5:20 am
where they can have international protection and make their continue with their life at the moment vi is not considered a safe country for refugees there are greatly 1800 refugees who are trapped in the air yes on of conflict and where therefore asking the international community to help us to take them to safer locations but all of this is the same international community that has struck a deal with the government in tripoli to keep migrants in the bia and stop them from going to europe. well for us to leave yet is not a safe country of return we have been very clear about this point we continue to advocate for legal pathways that can enable refugees not to have to cross the sea not to risk their lives but to actually have a port tunis innervate killer manner where the most by a narrow can actually reach safe their countries and they can rebuild their lives they can have the future and they can forget about all the horrors that they have experienced being coming from a country at war and having to cross the journey in very dire conditions including

5:22 am
closer to that i'm joined now by he says and we'll see from amnesty international in a butcher a welcome to the africa so we've seen a social media storm and spontaneous demonstrations and some people fear that they'll be no repercussions for the senate so will you face an investigation. well a lot of baldies including the most innocent really amounts that they're going to get but nigeria's have any confidence in investigations because they have only lead to justice they hardly lead to saw this issue so people are very skeptical about the effectiveness of such the investigation right ok so some of calling for for the same as a to be removed from office how easy is that to do well you know constitution has been difficult or unprove be jews who are moving here normally come a member of the national assembly so the possibility of them to be you can say you
