FILE - In this Friday April 10, 2009, file photo shows Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, left, and his brother, Said Bouteflika, arrive at his campaign headquarters in the Hydra district of Algiers, a day after the Algerian presidential election. In Algeria, which has been run by a succession of military men for decades, presidential elections often are foregone conclusion. But not this year. The campaign for the April vote already is raising questions: Will the ailing president run for re-election? If not, will his supporters and the powerful intelligence services be able to agree on someone else? And where does Algeria’s army stand in all this? With the lack of any clear direction from on top, political squabbles are being fought in the media, with the head of the governing party decrying the shadowy intelligence chief’s grip on power, and a journalist accusing the president’s brother of corruption and scandalous personal behavior.
