Live on the show that it was. In support of. Whats a big whats able. To be a book. This is the news africa coming up on the program extremism talks in west africa god reached the worrying a new level troops in the reason im the us i need contact terrorism drill box one of the enough this time to stop the jihadists also coming out. When we were told to shoot people we had to do it if you said no we would torture you or chill you. Theyre cool well legacy of south sudans civil war thousands of child soldiers the reports on how the un this. Trying to help some of them get over. On hes a painter by they call him mr fish because hes using his campaign against the destruction of the ocean. And youre welcome to the program. 1500 soldiers from 34 countries have been taking part in a u. S. Led counterterrorism exercise in west africa that. The growing extremist threat in the region.

And im joined now by our correspondent fred hes just come back from mauritania one of the 2 countries where the drill is taking place thanks very much for it for the time thank you for having me always a pleasure so so tell us about this terrorism exercise and how different really is it from previous ones i mean when comes to. All this shootings its not different but what was. A tree to focus on. Ordinary people in mauritania and they had to treat those. Ordinary citizens. But also there. For these people there was Something Different compared to their last ones and why is it important to then gets closer to the locals and. Because the terrorists have been new crew to people because they have no jobs they have no food they have they have nothing and its easy when someone is hungry its easy to take to take him when you promise something now that the government the intro people organizes think about ordinary people thinking about job creation and Development Activities and i think this is something that can help to Counter Terrorism ok now talking about the u. S. How can the. Leading the fight against terrorism when theyre already planning to reduce the number of their troops on the ground its very tricky question but also very interesting because when you look at the intelligence information on the u. S. About this issue in the sahara region they predict it was in the situation in the sahara region i think for me i think theyre thinking about the budget and all. That needs to be all the investment that needs to be put into this are here and they think that this is another afghanistan this is another type of iraq. Or so theyre kind of afraid thats why they want france and e. U. Members to take a mish it if so even Even African Union see of course on all hands should be on board this one but the other question is to Counter Terrorism i should say rather is on the rise even with involvement of us choose another International Troops on the ground what is happening to these groups that makes it seem like the actually getting stronger in the beginning when the terrorism started in the sahara region there these terrorist groups were walking individually individual groups but now they have been working together they started working together. Is working with the al qaeda something that had never happened before so because they have different ideologies but they have decided to put their ideology. Aside and then focus on their main cause which is to fight the governments and to make sure that there cannot govern. As the well. We can only hope because many on the continent hoping that he you and other International Musicians will come aboard and make the fight against them work out fred but we need to do the reporter thanks for your time.
