growing increasingly frustrated by authorities failure to offer than adequate protection. joining me now is that abuse fred who recently visited the region has been closely monitoring the situation hello frank good to see you so the u.n. and e.u. training missions leave the country because it seems the situation is getting worse i mean the last. dozens killed. yeah yeah yeah that's true there have been serious attacks there. but also based on their security training i observed. which are some e.u. countries are taking part they are very important and they are contributing to have these countries like mari broken off or so to control or all to tackle the issues of militant groups so i think it's a serious situation but also it can be controlled. stuff that is very serious and
7:37 pm
it is very serious also very complicated how complicated exactly is it fred. yeah of course it's it's a very complicated situation because of the killings in the region. and there have been some options on the table trying to train their. soldiers in and make money and broken off or so but the issue is complex because these are just communities like ordinary people who are fighting each other because of resources because of poverty because of. resources so without talking the issue of resources i don't think they mean options on the table can solve the problem in in mali or any contrarian around this ahead of
7:38 pm
region i see what is really needed then to stabilize the country. there is need for international community to invest in projects that can help young people have access to jobs and also trying to. not turn a young people while cruelty and by these militant groups but also even old people because they don't have jobs they don't have food and so for that reason the needs are in these doggone communities are fighting because they don't have resources so there is a need to create job opportunities for young people and dog people but also there is an issue of. governance in their needs because there have been discussion that the government of mica is incompetent ok i guess that opens another can of worms and there's no time to get into that thank you very much at federal funding africa

7:40 pm
a few months later he went ahead to declare himself as president he was almost immediately arrested and detained for 4 years he died on the day he was to be released from prison. that has these we regard as nigeria icon of democracy and this year for the 1st time june 12th the day he won the election to be celebrated as nigeria's democracy. in want has been criticized as a political move to win a part of the country president who has a republican he apologized to our last family and declared the new democracy day. but how strong is the countries that more kristie want to nigeria free. government it's better than the military during the military era we couldn't sit down like this we'd be terrified but democracy gives us peace of mind everything we've told
