should have like a kind of education. for more on this of like to bring in dr. from the africa dyess or a 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 and in the pause there's always been a trigger that 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 graf you know i've been there in the past we have had various incidents we do these and again we're not saying that i think of this but the last day that we have a lot of you know our comments in speeches that have been going on our political leaders starting from last year because this is and that she knew it so in the electioneering process is we have seen a lot of putting together leaders since you know of its detriment and this led to

us you know last year i think to the if you can of electronically in order for them to put great dimensions in terms of what you know these twenty games may and may not say because we believe that this is that means a dark and if my parents survive you know and they are the one point eight speeches i got just about to the south african government saying that this is criminality and not saying the soul of what is your response to that in every case as in the whole here is you know economic to be despised weapons and more to that we believe that this is criminality not the whole deal when it is targeted to particular mission house and it's not a general you know i mean crime it becomes very untrue in our view because as long as the credit is back in a safe i think india's case is my we and i have enough tact and bubbly and even somebody in the boat and yes if you persist then that's the. right just about that

my last question to you and please give us a brief on so you know what in your opinion. do you believe that south african authorities handling this matter with with k when we we don't really think that i mean you know the commitment that is a quite obvious one begun we believe that invested a lot of that is more. than enough to actually commit if i know how to get talks because we're not seeing deeper being honest and prosecuted you know what is right for i. was a misuse of. the african diaspora i'm sorry coming to us from johannesburg thank you. thank you very. soon ethiopia now where prime minister made swift and sweeping reforms have owned 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 these conflicts and

a 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. that is the capital of ethiopia there's a new energy here people have invested their hopes in their prime minister. he said you know good he brought us change that's why i call him a prophet you know never you know. there's men don't much 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 the 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. against the different as it was. that's now activists i'm not on the streets i'm not shouting i'm not all demonstration. may it's a comments online on current politics she finds that he has made many changes to the political system but says it's time for concrete change. as an ordinary citizen change still is social problem that a lot of those she doesn't hold is involved job. one reason mainstays days involved is her little daughter macy 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 you know you your house then fled here from eastern if you with her family you could get the embassies any they threw children in the river. they killed a pregnant women who couldn't run away any candidate beat others with sticks with nails in them and i did the most better they didn't need to get any much better what that would lead flowed in the streets like water any the net that we had any. more than eighty ethnic groups live in ethiopia. and these women are. driven from their home in a struggle over land and power i mean a is one of about three million people who fled. to how do you use multiple conflicts which i've opened up everywhere and this is not anything new if you look at the history of you know these transitions from

but a very 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 i will bring stability to ethiopia so that she can go home i want to talk some more about the change in ethiopia and i'm joined by issues have a hell of a africa hi isha so when you're in is obviously of so as popular as he was when he first came to power. burmistrov yama has a very big support among 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 those 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 has what about alito who has been praised for reforms among them appoints a cabinet comprise 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 justice sector

and she's responsible in reforming the sector so it's all that if they conflict as well in this country it's been rife and the prime minister of the ask meds does he have a concrete pad to tackle this issue that quite frankly has a long play if he didn't decide to change it within the last one year but the still there are tensions in different parts of the country for example in part of the region in some of the region there are still conflict is within different it in the kleins 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 than any communities and they are expected to came up with a sort of should but how fruitful this commission will be. right it has a great thing if you will be a set to hold an election next year what's the feeling about how that will go.

there are two groups one people some teams some good groups are expecting to postpone the may twenty two an election others are not ready for that thirty saves out no it must be held on time but there are so many problems we don't know whether the government is company in hell in this election because there are security problems in the country in different parts of the country for example the government is forced to to postpone the census so early in the election is another tough assignment for the government all right it says have a telephone date have a africa on that insight on ethiopia thank you thank you very much. and that is it from the news africa you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page we leave you now with pictures from ethiopia now that prime minister
