Zitout: "We are like in the end of regime, end of era"

Earlier today, MEE interviewed Mohamed Zitout, one of the founders of the Algerian opposition group, Rachad Movement. He said of the elections:

"It's very sad where we are at the moment, but we are going to see, if there are demonstrations today . . . The  president's health has deteriorated . . . That's never happened before. We have never seen a president in a republic being elected while in this terrible health situation and being on a disabled chair. It gives an idea about the atmostphere. We are like in the end of regime, end of era, but we don't know exaclty what is going to happen. We are escalating torward a chaotic situation which may come in the coming weeks and months."
