Apparently, the next North African revolution to topple another dictator is happening in Algeria.

As Egyptians celebrate their victory in toppling Hosni Mubarak, there is evidence that Algerians are beginning to push harder for their own freedom. Planned and unauthorised marches are being heavily clamped down on and demonstrators arrested.

The world awaits to see to what extent the Algerian regime will use force against demonstrators and the extent to which Algerian demonstrators are prepared to go to win their freedom from dictator President Abdelaziz Bouteflika.

Wael Ghonim the Google Executive whose creation of a facebook group is widely credited with triggering the rovolution that toppled a 30 year old Egyptian dictatorship in just 18 days! He termed the uprising “Revolution web 2.0“. Could twitter and FB do in Algeria what it has done in Tunisia an Egypt?

Abeg let it flow down to sub-saharan Africa. We need the fever in Nigeria.

My Brother i agree! There seems to be a bus "flowing" from Egypt to Algeria. Its members carrying internet phones & laptops. Heard Gabon is trying it's best to join in but oga they need the internet to shout louder!!

In too many African countries allegiance is usually to "tribe". Makes it difficult to rise up on a country level like the Arabs can. These guys are also prepared to be killed for their freedom and better management of their countries - are we?

I hope the Algerians take this opportunity to get themselves free. . . .  the women deserve freedom !!


The Egyptians were bloody organized in their protest . . . that had make shift clinics, supply centers ready to handle as many people as possible, and even communication centers. WOW!!
