former prime minister sick took twenty percent. area. money salwar out celebrating he's election win at sal's party headquarters in the capital. so moch it's all built he's really action campaign on a record of building roads and creating jobs a lot of infrastructure projects in the country going on he calls himself the builder of a modern cynical but sick and the opposition candidates maintained that the country's economic advances have not reached many senegalese people especially young men often risked everything to my great teacher. i want to bring in our correspondent well that's africa's jaime sunday at milan and he's going to be giving us more analysis at two this election really i just want to point out that we've had another big election result of a continent and that was nigeria we had

a lot of people call a fall day but let's start off by establishing a me if you will was this a free and fatal action i mean the city has a history of for conducting free and fair election and this one was no exception on that so observers from the european union from the unit you from the african union and or so from that to where i was the west african. union so they are saying that the process was going there that are free and very soon but there's a problem which is a bit confusing is that that position now rejects so the run a rope of mark is that he rejects the election even though he's saying he's not going to appear ok that's very interesting one ok so we're talking about. a see big infrastructure projects at the time that he's and he's the president the last him but take us into the minds of the people who brought back this president why do they feel like maki cell deserves another. i mean my mic you sent us from

has a supply means to to bring groove so he had he had a plane could. emerging senegal so it's a big project so i mean it tries to add to it too to bring groups to be pooled and try to walk on social issues but the us are destined some people who are disappointed or so by markets not yet because as he was saying much of that growth needs to translate into ordinary people's lives rémy markets so it's not without his critics what did they say about him. i mean it's still. there that two main trends i would say on the on the on the one and description on the other way and that is justice because corruption i mean it's also related because my case had two big open and two men open at the last may off that cough.

and or so the son of the last president guy in what who. actually when not being able they were not accepted to one to these elections so people and i kind of criticizing marcie side because they say that the justice system has to close with the president so that's that's what the critics say and the creatures are so say that. untie corruption and more of mant and politic is only only to what is opponent and naughtiness in his own in his in the middle income ok randy moss one very briefly what is this next time of macky sall like each adult like what does he need to do full young senegalese people i think one of the thing that he needs to do is to create more jobs you know for people so you have you have like i'm on the program three three which is both fifteen per cent which is the.

official figure so it's going to be more than that so i think there will be there will be are so very important if you can if you can do that so that young people wouldn't have seen it and we have seen that before from say a guy coming to europe and risking their life all right africa's raney my late talking to us about that cynical election result from body thank you thank you. now to the central african republic where if former activists and will get it for me in france has returned to his homeland in that war torn country to train what he calls soldiers off the lead it may not be what you think he has launched an organic farm in the capital bangui and is spreading the gospel of innovation while growing organic fruits and vegetables. she is a soldier of the land so is he to student farmers out of dozens training and

working for months at a time on these chemical free fields next to the all bunkie river. pascal b. dakota bailey is their teacher and the founder of this farm here is himself a student of the ecological farming movement in france through korea bailey's latest effort takes advantage of plants that offer homeopathic health advantages a natural insecticide and fungus side to raise juicy tomatoes. there's name artemisia there's also a plant that comes from the pygmy country that's the secret ingredient and then a blend discreated and it gives rise to this magic fertilizer yes it'll measure. at the end of their training correa bailey's students will return to their villages to use techniques in healthy and productive farming. but what their thoughts are martyrs assimilate the virtues of this healthy plant fertiliser we will have a tomato that is both anti carcinogen it and anti malarial that can be the best

medicine there is. organic farming in a country with a history of conflict and where most farms operate without machines. correa bailey says the obstacles can be overcome he's working on a micro credit banking scheme for his students for example a model for a new agriculture perhaps in the fields along the river. ok it's to south africa now and where sport is being used as a solution a nonprofit organization called growing champions is working to empower and inspire young people living in poor and violent townships one of those squalid eldorado pockets notorious for drug related crime it tops the list in terms of incidents in the province of how that's of africa's biggest province but is a story of growing champions. in eldorado park even the children

have been ravaged by drugs this is a community where only four in ten people have a job substance abuse is rife but some have already started the fight back to help kids here beat their odds the plan to empower young people through saka. we offer sports we also epidemic support and we offer character development programs so we teach them how to become good people with good choices understanding what they stand for living with and. the life lessons aren't just taught on the field but in group sessions like this one where young people can talk through their issues with a trusted peer. one like they learned a former gangster and reformed drug addict. and it's almost like picking the uk never know when it's going to open but a good many of those kids with menace to break the law clinton has changed her life
