tension is increasing in chad to the death of this president. as the enters military council is growing more protests and threats from rebel groups so as to build a risk in the north son told african states this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program. tensions have been high in charge since the sudden

death of president idriss deby nearly 2 weeks ago impoverished desert country for 3 decades but was killed why visiting troops fighting rebels darry son was immediately announced as his successor and a military council sets up the moves rejected by the opposition that condemns the army's takeover as a coup and it's since led to more division at least 8 people were killed between protesters and security forces earlier this week civil society groups in charge calling for more protests to demand a return to civilian rule some demonstrators say they want to choose that lead to freely while others accuse fronts of backing the military council against the will of the people i met in the race has the latest from the capital in germany. since the death of president idriss deby they have been attacked by both boko haram and rebels in the north of the country they've also been demonstrations here in the

capital and elsewhere in chad that was violently put down by the security forces resulting in at least a debt france which earlier supported the military takeover for the purpose of continued he was caught weeks to condemn the repression or the violent crackdown by the security forces now says general mohammed says from his father is loved the cabinet he inherited largely intact the parliament which was suspended along with a constitution is also back in session whether or not these moves are enough to placate activists and the opposition as well as international partners of child. for allow the transition process to continue remains to be seen the next few months will be critical now there are real concerns that child which has contributed always contribute thousands of troops to regional peacekeeping operations or fight against i'm groups in this island elected region may be forced to withdraw some of these troops to bring them home if the security situation continues to deteriorate to bolster security at home in france really wants to see this government in place

to allow for continue 80 to father secure these areas it feels that if a child reaches you or remove some of its troops in these areas then a lot of countries in the region most of them francophone countries will be exposed to volunteer tax by these groups will speak to our panel shortly but 1st let's take a closer look at how unrest in chad could affect the region. the country lies in a strategic position across the south and besides the horn of africa militarily is probably the strongest of the g 5 joint force countries to the east is sudan where there's long term instability particularly in darfur that's a conflict debbie was accused of stoking through support for some of tribesman there is also instability in the south in the central african republic one source of nearly half a 1000000 refugees who are living in chad to the west. and nigeria countries facing

armed groups like boko haram and to the north of char there's been a decade of instability in libya the rebel group front for change and concours in chad operates across the border this is the front line where it is debbie was fatally wounded. 4 more this joined by our guest in obvious way to go geo political and security analyst for a free political africa security a think tank a robot no for our board executive director or the nordic center for conflict transformation in london nathaniel powell associate researcher at lancaster university and author of france's wars in chad military intervention and decolonisation in africa warm welcome to your week way the this is a critical moment for charter this is

a moment where people were looking forward to see some sense of wisdom prevailing particularly comes from the ruling council now the military council what happened was totally the opposite and a clamp down on the protestors could this be an indication that they are not willing to to make any compromise in the future. first of all i think we're through god knows that it's the continuity of the day of distracted you and i made the mistrusted legacy of the father by the exactly how the fiber. in operas it gives is rule and the continuation not to son mohammed is already showing the same saint because the here as he has already appointed himself i would support of the military as a guy on top of the transition up process so i think it's what for him is see is this need these opposition figures and their supporters questioning what it's time to do that he said so without or not he would keep it attempted or

be more my liebert to do a chin changes or be more strong strong handed would depend on that international pressure double very very key is shipping these new military council no for do you think that there will be cared about in international pressure in the near future when. much of the statements that we've seen so far from the french from the african you have not really been that strong when it comes to the interim council exactly where the chant is known as being a country with a history of many many coups and upright ends of the populations and when we see for example the way france and present my comment came during the funeral basically a war we are not the place for. madmen at their peak.

shows actually that is something behind it and the idea behind it is to support the status got that exists in the country from a security perspective however this comes against the people of the web. looking for more democratic. and changes in terms of human rights and we know that he himself came. to replace a form of the gator which is. it said how great we do hope that a change toward democratic situation will occur what we have seen we have seen women and men in the streets protesting against the way the transition has been made with the announcement of the military council that power which shipped to the sound to be junior why don't people do in the elections which went on the news from where they were hoping for some kind of change which

need don't see out of ok nathaniel i don't get that the african union was strong i don't think france was strong unfortunately they're supporting that supporting something that completely goes against the constitution of chad ok which normally should be in power if the president of noticed they took the family nathaniel how do you see this particular characterization coming from many western countries they african union itself following the death of. this is someone who has been pivotal in the fight against armed groups there's a sense that a continuation is good for chad good for the region nobody seems to care about the people have been oppressed for decades. that's a very fair general and fair assessment so the view from paris and to a lesser extent the united states but also i should say from regional capitals as well also in mali. but also in nigeria is that

whatever whatever need aspect the transition may have on the you live sort of every day champions and on the democratic prospects for the future of chad what is most important for outside intervenors and particularly france is the kind of stability that chad and its military are supposed to. provide the region in the form of charity in troops that fight alongside the french and. the 5 star health forces in mali and asia in between if i so against united groups and also their contribution to nigeria's weighed against book of around and cameron various book around and really cherish and so from the perspective of outside interveners there are far less concerned about the prospects for democracy in chad than they are for the contributions of their views regime and its successor to regional security policy i think way now against the backdrop of the uncertainty and the deadlock in the opposition and civil society leaders have stepped in and the other ones who are the

forefront or the fight against the enter military council what they achieve we alist a cli. from a perfect us standpoint we mourned it people in the pressure from we didn't chat the more likely the new to come so we stick to the 18 months transitional period because once one's mama senses the lack of momentum if he has any in spirit or any united in that to extend the transition appeared he will because it all depends on internet pressure because when the people accept and feel ok this is business as usual ledgers go about our normal 8 then there will be no internet not pretty but it is international pressure that creates the. needs the da curious to shoot on for and here is heavy handed response from the military council and the head behind

a response course course is more international pressure so we have to know how it is very important that people in chad civil society their position to lead us continue to protest and call for you know the return to democratic democracy and real democracy dissent not the one under it is there because we didn't do more to do that the more people in the international community would know that everything is not walking chad and then if the government if the military government does respond in this heavy handed manner that create that we lose political capital you lose it. and this is really the promote the course point on the military junta to continue beyond this look at it it's emotes know filed there's a sense of deja vu here because there mr counsel says it's going to stay for 18 months 12 to 18 months and there's going to step aside but this debbie himself when he came to buy 9090 he said exactly the same 10 set thing and they said has not

been a run for any other term just for him to stay in power for 30 years exactly that's a decision. and what we have seen when people went out on the streets they they no doubt they felt that this is another risk that the probably going to go or another 30 years the same way they went through before we'll get. this debate it's going to be the same think that is why they're taking a risk and that interest to go out in the streets who are to protest against the military and the rules knowing that. before in 2008 it was a similar think people went out to the streets and there was that massive crackdown against the populations in chat this is a devil and the main thing that you know the military has to understand and the international community support in. the start is go. ahead deb to understand the state military is supported from the base not from the top and this is becoming

even more concerning no wonder your modest up around the terrorist groups and how they functions experiment in africa they use what i call the marriage of convenience and they infiltrate within it within rebels and insurgents inside each country and there and you know these support support there and don't have names and they use terrorist attacks or what is happening so what is very important to note that there are chad and they're coming down from libya are now coming inside the country so it's very concerning ok nathaniel this seems to be a standard african dilemma in a way or another vibrant opposition people who are desperate for a genuine change whether they are maneuvered of numbers by a political elite which has cash weapons affiliations and the backing of the international community ultimately they are the ones who will prevail. that's

a potential fears potential outcome and i get i don't think it's an african phenomenon i think it's something that occurs throughout the planet where you have major global powers global sense is up to the united states but in much of africa often it's france that supports a political status quo on the assumption that this will benefit regional stability which is a much higher political priority for international tribunal is then domestic kind of democratic governance and what is often the case and historically has been the case is that authoritarian forms of government supported by the outside end up generating the kinds of instability that this kind of support was meant to stop in the 1st place so i think you're seeing this potential in chad right now france back to be for 30 years and they don't have a plan b. in case things go south and that is very potentially what could happen of it where this is the biggest problem with the opposition in chad they have never been able to get their act together choose a name that could rally all the people behind him could they replicate the same disaster this time when they have the sympathy of the international community

however so far there is no alternative to mohamed a disturbing. just to just to even the point from i speak out just making the 10 with with the opposition on the then i'm a cinch in charge at that we're afghanistan yes we are listening the french explanation is start really it's not a study that says this is part of big brother do political game france is playing in the. libya all all of what west africa well look we're looking at france continuity in office clooney influence on that prestige that's why continues to pour see you in a very same group over the leadership of all of these african countries were simpler to sing in mali asking for less french influence of idea lives the same thing with all across and even even in in chad if you have some way to protest that

they were interviewed there were also mention the name of front so france africa is something that goes beyond stability we're looking at real political and jewish control and even decision in libya is not is not disputed from the it was happening in chad to the to be very naive for anyone to think that france's insistence on continuity is only bus stop beat no it's not if they call it it is an extension of the way it wants to run and see the west africa but going back to your question on the opposition the opposition faces really put diplomatic challenges on difficulties because you have the african union. commission's chairman. is from chad and he was the former prime minister and ages there be you disloyal response from defra going only condemning the image it took over you it's how it has been carried into that relationship because it definitely very very

cautious because of the death did actually. you know and then you have a region our countries you know we're looking at named you are coming through need new jersey they are cautious us we're so the problem with your position which i did that i did like international support ok to the fuck man do i would not stand up to my mother. did this is. because it knows that if you support for troops milo would not because. i see your point from child. thinking so that's a problem that was don't fit what is interesting not diplomatic what is interesting this time no file is we have 2 very young leaders with the potential to shape the future of chat mohammad this debbie who is now the leader of the military junta and at the same time you have 6 a muslim who is

a young vibrant opposition figure who can electrify the people and has mass message seems to resonate among many many charge against who do you think will be the key player in deciding who should take over internal or foreign diplomacy. of course in terms of foreign diplomacy do you want this artist's got to continue which favors the family it is but in terms of the restated its he and the real support that the chance would have there would it look for the head of the rebels and protest services to back him up because he brings hope it brings hope of change in terms not only on the political aspect of geopolitical aspect but especially in terms of this is the economy situation of people we don't have to forget that in chad you know there are were discovered in the south and it's very

small and flowing through come iran and it's very small portion or negotiate nobody that benefits from that in get eyes of the young people and a new generation in chad they need that what resonates with don't it's not the ability by. the other panelists mention it but also in terms of change genuine change what he did this is give you that opportunity is that in chat you have an african african solution to broken awfully nathanial at the same time there's another key player whose life has always been shrouded in secrecy and missing her mad mad alley the leader of the rebel group fact we know that has been in exile since the sixty's and sixty's he joined the socialist movement in france than and he murdered now in the dust of the desert of northern china to become the man who potentially could take over in germany or do you see him someone who could run it

a challenge years behind him. so it's unclear what kind of popular support base he actually has so his movement the fact has some constituency more than shared among among some of the 2 people who are injured but the extent to which it's popular and strongly support is an open question. movement's initial goal which was to overthrow derry was certainly probably supported in its you know in its generality by by many many chatty and but movements communiques have always been kind of very good terms with the action of the looking to achieve so it's unclear whether he would have actually been any different or would be any different than debbie in terms the ways will change as a long history of rebels that take power using language of democratization and revolution and end up kind of governing the way to predecessors and this is exactly what is sad about africa in particular the same case of it way which is the case we're talking about muhammad ali who comes from the gutter and try. is now

seen as the enemy number one of $100.00. comes from the zahara and we seem to be neglecting other minorities like there are in a way or another a key component of the child. community but we have to have been for more than 4 decades sidelined by the mainstream political establishment. yes that that's that's there's a problem with we see in the news is societies with little of that city at them at the ethnicity but we beauty of democracies true democrats and democrats in spirit and practice will always have a message in that everybody would can identify with that is beyond ethnic or really a religious divides and to go to the point of the it would we rebels when you want on rivers rebel young you really want to start because of setting brave young

sisters and then those give us our lives be there are certain identities that exclude others in deciduous shouldn't what mohammad ali the you look at them a young very bluntly that that is not looking for air power too far that is an ethnic. identity then you have someone that can really reach into a more democratic and a more for progressive country because many of the super soaker security issues that age is there because prison for a 100 was caused by the lack of poor governance and you know development in the country in the 1st list ok when we talk about getting reported to good development we have to look at real people who favor democracy or what in practice not just in words money no for very briefly if you don't mind what does this leave france the country which has put all its political weight behind that is that he and now his

son and the hermit that he. yeah i mean what's happening in chad you know there is there is a need to be work at the base of the societies the way we are looking at it now from let's respect it if you try to address the crisis address in a crisis and it's our standing will or for bring in normalcy in an attorney or shouldn't the french be concerned at this particular moment because they might just be seem as the pitch awaiting the agony of the africans yes clearly a risk they could say you can observe is not to call to a kind of broader political liberalization or are this a 1000000000 ization of religion but i think the french have to french from their perspective are weighing the risks of the kind of resentment that generates with their broader security aims which it which democratization is certainly low down the list of priorities. apparently this is one of the unfortunate things about politics which is we have to wait for what the others have to say and decide when
