The Algerian society in the post-Bouteflika era is best characterized by “turmoil” and “depression”. “Turmoil” is seen in all social aspects：constant street protests，unemployment plagued young people，a marked decline in the quality of public services，and a sharp rise in juvenile delinquency. “Depression” concerns primarily the economic sphere. Structurally unbalanced by overly depending on oil and gas exports，Algeria’s national economy is severely affected by fluctuations in international oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic. Civil society groups resort to street politics to change the government’s decisions and realize their interests and political ideals，but due to their own limitations，they are unable to form an alliance with a broad mass base，which predetermines that street politics will not be able to lift Algerian society out of the crisis at this stage.
