sound old doc film today with a focus on algeria as well have an update for you. out of the top. for you very much for watch. it's their story their very own personal drama. the people who survived the catastrophe remember. and they share private footage with us that has never been seen decide. to chernobyl starts april 28th on t w. starting

in february $21000.00 each week millions of algerians took to the streets to protest their country's all for a tarion rulers and unprecedented movement rouse the nation that seems to have lost faith in itself. no one expected this algerian revolt in the streets known here as here. iraq but it

swept the country from iran to algiers the from on about to thomas say like a giant block party. police repression threats of chaos political pressure. for a tarion military regime in power for more than half a century since algerian independence tried everything but nothing could suppress the peaceful iraq movement. and in the much year of demonstrations i never would have imagined things would go this far i am sick now we don't know where this is all going so we know we have to challenge them. goodness is i know they haven't heard it all my life but they've always sat up in their ivory towers they don't know what. i i. don't we don't want to give up we want to live in step with modern times

despite our beliefs my clinical or rather that no matter what he's believing. i. i i. feb 22nd 2019 tens of thousands defied a long standing ban on protests in the capital to oppose president. his decision to run for office yet again. across the country algerians took to

the streets to say no to a potential 5th term. lenders we didn't really understand what was happening on february 22nd when not they just had guy was on call that night then i came home and went to bed. i had heard rumors about a demonstration but i didn't believe it like everyone else i was a bit disheartened and i thought we were powerless and there was no way out. but then around 2 or 3 in the afternoon my mother booked me up and said they're demonstrating people are demonstrating song and destruction much less tell that's exactly what it can do every 20 seconds meant to me. an awakening. isn't this event you are in 22nd most stay in my mind forever. it's a great memory a huge amount of emotional me. just as i make speak it i will never be able to describe how i felt at that moment it was of redemption.

given this is really what i headed out that day with very dim hopes that i thought there'd be maybe 50 or a 100 of us and we'd all get arrested he. told me she loves ritual i gave her friend some money and said take that and if i get arrested try to bribe a police. officer to let me go i can't stay locked up. you can make these i mean although i was sitting with friends in a cafe and we were following to hear out on social media. people across the country were sharing it it to them cool we saw a live stream or something big happening in to c o's 2 and if so we went there and joined in a lot of people were there and more kept coming it was huge how did you feel it was

great that. the crowd was made up of every section of society to all social classes men and women for the 1st time we were seeing algerians and had different lives a year or 2 from i. was was. only 10 years for the 1st time we all had a common goal here from good luck was was the week. i. was born it's until then we were just getting by now we had the prospect of a future she didn't have oh no she was we're fed up we had enough she was good we want our children to live in a prosperous algeria i developed algeria. they've robbed us of everything

they've broken everything. look what they've done to algiers look how devastated it is look we just want our algeria back she said to. the was there was i saw the money. i have to live with this revolution enabled everyone to. the appropriate their country to reappropriate algeria we realize it belongs to us all. i. told him when they marched in against a 5th term it was amazing because most people in a political they don't give

a damn to me one. i. will clear the most self-aware generation of algerians to come along since the war for independence. and we're stubborn. seanie. the algerians won independence in 1962 after a long war against colonial france the algerians over their freedom to the national liberation front or f.l.n. . as of 2019 the f.l.n. had been in power for 57 years an oppressive regime systematically plundering the country's wealth resources and heritage the algerian people gradually lost faith in

democracy since its independence algeria has suffered a number of tragedies in the 1990 s. the government fond of brutal civil war against a radical islamist insurgency government forces eventually won but not before as many as 200000 civilians have been killed the black decade as it is called hans algerians today unless it gets your knee deep in the war with an experience that turned my whole life upside down and you call my life probably would have been a very different. if they hadn't murdered my father don't have it but i seen him up there. in 1996 when honea was 3 years old terrorists shot her father on the street in the casbah way as a former policeman he was a prime target in those dark years. ago

but i'm not and my father reminds me why i'm here a question. for them because no matter what happens you have to keep fighting and keep living. the city and then they keep him if he was a man who loved life and lived as he saw fit he did ask me a look he was a man who stood up for single women too so he was everything terrorists hated. so no more shit i'm 26. i was born when the terrorism reached its zenith and i grew up under go to flicka. uniquity i use the only presidents i've ever known. it was a reign based on terror he justified his being there by having brought peace he

said i'm the man of peace and if i go terrorism will return a crisp killing. after being sworn in as the new president in 1999 beautifully kept his promise to bring the conflict to an end. a painful national reconciliation provided amnesty to insurgents who handed in their weapons. beautifully completed 4 terms keeping an iron grip on the country even after suffering a stroke in 2013 that left him too fragile to campaign his legacy consisted of voting fraud and corruption. destroy lives really simple which at 1st it was great our savior had come visit the country was at peace and we could move around and travel we can finally breathe that's how the 1st years were all streets so too big government projects began popping up everywhere and we thought great who cares if he has another term. after that. it was just dec nation and

weeks is ages from. then it was announced that 81 year old abdelaziz bouteflika would seek a 5th term with the election scheduled for april 29000 the head of the f.l.n. launched the head of states campaign with a painting of him for many algerians this was the last straw. i. i. i. i. and that's true. you know for 3 put up with poverty and corruption sure is a may but we were prepared to be mocked to prove specific

comment it was really degrading for our president to be campaigning for a 5th time in that situation after 20 years they've been as we didn't know any other leader with. their corruption had reached its climax and the government was deteriorating there was a complete void and we were afraid of having both of the other book. i should say i must say i'm just 28 years i feel tired drained irritated and i feel more like 40 you have to fight so hard to meet your basic needs. you have to justify yourself time. if you want to have a drink you have to hide it that's. can't live with someone without getting married . this country damages you me love me it wastes your time and energy angeles

only know it suppresses you when it drains you if you did it on you feel like you're just meandering until you die. just couple i was going to watch this is that you get so desperate to spend it all you have left is hope that's your shows keep it to see only thing keeping you going is hope for something different simple enough in the cold you dockside on we've all experienced the dark side with its massacres corruption poverty misery and dirty ness we know how to live with it and survive feel about it how about we try a new way we didn't have much left to lose just ourselves but with this revolution we found ourselves again we found out who we really are we shall feel what to fail

not with who they feel need to they had lost. it's all 3 of what most people follow what's happening it used to be just retired people in cafes in the activities here and there people but now everyone is getting political it's wonderful so someone. like you how's it going through now that you i'm good i'll be listening.

thank you so. much. this is a letter to the president. mr president i don't want to be offensive but when did you last talk to your grandkids where were your eloquent speeches you held like heroes when did algeria my love become a 0 and how about my brothers crossing the see if they've gone through hell but you just don't want to see you can do anything but your system is corrupt your legislators are against you don't care about the youth. so that's not an insult it's just the truth. because it's why i have to write this in silence as you see this you know. i don't think the problem is the person sitting on the throne. throne itself.

and what this man represents. he stands for an entire ecosystems. he's achieved such media presence that he's seen as a saint but he's just an effigy. 1234 and someone else will come but the represent the same system. doesn't finish itself. exactly. so what is the problem. and it's much deeper and more complicated. it's not about swapping one president for another civil it's about morals. so i think i'm kidding 25 it's quite hard to be a woman in this world if you with stereotypes many little aggressions on here

observe more closely than men. who want the slightest slip up and the whole society judges us much more than they do a man we are cut less slack and. there's a controlling more culturally added society women have a much harder time claiming their rightful place of family and it is why they are often attacked and 2nd guess critics no matter in what millions actually mean young women young whether you're a member of the world of the so-called democrats or you move in a more conservative sphere that don't exist that women are always under more pressure than men you could definitely take the family code for instance it only applies to us who could not find the family code states that women always have to subjugate themselves up on clutch they can't marry without a man's permission as well so we are watched our entire lives but i think.

i i. was i. was. i was. born. both. like sonia many women took to the streets as part of the here rock movement all indeed algerian women have taken part in all the protest movements and wars in the

country and with this popular uprising some women feel they've been able to carve out a new place for themselves in society their job need to get used to being go home or hear places in the kitchen or. you shouldn't be a mystery with the men should i and i found the now to be at the point when it was normal for us to be outside this is a huge step forward. and then the 2 men in the past weeks the men even called on the women to join the marches because they were needed in numbers and you know women really play a central role in this revolution. now men are learning to listen to women a woman can talk a lot because they finally understand women have ideas women can talk about politics and things that are important to everyone including men which a couple politicians because it's great and remember. is just like. i want to

define some deductions i have women as opinion leaders with many followers on social media to have people listen when they talk like what they say they found the same things that these women they stand for opinions political movements ideas it's a good thing and a big step forward. and. he's a plus women have started to take their place to both pledged citizens for tony just like any other algerian it's why you know we are all citizens now you know rather we're learning to be citizens minded and that's quite remarkable in itself. and they can be sure they were absent our citizens now we've decided to demand our

citizenship back with a simple as that of his son because. her . bruce i was. most by how humorous the slogans worth. living near the 1st one was from a young woman who signed said which if you don't even have the support of my bra.

i. was i was i. answered your plea for taking back the streets before me i saw young and old whole families marching up so that people were able to speak more freely again for algeria it was astounding that we're like the north korea of africa was that was that was you can even watch my money event that really made an impression on me the card announcing our share we were marching and we were surrounded by slavic fundamentalists i'm just now stood together yelling the same slogans with the same goal of him in the object. oh are all united the people against the traders the

algerian people we are all united the people against the trader the okemos i never got any nasty looks and wasn't cursed at jimmy his crew i wondered if we could ever have imagined you can be in this situation one day was one of those and she transformed by was still a lot of talk taught us to take an interest in each other people from care about to be less have be less care about shall we it's remarkable. thank you oatmeal a plane us. plane. like the loads of leagues

candidacy for a 5th term woke up the youth after over a month of protests he stepped down as president. in algiers ecstatic crowds celebrated booed of league as ouster and demanded total systemic change thank you ok. thank you l.m.'s such. a feeling generous there's a lot of help old one of the strongest dictatorships in africa and you've got to look at what if there was a dictator to fix and guy along with millions of others which made him feel so small that we threw him out. he immediately humiliation he suffered was worse than any humiliation he made for.

the hit i commit but i don't see that here rock is a revolution it is yet so old that the paradigms or shake the very core of the algerian system it more late bloomer where you drew one. sees the namely the military's eye and grip on our politics sure sure the plate after step down the cracks in our democracy appeared and we saw who really was in charge of the military and shows the general ahmed qaid selloff head of the algerian army a staunch supporter of beautifully nonetheless urged him to resign then took over

the role of algeria strongman himself a self-styled defender of the nation the law held power until the end of 2019 when he died at age 79 to. study and was put in office by the military former president was a soldier who mogens a 10 unit death and d.n. was a soldier too. sad to really to me tell they were all from the military. that is to stop. while still alive some laws tried to appease the demonstrators by throwing beautifully because cronies in prison the tactic failed the general was still seen as a member of the former president's clan as the head of the army so law was the face of the very algerian system the people wanted to overthrow the general tried other

methods to break the back of the iraq movement he made it illegal for demonstrators to wave the berber flag an important symbol for algeria as indigenous ethnic minority the cut deal people i the regime hoped this would divide algerians instead the flag became a mark of solidarity. i think the police arrested dozens of young people on charges of conspiracy against the national unity for flag waving government repression grew increasingly intense but the beautifully good generation had lost its fear of. official from 2 in the afternoon to 5 pm the police are usually quite peaceful they said it's been that way for you here now and you go out in the morning and you get rounded up by the cops ok then they tear gas you asked for $500.00.

i. i i i i i. rhodri i wouldn't go so far as to call the current situation a dictatorship but it's a totalitarian regime that. does just them a crook commit on national and i would call it a mafia like sister and i will quote there is underhanded scheming and corruption and they act like a gang. to trample caste but i wanted to

become a lawyer in order to be an activist passports because the most effective activists are lawyers who sets the rules if it enables you to defend people to stand up for justice to understand what people are subjected to to control should it allows you to express yourself at the whims of capacity to explain make. people see they will see i primarily deal with political cases and prisoners and i see incredible things involved and therefore the inquiry. africa's question when i delve into a case on my desk i realize the justice system is rotten to the core there is no free decision making. to do this you know in the simplest cases you can see there has been intervention from a higher level to reach a certain verdict than you know for them a little more careful planning. sometimes

i just. did it to sophia baba see was one of the people that doc did prior to the presidential elections in december. and i live months he had been at a nighttime demonstration supposedly waving a flag and berber or build flag. said that's why he was hunted down and the rest it

was officially it was just an excuse to arrest him which journal it they have it to apply with what a lot of young people have been arrested for no reason get charged with conspiracy against the national unity that's why he was abducted from his home could not pay but when i visited him in prison with my 2 colleagues he looked wretched. we could see the signs of torture he had undergone have all these all there were even by mosques how their dogs and it's a lot more coming up the story about what he had been through it was really a terrible time truculence for me. get a man of the house for the whole show. we're going to visit him always it's the 1st time for me seeing him since he got out of prison by an influx of support from the monks are like that because something is wrong. when i.

was on the near. the view they brought me a stack of printouts it was all my facebook posts which meant they had been observing me for a while. then the police inspector came in. i think it was the inspector he came in but didn't talk to me he just looked at me then punched me in the eye. so then he pushed me. i asked why are you hitting me he said you deserve to die we shouldn't let you live i should slit your throat. they grabbed me while i was a bit out of it and put my fingerprints under the report. i didn't do it myself. in

fact i had said i wouldn't do so without seeing my lawyer. so they did everything they could to get me in prison because. did you think they'd ever let you go. to be honest no. i was lying in prison and heard a knock on the door someone said see you can go. i was completely astounded. if one is a decision defending one's convictions is a noble cause and most importantly it gives you pride in this as a my message to the rest of the world it is easy to defend your ideas don't give up . do you have to fight for your convictions without fear or hesitation.

cause the most important thing is to do no harm. to. the algerian regime knows it's illegitimate she did not in order to create a list of a sea of sorts they must constantly show superior like they have the power to suppress. this old lead to screw. it. this way of looking down on the people helps compensate for their lack of legitimacy. was. i was. there. the. i. was. i was the was the was.

i. 2019 shortly before his death gen succeeded in holding presidential elections. there were 5 candidates the former owner was 74 year. old i'm down to boone who under beautifully had been a minister multiple times and even briefly served as prime minister. at the time of the election to boon son was in jail on cocaine charges i thus the regime responded to the heroic movements demand for change with more of

the same. i but the people in the streets stood their ground saying the election was fraudulent they called for a boycott the new president took office none the less i was was i. i was i was i was from the moment i personally thought there'd be a real jolt hoping us to overcome the traumas of alcohol but i gradually notice that wasn't the case i personally don't think it will happen anymore you know i've

lost face of but from what i see back where we started. opened a different luxury in algeria will change but not yet i have less and less faith to be honest i'm fortunately i'm talking about an event that i've yet to experience and i don't think i will. are young people in algeria happy. the question is an important one. half of the country's 40000000 residents are under 30. the popular uprising awoke real hope. many young people are no longer trying to leave the country at all costs. but other young people continue to flee attempting to reach europe in makeshift rafts. they are driven by oppressive corruption cronyism and nepotism as well as

a 26 percent unemployment rate among 16 to 24 year olds. mehdi an unemployed construction engineer is struggling as well. as richard i went to study in france and spent 2 years there and france i realized how little i knew about my own country and at the same time i realized how much i loved it it was i spent time with moroccans tunisians and french people and they all knew algeria better than i did some of them mentioned the roman ruins i didn't know there were roman ruins in algeria that was a slap in the face. of huge initial closures she additionally i wanted to get a business going to create jobs to put my bit of know how to use to invest and live

here but everything has fallen apart since i returned in 2014 it's not the same algeria anymore i barely recognize it. i can't imagine growing old and algeria anymore and it's sad i tried everything to come back and make it here but i failed i don't want to wither away here that's the word that comes to mind and it's sad but what should i say that's just how it is. the more i have the day you want to educate was my dream to live in algeria built my house here fight for my convictions here spend time in the mountains of to believe. sumach but the lack of freedom makes me want to leave the country to no more to simply. switch from the world of the because i can't imagine raising children it out cheerio vision of i want them to grow up in

a land where they feel free and can live out their dreams with their joys a useful view where they can have their fantasies they can express their convictions freely scrimmaged they should be able to move freely through the world secondly you will know it's sad isn't it because he's very sad. i want you both if we want i used to consider leaving. it was a viable option for me. and actions but if i manage to live here the way i want to drill i don't need to leave you have one that are you i'm a doctor and i want to help my fellow citizens so i'm still optimistic for. of course some will say i'm naive. hearing that a lot lately was this have done it but i have faith in us if. only 5 little also but we. all say it again and we're fighting for life that

will get life. this is a new era in the history of algeria that a few simple i'd like to believe it's the nicest and most important and. we're. edge attorney and generation we know what we want and we won't give up. this shit like she did yeah i think addicted to their safe become our drug. elna truth we have all the time we need. on that we have the time. the willpower and the rage we have everything we need. to cut. was good looking. i was. close.
