In Algeria, former Prime Minister Abdelmadjid Tebboune has been declared the winner of Thursday's presidential vote.
Tens of thousands of Lebanese protested on Sunday to keep up a nationwide street movement that has brought down the government, hours after a smaller rally of thousands was held to support the embattled president.
Lebanon's Prime Minister's resignation is unlikely to trigger the changes that the protestors are demanding.
Hundreds of thousands of Lebanese have been demonstrating in recent weeks over government corruption and the high cost of living, in what is shaping up as one of the largest protest movements in the country’s history.
The protests in Lebanon are linked to the extreme level of inequality in the country.
Protesters are calling for their leaders to resign citing high unemployment, electricity shortages and corruption.
Bouteflika's resignation is a victory for the Algerian people but hard work is yet to come.
Algerians are unlikely to accept Abdel Kader Ben Salah as Acting President for a transitional government.
The delay of elections could push Algerians to continue their peaceful protests.
The state-run media in Algeria was given clear instructions not to cover the protests against Bouteflika.
