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. is happy 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. jihad. we do not accept the extension that was announced they said new elections would be coordination. that is fine as long as they are the shadows elections. we simply do not accept this. 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. 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 the how not then you hear from institute for security studies baze enchanters. people are continuing to protest now against a prosperous there's an election being postponed how likely is it that they will be successful with this one. well i think i'm reaching totally honest i think the chance to present projects to get you folks are very high ideas and the first project i mean the first claim was. was against the system and now the ok then of course it's an extension of the point john but not for any good because not running for the office i think the chances are very high and to be truly honest i think

there. are enough for you to have. had no time then probably. the chance to the criticism. now talking about protest protest movements imagine all across africa what kind of a j s situation teach of african countries that you get change in governments to protest. of course. it's own specific piece recently to take you through the recent history of the seven words you know. it's not for example you can teach relation etc of course with the securities and even what's happening now is really specific to injury i mean it's happening now because it is . the most important lesson that could be known to. me during these protests everyone was rather expecting like

a more violent reaction on terrorism and yet you see this not happen so it's a very important unless you learn from what's happening now hopefully this situation given you some progress through consignor the situation with a peace and calm and the brothers hopefully they pacific so this is the main lesson to bring them to the situation on the african continent well no it had been yeah for days it's used for security studies based in june is 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 disagreement was hailed as the major step towards ending the conflict that has been raging in the country since two thousand and fifteen 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 eighth peace agreement by the government and various groups are signed says the violence erupted and now yes this one caught on a rival to. the of luan 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 make up 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 central africa director with the international crisis group richard 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 days 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 really good then not new but they are worth supporting now well i optimistic well as you say we've been here before all seven peace agreements in the last six years they will look the same and the problem is always it needs to meditation 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 representatives 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 drawn down members out from government house is going to affect the peace deal of course it's not a good sign but at the same time it rather exposes the the armed groups each side

upping cops to they were only get these positions so we've got a side of it that's happening now that 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 needs to be ironed out is not valid 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 it 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 putting pressure on u.n. peacekeeping around the world but it seems that the mission in central african republic

is free from that kind of pressure and we can expect those numbers to remain net 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 central africa project director international crisis group many thanks for your time. now well past a british led scientific mission has broadcast live television quality video and sound using wireless technology from deep below the surface of the indian ocean on missions fast transmission came from sixty meters by the sea off the says shells in the allophones are told its ultimate goal is to god be on the indian ocean to help improve conservation and one of the wells least explored areas.
