"We expect from our people, in every corner and every iota of beloved Algeria, to contemplate every stage we make, every path we take, every statement we deliver and every direction we endorse. We expect from our people to show understanding which must live up to the level of confidence," Lieutenant General Ahmed Gaïd Salah said during an orientation meeting with officers from the Military Academy of Cherchell named after "late president Houari Boumediene".

In this regard, he said that 

Driven by its devotion to Algeria and its people, the Army will continue to support them, "until the situation returns to normal and until Algeria regains its rightful place among nations," he added.
