popular artifact in berlin's noisiest museum. ever titi reigned in the 14th century b. c. and may have been the mother of the famed boy king to whom common and we can welcome to the show permanent egyptian archaeologist and former antiquities minister doctor is all he how us of joints is from the cairo airport. dr. whole us. it's a pleasure to have you with us. why do man and much? why do you believe the deputy, the bus should be returned to egypt after more than a century in germany? because the, the, we, we have evidence will collect the disagreements and 2010 in the boston new 50 p, p was taking illegally out of keisha. and i sent a letter in january, 2nd, 2011 to director of museums. is there money to ask for the return of the box or

whatever the lucky 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 actually to uh, to think of a different date, but now i see that is a with getting a money. got your b and museums and even prison. mike gordon of france and now and said that uh they distracted dougherty. mr. patrick, it's a fine to return the money minutes of actually come back and i feel yeah, and degrees are asking that they choose the am now to bring god effects 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 museum. actually in the, in the gun do 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. and believe me, this is what the german saying. it's going to 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 no real, no, let me finish it. so it says 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 both o'clock. in that time, there was a lot that know early and uh, statues me to remind me story to be taken out of the ship at hearts. look 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, the book that everyone can see. here, old number one and a statute made of gifts to 6. in 1916, that event dick with this, the what fridge came to make the division 5050. you found the day but a bucks contain 100. it's a lot of the facts. and if the was hit the inside and nobody looked inside the box

. and the hottest took the statute and he hide it in his home for the meals until he showed it. i think 1945 added to the americans who would have a think thing. they should have been bain. think that i deleted the egypt, returned me back, because this was just calling about tip letter. and if you have to return it back, i do have all the documents, based on my letter that they sent to, to germinate, and to have them live in that live boss to lift the zip 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 berlin? you consider it stolen? of course, i do have documents that this boss of different bt lift shipped illegally. it

should come back, what's been the response from german authorities and the noise is very high into your petition. it. this petition has been analysis 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 shouldn't government approved by the, by administer, but it took me the bottom 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 for a lot of sense. we were like, the scores in germany were right to everyone. that this is book fair to have a story, an odd 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? this petition is complete the popular among the hip sion people and all the people all over the ward and ships and government supporting my uh my uh, campaign to to restore the lot of fax back dfcs. i'm not asking for all the other fax to come back from the lien. i'm asking the only for this unique piece to be

shown in the ground gives you besides the never to be bossed, 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 georgette. we're sticking by friendship. steve deducted from the feeling of the timber of done the or is it the boss though different? the 2 are thinking 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 flight. 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 cause the didn't to have this bust of different did for the 3 months at the albany with the grand 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 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 give active sur, and for your time the thank you the

if you thought rushes 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 nigeria as capital locals are queuing up to trying to get these us to leave and study in russia. russia is amazing when it comes to scholarship with those they're willing to educate people at next and nothing basically the smallest and then also do section 2 for the students is 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 these 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. but since 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 in good kingsley. stewed in that consulate q last week. now he's got he's russian visa loud . so so, so, so exciting that they'd 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 the 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. everything is spiteful by russia except for the flight c sense. the scholarship provides the tuition fee you accommodation and then you have a student monthly statement. so i believe with the monthly spend 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, it possible you give us the support of cause evidence that is update on mission and interest. so the interest of point thing is we need more people to come to russia, help us achieve our goals in a wall or any kind of meet. kingsley speaks, no russian, the source of information, social media, and then a jury and friend in russia. yeah. is there any tend, 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 using the russian military fist. if russia asked me to join

the military, at some point, i would be 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 is to come started for me, i must us magically. so good of safe nigeria has to be in a strong ally of the united states. but the western powers are losing influence in the region and russia. it's 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? for various prismatic 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 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 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? you may have heard about those reports that allegedly nigerians, but also students from other african countries allegedly before the fight or uh, coolant 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 who told us that their son currently serves in the russian 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 10 patient also to make some money out. the question of course, and this is something we cannot answer just how many students that only nigerians, but african students overall and for a students in russia feel attempted 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 role 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 luxury 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 in russia and those one of your 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 on culture, a cooperation, in fact, very a so called russian houses and culture, a census, 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, etna, 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 the region, 14 o 4. 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 be or estimated with was certainly shouldn't under estimates rush just so power tools. 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 russia is a is trying to do in terms of setting up the big foot step into nigeria as this country is completely out 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 always to

funding 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 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 every judge, we have a given united resource or just walk in. you only central us because we are not sufficient enough for volunteer name. ask of you

ok, group of young people on the summary sides of the 3 mix, create the team will leave you only every 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 on the privilege people of the few days. i'm give them free health services, very surrender surgery. so we're still waiting patient is coming all over the villages on the you know, even if of stuff like this one that you have another one to one down one to one down to the 190. and the vision going to miss this because some of them are in deaf . i'm now fi from you and they don't know about the program. my

photos, you put the 3 years, you're solving them abroad, brought the inside to the bread. the only one you're suggesting, blah, blah, and he wasn't even giving it to him. so we were like 2 or 300 people waiting for that new or so. john, i made that to me. when you bridget, i know you're in this of the doctor. when you mean do i gave you a specialist. i'm thinking of the people who don't have to meet this specialist, the way recreate it best for him to 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 miss the patients on their places and to through them that even while i do class good, the finding in son is that the process on the support that of if someone i deal with donald for the formula dylan, it's susie, i'm, if i say this kind of mission without these kind of, okay, you know,

these kind of importing and they sent me the internet and this is girl. that's why sometimes you can see a position with the n. yeah. the position us for the, for us, and you also for the, for years because he was wondering on the documents 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 come by. it could be connected to less complex 0 because i live out. 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 this before along 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 pm? 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 it will can find us od eskoville activities because we don't have as the amendment support, we have sports and your support, but not the municipal i'm the man who knows that this is what good asks me to do, and this is what i'm doing. i'm so happy to that's it for now,
