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 insidiously do these and back again we're not saying that i think it is but it lasted we have a lot of you know our government in speeches that have been given are our political leaders starting from last year because this is an election year so it will be electioneering causey's we have seen a lot of political leaders since you know of its depth and this little you know last year i think to the independent electronically in order to put regulations in terms of what you know at this point you made a may not say because we believe that this is that everyone's a duck and if my parents spoke you know we got facts and they are the one point eight speeches i ducked just about to the south african government saying that this

is criminality and not saying a phobia what is your response to that in any case as you know who 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 islands 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 accurate as a private you can be excused if my reasons aren't enough facts about williams in somebody and it's all right and if you persist then that becomes right 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 don't really think that i mean you know the commitment that is there quite obvious in one begun we believe that invested a lot of that is more. than you know the act of committing to and you know how to

get talks because we're not seeing different being honest and prosecuted you know what is right all right doug so it 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 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 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 leaders 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 and that's why i call him a prophet you know never you know. there's men don't touch 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. just a different it was. one. that's now artists i'm not on the street i'm not shouting i'm not the 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 a concrete change. as an ordinary citizen. still is social problem. he owes she doesn't have does involve job. one reason mates is days involved as her little daughter mansi hopes that the opiah will become a more just and equitable country. yes. bobbie success is also shattered by ethnic conflicts that have broken out in the multi racial society this is a refugee camp. i mean a year has send fled here from eastern if you know with her family we did become seize 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 do any much better what that over the lead flowed in the streets like water money the net that we had any. more than eighty 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 and have you know this 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 argument 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 if ships have

a killer from africa hi isha says so when you're in is obviously it so as popular as he was when he first came to paula. burmistrov yamaha's a very big support on my 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 citizens out of questioning how his government is committed to this sort of some problems to unset some christians in their 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

it libya 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 justice sector and she's responsible in reforming dust sector so it's all that if they conflict as well in this country it's been rife and the prime minister be asked meds does he have a concrete pad to tackle this issue that quite frankly has a long plagued if he did decide to change it within the last one year but the still there are patients in different parts of the country for example in part of the

region in terms of the region there are still conflict this within different it in the kleins there is a tension between the amount 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 this sort of should but how fruitful this commission will be. right it has a briefing if the o.p.'s 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 heading 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 helping the election is another tough assignment for the government all right it says have a good effort on the day to 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 way of science and face book page we leave you now with pictures from ethiopia now that prime minister made has been in office for a time. what
