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 as a with getting among you 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 means of actually come back and i feel yeah, and degrees are asking that they choose the am now to bring a lot of sex back as it this time this d p is unique. look, 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 go on the 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 own should be the grand do museum. and not believe me. this is what the german saying. it's going to take me a moment. i want to abuse, i 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 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 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 early statues me to provide me story to be taken out of the ship at both hearts adult in his biology. that is, the only one can see, this is a statute overnight for the t t major live the store. and that is the 3rd book that everyone can see here or number one and a statute bit of gibson. in 1916, they didn't stick with this, but what french came to make the division 5050?

they found that they bought a box contain 100. it's a lot of the facts. and if it was hit the inside and nobody looked inside the box and bar hottest took 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 thick thing. they should have been bain, think that i thought it'd be easier to return me back because this was just calling about tip letter. that if you have to tell me back, i do have all the documents, based on my letter that they sent to, 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 berlin? you consider it stolen? of course, i do have document that this boss of different d,

p. lift is shipped illegally. it should come back. what's been the response from german authorities and the noise the i have to do a 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 send 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 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 in the odds fact and you and museum doctor was clarify something for me. we understand that you are having people sign a petition on your personal website. why is it on your side as opposed to some official egyptian government website? does not engine definitely support your efforts. this petition is complete the popular among the hip sion people and all the people all over the board and that ships in governmental supporting my uh my uh, campaign to, to restore the lot of facts back dfcs. 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 division here. besides the never to the boss, we understand you're also advocating for the return of the what was eddystone and the dera zodiac. why are these added fox is 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 was taken by a friendship thief deducted from the feelings of the timber of done the or is it the bust of different dates you were thinking? how would you ship this pretty beaches are important to us as a ship. them their home should not be the british in glenn or 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 cause the didn't to have this bust of different did for the 3 months at the albany with the grand museum and the that it to the museum refused. we had the peaceful relationship. it is the museum will make us to be angry and to think that this is our mornings, how we can look to habits, but alone 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 how he,

how was many 6 i give active sur, 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 correspondence funny for shar, report from nigeria as capital the russian consulate in apple job here in the julius capital locals are queueing 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 at next to nothing. basically the educational system.

why do they also do section 2 for the students? if their side, the 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 says rush, just full scale invasion, turn ukraine into a war zone. more are making plans to go to cities like most of the she was like english kingsley stewed in that consulate q last week. now he's got he's russian visa loud. so so, so, so exciting that very be like that 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. you want to get the job payments. you can sustain

yourself with it. so i said to myself, do i resent the kinks and 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 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 galli. 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, to an advantage. you'll come yesterday. we give you scholarship gen, 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 a wall or any kind of meet kingsley speaks, no russian, the source of information, social media, and the nigerian friend in russia. yeah. is it any sound like it's making you worried? like in terms of the whole a political situation? the arrows share your screen with kingston, east board. he's worried about for

a nurse who 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 come to mind will to these, to come study for me. i must us magically so good. i'm 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, reports would love to go to the u. k to the united states or to canada. so very classic destinations with a significant that you and they asked for. 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 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 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 cells and also to look at the julia and trying to use the 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 criminal and mike compelled him to fight with russia, his army. how widespread is that worry among nigerians? and is it a legitimate fear? or we have heard about this reports that allegedly nigerians, but also students from other african countries, allegedly by 4 to 5 o, cool, see 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 10 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 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 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 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 boss, you know, to any russia other countries as well. but russian 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 this a bit because the currency, when it comes to trade economy rush is literally only a foot note here in nigeria. 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 corporation, but also cooperation in the sector of education and culture. a corporation, in fact, very a so called russian houses and culture a census, a plan to be set up across africa. also, he and the 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 her region 1404. as soon as you are marty 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 opted 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 with was certainly shouldn't under estimate 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 into the future. what russia is a is trying to do in terms of setting a big off foot step into nigeria as this country is completely out across the roads . we've got 6 economy, but also politics and

a the entire situation situation with regard to security. our thanks as a waste to funding for sure. our senior international correspondent in lagos to cameron. now we're for years gone through george bullet, 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 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 there is judge way of a given united the source or just walk in the only central hospital. we are not

sufficient enough for like here name ask of you. ok. group of young people on the summary say look to the mix. create the team will leave you only ever. we can set up a demo by hospital in the village during the said to this of treatment we receive or the population of the the privilege people of the few days. i'm give them free health services liabilities when the surgery. so we're still waiting patient is coming all over the villages on the or, you know, even if of the way to do this one day, you have another one to one down, one to one down to the 120. and that vision going to miss this because some of them are in deaf. i'm now far from you. and they don't know about the program.

my photos, you put the 3 years. you're solving at them at a blog blog, decide to the bread. the only one your suggestions or 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 brush it, i know you're immune to 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. recreate it best for him not to stay in the hospital or which envision, 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 the the good, the finding some of the process on this is quite a bit of

a sound when i deal with donald for the find the decision i'm, if i say this kind of mission, we don't the scanner. okay. you know, these kind of 14 inches, 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 for the for yes. and you also for the, for years because the was wondering to on we 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. 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. maybe they'll have money to buy them as it gets to, to come in. they'll assist us with these people with that in this. 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 no matter what? the 4 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, 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 amendment support we have once i knew support, but not the municipal i'm the man who knows that this is west. good asked me to do
