As weve seen over the last 3 months these processes the government has said one thing and done something completely the other we saw the Prime Minister general prayer turn on this time last week saying that he wanted to reach out to the protesters he wanted there to be some kind of dialogue he wanted to form a direct line of communication with them and then we heard in the week that some of those who were under arrest would be released from the room for a man present yes the evening we saw that happen but immediately they were bundled into a police van to be taken to face new charges a nearby Police Station when they arrived one was unconscious the other 2 in a very agitated state it certainly appears that the police are under instruction and not to take that conservative tree. Mode which the government has been talking about and frankly i think the students will regard this is talk only. Because one of their key demands has been that the harassment of prodemocracy protesters stop and weve seen the key leaders being arrested released rearrested again for involvement in separate protests and i think at this stage theyre aware that all of the talk coming from the government is just bluster. Chinas leaders say they must seize the opportunity of the stand treat to be in the front row of the worlds major powers a message came out of a rare meeting and chinas most powerful politicians map out the nations goals of the next 50 years difficult hollande has more.

China also toughened its stance on the autonomous city of hong kong after the International Community expressed support for Anti Government and prodemocracy protests last year in july beijing made its most dramatic move yet to tighten its grip on hong kong by imposing a wide ranging National Security law it came under criticism from many countries including the us which in turn put sanctions on chinese officials but it was a clear message to the International Community to stay out of chinas Affairs Relations between washington and beijing are at their lowest in decades because of disputes in trade technology and human rights.

Secretary of state went on a socalled anti china tour with high level meetings in asia including visits to vietnam indonesia japan india and sri lanka to where china has funded major Infrastructure Projects the u.

Voting is underway in ivory coast as president and i saw what tata seats 3rd term but the opposition has promised to disrupt the process rising fears of civil unrest on that interest has. Unclean voters cogs at a Collection Center in a big show the Election Commission says voters have claimed less than 42 percent of the cards some say that illustrates how many people in ivory coast feel about the president ial election. In the above with. I will not go under the current circumstances because you can only go where your safety is assured i dont see such conditions in place id rather stay home in the run up to the vote dozens of people have been killed i mean the escalating political tensions. That in a country still recovering after months of preelection violence in 20102011 but left about 3000. 00 people dead incumbent president Alassane Ouattara is running for a 3rd time against an independent after 2 other candidates boycotted the election and called supporters to disrupt the polls that. Are going to be. Me i find this election a bit strange every Party Started campaign well then we hear of a boycott its so confusing i think we should proceed with the vote to avoid a repeat of 2010 but i can tell you everyone is scared people havent forgotten 2010. The Literacy Rate here is 47 percent an area many voters will want to see improved. With an average of 7 percent annual growth ivory coast economy is doing well and better than much of africa but many of its young people say they feel left behind. For some ready to cast their ballot they expect much from the next president. And i would like the next president to be a leader for the whole country a man who would develop the country someone who will improve Health Care Delivery and security he should also improve education because of the high level of illiteracy importantly he should provide jobs for the. Meeting these expectations would be easy for a country whose revenues are tied to fluctuating Commodity Prices in addition people here will want to see whoever wins this election tackled the difficult task of reuniting a deeply divided country. Well ahmed tries to live he is following developments from abou to ahmed to what is the turnout the monks are firing up people listening to these opposition calls for a boy cause. One couldnt for the morning voting it turns out that the turnout in such an area is in the Financial Capital has been decent especially in a bubble one of us in water as strong holds in the country. Aljazeera strong as weve been going round some of these polling stations reported that reporting that people as 7 oclock turned up at the polling stations queued up and are voting peacefully were also hearing. Reports from the north of the country where a loss in what is also doing well politically in the city of coral people theres been a decent turnout of voters who queued up to vote but its too early to say whether i voters will book this election weve seen over the last one week how less than 50 percent of people claim their voters cards although the Election Commission said they can still vote with their national i. D. Cards or could go to polling stations and collect their costs there and vote its too early for now to say whether the call for a boycott general book or put out by the opposition has been a 2 of them arent welcome when they know are we expecting results and you know is the opposition likely to accept those results. Well thats the thats the big question though officially results are expected within 3 days of or the close of voting which should be from any time from now to monday and its hard to say if the opposition will allow things to go as they are looking at the history of elections in ivory coast of a lot of people in ivory coast expect that the opposition will stand firm on their words that civil disobedience against whatever and this election will continue and thats what the fears of many in ivory course is this could possibly lead to violence if they stand or if they sort of take drastic actions like street protests which of already been banned by the government as well as maybe also try to declare some kind of interim government that could generate a lot of political crisis in that country weve seen the results in 2010 or see in the country still struggling with the effects of the civil war in which 3000. 00 people died over a decade ago so its hard to say what will come up but the next 3 days will determine whether or not they opposition will accept it but the general feeling is that the opposition will not take it lying low we will of course be monitoring it here on aljazeera thank you so much for that. Much from developments in ivory coast from a bridge up. Has it is electoral Commission Says president john mughal fully has won a 2nd term in office in 2 leading opposition parties say they will not recognize the results according to the National Council fully 112 and off many votes in wednesdays election while his main challenger got less than 2000000.

Putting guns knives and other weapons out on display police in guinea say theyve made the streets safer 49 people have been arrested suspected of playing a role in postelection violence thats claimed dozens of lives all are supporters of opposition leaders and his party. These are wrestling to crimes committed during the recent protests but when it comes to burning houses terrorizing people innocent families for the simple reason that they belong to a Certain Community its no longer political its a crime. Security forces raided the homes of yellow supporters who say theyre being framed and falsely accused of owning the very weapons used against them but in the other settle down to the last a long time some of the police entered my fathers room pulled out one of the guns you see and accuse me of owning it i told them i woke up because of your shooting and they forced me to say it was mine or else theyd kill me. Amnesty international is among those accusing Canadian Police of using Excessive Force against the opposition. President alpha conde has personally congratulated the military for restoring order the electoral Commission Says he won the election with nearly 60 percent of the vote allowing him to bypass a 2 term limit under constitutional changes he pushed through this year 10 of the 11 candidates have rejected the election result an appeal to the Constitutional Court which still has to certify the outcome.
