ethiopian prime minister. ahmed ali for his efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation and in particular for his decisive initiative to resolve the border conflict with neighboring every tree on. the complex began in 1998 in the border town of bad me that area right there now if you have the energy. to the market town and this would later become major head in implementation of really violence as seen just in bad news soon turned to one outright war lasting 2 years and costing 80000 lives terje clear by both countries changed hands through the course of the war if you can government walked away from a deal to end the war in 2002 the conflicts dragged on. dramatic intervention last

year when he took power and made this speech. with regard to the conflict with the trend government which lasted for years we wanted to stop for the common good of both our countries not only for our own benefit but for that of the 2 put down nations we are ready to resolve our differences through discussion we invite the trend government to show the same sentiments. the news of the award has been received positively in ethiopia here's how some people reacted on the streets of the capital addis ababa after the announcement. he did along for example releasing prisoners and granting freedom to people. you know only one year he has brought so much change is the one who made freedom of speech possible for ethiopians. he even outside of ethiopia he has

a great vision for all africa and he believes in peace democracy and equality he's one of the best leaders for africa right now. for more on this did abuse tomi oladipo joins me in the studio hello to me now how big a deal is a prime minister won this award this is massive this is the one of the biggest on as annual honors in the world and for someone who's africa's youngest leader he's only been in office for a year and a half if europe is africa 2nd most populous country and he's coming in this time brought in a lot of political and economic reform but not just for his country there's also his regional impact we've seen his involvement in sudan for example with the political crisis that was then he spearheaded the attempts to broker talks there so this is

a major recognition of abbie's work in this in this period well. why was resolving the conflict with every tree so important because that is one of the mean reasons given for that award i think 1st of all when you look at eritrea and ethiopia these are more than just neighbors the sister countries things are so bad that when the border got closed after the tension and the war families were split so siblings did not see each other because they happened to be on both sides of of the border so that's how close these countries are and it's it's more than just the tension it's that that relationship that goes back a long time remember that they used to be one country but at the moment you also have to look at it if you opium growing as one of the world's fastest growing economies it's a landlocked country so it needs access to the sea which eritrea has so that would be one of the benefits of. i am getting together but of course regional peace i think is the most important thing now a lot has been achieved as we were talking about more work is needed for peace even

in his country if you look at it yes there has been a lot of apart from the praise that abi has received there has been resistance as well he has come in and shaken the system so there are lots of people who who used to the status quo and becoming and shaking up the system with his political liberalization has really disturbed a lot of people and we've seen attempts to disrupt his work we've seen assassination attempts against him we've seen attempted coup attempt at coup d'etat in the region of i'm hora so these kinds of things are still there and of course the ethnic tensions as well he's been criticized for not doing enough to resolve that we've seen millions of ethiopians displaced as a result so there's so much work for. prime minister abbey to do but we have to recognize the massive strides he has taken ok quickly what possible rippling effects of this award to other african countries facing conflicts well obviously i

think one major one would be that of diplomacy when it comes to resolving conflict there's a lot of hard headedness we see across the continent but he has shown that there can be some give and take sacrifices for the sake of peace and that's what we've seen him do particularly in the case of eritrea so hopefully other countries can learn from all of this. on cue. from a south african president jacob zuma is to face trial on corruption charges this is out the records dismissed his application to halt the case for good zuma has been charged with 16 counts of fraud racketeering and money laundering relating to a multi 1000000 dollar deal dating back to before he took office zuma was president between 20092018 but he was forced to resign over a separate corruption allegations the trial could start as early as tuesday.

let's bring in our correspondent to zuko malo in johannesburg for more on this hello it's nice seeing you again so what exactly is the accused of having done in 1009 to 54 in south africa what independence the government got into a very massive buying deal with international companies and teles a french company was one of them and it is in this deal that it is alleged that the former president zuma received about 9 ended in 83 if payments that are believed to be kickbacks that were given as it was out of this deal and in court these have been classified as fraud and i could see having money laundering and corruption so these are the charges that started and they were instituted arkansas in 2007 dropped in 2009 and now they are back up again and these trial date that has been

set now ok sounds like very serious charges but i guess the 1000000000 dollar question is is there a chance after all of this that he could go to jail. when you speak to legal expenses they're saying it's unlikely but what does stand now is that tuesday next week has been set for the trial. from a present because of my his up i would 15 days to appeal against the decision if you appeal is supposed to appeal it at the high court where this judgment was handed down if the high court refuses he still has another 30 days to appeal straight to the supreme court of appeal which most legal experts are saying this is what you might like to group because over the years that's what he has been doing so it's likely that he's going to appeal but did the chances of you winning this one this time around is unlikely legal explicit even if you cause up to the question of court he's likely to win and he's likely by the end of the day no matter how long it takes you will find his day in court ok. correspondent
