deep into the german culture of looking at stereotypes a quirk in the years in the future of the country that i don't. need to repeat this drama there you go it's cold out there. i'm rachel join me from the germans on the w. post. this is africa coming up in the next 15 minutes is ethiopia in prices developments in the country suggests prime minister obviously it's reform agenda may be backfiring . and for months off to 2 sides to a state of mozambique 1600000 people are at risk of food insecurity at least until september.

come to africa. ethiopia's journey to reform has hit some severe turbulence 15 months off the prime minister made took office may dramatically to he's back on decades of repressive policies and. emptying the jails of political opponents and journalists and relaxing the suppression of say persist movements but that's not gone smoothly in june dozens of people including senior officials were killed in a failed coup attempt by his militia in the region and federal security forces have moved into the saddam a region at least 25 people have been killed they the past week in clashes between state forces and 6 persists the separatists there are demanding the establishment of their own autonomous region. you know. saddam has already thought of its own flag and declared that it's a regional state he's been. the boyce of the people should be respected no

it's in the constitution that's the people who decide their own fate not an external political power a government which people decide their own affairs. william davison is senior analyst for ethiopia for the international crisis group he's just visited saddam and other parts of ethiopia highway and welcome to today's every africa when it looked at one stage as if there was agreement on holding a referendum for statehood in sit down. why has the situation deteriorates it. well there's a number of reasons one of the key reasons is that the decision to proceed with the referendum on november came very late it actually came only a couple of days before the saddam a movement's appointed deadline and then it seemed to july when they wanted

a referendum to be held at all then and what promising to do otherwise. so there was agreement with the electoral or and regional states decision to move ahead with a referendum in a few months time from some of the local leadership this is on a leadership. that wasn't effectively or officially communicates it to the rest of this is our movement. there were a number of disappointed activists and large numbers of disappointed saddam used who were spectating over declaration of a regional state when they demanded answers that public gatherings were clashes with security forces in hasa that our audience clashes in rural areas is the dharma and they seem to be included as acts on top and the killing of activists by security forces will clean up protestors and those are taps and other minorities in the area so it really stands is latest decision to proceed with the referendum.

last month and in that maurice states we saw the assassinations of regional military leaders is prime minister at the af meds reform agenda to blame for that. well it would certainly be wrong to entirely blame the reform agenda those assassinations and that was allegedly caused by carried out a directive by the former security chief about how far was pushing quite a hard line and no nationalist agenda in that reason if there is reason to blame the reform busy process and of their 2 leadership on the border leadership. is due to the appointment of the alleged co-parents mouths agape the former security chief is due to his appointment as regional security chief and then the amount of holds on to me that he was given to push his hard line agenda really should have been better political management of that situation should have been more awareness that

i asked him i had sensual to cause problems in a heart region state so i can see a what a quick recall process where these considerations were taken into account as one of the factors in the in the. right and obviously it's promise to hold any election next year what's the likelihood that he can fulfill that promise to hold to a fully democratic election next year. well that's always been a very challenging ambition there's something of a mismatch between its hind are needed for the reform agenda and electoral shantel and there's a need to create a strong opposition strong civil society strong media and democratic institutions that was always going to be very hard to carry out before the shuttle directions in may next year given the very serious security and political problems we have now that's become a much harder as the government is primarily focused on fire fighting these issues instead what happened what needs to happen now is that security needs to be

restored and some sort of consensus on the major political grievances afflicting the country between the ruling coalition partners need to be astonished then when there's that sort of foundation people can start thinking about proceeding to an election which will hopefully democrats are going to transform with their protest. william davidson is senior analyst for ethiopia for the international crisis group thank you thank you. seconds it day and kenneth hits mozambique with devastating effect earlier this year as well as the cost in lives lost and the damage to infrastructure the storms hit just before the harvest was due nearly 2000000 people are dependent on food supplies from outside aid groups are sounding the alarm they say the rebuilding process is taking too long and is under funded. the aftermath of the site from still shows 100

happening that site is also 33 when we know since people and no we are plowing through them the resources to rebuild. and also so that look taking place again so the stain that what. we are killing people. that. need it is sound and have 3 children now depend on food brought in from outside. it's now the dry season in mozambique and it will take several more months before they can start rebuilding their lives. pangolins all the world's most illegally trafficked animal poached for both traditional african medicines as well as a growing demand for use in traditional chinese medicine pangolin scales like rhino horn are made of keratin south africa's home to the little known 10 next ground pangolin more and more of these are being held illegally in captivity. they

poachers glen thomson leads them he shows us traces of an antelope traces of penguins however he says are hard to find in the wilderness over the course of many years observing animals in the bush he and his colleagues have only seen one. penguin if you look at the bottom of it they've got a very similar foot to an elephant so it's very soft they've got the lines in it and to back feet so most of the time to find the sound of the penguin is when it's walking the tail leave marks in the right like this as a team and guys on and it's extremely difficult to see this what glen thomson and his rangers know how rhino poachers hunt but they can only guess how illegal hunters track down the hidden pangolins. probably suggest that the probably using dogs to. during the day because penguin move around did not mean the barrister in

the right so we suspect it's a lot of dog poaching i mean if they saw it they pick it up and that's. thomson and his team have repeatedly confiscated illegal goods and live animals and arrested some poachers probably only a fraction of the criminal gangs the rangers depend on tips from the population. so we'll get information that these someone in a village want to sell a pen but soon as we get that information and we can verify that that is a lot of penguin we'll set up a sting operation with a c.p.s. and then we'll go in and go effect the race collect the penguin and then take it for medical treatment and medical assessment. these poachers stop to refuel their car the pangolin was still alive and lying in the cargo area the rangers had received a tip from a witness. a rescue mission like this is what saved our and gave her
