provinces of the anglican church to lead a rebellion over the endorsement of same sex unions. could this lead to a split in the church? and it's back africa's largest an oldest film festival fest. backhoe focuses this year on celebrating culture while promoting peace with until me or lady. boy, it's good to have you with us. let's begin in nigeria, where bhalla ahmed, too noble has been elected as the next president. the main opposition parties are launching a legal case though, claiming the vote was riddled with irregularities. we'll discuss those elements shortly, but 1st, let's take a look at some numbers. my jury is africa's most populous country with an estimated 216000000 people in the run up to the election. 87000000 of them held the voter

identity cause that permitted them to take part. but of these just under 25000000 nigerians actually voted last week that made it a record lowest ever turn out in the nigerian presidential vote. so what went wrong on election day garrison views from lagos, liber we're ready to woods, we're down so many clubs. the boss was not walking, these were not already what i said is that the one with you. i mean you have with us god, your hon. you are design franchise. so you, so i know you so you spend full, a guy couldn't watch it off, got to move around and you can expect people to, to be out wendy, or they don't have costume of around. so i didn't as one of the fact of the effect it on out. yes, i have bought it my boy discounted because you know the election is we have it is one of the best in excess of our we had in this country. they walk, her motto, dies a lie. you book. it might be very fair, family, my poly units,

diasorno above you, people that are not almost was i would do something the like a little. we know we're, we're not, we're up to 50. what is our, where was 79? if i want, if i want to remember people care, my says online people came up with the kind of the will i saw outside. there was no way back on her to toggle. it will be said to are being cast it onto selection is just the completion. we can now speak to that her son, director of the center for democracy and development. she joins us now from a booge out. welcome to the program. now, you were an observer at the elections. can you sum up the conduct of this vote? i think it was quite interesting because nigerian stated foam, the spiritual reg sites means answers dancing. and one's anxiety had that almost got into hunger because of the conduct of the train. see it's train to tree

presidential national assembly elections. i think it's all borders on few challenges that actually money did from the elections. one to poor handling of logistics by the election management by team, the incidences of tank medation and so push on the parts of the country. and of course val linda and some very lead to vote buying well. so in content saw, put together this as kind of blighted to how to calm of the elections in the minds of mainly people, people expected much. but they got very leaps in terms of what they were promised. ah, as it relates to the quality of their elections, the other, the opposition parties, the main opposition bodies, a single take this to court. what to election challenges look like in my dear, do these parties actually stand a chance of getting what they want from the court? i didn't did to stand a chance. it's part of the lead to mad justice,

and that is what democracy self in tills. wow, this is a process iep that the food that has actually been flawed in several instances. and it not just be the presidential candidate that much in, in the approach and cut it also be some of the national office as the legislative offices that we actually did con, am i content contested data? will that add that? and i do our true that there will be a gale of litigation. i'm with some watched by the court self. the court still remains the last had been done in terms of our disputes in this country. i need is the best option and we are awful. they would get justice. we're required. okay, it us, we'll continue this conversation shortly. but let's now take a closer look at the man who's been declared the winner of the elections. viola i'm a tenable walner, a med center who is

a former governor of nigeria commercial hope legal state. he is seen as a political godfather and king maker who has raised or that politicians. and now he says it's his turn. oh really wow ha ha. single claims to be the masterminds behind the economic prosperity of legal in which the city has benefited from huge investment. and he says he wants to replicate the same model across the country. he has consistently denied the allegations of corruption that have played his political career. the 70 year old president elect wants to continue some of the policies of his predecessor president mohammed to pull harry. he wants to focus heavily on industrialization and agriculture, as well as tackling nigeria security challenges to local and state policing. so

you the people, especially the youth, i will walk on my our walk through the utmost best of a marble due to america. my yeah. better opponents claim. he's in fragile hill and even point to occasion out incoherence in his public speeches. bertino boot camp insists he is competent in every way to run the country. the immediate tasks he faces, who tests these claims. as he takes over a troubled country is still with us democracy and governments is your specialty. so in that regard, what can we expect from a chino bush presidency? i think the president this, the walk of absolutely build in nigeria goes beyond gentle boy, him. so he's patsy will include every material on board to make changes happen. and

the 1st thing is that nigeria, i suspect to see him for the, for the making decisions. the most, it's the ground running. i'm parent wants is that to leave the building national unity itself by wanting an inclusive government that is inclusive of you to women, women and all that and religion. and i show them that this is not going to be a government of one religion, or which one part of the country with whom i generalize. follow in, that's immediately we've been address will be addressed him. the epidemic of insecurity that is actually that they did this country from the g. i had to stand such as it and they bonded straight to the separation is such a taishan design plus and but it entails beyond have in books on ground to one that's actually abduct monday and not to take effort such as justice sector reform

addressing poverty gets what's a very, very important component and above all, the economy, extremely important. nigeria gone to the session twice. and the last s, m e s plus i, we have more than 33 percent unemployment rates and decides strictly young people. because this is a country with the media image of just a 19 years old. so the, this ad and economy economy will be fed extremely important so that you can actually feel that democracy is delivering dividends to not just emotional, going through elections every 4 years. and i have a son, director of the center of the center for democracy and development. thank you for speaking to us. ah, you're watching d. dublin is africa still to come. riveting cinema as africa's top film festival

returns. and this year it has a focus on strong women to kenya. now, where the supreme court has ruled that the gay community can register rights organization. and this repeals a band by the angel registration board 1st imposed in 2013 in the new ruling. the judges notice that it would be unconstitutional to limit the right to associate, through denial of registration of an association purely on the basis of the sexual orientation of the applicants. but gay sex remains illegal in kenya, reflecting much of the popular rhetoric deal. but why there is a lawyer for the eligibility community in kenya. he welcome to the supreme court ruling, but he also fear it could make life harder for eligibility. canyon's people lay limited, but also scared of the risks that associated with identifying themselves. but also with the harm that might result as a backlash from my judgement in the supreme court that they may not necessarily

have been involved, especially within the context of the recent matters of queer people that will remind you that you can't just go out there to be, are to serve. he says lesbian and gay, people in kenya still have no protection from the threats of extreme violence the face, every day. the issue is, can i live, can i be safe? can i go to my home and not be followed by the board? the board as outside. we know that people who are that they're scared of leaving the house because if they will double that right as outside, see them, they could drip them. we have situations where corrective lip has been used against people. homosexuality is that a bull subject he in kenya gave people say the 5th persecution and even violence, they feel the law is against them. as is the way the public, many of the people who spoke to on the streets of they will be have very strong opinions. we're not going to have any kids. they're not going to say i kids that is that bad for me. i totally disagree with that. i can't accept this loy,

a man can have a man relationship and a woman omen measure for me. now, let alone we should just do with whatever the feel is. very kenya's largest. pentecostal chat is an influential voice in society and reflects similar attitudes, almost sexuality. it is really not african. ah, african culture preserves what i would call the traditional family where there is a father and a mother ah, one male. they had a female. and as children will grow up with the in that kind family setting, we also see apart from being an african data, homosexuality is contrary to biblical directives, president william brutal says kenya will not legalize same sex relationships and our, his was had to wear the we cannot go in the direction where women will marry,

fellow women and men will marry fellow men. one i would like it never happened in the republic of kenya. was it just watch this space? it will happen elsewhere, but never in kenya when he got in for gilbert and the community he represents the future looks bleak despite the supreme court ruling the issue of l g. b t. acceptance as a fiery debate in some christian circles. the global anglican church is facing a crisis with some of its members condemning their british counter, bought for approving the blessing of same sex couples and a statement. the bishops from africa, asia, latin america and the pacific say they no longer recognize archbishop of canterbury, just in welby as their leader. it abused julius macomber reports from uganda, whose anglican church is also one of the signatories. ah, memory b, e b outskirts of compiler. the british beauties, cathedral as

a house of worship about us, of the abyss displayed anglican christianity. so what was then a colonial protectorate? now at the same place, 150 years later, the convicts a timing against the anglican leadership in canterbury. they see the english at bay vomiting from the faith. the once told at to bishop stephen mcdonell accuses his british counterpart. justin willoughby, of departing from tradition, by allowing the clergy to bless sim 6th relationships. lord, bravo dot is wrong, dot is wrong. that is wrong. or the church, a real good girl. we cannot accept to that gallow and you live in either anglican to be ships from countries including salts, sedan and congo, signed

a letter saying they no longer recognise welby, as head of the anglican communion. i wanted rel, horror charge, intruder batty, or where, where they are free to do that. we're, after all autonomous anglican. ah bravo uses. we think said body idea. but they are free for bleak bobby, i'm not rock. bill hall. i'm going to kind of got lou noon wisdom gay rights activist friends mokesha sees the i to bishop's public rejection of blessings. since it's marriages has may been a really difficult situation, was quizzed, violence, black men expulsion mailing forces and also show exclusion. who since some members of the eligibility coming to being denied services are if they got health santos.

and also seen members of the elderly community and being thrown out of homes that one families mokesha. he is a pre, a full gay man. he wants all churches to be more inclusive. i am a christian and am catholic, practicing catholic women, philosophical friend. i've had to believe that a follow i have fallen on my faith and they take my faith very serious, higher than harassing them. ugly is higher than creating more discrimination that church and with this left fist for sancho where people go and for me, i believe that is why the judge is supposed to be full where people go if they feel unwonted, if they fill out classes. so society, jackson, boys, i ain't got majority in uganda and must have a deep respect for the opinions of its leaders. likely to be glue. why surprise would likely bakovich bishop, should this approval or sim 6 marriages leads to

a biggest bleed in the church? we're now joined by alias bung back professor of religion at rice university in texas in the us. welcome to the dublin years professor. just looking at this issue . do you think this dispute will actually lead to a split in the anglican church? thank you for having me. this split discussion and the anglican church has gone on for a very long time. now. the key person was ah, the anglican bishop nigeria, the most reverend peter, allah. who very vigorously put out the perspective that same sex relation was unacceptable. not only on

cultural but on the grounds and that conflict threatened the anglican church. i. it is not really clear where that will go because they did actually form a conception of churches of the south who supported ah deny jerry and bishop. but i don't think that one can say, conclusively that it will eventually need to do break up of the under contract because it's the best like this. a part of the church, the church history is full of these very the kinds of tough debate. ah, my hope actually is that it will not get to that point for a number of reasons. because for example, of all people,

one of the most prominent anglican clerics in africa, the late archbishop desmond tutu, was very supportive and terming of same sex relations to south africa that has a very strong anglican tradition. also. as the church there has wrestled with these and it is not really clear that it is a simple that all of africa is against same sex relations and for that matter they are going to quit the rest of the christian world. again, my hope is that the tie us is so strong that they will continue conversations on these issues. right, because the implications would be, would be huge. wouldn't they? considering nearly 60 percent of anglicans worldwide are in africa.

yes, the, the, the implications would be huge. i mean, it was call it a seismic shift in the church, but i also think that ah, the ties that bind the anglican communion war wide, including africa op tom was stronger than this one issue i think are further consideration. thoughtfulness are deliberation on the teachings of the church. and even the very basic notion that when there is a conflict or division people should talk from the perspective of love are tolerance and acceptance. one hopes that in the end i think it would be able to see the larger worldwide vision of the church and not allow

issues like this to break the communion. a part of it is it is a dock trial issue. why do these churches have varying or seem to have varying interpretations of theological issues based on where in the world they are, you know, the africans versus for example, you know, the west and anglican church. no, that's a complex question. like you say it's a matter of interpretation. the way the african churches have raised the issue is that both in the hebrew bible and in the new testament, same sex relations were condemned. but the progressive voices, and here i count myself a spot of that. i've argued that the christian faith is a law, involves

a lot more than sexuality or the very focus on sin. i think several years ago, there was a wonderful study on homosexuality and a new testament. the argument was that even when paul in the romance tex condemns same sex relations are he is actually one of the core arguments of that is that people should not be just mental because should be accepting of each other. and i, and i think on disputed questions like this. it seems to me that in the long run, and here is just a hope that people will disagree, but extend love to one another and walk together. what a great, a good not only of the anglican commission communion, but the christian tradition in general in africa where we still continue to

experience a lot. okay. well, have to leave it there for now. the last bar, professor of religion at rice university. many thanks for your time. and thank you so much for having the filmmakers are back in book in a fossil for the pan african film and television festival of why got to go or fest battle if africa largest film festival and takes place every 2 years. but since the last edition, but none of us are, has suffered to military coups and a 3rd injury had his violence in some regions. but that has not got in the way of this year's event with 170 films on the screening schedule. and many of them, groundbreaking. hm. the festival presents an opportunity to showcase and celebrate african film. since it began in

1969, the top award has been given only to men. this year, women and their stories are taking center stage. most of the time when we talk about the woman, we see them as victims. but the other one who takes care of the, the kids, the other one who sometime have lost their, their, their father, their, their, their, their husband, that the brothers, those women are such a big part of, of, of, of, of a, fighting against a terrorist that we need to talk about it, and for me, i needed to give them a voice and i needed to, to show how of course they're participating in this really g. m m e a gun. but you know, leading hagan director, apple intro. ray is competing with her film sera, which has already won an award at the berlin international film festival. the young protagonist suffers a brutal attack by islamist terrorists,
