Is what is the single most important issue for Subsaharan Africa in 2020 definitely the spread of terrorism. And its consequences. One of the regions that is growing the most which african he that should be watched and why. The president. Not only because it is going to become the next African Union but also because of the challenges facing economic social political and the fact that there were much. And what will be the most important election in africa this year hes here. For all kinds of reasons definitely to name 2 countries we should pay close attention to in 2020 we should watch rubi 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 it on president Omar Al Bashir alstad if you spew one of the candidate is in public the countrys about include 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 in 2020 on the continent well every year we have more countries are getting to a visa free or are these on a rival 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 1000000000 is in africa in 2020 when we already have 23. 00 and every year we have one or 2 that join the club so i would expect yes well have a few more ok but they say you are in guineabissau wave before the 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 getting dishonest taken to 1st we have this report we want to play for all of us and then well get to that. Misako its time to celebrate he won by following to improve peoples lives and bring about change. Given this will stop being the country you have known a Guinea Bissau where anyone does just anything new book you say thats over. Thats over it never again going to 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. Giving the south is one of the poorest places in the world the majority of people live on less than 2. 00 a day. It 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 an attempt to coups. The winning candidate is also facing another challenge the ruling partys domingos the most but it says he will contest the outcome as such but. One of the people of guineabissau south deserved to be told with certainty that something solid results would correspond 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. Led us to 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 key to the south could be facing more tension and volatility. But as a what all Guinea Bissau is prospects and its new president. Well i think the fun of easy is it depends very marginally professional paid that you were elected president theres the stylists indication a. Lot of the implications of the military with narco traffic in and there had a role in the elections unfortunately yet again so people are very scary. Experience some is really. The only way the country can really move forward is much more because of the asian and also a very here or transformational Economic System that you have right now the difference entity on some of the all right thats professor carl a slow 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. Its to kenya now where 200000 people live in the dadaab refugee camp it is one of the biggest such camps in the world the kenyan governments plans to close it has been postponed many times now recently humanitarian aid has been scaled back as all correspondent melanie quarrelled about reports for the refugees that that g. s that has been devastating. Right you know beans some cooking oil thats a food ration to be muhammad and her family of 9 are supposed to survive on the up another month since she fled somalia as a child almost 30 years ago who has lived as a refugee and. She says life in the camp has become even more difficult since the World Food Program reduced their food distributions because of budget cuts the agency can only afford to provide 70 percent of the recommended daily food intake. But nowhere now we are very desperate and theres no can no food at all how can we survive if we dont have food we have peace here but we dont have food to survive on and no healthcare. If people have to dabs refugee camps have been living on the threshold of imagine sea for nearly 3 decades now with humanitarian organizations struggling to provide basic services in the face of dwindling donations and funding they say their situation has consistently west of the refugees here fear the world has simply forgotten about their plight. Kenyan law restricts freedom of movement and forbids 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 afflicted is also all the other problem that people but serves his have to see just like her Services Nutrition services because youre in rotten centers and all of them that are affected by the budget cut the international community. They think may be the darbies lifestyle but obviously theyre supposed to be. In the. House. Has been holding out for a month with her baby daughter who suffer from malnutrition she needs a solution.

Melham on a well that will help them all when dying in this camp nobody is taking us anywhere i cant help myself and nobody is treating my sons illness every night we wonder if you will die or not what will you. Will be hopes shell eventually be resettled to a place where her son can be treated and to other children will have enough to eat all she wants is the life of an ordinary citizen not a refugee until then she hopes that people politicians and agencies will start remembering the people affected up again.
