The popular revolt does not weaken in Algeria despite the health crisis.

Several demonstrations took place this week, in particular Monday, on the occasion of the 2nd anniversary of Hirak, February 22, 2021. On the management of the health crisis, on the impact of this on the Hirak and the debates that have appeared on social networks, and on the announcements of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on his return from Germany, we take stock with the Algerian political scientist Louisa Dris-Aït Hamadouche.
