16 September
Algeria's interim president says the country will hold a presidential election on December 12.
Abdelkader Bensalah made the announcement on Sunday.
He took office after President Abdelaziz Bouteflika was forced to end his 20-year rule in April in the wake of pro-democracy demonstrations.
Bensalah initially decided to hold a vote in July. But this was postponed, as demonstrators demanded that more members of the ruling elite leave office before a poll.
In his address on Sunday, Bensalah called for dialogue with demonstrators as the poll approaches.
