once their country back they are demanding a new politics in a country where its eighty two year old leader has ruled for twenty years. 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. 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 issue you have an upcoming one. 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 rarely appeared in public since but on monday algerian t.v. aired footage of the ailing president in a meeting that included nurit in bed to eat 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. committee joining me now is ben you hear from institute for security studies basan chin as. people are continuing to protest now against presidential election being postponed

how likely is it that they will be successful with this one. well i think totally honest i think the chance to put the protests against you folks are very high idea and the first protest i mean the first claim was. was against the system and now they understand of course an extension of the foreign standard is not for any of the guys 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. had no time then probably. the chance to the protests to stand there and yeah. now talking about protests protest movements imagine all across africa what can all j.f.s. situation teach other african countries that you get change in governments to

protest. of course. it's own specific piece recently but they keep carrying recent history the seven words you know. it's not for the political situation etc of course 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 there could be. to do during these protests everyone was expecting like more highland pre-action law enforcement and yet to see this not happen so it's a very important lesson to learn from what's happening now hopefully this situation even if the brothers through consignor do the situation when they leave. and when the brothers hopefully they've pacific so this is the main lesson to them for the future can contrast well no it had been you hear from the institute for security

studies based in tunis thank you very much for your 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 the media step towards ending the conflict that has been raging in the country since two thousand and thirteen the conflict mainly muslim rebels against christian 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 agreements that the government and various groups are signed says the violence erupted and now is just one quote on a rival to. the of hunan 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 twenty 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 of central africa project 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 are they be looking at the fact that seven about these deals did not go through. well i think the communities 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 a more inclusive government those are relevant to that not new but they are worth supporting now well i optimistically 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 it needs mentation that we need much greater international pressure now the african union is saying that that international pressures that the real value of car to was to have all the international leaders like faqih like representative of

representatives of the countries neighbors in the room signing up today's but they need to do more they need to pressure the parties in the country and that includes the armed groups to adhere to the agreements 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 how is this going to affect the peace deal of course it's not a good sign but at the same time it brother exposes the groups each side upping cops to they were only to get these positions so we've got a side of the state that's happening now then now saying well we don't have to add to our part of the agreement as long as the government doesn't give us positions in ministries so something of a standoff just a month from the signing of the agreement that many still need to be ironed out now

the al about twelve thousand u.n. troops in car 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 the americans as i'm sure you are listed as well know putting pressure on u.n. peacekeeping around the world good it seems to the moment 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 a very cold blood pressure ok richard moncrieff of central africa project director international crisis group many thanks for your time. it's now
