very many places i'm leaving out id. said before i have slipped off the bridge before i dissed. before my life for that imam says small nobody don't want me no food no anything smugglers promised to bring cattle the united states instead she was trying that in libya for three years she tells me she was forced to work as a prostitute and faced sexual abuse multiple times. every day of the deaths in no i cannot read say she marquez story is all too common in one chair young people forced to take a life threatening path in search of in life they don't see here experts say pulling young people out of poverty should be the priority of the government.

most of the responsibility it is contra to say how do i deal with a problem i have on my hands if you can just focus to help these people for the job for you finding your soul with who has no aspiration no who or whatever. you have a virtue to yourself to look at is one of the thousands of my grandson who returned to nigeria through the help of international organizations like the are you aware she must give nigeria a chance even if she gets no money for being an apprentice i have now for myself i see value from limb five if i see business to have some slight ups if i go to school back i can let my work. and maybe i can travel time in the country back but for now without an income those plans remain a dream. i have a go of it's in

a budget now and on the phone we have an empty obasi he's the senior analyst for nigeria for 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 versus. real. offering the firm for instance about providing infrastructure our people are proving my real . people are including fortune burkman from the money put up meant for the little different we find you there while for the reason you want you to to notice once more to the thirty three article about these more than two months to present time gershon and promotion of president of christ our search engine of growth for the fundamental difference yeah of course article being the capsule is that he is

but more that hoffa photo is in this election we know that most of registered voters are aged between fifteen and thirty five you've got 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 conference realities. quite frankly the fools who think that. oprah's recent candidacy couples are going to be a little more he's willing to use. he has more young people in his employment and his campaign have also be to others a lot 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 say that he should be more sensitive to the young people were developed from his anyway if it's to be transmitted to really and it's talk about

that reality what is nigeria's prospects after this election. well it's very close and by the fourth election and. we're not sure of who is going to win at this point. is the future will depend on who we are and what direction he wants to take the country to but fact is also that we are images that we will have a huge stock of if the economy's in my one time moving it forward security issues are proliferating across the country on and momentous as an all time high and so on so they're not they're not going to be any quick fixes them on 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 selena to 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 harley 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 what we can also see is that a few club about to come in has ramped up you know momentum by significantly in recent times and used to them even to get quite some groans and the government is you know 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 appreciated them deal by fia senior analyst at international crisis group in nigeria thank you so much for your insight. thank you. the president of mali ibrahim bill baka cato 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 a spoke about how the fight against extremists in the east was impacting the west. starting out in somalia 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 flee into 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 when you. live a long time neglect of northern mali also cause the security problems in the region . 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 our beloved mistress so that we can guarantee basic social needs like schooling health care and infrastructure. and then miss something would 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 those from. one way of taking responsibility is molly's participation in the d. fives and force of french backed five thousand 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 regime of african women from history as well as the spiritual connection to the lad. next in between the land herself and her ancestors explored in this wanting video by a south african artist sitting below mr sound in. a sought after artist in africa

mrs allen 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 fighting their own humanity and of finding some way to within the landscape but also are finding soulful reflections that happen within the space as the artists exploration of the landscape in 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 saw in part this body of work speaks about this assuring of incest role or spiritual realm speaking to issues of that 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 fortified this and where she comes from and the religious roots and also the politically charged. circumstances under which she takes the photographs where she places herself and how she places himself to be able to come here and kind of relate to know with the eye to see all kind of walled in or hit on three you know it all comes out and says free and kind of thing something that is also quite meaningful for me is quite revealing. that's it from the news africa for now you can catch that of all of the stories on
