Will a new constitution in Mali lead the way to civilian rule?

It's a vote to approve or reject constitutional changes in Mali.
Supporters say the amendments will ease a transition from military rule to a civilian-led government.
But scepticism is growing.
After years of coups, political instability and social unrest, mistrust in authority continues to be a fundamental problem.
So is this referendum about actual change or just political theatre?
And are democratic elections even feasible in future, given the country's political and social tensions?

Presenter: Mohammed Jamjoom

Guests
Fatima Al Ansar, consultant on peace and security in Mali and the Sahel region.
Alex Vines, Director of the Africa Programme for Chatham House.
Marie-Roger Biloa, President of Africa International Media Group and political commentator on Africa affairs.
