people for information. they want to express. on facebook and twitter today to touch. followers. this is news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes algeria off to abdel aziz bush if kneecaps eighty 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 underway in mozambique turned outbreak of the deadly disease.

i'm christine wonderwall come to africa i'm glad you're choosing to in algeria today is without a day as easy as president after twenty years off he's role 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 take a resigned off to six weeks of protests in the country. not yet this is the end of with a flick of a new era for the 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 with difficulty of resignation. it's the power of shame the

elites have to go they must all leave and they must be held accountable. for the beginning of the end for bitter flickers political career came six weeks ago when he announced he would seek another term in office 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 protest like oh 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 argyria long awaited for state t.v. broadcasting images of the president coming over his resignation letter. that is a departure enough to satisfy all jerry ans a lot of demonstrators signaled they don't just want with a flicker out they want to hold the entire power structure to taking the first step

reason enough to celebrate am. i. better for some more insight on the political developments in algeria i'm joined by special welcome to the t.v. africa why we're algerian says hold against the ideal bush if he can run for a fifth term well first i would like to mention. what three time on the sabbath beautifully gotten out of something or decided something this is the version of the algerian regime isn't it because it was hit by a serious joke some six years ago and he's not able to do so since that. is living under a political crisis even longer than that and the people of syria was not able to go 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 who are protesting against the fifth 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 when the military decided it was the new 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 beautifully got 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 into his position some thirteen years ago and he's known for

being one of the most loyal allies of sin since and even in the beginning of the protest he tried to threaten the people and the recalled them of the civil war and mentioned 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. 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 to stay right in a certain sort right so so bush if you because resign now that it's been twenty is he's finally headed that resignation does this mean it's a new era for the country yes and no yes because the people have for the first

time since the end independence of our journey from france in one to sixty to sixty two feeling that they have really the power to decide over the best and. they weren't since because of their lives in a dictatorship and now they think it could be a real chance 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 their position all right so. what 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 well 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 trying to do so but even the actual constitution. 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. with insight on the political developments in algiers in algeria thank you thank you. and on the extraordinary is in mozambique when a call or a vaccination program started today the campaign is targeted to reach nearly nine hundred thousand cycling survivors in the country as officials rush to contain an outbreak of the disease or outbreak was brought on by. its killed two people and

infected more than a 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 it hurts. some help is on its way cholera vaccines were drawn from an emergency supply in india are being given to those in the worst affected areas it's a race to stem the outbreak and convince the skeptics. is that. we need to do is to move all of those.
