in algeria to press their demands to democratic change it's the country's eight consecutive snaps to protest. a man you could as mckinnon thank you so much for joining us. saddam's military chief has stepped down just one day off to he was sworn in as the country's new leader but demonstrators have again flooded the streets in protest at the interim military regime which took over off the sourcing president omar al bashir from power. back to sit in protests remain largely peaceful and their message is clear the sudanese people do not want to be ruled by the military chiefs who ended the thirty year regime of president obama by sheer. but the army is still very much
11:02 am
in charge here even though bashir is the immediate successor to even a general link to the genocide in darfur lessa just one day in the top job and over use i announce the time stepping down as for leader of the transitional minutely council i'm selecting instead of someone whose expertise incompetence i can trust. he will take the ships of the shores of safety i have chosen lieutenant general abdul fattah rahman to succeed me as president of the military council. so one army commander has replaced himself with another on the plus side the new chief both is not wanted for war crimes. but the protesters want a clean break and reject out right the military's plans to rule the country for two years before calling elections. to deny because women christmas is no change our
11:03 am
revolution is continuing that change is still coming it will be much better we don't have any supporters of the regime among us only the sudanese people in the jaguar a lot i think we don't want regime supporters at all we are free revolutionaries continuing on our course the regime must fall. the international community is calling on all sides to show restraint what is very important at all in the present very fluid situation that the human rights are observed and the right of assembly and we have to come to a credible and inclusive political process that will lead to the transition that we all all want despite placing him under arrest the military says it won't hand over former president omar al bashir to the international criminal court for his role in the darfur killings. the people are pleased to see the back of their old ruler but the protesters have filed to stay on the streets until
11:04 am
a civilian not military transitional council is in place. all right joining me to talk about this law is not. thanks for joining us the defense minister abruptly stepped down but he's now being replaced by another military man now this isn't the kind of democracy the protest is a calling for that not exactly the protesters want actually a civilian led to transitional government they want the military to hand over the the power to the search for answers from the government but they are willing as i understand now maybe to give this new man. in you a chance. there should be today i guess a meeting between them leading groups of the opposition and the protesters and then you head of the military council. we still don't know what will come out of this meeting i think he might be
11:05 am
a good compromise or for the position he's not being indicted by the international criminal court we know that a mother bashir is being accused of. committing war crimes and genocide in the western region of darfur and to thousands and he's being indicted by the i.c.c. and also the former head of the military council who stepped down yesterday but also so. this is a. reason which is crucial for the protesters but it's not the only one. the main thing they want as that the figures of the regime the old regime go away step down and the waves for a civilian. transitional government so it sounds like you're saying it's a good it's a good pro compromise it's a step in the right direction presumably there wouldn't be any chance right now that the military would just happily hand over power to civilians and that's
11:06 am
unrealistic it's quite untrue unrealistic i don't think that they will just hand the power to morrow. to the civilian government despite the protests despite the protests i think they will agree upon a trend transitional period which will not take two years as the military council proposed yesterday or the day before yesterday i think they will try to shorten the strings a transitional period and give the power more swiftly to civilians and to. experts and technocrats let's talk a little bit more about the protesters who who all day and what's you know i sing them now that bashir has stepped down while he's gone what's so uniting them is they want to get rid of the figures of the old regime as i said and they're basically civilians from all walks of life many young people as we see and their reports and there's a very crucial role for the association of the sudanese professional who has been
11:07 am
leading the process since last december two thousand and eighteen and also opposition groups and union trades and civilian organizations who have been. actually for thirty years under the bashir regime have been suppressed and there has been a very massive crackdown on ben for all of that time. thanks so much we're going to be coming back to you in just a moment to talk more about a similar story that's been unfolding in algeria thousands of demonstrators have defied right police to stage a mass protest in the capital algeria's and this is the eight friday in a row this is the interim government has announced elections in july to replace the ousted former president of the opponents say the old regime is trying to cling to power but just in a new guys. we will now try and connect

11:09 am
clashes actually the police has received the order to prevent any gathering in the collection those during the week and deliberate only the demonstration on friday but some procedures including many students have kept gathering at the chapel you know did two things go to reprise should they say that they should be allowed to protest against the rejean every day in case there's some really passionate protests and violence is even saying now presidential elections have been set for july but people aren't happy about all they have concerns about these elections and they tell us why. all right i think we may have a problem with the line. hello john the jamila can you hear us. well the protesters i interviewed yesterday told me that they will boycott the
11:10 am
election in july because they don't believe that there can be a new free election you know gloria as long as members with a few guys inner circle of healing power that the new presidential election is only a strike if he's got the political elite to maintain the status quo the demonstrators get a mind to take the streets and give their demands met and today that humans are clear they want the end of what they call the book was very into was a yes' ruling elite protesters are asking for the three d. jubilee to leave this includes interim president then and then cut their last. last probably need to move it in and the head of the constitution confident that you have been laid out all right jim and i will tend to in algiers thank you so much for speaking to us. apologies
11:11 am
for the problems with the line that we're going to go back to his. very strong similarities we're seeing here between the protests in algeria. that we were just talking about it sounds very so much of the start of the arab spring movement of the stock back in two thousand and eleven it doesn't if we remember what happened in tunisia where the arab spring sparked and also in egypt the masses of young people took the streets to demonstrate against corruption against those presidents and the king not kings but the prime ministers who been around for over thirty years and mama could definitely give was around for forty two years so yeah these young people who have grown up not seeing someone else in power than those presidents they kind of a get fed up with all of these situations there is a massive corruption a dire city a coming situation in sudan and in
11:12 am
a curious if we look at. the half. of the population there of the forty two million people there are young people and thirty percent of them almost are unemployed it's a it's a massive problem for these countries and when these people say ok we can see via social media that other countries cope with these problems in a very different way and they have a kind of a. democratic elections where care we can where they can choose who governs them why don't we have the same here. in. the past the governments could control the media they could control what these people say now they can't do this they can't cut just kind of the internet and now the young people are revolting and against these situation and i think we might try to. name it also arab spring two zero maybe this will be the
