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 our journey regime isn't it because i was hit by a serious joke 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 and 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 no longer are 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 when the military decided it was going to take action did we see that resignation come through is this the will of the people of 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 but free got into his position some thirteen years ago and he's known for being one of the most loyal allies of since since and even in the beginning of the protest he tried to threaten the people and the recalled 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 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 stay in power and the whole regime is trying to stay. in a certain sort right so which if you because resign now 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 to sixty six to feeling that they have really the power to decide over the best in. their weren't a sense that because of their lives 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 won over a very deep rooted and complex regime and they try to to to also the whole regime that's their position all right so. what if weakest term was going to come to an end i think is 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 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 extraordinary 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 that cholera 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 destroyed us there's nothing here we're hungry
