a long history of instability and minutes. we take overs, the west african nation. our faces political uncertainty after elite soldiers overthrew the president of gandhi into a $1010.00 county became the 1st mac radically elected leader in guinea. since if independence from france, hey amanda, the constitution to allow him stay in power beyond the to term limits and want to turn in a disputed election that move spot widespread protest. and his opponents accused him of veiling. twas of italian rule. on sunday, he appeared in a video surrounded by gaz. off the 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 on the bus nice ation of politics of political life is over. 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. to 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 alpha con. these immediate release members of gene as are going cabinet gathered in parliament after being funded by the could 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 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 also the expectations that more than $400.00 political prisoners would be released following 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. guinea is a 3rd west african country in 5 months to experience a 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, arrest of 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, synagogue and south africa have no history of military takeover. and gunner has

held 7 back to back elections in 1992. ah, let me bring in our gas in casablanca. i've done a guy is journalist, author, and woman, director of information at co us. in accra questioning, director of research, the cofi, an international peacekeeping training center in up for yes per beyond. nathan is celia the searcher of the nordic africa institute. welcome to the program. other now, what do we know about this national committee of valley and development? while we're talking about disgruntled soldiers, mutineers, or officers who studies about time for a real change in guinea, local dis, outcome of rage to raise to life even because the gentleman was 1st to

say, call that he's been candy was the man yet believed to me when you brought him 23 years ago, or my mama, you get it. do you do boy? from other people. so there is a really, when the no, no get in russia we are one year ago we sent again a constraint. but didn't use my body to be so when you realize that he was going to be side run by, can be decided to pass to the next page and make the go. so is the brands are for we don't like him to be a surprise to you know, somebody didn't like again. ok, quincy, this seems to be an act of betrayal. i'm a guy has been saying,

but it seems that mother don't. boy, the qu, 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 procedures relating to command and control related to promotion relating to training. but the quality importantly defense of security for assistance from those who have supported the gimme and government. and again the military type. i think i'll talk on the end, his government also overlooked the demographics that says so frustration that says screws in a sense or victim hoard and

a sense of disposition. so if you listen to the narrative come in from my mom, you know, moving away from day personalization, the politics of creating him, a new system in which everybody gets involved. as i have said, he's copping into their way into public disaffection. that the people are hostile to buy long term, particularly with respect to his successful attempt at twitching that wants to sion and for him to illegal is the again power. this is terribly unfortunate. it's painful, but to just not who leased surprising. it also took place. yes. for 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 tie the shovel surrounded by officers and taken

into custody. is he to blame for what? what happened yesterday? well, i would certainly 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 storage area and need to ship style. the constitutional amendments last year suddenly was a step in that direction. so of our conduct been signaling that he would be clinging onto 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 the development other than what is fascinating about getting is that most of the time a soldier, a dictator, would either live from call the constitution for political gains,

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 for the same constitution just for him to stay empower indefinitely. 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 we will company for the repetition of . so last year i wrote a piece and i said, you should leave. you should know that your time is go. you should allow other support or takeover. don't bring your country to you should you should, you should remember what happened to your close friends. was taken into your house in that room. i needed that for you and just going to happen to know if it went up

and so on. is not the one renew, will 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 wisdom, or like a young boy who insisted that he would containment in, in, in bo, long as he could remain, that you was willing to pay for what surrounded by friends from even tony blair became, is the economy advisor, converting the mind in the beginning of human to manage and the like of cushioning form of friendship, putting up as minutes but by doing web and then doing up the election that you did actually work because it was a victory of his men opponent to settle down in general. but i would

democrat the 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 he was the president of the african union. but they literally wanted to read me physically because he said, you said the dummy in my prison unit, you will see on the edge become a crazy person. and i see a point in the reality quickly. 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, whom i have advised him to stay in power to consider de their own financial gaze

there. but i think that it's only possible by the primary challenge is what i've said, but we didn't know him anymore. this and it's totally set out present africa lee, this our community else who framed and narrative ended discourse and the language of the rule of law. respectful human rights of the practice trans tissues of, 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 that demonstrated. so then get it turned out for our lead as to back them to provide the necessary tools of oppression. so that descent a destroyed people are men dead and people and then and our minds to just to shifts

. so for example, in jimmy and i think adam, i have mentioned some moves, these are people who will not be able to perform and be in a similar manner in the countries. okay, by the end, the columbia gave investments security for us response in terms of trimming meant something military schools outside and then using these tools to press their own people. let me make this point then 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 the oppressed. the config power back on. fortunately, the 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 crew in gain

a send to the rest of the african countries, particularly in the way 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 symptom 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 company, 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 parts 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

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 is especially in african countries of late. 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, also in a new era of pluralism, democracy elections. now this does not seem to be the case anymore. we've seen the

trend moving upwards what i think the optimism of the mid 2000, the optimism of a much more inclusive democracy, transparency, rule of law, respectful, 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 my decision is to 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 onto 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

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 of shows. an electron is to shoot up tabs in to the frustration that we are seeing. so desert the multiple levels of fear domestically certainly. 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 to go about about silence in the guns put in and

to this culture of military coups. would it 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, a nice a nation only. i think, you know, the african needs to be very proactive. now i am sending a delegation gimme, involving both the military and political 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

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 guy, man, authentic out of south africa, about swanner, of my media of care are trying to demonstrate that with strong civil society. with good leadership, increasingly embedded political process and by shared values and shared norms

that we can be shipped societies away from and debit military them built in democratic use to to she's and processes added to all that can be rebel south. and even the missile stressful situation, such as soon ago, they are okay shoes, where the composition become fairly december ascendance. when demonstrations do, do take place their route control measures can be quite tough, but about the less sophisticated side believe that's it. and then the rule of the media we can begin to see was shipped to once you receive that logic process. and when dibble classes begin to in which you've been doing the kind of situation that says optimism in that as we continue

to dial the head of the coast to new to me. here is a concern. i'm going to go to yes. 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

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 the development in money is that even on the civilian, the military 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

constitutional democracy. because it does seem that there is about a wrong 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 to be had about the roots of the constitutional democracy. but also of removing the military from you in a circle of 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 of efficient about different events unfolding in the african continent. and thank you for watching. you can see the program again anytime 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

a james nicely for me. how about and the entire team here in the bye for now the i lose that amber and russian close in parliamentary election in the president. putin 21 year grip on power. the listening post dissects the media how they operate, the stories they cover. and the reason why the 911, the top of the world,

20 years on the war that followed had finally ended and i've gone to sun. but that's what caught, this didn't real, obviously, unique, attractive on ask and help you and history through the eyes of the fearless and vision refill makers. germany goes to the poles and elections of the angular merkel replace up to 15 years in power. what will the result mean for germany and european union? september on al jazeera, take the worst possible material you radio, grind it into dust comparable to flour, and make a whole lot of it, and put it into the face with people live. in the line. for many people, this is a silent. what does it make you feel like you feel like a murder? we have created an enormous amount of mental disaster and investigation, south africa, toxic city on al jazeera. how many nukes is too many new america has

in many ways driven the arms race parties are much more like the british parties down to the there are fewer regulations to own a tiger than their our own a dog. how can this be happening? your weekly take on us politics and i see and that's the bottom line. ah hello, i'm having a speaker in the, the top stories on our agenda, the u. s. and cutoffs they, they won cobble airport to be open for international passenger flights. in the coming days, they say to century, to keep up humanitarian a to afghanistan and to help people leave situations for so many afghans, stark. and we're determined with the international community to continue to provide humanitarian assistance to the afghan people. and we can and will.
