a few weeks ago at the end of his election campaign. obviously will be moved to go and look inside and outside the city to see for yourself it is not it is debbie who will speak it is the ballot boxes that will speak in. his promise to restore peace and security in chad. the country wrecked by years of violence armed rebel groups at attacking from across the libyan border more than once they reach the capital and demand that you know this latest attack began on the 11th of april election day when provisional results made him the victor debbie had gone to the front line but this time he'd misjudged his might. there be came to power in a coup in 1990 and was one of africa's longest serving leaders.

the son of a herdsman he had risen through the ranks of the military as president he shepherded his flock with an iron fist. a weak and divided opposition have called for a boycott of the election everyone easily with over 80 percent of the vote. the opposition has long criticized he's off on a tear in room. we are dealing with a regime that has shown terrible governance and corruption. this means that young people are completely abandoned here. chad is africa's 10th biggest oil producer but many here are jobless live in poverty. instead it is spent the money on military power is specially the fight against the hardest in the sahara. this made him a key and. i hope the west into confronts that promise of stability was one of the

main reasons why he was able to stay in power for so long. we've invited paul simon had the on to the program he's a senior regional advisor at the institute for security studies welcome to news africa is chad estimating or a failed state could could davy's death turn chad into africa's next in libya. because if you go to to. compare it outward leave us with just their neighbors and their conditions you know book on trees are slightly different a way out where the e.s.d. collapse we should we shouldn't forget that the regime was contested by a price that is not really the case the belt rising not mistreated in china but the right thing in the media led to the creation of. non-state

armed groups which. just fits the regime ok if you with their strong power of course they're not those the child would have a very different situation condition of the regime by i don't think i'm groups has always been bear independent and there saw that we would never see seeing live out of the station we for. the population that we saw in libya so what conditions the population of this even if they never know how this impression coming for so there's a lot of uncertainty regarding the next and. talking about their future what do we know about interest abbey's son who's now in charge will he be like his father. if you could just see he's lucky 5 1st of all is not a car eater. officer he doesn't have a c.

education military training that his father got he's father was and i don't know stuff off the wall each he never went through all enjoyed or you got some meat really immigration is funded by the experience of being managing some of the unions out of those 10 carrier we did in the army probably was driven by the fact that his father was the president you probably never would have career if you got him to katie he's not well known for having money any sneers of darkness i just cease to be served only. to eat i saw he's a veto on no one we don't know exactly well ok he's going to reform and he and he's only there really what with the backing of the army the army is saying is that it's in charge but how much is the army in control. we present our united states army

child we know that their predictions both with the chinese and within the class of prison followers and. also an order that we question would be where the prison the sorrow of enjoying their respect of the spirit genera dawdle function lines might actually have an impact on how united the army of call the government or swordfish is really a benefactor he read you know the product of concrete but. i'll be shot for an op we don't know studios or the we're trying to interview civilians . these are going to be serious. there are going to fish but they are trying to be charged and we'll see if these words errol how much they are in charge of the world ok all right that's paul simon had it from

the institute for security studies thank you. and the problem in chad is climate change has straightest can no longer raising livestock or grow enough to eat because of changing way of the in the same he added the hell take a look at this lake chad used to be one of africa's not just the lakes this was its extent in the 1960 s. and this is how far the water stretches today has lost 90 percent off its surface area over recent decades here you see 975 of them if they make shrunk to a speck by 2014 on the right now they make the last warship because off climate fluctuation in acacia add a simple human need drinking water. my next guest friends radio doris on into nasional that's a radio that brought costs from jimmy that such as and north in nigeria i'm happy to welcome to news africa david smith he is the direct copy consulting regularly in

chad welcome to day devaney's africa we've we've just seen a snapshot of the climate in the chad basin there is the threat from terror groups one of the main problems of fixing daily life they say the main the main problem is probably the absence of a state presence in many parts of the country and you mentioned lake chad you know that's an area where there's virtually no state presence as if there's a serious problem with governance there's a lack of infrastructure there's obviously the instability that is it has been in the news for many years whether it be boko haram around the lake or rebel groups who are coming from the north. near the near the libyan border a few years ago the biggest instability spread with rebels coming from from the east from the sudanese region of darfur. there was a list as long as you can write at in default at levels that chad is near the

bottom of almost every development list david the military council named interestedly sad as president and they say that he'll restore democracy but rebels say chad is not a monarchy how do you see that rivalry playing out well this rivalries not new. rebels have been at the palace gates an intimate on several occasions as the most the most serious rebel attack recent years was in 2008 when members of the late president of his own family made it right to the gates of the presidential palace and had the french french not launched the mirages and driven them off president. what if would have left the palace probably horizontally a long time ago the son of president hu's it was a general and he has he's had many military people in his family he's a member of the ruling ethnic group and the guy was make up about 8 percent of the

chaldean population part of the problem is that as a guy was tend to fight amongst themselves and there's there's never been any clear decision within these ago ethnic groups as to who should who should be in charge so we've got this we've got this a gala conflict and then bend the rebels outside outside of those ago ethnic groups who would like to would like to take a turn at ruling the country as well david's very quickly how will the people of chad remember a interesting him he'll be remembered mainly as the man who hung on to power for far too long and didn't share it there you know there are positive elements of what he did he was very good with the environment he gave a lot of support to to protecting wildlife and natural areas in the country but he'll be remembered by most people in the country as as as the man who did

everything he could to hang on to power and was not really keen on and sharing it with members outside of his own ethnic group all right that's david smith executive terry south a copy consultant thank you. you're welcome. also coming up on the show what do you get if you put an international opera style in lockdown with the canines of cape town and an old boss beyond series dog the net off on you you are your baritone ammonia or tool store or good food did you learn how are you know charge today more on this coffee. official that is nigeria's oil at cash cow or a coastal the country's citizens our reporter went out to the streets of los and got quite a resoundingly response to the question do you profit personally from nigeria's huge oil wealth take

a look at our very unscientific survey. i don't benefit when i drive or that's all i can see how are going to. think you're going to do so for me. i think it's for. some selected fuel. that's the future. yeah that you know if you go there you know so they need to be said. not to do them live we're not really really going to fit in i think a lot of this it will be beyond being generated on what are you so many people have no faith it's all just big people. do on the wet of business don't see me believe that. now in a case that has taken 13 is a dutch court earlier this year ruled that the nigerian subsidiary off royal dutch shell is liable for oil spills in nigeria's finest while niger delta was ordered to

clean up the area and pay the people compensation but the teen up awful goni land could take yes and the company can still appeal the ruling give up his freedom of all went to the niger delta to speak to those affected by they give off pollution oil and the gusts of the this major leaguers in the hall to me this is all good news i'm in nigeria as all you reach niger delta but for the people or even the leeches have become their cause deacon's of massive oil spills an oil pollution have destroyed would tough and drive recruits this feels have heat the poorest have dissed some sick crime is the only option. since one of my. partner forms are good. for the month to go north so 1st you care somebody. was going to lose from doesn't give you go oh. more from.

he is a member of a gang that kidnapped for ransom and attack oil pipelines so he wants to conceal his identity he blames paul bettany corruption for the region's insecurity. and one group. called. from to convince. us. it will cost it official says his administration is not to blame he points the finger at the federal government. i won't deny that we have a lot of people well i deny that but it is true that they have oil and there are so much of the process of oil money as they will want to see but there is hope that things could not change fast it dutch court and little britain supremum court recently ordered the oil companies share one of the companies

operating in the area to pay compensation cleaning up this vast area could take years even decades some experts say it's impossible the u.n. has recorded nearly 7 calvin spews over 30 years but i'm this international says that's number maybe 60 times higher share denies causing this pos saying they are caused by sabotage. the future of the health of the people of niger delta is at stake here is that say that they feel exhausted as by yes the go bottles have yet brought and a significant victory to them. the impact on the environment from oil production is 0 to key across the niger delta. chief shows us the scale of the pollution black suit. he's determined to keep fighting

going on there and they're on to the i want to because they come bring a long. string. and paid could be billions of dora's and it could pave the way for more cases being brought against much national oil farms in nigeria. for more on this we've invited nigeria's minister of environment onto the program dr mohammed mahmoud of a bucket joins me from a butcher welcome to. news africa minister our correspondent winced to the dell sam and miss a village chief who is fighting pollution which is happening now in his village isn't it the case minister that things are getting worse in the delta and not better. no they are not getting was is current to the project prep hydro carbon pollution or mediation project is supposed to be for the entire niger

delta but. in an area called the land this is one of the most prominent areas currently and. the area remediation of the number of logs that was started 15 lots have been cleaned out of those $5067.00 have been satisfied in the presence of such a fixation and areas of niger delta i will be mediated in time minister you were in ogoni land last year and you handed over several oil sites some of them that you were referring to and on that day on one particular day you say that it was a day off a promise camps and kept to the let's say in terms off standard and depth of work done but anyone in the delta knows that the stench of crude is in every way a little bit del so if it be clean again here in time however we should understand do have some issues especially with. refined that is the

illegal refining that is going on in the forest clean in the land and so of course as. exploration is continue in. sometimes you have spins but you have an agency that is tackling. that kind of spirit we need the cooperation of the people of that area also bustin of. lines but also sometimes part of the problem so really is a project that needs a foot of the government and the people of the area are that wise it will be difficult to. carry out when you are cleaning up and somebody is. going to find it bitterly legally or somebody is busted pipe somewhere and minister activists in ogoni land had to go to datchet and british courts to get justice why couldn't they get justice in nigeria and courts. there are pending cases here in

nigeria and court. of the case is. hard not that they are not getting justice nigerian just the system works just as well just sue no wood court cases sometimes it takes longer is spatially if you have competed in interest in this particular area and to see if they missed out what would be the practical difference to these foreign court decisions. what difference would they make to the lives of people in. what i'm sure the to give some kind of compensation. to the people i would expect that when they get. it should make a difference in their lives just as there. is. life changing activities we provide in livelihood to the people. now can support

agriculture and we just recently handed out 6 what's our contract was 66000000000 to provide. what not even what. so. the compensation from the british court decision should make a difference to the people of that area are you confident that that compensation will be given to the people of land that these oil companies will compensate the people of all tony let. if that is what the court judgment said i believe yes it should good today people if it is a judgment said i have mentioned it and tie and then it's going to be in for something good judgment shouldn't the nigerian government be forcing them to do that. oh yes that's what i'm saying that once we have the full knowledge of the judgement. the government will look into making sure that

the compensation goes to the people or to the communities in question definitely the nigeria is the world's 5th largest oil exporter when we talk about our climate crisis fossil fuels already the number one culprits if we can say that. it's nigeria offering its citizens and the world really a different future. absolutely in nigeria is very big in. protection and that a mental management. in the any in d.c. is nationally determined contribution. we are the 1st country in africa to. bond green bond and that we would environmentally friendly project so nigeria is not just for climate 5 for nigeria but for africa and the rest of the

war and nigeria is highly committed and right now we are in proportion to a cup 26 fully in preparation. thank you minister that is nigeria's minister off environment dubstep mahmoud abbas of joining us from a budget thank you minister. now we all know the sound of a hound wolf wolf but what can keep a good dog down well it turns out the answer is a good thought a good. and a good burst of operatic power from the singer. saute you see now we have this report on the canines of cape town so take a wolf. i mean take a look. i know.
