this is an eyesore ah, ah hello, welcome to the program. i'm in ron con. it's the african country where military coups happen all too often. in the latest attempt in between a faster internet is down the main t v stations on the military control and soldiers say they've detained president russia. campbell ah, tension escalated on saturday when security forces fall to protesters, who blamed the government and failing to stop attacks by on groups. on sunday, soldiers mutinied at military bases in the capital one could do. and 2 of the cities, the leaders of the revolt made 6 demands, including the replacement of military commanders and better equipment to fight on groups. some protesters showed their support in street demonstrations. the defense minister went on t v to deny a coup attempt. and the government imposed a curfew. nicholas hack is to monitoring developments for us from duck are in cynical there are celebrations in the capital walker to go and across the country. many saying that president hawk macavoy had it coming. he was seen as weak and inefficient in the face of growing attacks from armed groups linked to iso and al qaeda. and the tipping point happened in november where security forces almost 50 of them died in the region of a nuts. and there was public outcry when it turns out that only with a ill equipped but they had gone weeks without receiving their food rations present . october hawk mccuber was seen as a president that was not equipping the soldiers sent on the frontline without their food rations. and so there were protests across burkina. faso in those protests were clamped down and present rock. michaela made a series of measures dismissing his government several times, most recently dismissing several senior officers. some of them were arrested, allegedly plotting a coup against him. and so it seems now that they, the military are now in charge of breaking of us. so this may be a step back for democracy in a region that has seen 3 coups one in guinea, the other in molly, and now in brooklyn, of fossa. but for many in the country, it's seen as a step forward for better security. more than 1500000 people have been displaced in over 2000 people have been killed in a country on the verge of chaos. despite the support of french forces that are on the ground. nicholas hawk al jazeera for inside story will introduce our panel in just a moment. but 1st, let's take a quick look at how we go ahead. no, as nicholas hak mentioned a taxing to iceland. okada have killed thousands and displaced around one and a half 1000000 people. the military has been suffering losses since the violence began in 2016 last december. more than 50 security forces were killed in the north . the continued killing of civilians triggered at demonstrations against the government. military leaders also complained about a lack of equipment and training. in october, president roche cavalry replaced the chiefs of the army and the air force to quell discontent within the military. and earlier this month, a dozen soldiers were arrested on suspicious of conspiring against the government. ah, let's begin, i guess, in acro, the capital of governor a manual, casey and inc, director of research in the country in an international peacekeeping training center, in osalla in sweden. yes. will be allison, senior researcher, of the nordic africa institute, and from casablanca in morocco, dumber gate, a journalist, and former director of information, as you can only community, west african states. i welcome to you all. i'd like to begin in casablanca, in morocco with you, a dom again, president roche campbell has seen the writing on the wall for a long time. in fact, he did ref, senior military leaders. but that seemingly not enough to stop a qu from happening. how much trouble is he in isaac drama because this was, as you run say, writings on the wall. people who are not with the civilian in the country or should the military you will not be. and you remember last year, 1453, a will either town called you not a mission and food for this. so the, a government for changes here. so you found a wonderful story to age and indeed there was really a race toward it stopped me a just the 2 weeks ago. there was a controller by the military as you was until yesterday. but people including a legal, he's decided to strike yesterday to me. i think they're just towards the president enough or so. and the people are here to then, you know, not just a yeah. and where did it later, despite the b a nation lead to the steam or did he said that the shows you for them to fish for a company? was somehow a under the 2nd. you're not really a b 2 is company ever to get them in 2015. well let's, let's make that point a manual. busy quote, in the kito faso has a unique perhaps more than any other african nation problem when it comes to fighting al qaeda and iceland deed a couple of years ago on iso message boards there was told that they wanted to make the king of fossil the capital of the new color fights that never happened, but the fighting has been tough for the king of us or does the army in the keno fast. i have a point, they're not equipped to fight this fight. and this is why they've mounted this action. when i think that, i mean, that's a good point, but there's not just about a lack of appropriate and adequate logistics. it's also about a doctrine. it's about the leadership. it's about the nature of the messaging and understanding of, of the enemy that they are trying to resist. and me sway best when desk clear products, cow leadership with a message that in, oh, that drives the army. and that ensures that via access i can hear it. i think that political leadership off leading of oversight of control of ensuring that a stretches themselves within the abbey franklin effectively to be able to take on this enemy as be weak leading to the app itself. creating atrocity so i mentioned atrocities that as lead and me to lose some of the support from the business. the phil at west publish acad effects for me is that temporary reverse out there? something all dental keena government? well, let me take that, let me take that boy to our next guest there. yes for jonathan ah, who is in of sala in sweden? or we are stage where the president is actually afraid of his own military. he was afraid that the would become too powerful so he didn't give them what they needed to fight that fight. and now they're actually put him under house arrest is back for his truck. he is almost back fight because he was afraid of them. in the 1st place, well, i think it is a very tricky sort of structure to maneuver for the presidents and that will be true of any precedent succeeding coverage. that is what we're seeing now. we have to distinguish, 1st of all, of course, between the troops, actually fighting the war against you. how does i'm in the north of the country? and then the central military leadership. and as mr. gay said, there's been some replacements now in the military leadership. but i still had soldiers protesting yesterday, calling for another change of the head of the army, not of the president. so i think 1st of all we have to nuance. so understanding of what the different factions of the army actually are asking for. and then we also have to distinguish between the military elite and, and sort of the, the troops themselves. i think the presidents challenge has been that he has, as far as i've understood, he is appointed new leadership within the armed forces. now that seem to be sort of a group formula referred to as le boys who were loyal to the state during the attempted to of 2015. and he may have sort of marginalized other actors within the armed forces that are now reacting to not being as more central to power. so it's a very complicated structure. and a very complicated game the president has had to play their dom again. would you agree the factionalism within the army is a big driver of what we're saying there. is this army in the north that isn't very happy with the central army leadership, as i guess is just pointed out. would you say that that's true. yeah, that's true. and also the seas, compounded by the fact that there is literally division in the other, is given to what we can consider that mexican or b. we have been 50 from the resources of the state, whereas the lower rank people will go up to you yesterday. you know, benefit from so this is a reality. but beyond that, i think the country was not when you manage before we think about a coupon for almost 27 years after the demise of a 97. v by the people are only the form of a country for 37 years. so how with completion is made with various forces by mr. our previous president. them on a little bit of an ice and a we were going to fossil from the countries affected by a and b. but now what is happen? a we, each of them are really powerful, but we go to review but much to change gear and become reinvented. there was a b one to place you on 1500000. but you know that people want to leave this place before we leave the country. you have a funny in the country, you ethically difficult is a broker, or do you think about the problem and maybe about from mr. look up. i know personally, mr. going for many years, it doesn't matter, but he's not a policy that a little you right. really think to make sure that anybody with me really, when we know that most of the we did is it will somehow when under the british break the lease, well echo us have just come out with some statements quite crucial statements. actually they've describing it as an attempted, cute that they've also said that the army is responsible for the physical integrity of rush, cowboy, himself, and echo us of also said that they want to see rapid change in the situation. is anybody going to be listening to echo us and manual questioning? well, i mean, this sounds very much like a repetition or the same stint mans with respect to malleable for spec gainey and now in class. so i think the primary element and the democratic rebels, the ability of those who got to really have a handle on the most unpleasant your problem is that the country has n for us to plea that intervening be true for all of not j. it's need s to awesome all inclusive or pin that logic form of governance. so there wouldn't be much listening because. busy look, that there were some bridges have changed. you know, people are becoming impatient, demanding. governance that's, that's speaks to the challenges that the face on a daily basis. and both of them in denison have told us quite a lot about the ballistic. did today. challenges of people, and i think west africa, but it's kind of put, it must be sensitive to the driving forces of the majority of these people in the sub rigid totally indicated unemployed. you know how sing for benefit and in christian to come in for example. and frustrated with what so i just want to know what is happening elsewhere and this beg quote to me on liberty that's true cheap and non functioning. so while no waiting for the counter elsewhere having right, let me bring up pointed to yes, jonathan, a class is the economic community of west african states. is it actually a player in this particular scenario? or like, i guess it's just that it's again the statements that we've heard before, and they're not really resonating with the people, the poll on the ground. well, i would say that if we look at what's happening in molly, i think it was, is trying to to, to we impose itself as an relevant act when it comes to sort of in molly, trying to, to convince the military young to, to hand over power to civilian that, transitional government. but it's true that echo bus has been criticized of being sort of a president club where, you know, the heads of state of countries with questionable democratic records are looking out for each other rather than looking out for their populations. so i think everybody has a legitimacy problem to, to deal with. but i do think that these kinds of statements are necessary as a minimum i think that not making condemning statements about potential military takeover would be even worse. so i don't think there's much else for eco us to do at the moment, but they will have to work hard to deserve the credibility in the eyes of, of west african people. in general. i would, i would say adama gave the same point to you or a co s, a player right now. no, it wasn't as good community, a huge type of function in a country that is almost going down the drain as being rejected by the population across not just with across africa. this is a good idea just for themselves. why didn't they react when you cannot be a, was getting people or would you mind it? well, why don't they react to when a b, b for coffee mission on? see when you go and know you're coming time to make it to people. you do not like a, as a form of communication, call us at the, the changing demographics with youngsters coming up, knowing what is going on in the world and a man and the cost of the people, a lot of the state and the cost of the state to be something the need to finish and open up the field of conversation to make sure that they do end up building a statement that people are going to pay attention to mr. wrong mark a 50. and the problem as being was to me again and then we'll get into the citizens. we will get into that. i do want to bring in a on this page. well, let's talk about where the other organization before we get into how long the president has been powerful manual chrissy. and whereas the african union and all of this, they have a role to play with. they've always had a road to play. but this structure of the relationship between the african union and it's becoming communities that call was based under subsidy, or it's a principal become defensive. the regional organization destro respond to the challenges that book has treat then that the union will take guidance from a job where to speech. but the realize the target and i said, and there might be see, how do we show that we have used to shoes? that's our response. see as sensitive to the needs of people. now, when you have your strategic that are increasingly cheap, and i'm not proceed by the generality of the populate the lead as being and banding and get perception of the profit and mandating from this institution seems to be purely looking faster. hasn't happened overnight. we saw west meetings in a crash where they were focusing on maddie. so that gives that impression, that there's a lack of appropriate intelligence organ. so we seem to have lost a manual though. we will come back to you. yes. with unison here we go. you have echo us, you have the african union. they are players are within this entire scenario is playing out right now. but you also have a generational problem of corruption of mismanagement. does taken places lead to this anger, none of this is solvable overnights. so literally the future for begin of faso in the next few months will be a military, almost failed state. surely. well let's, let's hope for the best i would say. let's 1st see what happens in these coming days. as far as i know, it hasn't really been confirmed that this is a complete military takeover. i would just, i would look back to the popular uprising of 2014 and say that even before the regional had this terrorism became such an imposing problem on looking fast. so the country was facing a very steep transition from the 27 year rule of bass, compressed into a more democratic state. and that challenge was then compounded by the, the sort of the, the growing threat and menace of the how does terrorism. so already at that time, when mr. corporate came in, sorry, missed a couple of came into power. you know, that was a very steep challenge to face and i don't, i think he has been fairly realistic in the promises he's made to some extent. but of course, any, any head of states would, would struggle to keep promises under those conditions. so what he has failed that dramatically is of course, communicating the extent to which those promises we're just not possible to keep the question of whether we're heading towards the military state. now, i think we should be very careful about normalizing military rule in the region. i think that's the, that's the 1st key point there. and i think it's up to all these different factors regional, continental and international to keep pressure on any military actor stepping forward and k need to ship. now i think it's important that we find the way back to civilian rule if this is and do the military takeover. a dormer gay, our guest is just said we should not normalize military coups. but there is a scenario. maybe that this might be a good thing because of that you had is terrorism, that you had his own groups that they face in the north of the country. maybe this is was needed to defeat those groups. and clearly that's an international objective . doesn't have anything to do the people of beginner fast on helping them, but it isn't international objective. is there a response here that is actually good? yes, this is a global recession of democracy in the world, the summit of democracy organized recently by them, by them in america, was a failure. at many, you have a turkey, china, russia through many leading countries as wanted to emulate. now you ever sort of take into account the history of looking at fossil, he's not the 1st time the military coming to the point to go freight. i remember a b after would be with another military and then each there was a, it was really, so he's not from the new a new part of the you can call countries to demand for t v, a ruler to be in breach. when those even the rule, once they come to power it and on the privatize the resources of their countries and what is talking to us, not for the common good. and this is the problem because i remember i was in a, in june 1999. when did that, or a you, the south african union decided to ensure that the me, man, one of the country against a game that the city would deliver on good governance. that they would ensure the integrity of the country. and they want to promote both government agencies and this is not happening. and that is very and be surprised that more military prompted by african young a when a got left, the other gentleman said a woman and we pick up in general to say the least. well, thank you very much. so all our guests and manual. crazy. yes, piano sent again and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website out there a dot com and for further discussion, go to a facebook page. that is facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. and you can also join the conversation on twitter. handle is at a j inside story for me in ronco and in the whole team here and bye for now. ah and a journey of personal discovery. my great grandfather, he was a slave of li property al jazeera, is james gannon explorers, his family's legacy of slave ownership. you know, like my family's status and wealth has benefited from their choice translate people and america's debt to the black people to day some over. so stall, we even scale to speak out because it's a broad al jazeera correspondence, a moral debt. this city of cobble has experience so much upheaval for decades, and this is another change to get used to. and one that's boss from easy about a situation. and now it's not clear, all the people are just lost and confused. there are deep rooted fears about the erosion of basic frights, in particular for women and girls, despite assurances from the taliban, and about to return to cruel punishments for certain crimes. everybody will be safe, nobody's kid will be kidnapped again from ransom. now together, they're feeling thy way forward into their new reality. ah hello nick lock into the top stories here now 0 and these placement for the you and 60 general has condemned to cue and became fresco and his voice concerned for the president. the military says it sees power and opposed president rook for a whereabouts are presently unknown. nicholas huck has his report. after days of gunfire, anti government protectors tear at the sight of what is left of the presidential motorcade. for foster special forces turned their weapons against the president security detail. several people were wounded.
