Visit Alger!

Greetings r/algeria!

We are a few swedish political science students visiting Tunisia 17-24th of April and have recently discussed flying over to Alger for a few days (after the election) before returning to Sweden. The recent demonstrations and the upcoming election does however make us doubt if this idea might be good. If i have understood correctly, demonstrations of this scale is very rare. We were hoping that someone could shed light on how the situation will/could evolve that's not a newspaper trying to make it look more worse than it is. Do you think we will be able to make our way around and experience the city? How is the security-situation right now and do you think it will get worse?

​

I understand that these questions are hard to answer but any input is appreciated!
