No more than 50 people chanted anti-government slogans in a square in the Algerian capital on Saturday as they were encircled by hundreds of police. The opposition called for a mass protest rally to demand reforms and jobs, but most Algerians so far stayed away especially after thousands of police in riot gear were moved to the capital to enforce a ban on the march.
According to Reuters, the small group of protesters on May 1 Square, near the centre of the city, shouted "Bouteflika Out!" -- -- and some waved copies of a newspaper front page with the headline "Mubarak has fallen!"
