Cops in Algeria attack protesters in Tizi Ouzou, the Berber capital of Algeria. Demonstrations began when a Berber high school student was killed April 22 while in a police station. Berbers, who face discrimination in the country, played a key role in Algeria's war of independence against the French colonialists. So far 50 people have been killed by police.
