and beethoven is for. beethoven is for covering 1. $82020.00 vision in 50th anniversary year on d w. the for. this is didn't use africa coming up on the program fears of escalation in mali just as for potential streets to demand that the president resigns but he's refusing so what is the way out of the impasse. that we meet on x. convicts incomers and who's training in prison as to make face must protect themselves against the cruel enough virus out and. it's a race against time athletes in uganda up hoping to get back on track after the kohen are virus locked out.

i. your welcome to the program police in mali fired tear gas on the water cannon to dispatch hundreds of protesters who had occupied and spends the night in the square in the capital bamako thousands took to the streets demanding the resignation of president abraham buck akeda is the 1st such mosque authoring since july when demonstrators called a temporary halt to accompany me to oust the president. stepped back with a vengeance. thousands of demonstrators filled the streets of the capital bamako to demand the resignation of president even him. they accuse him of incompetence and corruption and of running money into the ground. never gets upset about but that's

a good education system fish review bat and our health system it's completely broken nothing is working. in all areas things are not going well. good i'm going to the bottom that. was we're going to hell no one is listening to us and the country is so badly managed the country's really badly managed that's why i'm asking the president to step down and leave power so that people can live in peace their job is there but i think that. the protesters are also angry at the president's failure to end fighting between jihadist groups and ethnic militias in the north and center of the country. violence there has killed nearly 2000 people in the 1st 6 months of this year alone. one opposition figure determined to bring about change is saudi trained him out because. for the time being he

appears to be urging his supporters to be calm and patient suggesting there may be a way out of the impasse without the president being forced to resign. you know wolf one of. these he does not listen to us he will see what i swear to god he will see but let's be no rush we will win this victory but in a peaceful way. the others are sticking to their demands efforts of mediation by echo was also so far been unsuccessful the opposition rejected their proposal for a unity government as a way of diffusing the crisis yet other countries are increasingly worried about mali sliding into chaos if the protesters demands are addressed fearing it could harm the fight against jihadist violence and that instability could spread. and joining me now is. honesty international's west africa researcher and political

scientist but also thanks for joining us 1st tell us how critical is the situation in mali. situation in money is very critical because for 3 months now and there have been demonstrations calling for a year or resignation of the president when will that arcade up and i saw calling for a 3 year reversion of the electoral results or during the parliamentary elections in in their may in march and april of this year so the situation is. very tense right now because there is an. economic community of west african states that has been ongoing for 2 months and there doesn't seem to be agreement between the rest african irregular organization the government and the main movement calling for the resignation of president and when we're going to get there which is a move of the year are and it is even more critical because during the demonstrations of the 11th and 12th of july at least 11 people were killed by the

security forces and hundreds were injured and that is still a contentious issue as i speak. now you mentioned there are costs there are now called for setting up a government of national unity but the protest movement rejected it what's the way forward then. i think there needs to be a continued battle between the government and the movement to some job and echo what has to continue to mediate between the parties because we have a mini government in monied since a few weeks ago following a mediation by echo us and the government has been trying to open the. and to include members of the opposition in the movement to one drop in the government at the front so right now we have 6 minutes of and the prime minister is like most of the ministers are holding out for years that are suffering to port for your search of finances and their friends and justice so it might be very critical and very

challenging for the movement songs want to accept to join a government where most of the most important props for years are already taken by the government but there needs to be a sustainable angle because that is on the way forward and that probably a bit of confusion from the year 2 states to move the situation for. in our clearly this is a very how much about if the course cannot solve this how can the african union to get involved. so if it was going to solve this we might see an intervention by the african union based on the principle of subsidiarity but. the situation is very tense and as the year move want to plunge want and the government doesn't seem to be willing to work to make concessions we might be going into a more a a clash between the different parties because of the joint is very adamant on asking for the resignation of president and when we look at it up and known to have

been asking for the resignation of the prime minister dr was he said and the government hasn't shown any willingness to accede to any of those of those of those of those demands by the movement to change our. honest international's west africa research speaking to us there about the ongoing protest in mali a situation we keep monitoring. so 1st masks like these and i was sent to show lifesaving commodities in cameroon a former prison i was helping those still inside to protect themselves against coronavirus michael tast ben's almost 20 years in jail and knows how easy it is for the virus to spread in such conditions so he's now training prisoners to make face masks and has become a sort of hero in his community. prison
