location: Tichy
notes: Acts of violence and vandalism continued on 9 January for the fourth consecutive day in some localities of the province of Bejaia. All roads are still blocked. The town of Tichy, hitherto relatively unscathed, was the scene of violent riots that pitted young demonstrators against the police. Inside the police station of the city center, police were forced to shoot warning shots to repel attackers trying to invade their neighborhoods. The local tax office and the headquarters of the Algerian des Eaux (ADE) were looted and torched by rioters. RN 9 was consequently cut off to traffic.
