5:14 pm
bring us up to date with what's been happening there today. well this morning we saw a lot of people coming in to this voting station now we're in medina we're just a stone's throw away from the presidential palace and this area is a stronghold of the popular mayor of deckard he tried to to run in this election but was not allowed to because he's been sentenced to corruption charges and he his supporters as thrown his support towards a candidate. for other candidates are challenging incumbent president mikey sol who's wants to run for a second term in office and of course people here these candidates are trying to attract young voters why well because most people in senegal are born after two thousand and they're millennialists they've only experienced two presidents former
5:15 pm
president of the aged ninety two and mikey age fifty seven and so for many young people he's president are not relevant joining me now is i mean that giant who is twenty four you're a first time voter and you're undecided why is that. i decided to vote against my side which is to me is the most important thing in this election voting against my you so it's more it's important thing for you for this election why what is it that you do not like about mikey sell because in his campaign he's read been really promoting his his. his what he's done it is mandate that he's helped junge women especially in the job market he has betrayed everything he promised us when he came in two thousand and twelve especially given english justice you named it like when you were doing the president like he arrested political opponents in the name of justice in the name of fighting against corruption and things we've never had in our country like banning freedom of speech banning protesters from marching i being
5:16 pm
a happening and i think that's very dangerous for democracy and so there are four of the candidates that are running in the race do you think those four other candidates are dress. issues that matter to you. they're dressing issues that matter for senate though i think specially one of them. he has been his voice has around like with young people because his young himself is saying that it's time to change the system and also like other candidates like there is a second is a cell in my thinking i have also addressed it in the own way a different part of the programs but i've seen lacking in this campaign issues around me when around like environment specially none of that really address it for my opinion in a serious way something that's come come in again come again and again during this campaign is the lack of job opportunities for young people and many of them crossing the mediterranean trying to go to europe leaving this country do you think that these candidates are offering opportunities that young people want. i soon so
5:17 pm
i think they will try atlas and i think in the campaign they have been addressed in different ways to foster economy and to create like you have employment for people but i think they also showing and now it's senegalese young people are understanding that they have to take the destiny in their own hands to enter predicament of the kind of business and really try to create themselves a better future for president called for a boycott of this election saying it's not free and fair because two of the opposition candidates are not taking part of it despite this you're going out to vote of course and so as a matter of sending all these people because you have you have a history of voting in peace and in two thousand and twelve a lot of political opinions like microsoft was saying that they believe like. the political maturity of the country so they've been saying the senegalese people are always going to vote for the president and they're going to do it in and i hope that's what's going to happen today and till now it's happening i mean that's i

states created in warsaw just a few days ago where vice pres the nz mike pence and secretary of state might propel you brought israelis and arabs together without the palestinians in order to advance the notion of some arab israeli alliance against iran now it's important for any american initiative in israel palestine to be supported by the arab world i guess what there isn't much left in the arab world most of it is either in conflict or a twenty four to of it jordan and egypt already have peace agreements with israel and three or four of them will never have agreements with israel at this point in time.
