Algeria’s newly elected president said Friday he
would “extend a hand” to the Hirak protest movement that has rocked the North
African country since February.
“I extend my hand to the Hirak for a dialogue to
build a new Algeria,” Abdelmadjid Tebboune said at his first press conference
in Algiers following his victory in a poll bitterly opposed by demonstrators.
