9:14 am
crisis in europe is over the european commission pointing to a ten fold decrease in the numbers of migrants refugees and asylum seekers trying to get into europe is something that i think would be disputed in the vast unsanitary in secure asylum camps in libya african migrants trying to get to europe and of course among the thousands festering in awful conditions inside europe in camps in the greek islands most of those refugees from syria there the crisis is very much not over it in any case why now why use this language when i think it's a pushback against what the commission describes as fake news misinformation myths and untruths about migration put about from within its own ranks you hear this debate very much alive in countries like italy where migration is used to fuel support for parties on the far right one of which is actually in government you hear it in countries like britain but no one has made as much running with it as viktor or banned in hungary who's used it as an election platform he won an

9:22 am
hello again i'm james pays the biggest protests in years against algeria is president again ing strength thousands of people have been rallying for nearly two weeks urging abdelaziz bouteflika to pull out of next month's election the eighty two year old has been in power for two decades but is rarely seen in public after suffering a stroke and twenty thirteen beautifully issued a letter saying he won't complete a full term if he's reelected now the army chief is trying to quell the protests by evoking memories of the civil war of the one nine hundred ninety s. two hundred thousand people were killed in the off the mothman one nine hundred ninety two military coup that came join the election will bring in our guest to discuss all this in a moment but first bring us up to speed this report from emma haywood. they've known no other leader in the one country for twenty years.
9:23 am
but there appears to be a groundswell against algiers abdelaziz bouteflika in the capital algeria's the message from thousands of demonstrating students was clear they want him to leave office now. we are against beautifully karna gets a regime we are fed up twenty years are enough we want change. they've been in power for twenty years we've overlooked the situation for too long to process it's time now for people to wake up and not just citizens. some students were forced to cover their faces suffering from the effects of take ass this outpouring of anger began when algeria's ailing leader announced he would run for with term as president the cry for beautifully cut to step aside has been growing louder every day spreading beyond the boundaries about is. the military which helped
9:24 am
lead and shape the country during and after the bloody civil war in the one nine hundred ninety s. wields power here and its military chief says it wants to guarantee algeria security. that. some parties which feel annoyed to secure and stable do not like it do you want to take back to say years of pain during which people suffered all kinds of suffering and paid a heavy price the great people who lived through such difficult times were never given the bounty of security president beautifully suffered a stroke six years ago and has rarely been seen in public since then he's offered to shorten any new term in power but many here believe that doesn't go far enough. several days. the protests against his room have led to more than two hundred people being injured i am it no can say constitute the right to free expression is
9:25 am
part of the algerian constitution we expect that those rights be respected where there is peaceful demonstrations under the rule of law. the military has warned that some people want to take algeria backwards protests to say that they are looking ahead to trying to secure a better future and after twenty years it is time to change and he would al-jazeera . well let's bring in our guest to discuss this further in algiers joining us on skype we have. she's a research fellow at the paris based school of advanced studies in the social sciences in oxford in the u.k. we have michael willis she's the author of politics and power in the grab. from independents to the arab spring and here with me in doha views of blondel he's professor of international affairs. university welcome to you all can i start with
9:26 am
you you're there in algiers i know you're not a reporter you are nonetheless but i wouldn't like you perhaps to give us an idea what does it feel like what's the mood there right now well we're doing here has changed a lot i mean three weeks ago people remain kind of this there was there was the discourse that actually the country is not going to evolve anymore that there is no live that far the people here and certainly the discourse that's challenged and there's a lot of hope and people are really optimistic but i don't say that it has not cherished without a new reason an important question is asked is why the hell why do we have a lot of the most traces now and makes you promised now well first i did seem to done a chair of the of the regime itself you know for the past two mondays. these vacuum
9:27 am
that has been left bank because we're told as. not threatening by the ruling elites and people who are behind that so what happened actually that i'll try and get used to leave without any president to go too soon to leave without any representative institutions parliament parties even though the election is a process so they finally found that nearly without the presidency and that. they me we gave their country's future you know for a do since the the at the end of this you were there he hasn't insisted to make the audience believe that if they should not trust each other that if they go along with this kiss in which other industries and you see the army name it may happen they get a five dollar a day on the student debt they cooled i mean to go back to dad to
9:28 am
regain trust with each other but they finally did so and that's why you heard during the protests in the us in yeah peaceful demonstrations peaceful demonstrations every time so this is where i am they have yet again trust in each other and trust that they can ask for change peacefully ok you synfuel with me here in doha you also are an expert you're an academic but you're also analogy arion how does this mood feel right now where we are right now are you excited or are you nervous what both functionally you have to be excited to see you with your night the demonstrations all over the country for them on the in the east to the sun to the seats the well most of the government. we saw people in our genes to mostly didn't have the ugly lope but it's the most recent form of jews i think the last
9:29 am
one goes back to two thousand and one obviously people vividly united. allowed one particular idea no to the fifth president but for the cause that's how we started and the second thing is now that the people who want to bring the regime so it's very exciting times for but i decided. to be the cautious be the that these demonstrations may go out of. it becomes violence. so what happened in the ninety's i don't think but it will go into violence because it seems to be that the julians have learned the lessons of the my duties they also learned the lessons from the arab spring countries and like formal jeus so the world or the buzzword for these demonstrations has always been. peaceful peaceful and when we see the youth after the mostly sions cleaning the streets they're
9:30 am
trying to the little ship in algeria as well as the outside world the old demands legitimate the with a little bit to take our country formally you say that the main demand right now is no twelve fifty of beautifully michael in oxford he basically has been unwell throughout his fourth. very very unwell it seems he's not really seen in public very often who really is running out gerry and has been running it recently is. well this is a very good question and i think this is behind a lot of the protests and the unhappiness that since he had his stroke in twenty thirteen and he hasn't as you said been in public he's not able to stand or walk and he has a great deal of difficulty speaking any appears in public two or three times a year he didn't even campaign in his last election in twenty fourteen and i think part of the problem is with sort of it's
9:31 am
a repeat of what happened five years ago i think the last of the last time he was elected for his fourth term in twenty fourteen i think he was given a degree of benefit of a doubt thinking well this may be a lost the political leadership need time to find a successor but they've now had five years and it's clear that they haven't been able to come up on a cap a candidate they agree wave to replace leka and a lot of people find this extremely frustrating and humiliating but they're now represented by a man who wasn't even able to file his. his papers to be took to be a candidate people particularly unhappy over recent years where. the national celebrations and national days the president was was represented by an enormous framed picture of himself making out jerry looked like some sort of bizarre cult or north korea and a lot of ordinary algerians found that very humiliating and very frustrating
9:32 am
perhaps you can give us some more details on this mean people in lots of countries rage about the deep state but it seems out your ear really is run by the deep state give us some idea who is in this shadow we all. i'll mention it previously how was. the gym has been counting his chops by trying to maintain old golf this year all the presidents of the c.d.n. president to have who can kind of been in his physical accent but i will say that even the army who is also another important part of this decision making group that is leading i'll check out how they also been cowed by its own discourse how that you know for years especially since the end of this you work the army has you speak to that instantly that they were enough going to be involved in politics
9:33 am
anymore and finally farcical any chance houseboat to do this course and with. the vice president of defense into yesterday and who the he's the one who resents that the military command within discoursed tracon inc. has not to take the streets because the army wants all the ways to get back to the city where they say well actually i am absolutely disconnected from this discourse why that because while i think they vote do you i did that's not me i have enough to win tonight in politics but the army is always the prospect of the country under risen from serious and up to. an artist in all today believe that she's all of politics and what's going on so we should know now of course we have old ninety's on the on the world clans and so on but if you look very close to what is important that's what makes sense
9:34 am
to the altar and it's none of this that i see is what next to the gym now you know who is leading all git out there just to get rid of those as he has these things and they have made them clear well not only about after. calmly but you want to get rid of their energy and so that's when you hear chair of participation i mean there should that is that is emerging within this is a society within the ranks of these students lawyers. high school. pupils that's the long and the moment i mean all members of our young cancer society and we should be as white should look closely at these new churches sufficiently that she doesn't emerge and you're talking there quite a bit about the military it's interesting twenty four hours ago is in this chair discussing venezuela are seeing one of the military going to do next it's very much one of the most important questions here as we focus on the army of algeria let's
9:35 am
take a closer look it's played a major role in politics since independence from france in one thousand nine hundred sixty two it's one of the most powerful armies in africa with nearly eight hundred thousand personnel in one thousand nine hundred two the military launched a coup just as many believe the islamic salvation front was about to win a second round of the election the first democratic election since independence this marked the start of algeria's so-called black a decade of civil war that killed at least two hundred thousand people and injured many more use if we have the statement from the head of that army. general ahmed. he said out here is army will guarantee security and not on their return to an era of bloodshed but then he sort of was it a veiled threat he talked about the years of pain what would or wouldn't do they did not. because of all of the last few years they have be dull kid who
9:36 am
bowed to the loan of the media to the to basically to put the different views of the country a move to get involved in politics so obviously we did do these demonstrations he reminded basically people but when we do the. countries of the arab spring in mind he reminded the julians that these peaceful demonstrations may turn violent i think that the it's not war and then i would read it much as an advice to those obviously. the other me see sees it as the particular of the country and like you said earlier on it has a big say in how the country is run it all the algerian presidents included with the physical well brought in by the military. as the custodian of the nation obviously it would not allow things to go out of hands but as long as the
9:37 am
demonstrations are peaceful done i think that the military will step aside it's interesting isn't it michael that so far in these protests yes you've had the riot police out there in tear gas and some some arrests but the military have stayed in their barracks do you think the military will stay united michel. i think so i mean at the moment as you said it's a police state in that there and i think as professor blondell said i think there is a great reluctance to get involved the military are involved in the political leadership bagged salad the head of the army is one of the key figures in in the lead in the political leadership of the army. there were the last time that algeria had significant social unrest was in october one thousand nine hundred eight and then the army did come onto the streets and kill significant numbers of people but that was extraordinary controversial and damaged the image of the army and i think the
9:38 am
army would be very very reluctant to go down that path again and i agree that good solid statement the head of the army statement is really to try and diffuse the situation but i think that there is confused and uncertain as the rest of political leadership the political egypt algeria tends to like to do things slowly and not it and behind closed doors so this situation is very very awkward for it it doesn't like moving at this pace it doesn't like this happened just discuss these things openly well if i can ask you there in cheers clearly there were protests at the time of the arab spring and yet they didn't go anywhere why was that back then and is it different this time. well you know when the first the most traditional as a city and then what that have started in all julia writes us for a long queue for a job planned long before two thousand and eleven there has always been
9:39 am
a tradition of resistance within the ranks of judges even if the object is well where one else past facing in the old usual political life that the whole time to be in existence and those made made by the devil full them they always have been highly politicized to. co-create discussion making private jokes about the the leadership of the army and even by. doing last trip in intensity both the legal illegal and compass in the maghreb myth meaning question still out and have always been highly politicized but the problem is that these demonstrations have all i was mentioning where always asking for the state to come back and they never found it down the sound directed the regime so i believe this is the call them and how by stating my own tradition is the fact that now people are no more interested by the same south or are just based. on the state and how to
9:40 am
live next to build their own faith this is what has actually defended them and also a feeling that we should remain you are reconnect with that struggle i mean to have been a lot of wish your answers to them are just and and you can then see now check out and decide that's all going on where also in harrisburg's of this there were also revolution there was so this is a disc and i'm. among the youngest ones so this seems that no. offense to the offspring at such that is really a sense that this is the long route and history that has been there not to malaysian the struggle within the outlet to the society of picnics already. and that's why. you say if we've heard all that talk about the history and there has been a violent past in your country the war of independence against france and then the
9:41 am
very dark days of the one nine hundred ninety s. is it significant given that that so many of these people on the streets are so young perhaps that violent history doesn't worry them so much when i think. when we look at the population in algeria something like forty five percent of the population today is below the age of thirty so if somebody was born let's say in nineteen ninety four he would be twenty five. dispersant has not lived the civil war of the ninety's they were still a child during the arab spring even. but when you talk about two thousand and eleven at least we had the president who could speak to the people the the price of was a one hundred forty thousand one hundred forty dollars a bottle so do you the government was able to invest in peace and subsidize.
9:42 am
increased salaries and so i wouldn't sell for to the national team just made it to . south africa to the world cup deal before so there was some kind of. optimism and so on and so forth but this it's completely different the world the most races but there will in some pockets only but when we see pictures of the president himself in the wheelchair. with the seat belt it's very degrading to other the image of the person himself as well as the country now the people are looking for jobs houses stability and so on and so forth they want to contribute to the future of their country and when we see the demonstrations throughout the country and this is very very important. the birthplace of most of the members of the cabinet to our two countries in two cities in the south so this is for the first time of julien's
9:43 am
are united. around one particular idea it begun with we don't want a fifth of what for the cup and the time went by we saw the people who want to bring down the regime and obviously with what nobody knows what is up in to the president unconfirmed reports say he is still in switzerland on a life support machine nobody knows if it's true or false so the next few weeks the thing the demands will be even higher than the president on a life support machine and some might say michael use of say that the economy is almost on life support was reminding people watching this should be a rich country it's rich in oil and gas. well yes it is it's a major exporter medically of natural gas and basically the political fortunes of a country are often followed the economic cycles and particularly the the price of of the oil and gas the progressive lendl said and one of the things that basically
9:44 am
