An Algerian woman waves the national flag and shouts

An Algerian woman waves the national flag and shouts slogans in support of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika during an election campaign rally on March 20, 2009 in Bachar, 1000 km southwestern of Algiers. Algeria's President Abdelaziz Bouteflika two days ago launched an election campaign by calling for a massive turnout, though none of his five rivals are expected to oust him. Bouteflika pledged a million new homes and to seek to create three million jobs by sponsoring small and medium-sized businesses. Meanwhile, the security forces continue to hunt down small Islamist cells responsible for violence that still claims lives.
