for the continent in 2020 we've invited professor kala slow pace who's in africa economists and analysts to give us he's predictions for the year welcome professor no prison by the way congratulations on being named 2019 african economist off the year thank you so we've got a lot of ground cover and i'm going to throw a rapid fire questions your way i want you to onset in just a few words ok if you can so the 1st one. is what is the single most important issue for sub-saharan africa in 2020 definitely. one of the regions that is growing the most which african should be watched and why . sitting around of course of the president of south africa not only because he's going to become the next african union chair but also because of the internal

challenges facing economic social political ok and the fact that south africa where much and what will be the most important election in africa this year he is here. for all kinds of reasons definitely here and then 2 countries we should pay close attention to in 2020 we should watch rubi because they're going to have elections a robe you're going to change our perceptions about the country and you should also pay attention to come to room because of the many problems they will say this in a year that is going to be charged with political events could they be it another revolution like the kind we saw in sudan which saw it on president bush else to it if you spew one of the candidate is in bubbling the country is about to implode economically things are really getting worse by the if it's really

a candidate for some sort of major massive protests and then it's just will there be more visa free travel in 2020 on the continent well every year we have more countries are getting to these are free or are these on a rival regime for other africans we have already about 50 percent of the continent and that there's a dear to that rule i expect more will join in france and lost what will we create more billionaires in africa in 2020 well we already have $23.00 and every year we have one or 2 that joined the club so i would expect yes we'll have a few more ok but they say you are in guinea-bissau out wave before the prime minister has won december's in the action of course he beat the ruling party's a candidate who says he's going to tell him to resign i want to talk about give us on a 2nd but 1st we have this report we want to play for all of us and then we'll get

to that. chris isaak oh it's time to celebrate he won by following to improve people's lives and bring about change. given this will stop being the country you have known a guinea bissau where anyone does just anything it took you 3 that's over. that's over it never again going to be so will be a respected country. this is a message that resonates with his supporters but it will be a difficult promise to keep. giving the south was one of the poorest places in the world the majority of people live on less than $2.00 a day. it also has a reputation for corruption and political instability in the last 6 years alone it has had 7 prime ministers and that been a succession of coups an attempt to coups. the winning candidate is also facing

another challenge the ruling party's domingo's the most part it says he will contest the outcome as such but. one of the people of guinea-bissau. deserve to be told with certainty that something solid results which corresponds to the will expressed at the ballot box. domingo supporters are not just disappointed they're angry they're. not going to go to accept this result we're the ones who won the elections it's clear for all of us to see give us back our results we're tired. of the time to. get upset the question now is whether the new president will be able to placate these people and unify the nation as he has promised all with the key to the south could be facing more tension and volatility . but as the what all guinea-bissau is prospects and it see a president. well i think the economy is in there is it depends very much

a liberal national state that the new elected president there's the stylist's indication a. lot of implications of the military with narco traffic in and there had a role in the elections unfortunately yet again so people are very scary. experience some is the really. the only way the country can really move forward is much more because of the asian and also a very clear or transformational economic system that you have right now the defense entity on some of the all right that's professor carlos lopez thank you for talking to us and maybe let's touch base that the end of this year to see what became of some of your predictions. it's to kenya now where 200000 people live in the dadaab refugee camp it is one of

the biggest such camps in the world the kenyan government's plans to close it has been postponed many times now recently humanitarian aid has been scaled back as our correspondent melanie corridor reports for the refugee that that jeez that has been devastating. rife you know beans some cooking oil that's a food ration hoopy mohammed and her family of 9 are supposed to survive on the ethanol the month since she fled somalia as a child almost 30 years ago who has lived as a refugee and. she says life in the camp has become even more difficult since about food program reduced their food distributions because of budget cuts the agency can only afford to provide 70 percent of the recommended daily food intake.

but now we're. now we are very desperate and there's no can no food at all how can we survive if we don't have food and we have peace here but we don't have food to survive on and no healthcare. if people have to dad's refugee camps have been living on the threshold of imagine seeing for nearly 3 decades now with humanitarian organizations struggling to provide basic services in the face of dwindling donations and funding they say their situation has consistently west the refugees here fear the world has simply forgotten about that plight. kenyan law restricts freedom of movement and forbids refugees working here this means more than 200000 refugees in the camps most of them women and children depend on ever scarcer humanitarian aid aide workers in the camp are concerned that that

is being neglected and that more recent humanitarian crises is smoked only the food that is affected is also or that the program button hole but services have to see just. how to services nutrition services because you're in rotten centers and all of them that are affected by the budget cut the international community. they think may be the darbies lifestyle but obviously they're supposed to be. in the. house. has been holding out for a month with her baby daughter who suffer from malnutrition she needs a solution. that if i could support my family i wouldn't have to come in. only someone who's helpless goes to the hospital if nobody else wants to be at the hospital. who'll be

chest hop says frustration and fear for her children her son however cannot be treated by the doctors here he has a heart condition that needs special treatment and resources are not available in the under-funded camp. helen all when dying in this camp nobody is taking us anywhere i can't help myself nobody is treating my son's illness every night we wonder if you will die or not. will be hopes she'll eventually be resettled to a place where her son can be treated and to other children will have enough to eat all she wants is the life of an ordinary citizen not a refugee until then she hopes that people politicians and agencies will start remembering the people of the day up again.
