a former french intelligence agent who served in the region hit by the arab spring shares his views on what's happening there. well today we're joined by blood money to feed is a former member of the french intelligence services also an offer and the founder of the group yes for teaching the intelligence is a kurd center it's a brussels based think tank specializing auto as a security issues thanks very much for the symbolically for joining us today you spent a lot of time before the middle east so looking at the arab spring did you see it coming where you were expecting this and how much of it. is a product of people going against the the person governments and how much of it as some governments claim has been fueled from the outside would produce so things which are really pretty going to go right through the very book without. took the fall no we didn't see arriving we knew clearly that there was

a lot of programs in. in them in the middle east and in the arab world in north africa run of poverty social problems with drugs problems problem of the you use without and going on and so on and on and we knew that something was burning. but we were much more the folks who was on the probably on the he's got he's a musician don't the risk of a so-called arab spring. when the top. and we when we saw the mechanic for we understood that it would be a large and. deep shock not only for the oblong the but all the world at the beginning but it really was just what it was a desperation assume people wanting to know every normal life if you exhibit here

in egypt for instance if you take the toughest were at the beginning you very young people graduates most of them most of them into growth of the united states some of them were trained in the united states were funded the united states into one which is a clear and very liberal idea of the feudal the only such things is that it didn't happen in the western world but in the country where the bodyguards and there were different and we had this people coming from the destroyed the we the people you have the feudal and everything was like it but at the end of the day by dishonest by the muslim brothers you see this as a friend in the region where newtown police coming into power in. iraq personally you we saw a long time before the hearing from election day. the only possibility is to have the most embarrassing us first but if you've got

a formation in egypt i mean everything else to us just in both because you have a very poor society. allows people who are just not able to read the newspaper. in a bright month number saw everything was in place predicts or missed in itself and not a democrat he sure in the. in the same in tunisia. and just seen from our c.n.n. yes we're looking at the syrian crisis it is complicated and it's far from over and we've heard the last of turkey talking about starting a no fly zone and we've also heard from the french defense ministry center france is willing to help in looking at this effort do you think this is where it's headed a similar reagan scenario is a no fly zone i can he very clearly no one. of the western world the one the one to go in syria but maybe at one point it would be in both even to avoid the reut i

don't think so but it's possible if we go into syria i think it would be a nightmare. but we'll see. for the moment we don't see any clear. evolution in syria it seems that it's clearly the government going to two in. particular tools. so to look for the moment you have just kidding after hitting and this. bomb stepped up bombs. and no mercy for consideration because of the base of the problem you don't have the problem of the of course you have a problem of democrats and so yes but it's not the main point the main point it's a problem with between the sunni and the you know it's which i think percent of the population do. needing to contract for twenty years yes and the sunni which are

seventy five percent say no it's enough we don't want to anymore but indeed it's not stick somebody or it's not kids on the in the middle east. today in syria for the low it's losing the poor losing their grip on the poor means dying. i not sure that the two mediums i know it's already got to die so didn't ignore the show's done keeping the power. with the support by doing of the questions you have to me on the i know it's into millions of fish from the question very clearly and said yes supporting the power because the fear. if they fear to have some problems when the sunni will run the country like defend no christian in egypt is the missing brother from them another. today and that us the christian in iraq.

today it seemed to be clear that you cannot be. in the midst of moving. i mean yes you can be a single christian and nobody probably would have to you cannot have a missed christian organized community which it pretty. with the most fame and with the possibility to have wanted to go activity in the midst of the world today i mean the muslim world today all despite the tough words of some of the western leaders of our allies and sadly for syria you still feel that they don't really want to go to syria on a full military still what do you think is holding up we know we think and the only duffing that syria could be was done and i think basically they are right because we need to get six million people in here yeah we have a. big. in seventeen eighteen and twenty minutes of people we have clearly

extremists the media is the border of iran is between iran and its join us believe and on. a given problem which is not so far so no one want to be involved in the last time. we i mean west down the armies were involved in. every i was there it was he a just nibbled on and we leave the ribbon on the body bags are for the little soldier. two hundred forty two american marines and sixty two french possible i was there the day i was remember for my night would be back and it was such a very nice experience for us i don't think we don't we want to have this experience again and if we go there we have the risk of these explosions again. we cannot it's not a game it's not the unknown he was

a movie where the good guy the good go by can come make everything down in quiet in the city getting just two or three bad guys and after they were the last at the end of the movie the beautiful woman the mother in the they have a lot of children it's not read since story it's middle east it's very savage war and after this was. what about would be the do we know we're be the winner. after this well you were. there we will sit through months of cones killing. revenge killing and so on and we don't want to be involved there but from the intelligence circles can you confirm that yes smuggle of weapons into syria as well as the process of some a foreign secret service in the country very probably. coming from your four or the government and from so you're

a blanket from dividends that's clear i think everyone knows that. some indigenous services in some probably the british my six. maybe the french. maybe the americans are involved but they're living on the don't live on in the support of your position on the one hand you're saying that western leaders and their allies don't want a military operation in syria but at the same time you're also saying that it's very likely that there are foreign secret service agents in the country already but that is getting involved isn't it what's the difference between a military operation and having agents on the ground you can deny. you can deny when you send indigenous people even if they're killed in that you can say yes but i don't mean us authorities tell us of illinois and i don't know what i'm looking for news of the secret service the men prospect of you the to the secret service

and so good agence is the bush pretty big no no no i don't know them when you go when you go to his arms downs. planes you could've said no it's not my plane let's talk about al qaeda operating in syria is this true or not and if so what can the situation develop into it's probably very true what we know is that syria. at the time of the world. iraq syria swarm of the platform of action from. for al qaeda a lot of people coming from europe. from belgium from frost from germany came in to went into iraq through syria so it's clear that's ok to us at the time it's. it's clear or so that's a lot of people we don't know much but

a lot of people who were involved in the iraqi war today fighting with the opposition against the regime in syria for a very abuse reason. if you remember the people of al-qaeda in iraq were getting shots as well as british and american soldiers. in syria the poor is so shit yellow it's a bunch of cheese so for the people of our god out which are certainly a very strict obedience it's the worst enemy. to kill to kill or shit is better than to get a question for them. so. it's a good motivation for them and we have clearly people and we sort of saw some modus operandi. i don't think that we have people of al qaeda involved in one sense and the fighting through fights and because doesn't make sense but when you

we had the bomb the. center of the ball in damascus. a few weeks ago it was. very likely an al qaeda job or thirty for the moment nobody knows exactly what's the difference tendencies in. the. position. in syria because when you see for instance the people in powers of the in the community and i'll show you the national syrian committee. down very much there on the very worst they are speaking they are very democratic and so on when you see the people ranting bomb bouncing demos because it's another suffering so where is the truth what is the real power of the moderates and the democrats if they exist what is driving power for the people of al-qaeda what is the report of

the saudis nobody exactly knows and we would see it moving noids. after but when will be this after nobody knows it could be tomorrow it could be in six months or in two years but many cases acts very much for your time i think you. are. well the future of science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. wealthy british style. markets. find out what's really happening to the global
