killing was connected to those. in an announcement to the nation prime minister made safe security forces were in full control of m r state. you wanting. the people of ethiopia don't believe in son saying killing and claiming power by spilling the blood of their brothers and sisters on especially. american that. they believe power should be obtained only through democratic means unity and sacrifice that. young man has played don't accept totalitarian regimes and that they've shown that through a common struggle or coach as we've built on the moccasin past years they have rejected these efforts to silence people with a unified voice and the knowledge. and of course the whole world so what do these developments mean for the country we've invited william davidson senior ethiopia
5:18 am
analyst at crisis group to give us some context william was ethiopia correspondent for 7 years and he's joining us now from brussels welcome suited d.w. africa william would you say if the opiah isn't a political crisis. yes there's certainly an element of crisis about this and it's also a moment of great political opportunity and that shouldn't be forgotten but it's clear from recent events of the shocking events on saturday the 2 assassinations and that there is an element of crisis about this and it's also been clear from several other incidents throughout the past year or so which included bouts of communal violence increased tensions between governments and a huge number of displaced people from conflict up to 3000000 so this is definitely a this destiny a political crisis here and driven i would say by serious divisions within the
5:19 am
ruling coalition that has dominated ethiopian politics for so long and which is just which is now in trouble right and and what does this mean william for prime minister abbey athame it what does it mean for his government and his reform agenda that he has been praised for at least outside of a country where a certainly an issue in terms of them presenting another major security challenge and that's something the government starts to grapple with immediately it looks like basic order has been restored fortunately. but this situation needs to be controlled because of the government needs to get back to business as usual and they need to take issues to take measures to resolve the the political crisis that is causing these security problems because without an improvement in the security situation will be very difficult to create the conditions for a type of successful democratic election that i think is promised next year. all
5:20 am
right and just looking to the future what is your prognosis what do you think's likely to happen after this. well it is an optimistic scenario security will be restored and that this will be a wake up call for the government it really needs to address to acknowledge this very city in the scale of this political crisis as i say driven by risks in the ruling coalition if it does that then steps that could be taken to immediately begin to resolve some of those issues create conditions of stability and get everyone working and focus towards elections the downside that the risk is that these problems are not at the knowledge and then we see continued political instability which worsens the security conditions makes a democratic election and then increases opposition claims of government illegitimate legitimacy in the event of an electoral delay and then we could be

5:23 am
mauritania to resists within the rule of law to resist to this group to. which is against the will of the people. who. want to. the controversy cost the shadow what's hoped to be the 1st peaceful handover of power since mauritania's independence from france in 1960. the africa wildlife economy summit kicked off in zimbabwe today it's focusing on how africa's landscape and wildlife is a key opportunity for economic development now one country that has already heavily invested in its nature tourism is on a decade ago its asia sides 10 percent of its lead for national parks but it's been struggling to keep its wildlife alive not that long ago its elephant has it now though it's managed to turn this around we a company ranges in low pay. and you know. for
5:24 am
the and his empty poaching team this is the easy part of the job not far from their station in low pay national park they're gathering data on flora and fauna. going from. the family of elephants passed through here the 8 here. and then they moved here with them and left their traces. between normally spends up to 14 days in the national park to collect data and keep an eye out for poachers thanks to the rangers the nature reserve has experienced no major wildlife crime in the last 2 years. but they say poachers are still active in the national parks close to the border with the republic of congo with a mixture of dense forest and grassland low pay is $1.00 of 13 national parks established in cabo in 2002 it's a you know asco world heritage site and home to elephants panthers gorillas buffalo
5:25 am
and over 400 bird species these days the elephants pose more of a problem than the poachers do and important part of the work of the park manager and his team is communicating with the residents of the villages on the edges of the national park. and nationally there were lots of elephants in the northern zone. but then they started encroaching on built up areas. we realized that the elephants were more or less fleeing the interior of the forest because of growing pressure from poachers from the solve unsolved west was one of the. shows when dong constantly gets calls about elephants entering the villages for the park management dealing with the concerns of the local people is a major priority the elephants destroyed their fields and plantations the basis of
5:26 am
their livelihoods. thanks to fences that the park officials have set up around the villages the elephants are slowly retreating back into the forest. in 3 of the villages electric fences protect the plantations. these fences are inspected on a regular basis and the locals say they're feeling much safer again. with us and we've been going hungry for 2 years people were losing weight there wasn't enough to eat but this year we have enough again we have vegetables we've been able to harvest what we planted to get. the cooperation between the park management and local residents. is proving successful for the way in dong the fences in these communities have also come as a relief. before it was costing a lot of money it takes 46 people to chase away 3 elephants elephants not a dog it's not a sheep that you can push away with elephants you have to be very strategic and

vigilant wolf would have visuals the balancing act between protecting the park and helping local sustain their livelihoods calls for careful planning and through up here like many of the rangers he's confident that humans and wildlife can co-exist peacefully. so for good news we do this so that our children can see what we are seeing today today we only read about dinosaurs and books. and then we can just drive animals to extinction kill them without a 2nd thought that would be a big problem c. difficile. tomorrow will be back at work in low paying national park and the rangers and villagers will continue to maintain the fences that can help to ensure their future. and that is it for now from database news africa as always you can catch all our stories on how they've cited the facebook page leaving al the pictures of africa's standing lot like tony stabbed by back.
