had gone weeks without receiving their food ration. their president was seen as a president that was not equipping the soldiers sent on the front line without their food rations. and so there are protests. and those protests were clamped down. most recently he dismissed several senior officers. some of them were arrested allegedly plot ago coup against him. and so it seems now that they, the military are now in charge of burkina faso. this may be a step back for democracy in a region that has seen three coup, one in guinea, the other in mali. and the other in burkina faso. but for many it's seen scene as a step forward for better secure. more man 1.5 million people have been displace and over 2,000 people have been killed on a country on the verge of chaos despite the support of forces on

the group nicholas hawk, al-jazeera for inside story. >> we'll introduce our panel in just a moment. but first, let's take a quick look at how we got here. adds nicholas mentioned attacks linked to aisle and al-qaeda displaid one and a half million people. they have been suffering losses since 2016. last december more than 50 security forces were killed in the north the continues killing offer civilians triggered demonstration against the government. military leaders complained about a lack of equipment and training. in october, their president replaced the chiefs of the arm and the air force to spread d discontent a dozen soldiers were arrested for conspiring against the government. let's bring in our guest. in akra, emmanuel quincy inning director of the peacekeeping training center and also senior

research of the nordic inst institute. and a journalist, author and former director of information apt ecos. i would like to begin in casa blanca, with you. the president has seen the writing on the wall. he did wrest. senior military leaders. but that seemingly not enough to stop a coup from happening. how much trouble is he in? >> he's in big trouble because this was as you rightly say writings on the wall. the civilian in the country but the military they want to be happy. but you remember november last year? 53 were killed in a town called inata. and the military complained that they didn't have am beau in additions and food for themselves.

to change the minister of defense. and to take charge in search. but this was too late. and indeed, there was really a race towards toppling. just two weeks ago. there was an attempt -- he was arrested by the military as he was -- until yesterday. but people including colleague of ease decide to strike yesterday. by expressing their discontent toward the president of burkina faso. and as people cheered to them. in thea city not just of whatever you are of. they -- it's emboldened.

and -- and this is the victory of putting fasto at the ever can couple of the nation. leading him to the quarter final. the military said that. this is the opportunity to see that. or somehow a laid back president unable that it was not and that's people expected to bring to -- ever since he became president in 2015. >> let's make that point to emmanuel quincy inning. burkina faso has a unique perhaps more than any other africa nation when it comes to fighting al-qaeda. there was talk that they wanted to make burkina faso the capital of the new cal fate will. y-- they're not equipped to figt

this fight. and this is why they've mounted this action. >> well, i mean, that's a good point. but it's not just about the lack of appropriate and adequate logistics. it's also about the doctrine. it'sabi -- about the leadership. and clear political leadership with a message. you know, that drives army -- and then show them that their actions are coherent. oversight of control. of assuring that as structures themselves within the army. function effectly will -- leading the way.

>> preaching across or committing atrocity that is have led to renew some of the support from the pop lace. >> there's -- the cal fate. for me it's -- there's something of the burkina government. >> well, let me take that point to our next guest. >> and who is in sweden. are we at a stage when the president is actually afraid of his own military. he was athey'd that would have good. they needed to fought that fight. and now, they're actually putting them under house arrive. you were afraid of them in the first place. >> i think it's a tricky structured to maneuver for the president. and that will get you to stand out. we have to distinguish first of all, wean the troops fightingly

the whoa. in the north of the country. and then the central militaryline. as as mr. gay says, there's been some replacements. but calling for another change of the head of the army. not of the president. so i think first of all, we have to answer the understanding of what the different factions of the arm is and question have to lead and sort of the and i don't know what it will be. but the president's talent as far as i understood he's app appointed new leadership within the armed forces now that seem to be sort of a group formerly referred to adds de-boys who were loyal to the state during the attempted coup of 2015. and he may have storage of mamar-- that are not reacting to

being central to power. so it's a very complicated structure and a very complicated game the president has had to play there. >> would you agree that the facts around the seamer a big driver of what we're seeing? there is this farmer the north that is not happy with the leadership. would you say that that's true? >> yeah, that's true. and also this is come pound by the factorritually division in terms of advantages given to what we consider them mexican germ in the airplane. >> we've been benefiting from the resources of the state. where is the lower rank. people would talk. actually he didn't benefit from it. this is a. it was not properly managed before mr. kavoi cam to calling.

after the demize of some in october. 1987 is giving by the people surrounding the presidenter president, the country for some how. sometimes we have were combinations. we and there is far more jihadists by the previous president. and they managed to. they put away putting up fasto that were affected by this plague of jihadist and. but now, what has happened ever since mr. caboli. a really person. -- but ininrent. >> the programs have been

multiplied 1.5 burkina people who will leave as disdisplayed people within the country. are you have family in the country. you add it to be difficult. and the military is this -- this. or do you think that after you come pointedded the program and main it unterrible. [enter] for many year, but it's not the. that mr. and there's a clear policy that the military would follow. he was wanting to make sure that anybody who was in power intermediately would be insure of that >> they wweed so fard. groomed. >> eko made some tapes. >> they've been describing it as an attempt cool. >> the army is tonightable for

the the leadership of kabore. they have to see rapid change in this situation. >> is anybody go to be learning about o.k.c.? emmanuel? >> this sounds better like, petition the same -- >> represent to guinea. >> i think the primary elements here, at the demo dem remdesivi. and the abled to those to have a handle or the multiplicity. come. and for echo us to play hacine. of not knowledging including more including, aopen, die

lastic lost of government. there wouldn't be much more policing. the democratic has changed. people are -- they are demanding government that speaks to the challenge that is they face on a daily basis. and we've learned quite a lot about the real i.c.eic challenge of all people. >> i think putin echo as his leadership? >> must be sensity to their drive forces of the majority of need people in the sub region. i mean if -- he was frustrate. but with sew fiment i want to know what is happening this day

whilst -- and wreak havoc. >> rhett me bring that point to jess per janson. >> is it a player in inn this particular scenario or like i said our guest just said it's statement that is we've heard before and they're notaries they'd nateing to the people. >> if question look at what reco outraising to rem impose himself. when it comes to sort of -- sort of -- in molly trying to convince mill tire untet to hand over power to government. but they're criticize of being a president's club where you know, the heads of state are countries with questionable democratic records are looking out for each other rather than looking out for their populations.

ecoo pass has a problem that we deal with i do think these kinds of statements are necessary as a minimum. er i not making -- after a potential military take over would be the worst. i don't think this would bees were. but they would have to work hard to deserve credibility in the yeas of west africa people in general. >> i would say. >> >> is he sending out an s.o.s. right now? >> no, it's credibility. you decided against a country that is almost going down the drain has been rejected by the population across not just west african. but across. they are there just for

themselves. why didn't they real when -- when he couldn't clean. he was killing people, demanding demox se. why don't they -- when sudan east people. and -- and now, they're coming time to mention to power people and the ordinary citizens do not like. >> as a fo form -- the changingm greatic with youngsters coming up. knowing what you want in the world an and that demand. >> or the head of state. so this is something they need to act and act not. then open up the fierce that they do not and -- people do pay attention drew.

he's been in power for almost six years. and the program has been wolfing. >> well, we will get there that. >> i -- we will get into that but i do want to bring in, sorry. >> let's talk about the -- let's talk about the other organization before we get into how long the president has been powerful. where is the african union in all of this? do they have a role to play? >> they've always had a role to play. but the structure of the relationship ben where you are and this community here is called communities. >> being the first. >> that's to respond to the challenge that burkina faso has phas fasto. >> -- where it is based.

but they realized the challenge. i served -- how do we assure that we have these two that are responsive and sensitive to the needs of people. >> when you have the protect tray tickically shift. and i know it proceeds but the generality of the populace that they need as understanding and their perception. and it's purely to be plat feud now. we saw across immediatings in a cross with full -- so you said it -- impression that's a lack of intelligence r. we seem to have lost emmanuel. we will come back to you. >> you have e.c.o.s.

they're playing without thiser entire. you also don't have a general of mishalf none of this is silver bullet overnight the future for burkina fast sole be a military almost failed state schurrlery. >> well, let's -- let's hope for the best i would say. lets's first see what happens in tin. it's a complete military take other. i would look back to the population uprising of 2014. and to say that even before the regional jihadist terrorism became such an important problems. the country was facing a very step transition from the 27 rule from paris. and that challenge was then

compounded by the sort of the -- the -- -- o so already at that time when mr. come he came into power, that was a central -- and i think he's realistic in the promises he's made but of course, any -- any head of state would -- would struggle to keep their promises under those conditions. so what he has failed dramatically, of course, is communicating. they were not possibly to keep. the question of whether we're heading towards a military state now, i think we should be very careful about no mallizing military rule in the region. think that's a -- that's a first chi point now. -- continent and international

to keep pressure on any military act of stepping forward and. they find they're way back from military rule if this is a military takeover. >> we tholed not normalize military coups. but there is a scenario. maybe. that this might be a good things because of the jihadist. they face in the forth of in the country. >> and clearly, that's an international objective. it doesn't have anything to do with the people of helping them. but it is an enter national is there. >>a response that is actually good. >> yeah, there's something undemocratic of the nick. -- and many in africa are looking to turkey, china, russia

because they're living some countries as -- no. you have to take intoer -- this is not the first time, the military. i remember he let me to subway. he was a military in the 17. there was another military. and then in the 1980's, there was thomas sakara. >> and then police -- so this is not something new in the history of burkina faso. >> the problem is, you can't call countries to demand for a similar rule to be in place when those similar rules once they come to power they -- themselves and privatize the resources of their countries and ask not for

the common good. and this is the problem. because i remember, i was in june 1999. when they then only you decided to insure that the vision of leaving the management of the countries. but it is against -- it would vert. that they would insure. inti greated of of the company. >> and the and don't be surprised that more military from the african youngs terse and opinion makes in fran says would enter into the political fray because they like the other jeff said, the africa union and other african organizations they are absent out of the scene and you have the nations of the musician do not under degree sell yourself.

in general, to say finished. >> thank you to all of our guests. and thank you too for watching. you can see the program any time but visiting our website, al-jazeera.com. go tour facebook page. that's face docback.com ajstop story. our handle is at a.j. inside story. bye for now.
