When a tory, a Leader Backer Chicago scene here in 2018, reportedly killed himself in a battle with i. Yes. Fighters, i know that i like, i dont know. But you know that its field fears that the so called islamic state is consolidating control of the insurgency. In northeastern nigeria, thats at the heart of a string of conflicts involving various extremist groups from mauro, tanya, to chad. No, there are warnings. I activities growing in the horn of africa and northern mozambique too. When they came as the global coalition against r. Yes. Met to room to discuss the resurfacing of the terror group, sometimes called dia sh. Today we began, of course with the meeting of the coalition to defeat isis. AnD What we have to do to eradicate whats left to the terrorist group. And very critically, as italy, as been emphasizing to prevent its emergence in places like like africa, the italian foreign minister wants to sharpen the focus on the continent. Democracy can provide a proposal. I proposed a working group dedicated to africa, which could identify install diane related terrorist threats on the continent. Continuing feature. At the end of the 1st impasse and meeting in 2 years, the global coalition added 3 new african countries to their ranks. And these propaganda images of form, i suppose burying the hatchet and nigeria only serve to underline the urgency of the situation. I huh.

Great, happy with us on t w. News, africa law. Thank you for being with us. Thank you for having me. Now our reports touches on the growing presence of the so called a Stomach States in africa, but id like to get your thoughts on how widespread the operations on how they are growing geographically and able to conduct these attacks. I mean, unfortunately i is so widespread today and ill cover that, you can see it across the continent. Now im not talking about countries. You are talking about countries in each of the regions. AnD When you start, for example, with the region you Region Range to give julia, i need to come in and chide, where the ice is called mix diD With Africa Probing for prius in this i held the nomics in. Greer is active and it is, its an operator in my li, new jersey, im booking are possible and hes becoming a threat now to start with african countries like Pool Ivory and guy now. And then when you go to South Africa, it is mostly actually in the Northern Region and beyond 10. And i feel it more of it is pretty widespread. And unfortunately the, the, the, the more robust is not, i didnt, i just wrote it up or i would, you know, kelly and ive been fighting in that region for long. I know they have very well the how effective will this international Task Force be to counter this threat . AnD What would this look like in practical terms . It depends on how it is out. If it grows out in the right way. Which is, i mean, in my opinion, look at the lead is actually to be to be effective priority to be content in the violent, contending the violence require my look at the lead stand on. Its not on the group that is led by looks, but that is no just technically supported by western countries. I think what its mentioned you region is not much the west presence if you look at it, but supported by that, whats been called in terms of logistics and technical support, but also in terms of the building. Now these insurgencies are driven by a number of grievances from humanitarian crises and poverty as well as the social and economic grievances as well. Could you just expand on that and explain how it is exploiting these grievances . Yes, i did. The security of what is necessity, but its got new content, the violence, it is insufficient. Why do we need to do is to tackle the Root Causes and the Root Cause is include Paula Graham and not what will be educated in many parts of africa are also this ability do this or the affiliates on the ground to exploit religion and local grievances and so you and you might think investment in Education Investment in the economy invest not job, but also, i mean was by no kind of Lead And Community lead to contact the narrative and reduce mapping all of these groups. These as one of our abilities that i expose a quote that i had, the ability like quarter borders, like, i mean, but in many parts of africa. Thats what i, what i did about 5 big war and the international community and local government behind and fortunate me with africa has all the abilities that met. Im going to spend terrorism now will be addressing the african governments anD Why theyre always has not been able to get this issue under control. What do they need to do to address better governance and tackle issues like poverty, local populations, dissatisfieD With how government are delivering democracy has workeD Well in that part of the country and it is high time, but it has started anybody. And so government, what invest in Education Infrastructure that you can any id like to spend in the relationship between the government, the government, so about what that extremist groups will not be able to exploit. Which kind of reminds is cool. Young people into violence. All right, to pull up a car t, thank you very much for your time and analysis. Thank you very much for having me.

Professor, i dont sell it. Welcome to t w. News africa. Good morning and thank you for the present age. Now its taking a long time. Kaylee, a long period of developments to get to this point. Whats your assessment of the decision by the constitutional court . There are 2 things that come from the decision in the paradoxical because on the one hand it, hes a moment of joy at ground raising moment in that is the master off the supremacy of the constitution. Then there are no flaw and it gives its courage. And encouragement that the constitution of who it is is doing its job is an anthony, glad to know that it is also moment of fitness in 2 ways. Firstly, that a person who has this country is a Struggle Veteran in those days. The principal who have to go to chain because he doesnt want to account to a commission and to the cost. The cost has moved into the political realm and the muscle has a strong support based as many people who dont believe that hes guilty. Is he able to challenge this and potentially drag it out even further . What options does he have politically and legally . Even those who support him, they do agree that he was guilty of contempt because its a simple legal test. Its lucas left with is the difference is where they should have been to send him to jail or a pension. And of course, isnt to continue to shouldnt do, to mobilize him. But he will not be able to still believe that he does. Dont have to be the 1st one is the fish, and i dont know which one is already saving time. In me approach the principle. I didnt and he must show quotation in the awesome new 2, South African spin into the introduction. If he feels that in the land has not and behaved no fully and his finally this is raised both about upholding the phone of law as you said, and tajir a former leader. But what does it tell you about the states also the african judicial system, and simply the rule of law and democracy. When he does say about today, the South African legal system is in mortal to behold. I remember when i was at harvard, some of my colleagues were complaining that they were not able to hold to the president at the time accountable because of the capitals and the team. And he, we had a system that allowed in chapter 9 institutions such as the public for to hold the principal to call. But its not just it, let me have a great constitution that his good for all seasons. We also have charges, but to take the job seriously that theyre prepared to to do the show of making findings that they know are going to say that someone in the me make them, im popular, but they do so because we do understand enough law does not hold democracy will crumble, and peace will go. We could just have winder implications for others accused of corruption across the african continent. Absolutely, it does have wider implications. I remember, for example, that when the populated South Africa was taking his job to seriously a whole lot of similar to shoes in africa, had to their own fines, strengthened and, and in things strengthened to those countries in if we look at the constitutional court, it has influenced such as quotes in kenya and tanzania. And, and i do think that this decision by the constitutional court will have seen it in a similar Snowball Effect in the country. It, it, that means that if the courts are going to do the job properly, the nation should stand up and protect the courts against any politicians who believe that they should be treated as above the law in the other.
