ALGIERS (Dispatches) -- Just two days after its opening in Algeria, the American fast-food chain, KFC, closed its first branch in the capital, Algiers, amid protests over U.S. support to Israel, Anadolu Agency reported.
KFC, along with several other Western brands, faces boycott campaigns worldwide over accusations of financially supporting Israel in its destructive war on the Gaza Strip. The KFC branch in the Dali Ibrahim area, west of Algiers, closed its doors on Wednesday two days after its opening on Monday, according to Algerian media.
