2:33 pm
what's the on the latest military coup in the heater far so the president is arrested, a soldier, mutiny against a government's failure to stop attacked by armed groups. what's required to restore stability. this is an eyesore ah hello, welcome to the program. i'm in ron con. it's the african country where military coups happen all too often. in the latest attempt in between a faster internet is down the main t v stations on the military control and soldiers say they've detained president russia. campbell ah, tension escalated on saturday when security forces fall to protesters. who blame the government from failing to stop attacks by on groups. on sunday,
2:34 pm
soldiers mutinied at military bases in the capital one could do. and to other cities. the leaders of the revolt made 6 demands, including the replacement of military commanders and better equipment to fight on groups. some protesters showed their support in street demonstrations. the defense minister went on t v to deny a coup attempt, and the government imposed a curfew. nicholas hack is to monitoring developments for us from duck are in cynical. there are celebrations in the capital walker to go and across the country . many saying that president hawk macavoy had it coming. he was seen as weak and inefficient in the face of growing attacks from arm groups linked to i, sal, and al qaeda. and the tipping point happened in november where security forces almost 50 of them died in the region of a nuts. and there was public outcry when it turns out that only where they ill equipped but they had gone weeks without receiving their food rations. prison hawk hawk mckellar was seen as a president that was not equipping the soldiers sent on the frontline without their
2:35 pm
food rations. and so there were protests across burkina. faso in those protests were clamped down and present rock. michaela made a series of measures dismissing his government several times, most recently dismissing several senior officers. some of them were arrested, allegedly plotting a coup against him. and so it seems now that they, the military are now in charge of burkina faso. this may be a step back for democracy in a region that has seen 3 who's one in guinea, the other in molly, and now in breaking a fossa. but for many in the country, it's seen as a step forward for better security. more than 1500000 people have been displaced in over 2000 people have been killed in a country on the verge of chaos. despite the support of french forces that are on the ground. nicholas hawk al jazeera for inside story will introduce all panel in just a moment. but 1st, let's take a quick look at how we go ahead. no,
2:36 pm
as nicholas hak mentioned, a taxing to iceland. al qaeda have killed thousands and displaced around one and a half 1000000 people. the military has been suffering losses since the violence began in 2016 last december. more than 50 security forces were killed in the north . the continued killing of civilians triggered at demonstrations against the government. military leaders also complained about a lack of equipment and training. in october, president roche cavalry replaced the chiefs of the army and the air force to quell discontent within the military. and earlier this month, a dozen soldiers were arrested on suspicious of conspiring against the government. ah, that's working, i guess, in acro, the capital have gone on a manual, casey and inc, director of research the cope, you know, international peacekeeping training center, in osalla, in sweden. yes. where be allison, senior researcher, of the nordic africa institute, and from casablanca in morocco, adama gate,
2:37 pm
a journalist, olga, and former director of information eco associate, can only community west african states. i welcome to you all. i'd like to begin in casablanca, in morocco with you, a dom again, president roche campbell has seen the writing on the wall for a long time. in fact, he did ref, senior military leaders. but that seemingly not enough to stop a qu from happening. how much trouble is he in isaac drama because this was, as you say, writings on the wall. people who have been with the c v in the country a happy. and you remember last year, 1453 of them will either down call it a mission and through for this. so the, a government for changes. so you found
2:38 pm
a wonderful story to age and indeed there was really a race toward it stopped me a just the 2 weeks ago. it was attached to a controller by the military as you was until yesterday. but people including a legal, he's decided to strike yesterday to me. i think they're just towards the president. good. you know, so, and the people are here to then, you know, not just a yeah. and where did it. and later, despite the b a nation lead to the
2:39 pm
steel or the did, he said that the source didn't want you to do for them to fish for a company was somehow a neighbor under the 2nd. and you just use not really very strong. a to do is come 3 of us if you could give them in 2015. well let's, let's make that point to manual crazy and in the key to fast. so has a unique, perhaps more than any other african nation problem when it comes to fighting al qaeda and iceland deed a couple of years ago on iceland message boards that was told that they wanted to make the king of fossil, the capital of the new caliphate. that never happened, but the fighting has been tough for the king of us, or does the army in the keno fast. i have a point, they're not equipped to fight this fight. and this is why they've mounted this
2:40 pm
action when i think that, i mean, that's a good point. but there's not just about a lack of appropriate and adequate logistics. it's also about a doctrine. it's about leadership. it's about the nature of the messaging and understanding of, of the enemy that they are trying to resist. and me sway best when there's clear point, it's cow leadership with a message that no doubt drives the army. and that it is sure that yeah, access i will hear it. i think that political leadership of leading, of oversight, of control of ensuring that a stretches themselves within the abbey franklin effectively to be able to take on this enemy as be weak leading to the app itself creating atrocity. so i mentioned atrocities that has led me to lose some of the support from the business
2:41 pm
. the phil at west publish acad effects for me is that temporary reverse out there? something all dental keena government? well, let me take that, let me take a break to our next guest there. yes, for jonathan. ah, who is in of solar in sweden, or we are stage where the president is actually afraid of his own military. he was afraid that the will become too powerful, so he didn't give them what they needed to fight that fight. and now they're actually put him under house arrest is back for his truck is almost back fight because he was afraid of them in the 1st place. well, i think it is a very tricky sort of structure to maneuver for the president, and that will be 2 of the president succeeding cooperative. that is what we're seeing now. we have to distinguish, 1st of all, of course, between the troops, actually fighting the war against you. how does i'm in the north of the country? and then the central military leadership. and as mr. gay said,
2:42 pm
that has been some replacements now in the military leadership. but i still had soldiers protesting yesterday, calling for another change of the head of the army, not of the president. so i think 1st of all, we have to nuance or understanding of what the different factions of the army actually are asking for. and then we also have to distinguish between the military elite and, and sort of the, the troops themselves. i think the president's challenge has been that he has, as far as i've understood, he has appointed new leadership within the armed forces. now that seem to be sort of a group formerly referred to as low boys who were loyal to the state during the attempted to of 2015. and he may have sort of marginalized other actors within the armed forces that are now reacting to not being as more central to power. so it's a very complicated structure. and
2:43 pm
a very complicated game the president has had to play their dom again. would you agree the factionalism within the army is a big driver of what we're saying there. is this army in the north that isn't very happy with the central army leadership, as i guess is just pointed out. would you say that that's true? a bounded by the fact that there is literally division in the other is given to what we can come to the mexican generally we have been benefiting from the resources of the state. whereas the lower right people will go up to you yesterday. you know, benefit from so this is a really key. but beyond that, i think the country was not when you manage before we think about it all for almost 27 years after the do you mind of a 97,
2:44 pm
v by the people or a country for 37 years somehow with various forces by mr. our previous president, there are 2 little this right away. we're going to fossil from countries affected by a well now what is happen? a we, each of them are really powerful, but we go to region, but much to change gears because we haven't ever seen the game a b to play u n. 15000000. but you know, the people want to leave this place before we leave the country. you have
2:45 pm
a funny in the country usa economy, difficulties and the military. you grow, or do you think about the program and maybe about from mr. rock up. i know, personally, mr. going for many years, he's dumber, but he's not a party that the media to you right. really takes to make sure that anybody who is in the military room where we know that most of them it is. it will somehow and under the previous president, mr. mark echols have just come up with some statements, quite crucial statements. actually they've describing it as an attempted, cute that they've also said that the army is responsible for the physical integrity of a rush, a boy himself, and echo us of also said that they want to see rapid change in the situation.
2:46 pm
is anybody going to be listening to echo us and manual questioning? well, i mean, this sounds very much like a repetition or the same stint mans with respect to miley, with respect to gainey and now in a class. so i think the primary elementary and the democratic rebels, the ability of those who govern, to really have a handle on the multiplicity of problems that the a country has. and for who wants to play that intervening be true for all of not doing. it's need to awesome all inclusive or pin that logic form of governance. so there wouldn't be much listening because. busy look, that there were some bridges have changed. you know,
2:47 pm
people are priscilla becoming impatient, demanding, govern. now that's, that's speaks to the challenges that the face on a daily basis. and both of them in dennison have told us quite a lot about the ballistic. did today challenges of people and i think west africa, but it's kind of lead actually put it must be sensitive to the driving forces of the majority of these people do the sub rigid, 20 indicated unemployed. you know how sing for our benefit? i mean christian to come in for example, and frustrated with was told to know what is happening elsewhere and does that quote for me on liberty that's true or cheap and non functioning. so while knowing for the counterpart elsewhere having right, let me bring up pointed to yes, the jonathan
2:48 pm
a class is the economic community of west african states. is it actually a player in this particular scenario, or like, i guess it's just that it's again the statements that we've heard before, and they're not really resonating with the people, the poll on the ground? well, i would say that if we look at what's happening in molly, i think it was, is trying to to, to we impose itself as an relevant act when it comes to sort of in molly, trying to, to convince the military young to, to hand over power to civilian that, transitional government. but it's true that that class has been criticize of being sort of a president club where, you know, the heads of state of countries with questionable democratic records are looking out for each other rather than looking out for their populations. so i think equivalence has a legitimacy problem to, to deal with. but i do think that these kinds of statements are necessary as
2:49 pm
a minimum i think that not making condemning statements about potential military takeover would be even worse. so i don't think there's much else for eco us to do at the moment, but they will have to work hard to deserve credibility in the eyes of, of west african people. in general, i would, i would say adama gave the same point to you are a co s, a player right now. no, it was a community, a huge type of structure that you said in a country that is almost going down the drain as being rejected by the population across not just across africa. this is a good idea just for themselves. why didn't they react when get a quantity with getting
2:50 pm
people? or would you mind it? well, why don't they react to when it should at least you? but i'll be there for a few and know, i mean time to make it to all people. you do not like a, as a form of communication, call us at the, the changing demographics with youngsters coming up, knowing what is going on in the world and a man and the cost of the cost of the state and the cost of the state to be something you need to finish and open up the field of conversation to make sure that they do end up building a statement that people are going to pay attention to mr. wrong mark a c s. and the problem as meeting was to me, well,
2:51 pm
we again, we will get into the citizens. we will get into that. i do want to bring in a well, let's talk about, let's talk about the other organization before we get into how long the president has been powerful. manual chrissy and where is the african union and all of this, they have a role to play a role to play, but the structure of the relationship between the african union and it's read that economy communities is that was based on the subsidiary principal. become defensive, the regional organization, destro respond to the challenges that book has treat and that's the kind of union will take guidance from where beach but they realize the target. and i said, and there might be, see, how do we show that we have used to shoes?
2:52 pm
that's our response. see as sensitive to the needs of people. now, when you have to teach you that i increase and i'm not perceived by the generality of the population as being and banding and nuanced in depth of the problem it's mandating from this institution seems to be purely kinda foster hasn't happened overnight. we saw a quest meetings in a crash where they were focusing on malady. so that gives that impression that there's a lack of appropriate intelligence organ. so was seen to have lost emmanuel, though we will come back to you. yes. with unison here we go. you have echo us, you have the african union, they are players are within this entire scenario is playing out right now. but you
2:53 pm
also have a generational problem of corruption of mismanagement. there's taken places lead to this anger, none of this is solvable overnights. so literally the future for begin of faso in the next few months will be a military, almost failed state. surely. well let's, let's hope for the best i would say. let's 1st see what happens in these coming days. as far as i know, it hasn't really been confirmed that this is a complete military takeover. i would just, i would look back to the popular uprising of 2014 and say that even before the regional had his terrorism became such an imposing problem on booking a fast. so the country was facing a very steep transition from the 27 year rule of bass, compressed into a more democratic state. and that challenge was then compounded by the, the sort of the, the growing threat of and menace of the how to terrorism. so already
2:54 pm
at that time, when mr. corporate came in, sorry, missed a couple of came into power. you know, that was a very steep challenge to face and i don't, i think he's been fairly realistic in the promises he's made to some extent. but of course, any, any head of state would, would struggle to keep promises under those conditions. so what he has failed that dramatically is of course, communicating the extent to which those promises we're just not possible to keep the question of whether we're heading towards a military state. now, i think we should be very careful about normalizing military rule in the region. i think that's the, that's the 1st key point there. and i think it's up to all these different factors regional, continental and international to keep pressure on any military actor stepping forward and k may need to ship. now i think it's important that we find the way
2:55 pm
back to civilian rule if this is and do the military takeover. a dormer gay, our guest is just said we should not normalize military coups. but there is a scenario. maybe that this might be a good thing because of the jihad is terrorism, that you had his own groups that they face in the north of the country. maybe this is was needed to defeat those groups. and clearly, that's an international objective. doesn't have anything to do, the people are beginning fast on helping them, but it is an international objective. is there a response here that is actually good? yeah, this is a recession of democracy in the world. the summit of democracy organized recently by then by them in america was a failure. at many, you have a turkey, china, russia, to so many leading some countries as wanted to emulate. now you're ever sort of
2:56 pm
take into account the history of looking at fossil is not the 1st time the military coming to the point to go freight. i remember a, somebody e was immediately even b. afterward, there was another movie and then there was a b. so he's not something new in the history of, you know, the part of the you can call countries to do man for c, v, a ruler to be in breach. when those in a row, once they count about it and on the privatize the resources of their countries and what is talking to us, not for the common good. and this is the problem because i remember i was in a, in june 1999. when did that, or a you,
2:57 pm
the south african union decided to ensure that the me manage one of the country, a guess a game that the city would deliver on good governance. that they would ensure the integrity of the country. and they were both, both government agencies and this is not happening. and this is a price that more military prompted by african young a well, a got less. yeah. the younger ones that a the see a just a moment. and we pick up in general to say, well, thank you very much. so all our guests manual, crazy. yes,
