Protests in Algeria swell after singer’s slaying
Violent protests over Lounes Matoub’s murder spread in eastern Berber regions, with clashes in Tizi Ouzou and Akbou. One demonstrator died and several injured as youths tried to erect barricades and police used tear gas. Security officials report an 18 year old fatal shooting though authorities deny security force blame. The unrest coincides with opposition to a new law making Arabic the sole official language, affecting French and Berber usage. Berbers have long sought recognition of their language amid Algeria’s six year insurgency.
