a numbed he's the senior analyst for nigeria full crisis group. have you on the line welcome to news africa so we're talking about a nigeria today that has the most poor people in the world one of these two candidates offering voters has. real. offering reform pretty serious about providing infrastructure our people are proving my real . people are looking for talent purpose from the human development work a little different we find new birth one for them one reason for you two to be open once more to the three friends to come over these more than two months of present time gershon and promoting of president upright engine of growth. the fundamental difference yeah of course the tickle being the capsule is that he is but more that

hoffa photo is in this election we know that hoff of registered voters as i aged between fifteen and thirty five the two candidates the front runners both in their seventy's obvious candidates in touch with what is the overwhelmingly young electress. well with of the young people think as you would expect that they are out of touch with the current a reality. quite frankly people also think that. it was some kind of business you cover but it's a little more influence which. he has more young people in his employment and his campaign have also a ph others more of them musicians and artists and so on which are some sensitivity to the interest of young people but in terms of concrete policy i think. clinton has also talked more about creating jobs for young people so i think from that point of view you might see that he to be more sensitive to the young people were developed from his anyway. needs to be translated to really and let's talk about

that reality what is nigeria's prospects after this election. well it's a very given by the fourth election and. we're not sure of who is going to win at this point it is the future will depend on who wins and what direction he wants to take the country but fact is also that whoever emerges that we will have a huge stock of the economies in mind what tasks will be forward security issues are probably pretty much across the country on and my major back an all time high and so on so they're not they're not going to be any quick fixes the norm at all there's not going to be any radical change it is going to be among a long haul before we can see light at the end of the tunnel there could be a missile back to before we let you go i mean we are talking about a continent where we do not see all that much change in a political front

a lot of people are wondering is bill harvey likely to return. well the moment it's difficult to see we've had various opinion polls some pointing to you know he is returning and you know he's moving out so it's difficult to see advantages when we can also see that a few club has come in has ramped up you know when momentum significantly in recent times and used them even to get quite some groans and the the government is struggling to. stem the tide to move that gap so at this point we can't say whether it will come back or most ok all right we appreciate it numb deal but i see a senior analyst at international crisis group in nigeria thank you so much for your insight. thank you. the president of mali you bring him back ok to was recently in berlin for talks with these german counterparts the background in short

is that german troops are in mali on a un peacekeeping mission that's said to be one of the most dangerous in the world exclusive interview with spoke about how the fight against extremists in the east was impacting the west. starting out in somalia a terrorist attacks have spread to east africa ever since the westgate shopping mall attack and there will be in two thousand and thirteen has set its sights on the continent but not only in the eastern part of africa. may be many of the terrorists that international forces are fighting in east africa fleeing to the sahara region the current and i keep in libya allows this to happen this bothers us a great deal and we have to bear the consequences of peace in this a hell is vital for the whole world if there are international agreements that we want to spend billions of dollars to help the eastern part of the continent fight

terrorism we also should take care that it doesn't shift to the other end of the continent if the protective wall of this a hell breaks it will come to you in europe with. my long time neglect of northern mali also cause the security problems in the region. and. we realized we had to reconquer do is areas not only talking about military force this also had to be done on the political side we need exchange and dialogue we need to keep up all administration so that we can guarantee basic social needs like schooling health care and infrastructure. and then do something to do. this process has started well but we have to be aware if we are the population to return home then we have to no doubt the authorities can protect them in any case

of danger this is a big effort for us to be taking on this responsibility who. is making this from. one way of taking responsibility is molly's participation in the d. five and force the french backed five men joint mission we spoke enough fossil mauritania niger and tucked. ok it's not just presidents and politics today we do have some culture to a new exhibition that's just opened in london shows the works of south african artist. and it raises questions about the a range of african women from history as well as the spiritual connection to the lad. nation between the land herself and her ancestors seems explored in this wanting video by a south african artist said to be mr zanna. assault after an artist in africa mr

zahn is now celebrating his first solo sherry in the u.k. . showing my work here in london doesn't mean that there's a different audience but it doesn't mean that no one can necessarily connect with the work within the work you know there are traces of of people finding their own humanity and of finding some way to within a landscape but also are finding so often reflections that happen within these spaces the artists exploration of the landscape and history come a south africa grapples with how to rectify the inequality of landownership this body of work kind of surfaces in a time where south africa is having conversations around land reform and changing the constitution to allow for that form and so in part this body of work speaks about this assuring of incest or spiritual realm speaking to issues of lead because the land is where the bones of our ancestors our rituals and traditions are

exhibition visitors value this makes of the spiritual with the political i love her work it is so it is a very. good interplay with her spirituality. and the foresight this and where she comes from and the religious roots and also the politically charged. circumstances under which she takes the protocols when she places herself and how she places the stuff to be able to come here and kind of relate to know we've been watching this all kind of walled you know here on three you know on kind of and so it's free and kind of thing something that is also quite meaningful for me is quite revealing.

that's it from date of the news africa for now you can catch that all out of the story is on our website and facebook page because of work and study we leave you with more upstanding mcs that is where i thought now. it's time to. take a closer look at modern culture from. cults a culture on the topic. hey listen up. that's what video game music sounded like thirty years ago. today's tracks take the experience to an upper level punk a sense to him talk composer claimants are. featured in many
