anyone going to group for the streaming diane conversation today to really unpack what is happening in the keen a fast i from down on the ground. we have the sun and we have. hm. really, really nice to have basically with us as son, please introduce yourself trusting audience. tell them who you are, what you do where come back to us army, just them. i went and and the nice to have here on the street. please introduce yourself to o'clock when you get to you. so my name's henry, i'm a journalist. i've been based in a way to begin for so for 2 years now, i'm a freelance work in television. i'm radio free been covering the security situation here for, for a couple of years now. so having nickos, harper did as a special story for a special report fashion, we were just watching. right? that was the beginning of the week. and really showing us what was happening on the

ground in his analysis of what night till the co, if you could take me around today, what is the most for like, what's happening? yeah, i mean, since the key to place things really calm down on the streets of why to you on the, on the monday or last week when, when the key was happening. i mean, there were some soldiers on the street or taken over the national broadcaster and so on, but really the following day, the civil side to, to dissipate things are calm now. today is a national football team is competing in the b at com for football tournament. and, you know, people are, people are turning out on the streets to, to watch that and venues around the, around the city. and yeah, i mean, if you, if you were to just go out on to the street so i could see you can, you really wouldn't notice that much that had changed. i'm wondering about the

reaction because on some of the reaction videos that i saw from people in the streets, there were rush and flags people were celebrating. the qu had happened. does that give us a sense of the public's opinion of the kid? yeah, absolutely. so i mean, the day after the key happened, several 1000 people turn out on the street so far like the plastic national, where many demonstrations that take place. and what was interesting was the demonstrations, which are, which happened before the, before the key had been stopped from happening in the, in the class, the la national by local police, were talking about demonstrations to show support for the military and protest. the former governments are handling of security in the country. i mean, these were protest demonstrations that will tell you with the use of force tear gas and so on. and so seeing this for the square fill for the 1st time,

and it was a, you know, you really gave you an idea that something had changed. you know, a lot of people were out on the streets and showing a lot of support for the, for the new military government. i mean, something else, though, it's really striking, was that we even saw people waving russian flags the demonstrations to celebrate the cute the day after which um yeah, for all sorts of reasons has raised a lot of questions and brought into the kind of national conversation here in became a fast so this whole thing of whether the existing or status quo. and we've international partners in terms of security and really working, you know, became faster. it's been working closely with, with france on security matters over the last,

last 56 years. and the fact the security really hasn't improved has led some people to stop wondering if there needs to be a shakeup of bikini faster, has international military partners, which has led some people to, to look towards possibly russia. i want to bring in any advice into our conversation. this is daniel isaac, is a research fellow at the african center for strategic studies at health related question here. immediate impact of the military current. the key foster is just one of disruption and diversion, that diversion of attention, a diversion of resources, diversion of personnel and confusion around the situation and who's really in charge in the long terms. this presents opportunities for difference arm to groups, criminal groups to take advantage of that confusion and to further embed and introduce themselves in the process of working process countryside. this will make

confronting a more complicated present greater challenge and ultimately results in pessimistic outlook. 2 things i'm really interested in picking up on a one is who's really in charge. yeah. yes. so i mean, i think the of the, it's pretty clear that the pull on read to me as he said, has, has taken control. i mean the, the army is very much now in control of became a fast, so it's is swept away this democratic government which was in place for, for, and 6 years or so. yes, the army thing is in control of the, of the politics of bikini faster and certainly the major towns and cities, but venture outside into the outside of the large towns and cities into the country side. and you know, i stay control is really just full and away. v. as i said through the conflict

between our groups are linked to al qaeda and islamic state has been going on for, for 6 years now. and in the more remote parts of the country side it's, it's not the state that's in control. it's not the army, but it's in control. the fighting a losing battle. and these aren't groups. are the ones that are, you know, are free run of the place and to a certain degree they are at least attempting to carry out certain functions of the state in their own way. so yeah, and show answer to your question. i mean the, the, the military, it seems now controlled the, the major towns and cities in the country side it's, it's the old greets. i will bring in destiny twain. this is some she jot among a man who knew that we were doing this program to day. and on this tweet, he brings up some of the issues that i want you to unpack for us, henry. and he talks about the dire human security conditions in bikini fuzzy that

they're complex. there's food insecurity, there's a social tensions as, as political tension as well. people use that phrase, insecurity or lack of security. what does that really mean? and mean, if you're going to take us somewhere, show us someplace, explain how people behave, that is such a threat that people welcomed some of them. welcome to qu, yeah, i mean, as i say, so our, in the country side, we're talking about small villages. and so on where they don't see any evidence of the state really. i mean there's a security forces don't make their way to many of these villages or other functions of the state luggage. additionally, and so on, don't apply their rule of law or is, is weak there. so what that means is that these aren't groups are essentially able to ride into these villages on motor bikes, unhindered,

harass the local people, try to implement elements of serial law. they start preaching of the mosques there, and i thought you might be giving an idea to the, to the local people of what they don't want to see. and if they don't feel like people don't follow these rules, they know, and then they for. and then with violence and often this whiten, this threat, turns into very real attacks where, where these, these turret groups right into the, to the villages and really just massacre people. i mean, middle of last year in june. so the largest attack since became fast. those conflicts began where a 106, the civilians at the very least, were killed that not. he's an all gold mine in the, in the north of the country. and here, i mean, as you right, he said it's, it's

a complex thing. i mean developments in these areas of the country is really lacking as well. so, you know, people are people, it's a big push factor for people to join these arms groups as well. the fact that they've just been neglected by the government and something else that we're seeing in these areas of the country is vigilante groups. hi, starting out as well. so, you know, these, these groups are not part of the state, but at least they're able to provide some kind of law and order out within these, these parts of the country where the state is full and the way they're not as bad as the, the current operating in some parts of the country, but even these vigilantes have provide a kind of brutal justice. she has a in her for she writes back human rights,

right. to say the least. yes. her thoughts, we have some questions on the chair from our audience watching right now had me. so this one at one gen quite simply, how are the people doing? is there a sense of getting back to normal? whatever normal is. and we don't answer quite yet because i want to go to hell and hater is really concerned about the civilians. we spoke a little bit earlier and this is what she sent us immediately after the back of hated for yet. please pick up the current situation. ember can i so following the qu is likely to increase the amount of human suffering that we have witnessed since 2018. at the end of last year that 4700000 people were in need of humanitarian aid. and about 1500000 people were forcibly displeased, so the protection of civilians and the unrestricted delivery of humanitarian aid should be at the center of every decision buddies and will be made about their

castle in the coming days, weeks and months. yeah, and so, i mean there isn't a sense that the things are getting back to normal. i mean, as i had already said there's, there's a huge humanitarian crisis going on in the country. more than one half 1000000 people have already been displaced by the by the conflict. yeah, i mean the, the, the humanitarian side of things is, is only getting worse. i mean, i've spoken to humanitarians in the last week or so, who say they're protecting the number of people in need of a debate? it could be as high as 2200000 by by the summer. so yeah, i mean, and the other thing is the visibility of the, of the space people has been

a real problem as well with the previous government. there was this, this kind of truck, human relationship between this humanitarian ministry in particular, the shantarian organizations that were working in between fossa, which has been well documented. and in fact, me monetary and ministry implemented ban on journalists visiting id p sites throughout the country from 2020, which came in the wake of a report which reported on gender based violence happening within id p sites, which, you know, obviously the humanitarian ministry of became fast i saw this is a very bad press for, for them. and this is what kind of triggered it's. this is panel journalist visiting id p site. so, you know, when the message of this, you know,

the images of this humanitarian crisis, there's no way for them to, to get out into the broader thought international community. he then that has made the situation worse for the space people in between faster. now, as i say, this was under the, the previous democratic governments, all of the ministers who were part of that government have now been removed from their position softer lieutenant colonel to me, but to power last week. and i really remains to be seen. so with this relationship that they became faster has with the media and with humanitarian groups who have complaints for the the states has made their operations difficult as well and improves that i think that will be a real test of the new ministration. so we mentioned at the can, if i says relationship with the media, which is

a really good point to bring back unless i'm at thank you so much for your patience . i hear there's a little funny game going on right now, which may well have degraded our internet connection with it. and so i'm so glad that you're back with us. why? so let's, i'm really just a brief introduce yourself. told it so that they with empathy, you are the perspective that you're coming from guide. dr. la son, withdrawal, a teacher. as an adjunct professor in one of the private schools here, university leave the book. you know, i also teacher at university do about group, but i am also mostly doing research on the ground here and interacting with a lot of folks who are obviously come here either our media expert or is this expert trying to understand the situation on the ground here, over the past 6 months, the sunday is debate and many debate was going on on the line right now on youtube right now as, as our audience are watching this show. so peter, for instance,

says if the military can make the cane of faster, better, let them continue ruling the country. and then hydro in response says coups are not the solution. this little debate here is that a debate that is being reflected in country where you are right now. absolutely, that debate is clearly reflected in the country here. we must be follow, clearly stating that we have tried with electro democracy so far. it has not worked properly for us. we had our 1st civilian elected government. and the only thing that we have seen is incompetency in all of its forms. the president how don everything he could do, replacing the government several times, replacing key military leaders better the situation. the security situation has not improved and has gotten worse and worse. so people are fed up. so i believe that is a totally new paradigm in terms of our understanding of what democracy is all

about. do we have to keep up with that narrow understanding of democracy as the majority, the voice and the majority through electoral voice is where we'll put into place people who are super incompetent or do we try something new? and we might to, one also pay attention to what is happening overall in the south region that might also be influencing. cuz clearly deborah and his folks have looked over and marty and guinea and to see that if you strike right now, you're going to have populace de salanda. so like exactly what you said, and i'm going to ask you how me just hold that for cuz i have to show you this graphic. all right, let's just play the map because listen, you just articulated what i was thinking, what we were thinking back a on the string. look at these companies that either had successful curse or fell call can, can it was sal failed. molly chat, guinea burkina faso. oh hi, cruz that must have some kind of ripple impact. and what were you thinking go ahead

. yeah, i mean i, i wouldn't say that it's even a debate in became faster at this stage whether like democracy, all military rule is better. everybody that i'm speaking to you practically, everybody that i'm speaking to is really saying now that they want military rule, i mean, became a fossil, it's only hearts or democracy or only had democracy for, for 6 years. from 2015 until, until last week. but, you know, even people who were involved in 2014 insurrection, which was a popular uprising that saw a democracy come in to the, to the country, even the people who were taking some streets and fighting for i'm talking to them now and they're saying no, we want to see military rule i to more chrissy just hasn't worked out. so that's so interesting. all right, so we asked earlier some of our audience atlas,

i'm going to get you to react to this immediately. some of that when it's about the number of cubes that are happening across the country, particularly in west africa and one i, and then pick up your thoughts immediately off the back as heavily. so let's have a look. every single country has a particular logic that's relevant to its internal dynamics. there's on broad similarities across the region in these countries where cool attempts have occurred . and one of them is a broad, political, and public dissatisfaction. i think is important to understand a some of this occurs within a context of governance failures. the whole purpose of establishing government is so that it provides certain public goods, security infrastructure, social services. and so when whole segments of the population or entire regions of the country live without a meaningful presence of the state. sometimes for decades, it provides a pretext for those looking to overthrow the government or those looking to take up

arms against it. a what exactly happened in of us of here and then last contaminant to serve city a president cavalry himself, so he's coming. he has been warned several times that things are not going well for the expectations from the people over the past couple of years. the price of the basic necessities are almost triple in what i do, even over the past 6 months. in some areas, all of booking of fossil 100 clog rooms over a rice of a cone. how going from around 20000 safer to almost 60000 safer? so how many people can afford to lead under these conditions? and it's not only the songs that are 50 directly affected folks that experienced that in the countryside. but also in the capital city and major cities,

we talk about the 1500000 internally displaced people. but the truth of the matter is that there's more to the story than that. then booking the problem, most people don't run away from the village and go to our camera. they go to see with relatives in the 1st place. and when the relatives cannot afford to host them, that's when you go to the government and then they go to those sites. so there's a lot of people who are not accounted for indoors. 1.5000000 internally displaced people. so the numbers are way, way more than that. and if you use the 2 windows, are you all in your house? madam, do you think teaching the military will be in the military government will be better place to, to deal with problems like that than a democratic government. like in the short term, i do believe that the military government will try to do some sort of shaw. they put a try to demo that they have the ability to make things change. of course, in

a longer term, we might fall back to we're slacking government. if we let them see tool, a shorter term, i believe dr. no matter what we see, they have a clear understanding that the civil society movement in booking of us are not going to let them breed by an old system where it is in the military rule with so much in competency. here, there are no clear communication about what is happening and when asked about what is going on. the i say we have from the couple are government was or did, has to do with the security issue and the question in the country. and we don't have any faith explain the saw that time of day was was so short and, and, and we thank you so much for helping us to stay with us while we're waiting for the sound to connect to really appreciate it. and she can tell, we're just starting the conversation, there's so much to talk about. i will get you both back on the next edition on another edition of the stream. but for now,

thanks for watching everybody. ah, the corona virus has been indiscriminate in selecting this victims. it's devastating effects of plague, every corner of the globe, transcending class creed and color. but in britain, a disproportionately high percentage of the fallen have been black or brown skinned . the big picture traces the economic disparities and institutional racism that a scene united kingdom fail, it citizens britain's true colors. part one on al jazeera frank assessments for china. ed well banner said from the 0 call it strategy. if the rest, the world cannot get together informed opinions at all costs luckiest on needs another thunder stable,

critical debate. why that would be the claims that need to constitutes a lead to stan cho threads to russia. but it's precisely his actions that's rated this insecurity in the region. in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera, i will totally assess the result of this great and historic presidential election if i, when a lot of people felt their world was being turned upside down. the way that has been manipulated by populace, like donald trump playing on racial anxieties. one person that citizens have political and of course in the united states, as in many other parts of the world that remains an ideal, but not a reality. runs a form of slaves and family, but we'll baby sit down for debit of the table of brotherhood. i have

a dream. my dream is that people may my daughter to young. people just have a full voice and don't feel tired today because of their race or ethnicity. ah, the you a sense troops to eastern europe, his face grow. russia could invade ukraine. the kremlin coals, the deployment destructive. ah ha ha ha rahman, you're watching all desert life. doha, coming up in the next 30 minutes, reopening the borders new zealand looses some of the world's top is covered 19 restrictions. following in his father's footsteps, the son of former philippines president ferdinand ma call says an election favorite, but faces disc.
