i think the ancient nascar culture made the chips in the desert as a prayer offering for rain to the gods. this design was drawn on the side of a fairly rocky hill on the nascar plain it was basically made by forming lines of about $30.00 to $40.00 centimeters which outline the figure and parts like the eyes of the mouth were formed by piling up rocks. the figure was in the process of disappearing because it's on the side of a hill it is more than 2000 years old also the erosion was very strong so it's basically allowed it to remain hidden for many years we hadn't been able to see it during all this time. and let's take you through the headlines here in al-jazeera now so dan's prime minister is welcoming a move by the united states that would remove the country from the list of state sponsors of terrorism president donald trump says he's ready to make the decision which could bring much needed investment and debt relief on condition sudan pays

with every. you're watching this stream back in the studio again today a story that string of us have been asking us to talk about for some time a massive and sometimes violent protests against police brutality in nigeria the recent call to end song starts nigeria's special anti robbery squad has taken over social media and the streets it's also put a spotlight on my juries youth calling for change. to go. especially back in this
11:34 am
regime. change. sentences this will you not want to. thank you have a nice i know watching revenue watching you've got questions and comments as well if you're new chief you can jump into the conversation via the comments section if you're on twitter tweet us at a story. the stream invited the inspector general of nigeria's police for hamad i don't need to join today's discussion but nigerians in particular i want you to hear why he declined he feels that the nigerian public has lost trust in the police force and he would like to all of the requests of the protesters to back their trust before speaking to us on the stream i don't know how long that will take hopefully not too long in the meantime dieted to welcome indicator assad's protester and executive
11:35 am
director of the din adare foundation so live an hour chairman of the nigerian police trust fund and the former inspector general of police and al-jazeera correspondent i met interests guess it's really good to have you. yes if you could describe this past 7 days in nigeria how would you explain what is happening right now ahmed you go 1st. it's just a whole. i realize ation that the nigerian youth can stand up to something a little sore chaotic especially nice as it is it could also be very violent now the frost week of this practice was really really something new something out of the blues for the nigerian use this is a country so long that's been divided by ethnic religious and other fault
11:36 am
lines however when the call came for 'd protest against police brutality in nigeria you see people especially the young ones from the ages of 20 to 35 dominated the musts of this protest i've seen young people young mothers with infants babies in fact strapped to their backs michael along the streets of lagos in part how could of all these places you ask them why are you doing this they're also is that for long we've been ignored for long our spirit and of course demands have not been met and to be candid for me this is pent up anger this has been going on for a very long time it's not the forst time now genista were tested to call for an end of this police unit that has of course not really are believed it's useless but has
11:37 am
become the law unto itself. i remember listening to. the man midwives. still not a police officer. so let me quote john for talking radio saying that he regretted mid-wife in this unit because they were unit diverted from its school principals he said he feels ashamed to be associated with it now why has it taken so long for the general for just so well for the times that i didn't go through 13 this year and unfortunately it did not last and being in 2018 when the current vice president promised reforms but eventually what happened as documents they return back to their old ways i don't start. this is such great contacts i really appreciate it indeed you ought out protesting you are writing some of the other protest us messages on social when i said what is going on in nigeria right now what
11:38 am
immediately came to mind for. well for the past week it has that young people have decided that look and not the sonata i mean it was a generation of green and jordan the brutality this is just too much and it was time to have a conversation with all governments we have right with citizens of this country you're not going to infantilize us we're going to organize we're going to have this conversation with and governments and you're going to do the right thing and the right thing is a showing justice is served showing that the police are on the found the accountability is for the our own system ensuring that compensation goes out too big since i'm ensuring that there are adequate prep for these reforms and that is what we have been trying to do into this week what has been happening for young people especially today is the use of non-state actors to carry out may have
11:39 am
against people and it's so sad and depressing for us because why don't people in one julia decide to have a conversation with their governments what should have been done this that we should have been listened to we are going to live up to levels that nigeria has not seen before that should have command respect that should have been and i'm still sure would be the catalyst for a new nigeria body is what you don't people are trying to have i mean i didn't join the racial strand to get along do you plan to but again miser themselves are such a great mind that not that message is insulting to government and should listen to us i'm bent not the generation that we expect because the point they have been saying they're like clear and so was and we're back with that said you should listen you should look at the car out this reform secretary which are we're talking about and what the problems in order to lift violence we've got compilers from the police with the balance of state absence of broken barriers from non-state actors
11:40 am
and i would like to point that men do have the keys trio of this the application of non-state actors given that. one to use balance where do we fear going into you know everything and happiness are there in the event that we meaning can easily respond well then how can you run into what question would you want to ask the former. the former inspector general of police he is here right now he's listening to you what question would you want to ask him right now at this moment mr mr silverman when you're where are you where you were where that your own nigerian 9 jury and because we cannot remember primary id when we were bad but happening i think you might not have known i now have been very clear i would not dispute indy engine into their lives if indeed he let let let him respond because it was a very good and very powerful question good police. are trying every little bit
11:41 am
because of the you because you couldn't because of the little because i left the office of this because of police criticism. according to the records from our course he lived through until this is this is this is most of the unwarranted most of the just all the. actions of saw us. through just 6 now almost seems that human world always comes up with this it really was i have seen you know some of the. other subsequent activities of us but the most important thing is this where did this group really really leave go 26 but they look up to of course what is that if you're going to say we're highly concerned the fact that i love this are these little lives that have
11:42 am
no interest in this i was up against was what they were 'd would could have done suss how bad was the loss of life i thought was the good life. is but was of course a lot of press that it was that is all inside. and what it is though it looks. to throw on the possible when it was established look when we started so but all that good up all this stuff the hot sauce was a little awkward the hard to it will go as well as coco thought of police is to advise that i would want the savages because i know. right somehow i just love being respected journalist or there is a. problem with it going that's what i was told that there is out there along with this that a lot we are so of course i've done a lot and least and it's absolutely i spoke to
11:43 am
a i've spoken to our lady during the early days of this protestant i think last friday we spoke is low on al-jazeera this is a lady for 12 years the courts family was looking for a brother and up to now she was never granted access to that brother in fact they believe they presume that the young man is dead and he was last seen in the cost in your son's she said to me that her petition the family petition did not even reach the or hold just to she's written but she believes that that particular number which this particular police so it's like the last time we spoke with on friday and she said to me what you will convince that is when we expect to develop all this resigned i said line should even resign and said look the inspector general of police doesn't even know the power that lisa asked unit and it's there beyond reproach be abuse they've become law unto themselves so it's
11:44 am
a big big major major debate to quote you actor who controls this people what resources at their disposal why are they being above the law and that is why. the government is committed you know when you win this competition to be nigeria on the street the anger you see in their faces is just frightening. and that is because her local government has refused to do the right things and it's can i can i can't be like can i just can i just add something because the you tube is having this conversation as well echoing what you're saying david jonathan the problem isn't just silence the problem is the government constantly failing everyone we are tired of the impunity corruption an obvious abused tallahassee in the public without regard which is what you are saying there is like the anger is is a powerful if i may i think it's really important to have police voices in this
11:45 am
conversation i told you that the head of the police force in nigeria so he said he's not doing any media right now which is why there are so many retired offices. in nigeria because he is asking the retired officers to do the job for him dr emmanuel chukwu who. of us went to government. dealt a man your age you could. tell me this earlier because i asked him what kind of police would be so brutal to their own citizens and this is how he framed it let's have a listen to what we were. actually or what our muslims jews were our group our it's our good use it is our plant. have. aggression in burma. god nor you nor will by somebody become very intimate you. do but will go to war for your new students which
11:46 am
was our members of the public who would argue on burma and present bihari of nigeria cause of a few bad eggs indeed a few bad eggs. we cannot afford if you are in the 9th room would you or the left person listening to the former commissioner with him on the road to cool. now we're looking at you 3 percent of that problem congress of tribal people in managerial have done and i believe in good and organized what will it not be one of a couple they were met with little or none where did the big record referral and i read the political will to go let's also remember that intrinsic difficulty monthly if you get him a number through the ballot you know number of people walk to the field required to correctly allegedly brought him. in the number are think about.
11:47 am
what my question was so india i'm going to come back to my laptop broken up a little bit anybody who's watching in nigeria will empathize with that because sometimes the connectivity is a little bit challenging on my laptop this is what the police put out last week they were getting rid of this special anti robbery squad they promised that the officers from that unit they would be retrained they would have some psychological testing as all sorts of things promised you quote the protest to state they have their own 5 demands and said this is what we want released the protest is justice for all the deceased victims of police brutality and a question for you indy from you tube and that question is from the g is it time for protests is to institutionalize and get their demands codifying into law because the protest is snowballing and violence is rising from
11:48 am
all fronts indi is basically what next what are going to be next. let's look again at their usual car now again on the again you have been well documented but don't pull this program probably not young people did not step up to have balance the thing about it with what you are telling not in terms of meeting with the government is within this before you prime nigeria why don't people saying that big deal i want leadership is that. going to think that the facial we. are prepared before the right leadership means that the government will cause. people to come by your people to compete and this is why what we're looking at is that the federal compensation have broken your people have to look at everything that we have borne by my uncle but then i'll just show i actually not that again just this accountability crap and station and commutes before we have new federal crime and crime again our things but when we have looked. at the police it's not supposed to
11:49 am
be a record for something that may be a good. job if you. have good ones you know we might be better in the government that you. have been one of the great men you're not going beyond. where you've been born not paying not have one. kid not going back to life you have that we've. got to look if you could take that one of the people where we have. to live based of the nigerian because i think that if you don't want to take one of the things you should rob your life by now you've got me thinking the benefit. i've got that we met differently like you would be in the let me let me bring back slim and cinnamon at this is jane on the sauce was reprinted not scrapped so when someone's playing
11:50 am
to way last week there was now a special weapons and tactical teams in place and jane says we want that police division gone as they have done more harm than any could the police should also be reformed when we're looking at reform. what needs to happen what's the sense thing that needs to happen you can hear the passion you can hear on how how mad nigerians are right now one is have a fast paced well the 1st to listen happily is. i don't apply what is girl a little girl wrong with us and such as this will give us the 1st step the 2nd step is to come up with. alternative you know what the community what members of the public would while to believe this is the hopeless and this is what is called community police the people have spoken i have spoken
11:51 am
the rule i have the looks or this what we have includes low is the luxury of police trust the trust one of us has any of the kids force a return the police. second equip the police with more than equipment let me move the work of the personnel in the other the police that this really octaves if we all look at the reports of the various a missile all. those have been established the follow the group of the police 'd you have. to look what we. know it was the court you know that saw the others you know like i don't know this i'm not sure that i'm not sure people had a patient i'd have to wait for this that f.-f. yes let me step i shared this office as another idea this is another idea just this
11:52 am
one comes from dr emanuel he may remember as a former police commissioner a set of a 30 years in the policing and he retired a few years ago and he's mentioned vis and it is such an important point he made i'm going to make himself when i taught him that reform this is what is healthy. in the reform of europe will it's not sure what or what is go on bob murray. well but you know maybe not does not answer to the president. but he understands to the law there is so much interference in the running of the police started for the abutment of the i.g. . and be put in of what is ours would be sounds wrong bob woodward's. i'm busy with the hans. who. when you have that this is the
11:53 am
one where i want to go yes this is what how i want to cover this little like. the cut of the matter is that there is no law all those things. where the school is cavernous is political as well as help with the other allows you so or ourselves will have those initial be there as opposed to about how to go for it you're going to keep them there was political example was the talk of the electors as to my girl at the school to local news. ok i han't i just came out of like exactly exactly not just your job you love skilled job that was a point. to leave them alone of course it does mean you say when i get i hear you you are pretty i think i think you're right it was not me or you can i hear i hear you i hear the prince music we also know the reality you live and. i also want to
11:54 am
believe i want to be restored to consumer goods talk the whole. of the 2020. police act right so the onus and has addressed this issue will. i say i salute sec dr drew i think on saturday so he so far it was relevant i'm a very quick as i read it into the shuttle had well this might make any difference in terms of reform of the place in nigeria it's got so much bigger than happened to this moment make any difference and had. well basically so not only political interference the system of recruitment into the nigerian is with a lot of problems you would never have proper background checks and then you bring in people with questionable character into the force give them guns and give them training like the but regional of police so they of print the former commissioner
11:55 am
of police said they have put them under and then they allege that violence on ordinary civilians for nothing to do with the system so basically what these protesters are saying is that right you can threefold the police without looking at the core issues and what they want to actually basically is actually hold the police force to hold to kick out where at the end of the show you yeah where they were they had a show. this is so much lost yeah and one more thing you had just to end on yeah basically to keep to cost to keep outsiders reform the police and also target those areas that are critical. of the news that is the way we are giving them our to our conversation for now thank you so much a conversation continues at a j. stream on twitter on social and i'm going to leave you with some of the voices of the nigerian diaspora because this and sauce movement has spread across the world
11:56 am
but for now thanks for watching everybody i see you next time we're here to prove problems over the next month the 1st comes with the red sox are on the ball on the ground on the dance floor up or down i don't think are certain things to come from the british. but you continue to protest and protest safely this show not of then the lies your communities. and also protests legally continue to let your voices be heard there's no just enough to bounce us out and then meet us what bought it what are the formation of the security agencies and the funding. that you're. going to promote the grog money i think the market was. all over the world how was international community to bob's a decision and nigerian government accountable if they refused to protect their
11:57 am
