finance minister so must you say there was also unrest in the run up to the poll amid years of heightening ethnic violence and jihadism. for more let's go now to journalist brown possumus in mali's capital bamako brown there were concerns of election violence what can you tell us about the security situation on the ground right now. ok the security situation on the ground is worry into regions of specially in the center of the country and in the north of the country and this is not unexpected because these are the same regions where there has been a low intensity conflict going on since twenty twelve in the north and since two or three years in the center this is the regional mopti the regional bumbled to the region of key dahlan even as far north as styled any of the algerian border from all these sectors incidents of violence have been reported we don't know the impact

of that immediately but it is quite clear that there are many areas where people have been prevented from voting by this farland asked was threatened by the jihad is organization g n i m of golly. you mentioned voter turnout being affected do we know yet exactly what the effect of this violence was on voter turnout. but that's a matter for the calculator's obviously have this point in time it is very difficult to see how exactly this has affected voter are complacent which was. a matter of bear in mind also that mali has a traditionally very low turnout for voting in presidential election that's been below fifty percent since two thousand and one but obviously things like these do not help now why are these elections so important for mali and what should the international community be looking for here. oh interesting way the question could be why

a very important film ali is i think part of that answer lies in the fact that hardly half of them bothers to turn up so it might actually be an even better question to do to ask for whom are very important and then obviously you turn your attention to the international community which set great store by molly being very full story will hopefully prosperous and rid of all kinds of sectarian communal and yardies violence or hope we have to see in the past five years what the when you know you if you make an assessment of the past five years it's quite clearly that this particular government that is seeking reelection has not been able to deliver these things so where are the ins who will go to those are looking for continuation of this i would doubt very much whether they are confident enough that any other candidate will bring the change apart and the two front runners the the incumbent president and his challenger smile as he said again very doubtful because they are products of the exact same political system that brought this result about in the

eight years of rule by the party. now is to have them in a tree having our president robert mugabe. and i am a free man and god why then take over and now at seventy five years old he wants to continue running the country. although he is a former vice president and was part of the very system that brought the country to the brink of collapse when god promises a break from the mugabe iraq and news and bob way just like his opponents he likes to portray himself as an advocate for change. tearing has short term in office moment god has opened his country up to her own investment and planted seeds. great freedom. her. work. her.
