ALGIERS: Two polling stations in Algeria's unpopular presidential election Thursday were ransacked in the disaffected Kabylie region, home to much of the North African country's Berber ethnic minority, residents said.

They "ransacked the ballot boxes and destroyed part of the electoral lists" in the mountainous region's city of Bejaia, said one witness contacted by AFP from Algiers.
