Maghreb Arabe Presse (MAP) are reporting unrest in Algeria. According to the reports some 300 young Algerians attempted to cross the border to Morocco in protest at social conditions, such as deterioration of their living conditions, problems related to housing, roads, schools and drinkable water. For their part the Algerian media is claiming the problems are more related to the cancelling of a football match.
There have been various similar incidents in recent times, but the trouble last Thursday in the Algerian town of El-Abed ( across the border from the Moroccan village of Sidi Boubker, 80km from the city of Oujda in north-eastern Morocco) is the largest to date.
According to MAP several Algerian cities have recently witnessed similar demonstrations in protest of the deterioration of economic and social conditions in the country.Tags: Morocco, Fes, Maghreb, news
