on the city of sirte the cradle of the african union and he fought it with bravery and with determination until his martyrdom but of course. he lost and the libyan people according to you last right now people are talking about a possible war with iran. the european union itself refuses to recognize the democratically elected leader of venezuela i think our viewers will understand that you know there is a commonality of oil and most of all resources and all of these countries what mistakes were made say in terms of media and what should these countries be very aware of as they fight certainly the european union as far as i'm as well as concerned let alone the superpower of the middle east or rather we were very aware of internal weaknesses and khadafi was aware of the problems we had inside libya 1st of 4 libya is a revenue economy relying on oil and we did not succeed and changing the economy into a productive participatory economy after decades it was an environmental revolution didley really solar panels well we had many developmental projects and we did build many houses schools the h

most stable countries in africa for decades leading africa's liberation libya was the head of the african union the head of the african european summit one of the most important countries and developing african economic projects such as the african central bank the african organization for natural resources the african unified army the african gold based currency and look at libya now it's a battle field for extremism for tribal conflict for western asians fighting for robbing libya of its wealth ideas of freedom and liberation and sovereignty well if these allegations that were presented to populations in later countries as the reason for war were indeed false and i know the u.k. parliamentary foreign select committee in 2016 the the very high and we'll researched and well funded parliamentary committee and britain came up with many conclusions but the main ones relevant to our discussion they said 1st of all the accusations against the libyan regime were either completely invented or at least exaggerated and they said there were many chances to avoid the war and to reach a peaceful settlement

there has to be a can comment and political intervention on the part of sadek on the part of the african union to be able to place the pressure or to be able to assist zimbabwe in that political transformation that is absolutely necessary but to show why isn't the african union leading the effort to start genuine reconciliation genuine reform in zimbabwe. i think because they have seen that there is a need to to to reengage they they know that without that reengagement they could be a disturbing lation of the southern africa region if the current situation persists in zimbabwe i think also i wanted to add to what had any of say about the role of sajak particularly with regard to the call for for sanctions what what that means is that it could actually be a real threat to democracy in southern africa if a whole block of countries are standing up together without challenging. a government that has clearly breached its on a constitution that it it it's signed up to so i think that the african union have seen the need to to renegotiate it to come to the table to discuss to make sure that the count

and given the lack of free trade area at the moment that is obviously a long run goal that the african union has laid out as part of the free trade agreement but i think. trying to forecast is really impossible aren't trying to forecast in the past countries like sevier and others joining the year over the long run that's a sort of a mug's game i think get in africa we're talking probably a 58 timeline before we see a single currency coming on paper it's always great to talk here on counting the cost but he thanks again for being with us thank you. it's been a fair while since we last reported on the nation that we broadcast from so we're going to focus on cata in this next half of the show despite a blockade and the economy contracted by 1.4 percent in the 2nd quarter the country continues to embark on projects that will sustain the economy after the 2022 world cup we're going to take a look at 2 of them now the 1st is an expansion of how mad international airport to handle more than 50000000 passengers from the current 35000000 now that's in sharp contrast to dubai which is the regional av

reached its own constitution that it it signed up so i think that the african union have seen the need to to renegotiate it to come to the table to discuss to make sure that the country can move forward and to bring together to the table all of the key stakeholders and interested parties to prove to progress the country aditi of this is the problem that people say that basically they were expecting some other which is the south african development community to take over to be the one leading the answers to this and they seem to be completely disconnected in denial about the are going to the people of zimbabwe . yeah i mean it's a foreign a political analyst that has been studying static for a number of years now i would say that i don't think that i'm necessarily surprised i don't think. set it has been particularly representative on human rights issues in the region as a whole i think you know last year we saw the way in which it treated the elections of the d r c and its approach to the the sort of 2 year delay that it took for the elections to be held at the r c as as an indication

value chains and into a larger market is important and that is negotiations but this isn't the african union negotiating bilateral or multilateral that free trade agreement so i think will only add some of that's not really africa continental reach any agreement is about opening up internal trade shifting the trade focus of africa which so dominated by out would trade the rest the world's more in would trade between countries naturally the untapped potential that is going to lift the region's potential growth there in the media room now russia's president putin has recently hosted 50 african states in sochi isn't russia a bit late to the posse he couldn't really compete on investment grounds. well you have an interesting almost the range of these different conferences you had typed out a few months ago which is a japanese action and then never spoke act the chinese can last year and basically everyone wants a piece of this pa i think the cleverest states will be able to keep open investment environment and be able to settle these countries in different ways but really i think the many things

and given the lack of free trade area at the moment that is obviously a long run goal that the african union has laid out as part of the free trade agreement but i think. trying to forecast is really impossible aren't trying to forecast in the past countries like sebi or another joining the euro over the long run that's a sort of i'm not a game i think that in africa we're talking probably a 58 timeline before we see a single currency coming on paper it's always great to talk here on counting the cost but i thanks again for being with us thank you. it's been a fair while since we last reported on the nation that we broadcast from so we're going to focus on cata in this next half of the show despite a blockade and the economy contracting by 1.4 percent in the 2nd quarter the country continues to embark on projects that will sustain the economy after the 2022 world cup we're going to take a look at 2 of them now the 1st is an expansion of how mad international airport to handle more than 50000000 passengers from the current 35000000 now that's in sharp contrast to dubai which is the regional a

calling for the removal of the sanctions it's that it's that the regional body said that it's the african union are they missing the mark look there that they are doing that i don't see what they are doing that because these are supposed to be a subject day affection and all we saw is that to there was an election in south africa an election in zambia an election in tanzania and there was an election in zimbabwe itself so this is just a group of leaders as malema from south africa as a saved. guy did we can see that zimbabweans schon this much it is a lot of the day today here in nevada so clearly these are some people who all you know about the reality the top people even people understand situation the fact of the matter is that zanu p.f. has the sole responsibility and can you not only deal with any form of sanctions that you just placed on the people of zimbabwe today they have. spent a lot of money and dad have got nothing south africa has done nothing that stops and when it was he speaks well the m.d.c. alliance thank you. now this is the mosquito that carries malaria threatening millions
