we make up oh but we want tons of us in the under thirty five we are the civil service or. the want to keep the continent's future. youngsters as they share their stories their dreams and their challenges. the ship seven percent deep abuse platform. this is deja vu news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes dissent is on trial in cabin where opposition leader maurice comptroller is one of hundreds facing charges that carry the death penalty what osp rights groups if the international community is ignoring the crisis. and results are trickling in all to nigeria's election but some say there was no democracy in the polls.

and nation in the area. there is the religious. authorities decide any kind of treaties in the. region. and this is why we've seen the. huge massive wrists during the demonstrations in region last month all right so we're talking about the leader of the opposition going on on trial and it's not a point of view is that the procedure in the country that we're talking about cameron is that a judge is still assessing if there is enough evidence to go to trial and that's where we're at right now. i just want to know is there a chance some merit that this judge finds that there is not enough evidence and that there won't be a trial after all in which charges that could result in the death penalty could be

hurt. the chemical and the world of people that have been arrested more than one hundred thirty have been arrested. i think it's very well. attended to the instant warrants to the. overseas definitive cheating could be intense. and to death. disease is not nest in the summer and that not happen once during. sensitivity of the. travel really happen. despite the fact that it is not what could happen because we know how just a. function in cameras that can do in here is. very. i don't know what it is i've used. reason it's just too late.

to continue. ok so these are transient. ok so in effect this would be effective in stifling the opposition movement as it were some here on social media some cameroonians have expressed the fact that they feel that this situation is being ignored by the international community do you agree with that. reason the international community could have done more we've seen some. interesting initiatives from the u.s. for instance who has at decided at the security ed that is provided to the incoming government because of the human rights commission just might it's not enough also seen that the french authorities. said that they were concerned of

a situation and i think we need to more pressure from the international media and more from the main happiness of cameroon in the fight against terrorism we also need african union into ins international. the attitudes and human rights and ice consider that needed to not in any circumstance. and says sorry have jurisdiction of. all that you will have talking about i think until britain's the ira. ok so marital would amnesty international's west and central africa deputy regional director joining us from des casa de gaulle thank you for that. it's to nigeria now where officials have begun the announcing the results in the country's presidential election president obama has taken and early opposition candidates. winning

most of the states that have already been declared the country's main opposition party has called the partial results in correction an acceptable and in some parts of the country people say the poll wasn't free and fair a correspondent brings us this report from lagos. this is what is left of them oh by a polling station in the quarter the residents who are still angry show as a mobile phone video from election day a group of thugs attack to voters and burn down the ballot lagos this district is considered a stronghold of the opposition party. place a car for wanted to vote but that didn't happen. because of my poor unit there was just one police officer and he will not. win these talks game he was not going to do anything the police this one is not far from us just a call to call him but he's a big deal. and they talk to most couples who later they did it not only my pony

but so many put in these are running they wanted to stop everything sort of nobody wants repeated. so it's very very bad there's no that's nothing like democracy actually reduced in this in this part of the world right now. on social media there are further attacks on polling stations in this part of the city election authorities have not yet to determine whether or not there will be new elections in these districts but if they do decide on a revote then they must also announce when that will be election observers reported various problems voter intimidation snatching of ballot boxes votes buying according to different sources between eleven and thirty nine people have been killed in election violence but because of the history of elections in nigeria and the sheer size of the country many observations still say the election took place in a generally peaceful environment. also believes great progress has been made since previous elections he is an election observer from

a nongovernmental organization but incidents like the one in lagos gently need to be dealt with there must be a lot of investigation on. the political people that behind those who went to the. people who are meant to be beneficiaries of those actions and inactions and it is very important for the government to actually take that off so you see just. behind. us. one hundred percent talking about. any form of reprisal and government government. has most ensure that we all the people accountable for some of these actually very very combustible blasts okafor doesn't think that will happen he demands new elections so that he can finally use his vote and. it's now too while that this week's african kept cinema the film festival is to africa what the.
