of casualties of the people wounded or more importantly, people who are missing in action. there is speculation his, it could be those people who have actually died, but just haven't been recovered their bodies, i'm to recover to. they know that if there's a level of and let's head down to bello roofs, where people have gone to the polls for tightly controlled, parliamentary and local elections. long time leader alexandra lucas jenko placed his vote and the polling station in the capital mintz where he confirmed his intention to run again for president. next year. that is likely to extend his grip on the country to 36 years. thousands of opposition parties were denied registration for the single type alex, opponents and exile are just voters to boycott it for parties that support and appreciate goes policies or granted official registration. and found out to be a truck guy is the chief political advisor of exile, opposition,

leader at spelling of picking up sky. we asked him what he expected from the vote. nothing, nothing. you look, there's a couple of try to use these selections to legitimize himself to show that the page has store and that everything is normalized that people are going to vote. but we see something different. we submitted the reparation. there are police cage b, as every polling stations we see must have arrest separately, they taking place and the we cx trimball, the unrealistic door. now to that the official central commission is showing which is not true because all levels and patients are empty basically, for the question case of the task before 2025 presidential elections. you want to make sure that the 2020 protest will not repeat. he's afraid of people, he's afraid of mass on the rest. and he's statements today basically proves he's the fragility and that was fine. i see a ciocca chief political advisor of exile deposition need to spend a lot of picking of sky up in other news because really military has presented its
