aggressively joins me in the studio. you're welcome to the program france is asking its rupee and partners to send more so just to mali and other nations and the region has seen an increase in attacks by jihadist militants only last week 40000000 so just died in clashes with militants from the needs reinforcements from his fatness involved in training the mali an army so that its own soldiers can focus on the fight against insurgents yes a senior french diplomat speaking at a security conference in senegal on monday. we are committed to working alongside all friends in the sahara. working alongside mali. mali is not

alone in facing this situation says france is particularly committed to the anti insurgent operation in the sahara. jihadists seized large parts of northern mali into indeed solved before being repulsed after military intervention by friends the current absolutely in bali and sues the issue is far from resolved our correspondents funny 5 minutes before my jihadi fights in the modern capital markel his message the country remains vulnerable to the jihadist threat. somewhere in burma i'm waiting to meet a former g hardest will he turn up it was a struggle to arrange a suitable location finally we meet at a place he deems safe enough during our interview he calls himself but daraa he wants to remain anonymous he's hiding from both government and jihadi states he says but daraa is 35 he spent 3 years to dancer dean the militant islamist group

active in mali since 2012. are joined because life is hard here when it comes to the government they don't care much about mali and people. when you can go to school you are seen as special as noble if you cannot it's like you are not a citizen of this country. there are several armed groups in mali answer dean wants to impose sharia law across the country various groups selling to al qaeda and the so-called islamic state in recent years they have expanded from the north to central mali and into the neighboring countries. who are governments cannot fight the jihadists because they do not have the right policies in place they don't help the civilians to jihadists a much better organized. unemployment a lack of resources and

a crippled government mali is an easy place for jihad is to find new recruits. this country has become a with you for jihad is that again means that it's a blind spot to many things and we are seeing the growing threat of islamic militancy. citizens are growing weary of the instability in mali. even the young people will join the jihadists. because there's no work. we all have a family so one should think about whether it's good to join you'll kill people this is not good. chere a lot of people leave no one's to fight many of them returned as dead but i don't understand. why there are explains that before he joined dean he was teaching the koran and that was also his job with the militants but when he was

asked to teach from a book describing how to carry out suicide attacks he decided to leave. some people killed others even when that person recited the shah there is no god but god mohammed is the messenger of god. i saw they killed certain people that is not. they also killed innocent people. but daraa is just one of many in mali frustrated with the lack of opportunities he left in 2018 since then has been hiding. better organized in our studio today we have a prominent woman of the african continent. led a global campaign to feel nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by boko haram

a stream is this us around for president in her country saying she is fighting for the soul of nigeria africa's largest economy and most populous nation is former world bank vice president for africa she also co-founded transparency international one of the leading organizations against corruption. as aggressively many thanks for your time you're always on the move what do you have to decide to well i am not . a robot but. i am. spending the next couple of months working on the outlines of what i call fix politics and that is a focus on the book a system of political competition in my country as well as on the continent in order to enable a better. sets of outcomes when we do our usual democracy ok talking about politics well the. big one for you you run for president in nigeria

and you said you were fighting for the soul of the country what do you mean by that well you know it's really struck because the country that i come from nigeria is one that globally everyone sais has so much potentials and yet as a performer to be law and battered below its possibilities and that's because governance has not been. you know really well done the bad governance is clearly no and as an obstacle to good time development and when you analyze that for di you would realize that what usually happens in societies that you see a dominant bad governance is that there becomes a discussion of of the of the visit and values of society so that bad behavior gets rewarded good behavior gets punished that's that's

that's of distortion and so if you're going to remedy that situation you've got to fight because you're at the state interests that are not interested in recalibrate in. a very perverse reward system that that that that that benefits them but then is a source of sorrow to the rest of the people ok and you you talk about fighting and you're fighting for a lot of different causes you who founded the bring back our girls campaign. niger are you satisfied with the fight to bring back the remaining 112 girls lived not one bit satisfied we have 107 get out of the 219 that will regionally abducted include in one gal who was part of the next batch of girls that we're abducted near cherry so 113 school girls that are still missing the 107 girls that are back in school one or 6 of them except one

that is lennon is still a trade. mart for the $112.00 it's almost silent on the part of 5 of them they have never talked about. but the battles meanwhile while with obvious issues should not. only would any sense of shared humanity would. prevent very strong and we do not think it is right to forget them so they are never to be forgotten we made a commitment that we will keep reminding our government about them and that's what we continue to do. me a good cause now also cool fun of transfers international what would you say about the strides africa has made in tackling corruption overall well i would say that africa is not a continent because different countries have made different degrees of progress to regression but one thing that is set in the is that there is much more open because

of course we live in the world of openness that is forced on everybody by the i.c.t. revolution information communication technology and so you find that there is absolutely mush most scrutiny of government no matter what country it is there's a level of social media presence so there is more public discourse and now that's important because the demand side for good governance and prosper and see is driven by. an active citizenry so in terms of that you see that africa is not doing badly in terms of the institutions and systems that prevent currents of corruption there's a whole lot of work yet to be done and then finally in terms of sanctioning bad behavior oh my goodness we need mush law vibrancy of prosecution and judicial processes by the courts and then showing that the rule of law. is bigger than the

law we need that. now the number of lions in africa has dropped by more than 40 percent in the past 2 decades that's left the species vulnerable to extinction the reason is mostly to do with the loss of habitat people killing lions who are talk of life stalk is also a threat you project in tanzania aims to help live side by side with the big cats while ensuring no loss to our livestock petra saitoti is on a mission tracking lions to save them you will staley across the must step watching their moves was one goal informing her adieus where to go with their cattle to keep away from the big cats. when tracking wildlife in the bush we check every path we go across fields maybe we
