Almost Diplomatic episodes
- EP33 - Weekend at Bernie's: Algeria EditionThis episode we take a look at the ongoing protests across Algeria which are demanding reforms and that sitting President Abdelaziz Bouteflika not run for his 5th term. Besides the issue of longevity, Bouteflika has not been seen in public since 2013 after suffering a stroke and is reportedly residing in a hospital in Geneva. Not too shocking people want someone who is actually able to perform their duties as leader of their nation.Follow us on Twitter: @AlmostDiploDisclaimer: The comments and views discussed in the podcast are our own and do not represent those of any entity we volunteer with or are employed by.Song: Jail BillzArist: Weeping Icon45 min
