Wednesday 17/02/2021 Algerians rally in the northern town of Kherrata, marking some of the first Hirak protests on February 16, 2021. (AFP) ALGIERS - Tens of thousands of Algerians flocked to the city of Kherrata, east of the capital, to mark the second anniversary of the start of Algeria’s popular protest movement, waving Algerian and Amazigh flags. They chanted the usual slogans of the Hirak, such as “For the independence of Algeria,” “President Tebboune is a forger brought in by the army” and “the generals in the trash.” Kherrata, which is 300km east of Algiers, is considered the cradle of the Hirak. On February 16, 2019, thousands of Algerians gathered spontaneously, calling for comprehensive political change and the total removal of the powers in place.
