election results in bangladesh show promise to shake has seen are on course for her third consecutive term in office the opposition has already rejected the results alleging vote rigging and the government says at least eighteen people were killed in election violence around the country then after a campaign mobbed by violence and intimidation more than six hundred thousand security personnel were deployed across the country to ensure the vote passed peacefully which like a scene is the daughter of bangladesh's first president she's been accused of authoritarianism but under her leadership the country has become one of the fastest growing economies in the world she's alternated in power with her main rival for most of the last three decades zia bangladesh national party the largest and an opposition coalition but she's currently in prison serving seventeen years for corruption charges she says politically motivated charles struck for reports from

dhaka. voters cast their ballots upturn in the action campaign described by the band with a show position is one of the most violent in this country's forty seven year history. probably ever do we have a lot of hope in this election because we couldn't vote in the last one but this time we came to that let's see what happens now the government deployed hundreds of thousands of security forces across the country an effort it said that was to guarantee a peaceful vote weeks of violence from what the opposition described as intimidation by the ruling party in the build up to this election certainly the situation at this polling station has been calm but that's not to say there haven't been allegations of voter fraud members of an opposition polling station monitoring team say they had their i.d.'s and election papers confiscated they said they were threatened and ordered to leave. all parties were supposed to have election

monitors at polling stations to watch the voting process and the vote count election commission members confirm to us they had also seen opposition members to the way. we fourteen members of the opposition b.n.p. entered the polling station we gave our papers to the presiding officer and he said to go to the booth then the ruling party members beat us and forced us from the building. with the government down the old was asian acknowledge a number of supporters from both sides who were killed on election day. but the ruling party said the election had been free and fair then this from the leader of the largest opposition coalition including the main opposition party over. the urge immediately to cancel this would reject the so-called result of the election we demand to hold another election under a non politicized government. the election commission says it will investigate

allegations of vote rigging but the announcement by the opposition that it has rejected the vote has huge implications for the political future and security situation across this country struck at al jazeera. and joining me now from momo in sweden is taz named kelly l. an exiled bangladeshi journalist and writer on human rights issues that is very much for coming on to al-jazeera unfasten and your reaction to this what seems to be a long slide victory. i mean really are we are we looking at a fourth term that's been a underlined her grip on power here. what we're looking at right now is one of the most. rigged election in history in bangladesh is history it's not a lens lead to victory but the ruling party has many edge to. rig i mean nearly all of the three hundred constituencies in this election so it is beggars

belief really. and how can you obvious thing as anecdotal evidence of various a ballot boxes being rigged but to say that it's so extreme and so widespread where is the evidence. will the opposition party i mean they have they they have monitoring cells and they have sent centers evidence i mean constitution see articles you didn't see and they have described in great detail and i mean nearly all of that actually checks out to it as statements we received via social media we saw video clips of source of photographs b.b.c. for example in she took on b.b.c. reporters saw. field ballot boxes drinking in do pulling boards it's unprecedented it it's brazen and it's the security forces themselves who are

involved in carrying out these rigging operations. as you mentioned that have been anecdotal bits of evidence let me just ask you this question the economy is doing so well is it not possible that really people do want to see more of the same. well what has happened bangladesh the g.d.p. growth has been a really impressive i mean anyone did it meet that but what we have i mean it's only the top five percent of the population that that they became breacher but the rest of the ninety five percent the there where they have actually become poorer so it's a very on equal group and that is why there is widespread discontent and also people are not necessarily you know it's a false choice that you have to have economic growth on the one hand or you can

choose rights and liberties in bangladesh we have a situation where it journalists can be it darted from his home just just for talking to others era which has happened very recently we journalists read a lot. of this is this is a false choice and people are not even you know allowed to choose how important is it for the prime minister to have the international community recognizing this as a credible result. well it's very interesting initiate a scene according to an interview our son gave to the reuters news agency she likes being called a authoritarian by the by the with by western media and she thinks that say that's on her so it's a very very complex situation we have here. but i mean of course the

international community is spatially they not distain is the united kingdom the european union the commonwealth and the united nations they have insisted for a very long time that the opposition parties take part in these elections under this political government. the opposition parties have been saying that you know free and fair and credible elections and not possible under under political governance so i mean today the opposition party is clean has been proven beyond doubt and we are very keenly waiting to see what what these international actors have to say about about this rigged. and stage managed election very good to get your first has thanks very much for

latin america to zero as have to fill a void that needed to be filled. well come back remind of the top story on al-jazeera al-jazeera has obtained footage from outside the saudi consul general's residence in istanbul that shows the suspects in the killing of jamal khashoggi carrying large bags around the time he disappeared a well known journalist was last seen alive entering the building on october the. unofficial results in bangladesh is general election show that prime minister

shaikh a seen as party is heading for a decisive victory the opposition has already rejected the poll on the day mob by the deaths of eighteen people and reports of widespread vote rigging. and there have been scenes of chaos at some polling stations in the democratic republic of congo this vote is trying to cast that ballots in the country's long delay presidential election voters have been frustrated by the rain broken voting machines and missing ballot lists voting has been extended into the night. when we can now speak to fred from the activist group struggle for change which is how they tame of election observers monitoring the vote he joins us now live via skype from goma could you just tell us first of all what do you think this is all the reports of a sort of moving around these vote polling stations is this vote rigging or is this just very bad organization. i think it's

a very bad organization and i think everybody knew at the beginning that the sydney wasn't ready to organize the election this day or door sydney keep saying that they were they will be ready i figure mostly the disorder that we saw today is due to the desire to the incompetence of leaders of sydney in addition today. absence of willingness to organize free and fair elections and you're of the service of being out and about on your colleagues what sort of an anecdotal evidence have i saying at things not going well and how are people reacting to that so from what we saw in goma especially there were three main kind of incidents first at the beginning. of polling stations so in many many offices in many

stations devoting much in what it couldn't function and. we saw many people lining up for hours for myself i i lined up for two hours before one thing because it was so slow and in the station in the station the voting machine wasn't. functioning normally and that is something we saw in so many police stations and people start becoming impatient and. it's some moments we fear that people will turn into violence against the. elect electoral didn't the second kind of incident. is related to the list to diverting. list so many people couldn't find their names on those lists and. do what they

saw in many police stations like laval com or when we can or events and there is that so many people who can watch the voting cards couldn't just couldn't vote because their names wasn't on the least and they couldn't nobody could explain it evan evan people from the same new century there are many people many homeless people who have been excluded for a distro system just because they didn't know who tried to sell on the on the list and at the end. when there was closing. the offices they closed it looked needed some cases we saw that the police interview and to push electoral commission to vote to call the police stations this happened at the now it happens also in some putting sites in do not force and evan one the

people some in some. places people of city tried to insist to. keep receiving some people to police couldn't accept and so many other people was excluded also because of that social me this election was really more about the organized and can i just ask i don't think you can really they are just very faithful can stay at such a turning point and that they are saying how important is it that people do recognize this is a credible election. i think people do does a tree people don't think this is credible election however people feel that this is the very moment they have to deter mean they had to choose the change so the. us that we are seeing around this election is less due to the fact that the believe

it or where but they believe in voting they are in trucks. choosing change and they are finally getting laid off. the sheep that is that is all they. are all nords this elite is not. credible or the process and many polls show that but the idea of having change this elections is the key to understand these and to get very grateful for your thoughts on this fred bama thanks so much for talking to us. afghanistan's presidential election has been postponed by three months to give the authorities more time to organize that ballots the new votes will be held on july the twentieth it comes after october sparling mencia polls were heavily criticised with huge delays at polling stations and malfunctioning equipment the timing of the power has

also been complicated by talks between the u.s. special envoy and the taliban aimed at launching a peace process in afghanistan. so downs president omar al bashir has admitted his country is in crisis and has called on police to abstain from using excessive force against anti-government demonstrators at least nineteen people have been killed in unrest since december the nineteenth of the rights group amnesty pacifica much higher demonstrators are calling for bashir to step down as anger rises over the high price of basic food food and fuel he says years of international sanctions and a lack of oil revenue half the economy and in a speech to police he insisted the country would pull through the turmoil but the madness is that i'm lucky. for us we're going through a crisis and the people are facing challenges and we stay awake trying to solve it but we can't solve problems with more problems and destruction destruction and

looting will deepen the problem and not solve it we will get out of this crisis despite everyone trying to get us to kneel through an economic crisis we are a country that god blessed with a lot of resources on top of its human resources we have people qualified in media fields and we could use these qualifications with what god blesses us who are national resources like a group culture animals plants minerals or anything else and we will get through this period but it needs patience wisdom and good management. south korea's president has received a letter from north korean leader kim jong asking for more summits in the new year president moon in his office says came also expressed regrets that he was unable to visit the south before the end of twenty eighteen came and moon met three times this year and have made a series of goodwill gestures for mcbride has more from seoul. the presidential
