It's too soon to say that the political crisis in Algeria will end well, but Algerians are off to a better start than one might have expected.
It certainly helps that the usual pro-authoritarian coalition ("anti-establishment"left, hard right, Russia, and social media trolls) was too busy with Venezuela to launch information operations against the Algerian protesters before they could get momentum.
And there were probably outside parties inclined to intervene if they possibly knew what they would do.
As a result, at least for a while, one Arab country was let make its own choices.
