from these nuns in mozambique's capital so. let my people that i'm. just the with the babies i'm really happy because we're here to greet our shepherd pope francis the father of the whole catholic church so all of us are here with all of the people of mozambique to welcome our father of joy and enthusiasm and reading to the actual. ilb incidents as he's coming to bring us hope and courage meant to be good i mean reinvigorating our faithful and i think it's a very important moment because we believe he's bringing a strong message of hope he passes them in fact in his ways and he spread out. with a strong message of peace the pope's visit comes just weeks after mozambique's government and opposition signed an landmark peace agreement it's aimed finally stopping the violence that has been recurring since the civil war officially ended almost that years ago but as the pope cautioned whilst meeting president felipe

a new say peace is fragile and must be protected they're going to do what must continue with determination but without fanaticism and with courage but without excell taishan with tenacity but in an intelligent way to promote peace and reconciliation not the violence that brings not only destruction it is seen above. the pope's warning is a timely one elections are set to take place next month meeting with groups of different faiths he called for unity and for better opportunities to ensure lasting peace in mozambique. on this i'm joined in a studio by the views religious affairs correspondent matson got. many thanks for that. i'm so the pope is in mozambique how does this benefit ordinary muslim big

guns i mean essentially you know there is a way in which international organizations of the size of the vatican they feel it leads that they can actually put a lot of pressure into regional governments and there's not only the case for africa and muslim be in particular but this has been the case for sort of conflict areas for instance at least where the vatican actually had a huge impact on the syrian war in the process of bringing parts together for conversation as well as and that's in america for instance the case of cuba in muslim begin particular john paul the 2nd was the last pope to visit the vatican has been very much involved in negotiating and trying to a piece of bards and bringing to the table the fact is that the country has relapse into war no for 16 years and i think that the hope of this pope and the hope of the entire diplomatic operation about this by around this pope because it's not really just one person it's really an entire set of people is that they can actually push

the agenda push the front cards and put pressure on the government to actually develop and force a peace process now many expected him to do this that cycle only die affected areas but he will not why not he will not unfortunately i mean it would be something that many of us would be very interested in seeing because there is still very very much in this stage of a centrally complete break arias and this has not i mean reports at least are that there has not been sort of you know widespread rebuilds and that there are still sort of massive problems but the fact is that this is a pope that is struggling under very very strict security security rules and it is essentially a security issue the reason why this pope is not going to be live in the capital ok so he's booking about climate change he spoke ng about the country keeping the peace how much weight does his words carry i mean it's a very good question that it's really very difficult to right now but in. the way

the pope i mean in the way that this was you know parades is that 6 months later you can always look at what is that actually happened while the pope was no longer there i think that the press is essentially they come in they flex muscle they put pressure and then the diplomatic machine gets into the country and has a conversations with government so the fact is that we might see for instance in mother scar where there is a berm of the forestation the vatican pushing in the ocean essentially the bronze of preserve a nation of course is not going to happen overnight and this is not a pope that particular like the spotlight so very likely there will be a push to see reforms on the ground then to actually see great declarations tomorrow morning or the day after it was about issues and to talk about i mean i think that one big issue for the pope in africa is the question of how different african churches had become very much conservative churches in the way there is a certainty for. a certain distance at which they stem from what is the current policy of the vatican which has become much more progressive at the same time i

mean these are spots where the relation between different communities particularly christian community muslim community are very important in this the main topic for this pope into religion religions magic jack did of use religious affairs correspondent many thanks for your time my pleasure. now got us presidents not. that threat of terrorism to the country in the west african region poses a good risk to gonna so he wants to adopt measures that ensure that country warts of extremism one of these measures is better access to education for young people especially young muslims in ghana being targeted by terrorist groups online correspondents i met one of them who almost joined the so-called islamic state. the move was just 22 when yak reach to join the. islam

to counter narratives that can help this person get out of days you wouldn't want to look at other approaches to country in this you know to help in the specimen regained his vocals and leave him positively in society. so far. as group has reached nearly a 1000 young people but it wants to do more counselling and more job opportunities will hope he says him or wants to hope to although his 2 can't reveal his identity for fear of stigma he hopes that soon you'll be able to use his story to discourage others from being radicalized. so what can be done to count out a threat of terrorism and violent extremism in the region that's what political leaders are discussing an article theone on peace and security for in ghana's capital accra the on all 4 brings together political leaders diplomats and experts

for talks on evolving trends in peace and security germany's ambassador to ghana christophe is among those taken out our correspondent isaac lady met him and asked for his. months of the security situation in west africa on the salary region there's good reason to be concerned about the security situation in west africa if you look at the asylum region if you look at the lake shots region if you look at the situation in north east and if you look at the maritime security situation in the gulf of guinea and there is reason for growing concerns and i think we really have to find a strong and united on sort of this challenge what is germany doing to resolve some of these issues will we have together with france and other g 7 partners just recently alone spot a german chancellor. initiative fettuccine 7 meeting in directs we have the strongest to date contingent of the german buddhists where the german army in mali
