10:05 pm
addition could not additions quite do something good i nice days according to the competition after yeah and the other was just like monday or after this that i can see if i had lice by the conditional come through because you can brag that it's most of your miserable booty should you talk about that can see that it's not the constitutional consciousness from time to teach it is so but the saying is the part on the side of the regime this job and i knew as a nation will not win for most musicians with the same kind of pulled that audience has been witnessing before and shoot a new kind of candidate for the regime to have the new model actors all the transition so people who i quickly very satisfied that this is only a way to pull gave you an edge in a sea of blue jeans and are you know maybe and i already announced that it will be
10:06 pm
on the streets on friday they've achieved this much thankful a bite that protest that they feel they can actually get more concessions out of the authorities in algeria by continuing those demonstrations. well you know we are and as the crucial moment for obvious politics i assume that the army say that they won't interfere in politics since the hunted because it might be nine hundred ninety nine at the end of the civil war and they did so in order to get illusion that they want to find schools expand more and that is where was and is by young boys mr putin has been the imprisonment well since then the other generation has been quiet but now with this move from day class even the quantity to clarify was for all their wall of the army the focus of how may have asked not all of them
10:07 pm
suffered some part of them may have asked the army in their van in order to protest the transition and to make sure that the transition one of these done by a part of another help to him and abkhazians maybe the law who will be consul is an issue then the institutions. which are going to emerge from this transition but they never have the army she has this pride in india in part then and she usually does a lot of the new political to them that will be on there is commitment so i believe that it is now this has to that has been going on during the day with titian that was to talk about the the heap but not that much about the army although the obvious no doubt the army haha is pretty messed up is the standard on this date not just that well he did do so that would be a historical part of this you to
10:08 pm
a new the legitimacy of the algerian dish and that of the army and this is also up to the people who are part of the army not sure though that would be with the army commanders who are in the press not the gay pedophile is not even within the ranks of the army for being the most corrupt and i mean officials that the young men have to know or i took it to get your views that i'm a little bit baca joining us live from algeria thank you. well to call want to go to all of the algerian constitution means that if the president is believed to be unable to perform his duties because of a lasting illness then algeria's constitutional council has to assess his condition if it unanimously agrees that the president cannot continue eighteen for parliament which then has to vote two thirds the parliament has to support the removal of the president before any action can be taken the chairman of the upper house will then assume a caretaker role for forty five days if the president's illness last longer than
10:09 pm
that then elections can be called or correspond hashem alberich can join us live now from neighboring at tunisia and hashem first of all why is it the army has decided to do this to intervene in this way right now well simply felicity because the army is the most organized institution in syria since one thousand sixty five is so powerful that i has been reshaping policies it . since it was no surprise and everyone was waiting for that moments particular says the start of the pro-democracy or and to government process in algeria on the twenty the second of february one was waiting for the army's next move because if you want change in algeria you would have to have the backing of the military establishment otherwise it won't work today the army decided to

10:11 pm
this process particularly cynical about what the role of the army might be in the transition period going forward. well you know felicity i think people were waiting to see this come from within political institutions themselves like the parliament convening and saying it's about time for genuine reforms in the country but the problem as a stand might is sixty five just a few years after gained independence the founding fathers of the more than country fought against others and the army how to interfere ninety ninety one with the islamists won the elections the army interfered and cancel the elections so the armies will continue to shape politics in algeria for many years to come in the near future and this explains why some people buy a thing if they can manage to bring everyone on board particularly the protesters and the opposition for a national unity government which out of the people that could that could be conducive to some genuine reforms of the country but that ultimately will depend on
