The Algerian presidency announced on Saturday evening the death of former President Liamine Zéroual at the Mohamed Seghir Nekkache military hospital in the capital, after suffering from a chronic illness.
A formal statement said that the deceased, who is considered one of the most prominent figures of the Algerian state, passed away this evening after a struggle with the disease, without providing further details about his health in recent times.
Zéroual is considered one of the prominent political and military figures in the modern history of Algeria, where he assumed the presidency during a sensitive stage of the nineties of the last century, before withdrawing from political life.
