Highlights
- The protest movement in Algeria has achieved notable, albeit small, concessions from the interim government thanks to its unwillingness to back down.
- The structure of the Algerian government, however, has not changed, and the military and civil government partnership that leads the country will only reluctantly budge in the face of the protests that have challenged that system.
- More than ever, the military occupies a position as the ultimate arbiter of the workings of the Algerian political system, especially as the presidency remains weakened for the foreseeable future.
