Mr Bouteflika, who has been terribly sick since he suffered a stroke six years ago, has avoided public events ever since. President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has resigned after weeks of massive street protests, leading to celebrations across the country.

The ailing, 82-year-old leader announced he was stepping down with immediate effect in a letter published by state-run APS news agency on Tuesday, just hours after the army chief demanded action to remove him from office.

The BBC’s Mohamed Arezki Himeur in Algiers says there were huge celebrations in the city, with people shouting and honking their car horns all night.



Car horns could be heard in the streets of the capital, Algiers, as hundreds celebrated the announcement, BBC reports. Excited citizens waved Algeria’s national flags and sang as they celebrated.
