foreign nationals are safe in south africa that meeting is set to continue on friday. now we asked south africans for their thoughts on why isn't a phobia in their country is often directed at africans you know it is like. they discovering it as they can so absolutely because there's no tomorrow it's not thinking about the people i think this is a way to make the we. that's what it is it doesn't seem so africans can be. so much the other africans are actually taking their drugs because that is what's happening i'm not saying that it's with our cause because they do come here looking for great opportunities and i think they are great they're going to have most of the family and not a way of the relationship that we have amongst each country of africa with the thought african so i think the government all the other

should have like account of it to cation. for more on this of like to bring in dr. from the african diaspora forum it's an ngo that was set up offices in a phobic attacks in south africa in two thousand and seven in which sixty people were killed while come sit d.w. africa doctors about the in the pas there's always been a trigger sets off this violence and attacks on on foreign nationals what is believed to have sparked this latest incidence. thank you very much thank you very much and good afternoon i think there in the past we have had indeed as leaders these and again we have saying that i think that we have lost our common feature that i think even our political leaders back in from last year because the next june yet in the electioneering process these we have seen a lot of political leaders as you know for the deaf man and this led to our last

year i think to the independent electoral commission in order for them to put the regulations in terms of was you know these points made in the north say because we believe that there's this myth that they don't and that's my back. and they are the one point eight speeches the press about the south african government saying that this is criminality and not saying a full be a what is your response to that you know the kids are going to forget you you know economic. sense but more to that we believe that today that this is not enough enough all the way to get this through particular mission of. general. crime it becomes very untrue you know use because as long as it could you do it back and that's. been the case if my we develop enough facts and by we had some ideas developed and right and. then back to. write stuff about that my last

question to you and p.s. give us a brief on so you know what what in your opinion do you believe that's all african authorities are handling this myself with with k well we don't really think that i mean you know the commitment that they're quite happy to put on because we believe that it did a lot of that mall of this that these you know they actually committed to and you know what they get back because we're not seeing people being out it didn't cause it you did you know what they tried for i all right just i was in the the salon the african diaspora for coming to us from johannesburg thank you. and very. soon ethiopia now where prime minister may have slipped and sweeping reforms have him international acclaim and domestic popularity some supporters say he deserves a nobel peace prize but he also faces big challenges millions of internally displaced people if it conflicts and the growing frustration that politics isn't

changing fast enough we'll talk more about that in a moment but first here's more how on how people in ethiopia are reacting to their lead as first year in power. the capital of ethiopia there's a new energy here people have invested their hopes in their prime minister. he said i'm no good he brought us chains and that's why i call him a prophet you know never you know. there's men don't watch happiness in the country now because of abi but. i'm going to get my letter this time on. this is the man they're talking about. he's been prime minister in ethiopia for year and in that time he's opened up the country and undertaken radical reforms concluded a peace treaty with arch enemy eritrea and released thousands of political prisoners now he's treated like

a pop star. some however are still withholding judgment like teacher made some muhammad she was active in the opposition and was arrested multiple times in demonstrations against the old regime. or wish list a different it was. one. that's now activists i'm not on the streets i'm not starting i'm not on demonstrations. made to comments online on current politics she finds that he has made many changes to the political system but says it's time for a concrete change. as an ordinary citizen change it's still there is social problem that a lot of those she doesn't have does involve job. one reason mates or stays involved is her little daughter mansi hopes that ethiopia will become a more just and equitable country. success

is also shattered by ethnic conflicts that have broken out in the multi racial society this is a refugee camp. i mean i you know has send fled here from eastern if you know with her family you get the seize any they threw children in the river . they killed a pregnant women who couldn't run away any candidate because there's with sticks with nails in them and i did the most but if he didn't if he did any much better what that over the blood flowed in the streets like water any the net that he had any idea. more than any ethnic groups live in ethiopia i mean and these women are a rumor driven from their home in a struggle over land and power i mean a is one of about three million people who fled. this multiple conflicts which have opened up everywhere and this is not anything new if you look at the history of you know these transitions from but

a bit of rigid dictatorship into a sort of liberal democracy that period is extremely dangerous. i mean it is slowly losing patience with the prime minister but she still hopes that i mean will bring stability to ethiopia so that she can go home you know i want to talk some more about the change in ethiopia and i'm joined by. africa hi isha so why don't you hear him is obviously if so as popular as he was when he first came to power. burmistrov a very big support from a good europeans but that doesn't mean there are questions over his government his leadership and his decisions especially after his government failed to support internally displaced people in different parts of the country so many ethiopian citizens out of questioning how his government is committed to this

sort of some problems to answer some questions in the country and the rule of law is another question there are so many problems in different parts of the country so . people are asking where that he's government is really competent in. protecting lawful or protecting good. citizens from tax in different parts of the country right i mean he is what about a video who has been praised for reforms among them appoints a cabinet comprised fifty percent of women itself his critics are now saying that he is running a one man show. that's a legitimate question definitely but there are some signs within the government to give the assignment to different government institutions for example as you know the first chief justice is assigned to the head to justice sector

and she's responsible in reforming dissected so it's all that if they conflict as well in this country it's been rife and the prime minister of the ask madge does he have a concrete pad to tackle this issue that quite frankly has run plagued if he did decide to change it within the last one year but the still there are tensions in different parts of the country for example in southern part of the region in talk of the region there are still conflict is within different it's a new clients there is a tension between the armada and to great regions in the north. his government came up with a commission which we. studied these conflicts we didn't different they can make communities and they are expected to came up with a sort of should but how. this commission will be we will see that it has a brief if they are this set to hold an election next year what's the thinking

about how that will go. there are two groups one people some teams some group groups are expecting to postpone the may twenty two an election others are not ready for that so they said that no it must be held on time but there are so many problems we don't know whether the government is capital in his in this election because there are security problems in the country in different parts of the country for example the government is forced to postpone the census so early in the election is another tough assignment for the government all right it says have at it from day to every africa that insight i did have thank you thank you very much. and that is it from the news africa you can catch all our stories on our web sites and facebook page we leave you now with pictures from ethiopia and now that
