After elections in Morocco and Tunisia saw the win of the Islamist Party of Justice and Development (PJD) and Ennahda respectively, now regional attention will be oriented toward Algeria, the largest country in the Maghreb.
While Algeria may not have seen protests on the scale of its regional neighbors, many Algerians are expressing their political dissent through abstention. On Twitter, the hashtag #10MaiToz was used to post various updates pertaining to police crackdown on minor protests and voter fraud, with reports of registration under the names of dead people used to vote.
