like the idea of getting such a full sized job of being stuck with dreams coming through, making money, having fun and whatnot fails. and so i'm seeing stuff, september 19th on d, w the . this is the w news, africa coming up on the program. for many, her face is the epitome of beauty. the ancient egyptian queen never td, reputed mother of the fabled boy thing to him, common. she has been captivating all who receive that face. here in berlin, for now calls in egypt for her return to per ancestral homeland. we speak to the man who wants her best. we visit nigeria, where many young people see their future outside their country. russian visas are proving popular. we meet one man who is dead. stop is russia. and in cam rude,

a traveling doctor in his own words, george would it travels his weekends in the countryside, providing critical health care to poor communities, free of charge, the i'm mike local, welcome. she is probably the most iconic african woman who ever lived. and she's here in berlin. the world famous bust of never td queen of egypt 1st went on display in the german capital a 100 years ago. that might sound like ancient history. but her beauty spent more than 3000 years slumbering in her homeland where she was entombed many centuries ago now and egyptian archaeologist has launched a petition calling on germany to return the famous artwork. the painted limestone

bus was discovered near cairo by german, archaeologists. in 1912. it's the most popular artifact in berlin's noise museum. after td reigned in the 14th century b, c, and may have been the mother of the famed boy, king 2 can comment and we can welcome to the show prominent egyptian archaeologists, and former antiquities minister doctor is all he how us of joyce's from the cairo airport dr. whole us, it's a pleasure to have you with us. why do men and much? why do you believe the deputy, the bus should be returned to egypt after more than a century in germany? because b, b we, we have evidence will collect this evidence in 2010 in the box. so when, if it was taken illegally, altoff keisha and i sent a letter in january, 2nd,

2011 to direct. it'll museums is their money to ask for the return of the box or whatever the box, the i'm so the back that that should be signed by the minister of culture in that time i became administered, but they did not have the time extra money to uh, to think of and if it did, but now i see that as a, with getting a money, got you to be and museums and even prison. mike gordon of france and now and said that uh they distracted dougherty, mr. patrick and it's time to return the money minutes of actually come back and i feel bad 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 barely 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 museum. i'm sorry. but actually many people now all over the world are supporting me, may be more think that the boss sort of the home should be the grand museum. a not believe me. this is what the german saying. it's going to take me a moment. i want to abuse or 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 it. so i said 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 point you have to 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 and statues me to remind me story to be taken out of be shipped at the hearts adult in his biology that he's the only one can see. this is a statute overnight a t p made to remind the story and there is this 3rd book that everyone can see. he wrote number, we had a statute made of gibson 6 in 1916 native and dick with this thoughts french came to make the division 5050. he 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 bar hottest to the statute. and he hired it in his home for the meals until he showed it. i think 1945 added to the americans who would have a think thing, the gentleman being think that i deleted the egypt 330 me back because this was just calling about that letter. and if you have to return 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 does look a little at all. so to be clear about this, how do you view the bus current status in berlin? you consider it stolen? of course, i do have documents that this boss of different dp lift shipped illegally. it

should come back, what's been the response from german authorities and the noise value to your petition? did this petition has been analysis fits 3 days ago. right. and i'm waiting. i have to know that we sent maybe in 2010, and the official letter from that zip send government approved by the prime minister. but it's certainly the best of it. 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 started. lot of the fact we were like the scores in germany were right to everyone that this is book fair to have a story and odds fact in your museum doctor was clarify something for me. we understand that you were having people signed a petition on your personal website. why is it on your site as opposed to some official egyptian government website? does no engine definitely support your efforts? it's petition is complete the popular among the hip sion people and all the people all over the board and the zip codes and government support. think my uh, my uh, campaign to a tutor distorted a lot of facts back to he says,

i'm not asking for all the 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, this city pieces are very important or is it that stone is the icon of our to ship some identity deck for sticking by fame, shift thief, deducted from the feeling of the timber of done the or is it the bus though different? the 2 are thinking, how would you ship this pretty beaches are important to us as a ship them their home should not be the british and going over to france or

germany. better home should be egypt. first, 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 keep it for the 3 months at the albany with the grand give museum and the director of the museum. but if use we add 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 a loan for 3 months at the open in the garden. let me see if that is a prominent egyptian archaeologist and former antiquities minister doctor's how he,

how was many thanks, i give it back to him, sir, and for your time, i guess 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 molly 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, you know, boucher here in the julius capital locals are queueing up to trying to get visas to leave and study in russia. russia is amazing when it comes to scholarship with those they're willing to educate people at next to nothing. basically the

educational system. why did they also do section 2 for the students? except if this idea 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 if you're 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 cities like most of the she was like language kingsley stewed in that consulate q last week. now he's got he's russian visa loud. like so so so, so exciting 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 this inflation even if you get

a job the payments you can sustain yourself with it. so i said to myself, do i, it isn't the kingston. 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. everything is spiteful by russia except for the flight c sense the scholarship provide the tuition fee, your accommodation, and then you have as depend once they've been. so i believe with the model is depend icon. but 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 owned 35000 africans, currently studying in russia. including more than 1009, gillian galleys sheriff 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, if possible, you give us the support of cause evidence that this update on mission and interest . so the interest of poor thing is we need more people to come to russia, hep us a cheap or goals in the, in, in war or any kind of e. kingsley speaks no russian, the source of information, social media, and 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 with kingston, east board. he's worried about for

a nurse who's ended up so you seen 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 country, mind will to these, to come study for me. i must us magically so good of safe now do you yes. to be no 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? or for various pragmatic reasons, because sometimes this is the only choice they have to leave,

not julia that is currently undergoing one of the biggest economy crisis in a generation, pushing millions of people into poverty. but isn't 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, off assets just very practically speaking, to be able to financially sustain himself. and then of course, we need to look at the history. 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 russia and ukraine is pushing actually, or it is turning the, the for

a political environment that watches in, into an isolated situation. the russia is very much in need to look towards the global self and also to look at nigeria and trying to use this self pallets what education to again, reactivate some friendly ties with countries that already 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? you may have heard about this reports that allegedly nigerians, but also students from other african countries allegedly by 4 to 5. 0 ok, cool. and fee 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 serves into russian military. but on a voluntary basis, because simply, he did not find a job. they told us after he was done with his studies. so clearly it is a time patient also to make some money out. 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 ross, you feel tempted to join 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 nigeria 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 is

speaking of resources. so certainly advice you know, to any russia other countries as well. the rush in particular right now is very much interested in the jury, yet in fact, there is a thing. if you have influence over in that area, 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 and economy. russia is literally only a foot note here in nigeria. the biggest trick putting us often a jury, china, our india, the united states and various european countries. but russia is eager to increase this uh, the, the, the, the economic cooperation, but also cooperation in the sector of education on culture, a corporation. in fact, various circles, russian houses and culture, a census, a plan to be set up across africa. also, he and the julia offering the russian class is full free like russian language courses. so there's a big question, just how much this investment into these relationships 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 routine of fossil energy, armada is facing insurgency, terrorism and all these countries of just mention the altering to rush shuffle help . the question is within the jew is going to be and it was quite some concern of an anti government protest or opted in august and be a fee for the very 1st time nigeria and some of the julians waiving russian flags. now this has nothing to eat or estimated, but was certainly shouldn't under estimate russia still power tools. and that goes way beyond just offering some scholarships. right now. jerry has been target the various russian propaganda and this information contains. i'm here is depressed and just looking at how the into the future, what russia is, uh, is trying to do in terms of setting up the big foot step into nigeria as this country is complete, that across the roads we've got to it's economy, but also politics and a,

the entire situation situation with regard to security. our thanks as a ways to 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 under to day trip from the capital one day to local new the camera room. 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 there is judge way of a given united the source or just walk in the only central hospital. we have

a suspicion of like here name ask of you ok. group of young people on the summary said look the the mix. i will create the team, will leave you only ever. we can set up a demo by hosts we thought. and if you each during the said to this of friedman, we receive all the pollution of the, the under privileged people of the few days. i'm give them free health services. very so when the surgery, so we're still waiting patient is coming all over the villages on the or you know, even if of stuff like this one day you have another one to one down one to one down to 190 and the vision going to miss this because some of them are in there from now

platform. yeah. and they don't know about the program. my photos, you put the 3 years he was having them abroad. rodney side to the brain. the only one your suggest in the and he wasn't able to meet him. so we were like 2 or 300 people waiting for that new or so. john, i made that to me. when you will budget. i know your image to be a doctor when you mean do i gave you a specialist. i'm thinking of the people don't have to meet this specialist the way recreate it best for him not to stay in the hospital or what's in position, but it's a good deal. they, they, they, they, they are kind of places to meet the patients on the places and to, through them the the, even while i do good the finding sense of the process on this is quite a bit of

a sound when i deal with donald for the find the anastasia i'm, if i say this kind of mission without these kind of okay, show you that he's got a 14 and they say with the internet and this is girl. that's why sometimes you can see a petition read the n. yeah. the patient us 44. yes. and the annual a suit for 4 years because he was wondering if it's on without means to take care. i. so you will have the scale fuel efficiency. huge, huge, huge. by the way, the white glove is in is a global. i mean they have said the will. they keep the lock on why it could be connected to less complex 0. i'm glad i lift that and then we'll see being see

in the area with the people that they want to go to the hospital. but they don't have money to buy them as it gets you to come in. they'll assist us with these people with that either. so the main thing you will see is that you will see the end 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 4 at 4 p m, i'm a teacher going to the university. teach to then to 7. and then at 7, doing my private clinic, this private clinic, i'm finished and they meet at midnight. but this private clinic are very important because this is the main source of the work on finance, on eskoville activities because we don't have at the maintenance support. we have sports, i new support, but not the municipal i'm the man who knows that this is what god asked me to do.

and this is what i'm doing. i'm so happy to that's it for now, but please be sure to check out our other stores on dw dot com slash traffic off 4 on social media the
