Causes: Protests began in January over escalating food prices, high unemployment and housing issues. Then announcement about lifting the state of emergency law. Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika announced this month that he would soon lift the emergency declaration
Effect: They started in Algiers but spread to other cities as more people joined and demonstrators toppled regimes in Tunisia and, later, Egypt. Attempt to head off a similar revolt because of the emergency law.
Deaths: I can't find anything current but reading some articles back in the 1990's when they had a protest about the same thing they said that around 100,000 deaths.
What the U.S is going to do about this: I couldn't find anything but i dont think its a big deal. Nothing that bad is happening to this place.
