <a style="color:#ea1414;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;" href="http://click1.crm.foreignpolicy.com/gkwrrhpmpwrdccckdkwhndjpfydhhjmknkcmyntckclyc_jfvbjttbswbvvbqsqjbn.html">pledged</a> to organize a national referendum for “a new constitution which will mark the birth of a new republic and a new Algerian political system.”</p><br />
