Algerian riots cause football cancelations

Posted on January 7, 2011 by duredhawk

This BBC News article discusses an outbreak of riots in Algeria and why this led to halting the weekend’s football matches.  The protests are largely about political repression, food prices, unemployment, and housing.  Football matches are one of the best opportunities for people to express themselves politically, which is why they have been postponed.  The article also discusses recent protests in Tunisia, which likely influence the protesting in Algeria.
