Fire on wednesday morning after several demonstrators were reportedly shot dead on tuesday in another part of nigerias commercial capital a large fire burned at a bus station. These videos are emerging of many uniform opening fire and killing people in lagos on tuesday but Security Forces are denying any involvement. Lets bring in a disease for an update hes joining us right now what are you hearing about the situation right now in lagos. Well there in this situation is getting out of control there are more shootings today i would see in increase in attacks we see in arson weve seen looting in parts of lagos state for example apart from the bus station youre mention a t. V. Station an independent television station was burned and was forced off a few hours later one of the respected independent television stations again in lagos was forced off the reason it was showing on screen was of an imminent attack on stuff and its operations and the television is back running skeletor services now but there are fears that these attacks will continue what is not sutton who is who is carrying out these attacks these up peaceful protests that began way back about 3 weeks ago and then eventually it has started taking another dimension now apart from these incidents they were attacks reported attacks on the nigerian portal 40 offices in lagos private residences have also been targeted and the situation is becoming more and more confusing very as more and more people are keeping in those respective because if youre in course but there are people actually on the streets weve seen pictures of people targeting businesses and looting shops driving on the streets of lagos so this is the situation so far the government is calling the governor of lagos state has called for calm asking people to respect the curfew and stay indoors but a lot of people are angry about what happened yesterday and so eventually is seen now or today is actually a reaction of what exactly took place yesterday at the. Toll gate where Security Forces opened fire on people who gathered peacefully to demonstrate although they were blocking the roads ok thank you very much for that update from abuse or lets not speak to a lot local to reba who is an independent. Researcher on nigeria she is joining us from london thanks for your time with us on aljazeera so on the face of it these protests look like there abouts Police Brutality and Police Violence in nigeria but you say that theyre actually much more than that what are the underlying issues that are fueling the protesters well i think it became very clear very quickly that the protests could never just be about because they kind of abuses which are documented in facades squad are also something thats become part of everyday life and in that contact with figures of authority across the board i think also means that the. Gross inequality which weve seen has meant that the young people going out in the streets feel like its a fight for survival so young people whove been given very little opportunity at 2 years ago the president said that these young people just want to do nothing and get everything for free get education and housing for free theyre saying well if as a government youre not going to provide us with basic necessities we dont have access to clean water we dont have 24 hours electricity were not even finding for those things were just saying dont tell us that that man should be very simple in terms of responding to where the governments response has just been to. Use water cannon and fire on protesters and theyre experiencing that brutality and its only making the protests and the demands of the protests brought in so many right now what would you say are the demands of the protesters because of the government did respond to ending sars and they just they did disband the unit on october the 11th but it sounds like youre saying that thats just not enough. Well theres no trust on the ground this was the 4th time in as many years that the government said that it had either were formed or despondent the sars you know that. But in reality all that has man is that the problem gets shifted to another place all those same people those same individuals who were able to act with impunity continue to act and harass young people and i think at the moment the demands of the protest as well for a long time they tried to make sure that it remains centered on the court demand of providing restitution to the families who have been victims of Police Brutality and all the people who have been killed by police to of ensuring that there was a chain of command in times of. Holding office is accountable increasing Police Salaries so an average Police Sergeant makes less than 1600. 00 a year compared to a salary for a senator which is upwards of 750000 ira so over 2000. 00 a month. Various demands of broadening him the message from the ground seems to be fast stars fast Getting Police accountability and band now that weve rediscovered this power doing that out to the question of bad governance in my jury a in general thats been trending both in megawatts and in the u. K. I am for the last few days we are getting reports from lego sets about the looting shops taking place and vandalism as well. Our reporter is saying that these are kind of isolated incidents though but are you worried that these actions are going to undermine the message from the protesters and the protest movement. So the protesters have been very clear from the get go that what they wanted to do was conduct a Peaceful Movement through acts of civil disobedience and to achieve that ams what happened yesterday was an utter horror. Leckie toll gate bridge has been a core site of demonstrations throughout the protests and its also been a place whether been a report last night of violence to open fire on protesters who were protesting peacefully has cause rightfully a huge amount of anger not just in nigeria but across the diaspora in response to that i mean protests have pointed out before that theyve seen aliments you know. Of pete athletics and people coming in and trying to sow seeds of discord trying to instigate violence in response so that they hired security and to protect themselves not just from police but from these criminal elements i think whats really important to remember in all of this is that there are core of protesters the vast majority of people on the street it will continue in the struggle for a better nigeria and those people are engaging in these acts and it seems to be that the governments hostility is trying to escalate violence on the ground and they remain resolute in their sponsor not that theyre not going to take the bait right away thank you very much annie on the local with her about her speaking to us from london thank you. Now Security Forces in sudan have fired tear gas are protesters complaining about the cost of living the annual inflation rate hit a record peak of more than 200 percent last month the Transitional Government has struggled to revive the economy and the overthrow of president on Martin Bashir last year lets get an update from her morgan shes joining us from the streets in khartoum hippo so what can you tell us about the protests taking place. Well for one thing there are things are not going doing the protesters want to now theyve been saying that they wanted to be a peaceful protest they just want their voices heard but then Security Forces are firing stun grenades and tear gas now you can see behind me process there is still lining up still walking and trying to make their voices heard they have. Tires to vent out their frustration and they say that theyre not trying to oust the government of Prime Minister abdullah rather theyre trying to put pressure on it so that it can improve the Living Conditions now thats because of the inflation has been rising steadily since the government came to power in august last year in january it was just at 60 percent and now its at more than 200 percent many people cant afford basic commodities anymore and its not only that people have been standing in line for fuel and bread for weeks and weeks now this is something that is becoming a regular theme here in sudan and people are saying that this is quite frustrating then theres the issue of how much control the military has there saying that when they took to the streets in 10 to 18 thats to oust a military government and have a civilian cabinet in place but they say that the military still controls most of the institution and especially the economic institutions which is making it very hard to improve Living Conditions so protesters here have taken to the streets once more there also call them a routine the 1st anniversary of the anniversary of the 1st in 1964 over 21st 964 saying that this means that they are trying to show the government the revolution is still alive and.
