10:08 pm
summit is the issue of security from the current chairman of the organization and mohamed widely of nigeria to be a course commission chairman and of course the special representative of the united nations the issue of attacks and the rising violence in this hell and the west african sub region as a whole has occupied a very prominent place in their speeches president mahmoud abbas who said despite the progress of my head the issue of violence that is spreading across the region is a source of concern. or looters to that it is intel . there's currently it's then and terror is at its all. these threats. is in the consequences. this is to me. as well as the hoots so leaders are desperately trying to find solutions to these

10:11 pm
the government will continue to address the issue but the problem is this problem between the head to head us from us a lot of them last only last month the group just released the results report about 300 have been killed in one moment. he is not ticking there's bound to be a president before i came into the studio i saw some video disturbing video going viral now with people who try to employ 70 fest i think. they may just decode us especially the security operators should come together and see how these. 10 sean can be brought about because if it goes your record out in 967 nigeria just a civil war i'm no country so guys this is a concert so it calls for a concert let's talk about more why the issues the president said that terrorism
10:12 pm
