Two will do
Magharebia, via TMND:
In response to an initiative in Algeria to amend the constitution and allow President Abdelaziz Bouteflika the opportunity to serve a third term in office, opponents of the plan have broken their silence and initiated a petition against the proposal which they deem undemocratic.
The group of opponents – consisting of former members of parliament, activists, academics, professionals and journalists – expressed their rejection of the idea to amend the constitution in a statement published online and in the press, and launched a campaign to collect citizens' signatures of support.
Unfortunately, "former members of parliament, activists, academics, professionals and journalists" are not known to control anything much in Algeria. Present members of parliament don't either, so this is really nothing on the grand scale of things -- if it isn't the beginning of something larger, which remains to be seen.
Some earlier posts on the same subject: 1, 2, 3, and don't miss what Hugh Roberts has to say about Bouteflikaism.
