Algeria’s President, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, has announced that a referendum on a new constitution will be held in just over two months, on 1 November.
A draft of the proposed constitution released earlier this year indicated that it would give Algeria’s parliament and the prime minister’s office more power.
There have been many months of pressure for reform in Algeria.
Last year, street protests across the country forced President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to stand down after 20 years in office.
