hello welcome to the program has them see the rule of algerian president abdelaziz bouteflika is in trouble the head of the army after made the gates says he wants a beautifully declared unfit for office there been more than a month of protests across the country people are angry the president has held on to power for twenty years and many don't just want with a flick a gone but a change in the ruling establishment they say is corrupt and they're demanding free and fair elections laura burden manoli it sets up our discussion with this report. that. it's was a dramatic development after weeks of protests in algeria the head of the army has called for the triggering of a constitutional process or article one or two paving the way for president abdelaziz bouteflika to be declared unfit to rule but that you have to believe we need to find a solution to sort out this crisis and to respond to the demands of all jury and

within the constitution and within the sovereignty of the country in order to achieve that consensus and to achieve something that is accepted by all parties. the triggering of article one hundred two means the constitutional council can declare the position vacant if the president is too sick to exercise his functions if two thirds of parliament agree the chairman of the upper house will become acting president if we follow the constitutions more or less the same people who are running the country at the moment we've been in it for the foreseeable future and forty five days to ninety days depending on the situation beautifully guy has been in power for twenty years but he's rarely been seen in public since suffering from a stroke in two thousand and thirteen he's being credited with ending a decade long civil war in two thousand and two which killed tens of thousands. was but in recent weeks hundreds of thousands of people have poured out into the

streets calling for the to flicker to step down. the many are angry with beautifully his decision to run for a fifth time they also accuse the ruling elite of corruption but many are skeptical of the process to remove the president will make any difference who was in the dumont we have reached an unfortunate situations the one of today we have no professional democracies we want a system to permanently deal we want a new government i mean the protesters fear the military and business leaders in power now who remain in place if the eighty two year old leader and i botch where there's fierce opposition in the streets the same people have offered fuel turn attempts to beautifully construal for inside story laura garza.

well let's bring in our guest now in london we have algerian journalist and writer jamel idema talib in oxford michael well as a professor at the university of oxford and author of the forthcoming book algeria politics and society during the beautifully presidency and in robot morocco we have a new file aboud he is the executive director of the north center for conflict transformation where he researches democracy and peace building in the muslim region welcome all of you gentlemen. demanded in polyp if i could start with you what do you make of this latest development and then this announcement from the military chief of staff algerians if you a few enlarges mainly in the social media world they say it's they say clearly it's too little too late it's too little that's not what they want they want real regime change because this they think. the chief of the army what he's calling to trigger

the constitutional process. it's like a coup a masked coup in a way himly was a lawyer for many years to good he did not even respond to for many years allusions were calling to trigger the constitution this article had going to before that article eighty eight the fall for a book. the constitution and too late because algerians they don't want all of which we have got to go they want real change regime change who'll be get'em to change not only beautifully. michel as how significant is this development for you and will it be enough to satisfy the protesters on the streets. i don't think there's quite a significant or some people are saying i agree very much with your last speaker i

think there probably two things going on here firstly it's an attempt by the regime because of the leadership to make some sort of be seen to be making some sort of concession to the protesters in the street in the hope that they will go back home on the protests will be ended or reduced i think also it's an attempt to buy time for the regime if this provision in the constitution to remove leak of a sitting president because he's not physically able to take. take take continue his duties that will be lead to a process of several months of transition which will be managed and run and overseen by people who are part of the existing in a circle of regime which means very little is likely to change so i think basically the move was really one of continuation i think the only possible significance there might be is that it may indicate some splits within the ruling group control

algeria but there may be some difference between the president and his family who are involved in the regime but of these brothers and possibly the army and the others on some side but we really don't. i know for our boot who actually runs algeria because of it's not beautifully himself as many suspect. and that this this ailing eighty two year old. leader who is in poor health is a front for others who are these others exactly so our jury have been run in by what i call the deep state which is a number of people who functions within the hidden networks of power around the president and so forth and what is interesting in this. movement and the moderation of crisis in and in algeria it actually brings out the deep states and the counter stations the people of algeria have been expressed in along this movement and it's interesting now it's and how fascinating for example how this movement by people in

algeria mostly led by young women and men has shifted and changed the tone of the deep states. like if we read from the statement of the chief of staff of the military now the military suggests it does not order they suggested that article one o two it's also fascinating how this movement has shifted also the discourse not only around national security but some kind of democratic process which is very interesting you know what is happening today is clearly states the division between the deep states who are the hidden network of power in algeria and the new generation of algerian people who are actually in the street. generally what about the divisions within the government except itself i mean where does the military leadership stand in relation to some of these others other leaders behind

a civilian leaders business leaders and so on his brother is there is there a kind of jockeying for power going on there behind the scenes. well actually according to a french magazine jennifer flick says that the move of the chief of the army was only in consultation with the beautifully cuz family bailey his brother say but your candor some beautiful people they claim actually it's a maybe who is running around in his doctoral the acting president of algeria for many years since two thousand and thirteen since the stroke of a car and then also with the. russia foot free it's like who's running a g r securely the deep state is it to correct maybe or call it from robert is maybe it's more like or it's referred to the d.m.'s to the secret service is mainly to. feel queer on who or who was in charge of the

secret services for a quarter of century. the who's running algeria is the cabal of generals. and with the wood beautiful his family himself and then the images of also of corrupt businessmen were playing who are part of the question now in algeria. the chief of the army he's moved is actually interpreting. the army is trying to to have the upper hand and there is a saying in algeria the firm's historian and militant one hundred have been saying that all states they have armies algeria is the exception the army the have a state the army is since the independence of it held the real

power we are as they call it in a jury and now good solid he was loyal to put there is a personal. dimension also in this development. for many years he was the. number two in the army and then the head of the army at the time in two thousand and four general mohammed lamarre wanted to allstream actually would feel perceive the because of the un but few can according to the constitution is the chief supreme of the army of. the move of gates are is like he is trying to oust his boss in a way and bootlicker also has the position of the defense minister his the pretty is gates gates solid was invented as the pity of. the. defense minister in two thousand and thirteen during that time were put in

a cause aiding in poor health and then in was in a french hospital julia foreman yes it has been. the property of the army in a particularly stick where sometimes they play on this. nationalist evolution. in a way but really the army is at the center of all what's happening in algeria they are held responsible actually for this situation for many years and chileans they were calling even now in the wall street issues for many weeks they were calling they were saying army and people are our brothers they were calling the chief of army maly and the generals of the army to look to fire what they think it's merely then fault they. area to this position we don't have to forget that but fielkow was brought to do to argyria as

a president by the serbs much awareness there is there is there is a sense from the protesters from from the time that these protests began that this is a lot more than than than than beautifully care himself i mean he was the trigger when when he announced that he was going to run for another term but things are moved beyond that hand there are many protests they they simply want to change to the whole system so is this what we seen over the last twenty four hours going to make any difference to their. i don't think it will make much difference i think really it is about the whole system you're absolutely right it starts of beautifully but one of the reasons why people are so unhappy was a fact the beautiful ego was so manifestly not running and in control of things and the question was who was actually running things behind the scene and after he was

elected in twenty fourteen when he was similarly incapacitated he's even more incapacitated now and people felt humiliated and the demand is for the whole system to go that means not just for president not just a few ministers but the whole entourage surrounding the president and there's demands for a constituent assembly to draw up a new constitution have fresh elections and change and reform the whole system what the regime and the current leadership is trying to do is trying to rearrange a few people a shift people in keep that keep the tension of the same faces there and return to business as usual once a protests have died down but i don't think the protests are going to die down in the near future until there is really substantial change oil there's a feeling there's going to be substantial change at the top the regime where a lot of the old faces have left. it's picking up on that then new fall if this if this if this move by the military is all about just kind of rearranging rearranging

the seats of power so to speak and it's not going to be enough for the protesters on the streets what are they going to do then what's their next move. well first we have to understand one something that is very important is the relationship between the people and the military in algeria. average algerians have some kind of pride in the military there is a military draft and the compulsory military service the the role of the military in in the in the war in algiers and the people have built some kind of emotional connection not only based on religion between the people and the military this is we have to understand this very importantly as a matter of fact the army in the jury is called the national popular army and you can see the linkages even in the discourse between the people and the military what happened is that it's the same kind of relationship that the people has with their head not only based on religion but it was also emotional on his role as being the

savior for the civil war in algeria what happened is that the military have seen the degree of the emotional connection between the president and the people and they wanted to save what they could save actually but also suggesting some kind of emotional discourse some commotion all conversation with the people by proposing several things including the article one or two and that they have learned from the fact that. the president was not in the scene it was not addressing the nation directly and that is why we see the chief of party more often in the media talking to the people to rebuild that kind of emotional romanticism kind of thing between the army and and the people i think it's a little bit too late why because first of all even in the constitution in article if all of this kind of constitutional are you it says that the president addresses the nation directly which hasn't been the case for the last sixty years and more.

it's a little bit too late for what the army is suggesting. and what he suggest in. article one or two is most likely if it's applied and implemented if the president of the upper or house of the parliament would take would be the interim president aren't they who is a been solid with the upper house and interim who could be the interim president is somebody with an eighty year old the person or man who is also not well. and does not have that emotional connection with the people and i don't think the people would accept that either so here. there is two images here there is an image of a deep state mostly men in their seventies and eighties and you have the people in the streets what are mostly young woman and men industries who did not necessarily live the civil war or the the war of algiers so how things are

going to be in the future from for me personally is dad. everything will be based on who will be in the table of negotiations the proposition of the army of the chief of staff of the army of bly in the article one or two for me is that ice breaker is the beginning of some kind of negotiation between the deep state and the people who would be. in the table of negotiation from the people that would be important i would like to hope and hope and i would like to see that the same image that we see in the streets with this young woman and men in the street with this women are also who come in the media and share with us analysis of what's going on and what are the hopes of the people and what are the demands would be also represented in the table of negotiations jamel jemele din talent these protests when you look at them. seem to be it seems to be largely

a leaderless. movement there is no central leader that they seem to be rallying behind unlike other protests that we've seen elsewhere in the world like in venezuela for example what do you make of that is there is that a weakness or is that perhaps a strength. actually maybe it's a strength because all if there is leaders for this movement because the regime regime is well known for an infiltration and try to make they are there actually they were trying they brought the only blame it to the u.n. envoy to try to help them in a way to save the regime. in this free by creating leadership for this hillock as they call it for this uprising for this fantastic movement the algerians they rose because they felt him elite they were joe all of this great nation who made history though there was simply five in this important ailing president on

a wheelchair that's why the algerian rose and now there are even cause in the they are refusing what the chief of the army proposing and then they want again they are already demonstrated demonstration in the streets and they are calling for a lot of friday if i don't know the mill junia as they call it for a lot of millions of g. and to go to the streets to take the streets again and then to. insist on their demand because they think this is like a trick of the chief of the army of the regime to fool the algerians they want to sacrifice. and keep the same regime funny enough like one of those will hated in the algerian or in algeria with from the algerian people. at the sec prime minister one of the head of one of the parties of the presidential.

party is he was calling to resign. or what all the algerians were angry they were saying you are part of the problem you want to put the country have to go and. they gave a chance to the chief of the army they are calling they are saying brothers the army and people are brothers now they're turning against their own team as well to go because they gave him a chance to open a historic window for himself because he is. associated with. protecting your car all this regime all this corruption we don't the help and the support of the army. all this regime of this couple of corrupt businessmen they would not have lost that all this michael for twenty years. but recall is that trillion dollars michael well as this this protest movement when you

look at it does seem to be very grassroots in its nature is that going to make it that much harder for the regime to deal with. i think it is i mean it's a remarkable cross-section of a population as well as a remarkable number of a population with the hundreds of thousands possibly millions of people on the streets every week in all the major cities and from a whole cross-section of the population is not just one particular part of a population it's young people it's old people it will breed a speaker said a lot of women involved a lot of even. veterans from the liberation struggle and they're all coming together to say that tolerance system isn't working and the current leadership needs to go and this is a continuing demand they do not want to see a reordering of the system they don't want to shuffling of people they don't want to bring in some other individual that's going to be controlled by the old system they want the system to go but i think it is going to be

a little bit difficult because there isn't a direct representative of the protests i think the existing opposition parties don't have much credibility the people there they're making statements they're supportive of it but it's a way of finding some sort of representation from the protest to talk and engage with the regime maybe through a constituent assembly maybe through some sort of transition but there is a lot of wariness amongst ordinary algerians but any transition process will be used by the existing regime to buy time and make sure it's controlled and the nothing too big happens and things stay more or less the same but i think the people will continue coming out on the streets week after week in huge numbers until something really changes so i think it really of a ball is in the court of the regime but it needs to stanch will reform to convince people that actually something has changed and that they can go back home and they can feel that something has been achieved or i am going to give what's probably going to be the last word then to a new far labu day and about the minute that we've got left how do you see this

playing out then use do you see these protests continuing as they are do you see the government responding more meaningfully what what he thinks might happen now. i think that our jury people were very smart because that advent each time that advanced one kind of condition that they will be calling for for in the beginning it was a centralized discourse about butterfly ago and now we have seen that they're asking for the system to go and we don't know what's going to be the next. build in the democratic process required at least for things a solid judiciary a solid executive and a solid parliament but also and mainly and this is the dominant narrative now in the streets in nigeria a transparent military we have to know that the jury in military is the fourth. among the fifth largest countries in in the world who actually importance of large arms and weapons. i'm sure is among the eleven countries that spends more than four

percent of g.d.p. on the military and the people know that what's going to happen to me is that people will be in the street and there will negotiate every point at the time all right and on that note we're going to have to leave it. michael willis and new file aboard thanks very much for being with us and thanks so much for watching inside story as always you can see the program again any time by visiting our website at c.n.n. dot com and for more discussion there is our facebook page facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle at a.j. inside story for me hasn't taken a whole team here by finale. april

lizzie's beautifully. also the main opposition in thailand joins forces with six other parties to form what it calls a democratic front as voters await the results of sunday's election. in london with a top story from the british prime minister says she will step down if her break stick deal is approved as m.p.'s in london debates alternative option. and celebrating a nation's past and present culture opens the doors to its new national museum. so algeria is ruling party v.f.l. and has come out and backs and army call to remove the president from office on monday the army chief and suggested the use of a constitutional provision to have president up the disease but to figure declared unfit for office the military's intervention followed weeks of protests against the president and his backers so here is with us monitoring events from

tunisia. i mean this would appear to be the rising on the wall for president bush if they can. yes this is a strong indication that what we're going to see in the coming days is growing erosion him in political support for president and that is his will to flee across so we have now after the army the ruling party distancing itself from out of that i was able to have a key member of the governing coalition. here also is asking the president to step aside technically speaking this means that the parliament is now ready to vote with a majority for him to be removed from office which is going to pave the way for the chairman of the opposite chamber of the parliament to take over. and to resume president and then hashem i mean it would be

a long process one and even though we do seem to have a lot of movement the constitutional council moving quickly the whole idea of a new constitution and refreshing almost the entire leadership it could be months. and this is creating some problems now as you have the obviously has to be or or that the best way out of the crisis in syria is for this to go through the institutions of the state the constitutional council then the in you enter in president who will have to steer the country away from trouble the protestors or the oppositions are over different view they say that all of that is this you shows that govern and syria now have lost legitimacy because they are all in a way or another affiliated with president our guys with the constitutional council sherman was appointed by the president the government was appointed by the president and many institutions are. backing him what they are suggesting instead

is a new independent figure who has huge support among the are serious to leave the country for a transitional period and then they can draft a new constitution and organize view about a military and presidential elections so we have two visions but there is no consensus about how to move forward the opposition is saying that is going to go ahead with its plans to rally more support for the protests on friday if that happens it could be an indication that the political crisis in and syria is definitely going to go for quite some time before there's any sense of compromise about how to narrow the differences between the military establishment on one hand the opposition and the protesters on the other and hashim would you expect to see the protests on the streets fire up again and maintain that sort of momentum which they've had for for weeks. most likely because most of her wish as she has a leading human rights activists in and one of the leaders of the project ocracy movement has insisted today that the momentum is going to continue and that the

protests. jewel to appear on the streets on friday if the question now is whether they will be able to maintain the momentum if we see an increase in the number of the protests across. in a repudiation of the same scenario that we saw last friday or the friday before it could be a strong indication that the project ocracy or the anti-government movement in and syria is determined to go ahead with its plan because for them the problem is not on their of their eyes is what the problem is the establishment and will they say the stablished moment they refer to the president the presidency of the government the inner circle of the president and his close interest they want all these people to go and they want someone else someone who has the digital missy and someone who has the respect of the algerian people to tackle the problems and the challenges that algeria has to face in the near future hashim obama with the latest

developments out of algeria thank you. well the news and political leader has made his first public appearance in gallons us since his office was bombed israeli jets destroyed a number of buildings on monday and tuesday night as dozens of rockets were also fired into israel declared victory as a ceasefire brokered by egypt is now in place. palestinian resistance kept its word and the israeli enemy received the message the resistance can deliver its message in the proper time and place i call on our people to commemorate the next our anniversary to refresh their belonging to their land especially as the great march of return started a year ago i would like to greet our egyptian brothers for their efforts to reach the ceasefire understanding and for stopping the israeli aggression and gaza more on this now with stephanie decker she is that the israel gaza border fence. the real test will come this weekend when palestinians in gaza mark one year since the

start of the great march of return which has seen tens of thousands of palestinians protest along the border fence the real issues that they've been wanting to highlight is that they need to improve how they're living living under blockade by both israel and egypt there are no opportunities people will tell you that it is the worst that it's been in nears why because of the economic situation the lack of opportunities and it simply seems to be getting worse now there's been huge sacrifices made throughout this year many have lost their limbs because of israeli sniper fire many have been killed there have been active negotiations mediated by egypt in the united nations to try and increase the flow of goods into gaza to increase the opportunities for people freedom of movement across the borders extending the fishings and there are multiple things that need to be addressed but none of that seems palpable and this is why we understand from our colleagues inside gaza at the moment we call enter because the official border crossing remains closed including to journalists other than from humanitarian issues is that

they are seeing this as a lost opportunity where expecting a huge amount of people to come out and protest along that border fence how is israel going to react is going to lead to yet another escalation we're going to have to wait and see the u.n. envoy for libya is accusing at least ten countries of meddling in libya nefarious saudi arabia one of the countries on that list is currently hosting the renegade libyan warlord honey for hafta think someone met how after in riyadh on wednesday an assured him of the country's continued support. let you know how i say that that there are about ten countries meddling in libya and working closely with this it could tell you general and i keep them posted of whatever information i received as a result of interference by dostana states that i requested them in turn to advise the security council on this issue in. an attack by boko haram has killed fourteen people in eastern the two suicide bombers set off their explosives in a town in the differ region witnesses said government also opened fire on police
