france in west africa and what protests to say is the flawed relationship between french armed forces and their african allies. 2 people were killed and others injured in the shower last month when protest is tried to block a military supply convoy of more than a 100 vehicles on its way to molly french, antony, jerry and forces are used force to break free from the hundreds of protests ers processed organizes complained that local troops are under equipped center, suffering. disproportionate losses compared to their french allies, infrequent attacks by arms, groups protest to say those groups are often linked to i saw and al qaeda could continue to operates. despite years of french military operations, requires environmental portion. this is the 3rd road block. we've crossed the students look angry, despite repeated requests to calm down and disperse a bill of us. we wanted to leave the base in the morning,

but we were held up by demonstrators who waiting for us on the road. we managed to push them back at 1st with the hopeful to maintain in order using grenades, defensive grenades, smoke and tear gas. and we managed to advance little by little and before leaving for nature, similar scenes in berkeley in a facile were hundreds of protests trying to block. the same con boy were met with tear gas and force since then protested anger and spun the worsening violence. plans groups of demanded the resignation of president rock cavalry is promised and what he calls this function within the military 3 soldiers were killed in the latest attack in burkina. faso late last month will begin our discussion in just a moment at 1st. let's see where things are happening. dozens of arms groups operates mostly in the boarder regence of the sahara, thus between molly, in the west, the share in the east and brocade of fossil to the south 100. so civilians have

been killed there during the past year alone. in 2014 france reinforced its military presence in the region by launching operations back can. thousands of french troops were sentence only camps resets of around the hail. to combat on groups linked to iso and arcadia, they often attack french convoys carrying with cognizance missions and supply runs as well as the local african forces, which support francis campaign. the local forces have suffered most of their losses in those attacks. ah, well, let's bring in our gas jet her long as the senior research fellow at the global policy institute, and he joins us from san melo in france. and from casablanca, in morocco is adama gay. he's a political common faces specializing in the hell and west africa. first the,

let's talk to us or tim tory, he's a member of the coalition of the african patriots of mccain. affonso and he joins us now on the line for me was good to go. good to have you with those asset t, and sorry, i understand that you're protesting the french presence in the saw how region just explained to us why. why are you protesting against frances military presence in burkina faso evolve, evolve. let me come back in and be in decide this as a fact was that that fits in. busy but it's not possible it's. busy just been that it's. busy not about it, not please don't publish it. that is many on the war series. and this, the iran,

our company name is on the home and they live right every day. and i'm sorry to jump in, you talk about her life is hard. there is no foods, and there is a threat of violence. do you think the french military is, is helping a tall young, the young people. but also i've decided the lights are fine. should minutes are equal. we know many, many, many, many times the not to do with 13 and let the people to less if we could get chilly non and that is the 1st. i mean it's hard to put that into right. the

1st and the right. like the young people are not the, not every for them. if you out here to finish on with that population, if it is up, was that the for any booking up us, all we are not agree with that that's. that's why you decide to that. but that with the new lists it comes from the wall. not many miles and go okay. okay. a 30 am tory, thank you so much for joining us on the program and it's good to hear from you in the region. why this is such a tense issue? let me bring in our guests in the studio. we've heard from the protest her jack, her alone, that the they have a hard life in burkina faso. and they don't feel that the soldiers are protecting

the people who are struggling without food. so struggling with violence every day. instead, the french soldiers are protecting their own interests. i respond to that. yeah, we know it's a feeling that being simmering for quite a while. even in the valley where france was 1st seen as the savior, and i seen as an invader because the local population roy is or is spite of the strong military presence, frost, with 5000 soldiers and actions against these group in the region. it hasn't stopped terrorist attacks and we so if need be okay enough, i saw 57 people were killed just a couple of 50 free of damage shot down just a couple of days before the french troops were going through the country on their

way to the show so which, which they did it away. the demonstration had a decision to stop the convoy and his stood up. france is as been fighting this endless war without any apparent results. ad we know that the military school or the reads every level of obtaining some results, but not enough because attacks of increased the last few years, the global war on terrorism has succeeded. but we know so that in this part of the world, the dissolution of problems will not be military. it would be political and social as we know that even decide and the role of program sorted population, problem displacement at docs disease. so troth try to have is seen in spite of that i think is it, well?

well, he was fans trying to help if my point because you said you've got yourself, the francis. there's that, you know, these things don't work and yet they've been there for 8 years. who's trying find trying to help here. at 1st, the idea was to come to the rescue where they were asked for by the magic government of the time. you, brian, i'd be k data and it was to france, intervene as a result of the on demand. because if for debt the judge is group which had evaded, she had taken control of the nor we're moving towards by macro dead. the argument for continued french presence and an increase in the french presented the area was the fear that there will be some kind of side eastern endure region like up garrison with all the stories. brooks in the countries of side,

which would in turn be dangerous for fraud, says received when you suddenly state to go over the iraq and syria led to, to reset tax in france. but a long shot you do come and go from there. so that was this fear, but of to now we haven't seen any attempts on european, all french, so emanating from groups present in the, in africa. so why is browser for was good? go to describe law now trying to find a sort of should by good operating with the 5 countries of just we know the more return ya each facility gather g 5. but the local army is not equipped. where do you know of and there are problems in my lead me. ok. and

let me just here yet it's, it's a, it's a very troubled campaign and it's a very long campaign. adama gay. you have been watching this region for a very long time. was had 8 years of a french military presence in your opinion, has operation. well, operations service operation bar can seem to be opperation something else. this has been a failure. yes. sufficient. it is fate. and it is not surprising if you fancy a military experience, not just in africa, but even in europe and asia, and also enough friends feed it now in $195450.00 invo was a nanny. see if you do by the phone and you've got national,

it lost the 2 world war 1st one. and 2nd one is that, you know, 5, well let's go, let's focus on the router. yes, let's focus on this particular conflicts. because when we need to bring the contents of cancer is trying to pretend as being able to help them with. and he's innovation. you got your take rhonda, you know, before we leave a 2011 a as in feminist. and now he's trying to use a year with a real issue or because in order to start to present as a new career that he's in an african can be at least i

got liver human to do it for you. so the french ever be the problem that they seen as, depending day in just people are so a might be the earliest giving us or so they are trying to a, that is seen as a region that rich will not grow resources. ok, good. we discover and also with france as not be able to address the issue and the other challenges to monitor should so be a problem in district and in the leadership article, beauty, but france is there just in order to form some areas order, ordered issue under his control, that's the problem. i think the angry and the all the also it is

and it won't go up and it goes from ok. jack, are alone. i saw you shaking your heads through much of a case analysis there. yeah. what, what, what, where do you think is the problem? because we hear the point of view. this is frances, there to reinforce it is old imperial reach or whatever. but is the problem. i put it to you, jack for a loan that the, the mission hasn't been clearly defined. and francis mission in the somehow region has been one of simply containing a problem where it is rather than trying to fix it. you know, i said in cerebral solution, i don't want to go back to the failures of the french all me over the centuries, but, but has been a failure. has this been a failure that has be the effect or lack or was and there was an iraqi to get he

still consider. yeah. i know. we know it's a failure. we know it doesn't work. so what can be dog? dep from a is not accused of being but neil, back to the excursion, your power is accused of being detroit and also the western interest for the mineral resources in that region may be, may be, does the case, but does not the just the west was an interesting that richard was interesting that when he talked about money that no, but the problem with money is that the warm terrorism death, as of the improved a lot of the population, especially in don't know of and box of the region. and that is that the failure of the french army maybe in part, but it could be $2.00. so to the fed of the government to produce public

services in that part of the world at many into norfolk chad, feel that they are both protected by judges, grew all nationalities to our groups which, which provided origin. so as at the same dot in you were just going to after school at a see me going to a president and sugar bega. the prime minister, i've been making an attempt to discourse of all previous speaker saying that maybe russia would be better to head to fight. but sarah, maybe that's a bit of a stake because the wagner's group that my lease quarter is talking with as not been very successful. georgia, i realize it's prompted during the program or so it's frances innovation attack to

kind of feel which opened or can of worms into which that is a fact that's frosty is responsibility, but it was suck was these were supposed to do it was a or we decided to intervene, it was michael, kept on the intervention now for us as decided to downgrade super ration in the region, bringing down from 50022500. as left maddie, maddie is not considering talking to russians, good luck to them, and to the, and to my young population for the backing of the russian. but that is saved on frost is working with food, food for other countries, which it origin faith that the headboard france is needed. i don't think fraud is on a neil cronies project there. fraud is caught in a trap door to get out of the situation with odyssey. ed, we know that this region is a part. okay. and it's the established group,

g distilleries, groups even is distributed isaac, all the countries that are returned at trust is not a good place of this g. as many people say also sure it's work. and as the previous or good, even implied k at our mcgee, it's a d. how would you respond to that? because the vac, no group and russia, do you have they have been active in other countries in africa? and that's something which has arguably caused problems in some places. i'm thinking specifically of libya. do you think that that would be a helpful intervention in the south region? so inviting another a foreign or army or, or foreign mercenaries from other countries, or is it simply time for the foreign countries to get aids of africa and for these nations to fix them their problems themselves. that is the issue.

actually, if you look at the history of interventions, they haven't been successful. the case in point could be a star where the soviet union u. k. and recently the u. s. a b use there. in the case of africa today, we know that he's failing to say read it and he's going to need if it continues to be trying to using military life, even though it has to rely on the support from b and b is from a framework really this african problems will have to be fixed by itself under the african and the original organizations such as the economy community. and there are. 8 military framework for b a, g,

b, we handle the policies in order to address the only other head as long as the political and development current g from within these countries are addressed. you will continue to try if you the benefit from the reach of the countries in africa, countries. in the case of france, i believe france is taking too much. it can try to control or african nation and one doesn't have to come up with in the order of what i do believe we need to have a class with c o african agrees with it will continue on and on and on like it is

done in other 40 and the on the line. and it will be all we need to create a quick the means you put the financial means that we have with well, if you give me the class, nothing are done with the rest of the work is trying to come and i'm a, b, a, b i think would be a, a done example, if i could just very quickly said these problems lead an african solution. but some of these institutions within the populations in the countries i'm thinking of eco, was they regarded with suspicion by populations in the countries because they're seen as old president clubs that are too slow to act and to slow to criticize leaders. so where does the solution come from? you are sort of a rush. i am a forwarder of communication because my said,

i bow a really good boots. and the real product is a corporate program of legitimacy. ok if you are just regular a and sensing a t v and i think the to do that. and the problem is the time to place an order to take orders. and they make sure that the population that are against us realize that we are willing to support and that's what it booted up. also with an engine, mr. market. cover it with any what leadership or british or it was a bit of a for it. okay. good, good, good. because it was it. ok, we are almost out of time. i a final question to you jacqueline, before we wrap up this discussion and one minute if you can,

is it time for france to get out of africa? i i think that the countries are where francis prism said the g 5, and now the g 4 was trying to stay the french help, didn't need the funding, didn't need me to fight, to get his gro froth cabinet. just get out just like that. if they could do who jesse bulls, because disfigure of these intervention briggs more problems than the solutions and satisfaction. and we know that the situation relies that it probably would like africa, countries to be able to contribute to govern their country demote directly g g m s. c, but when you see money as a to cause in the last 2 years in august 2020 was 21 will be a demo. will be them a bunch of connections in february next year as dip promise. we don't know the

political and economic environment is so unstable that there's nothing to gain shorter. ready submissions, we'd have to come as we would agree from african population that the governments providing. okay. i want to ration if i can because when the final 10 seconds a one word answer from you adama gate, if it time for funds to leave africa? asked mister luis and it cost for a gentleman just for just another stick. oh wait a minute to buttons. it needs to understand the african schools and now we are absolutely out of time. a gentlemen. thank you so much for this lively discussion. i do appreciate it. thank you to jack,
