this is africa coming up in the next 15 minutes. liberia people fed up with corruption on the ongoing economic hardships demand solutions from president will. speak to the political activist. the zimbabwean government. whose booming business was targeted by let's not. do what you would you want to do my land. you'd soon did we start in liberia where is growing against presidents george where after a massive demonstrations on friday a protest coalition of civil society groups on the opposition party members issued

a list of demands thousands of liberians took to the streets of monrovia on the save the state to protest against president george risk management of the country. has been impossible almost 80. the protest has been of a petition to the minister of justice with a list of demands including the sacking of the finance minister. and a recent scandal involving $100000000.00 in mis and bank notes since we became 1st and the current house devaluates that significantly said where tired and suffering under his rule. and what was the forget. what i read that you know up the country they. love it and. the. only. private one on one. all the fine

i think. the french open for the big apple before to be offended by that i. let it go look not i'm not not not of the people they're not real people or what you find out on that you know no doubt all over. president you'd like but not yet that evidence 2 that what i really don't know that much about if i'm on this i'm joined by many pocket he pointed to activists in the world yeah hello and thanks for your time and now i put this i gave in government in one month deadline to meet steady months what exactly. well. what the what the c o p finally read out amounted to 40 come out in 40 told to sit . on that list. mainly criticism around the lady economy's been run. issues of accountability and. reconciliation and

post-war. transitional justice issues just specifically the call for it is not just going to walk crown court although it put forth 42 minutes one can just group them to be broad categories not be caught in the about justice which is post-war of the suits chances are the justice missions and then. around the economy they run at least for this in that we witness in the total collapse of the light doing it all. now on me oust president has been in power for just over a year is that these demands i mean me to a result psych spec that this early. well we're past that point as to whether or not this fair i think the angle of the witness in monrovia is mouli. people that's president zine see that the economist is not

only stagnant but i think that gets in the works so that the engagement of the best political engagement we witness in isn't it press for must've transformation instead it is about maintaining the gains that they made i want preventing a back what's locked so if. us presidents things i get in where you are suggesting what does this really mean for his presidency. well it means you want he's on notice and the economy is going to be very key for him if he's to stay on if he's able to find political consensus to be gauged by a constructive dialogue with the opposition the president's own said a few weeks ago that dialogue is the way follow it backs up follow up on and he's able to get some sort of a political consensus to the mountain states to implement reform but speed is going

to be the watchword there's group patience and that in monrovia ok not not pretty previous governments have tried and failed you know it was the same criticism i thought president johnson sirleaf what. the conference didn't we are due to corruption in a country because that's one of the main things people are complaining about. well you have to muster the political will i know say it's the same things but then it's not just black and white a lot of gray in between. and he's managed in the medium term and the middle term effects of the quote crisis and collapse of commodity prices but he will have to he can't just point to the fact that you still have been on this absence of being demanded now and the reason the pressure is really ratcheting up on that and it's because he's also having to deal with these. red in the political resistance at

a time when the economy it's not all look so you have to find innovative means to do to jumpstart the economy he needs though it probably needs to win the support you have to reach out to me to be credible enough to get resources to respond to the economic questions so as to turn down depression and create space to work on the long term issues ok. but it's for activists in more obeah liberia thank you very much for your time. and an update to a story brought you last week did have a news article reported from zimbabwe on a white farmer fighting illegal bottle to hold on to his avocado farm which said his business was under threat from london vegas who claimed the land was testy told us that destruction had bought 600 jobs it's very following reports the government has stepped in to resolve the dispute between now the matzah have been effectively

dealt with and that zimbabwe respects property rights. we can't just run. them have opportunistic. region. because what you're looking at. is a $25.00. it's not an overnight. and it's not. joining me now is nick government spokesperson had already welcome and thanks for your time why did you decide to visit mr. sometimes when you'll hear him and

went in with a case so far away from each you need to be able to look at the to rain see the geography but more importantly see the process in that was and that is in place it farfalle i wanted to see for myself why are we saying this is very productive business where we say this is an export oriented business and way are we saying these fits very well in the narratives about was open for business so this was the people's of that is it ok now i don't know if i can link a purpose to this question is not to say that if if you went there and you found out that it didn't meet what your head that it met then one of the have been ok that his farm was taken away from him. no that wasn't when i change the outcome because when the when the cabinet. position or a decision it becomes policy saw that decision that was passed on the 28th of may was in sync with the with government police government policy is pronounced by

the president in these inaugural speech on the 24th of november 27th in and subsequent statements that have been made and the actual police passed by a cabinet on several occasions to the effect that. the land issue is no longer a racial issue it's no longer a question of race and more importantly. no productive lands would be taken but we're taking land anyway except that land which is too big for one person and when we have such a 100 population for land ok those ones would be downsized and people that it would have multiple farms these so-called multiple. land owners those ones who may lose some of them in terms of the land or does that who are carrying out but does that is what is the government policy is consent these particular phrase fitted well into the police ok sounds quite complicated some times the line will be

taking and giving to other or spread out to other farmers also but but but back to the main issue for discussion when all the awful were drawn so that you can actually own is own farm that's that's that's definitely a bureaucratic process so they offer letter that was given to mr mills and he's going to put it drawn and there is for mr. liviu he has to apply for it or more to be given that i mean for the lease agreement in terms of the government directive so it's a matter of we're talking we're really talking of administrative issues here i mean certain issues are not police issues once the police has been pronounce we may you know it may take long to draft of this document get into that obvious to be signed with the other but as i said it's administrative i don't think we should be very much bogged down bad mistakes of issues ok so ultimately he can relax because

things are going to go smooth he's going to still be in control of his own farm that's a yes right. that's a definitely yes now finally or you go sort of to continue waiting that's good finally before you go what is the government's doing about other farms facing similar threats what we pronounce on the 28th and want to pronounce it now is a policy police the police is that no productive land will be taken away from somebody who is purchasing nor a process it will be taken away for no price to anybody local to the suggestion of land and we also all property rights situation that's the position that is the fate of any other lands that falls into that category. ok thanks very much nic government spokesperson and i are. just it's an hour from africa all our stories on our website i'm facing today and if you're thinking about changing the. view with a range of ideas. from this year's like fall fashion week over the weekend to get
