echoes of the arab spring after nearly a month of popular protests eighty two year old who to flicker has bowed to public pressure and announced he will not now run for a fifth term as president but he pushed the election to be held next month indefinitely. the day after the announcement thousands of demonstrators are back in the streets of the capital algiers demanding immediate political change. and that we are against any extensions any decisions to delay the elections or extend presidential terms we want to transition to governmental rule not sustain this corrupt government and if we. have to try to save his fifth term by extending his fourth term and postponing elections this is unacceptable and as a citizen i do not approve of this especially hard i'm not coming welcome and. we do not accept the extension that was announced they said new elections would be coordinators. that is fine as long as they are the sheffield elections. we

simply do not accept this. coming. into fleet has suffered a severe stroke in two thousand and thirteen and has really appeared in public since but on monday algerian t.v. aired footage of the ailing president in a meeting that included nurit in bed during the current interior minister who is not considered part of beautifully because in a circle has been named the new prime minister that's being seen as a sign that the old guard might really be releasing its hold on power. joining me now is jihad ben you hear from mr jude for security studies baze enchanters. people are continuing to protest now against april's presidential election being postponed how likely is it that they will be successful with this one. well i think totally honest i think there is

a chance to present protest to get you folks are very high ideas and the first protest i mean the first claim was. was against the system and now the of then of course an extension of the first term but at least not for any good because not running for the office i think the chances are very high and to be truly honest i think they're. under in a hurry to. have no time then probably. leave the chance to the protests to truth in the end yeah. now talking about protest protest movements imagine all across africa what can our j.f.s. situation teach other african countries that seek a change in governments to protest. of course. it's own specific piece recently but they peeped through the recent history of the seven

words you know. it's not from. the constitution etc of course with the securities and even what's happening now is really specific to injury i mean happening now because. of the lessons learned and most important lesson that could you know. during these protests everyone was expecting like a more high and then we actually law enforcement and yet does this not happen so it's a very important lesson to learn from what's happening now hopefully this situation even used to progress through consignor to the situation with a peace and calm and the presence hopefully they pacific so this isn't a lesson to them from the future can come from well known said ben yeah from days it's used for security studies based in tunis thank you very much for the time. now to the central african republic last month the nation's government

signed a new peace deal with rebel groups that agreement was hailed as a major step towards ending the conflict that has been raging in the country since two thousand and thirteen the conflict mainly muslim rebels against christian beliefs currently the government's control is limited to areas around the capital bangui while the number of different rebel groups in the north off the country this eight peace agreement of the government and various groups of scientists says the violence erupted and now. this one caught on unraveled. the upon symbolized a renewed hope for peace in central african republic but february's deal is now in jeopardy five of the fourteen rebel groups who signed it are contesting the makeup of the new government they say they've not been properly represented the relentless

cycle of violence began in two thousand and thirteen when mainly muslim rebels seized power in a coup christian groups then hit back in retaliation. the conflict has cost a quarter of the population to flee their homes schools have closed and the health care system is barely functioning two and three children are in need of humanitarian assistance more than twelve thousand u.n. troops stationed in the former french colony have failed to contain the conflict and none of the numerous deals previously struck with the various rebel groups have managed to restore stability all sides expressed optimism when the latest peace agreement was signed but of previous attempts are anything to go by nothing is guaranteed. joining me now is richard moncrieff sensual director with the international crisis group richard a welcome to the show thanks for joining us now the african union says it is very optimistic about this current

peace deal but how optimistic can they be looking at the fact that seven up these deals did not go through. well i think the african union its right to support this peace deal along with what's written on paper in khartoum is the right kind of thing that talks about disarmament of the main groups talks about more inclusive government those are really good new but they are worth supporting now well i optimistic well as you say we've been here before seven peace agreements in the last six years they will look the same and the problem is always that new premeditation that we need much greater international pressure now the african union is saying that that international pressures that the real value of the car to was to have all the international leaders like faqih like representative of representatives of the countries neighbors in the rue signing up today's but they need to do more they need to pressure the parties in country and that includes the

armed groups to adhere to the agreement now talking about the groups file of the fourteen one to gain more representation in government because of that they have withdrawn their members out from government ours is going to affect the peace deal of course it's not a good sign but at the same time it rather exposes the groups each side upping cops who they were only to get these positions so we've got assad if that's happening now then now saying well we don't have to add hate to our part of the agreement as long as the government doesn't give us positions in industry so something that will stand just a month from the signing of the agreement that many are not still needs to be ironed out and now the al about twelve thousand u.n. troops in. how long are they going to remain what's the plan there.

well right now that they've got they've got a mandate to remain a further twelve months and what we understand from new york and from washington is that there is a good degree of international support for that level of peacekeeping in the country and the americans as i'm sure your listeners will know i'm putting pressure on you and peacekeeping around the world but it seems to the garbage that the mission in central african republic is free from that kind of pressure and we can expect those numbers to remain at but the u.n. needs to up its game it needs to push back against the old groups which is a very difficult thing to do because these armed groups very skilled at melting back into the population and it's very hard to put pressure ok richard moncrieff of central africa project director international crisis group many thanks for the time . now fast a british led scientific mission has broadcast live television quality video and
