arrest on charges of rape rights groups say that they're concerned about the crackdown on demonstrators including all the tree arrests and the suspension of 2 private t.v. channels over the coverage of the violence let's go live now to the capital dhaka al-jazeera sticklers talk is that there what's happening where you are now. well i'm in the wealthiest neighborhood of the capital in the current neighborhood called ahmadis in fact at the end of this road is the united states embassy this is probably the most secure area of the capital there is multi 1000000 dollar houses and most people that live in this neighborhood well up until yesterday came here to shop in this french supermarket look at what is left of it now outside you see some of the employees that work here we've seen some of them in tears seeing what had happened yesterday we saw on social media footage of people around the

supermarket going inside trying to get supplies even early this morning we saw children even mother is coming in getting toilet papers cans of food all sorts of supplies as much as they can get in this and just happening here it's happening in different areas of the capital now there is an eerie calm for the moment in the capital we've seen people rushing to other supermarkets and tried to get supplies fearing if there's going to be more protests no protests yet we're hearing that there will be a press conference by. we spun suncoast party but take a look at what has happened earlier today inside this supermarket. this is much more than than politics the the rest of the spun song has crystallized this feeling and remember we spent on ko describes himself as the anti establishment politician he's been very critical of the relationship of big corporations with the state and

the government specifically the president himself accusing him of corruption and not has really resonated among many people here as pacifically after this year of of pandemic where the government has put really restrictive measures on the on the on on people the curfew has badly affected some of these people who no longer can earn a living many of them have stalls fruit and vegetables stalls and they're not able to sell they're not able to compete with big corporations that sell their vegetables at half the price that they are selling it so there is this feeling that this protest is not just about politics it's about a social movement it seems you know protesters going on protesters these are people that live in this neighborhood young people to come here to get by and to get some food maybe for today. and it's not just happening here it's happening in so many

other places not just in the capital but throughout the country. are a 3rd of the population of senegal live under the poverty line and some of the people that we saw trying to get inside this supermarket are actually just telling everybody right behind me these are street children that they're trying to get back this has been a particularly difficult year because of the current virus pandemic in the restrictive measures put in place by the government and also we've seen during this year in unprecedented record of people going on to boat sailing across to europe 20000 people try to make it across to europe to the borders of spain in the canary islands most. of these boats come from senegal and this is something that is unusual even the government had to give out food aid last year and so there is a sense from many people that this isn't just about the opposition figure we saw about 9 months some go it's also about people that feel they are not represented or

cared for by their government and that's the challenge ahead for president like he said he was out earlier on assessing the situation and trying to see how we can move forward after these protests that's going to be the challenge ahead the minister of interior has called this one suncor saying that he has called insurrection public disorder and there are still charges against him and he will be meeting the judge on monday morning and we suspect depending on the outcome of that meeting there will be more protests to come adrian serious nicholas hawk reporting live there from dakar senegal nick many thanks but francis has appealed for common ground among religious groups on the 2nd day of his historic visit to iraq the leader of the catholic church was speaking at a meeting between those of different faiths in the agent city of it's a significant site for christians muslims and jews.

grand ayatollah for iraq who has played a pivotal role in edicts ranging from elections to recent protests and is very important a figure in iraq and the pope making sure that he starts his 2nd day. out to the most important religious cleric here in this country and discussing with him diff support for christians as well as harmony and peace worldwide you have to realize that there is not just conflicts within iraq but it goes beyond the beyond the boundaries of it often in the wider middle east in syria and in the palestinian territories and other parts of the world as well and that is something that both leaders sat down and discussed and the pope discussed also a how christians are need to be supported by the population here in iraq and that was something that was a short to him by the grand ayatollah ofter that the pope of the ancient city of or the birthplace of prophet abraham the most important site for religious people

a religious site for most interesting jews and there the pope made his message as the messenger of peace saying that there is no peace without interfaith harmony the future of iraq has to be built by people of all faiths coming together and be controlled that divisions are not part of the daily discourse mentioning that violence and extremism is not taught by any of these religions. egypt's president fattah el-sisi has wrapped up a diplomatic visit to sudan he met sudan's leaders including the head of state of the father of the han they discussed several major issues including the dispute with ethiopia over the grand race on stem earlier this week egypt and sudan called on the international community to mediate in the crisis that. we discussed the renaissance dam in ethiopia this affects all the countries around the nile basin we agreed to continue our efforts on coordination and consultation we insist on returning back to negotiations in order to achieve

a fair balanced agreement regarding the filling and operation of the dam for the sake of egypt sudan and ethiopia or from al jazeera to have a mortgage in khartoum. now talks have stopped for weeks now because the 3 sides can't reach a deal on how to move forward and how to run the talks before if you appear to start a 2nd feeling in july with the coming with the onset of the rainy season sudan and egypt have stressed that they want the observers to have a greater role they want them to play a mediator role now this file is obviously being handled by the african union a former south africa now by the democratic republic of congo but what's sudan and egypt are saying is that they want the united states the european union and the union and the the united nations to have a greater role alongside with the african union to be able to reach some kind of solutions that's because as president the feeling and the operation of the dam

without a legally binding deal will impact at least 20000000 people who are living along the streams of the nile here in sudan as well as the operations of the receivers anderson our dams here in sudan egypt of course is concerned about more than 12 percent of the population who rely on the nile waters for a living so a lot of talks over this issue over how to move forward with the 2 sides seeming to agree that they need to include more people more more international mediation more observers to have a greater role to be able to get this fire moving forward before july before the feeling of the ground if you can run on time in the rainy season. is a casting their ballots are very very coasts parliamentary election the poll is happening 3 months after our son ouattara won a presidential election that was boycotted by the opposition for the 1st time in 10 years the ivorian popular front headed by former president laurent gbagbo is taking part of dozens of his supporters were killed after he protested against were taras
