i have i'm yeah. okay. 2022 in africa has seen political and environmental challenges, groundbreaking sporting achievements in the walk up. and now people across the continent are look in your head to the new year to day on the stream. 3 stories that will make headlines in 2023, including prospects for peace in sedan and a present to election in zimbabwe. nigeria, if you look to join in the conversation, you can do so on youtube. ah, so we start with nigeria where they are less than 10 weeks to go before general election that we decide who will succeed. present bahama, do bihari? joining us, we have out 0 correspondent ahmed address already. so good to have you here. welcome to the stream. welcome back to the stream. oh, we are so good about knology or an election starts. i weeks away. most people that feel like a very long time, but campaigning has been going on. pretty much all 2022. what is it like to be

nigeria right now? is there election fever? are people wary? what are they like? a combination of both and mall. basically you're looking at an event that occurs probably once every 4 years. nigeria is a lot of like, excited. so the come back for some people, businesses, it's good business di there will make money from the politicians and in preparing election materials and preparing company metrics and all that. again. on the other hand, that are concerns regarding the elections that are hopes and aspirations that are also frustrations. people are frustrated about their policy in the past 4 years. 8 years since the return of democracy is a question of expectations not met, disappointments on the part voters. but again, one of the most interesting things for me,

people may think that because of these frustrations nigeria is, was sort of sit back and forget about the max is rather showing some interest in the election. it's not so. a few months ago, the election commission conducted a new registration exercise for people who attend the age of 18, the board to people who lost the cards and things like that. and they registered many 1000000 just on the register. so it shows you that there is interest in the campaign process, but again, it also could be because of the new faces in the election lessons that haven't yet . yeah. let's look at, look at some of the candidates. i'm curious, are any candidates under 100 years old because my jewelry and politicians tend to be on the senior side. so we put together 3 potential president for niger. it won't know till the end of every. but let's take a look. this is paula to new. what do we need to know about bala?

while i was governor of state is credited with transforming legal state from barry and performing state to one of the most vibrant states in the past may go stages among. it's probably the only state one of the few states in general, that kind of salaries without relied from grants from the federal government. it's economy, it's robust business, it's there, and he's been credited with transform and they go state is what it is today. he's also credited with raising a lot of political people in this country, from ministers, from the vice, even the vice president with his 4 by 8 and when he was governor, not soft things, absolute apc's or the all progressive congress. we saw a little bit of apples to apples backer. this is from the he's a candidate from the people's democratic party. and then also we're going to look

at peace obee, who is from the labor party. tell us the difference between the people democrats, party, candidate, and peter opi. now he toby, was running, made surprisingly. toby was b rodney major worker in the previous election in 2000 and i p. now peter will be dropped out of the presidential race and the pdp to join the labor party because he felt that if one of the shortest car for him to become president. and there is a lot of a band we're going to affect with what people will be right now across my many nigeria as young the jurors are frustrated with the way people over the age of 7080 . and even ninety's been handling this country. they find it difficult to relate with these elders. now you know how it is enough, especially if not get away. we are told to respect our eldest and people hardly criticize elders, but these people will be a young man that they can criticize and confront when it needs to be. and that is

helping p, toby gather some support on on many projects. however, that is not the end of the discussion. that serious challenges a piece will be seems to be sort of becoming more and more popular with younger voters as well as votes from the south. that is an unwritten agreement, by the way, to me, because i didn't politicians after every 8 years of power in a particular region in the north for example, after bahati, a boy is 80 is the power power is supposed to ship to the south of the country and peter will be represent that not because he is from the south, but because a lot of people feel that they was hobbled, presented a presidential candidate or even won a presentation election in j at 692 sixty's when number is equated, became president wall officer morning role because it was

a positive interest system of government. so a lot of people wanted to give me that benefit of the doubt and they wanted to see a young and vibrant person needed and i get however, they feel that many and i get us will feel that people will be as inexperienced and perhaps hasn't understood the re guess a politics in a country like legit but a format so a formal yeah. yeah yeah. but a form of government. absolutely. and you mentioned 3, you mean 3 candidates by the way. yeah. but the fact of the matter is that it's another full force to the we're talking about revenue more so now a bullet to nibble is expected to do well in the south of the country. and there are elements of the ruling part to the apc while willing to both paula, i'm a treatable to power, but again, in the know the, there are a lot of, or just going to global also because it's based in the south of the country in the southeast, a picture to me from one of the south is stage governor. cool. now i'm going to,

i'm going to move them on a little bit because we could spend the entire show talking about potential candidates and the divide between the north and the south. i want to bring in some voters voices because they seem quite engaged with the process. and these voters were in my to carry, which is in the northern part of nigeria was often seen as the most part of the nigeria. and this is from november. this is what they had to say about voting in february. i live out what's before because no, i gets my right choice. that's why i'm what's yes. yes, this is my choice. that's why i'm what's in this them are on your psychology are facing. is that the lead us we have no, dear wound give rose our choice. it when we, if we have voted for our choice. ah, there will be one fanatics. always so many opinions about nigerians when it comes to politics, but who is listening to how the election is run the infrastructure for the election

. that is part of the story for not driven election. surely tell us not absolutely . the infrastructure of the process itself is based on previous experiences. we're seeing how electrons run in such a stage. i lectures don't hold in such an area and then you see snatching speed violence, manipulation results, and all that. then go to court and a court declared judgment on these cases. however, the elections this yeah, will be so close by the way. i mean, it's so close right now that the election commission is even thinking of the possibility of having a run off in that genet this. this will be the 1st step by the right. and this is because of the mix, the mix of the presidential candidate median position. so talking about while i mentioned it was parties, the governing party was just a solid base across nigeria. the p d. p which has been for 16 years, is also

a solid political party in the country. and the, the labor party which peter or b is a flood bearer, is an up and coming, polished, took part in agenda and he's getting traction. and again, the puzzles we are talking about, it's robin was so close from carlo. we set to divide that northern folks used to be in choosing prestige. i did, i have his own show. we obviously need to show that the not june election and it could just be ahmed and maybe want to guess, but i don't think necessarily needs guess. i'm going to bring one more. louis, this is really important. this is abby old and she's executive director of global rights nigeria, wondering about how well these elections will be run. this is what you told us. now has already been estimated by the state newspaper that mom and 608 to 6 wards of the 8812 wards in nigeria and not safe for elections if almost 8

percent of all of the wards in nigeria and nazi for electrons can those electrons be considered free of air? you need to think about the factors that affect security as well. that there's so much divisiveness, so much hate speech. there's a lot of fake news out there. i so and dave, yeah, go ahead on my favorite play that's. that's what on, and by the way, it's not only in those local governments, she's talking about, it's a problem that respecting the whole of niger from the north east. walcott, i'm still a little pause in that region where bender trees in the northwest of the country and the central parts of large appendages cannot be good, but could not be across nigeria. and this is what we witnessing over the past few years. it's the rise of a separatist movement, the pro, be operable, but be independent people. so yeah, for which has been burning and talking on the stations and election offices in the country. so

a lot of concern is being raised about the possibility of conducting peaceful elections in this area. this character was promising to support the elective commission to come back up very much. but a lot of nigeria, but leave the elections of such an interest in the country as a way things stand level. i'm going to stop us now because it will be 10 weeks election time. but i wrap this up right now on youtube. let me just tell you, some of the feedback that we're getting realize are says it's difficult for the youth to participate. they feel left out in government issues. emani. thank peter. obee would have had a fighting chance as people see him as the only candidate who really had a vision. but his choice for the p was not well forward out. and then on twitter some thoughts here. what are the and during elections about religion? have a look here on my laptop at mister t, tribalism. and in my jury of politics, pivots around economy and religion. we have 10 more weeks to discuss my june elections and interests will be with us,

but for now i say thank you very much and i really appreciate your analysis the same. so next we moved to sedan falling a p still between military leaders and a coalition of pro democracy parties. could that be peace in 20? $23.00. hello. hey, is a political analyst. she joins us from london. hello. it's really good to see you. i want to start festival with a little report about where we are with see done with the latest framework deal with the deal that frameworks a transition to civilian running of c dan. that transitional process has been for stored and this is how we reported it on december, the 5th on out as a let's have a look. a new deal between for dance, military and political parties, the framework agreement aims to and the political deadlock. it allows for a new transitional government, more than a year after the military depots,

the previous one. or the longer the reality has made us all remove ourselves and our political interests and place the interests of the nation and the people above all or before whose every time we speak. people are unhappy with whatever deal there is or whatever till they is it. so if you were going to characterize this phrase, what deal, what would you say it is as, as, as neutral as you can be that even possible? what's on the table? in many ways this deal is a placebo. it makes us feel good. it makes signatories feel like they're signing up to something that will, you know, realize the dreams and then the sort of the desires of the 2018 revolution, which we have to remember, unseated the 30 addicted. she'll varman and machine, but it is a placebo. and this is just market and emotional reactions, very difficult to see how we move from this to the actual difficult work of dealing

with the issues that, you know, lead people to take to the streets and the 1st place i'm thinking about who's left out. because whenever sudan gets together, the military political leads, sometimes the people often left out. there are always people who left out of, of that, of, of that phase. and then that then means that where, wherever you've, whatever you've achieved, you can't then go on to the next phase because people be left out and then they become your position voices and they stop the progress from happening. if there is to be progress, are we in that same situation again? absolutely. i mean this deal hasn't really done anything different. in fact, it has in many ways reproduced all the was characteristics of previous he'll be, they political settlements like this one or piece deal. and what's different now is that you have something you reported on many times,

which is this very large body called of assistance committees who are robust independent and had to maintain the momentum approach to democracy activities for the past 4 years this month. and they are completely outside of this framework. there are other groups as well who outside of, it's like the limits were loyal to the ship. and some former rebels who signed the piece of the 2020. but by and large, the people you want to have on board the future constituents in an election a completely out of this deal. so thinking about how it's going to, you know, sort of bring about the kind of changes, transformational changes that people that i want to see. it could be very difficult without them is i'm just looking at my laptop here, the us ambassador to see dad. why does the us say there is now a credible path to find a agreement that will take done out of the current political crises? we respectfully urge all c denise stakeholders to seize that opportunity. that is

optimism right there. why? i mean, the international community needs the steel to work out, and i think that that's sort of why you, you see a lot more optimism, a lot more support for the feel within the international community, particularly western countries. more than you see within, you know, so domestic communities and constituents. and so this is led to the sense of the steel is actually for the international community that they are the one who get the most out of it. they get to restart their age, you know, they have all this in mark funding that hadn't been able to be spend since the qu, they get to re engage with the government. once again, there are certain countries, particularly in the region thinking of the us in particular, who wants to sign deals related to, you know, comic interests, et cetera, and all of that unpalatable off to the coo. and now this sort of sanitize of the feel sanitize of relations and engagement with the sydney government. but how this sort of translates to steel translates into, you know,

transformative changes for people for that is still very much up in the earlier respecting design. and she's a researcher and she was skeptical about this deal, which instantly has to be ratified and sign and signed off in, within 30 days. the everything has to be achieved by mid january, which is an incredible task for that to happen. this is what we've done told us earlier. this still is manifest and very little change in our reality incident. and from what i witnessed, it has no impact on the strength or the frequency of the process. there continue in reject of any form of military rule. so dislike them, the hostile resistance committees fox person, was described that it is more different from the 2019 agreement as they are both agreements between fractions of the lead coming together to stop any realty in a real democracy in any real em redistribution of wealth. that serves the majority of his and his population is also another thing with my, their international committee, just like in 2019 to force the government of killers on us. and to solve this of in

his revolution. i cannot forget the least a 120 protest as few were killed during the crew of 2021. where is the justice for those people who died live? she just protesting, raising their voice, saying, this is what we want for our country. where he sat in the still frankly, nowhere you know the deal and you have to remember the framework agreement is a preliminary deal. the final deal is you said it meant to take place to be signed off on a month off the initial deal. so early january and within that timeframe, justice is a big issue that is meant to be spoken about. it's meant to be negotiated on that meant to be consensus around that. but the already signed that actually the signature of audi agreed to some level of amnesty and immunity for the 2 main general to lead last year as to which already constrains the extent to which people can feel justice is done. and we have to remember this, the country where does this for the full? it's still 17 years in the making and 12 of the very sort of slow,

slowly coming together. there's a lot of resistance from the regime and cartoon about supporting those trials. we have currently several cases of miscarriage of justice as a 17 year old boy. mm hm. and adam known locally a to puck, who has been, had undergone torture to exact a full confession, in his cases becomes, of the landmark cases of them. which shows the extent to which children with the 5th is going to be quite intrusive and has had thank you so much for giving us your view of what is likely to be making headlines in 2020 through 2023 from sudan. appreciate you. many thank you for me. finally, 2023 is set to be a p t f, as in bob way with the countries present, expected to face a strong challenge in a general election privilege. my son, he is a journalist coverings in bob where he joins us. he's placed in doha, qatar at the moment. but looking ahead to the election candidates

privilege, we have 2 options or other more than 2 options. privilege, where are we? was in bobby's elections. best kelly, as you have said, there are 2 major contenders. yes, the incumbent president, muscle managua, and nelson shaneesa was leading the new opposition formation. the citizens cooperation for change. of course, there is a league you and of other small political parties, but these are the 2 main candidates to main figures when you about when you talk about politics in zimbabwe in the forthcoming 2023 general elections. i'm just looking at nelson. she miss on his twitter banner, change champion b. how's the new, what is he afraid?

this new to the broadway? you know, it's hard to say what's new that's being often safe to say that you know, he is a person that has come out of the ranks of the movement for democratic change, which has been challenging the ruling party in the past 20 years. yes, of course you broke away from the can teachers and the if you know functional and the breaking patsy. moving for don't democratic change to form the season correlation for change. so what you can say may be probably is that the use energetic use somebody who is the can identify with the younger generation that is also aspiring to see young people taking

the reins of leadership in zimbabwe. and he carries might as well, you know, you, your cause and he went on alone who is involved. right. is that even possible? it's, it's not really possible. yeah. to just wait on korea. my only. that's why you find that those that are in the ruling party ranks the coffin human and say that he is much or you. he really needs more years for another 40 years then he can run in africa. all right, so i want to drill down into what is really important for the voters. so in november, i'll just do it through matessa. we're putting on the cost of living in zimbabwe. have a look, have a listen once making hang a candle. marcia palazzo and her daughter joyce on

a tight budget. right now they can only afford to spend $30.00 on groceries. the only buying basics the family can't do without, but the price of some essential goods ins above we have gone up again. that means they taking homeless this month than they did the last was ever no one is there is nothing we can do and things are just too expensive. we try and stretch the little menu we have so we can buying back never enough. just very briefly. what are the key issues that are going to be important for voters come election time in bob? bye. what would i be? i think from these, the clips that we have just seen. this is the reality for many families in zimbabwe . the best seats. what makes people survive right now? it's a very difficult yes for a lot of families in barbara. so come,

going into this, listen, what is the back of the mind of every ordinary zimbabwe and is, how is this politician that is going to come into office where the, the one that we know already and may be the aspiring one from the opposition. what are they going to make the difference that they're going to make the people's lives? pretty good question to ask and we got to just leave it hanging for now. election. tiny, zimbabwe june, july. what month would it be constitutionally relations in zimbabwe are supposed to come between july and august, the according to our plan. thank you. privilege. we come back to you for the latest on said bob white, thanks for watching everybody. i'll see you next time. take care. ah, ah,

with african narrative, from african perspectives, only blooming gale and livid transmit total. well, i thought there was in a new series of short documentary, by african filmmakers from miami and gabon, soon been african the examples of creek, the weight may deem heritage and making her future africa direct on al jazeera, the pursuit of endless economic growth has caused the planet, there's a number of things that threaten our civilization as we know, and that's an existential threat. otherwise, off, if overhauling entrenched economic systems can help reverse the damage we missed

out from degenerative systems to regenerating the living route and meet the businesses balancing the books by making the planet as important as profit. that is a traumatic change for society. are we going to collapse or are we going to rise business critical on algebra? farming is changing drastically in romania with this year. some harvest devastated by drought. it's molder weather and lower rainfall would have changing the seasons . farmers around here say the early 2 seasons these days instead of fall the summer and the winter autumn this year in temperature terms only lasted a couple of weeks. 0 is planning differently for the year ahead. there'll be no some flowers, no call no weeks. all this bomb being replaced by crops, more resistant to drought used to feed lifestyle, not people. he and his son are slowly adapting, but climate change may well outpace them.
