call will be peaceful and democratic, but the u. s. things, it has great concerns saying that it's pensions and the ongoing war into gripe means the vote is unlikely to be credible. so what is that in this election also coming up on the program more than $300000000.00 in cold at $900.00 funds have gone missing in cameroon. the ruling party blamed pressure sheets and rates and nearly killed while working to expose injustices. nigeria, football, boring as just been given a freedom of speech award for her standing procedure of the truth. you want to hear what she has to say about journalism in africa, the biggest democracy thousands of africans are flocking to a field outside that off to a hood made a potential life changing discovery. we join the fortune because

the news. hello, i'm christine wonder. it is good to have your company. ethiopians are voting and national elections on monday, it's a day of reckoning for prime minister abbey made as he hopes to boost his legitimacy with the vote at his 1st and last campaign ready to sleep. he said his main goal was to uphold what he called, the unity and freedom of the country. the election is taking place against a backdrop of tension. and let's quickly take a look at how we caught you in 2018. i'll be road to power on a wave of optimism after 3 decades of oppressive rule dominated by the to grain people, separation forces, or t p. i live a party anchored in the northern region now to taking off. if i made peace with neighboring a retreat bringing and to explain to the conflict that moved and him the procedures,

nobel peace prize. but it also angered the tpa forces who neighbor, it retreated. then last year, i'll be sent the all me into the northern to grad region to crush the t. b. i live thousands have been killed and millions displaced. to make matters worse, ethnic violence has flared elsewhere. hundreds have died and clashes on the border between oral and horror. the countries to most popular states critic choose be off denying states with different if this sees more autonomy, it's made some opposition figures to boycott the poll. now we will be discussing what is at stake for p o p. but 1st we turned to the prime ministers home region in order me to find out what voices they make on the man. the rally in favor of the next 30 party close to his home town and the aroma region. it was here, the crowds of young people went out on the streets in 2018 to support abbey in this

district. many still do on the work he has achieved. we believe that the prosperity party can transform this country, but i'm going to get the work he did until now shows that he can bring a lot of things for a future. what do we believe this party equalizes, or nations and nationalities? i'm going up by despite violence between government forces and local insurgent groups in several parts of a room. yes. state officials in the prime minister's home village. i see there's nothing to worry about what we'll do, which is like i'm done them and we have organized community leaders or village later and they are ready to keep the environment possible. but again, we are ready to protect the area from any conflict. these birthplace might guarantee safe schools. but in other parts of a room, yet, unrest is ramp and a little more i'm groups actively contest the holding of elections claiming their undemocratic. and that the current government is illegitimate. the 2 main

opposition parties in the room you had decided to withdraw their main leaders are behind bars. this young man is too scared to speak publicly fearing reprisal from authorities. he was among many who celebrated when the prime minister came to power, but his last trust in the government eligible now with the rights that cover that we are hearing about the loss and so many lives and the numbers are increasing day by day. as we come closer to the election time land known among the some, i said we're still hearing that people are being killed, work on those who are in prison, as well as opposition. parties should be set free. come fight. there should be a discussion with the people and there should be a national dialogue. and i asked the government to do this in a peaceful lay cut on without any loss of life. you could see movies and we're going to got especially in western room clashes between the room, liberation, army and federal forces pose

a major threat to the election. interethnic violence has also left 100 dead and 1000 displaced. as a consequence, several constituencies will not be able to vote on june 21st. the international need to know that electric violence to reduce the risk the european union held training such as this one to provide tools for peace building, targeting women, youth groups, and traditional leaders. the society can play a great off in terms of preventing managing and getting off the electron virus that does she practice it to play active role in the negotiation process. they play active role in bringing different parties together for building piece that also help to have a mediation of to vote to establish political legitimacy. but the prime minister is facing various challenges,

including the conflict integration for which she's facing mounting pressure at home and abroad. and for more on a few days election, we've invited a demo they onto the program. he is an advisor and an analyst on democracy in africa. he specializes on if you, if you're welcome to either be news africa joxer. but we've heard that this election could charge a new part for if you paid for time minutes to be asked me. it said it could build or break the country, help us understand what is at stake in this election. thank you very much for the invitation to the elections are critical in a sense because the last time if you, if you had elections wasn't talking to 15 and add that particular time it was a dominance routing part. you that one, all the seats and says been i, b, m, it came to power in epr told 2018. and he has also established a new pull it political policy. so this is the 1st time that avia how many other

individual and his ruling prosperity party or the party will face the voters. so in that says it's critical for the ruling party more more than 4 for the country in terms of the larger people. i think i don't expect the elections to be make or break moment. partly because the 2 places where the ruling party could have faced a tremendous challenge have been, have been effected by different disputes, one integrated because of the conflict. and secondly, in romeo region, which is the largest we didn't need to appear because of boycotts from the elections. we'll talk more about that in a moment. job said david. but i 1st want to ask you, how much does prime minister be mid need to win this election? how much does he need to be able to say, i have a mandate from the people. was that he, i think that there's really no question that he's going to win the elections.

perhaps the key, the question is by how much and he needs the victory or partly because currently he's monday, originates from an election in 2015 which, which was a force. so he once and the renewed mandate and this elections can provide him that claim. also, as i said, there's a lot of issues around the election starts may affect that clamp. does her bid, adults have been raised by the international community about the credibility of this election? is this going to be a free and fair poll that that certainly was expectation when abby i'm it came to power and southern 18 and also in 2020 when the elections were initially supposed to happen about a lot has happened since then. there is an ongoing conflict in the region of europe and elections in romeo have been quoted by the cure push in groups and even in other parts of the country,

opposition parties have faced challenge in terms of presenting their candidates and operating through freely, unfairly. i think a free unfairness would be a high high standard. but if you compare the elections with the ones that happened in the past, that they provide quite low bar, we can say that these elections would, would be, it would be better. perhaps i think that the biggest, the biggest beneficiary, if i can say these elections would be the electro board which has developed tremendous experience and tremendous expertise in terms of managing elections. and i think that experience will be relevant going forward. does e, you said that from what you're saying an election isn't going to fix the country? what does easy appear need going on your assumption, that prime minister at the asked me when the selection, what's he got to do to tackle some of the, the most pressing issues of the country. and of course,

that will be the tensions in the different regions seeking will talk to me or, or me. and one that you have been referring to. you're right. i think the elections of they, you know, you can argue that necessarily we can argue if they are desirable. but one thing that we know is that the lectures are not going to solve the problems of power balance, the political divisions that we see in the country. they cannot, and they're not meant to, to solve those, those issues. so if we can, if the prime minister ob, yammered gets it and the new mondays and new new claim of legitimacy, he would do well to engage one in rebuilding confidence. because i think that the level of trust and confidence has suffered part to the other result of the circumstance under with the elections are being held. and partly because of other reasons. so i think you would do well to 1st rebuild confidence and then engage in a comprehensive dialogue to resolve the key issues between himself and some plus

your parties as well as those that are outside of the they look to a competition at the moment. so i think dialogue would be critical, and without it, the elections may not have met much difference. alright, delta a dim, a baby. thank you for your insight. thank you very much. the corruption and fraud when it comes to corporate 19 funds that is our next topic. in cameroon, $335000000000.00 has vanished. the search is underway and 7 ministers have been caught to give evidence. but even though president, poor b a has ordered and investigation, not everyone thinks the process will actually be a fruits as i'll report a blaze. a on reports from to walla will help work is in these public hospital insult was come, room lack the very busy personal protective equipment or p p. as a result,

about hearing about the nor mental affairs old and cameron year 180000000000 c f. a franks, if i'm not mistaken. when i think of ours, and i think about what we go, i think there was something that doesn't adopt something just does not. ada sees the start of the pandemic come room has a sheet, a total of $382000000.00 in emergency lewis from the i m. s less than $50000000.00 have been accounted for. it seems most of the money have ended up in private pockets. seize the position. this is there more. this is randy. this is the way that they function. this is what they have been doing in the camel over and over and over. large scale, small scale, medium scales. this is the regime that has given permission. it has given license to its members to teel from the state. andrew look

makeup is a communication official for the ruling party to which all the ministers call for christian and belong. he says the missing millions could be a result of an accounting arrow dollars. it's really up to you when dealing with money. there's always a possibility for an error. that's why it's important to distinguish between miscalculation and embezzlement. control money that can always miscalculation depending on the pressure you have to deal with when that is a problem that can present itself. he keep with the forces mismanagement all embezzlement. the cause i grew an unprecedented b. r. to review the findings of the inquiry and to explain to the california people what happened to the covey. 900 funds. and you are watching the news africa spill to come. a 21st century diamond brush is under way installed africa. following the rad discovery of the crystal bus is the real. the 1st one of my jury is leading investigative journalist has

a very dec wolds down. da, wait so much blood, shea. so much room do move and just horrendous in human treatments. these is a summary of what's our covert. you also nearly lost your life for that reporting. but in general, the, the nature of the work that you do is very dangerous investigative reporting. you're telling stories that people don't want to be brought to life it's. it's astonishing to me that you're willing to go to such great lengths to, to uncover the stories that you are reporting on. just talk to us about that. any story i have to hand deliver if i'm not passionate about this story, then i don't spots. it's always push on. it's about what sort of us tory i walk on . so i had so much passion for these particular investigation. it

explains when i was told at some point that c is, you know, more comfortable working on this story. you can stop, eat, i was more willing to stop. i wanted to see if so the logical conclusion. let me see the and i had the past. i have been personally affected by trafficking, you know, losing some close personal traffic because, and i had the passion born in me because i did this, tom boyle in john living. i chose john losing rights from it saying that age i had decided i was going to be comma john lease as a result of the var remains where i grew up. so passion and personal anger was driving me, lawsuits of or you're talking about your passion for your profession. but we know

that journalism in nigeria is particularly difficult. the native place, freedom rankings, place the country at $120.00 out of $180.00 countries. just how difficult is it to be a journalist in african biggest democracy without means in my word, i will categorically states that's been a john lives in jerry. yeah. a not a pleasant experience. i'm not talking about myself alone. equality speaking for my colleagues out there, you know, john lives in line, jerry at. we get to booley many journalists. i didn't see me dates. dot's womb d i b, i walk in most tories about they tried to discredit them the, the high rise arrested and imprisoned. so freedom of the breast

in the country i will say, is in a terrible states and explains why democracy is weak in the country. so be a journalist, major requires so much courage. people don't know how much work we put, how much efforts we put in so much effort and that g. so much sacrifices are maids . while walking on just is tory and the average on live in a jury at we we, i hardly ever told thank you. i read that it's harass, name's been bad mouth and being sold. and having doors slammed on my face sees me why we go out. we go to every length, right? tron out stories being a genius remind you is not easy. no,

are skeptical. these are real diamond. we are doubting about it, because you notice eulogies, if there is somebody from outside to come and test it, i think we can make money out of that. you know, most of the, the lead in south africa or something and that's on the ground. you see, we just waiting for government to come in, confirm to us to say yes, it's a diamond or not, then you can take it from there and ask for me. now give us a permission to take this one out and give us a job because i don't want any cup on is to come to take displace who don't want to do thing. the government has asked people to the case the side mainly, i think fear that the sprint of covert 19, remember the south africa company going through a 3rd wave of infections, but that obviously hasn't happened. bad news for fortune seekers. if those are indeed diamonds, they will not be allowed to keep them according to south african law. if you find

a rough diamond you're not allowed to keep it. but that does not stop the fortune seekers of coming here hoping for a diamond that could change their life. and that is it for the program today. be sure to check out our the stories on d. w dot com, forward slash africa. we're also on facebook and on twitter today will leave you with pictures of them be as founding president kennedy when he died this week aged 97. as he was the fictions, he known rhodes ambia for 27 years. taking the health off of the country, gained independence from britain in october, 1906. people with the news
