Is what is the single most important issue for Subsaharan Africa in 2020 definitely the spread of terrorism is health and its consequences to reform one of the regions that is growing the most which african pita should we watch and why sitting around the pool so the president gives us suffer not only because hes going to become the next African Union chair but also because of the challenges is facing economic social political and the fact that some stuff if there were much and what will be the most important election in africa this year if you. For all kinds of reasons definitely if youre name 2 countries we should pay close attention to in 2020. We should watch rudy because theyre going to have elections a robe youre going to change perceptions about the country and you should also Pay Attention to come to room because of the many problems they will say this in a year that is going to be charged with political events could they be another revolution like the kind we saw in sudan which saw on president Omar Al Bashir alstad if you spew one of the candidate is in public the country is about to implode economically things are really getting worse by this its really a candidate for some sort of major massive protests and then just will there be more visa free travel into anybody on the continent well every year we have more countries are getting to a visa free or are these on arrival regime for other africans we have already about 50 percent of the confident that theres a dear to that rule i expect more will join in france and the last one when we create more billionaires in africa in 2020 well we already have 23 and every year we have one or 2 that joined the club so i would expect yes well have a few more ok but basically you are in guineabissau out where the former Prime Minister has won decembers election of course he beat the ruling partys a candidate who says hes going to challenge the result i want to talk about give us on a 2nd but 1st we have this report we want to play for of us and then well get to that. Chris isaak oh its time to celebrate he won by following to improve peoples lives and bring about change. You davis will stop being the country you have known a Guinea Bissau where anyone does just anything it took you 3 thats over. Thats over it never again given be so will be a respected country. This is a message that resonates with his supporters but it will be a difficult promise to keep. Getting peace now is one of the poorest places in the world the majority of people live on less than 2. 00 a day. But also has a reputation for corruption and political instability in the last 6 years alone it has had 7 Prime Ministers and that been a succession of coups and attempted coups. The winning candidate is also facing another challenge the ruling partys domingos the most but it says he will contest the outcome should focus on one of the people of guineabissau out deserve to be told with certainty that something solid results which corresponds to the will expressed at the ballot box. Domingo supporters are not just disappointed theyre angry theyre not going to go to accept this result were the ones who won the elections its clear for all of us to see give us back our results were tired of the time. That is the question now is whether the new president will be able to placate these people and unify the nation as he has promised all with the king of the south could be facing more tension and volatility. But as the what all guineabissau ls prospects and its new president. Well i think the fun of easy is it depends very much on International Aid that the new elected president theres the stylists indication a. Lot of implications of the military with narco traffic in and there had a role in the elections unfortunately in yet again so people are very scary. Experience some is that really. The only way the country can really move forward is a much more we call situation and also a very clear or transformational Economic System that you have right now that it grants entity on some of the all right thats professor carl as low as thank you for talking to us and maybe lets touch base that the end of this year to see what became of some of your predictions.

Kenyan law restricts freedom of movement and for bit refugees working here this means more than 200000 refugees in the camps most of them women and children depend on ever scarcer humanitarian aid aide workers in the camp are concerned that that is being neglected and that more recent humanitarian crises is smart only the food that is affected is also or that the Program Button hole but services have to distribute Like Health ServicesNutrition Services because youre in return centers and all of them that are affected by the budget cut the international community.
