you. know nothing at the germans because somebody down plays them nothing with the . big stink into the german culture. you don't see him taking his grandmother to you because it's all that who care enough time rachel join me for me to get funky healthy host. this is the date of the news africa coming up on the program fears of escalation in modern us protesters return to the streets to demand that the president resigns but he's refusing so what is the we also being. then we need an x. convict in cameroon who is treating prisoners to make face masks to protect themselves against the current of virus. it's a release for against time after leeds in uganda hoping to get back on track after the current virus.

your welcome to the program police in mali fired tear gas on the water cannon to display as hundreds of protesters who had occupied and spends the night in the square in the capital bamako thousands took to the streets demanding there was ignition of president brahimi. is the 1st such mass gathering since july when demonstrators called a temporary halt to the accompanying 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 abraham. they accuse him of incompetence and corruption and of running money into the ground. never gets us up but that's

a trick haitian system fish review bat and our health system it's completely broken up nothing is working. in all areas things are not going well. good at going to the bottom. that was going 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 leisure because they're put on. 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 i was going to you know if he does not listen to us he will see what i swear to god he will see but let us 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 unaddressed fearing it could harm to fight against jihadist violence and that instability could spread. and joining me now is. a list 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 is ignition of the president when will look like a duck and i saw calling for a 3 year reversion of the electoral results or during the parliamentary elections in in there made in march and april of this year so the situation is. very tense right now because there is a mediation 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 arrogant organization and the government and the main movement calling for the resignation of president and weinberger there which is a move of the year function 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. right now you might echo ask. me and have called for setting up a government of national unity but the protest movement rejected that's what's the way forward then. i think. there needs to be a continued dialogue between the government and the movement to one job and got 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 the plunger are in the government front so right now we have 6 minutes of and the prime ministers like most of the ministers are holding a port for years that are suffering to portfolio such as finances and their funds

and justice so it might be very critical and very challenging for the movement sung's want to accept to join a government where most of the most important props for years are only taken by the government but there needs to be a sustained at that angle because that is on the way forward and that probably a bit of confusion from the sites to move the situation for. our clearly this is a very how much about it back or us cannot solve this how can the african union to get involved. so if it was going to solve this we might see and into rendered by the african union based on the principle of subsidiarity but. the situation is very tense and as the year movements language 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. very adamant on asking for the resignation of president and when will get 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. international's west africa speaking to the ongoing protest in mali a situation we keep monitoring. so facemasks like beasts and i was sensual lifesaving. in coming before my prison eyes helping those inside to protect themselves against a virus michael spends 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 at his community. prison
