museums. is there money to ask for the return of the box or whatever the book see i'm so the back that that should be signed by the minister of culture in that time i became a minister, but they did not have the time actually to uh, to think of and if it did, but now i see that as a, with getting a money, got your b and museums and even prison, mac or of france and now and said that uh they did not do you, mr. patrick. it's time to return the money minutes of actually come back and i feel yeah, and degrees are asking the rich museum now to bring a lot of sex back it this time this d p is unique. i'm not asking for all the artifacts from the lead museum to come to

egypt. i'm asking only for the one artifacts, the boss of an infinity to come back to be shown in the bridge soon as the actually in the, in the gun give me z. i'm sorry, but actually many people now all over the oregon are supporting me, may be more think that the boss sort of the own should be the grand good museum. i know, believe me, this is what the german saying. it's gonna take me a moment. i, one of us to understand all of that. the bust is here in berlin because of gyptian authorities allowed it in 1912 there was, you know, let me finish the thoughts that the viewers are with this or in 1912. they argue there was a deal one, a wealthy german finance, an excavation too. in exchange, some 10000 artifacts would be split 5053. not only that, but a representative for the egyptians selected their half while the germans went home

with the other piece is among them the bus. what is your response to that? because they were those who would say you're trying to renege on a deal that the new at the time appeared to think was fair. i do have all the evidence to show. the boss was found in 1912 by bought a car. in that time, there was a lot that know, but only statues me to provide me store to be taken out of the ship at 4 parts adult in his diety. that is, the only one can see, this is a statute overnight for the t t major live the store. and there is this 3rd book that everyone can see here. ok? number one and a statute bit of gibson, or in 1916 native antiquities. the west finch came to make the division 5050. you found the day, but a box containing 100. it's

a lot of facts. and if the was hit the inside and nobody looked inside the box and the hardest to the statute. and he hide it in his home for the meals. and he showed it, i think 1945 added to the americans who are the big thing. they should have been bain, think that i deleted the egypt 330 me back, because this was the only about tape letter. and if you have to turn it back, i do have all the documents, based on my letter that they sent to germany, and to have them live in that live boss to lift the egypt illegally. what you are telling me it's a little at all. so to be clear about this, how do you view the bus current status in barrel and you consider it stolen? of course, i do have document that this boss of different dp,

lift egypt illegally. it should come back. what's been the response from german authorities and the noise variety, your petition did this petition has been unbalanced it 3 days ago. right. and i'm waiting. i have to know that we sent maybe in 2010 and the official letter from the hip and government approved by the by administer. but it's certainly the best of 50 back. what's your recourse if germany continues to resist the repatriation of the bus? i understand you haven't sent this petition out to the german government now, but there has been some discussion about this bus in particular, before this time, germany has not come forward to say that they have any intention of returning this bus. so if they continue to resist, what will be your record?

i really, we, we make an international popular awareness because we will, the people, how we should have money can keep us for the amount of the fact we were like. the scores in germany were right to everyone that this is don't fear to have a story in the odds fact the in your museum doctor was clarify something for me. we understand that you are having people signed a petition on your personal website. why is it on your side as opposed to some official egyptian government website? does not engine government support your efforts? this petition is complete the popular among the hip sion people and all the people all over the board and the zip and government supporting my uh, my uh, campaign to what it took to restore the lot of fax back to dfcs. i'm not asking for

all the odd facts to come back from berlin. i'm asking the only for this unique piece to be shown in the gland to be seen. besides the net for tv bust, we understand you're also advocating for the return of the what was eddystone and the dera zodiac. why are these added fox a particularly significant to sir? let me finish my questions to you. okay. why are these out of the artifacts significant of egypt? cultural heritage, as this city pieces are very important, or is it the stone, is the icon of our exemption? identity did were sticking by a friendship thief deducted from the feelings of the timber of done the or is it the boss though different the to where to pick it out of the ship. this pretty beaches are important to us as the ship them their home should not be the british

england or france or germany better home should be egypt. first, why? let's look at the ashanti gold, the u. k. return, precious artifacts looted from gonna about a 150 after a 150 years, i should say. but on a long term loan. what do you think of that idea? you know, i asked could introduce, has been, didn't to have this bust of different people for the 3 months at the albany with the grand museum and the that it to the museum refused. we had the piece for the lease and ship. it is that museum will make us to be angry and to think that this is a lot of money means how we can look to habits for loan for the 3 months at the opening of the gun. give me see if that is a prominent egyptian archaeologist in former antiquities minister doctors all he

how was many, 6 i gave him active sur, and for your time i, i guess the, if you thought russia is footprint in africa was expanding, you'd be right. it's military pledge to provide security assistance, has been felt from mali to new, share, sudan to central african republic. but since its war in ukraine, the kremlin has been increasing its soft power, investing heavily in education across the continent. home of the worlds fastest growing college age population, our corresponding funding for shar, report from nigeria, se capital the russian consulate in apple job here in nigeria as capital locals, our queuing up to trying to get these us to leave. and studying russia. russia is amazing when it comes to scholarship with those they're willing to educate people next to nothing as basically the educational system. why do they also do section 2

for the students, especially at yahoo. com building here is delicate. most of these applicants we meet. don't want to speak on camera, right? it might not be helpful for their applications. many of the people putting their hopes in russia are planning to study their now until a couple of years to go to more like you'd be wanting to go to ukraine for food, education, buses, rushes full scale invasion, turn ukraine into a war zone. more are making plans to go to city 2nd more scope, which was like in good kingsley stewed in that consulate q last week. now he's got he's rushing visa loud. so so so excited that very be like i wasn't myself anymore. oh yeah. jumping. there's nothing to keep him in nigeria. the job opportunities here is very, very, not encouraging a installation. even if you get

a job payments you can sustain yourself with it. so i said to myself, do i, it isn't the kinks he's getting ready to go to norfolk road in san for russia in a few weeks. that's where he will learn how to teach english to russian students. every thing is faithful by russia, except for the flights he sense the scholarship go by the edition fee, your accommodation and then you have a student monthly statement. so i believe with the month lease depend icon as my labor at the moment study, and then get into of this the number of students leaving places like this in africa to study in russia has tripled in the past decade. roches education ministry says they are around $35000.00 africans currently studying in russia, including more than $1009.00, gillian, galle. sure. if is researching emerging powers,

like russia and their influence in africa, he says russia is making it easier to get a visa versus also doing that to you to an advantage. you'll come yesterday. we give you scholarship, jane, minute minutes for you. you know, it possible you give us the support of cause evidence that is update on mission and interest. so the interest of 14 is we need more people to come to russia. hep was a cheap or goals in the, in, in war or any kind of me. kingsley speaks no, russian. he source of information, social media in the nigerian friend in russia. yeah. is it any kind of like, is making you worried, like, in terms of the whole, a political situation? the address? yeah. you print in the program. what kingston is good? he's worried about for

a nurse who ended up using the russian military fist. if russia asked me to join the military at some point of the shop and as a person, i wouldn't go for it. because that wasn't my main will to come into the come to mind will to these, to come study for me, i must us medically some good of safe. nigeria has been a strong ally of the united states, but the western powers are losing influence in the region. and russia is taking active steps to win african hearts and my and we are joined now by for the for sure. our senior international correspondent in lagos. welcome back to dw news africa. funny. let me start with this. why or african students so keen to take up scholarships in russia to for various prismatic reasons because sometimes this is the only choice they have to leave nigeria that is currently

undergoing one of the biggest economy crisis in a generation pushing millions of people into poverty. but is it really the 1st choice? many ways it's not, this is also a king. so you told us the protecting us, you know, report would love to go to the u. k to the united states or to canada. so very plastic destinations with a significant measure in diaspora, but he also told us it's way more complicated to get there, get the visa process started even just to get a scholarship versus russia because he did not need to prove to russian authorities that he has. you know, if the assets just very practically speaking, to be able to financially sustain himself. and then of course, we need to look at the 2 story. it's not an entirely new phenomenon. of course, the 10s of thousands of africans are studying and russia that already happened during the cold war when the soviet union attracted a lot of african students. and it is happening again as the ongoing role between the washer and ukraine is pushing actually, or it is turning the, the for

a political environment that watches in inter, an isolated situation. russia is very much in need to look towards the global self and also to look at nigeria and trying to use this still felt what education to again, reactivate some friendly ties with countries that it or they had ties with during the cold war era. it's clear to me that young man again in your report, kingsley has some worry that once he's in russia, the kremlin might compel him to fight with russia his army. how widespread is that worry among nigerians? and is it a legitimate fear we have heard about this reports that allegedly nigerians, but also students from other african countries allegedly the faults to flight. oh ok, cool. and the allegedly being forced to fight for russia at the front line. now this is something we cannot prove. we did have received information from a jew and family who did not want to go on camera for security reasons. were told

us that their son currently service interruption military but on a voluntary basis, because simply he did not find a job. they told us after he was done with his study. so clearly it is a time patient also to make some money. the question of course, and this is something we cannot answer just how many students not only nigerians, but african students overall. and for a students in russia feel tempted to joined the russian military and very much so the jury is also king. so, you know, report is of course, very much aware of the ongoing war between ukraine and russia, but he says this is the only stick. it literally has, this is the only chance he has right now for a better life. and he's very much keen to take the tickets and go to russia regardless of the risk this may entail me. why is nigeria important for russia? of the julia is the country with the biggest population on the continent. it is also one of the most important economies in africa. so the speaking of manpower,

the speaking of resources, so certainly advice, you know, to any russia, other countries as well. the russian in particular right now is very much interested in the jury, yet in fact, there is a thing. if you have influence over the jury, yet you certainly have influence in many parts of the continent. but we need to look at number see a, this a bit because currency when it comes to trade economy. russia is literally only a foot note here in that area. the biggest trick partners of nigeria, china, are india, the united states and various european countries. but russia is eager to increase this the, the, the economic cooperation, but also cooperation in the sector of education and culture. a corporation. in fact, various circles, russian houses and culture ascentis a plan to be set up across africa. also, he and julia, offering russian class is full free like russian language courses. so there's a big question, just how much this investment into this relationship between russia at no julia.

what that means looking full, but especially when it comes to the question of security. now, julia, just like so many other countries in the saw her region, 1404. as soon as you armada is facing insurgency, terrorism, and all these countries, i've just mentioned the old to interrupt your full help. the question is within the jew is going to be and there was quite some concern of an anti government protest or up to the in august and be a fee for the very 1st time the jury and some of the jury and waving russian flags . now this has nothing to eat or estimated football certainly shouldn't underestimate russia still fall tool. and that goes way beyond just offering some scholarships. right now. jerry has been target of various russian propaganda and this information contains i'm here is depressed and just looking at how the into the future. what ross yeah is uh, is trying to do in terms of setting up the big foot step into nigeria as this country is completely out across roads. we've got to it's economy, but also the politics and the entire situation situation with regard to security.

our thanks as a ways too funny for sure. our senior international correspondent in lagos to cameron. now we're for years dr. george booley has been commuting to remote villages in cameroon, on weekends, providing critical health care, free of charge to poor communities. the w's blaze young. recently accompanied bully and his team of volunteers on a 2 day trip from the capital young day to local new the cameroon, nigerian border. be aware that the next report contains real images of medical procedures do consider looking away. if you're sensitive about surgery and every judge, we have a given you out of the surgeon walk in the only central hospital. we are not

sufficient enough for volunteer name. ask of you ok, group of young people on the assembly side the the mix. oh great. the team will leave you over the weekend. i set up a move by hospital in a village during the said to this of treatment we receive or the population of the, the under privileged people of the few days. i'm give them free health services while the least when the surgery. so we're still waiting, patient is coming all over the villages on the as you know, even as of the weight of the 200, you have another 1201 to one down to 190. and the vision going to miss this because some of them are in there from now from you. and they don't know about the program

. my photos in for 3 years, he was having them, in broad broadside to the bread. the only one you're suggesting, blah, blah, and he wasn't able to meet him. so we were like 2 or 300 people waiting for that in your surgeon. i mean that to me, when you bridget, i know you're in this of the doctor. when you mean do i gave you a specialist um take it off before they'll have to meet the specialist the way we create their best for him not to stay in the hospital or we think vision, but the good deal they they they, they, they are kind of places to meet the patients on the places and to trade them there. even while i did good the funding in the sense of the process on this is quite a bit of

a sound when i get done with the formula deal anastasia, i'm, if i say this kind of mission, we don't the scanner. okay. you know, these kind of 14 and they sent me the internet and this is girl. that's why sometimes you can see a position with the n. yeah. the patient, us 44. yes. and you also for to, for years. because the was wondering on without means to take care. i. so you will have the scale fuel efficiency. huge, huge, huge. but the the lot is in, is a global. i mean, they have said the will, they keep their life comp. i it could be connected to less complex 0 because i live out and then we'll say being fee in the area with the probity

they want to go to the hospital. maybe they'll have money to buy them as you get to, to call me those people for this the, for the wrong with that either. so the main thing you will see is that you will see the eat of this. but you will see that in the last speech, it's an online, i mean the hospital. so do you mind the model of the tearful at 4 pm? i'm a teacher going to the university. teach to then do 7. and then at 7 doing my private clinic, this private clinic kind of finish and they meet at midnight. but this private clinic are very important because this is the main source of the that we can find. those are the eskoville activities because we don't have at the maintenance support . we have once i knew support, but not the municipal i'm the man who knows that this is what god asked me to do.
