3:34 am
area is facing numerous challenges that are threatening to derail much of the progress it's made since that time. mass kidnappings attacks by armed groups and criminal gangs, corruption and a lack of jobs of anger. many widespread protest last year against an anti robbery police unit led to the killing. a protested nigerians and i'm calling on the government of mohammedan hurry to do more to ease their suffering. but officials have responded by banning twitter that lead to more protests on saturday. so where does nigeria go from here? we'll put that key question to our guest shortly. first, this report from an address in lagos, i protest piece with demonstrators chanting for democracy songs. there was heavy police presence. some officers even moving alongside the small crowd until the 1st quarter was breached. when the
3:35 am
security forces not rounds of 2 guys at the protesters, the crowd, including dozens of john list, had to run to find safety. police then fired gunshots into their slogan, banga, comalla fe who participated in the pos, june 12 movement 28 years ago. the ideals they football have been destroyed by the political class. that's why they back on the street. now, you know what they do to go down says i'm going to be here for one of them. i don't i, we cannot to deducted $99.00 per month to month digital to north of the june 12 which was born after the enrollment of an election in 1993. i believe the previous juris history, the window of that vote was later arrested by the military and died in detention what followed protests and violence group venetian force in the military to
3:36 am
organize another transfer of power to civilians. 6 years later, that transition to civilian power is marked here every year as democracy de but so much of his who took part in last year and these brutality protested that turned violent of times stayed away this year, saying st. protest like these can easily be hijacked by opportunities on the go gunpowder and thing guys because i'm no, no just keep because i filled up and i didn't want my lucky to my country parties were also reported in other cities including the capital of boucher. why poor an anti government protest is closed. i head of the protest security forces have been deployed in large numbers here. and across nigeria, the purchase are coming at a time when i didn't that angry politicians fulfilling terrain in widespread
3:37 am
violence. corruption, inflation and poverty. worried about a repeat of the police brutality protest last year that resulted in widespread looting in arson. many businesses in lagos, remain closed on saturday. earlier in a nation wide broadcast about the day president mohammed bahati acknowledge existing challenges facing nigeria. he assured the public the nation democracy will continue to evolve and decide challenges i meant, but millions of citizens burdened by inflation, economic stagnation and violence, say the change must happen. and now the reason i'll use ita lagos, nigeria, well civilian rule returned to nigeria in 1999, but it's still facing major challenges despite being africa. largest economy, it does have high unemployment and more than 33 percent of adults minus job many blame it on widespread corruption. recession and last year's drop in oil prices on
3:38 am
groups of killed more than 36000 people in the past 10 years. displacing about 2400000 in the northeast and in central and north west nigeria, there's violence between farmers and ethnic for lonnie herders as well as which lenses and criminal gangs. ah, okay, let's bring in guests in a boucher we have mike at you for a former director of nigeria state security service in washington dc. we have america, ankle head of the africa practice that the racial group and from coventry in the u . k. a. u. mussa a political analyst. welcome to you all mike, at your for coming to 1st. what hasn't or what has president hurry done since the last election that has got the country into such a mess? well i think that the missing is if you believe that's what for
3:39 am
the protection of the students, it's part of the student needs to go to the doctor. ready and to their in washington, given that there are demonstrations in a boucher lake os port harcourt, there's clearly a good, strong degree of coordination. is it your sense that this is beginning to look like an anti bu hurry movement? oh yeah, i mean it's clearly and he will hardly move ment. cabral behind the protest. right? that's not new. we saw that during and after the end size movements last october. so yes, i mean that certainly several elements of major in society,
3:40 am
better dissatisfied with the higher everything. hello melissa in coventry that cracked, and that america anchor, who is talking about, how was that handled in your opinion? i mean, arguably it made the situation worse, not better. definitely, the abduction was still ongoing. the police and the security say they're making errors, but they haven't been very successful. why have they not being successful? it's because of the handling of the situation in the country, particularly the not having the kind of equipment they need to fight the situation. so the handling hasn't been too good. the government hasn't been too helpful in the sense that the government hasn't told us exactly where the problem is. let's not forget that the security chiefs where there for a long time. i mean, the previous security is not the one that just that the previous one led by the
3:41 am
army chief and others. they were there for a long time. there were cause to change them. the president did not change them for a long time and then seemed just to get him out of hand book or her arm couldn't be consoled doing out of control. the binding deeds went out of control the. there were a lot of fun. crisis in healthy ways and so on on to go to your point in that side the president had to be forced practically to get these guys out of the week by that time was too late. so this brought it up a 4 out of all these problems. many of those that came out yesterday to put test where it was all means in the southeast and where there were a lot of column or break off with some nice those things is we're seeing the same thing. and so, and sorry,
3:42 am
part of the country that was quiet or the not way that what was it not are ok, given the way you've rate, you're raising a lot of issues there. and we'll try and unpack those in the time that we've got left. mike at you for there in a future. if you were still involved in your old job, working with the security services, would you perhaps advise the powers that be not to suspend twitter? because when a president or a prime minister in africa suspends twitter or bands or bars, social media even just for 12 hours, say that does 2 things. one, it in flames situation usually and 2, it kind of sends out a signal of, oh, i'm not in charge and i'm feeling really threatened. now there will be sure that it will come from what i'll do some shopping with the so you
3:43 am
know the government that was threatening that was and i believe the solution between the book and the 2 and the washington should we understand why there is so much anger and the only place that people can get rid of that anger is on the streets. i mean on that idea of abductions, 800 children had been abducted since december of last year. and this is a big money making part of revenue for the people who are doing the abductions. we understand reportedly since it started with the cheapest school girls a $120000000.00 us dollars has been paid to the people doing the kidnapping.
3:44 am
yes, so i wanted a couple of things, right. somebody answered this question and then just a quick thing about the question about twitter. one of the things that is often missing a conversation about insecurity is how structural it is in there. right? and also the rule that they have to play when i say structural. so obviously you have, you have a very centralized police force, you know, and that comes in the constitution. you don't have could have structural local intelligence gathering system which is essential to any sort of security system, right. and then you have a systematically underfunded an on the trained will these for so i mean, we have to recognize that the, these are problems that didn't today or yesterday with this administration. right. and they require as a fundamental rethinking of police and in one chair on the question about twitter, i agree, i think it was absolutely wrong me for the government to make and restrict and
3:45 am
access to to, to twitter. i do think that one thing that has been lost in the conversation, and i just wrote a piece about this, is that twitter also made it, well, let me put it this way. one thing that had been lost in the conversation is that this incident raises very serious question of what kind of duty of care social media companies have his problem nations on dealing with issues of national security. right. i also demonstrated in the sense that it was the speech of a commander in chief threatening, an armed rebel group that was deleted, right without even consulting the government. and they also raises the question of a well on the like, highlights the issue all work in the referee. right? so if you have a social media company is the record, we're political speech and you haven't, this is like this where certain groups of people organize to gain sympathy from the
3:46 am
referee. right? that is, become in, i would say, a prominent issue now in politics of today. so that's, i think something that we should all be thinking about beyond nigeria, right. what does this me political speech globally? i think my do a completely this in the way that they handle it. i'm a conversation about juicy, of care from social media platforms. we're talking about twitter here is a perfectly valid point to raise. the cost is protecting the context of what we're discussing is maybe front of the program. it's maybe for another discussion inside story because all those social media platforms, all the apps, one has one phone. yeah, we should talk about those maybe at another time. audio melissa in coventry. unemployment is running at over 33 percent, 33.3 percent according to the latest that's as of today. that's the 2nd highest national rate of unemployment. any place on the planet? what can we do to turn the economy around? because the asset rich oil and gas,
3:47 am
but people are poor. people don't have jobs. what we know, what the problem was made. yeah, actually it's not because the manager hasn't got some the potential to be well the over the years oil has not been i wouldn't call it the kind of the right we saw us to rely on to do all of the when idea has been more of a cost for us because we have complete people, very light on each, meet the economy to be a far monoculture in the sense that we completely up and down. what are the forces songs in the country. and that is why everybody talks about. that is why even the use not always rely on government to keep them employee and so on. a lot of file talented. what i expect the government to be doing, and we've got government started at the point, what i don't know how far they have to come back to encourage people as much as
3:48 am
possible to use the talent to the creative use that creativity an inquiry, people to be to want to come to pro national so that is the best way to create employment for young people. i know the government kim, which number of approaches to chicken that it was initially on that the office of the vice president of the ministry was created to achieve that the ministry for humanitarian intervention on that the the municipal people from said yeah, that should have done a lot to be the problem for an employment in nigeria. okay. for the 1st. okay. now do you think we're getting quite close seen to the different personalities in the characters that have an impact on that particular issue? so i just want to move the conversation on a little bit. going back to mike su 4 and a boucher, isn't it the case that mr. hurry may be wants to be seen as a strong man, but he's actually quite
3:49 am
a weak president. he's not in control of any aspect. i might argue to you of the country at all. we've still got mass kidnappings going on. we still got regional troubles. we've still got an economy flat lining. we still got just as in 8 as of april this year. 1800 prisoners escaped from a maximum security prison very, very easily. he's not running the country well, the like you said bridges need to be read this call about to. ready be change, which is about to need to be if we draw some show that we get these
3:50 am
stroma, that'd be nice to show the doctor the like i said, the last let us look look at this dish. the dish come up. why the same solution for sure in washington coming back to you, is there almost a kind of a ritual istic, cyclical element to nigeria seems to me that whenever you get something that the president could tag or label has been quote, sedition in the regions because it's such a big country with massive rural areas that are not policed at all because because both of you had dent by that idea that the police force should be less centralized
3:51 am
. and this is happened under consecutive presidents. this happened with mr. over sancho and good luck, jonathan. there is the addition, they that those presidents tag the people behind what they perceive as sedition as being radicals or they tack them as being a danger to the state. that then leads to passivity and the risk goes away. but then it comes back again when we have the next president in the presidential palace to my does. so i am going to address that along with the question you asked. the other gentleman in boucher, which is like you said, my area is the big country. right. and i think that when we, when we have these discussions about hiring not run into country, i think we need to be realistic about the fact that you cannot expect if federal government to secure all of my carrier. i mean, let me put it this way, right? but least then you can not expect
3:52 am
a one federal government from abu jack to police all of nigeria. it's not actually practical. right? and it doesn't happen anywhere else in the world. and so, and the other part of it too, is that there is never any discussion about the responsibility of local or sub national entities in assurance. security. you know, what i mean? right now, even under the current structure, it is the state's responsibility to prosecute most crime, most crimes of speech crimes, unless they are federal crime. so, assault, kidnapping, you know, all of these things, that's the crime. you don't get justice and security without justice. you don't get security without justice, right? so injustice is a part of the problem that is driving insecurity. because if somebody, i talk my fun and it's all my farm and nothing ever happens to them. right? which again, remember, is the wrestling committee to prosecute? yes, of course the federal police has to arrest that,
3:53 am
but we need to be talking about why aren't we see more prosecution at the state level? because until you prosecute those people, you will continue to have clashes. if somebody a talk my front, nothing happens to them. the next thing i know i'm organizing people to go to them . then you see that like over and over again, just caution and like we say, you know, wasn't somebody not bu jack is not doing x, y, z. what are all the other sub national supposed to be doing control? so basically what you're saying is that the, the difference between policing, self policing, and revenge, i guess, which is kind of understandable if there is no police force in the massive region that you and your family live in. audio mysa, there in coventry. when mr. hurry says booker, her rom has been, and i, this is a direct quote. technically defeated. can i suggest to you? nobody understands what that really means because it's meaningless and nobody's buying it anyway. while the technical defeat would mean little things,
3:54 am
i personally believe of the time for them or you said, book or heard have been technically defeated. he actually meant it. and i believe in that book or her, i'm have been significantly weekend now. it was live for the government was to move from that point of how we can in each to the 15. if does it mean it mean moving on from the military action to winning the mind of the people including the the, the address themselves. because i don't believe book company would be one in the battlefield. or the, i mean every, i mean every fortune has got its soft on the belly. you cannot completely win war from ideology by using military force. one of my colleagues,
3:55 am
john mentioned on america defamation, the issue or from injustice. you cannot get peace without some justice. ok. how did you happen in the past? the good value, i'm going to interrupt you that because we are heading towards the end of the program in a minute. amaco and who is there? another aspect to that, the situation in nigeria for those people who are protesting this a perfect storm, the global terrorism index, end of last year. it made the point to concluded in its latest report saying this that the b epicenter of islamic state iso had moved from syria and iraq to this a hell region. those 10 countries that go from west to east africa that are north of nigeria. isn't that a problem for any nigerian president because booker, her rom gets kind of sucked in to this into nice line conflict between those different groups. but basically want to take over the cell region and are in real time, as we speak day after day, week after week, we report on this channel all the time causing trouble in those countries. but
3:56 am
booker, her rom, has an axe to grind with those groups. and those groups have an ax to grind with book around. right, and sorry, is your question just asking if that's true. well that kind of comes together with a weak presidency and it's the people of nigeria that suffer. well yes, i mean you've raised absolutely salient point, right, which is insecure, read it and then type a hell and how it dr. insecurity in northern minder and in the rest of the country . absolutely. and we also have to consider the facts and the role that the fall of libya pleads. right. and if you look at the records, if you look at the historical records, you can see a very clear path break from around 2011 after the full of libya is after the ration in all of the insecurity trends in this house. because you had, you know, cheap armed fluid in through already poll borders. right. and so i'd like to make you highlight the definitely
3:57 am
a broad structural issue here is an issue of border control or us board as an all of that is only kind of still can what was already a prototype ground with poverty and unemployment. and also some of the problems that you know, intersect and to cause the level of insecurity received today. ok, we have to leave our discussion that for this episode, this edition of inside story. thank you so much to, i guess they will, might edge your full amaica uncle and alice mussa and thank you to for your company . you can see the show again. anytime via the website al jazeera dot com. and for more discussion, go through our facebook page. let's facebook dot com forward slash ha, inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter handle as ever, at ha insights stores for me, peter toby and the team here in dough. huh. thanks for watching. we will to you very soon for the moment. i
