Rising food prices have provoked riots in Algeria, as frustrated youths grappling with high unemployment clashed with police in several cities, including the capital Algiers.
Shops in some neighbourhoods in the capital were shutting their doors on Thursday afternoon after riots erupted on Wednesday in protest against steep increases in the price of several commodities, including sugar, cooking oil and wheat.
