8:32 pm
they want to civilian government not the announcer sake up of the military command council isn't enough. on friday the former right hand off also the president of the shia defense minister i want moment even though wolf stepped down as the head of the transitional council after only one day as head of state. and today slater on sunday the army finally announce a way statement of a possible transition to civilian government whatever. we want from you and we wish that everybody reaches an agreement in a short period of time we need to find an agree on an independent on the national figure to become prime minister. no timeline given no names in the ring the role of the army remains unclear instead the appointment of another military figure
8:33 pm
to a key position. the most out of them notes the appointment of a new intelligence chief. must stop. on monday five thousand people blocked an attempt by the army to break up of the protest camp outside the defense ministry this after the army brought in tricked us to move the barricades. the fall off amal bashir is the latest in a wave of changes sweeping away many of africa's longest serving rule is just days before bashir was pushed out of office abilities bushehr feet off algeria was ousted off to weeks of protests the military eventually turned on the eighty two year old and he was forced to resign after nearly two decades in power before which if you call was zimbabwe's rabbit mugabe who was removed from office in twenty seventeen off to thirty four gives the difference here is there were no protests at
8:34 pm
least not the kind we've seen in algeria and so done but it's the military was instrumental in helping the faction of mugabe's party that cross it his i'll step now among africa's remaining long serving the poor bia of cameroon the eighty six year old one who lost his presidential election with and with thirty seven years in office is currently the longest ruling non royal leader in the world uganda's un with seventy trails not too far behind at thirty three is in office now my guest today wrote an opinion piece he titled africa extinction of the dinosaurs in the article published in all africa dumisani malaya says it's the end of an era for african dictators the journalist and political commentator joins me now from zimbabwe's capital. welcome to. africa mr mayor we've seen a pass in here of military intervention. in terms of these long ruling leaders
8:35 pm
and you've written that elections in many countries in africa are a mere charade so for the countries that are still holding these long ruling leaders are protests and then military intervention looking like the only way change can come about in these countries. it is the phenomena of military intervention in this country is in this african countries as we have seen in the in zimbabwe in algeria in the sudan it's fundamentally a product of a failed electoral process is failed to look for systems. of people have been given so many opportunities to vote and tried to express themselves and they should change in their countries those systems failed them and as a result you see in the intervention of the military in. algeria in zimbabwe before
8:36 pm
that. is primarily because the person who sees the electoral process is not sleazy to mates they have made a sharp raids and the people when they fail to free the expression of all those processes they end up to bring up with the military in order to effect change ok but you sort of alluded in that opinion piece you sort of teaming up with the military to baria woods as an unconstitutional removal of the dictators and then you say that that makes the transition from dictatorship to democracy complicated are you saying that that's what we see in algeria and sudan and what is the prospect of democracy for these countries. yeah it makes it very complicated because when the military gets involved in the politics to begin with the some democrats say it is unconstitutional although it is desirable because most of these people join forces with the military to overthrow a dictator as they would have been tied into the electoral process is that
8:37 pm
a failing there would have been a person in failed leadership and failed economic policies for a long time so they end up. in the process of teaming up with the military you create a new problem because when you overthrow the constitution your vote or the dictator has now you free is a huge challenge of how do you sort of station from due to. the democrats are. very by definition democratic when they get involved in politics they will do things the way they are nor best which is the way and the way. presumably the zimbabwe rightly starts. by the heavily militarized that is why you are having a very difficult transition because the military is it's not a democratic institution they would really want to. remember in the first place the involved primarily because they wanted to solve a. problem. with their position. so they
8:38 pm
were not in the first place to democratize the process so that. this experience is because of the real reason why they were involved in the first place which was to themselves of preservation and. i want to get to my other question here and that is in this piece that i'm referencing you talk about now being this full of dictators this is this is the end of the era you say and i'm i'm wondering why you use years so adamant about now being the time given the fact that we have seen dictators in other countries for libya for example why you adamant about now being the time. now it is time to time for dictators to really watch because there's a new dynamic that is great one day the new dynamic is people power if you could just see if you wanted to break through the arab spring you saw a wave of uprising is in north africa into the middle east the people taking the
8:39 pm
power into the on on his to confront the dictators so one of them i'm in egypt who was a long serving dictates i was invited he was overthrown during that period and we also saw the same situation happening in tunisia so when people begin to feel that they can be able to effect a change to uprisings through the streets the politics of the streets about them they will be by a lot but to introduce a new dynamic and that new demand dynamic was seen playing itself out in zimbabwe algeria and also don so it is clear that we now have different kinds of politics who brought a kind of pull it was playing also in africa and the fact is written in dictators are crossed because i would leave the remaining in power journalist and political commentator descend from how that is about we thank you. it's a month since. the south east africa the storm killed more than one thousand people in mozambique and malawi and people are still missing as
8:40 pm
