we speak different languages we fight for different things that's fine but we all stick up for freedom freedom of speech and freedom of press. giving freedom before . matters. made for mines. this is news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes algeria after abdelaziz bouteflika safety two year old has lost his grip on power but is his resignation enough to usher in a new era. and a mascot or a vaccination program gets under way in was and beat all turned out to break up the day of the disease.

i'm christine wonderwall come to africa i'm glad you're in algeria today is without abdelaziz bouteflika as president after twenty years. in his two decades in power the eighty two year old weathered many a stall including the arab spring in twenty eleven and a stroke two years later that nearly took his life on tuesday evening which of faecal resigned after six weeks of protests in the country. not yet this is the end of the to flick of a new era for that country a day after the leader abdel aziz bouteflika resigned with immediate effect. celebrations went on deep into the night across the country the people finally gets in what did been wanting for weeks. that we are happy with because of resignation. it's the power of shame the

elite have to go they must all even they must be held accountable. this is. the beginning of the end for bitter flickers political career came six weeks ago when he announced he would seek another term in office the eighty two year old had to drop his plan after a nationwide protest the. pressure continued to mount common eating in the country's powerful army turning against the well. how decision is clear. and there is no turning back. we will support the people until their demands are fully and completely satisfied. then the moment our jury ends had long waited for state t.v. broadcasting images of the president coming over his resignation letter. that is a departure enough to satisfy all jerry ns a lot of demonstrators signaled they don't just want put a flicker out they want to hold the anti-war past structure to taking the first

step reasoning enough to celebrate am. i. better for some more insight on the political developments in algeria i'm joined by day is special welcome to africa why were algerians so whole against the idea of push iftikhar running for a fifth term well first i would like to mention that. what the time of the sabbath beautifully something or decide something this is the version of the journey regime isn't it because i was hit by a serious throw some six years ago and his not able to do so since then. is living under a political crisis even longer than that and the people of syria was not able to protest against this because they were too intimidated because they were constantly reminded of the civil war in the nine hundred ninety s. was with over two hundred thousand thousands of dead and now what changed the

people are protesting against the three fifths candidacy for a fifth since over seven weeks because they have broken the wall of fear and because they have no no longer ready to accept the situation and to be humiliated by being ruled by a picture of a president and also because of the constant the. situation of their lives inside the country ok so we're talking about a resignation that comes in there was weeks of protests but it's really where the military decided it was going to take action did we see that resignation come through is this the will of the people or the will of the military here well it is apparently the military who pushed the flipper to resign but of course it's rather the will of the people the military the military chief gets out of himself was set

by between or into his position some thirteen years ago and he is known for being one of the most loyal allies of to feed since since and even in the beginning of the protest he tried to threaten the people and to recall them of the civil war and mention the situation in libya and syria the civil war there but that didn't succeed and the protesters were able to gather more than twenty millions and the protests and. the friday is next after his speech so i think he got afraid of his proper skin and what his trying now is to to find a solution in order to stay in power and the whole regime is trying to stay. in a certain sort right so so bush if you resigned now that it's been twenty is he's finally headed that resignation doesn't mean it's a new era for the country well yes and no yes because the people have for the first

time since the independence of our journey from france ninety six to sixty two the feeling that they have really the power to decide over destiny. there weren't a sense that because of their live in a dictatorship and now they think it could be a real chance to to change this mode of governance and now because this is only a battle that they want over a very deep rooted and complex regime and they try to add to it also the whole regime that's the position all right so. if weakest term was going to come to an end i think it's twenty seventh of april there was going to be an election that was canceled so what happens now what we see is that the army chief is trying to find a transition inside the actual constitution and that would mean that the leaders of the transition would be members of of the regime the people are calling for that

and the people would not or will not be i will not accept such a maneuver so i think they try to do so but even the actual constitution in article seven has a solution for the crisis and it is about giving back the power to the people in order to give them the possibility to to do to cause the approval of a new constitution ok. is fresh air i'm ruined with insight on the political developments in algeria thank you thank you. and on the extraordinary is in mozambique way a color a vaccination program started today the campaign is targeted to reach nearly nine hundred thousand psi clone survivors in the country as officials rush to contain an outbreak of the disease or outbreak was brought on by site clooney diets killed two

people and infected more than one thousand. base of five the site clone now the risk of something they can't even see coming cholera people in makeshift shelters are in the most danger here clean drinking water and other sanitation is sorely lacking. i stayed in the water for three days the cyclon destroyed us there's nothing here we're hungry i don't have a home anymore but there are lots of us here and we all need help but it hurts not . some help is on its way these cholera vaccines were drawn from an emergency supply in india being given to those in the worst affected areas it's a race to stem the outbreak and convince the skeptics. the rason is that. what we need to do is to move all of those to deal to talk to the.

advantage of. that up and i got the vaccine together with my child but what i want most is help to rebuild my home it was destroyed by the cycle and i want to go back there. cholera is bret's for a human waste in the water supply it causes severe diarrhea left untreated can lead to death within hours so making people aware of what color is and treating the water with purification products are also vital steps that we are doing is really trying to make sure that the communities have access to safe water they have safe sanitation in they also practiced good hygiene. while aid is coming in from abroad people in mozambique are trying to do their bit to help. here and now in the north american musicians put on

a concert for the cycling victims people. nates what they can as the country struggles with the fallout of its worst ever disaster. an extra is about a simple north african dish made from little balls of weeds it's taking on a new role as a catalyst of north african unity the musgrave countries have swallow their differences and presented a joint bid to secure a year in heritage status for the delicacy it's the first time ever that four north african countries have come together to file a joint application. because an integral part of the history and tradition of the magreb it's rich in flavor and history it's the king of the table it's served at all ceremonies it's also inexpensive and highly nutritious made from little balls of durham we saw semolina flour it's a staple of family celebrations. you know it's

a dish that brings us together and which we're all proud of. i believe that in these four countries there's not a friday when you don't find the smell of course. because is now popular in many parts of the world but its origins lie in northern africa where it's been used for well over a thousand years the folks it's called it's a bribe a word it's derived from the noise of the movements i'm making with my hands the sound of the seed in the basin and the bracelets the women used to wear so it's this gesture that gave couscous its name. of course course squads there's intense rivalry between algeria morocco mauritania and to newseum all claiming to be the home of course cursed but now they're prepared to look past years of antagonism to secure the coveted u.n. heritage status for the food the u.s. corrupt location will be examined in december. and that's it
