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. 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 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 after to come back. and i feel bad. and the grease out of 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, perfect, the boss of an infinity to come back to be shown in the blood stream is the actually in the, in the going to me z. i'm sorry. but actually many people now all over the world are supporting me, may be more think that the bus, the, the home should be the grand do museum. a not 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 are 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 remind me story to be taken out of the ship at hearts 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 that is this the book that everyone can see here. all a number and a statute made of gibson. in 1913 that event dick with this last finch came to make the division 5050. you found that they bought

a box containing 100. it's a lot of facts. and if a t p was hit, the inside, it never looked inside the box and bar hottest to the statute. and he hired it in his home for the muse until he showed it. i think 1945 added to the americans who are the big thing. they should have been bane think that i deleted the egypt 330 me back because this was the only about tape 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 the live boss to lift the egypt illegally. what you are telling me it's a little as old. 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 of your petition? it this petition has been analysis fits 3 days ago. right. and i'm waiting. i have to note that we sent maybe in 2010, and the official letter from that zip send government approved by the prime minister. but it took me 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 book fair to have a story and odds fact and you museum doctor was clarify something for me. we understand that you were having people sign a petition on your personal website. why is it on your site 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 the zip codes and government support think my uh, my uh, campaign to a, to restore the lot of fax back to dfcs. i'm not asking for all the other fax to

come back from barely. and 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 we set in stone 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 is you have some identity that's your deck for sticking by of friendship thief deducted from the feeling of the timber of done that all. or is it the best or different dates you were thinking? how would you 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, 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 it fused 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 and former antiquities minister doctors how he,

how was many thanks, i give 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 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 funny for shar, report from nigeria as capital the russian consulate, you know, boucher here in nigeria as capital locals are queuing 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 law system. why do 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 his people putting their hopes in rock shot or 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 in good 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 that wasn't my safe anymore. oh, yeah. jumping, there's nothing to keep him in nigeria, the job opportunities here is very, very not encouraging the inflation even if you get each of these payments,

you can sustain yourself with it. so i said to myself, do everything to 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 faithful by russia, except for the flight c sense. this quote actually 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, 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 called me yesterday. we give you scholarship, jane, minute minutes for you, you know, if possible, you give us the support of cause. it was that this update on mission and interest. so the interest of poor thing is we need more people to come to russia, help us achieve or goal in, in war or any kind of me. kingsley speaks no russian, the source of information, social media, and the nigerian 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 it with kingston. he is good. 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's because that wasn't my main will to come into the country. mine will to these, to come started for my my stuff basically 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 to for various pragmatic 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 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 classic 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 2 story. it's not an entirely new phenomenon. of course, the 10s of thousands of africans are studying in 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 russian ukraine is pushing actually, or it is turning the, the, the for

a political environment that watches in inter, an isolated situation. russia is very much in need to look towards the global cells and also to look at nigeria and trying to use this still felt 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? or we have heard about this reports that allegedly nigerians, but also students from other african countries, allegedly, the faults to fight or uh, cool, 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 an 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 there's a ton patient or so 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 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,

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's a saying, if you have influence over the jury, yet you certainly have influence in many parts of the continent. but we need to look at numbers to this a bit because currently when it comes to trade and economy rush is literally only a foot note here in nigeria, the biggest trick partners often a jury. china are 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 and uh,

jerry, uh, what that means looking full, but especially when it comes to the question of security. now, julia, just next to many other countries in the saw the region, 14 o 4. as soon as you armada is facing insurgency, terrorism, and all these countries of just mention the old to interrupt your full helps. 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 we have seen for the very 1st time nigeria and some of the julians waving russian flags. now this has nothing to eat or estimated, but was certainly shouldn't under estimate russia still power tool. and that goes way beyond just offering some scholarships right now, julia has been target the various russian propaganda and this information contains . i'm here is depressed and just looking ahead into the future, what russia is is true trying to do in terms of setting up the big off foot step internet jerry off as this country is completely out across the roads. we've got to it's economy, but also politics and

a the entire secure issue 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 doctor george booley has been commuting to remote villages in cameroon, on weekends, providing critical health care, free of charge to poor community use. blaze young, recently a company boy 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 way. i may have given you access to our surgeon walk in the only

central office we thought we had a suspicion of of like here named escal him a group of young people on the summary said look, don't mix, i will create the team, will leave you only ever, we can set up a demo by hospital and if you teach during the said to this of treatment, we receive all the population of the, the on the privilege people of the few days and give them free health services. very surrender surgery. so we are 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 the 190. and the vision going to meet these because some of them are in there from now from you. and they don't know about the

program. my photos you for 3 years, you're having them in broad, broad decide to the bread. the only one you're suggesting, blah, blah, and he wasn't even submit to 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 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 this 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, through them the even while i did class good the finding some of the process on the support that they found while i deal with donald for the find

the anastasia, i'm, if i say this kind of mission without this kind of, okay, show me that he's kind of 14 and they stay with 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 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 fee in the area with the people that they want to go to the hospital.

but they don't have money to buy them education to come in those people for the, for 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 p. m? 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 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,
