and collective work orders us to work together consolidating the fundamentals and not destroying them to look for new york nothing is more important than the preservation of keeping the soul of the senegalese nation in. the. mobilization must be maintained it must even be much larger but it must above all be peaceful it must be peaceful today the people have regained the rights that macky sall confiscated 9 years ago at the demonstration the people have taken it back by force we must not lose this right so who is known song cope well formally he's a tax inspector who found it is own political party in 2014 he rose to prominence after releasing documents he said exposed political corruption and marcie cells governing alliance sankoh has drawn support from young voters and finished 3rd in the print 21000 presidential election with a little more than 15 percent and he's criticize senegal's relationship with his

present like you sound says he's heard this call he's appealing to try to resolve those deep grievances he says those arguing cue the coronavirus pandemic and the fallout the economic fallout of the current of ours and never could actually called for debt relief in order to tackle the economic crisis meanwhile we spend some go says this is the beginning of a movement of what he calls a revolution and ahead of the presidential election of 2024 but we suspect more protests to come in the days to come nicholas hark. inside story. ok let's get going let's bring in our guests today joining us all from the senegalese capital dhaka we have a minotaur formally a prime minister of senegal yaseen fallen economist and founding member of the movement for the defense of democracy and. francophone west africa research at

amnesty international a warm welcome to you all yes even fall from the opposition's stands this country senegal used to be the high water mark of stable democracy in west africa what changed and why change is a. factor. in the crossroads. we are at the crossroads because we have right now a president who. is trying to set the stage for. ringback presidents and this is for 20 elections i'm probably $24.00 but the president has repeatedly said that he will reduce a position its minimum level of existence the president has had also a practice of regularly and this is the 3rd time and the mining is

a parliament using the courts to the point where the opponent is not able to run for elections the 3rd thing is we have seen a situation of really you know political. harassment of civil society populist activist and. a political leaders 'd we have also seen but have had liberties because before you know we have no way i live you know demonstrate peacefully. in the streets this president was able to be elected because there was a big social movement against iran. who and that's actually what was given the enabling conditions to demonstrate to your group do you really i mean if i were a little invent the parliament when

a bank was granted what. can i mean etc yes national just let me put those points to a minister to read the former prime minister mystery as a journal of wreck or what yaseen file is saying there is factually correct the 3 significant opposition leaders who have stood against the incumbent recently have all been in effect airbrushed out of the process by a use by somebody or some people of the legal system. well let me just maybe speak today to decide to ration right now and you know make great think you know answer to it to the yes in. and activists and the great settlement great defender and rights defender ringback. i do think back to the situation as we speak i mean is it is is concerning that's for sure if you see rep happen son of god as

you said is known as you know a great example in africa of stable democracy so how did we get here how did we get here so i think it's a it's a it's a bit it's a very important question obviously and i have to have said that when i was in position government position the issue of to is way behind us i mean this is something that we don't expect anybody to to discuss about for me it means betty very clear and i said it 7 times. and the president himself said it in the past so i expect that in 2024 you know we've been have a it's an election that was on the kind of president that's and that's my hope but what happened is that to have a yes or a could be impacted yeah. you know economy the country

you know took a turn into a hit and as you know we do have a economy that is 80 percent in samarra and that's where you are the young people you know get some earnings being in shops in small trading and sort of yet of how do you feel of course they got terribly impacted ok some of them tried to do in europe you know ice under people died so decided to the frustration of not being sure about democratic. future that's for sure ok we will return to covert i'm sure in the next 30 minutes or so what's been the yellow from a human rights point of view amnesty is saying it is troubled by what's going on in senegal that's an understatement surely because it's not just happening in dhaka it is happening in other locations as well. it is happening in the ocean white indeed

and that as of today we have. seen that 12 people lost their lives in the context of the protest since last wednesday when the opposition need it was months on call welfarist but this is not the only. human rights violations that after 2 months have looked mental parts. at the act against press freedom such as a suspension for 72 hours of 2 t.v. stations that were commenting lines proposed on wednesday and serious knowing an hour or so are different terms to internet access and to do social mission ops on friday that was that you meant that by. internet activity such as networks consortia and so those are all very concerning and said i got it specially in the quran and texts when i was rightly pointed out by my jewel cooper that is a question of. terror can be dismissed that has been an idjit to be

a project by the incumbent presidents have been hovering over. the scene in the for it's going to arena and they're actually were calling for the government investigations into the circumstances in which people lost their rights we have seen that there many of them lost their lives when their security forces used force why policing the protest which is also very concerning and now we are quoting nationally or parties to the restaurant in the current context of could be 1000 but saved by the foreign minister i mean it's quite a shame because it could be 1000 that has been has taken a very big shit in the interim one sector and the diseases of progress are not only due to the i rest of the opposition leader but that there has been a lingering. on the line discussion in senegal in front of. night in our bard's innocent city of some of the measures that were taken by the government ok

well that's ok you're going to go just let me go to gesine fell for the opposition again mr song co has a reputation of being able to galvanize the young given that the president is showing no sign of backing down is it wise of him to carry on trying to do that particularly seeing as how the elections are in theory a relatively long way away 2024 well right now i think that is the sump or we have a platform of our your what we are demanding the government to do. really i mean yes it is of course i think that the big 19 is is over one of the factors being worked at 19 there was a very high priest poverty incentive that increase economic discrimination into this magnetization you see the fact. because we have seen. if you know last

in the some huge flags in the from the government the great and long time as usually it has been a long several several days for the reps who visit families who have lost everything. and we recently saw also the old hundreds of young people who had been . you know really who got in there in the ocean or in the desert trying to get out who look for another you know i mean most of what and then i go back to the government the president was silent on that he didn't even give me you know i mean people when they offered you know for the for the best and you know what he did a pragmatic that in place. so i think at this point there has been a series of factors that have been greatly increased validation of economic and social rights being accessed the workplace being the length of grabbing that hit.

which people in what people you know related to the government but also i think that what we hear people saying is that young people. may see a lack of hope in the political agenda in the economic proposals that mr sample is proposing to them no one can deny that no one can just say that this is simply about poverty because we have had similar to and out the way real of you have seen really increased poverty increase actual magnetization understood at once media analyst you've already touched on this point or sman it's not just about covert 98 it is it it's also about the coded curfew that they put in place telling people they had to be off the streets by 9 pm it's about the tax breaks to french companies like to and it's about tax breaks to the chinese the chinese government is in a hole to senegal worth $1600000000.00 and yet people are still living in poverty

so the economy is doing well on the one hand but people aren't seeing the benefits of that on the other hand. yes that that is exactly as a point because many of your urbanized have population are in senegal do not see the benefits of economy growth of some last few yesterday one of the protesters gave a very in account and insight for a speech about his reasons to protest he say basically that he is a graduate of the university but the promises of social mobility that it is that some tickets the kids and i go when people once it's rosy education system can get . higher and higher university problems do not exist anymore and so he said he wants the most incentives that after i get my high school degree i tried to get into. a training school but i did not have any means in order to pay my fees and

that's why i am demonstrating so and i think that is goals is very. relevant to it for rings a bell in many quarters in senegal we see many people have that sees the economic growth and the growing disparity between the haves and the have nots and so they go out and try to that they have master's degree. load agrees that in their very. important academic disciplines but they cannot have. jobs that could give them a different leaving someone and that is a very concerning issue and i think yesterday the president in his speech in which he say that he was going to. do the timing of the curfew which would not start anymore at 90 m. but at midnight and at 5 yeah but a lot of emphasis on the social programs that he in that over the 1st 3 years so

much of the 4 foscari does not which have been very much criticised for are not reaching is the right companies and they are but i just let me move the conversation around. let's go back to your sinful mr song co is undoubtedly a populist his movement is populist but he has to go beyond that surely he has to come up with policies so what are his actual policies to get the country turned around economically and i do not agree with you know this name of populist populous i think mr sample has has written 'd 2 books one of the books is called solutions in greece he is laying out how the the progressive economic agenda can be really you know develops in a god but also in the in a in the development of his that has growth but distributed growth that would

enable. really you know a social infrastructure to be built but i mean enable a domestic back affected to thrive that will also enable back machine weaver you know countries and development agencies and international private sector that is really respect respect spectacle of the rights of the senegalese but they view the entries of senegalese citizens 1st so i think he has also another book about do you really natural resources in particular all of the natural resources and the rest and how you know it's natural this was in senegal is endowed with great help as good as in the past really in. so so so yes maybe because he's english but if you could share with you we have developed a program that is a program that is really thorough during the election that was practical for the

1st time here was a development program but a candidate that has completely explain how it's going. to come. that. it's feet but it's not you know not beyond that you know in a development ok and not a jury as far as mackey sal is concerned can he continue to underpin his existence as the incumbent by this idea that he may want to reheat the idea of going for a 3rd term he he went there in 2016 it wasn't received very well and we don't have any guarantees that he won't try it again well let me tell you that i'm not speaking on his behalf to begin with i said that my hope is that if he's not going to run he doesn't have to run he has to go and i mean that is one

in peace and make sure that it take into consideration the demand from the u.s. because i think that the challenge that we are facing and they sound economic an economic plan is used to that will generate doubts because one of the the desperation of young people taking to see or taking the streets is that they don't have even though some of them might be better educated that's that's the bottom line that's what he has to the sun by making sure that he can support and promote national production as son of god just you know dependent in many ways and that we have to make sure that industrialized the country that you can generate jobs that you add value to natural resources especially agriculture i think this are you know that challenge is that you face and he has to find sound solution with

a good expert is because another another talent that he faces and has to make sure that in the coming days in the coming weeks that come with a team that's able to show. a son program that will ringback address the needs of young people not globally not and in lots but with concrete programs at the field level you're going to ask me where he got to find the money i think he has to hook into the u.s. budget and couple 100 luxury and you know expenditures and reallocate them to program that that sound and that out of europe creating. programs for young people so it is time for him for that 3 years left for him to sort of even clear answer the young people ok in just let me just let me as he had towards the end of the program i mean it's already just let me go back to it was monday. when it comes to people stepping back from where we are at the moment there

are voices in dakar saying that the entire country is on the precipice of something much more dangerous than we've seen so far few voices are saying let's take the temperature out of that one of the voices is the muslim brotherhood but nobody's listening yet in the opinion of amnesty why is that no i understand because i think this is beyond the mandate of amnesty international but just to add to give you a few points i think you're absolutely right as a number of casualties local casualties that we have seen over the past few days if almost equal to the number of casualties we have witnessed during these out on face or down protest of 2011 in 2012 so in about in a span of 5 days we have seen as much casualties as much people dying during the process as people died between june 2011 and strip you're a tough and that health care a lot of people and now we have seen

a lot of mediations i think it's let's wait yeah members but also by members of the air religious brotherhood stu seneca will have mediated between. i don't really if florence i rest of those months on form and state yes but i was sore since then since this weekend and i think it is due to be special that. for both parties as much as those months on who i think it might be so made public speeches that they are calling for restraint and then something i'm going to push you therefore to apologize in the last 30 seconds of the program to you yaseen fall super briefly the military are on the streets as we're having this conversation on the streets up to and around the presidential palace is that the reality the president still thinks what we're seeing right now in real time may go either way where we have very clear sent through because we think that you know. should not be egg cannot be

who i am forced by you know forces and the right that is saying something in 111 way after last night but by what b.s. seeing in the freely they will ring in the am person back we are at war where the young people at requesting what their right to leave isn't live in have employment and be some improvement there is a big it's going to be so we admins them to be and united nation and go ask a broke one of the government allowed we could do would be much face and peacefully and to fight over the word of iraq ok. conversation on that thought provoking point thank you to our guests they were going to tory was mondello and yaseen fallon thank you 2 for your company you can see the show again via the website al-jazeera dot com and for more discussion goes where facebook page facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story can also join the conversation of course on twitter handle is at 80 inside story for me peter told me and everyone on the team here in doha thanks for
