Algeria army urges removal of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika - BBC News
Algeria's army chief of staff has demanded President Abdelaziz Bouteflika be declared unfit to rule after weeks of protests against him.
"We must find a way out of this crisis immediately, within the constitutional framework," Lt Gen Ahmed Gaed Salah said in a televised speech.
The president has already agreed not to stand for a fifth term in upcoming elections, which have been delayed.
But demonstrators accused him of a ploy to prolong his 20-year rule.
