Algeria's Presiden to Run for Re-Election

Algeria's President, Bouteflika, is to run for his fourth term in April. Abdelaziz Bouteflika, 76, had a stroke last year and some say he is still too ill to govern. "Even if he has not completely recovered physically, I can assure you he is in possession of all his mental and intellectual faculties," says Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal. The president, in power since 1999, is one of the few remaining veterans of the war of independence against France.
