10:34 am
a long history of instability and military takeovers, the west african nation. our faces political uncertainty after elite soldiers overthrew president of gandhi into a $1010.00 county became the 1st mac radical elected leader in guinea. since its independence from france, him under the constitution to allow him stay in power beyond the term limit and want to turn in a disputed election that move spot widespread protest. and his opponents accused him of veiling twas or italian rule. on sunday, he appeared in a video surrounded by guards after a heavy gun fire was heard near the presidential palace in the capital 293 on soldiers announced on television. the president was detained, then dissolve the constitution and imposed a nationwide curfew. they say that acting in the best interests of the nation. so he just showed up when the personalization of politics of political life is over.
10:35 am
we will no longer entrust politics to a man. we will entrust it to the people who become only for that. it is the duty of a soldier to save the country. the only thing that motivates us is that we are going to put in place a system that does not exist and we must have all the better the system together. could. the move has drawn concern from regional and international leaders. the west african economic block echo us has condemned the takeover and is reckoning sanctions. and the un has called for for con, these immediate release, members of dean as are going cabinet gathered in parliament after being funded by the code. eda nicholas hop. how's ball? some government officials and prime ministers have answered the calls made by the crew leaders and made their way to the people's palace otherwise known as the national assembly. we saw the prime minister under heavy escort going there. the
10:36 am
message was clear from the coop louder is that if the ministers or government officials did not show up to this meeting than they would be seen, it would be seen as an act of rebellion. there would be consequences to that already overnight during the nationwide curfew, several high officials and commanders of the security forces have been arrested. so have been a few of the ministers now. the cool leaders lead by mama, the doom boyar who is the head of guineas special forces. a former french legionnaire says that he has dissolved the constitution, the national assembly, and take it full power in order to restore institutions. that reflects that people during the process of the coup, we saw people taking to the streets in celebration. there's always also the expectations that more than $400.00 political prisoners would be released following
10:37 am
this. who still in the hands of the crew? leaders is former president or president of guinea alpha con day, who is still being held, despite demands from the international community that he be released. nicholas hawk for insight story. gay is a 3rd west african country in 5 months to experience of violent transfer power. in april, the president had food charge for 3 decades was killed while visiting soldiers fighting rebels and replaced by his son. in may, molly's vice president, a rush to the president prime minister defense minister in the 2nd school in lie months. the same month emitter 3 unit, inger made a failed qu, attempt days before the inauguration of the president. but while the number of crews is increasing in some parts of africa, countries such as finnegan and south africa have no history of military takeover.
10:38 am
and gunner has held 7 back to back. elections is 992. ah, let's bring in our gas in casablanca. i'm a guy is journalist, author, and woman, director of information at co us. in accra questioning director of research of the cofi ana, an international peacekeeping training center in up for yes, per beyond. nathan is celia with searcher of the nordic africa institute. welcome to the program. i don't know. what do we know about this national committee of valley and development while we're talking about disgruntled soldiers, mutineers, or officers who said is about time for a real change in guinea. local dis, outcome of rage to life even because the gentleman was supposed to
10:39 am
say, call that he's been candy was the man. yes. believed to me when you brought him 23 years ago or my mama you get it. do you do boys from other people? so there is a really well known get in russia. we are one year ago we sent again a constraint. but this is my body to be. so when you realize that he was going to we side run by can be decided to pass to the next page. so is that huge branch of cornish? we don't like him to be a surprise to us on the you know, right? again. ok, quincy, this seems to be an act of betrayal. i'm
10:40 am
a guy has been saying, but it seems that mother doing boy the crew leader is taking advantage of the growing feminine simmering discontent in guinea where i think i agree with. and emma, but it's not just about the going discontent. it's also a reflection of the disrespect for established rules and cbs relating to command and control related to promotion relating to training. but the quality importantly defend our security force assistance from those who have supported the gimme and government. and again, the military type. i think i'll talk on day and his government also by load the demographics assess or frustration that says screws in a sense or victim hoard and
10:41 am
a sense of disposition. so if you listen to the narrative come in from my mom, you know, moving away from de personalized vision or politics of christian in a new system in which everybody gets involved. as i have said, east pumping into their way into public disaffection. that the people are hostile to by long term, to clearly with respect to his successful attempt at twitching that wants to she and and for him to illegal is the ok. and this is terribly unfortunate. it's painful, but it's just not who leased surprising. it also to please yes, a little dream most of the time is a dignified exit, but does that does not seem to be the case with alpha county. we saw the pictures of him being tied the shovel surrounded by officers and taken into custody.
10:42 am
is he to blame for what, what happened yesterday? well, i would suddenly argue that he bad responsibility for the unfortunate development we've seen in the past 5 years, which is a growing move towards, as you said in the introduction, more authoritarian leadership style the constitutional amendments. last year suddenly was was a step in that direction. so i've been signaling that he would be clinging on to power not just by grabbing him in office, but also by centralizing power around the presidency. so in that sense, i would definitely say that he has a large part of the blame and you can see why the beginning people would be frustrated with that development other than what is fascinating about gain is that most of the time, a soldier, a dictator, would either live from pole the constitution for political gains,
10:43 am
but this is an activist, an opposition leader who understands the very complex political landscape in the west african in west africa. yet he decided last year to trump all the same cars that use and just for him to stay in power in definitely what happened to alpha only convey is just become crazy. he's not the i've known since 1999 to 90. when he was a friend of us in 1st and in the africa when will company for the repetition of. so last year i wrote a piece and i just thought you should leave. you should know that your time is go. you should allow other support or takeover. don't bring your country, you should, you should, you should remember what happened to your close friends. was taken into your house in that room by me that that you for you. and this can happen to know what up and
10:44 am
so on. is not the one renew rule fighting for democracy. if somebody will turn into cross seat or you will no longer waiting for both of them or to get an order for them. or like a young boy who insisting that it will contain meant in, in, in both long as he could remain that you was willing to pay for you. what surrounded by friends from even tony blair became, is economic advisor. converting that say the mind in the beginning of human to manage and the like push nit form of friendship putting up in minutes, but by doing web and then doing the just the election that you did actually work because it was a victory of his men opponent gentle dental dental,
10:45 am
but they were the democratic crusader, let's give him a jump despite the conditions under which he fitted to follow. but unfortunately, and i tried to talk to you when i met you at the african union 4 years ago when you look at the president of the african union. but he literally wanted to read me physically because he just use it. the dummy is in my prison unit, you will see on the edge become a crazy person and i see a point in the reality quickly out. and you don't turn overnight from being a political lead on opposition leader into a dictator. don't you see other elements converging here like influence of international key players, particularly countries interested in the booming mining sector home? i have advised him to stay in power to consider their own financial gaze there.
10:46 am
but i think that it's only possible by their primary challenge. it's what am i have said that we didn't know him any more. this and it's totally african center out, present africa and lead this community else who approved a narrative and, and discourse and the language of the rule of law. respectful human rights practice trans tissues of free media and free elections only to hide and con people to get power when they do that. and i think has demonstrated this and several african leaders there wants to. so then get them out for or lead us to back them to provide the necessary tools of oppression. so that dissent destroyed. people are men dead and people and then undermined stages 2 sheets. so for example,
10:47 am
in giving and i think i have mentioned some names, these are people who will be able to perform and be in the similar biomass in the countries. okay, buddy and colombia aid investments security for assistance in terms of training. mand said in depth, military schools outside and then using these tools to press their own people. let me make this point and make it very clear because i'm trying a mouse. and now gimme a signal has be sent both to the countries and west africa and not to be oppressed then they can see power back on. fortunately, their military interventionists are not the most useful most of the time. and it's supposed to be all right. yes. but what kind of message does the qu in gay
10:48 am
send to the rest of the african countries, particularly in, in west africa? does it increase the appetite of army officers to say, you know, what, why don't we do the same thing? well, i think that has been a trend and it goes back at least 1015 years of a combination of 2 type 2 types of crisis. i think we should think of military coups as a city of another kind of crew which has been happening across not just west africa, but the continent and widely, which is the most constitutional crisis. you haven't conference presidents changing the constitution as well in order to stay in power. and you have a general sort of lack of confidence in the electoral system in many of the continent. i think these things go together in the sense that there is more room for maneuver for military actors to them. claim a role in the political games so to speak. i would also just want to say that i
10:49 am
think the international community part of the responsibility as well. i think it's sort of striking how little consequences that i've been towards the qu macon in, especially in african countries of lays. and i think the thing that the national community is sending is that security is the top priority. as long as countries stay relatively stable on the surface. and both elected leaders and military accidents can get away with quite a lot of abusive power without any real consequence. quasi awning way had a sense about 2 or 3 or 4 years ago that the, the trend of military coups is starting to move downward in africa. and that this could perhaps osher in a new era of pluralism, democracy elections. now this does not seem to be the case anymore. we've seen the
10:50 am
trend moving upwards. i think the optimism of the mid 2000, the optimism of a much more you can see democracy transparency, rule of law, and their respect for human rights. best optimism has been fulfilled. we've got a group of individual also, i've used that narrative and directory of proceed missed. you get power an entry, and am i the same is true. she's by let me tag into what you want me to do. if you're not going to mess now, community to hold these lead, best responsible and accountable. so for example, i mean these, the states have signed on to a lot of instruments by a co and african union. but there has been an inability by dc institutions plus the r p s to hold you your friends accountable
10:51 am
because gimme just did not happen. it was got well incremented out, you rushing off as not freedoms are constitutional, right? and that's just by says, the combination of under my new use now burned by the deliberate much manipulation often shows an electron is to, to she's had in to the frustration that we are seeing. so desert the multiple levels of fear, but mystically actually ok, tennis mfc dash 3, lot of these fearless are not dealt with. we will see at least 2 or 3 more to the task before the end of the year. yes. but what do you think should be next for the african union? they, the african unit itself had
10:52 am
a goal about about silence in the guns put in and to this culture of military coups will be able to put more pressure on the military. john, turn now in canada very well, i think that what we've seen in similar cases. so for example, in the case of modern more recently is that there's only so much you can gain from isolating minnesota regime. i think that's the way for what is definitely through dialogue. and i do think that the african union has a fairly good track record of encouraging dialogue with all in both parties. and i think that must be the road ahead here as well. so rather than threatening sanctions and i some nation only, i think, you know, the african needs to be very proactive. now in sending a delegation gimme involving both the military and wanted to call parties in a, in a broad base dialogue in order to ensure a transition that hopefully will have civilian need or eventually i think that
10:53 am
should also be part of the goal here is to take the military as much out of the equation as possible, as soon as possible. quest, the ways trying most of the time to stay away from drawing general conclusions about what is happening in parts of the african continent. but don't you get a sense that military coups are endemic to the continent since the independence of most of the african countries we've seen, somehow 200 military coups. and this is normal. no start. and i think the case of gamma, authentic out of south africa. swanner of my media of kia are trying to demonstrate that with strong civil societies, with good leadership, increasingly embedded political process and by shared values and shared
10:54 am
that we can be shipped societies away from and debit military them built in democratic is due to she's and processes are the people that can be rebels and they've been, the missile says for situation such as soon ago, they are okay shoes, where the campus issues become fairly december ascendance. you know, when demonstrations do, do take place that route control measures can be quite tough. but about the less sophisticated side, the leadership and the role of the media, we can begin to see a guy was shipped to once a month. you see that logic process and when dibble classes begin to in which have been though the can, i mean situation that says optimism in that as we continue to
10:55 am
dial the head of the coast to new to me. here is a concern. i go to yes. but in the pass code were built against the backdrop of a previous ministry, who so it was an army officer batting against his boss. now you have something different, which is a military coup against established democracy for at least one decade or 2 decades . and when you look at the west africa, you're seeing this path in which is basically military officers taking over in places like molly and you see what happens in body. you have now a new case, a chart, and then you have the failed. coo, inger, and you get a sense that there's something wrong about that part of africa. well, this is a part of africa that is struggling in terms of, of the comic development as well in terms of quite a lot of measures of human development more broadly. so you can see that these are
10:56 am
states under pressure and in many ways that are not just about the weighted state of ministration is structured. but i think that what one lesson that i do from, from the development in money is that even on the civilian who is never far away, the military is always close to power. and that is a problem. the problem is that it is too easy for different segments of the military establishment to sort of decide on their own initiative to draw a line and conduct the crew so, so there's definitely need for some form of reform in many of the military structures. i'm sure that chris is much more sort of knowledgeable about these things that i am, but i think there is a problem with the military being too close to power. and then i also think that, that even in countries that are not in the midst of this kind of kind of upheaval, we need to have more sort of committed conversations to what is happening with
10:57 am
constitutional democracy. because it does seem that there is about a diety around the election, even in stable countries. we've seen it in kenya, for example, that you do have widespread accusations of fraud. you have process, you have violence. so i think there is a deeper conversation to be, have had about the roots of the constitutional democracy. but also of removing the military from you in a circle. the power will have to leave it. that gentleman. yes. the nathan quincy, unfortunately, will not contact with a dumber guy a while ago because of technical problems only looking forward to having you in the near future from walk invitation about different events unfolding in the african continent. and thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website and dot com for further discussion. go to our facebook page that facebook dot com forward slash a james i story. you can also join the conversation on twitter. 100 is
