bridge that connects the northern part of her to the city center where the prime minister's office is there was a bomb explosion and also reports of gunshots no one was hurt and nobody has really cleaned responsibility for this attack yet however the information minister in the statement today said that the investigation has already begun into this incident that it's been taken very seriously and he also called it a terror attack it's important to remember that this comes in the middle of the very very tricky transition for sudan from dictatorship into elections in 3 years where a lot of former regime figures have been sidelined some military figures as well allies of the former president on that additional shares so it's likely that we'll see some finger pointing in the coming days at the sort of alluded to this but just remind us again about how the stage that this country is at the phase that they're

in and how sensitive issues are and perhaps what prime ministers him doc role in this transition phase that the country is in well the stakes really could not be higher for him doc and his government there are very very high expectations that they're carrying on their shoulders they're now in a 3 year transitional phase which started in august of last year and will end in 2022 if i'm not mistaken i mean this comes after a long period about a year long protest movement that was calling for the removal of former president on one of the sure this was very bloody and this transitional government is in place as a result of a deal between the military leaders and civilians in the country and they face a whole host of challenges the economy. is suffering after 30 years of isolation sudan is now struggling every day to get itself off of the united states' list of state sponsor of terrorism of terrorists so that it can a necessary step to jumpstart the economy of so

a very very critical stage for the country indeed i mean it judging by you know the prime minister getting back on to the job and tweeting that you know everything's fine and if it's not in a detail it's going on incidentally quickly can we really trust that that this isn't a game changer of some sort that anything is going to carry on as normal i mean i think it's very you know it's very expected for the prime minister to try to show this face of stability because you know this is a test for his government and if his government fails at maintaining security let alone the security of the head of government this might open up a space for other reactionary forces supporters of the military can ticket perhaps a bigger role in the governance of sudan to say hey you're not able to keep this country safe we might step in so these are the sticks right abraham thank you. the european union has unveiled a new plan for its partnership with africa in a moment we'll hear from the e.u.

commissioner for international partnerships will be line in but 1st here's a look at some of the projects the e.u. funds in africa. the european union says europe and africa have simple common challenges such as climate change security can digitize solution and fighting general inequalities in society. the e.u. is funding many different types of projects from sustainable fisheries green energy projects and initiatives that help improve skills and qualifications for the youth across africa. this project in ghana is trying to combat illegal and unregulated fisheries and support local communities to find alternative incomes beyond fishing. but some of the biggest investments are focusing on sustainable energy in kenya the european investment bank with around 200000000 euros helped build africa's largest wind farm with 365 when turbines and in air tran

2 solar hybrid power systems have been built to provide electricity for over 40000 people and businesses in 28 years. my colleague marina strauss was at a year in union press conference in brussels just sat down with the e.u. commissioner for international partnerships one of the criticisms we always hear is that europe focuses a lot on carbon migration from africa and doesn't really look at the african perspective on migration for example and also ties development aid to migration issues will that be different with this new strategy. i think. it's important to improve living conditions in african countries because. for instance about 60 percent off their citizens in africa are young people people under 30 years old so i personally see that it's our duty to try to help them

in order to to provide them also hope. but at the same time of course i think what african partners are expecting from osce ease that we are able to offer them also legal paths to to to europe and that's why for instance there are small splice is a very important tool to offer african young african students to possibilities just just study in europe so i think that we need to create this kind of in win situation and this kind of an equal partnership where every at the same time trying to improve the living conditions and actress to root causes of my creation but at the same time also offer africans legal ways and paths to come to europe to meeting and i was about also showed that there are differences not

only mutual interests in the africa your partnership for example was a fact. a you commission president said that for example death penalty is one of these differences or the way they few sexual identities how do you respond to these differences. i think that. if you have equal and coach partnership you are able to discuss also about very difficult issues so also those issues which divides us and for instance sexual identity is a question which is of course very important for europeans but my understanding is that also if we talk to the young people in africa. they might see the 6 will identity differently than the older generation in africa so my my approach is that our of course we need to respect to each other and that's also

part of part of the partnerships i do your ideology but at the same time i think that we can openly and frankly discuss. different issues. i think that's something to be able also try to to a year to appeal any and the e.u. commissioner for international partnerships now the animated film industry has seen remarkable growth and they've lost nigeria's fibrin economic capital a nigerian female animated demi lower last honestly is the founder off s.m. i.d.s. animation studios she was inspired to provide kids with lovable african characters and it's increasing international visibility. listen suppression for her job began at a young age she started to draw as a child to day after to kill herself she's a producer of early michelle phillips mini educational series were deceased

children different nigerian languages she tell source how she got started. i think my very 1st 3 dan rated movie toy story that i watch while i was in secondary school just spark something in me i also read war people actually made this for a living is what i want to do and i started out you know i got the software that it's lent online despite the fact. courses and i mean michelle in their curriculum ease of access to the internet software tools and then missions to do slips me offering training internships have boosted the rise of only meters our studios last year we had the full cost internship for just women and that was a question of effort on our part and i would put as many more women to the fore as possible ensuring that we have good genders represented anymore or cultures and one represented us was told which are full of stories and demi lovato inspiring the next generation of. why not i mean it's

a nice and. an amazing thing to do to create such content from people around the world what you. the question should be why not the largest international only meeting film festival this year has its focus on africa for the 1st time the 1st of all there's a competition between the 2 in film of different techniques and this international unlimited film festival will showcase africa and the meter in their film festival this year this is very exciting news for the african and the mission industry it will mean more visibility international collaboration for africa. and in particular for women in africa on a mission i believe that is an opportunity to showcase some of the skills and talent that women in africa have and see how we can put that on a pedestal so that the water can see that you have amazing story you have amazing characters and we'll be here to to showcase that to the war dummy lusha list suits your kids you have content to the world in time for her to break barriers and share
