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 to cover and i'm going to throw rapid fire questions your way i want you to onset in just a few words ok if you can so the 1st one i'll ask you is what is the single most important issue for sub-saharan africa in 2020 definitely the spread of terrorism in this health and its consequences to reform as one of the regions that is growing the most which african guida should we watch and why sitting around the pool says the president of the us suffered not only because he's going to become the next african union chair but also because of the internal challenges facing economic social political and the fact that some suffered or were

much and what will be the most important election in africa this year he's here. for all kinds of reasons definitely is your main 2 countries we should pay close attention to in 2020. we should watch room because they're going to have elections the road you're going to change perceptions about the country and you should also pay attention to come home because of the many problems they will say this in a year that is going to be charged political events could they be it another revolution like the kind we saw in sudan which saw of on president bush else did. if you spew well the candidate is in public the country's about economically things are really getting worse by that it's really a candidate for some sort of major massive. and when it's just will there

be more visa free travel in 2020 on the continent when every year we have more countries admitting to this a free or are these on arrival regime for other africans we have already about 50 percent of the continent that there's a dear to that rule i expect more will join in france and the last one when we create more billionaires in africa in 2020 when we already have 23 and every year we have one or 2 that joined the club so i would expect yes will have a few more ok but they say you are in guinea-bissau out before the prime minister has won december's election of course he beat the ruling party's a candidate who says he's going to challenge the result i want to talk about give us all in 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.

you davis will stop being the country you have known a guinea bissau where anyone does just anything you want you see that's over. that's over it never again give me so i will be a respected country. this is a message that resonates with his supporters but it will be a difficult promise to keep. giving peace now is 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 but it says he will contest the outcome as such. one of the people of guinea-bissau out

deserve to be told with certainty that something solid results would correspond 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 kind that the critics of the question now is whether the new president will be able to placate these people and unify the nation as he has promised over the key to the south could be facing more tension and volatility. but as a what all guinea bissau as prospects and its new president. well i think the fun of easy is it depends very much on international aid that the new elected president there's the stylist's indication and. lots 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 that really. the only way the country can really move forward is with much more because of the asian and also a very clear or transformational economic system that you have right now that you've grown steadily on some of the all right that's professor carla slow 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 that dab 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 corrigible reports for the refugee that that geez that has been devastating. right you know beans some cooking oil that's a food ration hoopy mohammed and a family of 9 are supposed to survive on the up another 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 we have peace here but we don't have food to

survive on and no healthcare. if people have to dab'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 of the refugees here fear that what has simply forgotten about their 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 with more recent humanitarian crises it's not only the food that is

affected it's also all the other program but what services have to cities to do what i hope the services nutrition services because in return centers in all of them they're affected by the budget cut the international community. they think may be the w.'s but doubled up see their capacity their. 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 here. only someone who's helpless goes to the hospital nobody else wants to be at the hospital. who beats has heart 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 underfunded camp. helen all we're 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 the 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 good people again. and that is it for. africa as always you can catch all stories on our website and facebook page today will leave you with pictures of new year's eve celebrations in
