7:36 pm
cold blood. test demonstrations have shown that this is possible so there was a deliberate desire to kill people to frighten them to put a wall of silence over guinea the protests stem from fears that incumbent president alpha condé wants to change the constitution to allow him a 3rd term in office under the current rules only adopted in 2010 his current term would be his last condo's government crackdown on dissent has international observers alarmed we do. between generally 2015 and october 2019 we have counted more than 70 people who have died in the context of demonstrations that's according to testimony as we have received but also the i mean nuisance we found on the scene. the security forces are involved in at least 59 of these deaths this is a very significant number even though we know that the mr something to me can sometimes turn violent these actually do you don't with guineas elections set for
7:37 pm
2020 amnesty international has warned of mounting human rights violations and attacks on dissenting voices committed by security forces. now african refugees in south africa have been demanding to be moved to other countries because they feared xenophobic attacks well since last month there's been a group camped outside the u.n.h.c.r. has offices in the capital pretoria business or south african president was that condemning the attacks in september no amount of anger and frustration and grievance can justify such acts off wanton destruction and criminality there can be no excuse for the attacks on the homes and businesses of foreign nationals just as they can be no excuse whatsoever for xenophobia or any form of intolerance all right well it's in
7:38 pm
baby is a south african political analyst he is also a brother to the country's former president i would make a mistake it's lovely to have you released as the we're hearing the south african president condemning the the attacks on foreign nationals of africa something that made headlines across the continent you recently wrote an opinion piece and you said it comes down to you called it's directionless political elite elaborate on that well what i was referring to was in our relations follows the relations between south africa and the rest of africa. political elite which include the president you've just seen they really have no direction as to what kind of relationship they want south africa to have with the rest of. so a whole lot of issues that should be monies properly like immigration like the more
7:39 pm
like i'm not managed properly because of this lack of direction right they're not very clear about what's out there for girls national interests. and how they should protect them so those meant by the lack of barracks ok so speaking off the political elites at you became a very critical or you were very critical. by this presidency and of jacob zuma and i think i recall you actually say questioning the relevance of policy i wonder what your thinking is today do you think the a.n.c. still available to take south africa forward and if not what what is the else hannity well the see is like many other liberation movements enough because. they fought against colonialism and i gave the party. but they're not very good to governing the country afterwards and they are no different from other liberation movements in the rest of the continent in zambia. style isn't here
7:40 pm
yet and so or so so this is one of the problems we have but just insult for it but enough for it as a whole is that the liberation potties. i don't have a clear agenda right on hollow to change the comic system the ruling elites. in the us what's at the bottom of the problem we have so i hear you but but do we also not have a problem on the continent where the electorate lacks an opposition fallback and in the case of south africa if you are talking to a black south african if it's not the a.n.c. who should they feel full. well the fate of the $200.00 to go read just the bullet to go but is in south africa so the liberty to do one of those 2 of those $200.00 political parties it doesn't it's appalling that there is that that there is no real credible opposition i mean just recently in south africa they've been
7:41 pm
issues with the main opposition party elements of racism senior black that is leaving the posse it's insinuating that racism was behind all of that doesn't it just goes to show that in as much as we criticize the liberation movements they already little alternatives for people to choose from the i don't in the us corot if you look for example it's zimbabwe or the let me give you a better example of zombie of the opposition party movement for multiparty democracy was. in zambia mainly by the trade unions but by. it won an open election and it defeated the long serving president and so it's not correct to say they had no opposition to the enough because i must interrupt here because there's one thing i want to i want to get we still talk about i have to be one of the world's most unequal societies today quickly do you think that taking land from white people to give it to black people is the only way
7:42 pm
to trace this equalities no no definitely to one day if it weren't address the qualities of love and taking land from what from am giving it to be is not a solution to suffer because inequality the we can spend for ever you and me here discussing the economic history of the political you still follow for us so that for days the cop would listen and in a couple of society small groups of capital is whether they're black or white oh don't lend own millions of production one percent of the english population own all the land in the. if you distribute to that land to the 70000000 english people you'll get a little god. in the booth and that will not be a solution to your agriculture right i hear you loud and can i wish we had both time but that is all we can do for say this when it's in bay kate thank you very
7:43 pm
