(MENAFN) Just 48 hours after his party urged the ageing leader to seek another term in office, Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has made a rare public appearance, The National reported.
In a wheelchair and wearing a three-piece suit, the 81-year-old head of state unveiled an inaugural plaque at the entrance of the capital's Ketchaoua mosque, which reopened after three years of renovation, on Monday.
