good fun story. with exclusive. to see concerning four times culture you're a. curious minds. do it yourself networkers. subscriber don't miss. this is steve news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes algeria off the abdelaziz bouteflika say 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 under way in was and beat all turn 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 to fake as president after twenty years of his role in his two decades in power the eighty two year old weathered many a stroll 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. this is the end of winter flicka a new era for that country a day after the leader abdelaziz 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 british because of resignation. it's the power of shame the

elite have to go the most all even they must be held accountable. the beginning of the end for her to flick his 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. 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 germans a lot of demonstrators signaled they don't just want with a flicker they want to overhaul the entire power 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 special welcome to the t.v. africa why were algerians hold against the idea of running for a fifth term well first i would like to mention that. what three times on the sabbath beautifully an ounce of something or decide something this is the version of the old during the regime isn't it because i was hit by a serious joke some six years ago and his 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 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 fifth candidacy for a fifth since over seven weeks because they have broken the wall of fear and because they have no not 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 it to rewriting. 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 that it 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 with the figure 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 of the civil war and mentioned the situation in libya and syria the civil wars there but that didn't succeed and the protesters were able to gather more than twenty millions in 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 to stay in power and the whole regime is trying to stay in a certain sort right so so bush if you resign now that it's been twenty is he's finally headed that resignation doesn't mean it's a new era for the country yes and no yes because the people have for the first

time since the independence of our journey from france in one thousand sixty to sixty two the feeling that they have really the power to decide over destiny they weren't since because of their live 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 won 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. 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 constitution in its 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 that story is in mozambique when a caller 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. 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 this cycle and 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 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. us. to talk to.

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

a concert for the cycling victims pete. will donate what they can as the country struggles with the fallout of its worst ever disaster. an extra is about the simple north african dish made from little balls of wheat it's taking on a new role as a catalyst of north african unity the musgrave countries have swallowed the difference is and presented a joint bid to secure a year end heritage status for the delicacy it's the first time ever that for north african countries have come together to file a joint application. an integral part of the history and tradition of the mud grab its 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 use or semolina flour it's a staple of family celebrations. there were two that 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 close to 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 that they first 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 us its name. of course it's just there's intense rivalry between algeria morocco mauritania and tunisia 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 unesco application will be examined in december.
