Bouteflika Abdelaziz vs Juan Bosch

Bouteflika pushed through a referendum on the Civil Concord Law, offering amnesty to Islamist militants who surrendered. This helped reduce violence in the Algerian Civil War, though human rights groups criticized impunity.

Abdelaziz Bouteflika won the Algerian presidential election after all other candidates withdrew citing fraud. He succeeded Liamine Z

Bouteflika, in poor health after a 2013 stroke, won a fourth term with 81% of the vote. The election was marred by low turnout and opposition allegations of fraud, deepening political stagnation.

After months of massive Hirak protests against his fifth-term bid, Bouteflika resigned under pressure from the military. His resignation ended 20 years of rule and triggered a political transition.

Juan Bosch was elected President of the Dominican Republic in the country's first free elections after the 31-year dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. He won with 60% of the vote and took office in February 1963, promising social and economic reforms.

After only seven months in office, Bosch was overthrown by a military coup led by General El

Supporters of Bosch launched a rebellion to restore him to power, triggering a civil war. The conflict led to US military intervention (Operation Power Pack) to prevent a perceived communist takeover. The war ended with a ceasefire and a compromise government.

After the civil war, Bosch returned to the Dominican Republic but was barred from running in the 1966 election. He continued to be a prominent opposition figure and intellectual, writing extensively on politics and history until his death in 2001.

Bosch founded the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) after splitting from the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD). The PLD became a major political force, and Bosch ran for president several times, though he never won again. The party later produced three presidents.
