00:01:57
a have according to eyewitness That's
reporter now by Mark Dean in Khartoum on the

00:02:02
fatal shooting of protesters in Sudan
today details coming up also the u.s.

00:02:08
Government says it has imposed

00:02:09
a visa restrictions on Nigerians believed

00:02:16
Nigeria we'll have these stories and
more ahead on Africa news tonight.

00:02:27
Our top story a.f.p.

00:02:28
Reports an attack this weekend
by Boko Haram fighters on

00:02:32
a funeral in northeast Nigeria has
left 65 people dead Also Reuters

00:02:39
reports Nigeria's government has banned
the Shiite Muslim group whose followers

00:02:45
have been holding protests to demand
that Italy's of their detained leader to

00:02:50
discuss these 2 topics we have in studio
I legal Mostafa welcome to Africa news

00:02:55
tonight thank you my friend so Ali
you know Boko Haram has waged

00:03:00
a decade long in sigint seen northeast
Nigeria that has killed around 2700 people

00:03:06
and displaced more than 2000000 talk
to us about the latest attacks and the

00:03:11
government's response Well 1st of all
important stories that you introduce have

00:03:16
a very big to do good and military and
security implications for Niger Innis that

00:03:21
with the border situation which happened
over the weekend it is Beary Porter that

00:03:26
this was a revenge attack
on Tuesday last week

00:03:31
a group of people in

00:03:33
a village called by to. Kind of attack
convoy Boko Haram and killed about 11 of

00:03:39
them and so this attack and the
latest one which took place on

00:03:44
a funeral procession. It's being viewed as

00:03:46
a revenge attack and which like you rightly
pointed out over 60 people were killed

00:03:51
the problem with this situation for the
government in particular it's that present

00:03:55
moment about as many months or even
prior to the election declare that

00:04:00
a book or an insurgency has been defeated
and his military chiefs have also backed

00:04:05
that statement up but the facts on the
ground and the reality that has been

00:04:10
happening shows that I swear. Still much
to do in this particular situation so it's

00:04:17
a big problem for the president who is
just beginning his 2nd term in office you

00:04:21
just form his Cabinet and so it is the what
is what interests me what next he does

00:04:26
so I'm just curious the group there are
reports that splintered you know the

00:04:32
once a being led by a book or

00:04:34
a Chicago and the Islamic State
West Africa province talk to us

00:04:39
a little about yes book
White House or there's been

00:04:42
a splinter group because of the ideological
differences between the leaders because

00:04:46
some of the leadership of the group actually
want to talk to the government and sit

00:04:50
down and negotiate peace. Like you have
already order has been saying this has been

00:04:54
going on for 10 years over
$30000.00 and millions

00:04:59
a 1000000 people suffer the economy of
that part of the country which most people

00:05:03
don't understand is an international border
neighborhood Nigeria and Cameroon used

00:05:08
to be its beehive of activity is
now that is all gone so that. I do

00:05:15
a little differences on how to resolve the
situation between the leadership of the

00:05:18
group some of which are receiving aid
from ISIS directly and some of which are

00:05:22
receiving from places like Libya and
this Meanwhile Reuters reports Nigeria's

00:05:28
government has banned

00:05:29
a Shiite Muslim group whose followers
have been holding protests to demand the

00:05:33
release of their detained leader Abrahams
exactly accusing the group of inciting

00:05:38
violence in fact

00:05:39
a court on Saturday granted the government
permission to label the group but

00:05:44
terrorist organizations. Could you briefed
on the how the president came out

00:05:49
quickly to make sure that the world
understands that he's not by an inch from

00:05:54
practice of religion per se he's been in
the organization that they have form which

00:05:58
is called the so I make moves mentor Nigeria.
The governor as well as Clinton that

00:06:03
the the she I said look I'm in way too
powerful with military groups and units even

00:06:09
with uniforms I think even national anthem
and so the government thought this was

00:06:13
going to be something they needed to take
care of but the biggest complaint has

00:06:17
been the way the Shiites but he killed
himself and you know political roads

00:06:24
and highways you know which are

00:06:26
a lot of trouble and so the general public
has been totally supportive whatever the

00:06:31
steps of the government wish to take the
little confusion we have right now is that

00:06:36
the court did order they did give the
government the right to go ahead and buy them

00:06:40
that's such

00:06:40
a report that says the government has
actually banned them but can they appeal this

00:06:46
there of course this is

00:06:47
a legal situation they can appeal that
yes that was really human stuff from the

00:06:52
always houses Service thank you for
your input thank you. The u.s.

00:06:59
Government says it has imposed

00:07:00
a visa restrictions on Nigerians believed
to be linked to undermining democracy in

00:07:05
Nigeria though they were not identified
they may be connected with the 21000

00:07:10
general elections Mike and Bony at the
story from Lagos. Mismo them up her goes

00:07:17
is a sports specimen the u.s.

00:07:19
State Department she says if it's

00:07:21
a bomb applied to do responsible for election
related violence this article says in

00:07:27
general to eliminate any u.s.

00:07:29
Government warned about it to consider
consequences including present restrictions

00:07:34
point of view duals responsible one might
need to make your own democratic process

00:07:38
of organizing election related violence
she says in her words these individuals

00:07:44
have

00:07:44
a pretty good impunity at the expense of the
make your own people and undermine democratic

00:07:49
and human rights to make an
argument as well reacted to give us

00:07:53
a bomb and I'll buy the us
government but I'd say quite

00:07:56
a rocket precision can be that of your
position Peoples Democratic Party sees the

00:08:00
action is an indication that he was
reaching However some like us have been

00:08:06
reacting to be said restrictions announced
by the us government but the Kaleb it is

00:08:11
so our law is

00:08:12
a senior research fellow at the Institute
of African and bass for us Studies

00:08:16
University of Lagos he says the Lord the
us government is justified to sanction

00:08:21
area individuals or politicians the action
may not send warning signals if these

00:08:27
politicians who are fraudulent or are
robbed money politicized and do not have

00:08:32
backing somewhere across the world there
probably will not be doing and is sorely

00:08:37
electorally Department of Political Science
I leave most of legacies Davis about it

00:08:42
will not make make your u.s.

00:08:43
Relations because it affects only
individuals he says the war to sanction

00:08:49
individuals who are mainly governance of
the people in Africa I think the world

00:08:53
should for cause now Hmong on those who
want to mine the governance of the people

00:08:58
not democratic process the
process of election may produce

00:09:04
a bad or good government what is key is
forward imagine is nuts to undermine

00:09:10
government and not to undermine governance
of the people Yannis an aspiration. I

00:09:15
think the world should begin to
true. Those who have undermined

00:09:22
governance in Africa and who have the
potential to do so but those who says of them

00:09:28
Chrissie Dr. An associate
professor of economics. If.

00:09:36
Fact economic relations
between my gear and the u.s.

00:09:39
Says it is important for the us
government to come up clearly on the visa

00:09:43
restrictions to. Prepare for the 23
elections the government is not happy.

00:09:53
Because the. Political dispensation
in the last election need to

00:10:00
come out. Give out the possible
scenarios so that. In the next

00:10:06
generalisation that. People's.

00:10:14
Electoral body to prepare for the next
general elections this is Michael going.

00:10:26
To sides in Sudan protesters and
the generals have already signed

00:10:31
a power sharing deal that aims to form

00:10:33
a joint civilian military the ruling body
which in turn would install civilian rule

00:10:39
both sides have confirmed there will be
talks tomorrow to resolve remaining issues

00:10:44
between the 2 sides Meanwhile

00:10:46
a doctor's committee linked to the protest
movement has said 5 protesters including

00:10:52
4 students were shot dead
and several wounded at

00:10:56
a peaceful rally in Sudanese city of

00:10:59
a boy the capital of North Kordofan state
today I asked our reporter in Khartoum

00:11:06
Dean to brief us on the killings
and other related matters.

00:11:13
3 in the morning. Protesting
against short today's high prices

00:11:19
incredibly high prices of everything the
bread was what the shortages they were

00:11:26

to eyewitness soldiers wearing our.

00:11:33
Outfits in the morning and their ways
5 school students and one citizen and

00:11:40
dozens of injuries in

00:11:42
a low budget City right now people in
coastal also are protesting against the

00:11:48
killing of school students and there
was very big protest everywhere so any

00:11:53
statement from the government or the
protesters no there was no it mean from the

00:11:58
government yet but the
protest outside. The f.c.s.

00:12:03
Forces they issued

00:12:06
a written communique saying there
was people behind this varying to

00:12:12
a good purpose by receipt saying that the
former regime militia are doing violent

00:12:18
events to postpone the final
agreement with the t.n.c.

00:12:22
So on the 2 sides have already signed

00:12:25
a power sharing deal that aims to form of
joint civilian military ruling body which

00:12:31
in turn would install in civilian rule
now they're saying there will be talks

00:12:36

issues between Sudanese protesters and the

00:12:43
ruling generals what are the unresolved
issues here so far yes talks on the can

00:12:49
secure shall drop will be real
on tomorrow and they will reach

00:12:55
a final agreement after agreeing on the
constitutional draft which the talks will

resume talks about the government the

00:13:06
structures of the government the
needs of the ministers the shared

00:13:12
government the talks posted. Today and
there's one contentious issue here which the

protesters keep bringing it up there
are kind of angry at the findings of

00:13:25
a probe into the June 3rd the raid on

time like June 30 1000000 person

00:13:41

were killed in all over Sudan such

00:13:48

with the with the political I remit and
still because additional draft will be

and people who are so angry and make

00:14:04
a skeleton we step by would be involved
getting the streets protesting yes this

00:14:10

history divided into 2 such

00:14:14
a violent event right now for the purpose
of themselves are divided into 2 people

ethnically I like civil defense groups
and those groups have not only defended

have gone on the offensive and killed many

old American player Coco go off is in
the spotlight right here in Washington

00:35:02
joining us now with more
details as my v.o.a.

00:35:05
Colleague when Newton sporty greetings.
Sporty greeting Sunny the city

00:35:12
open tournaments has kicked into full gear
and fans have flocked to the Rock Creek

00:35:17
Park Tennis Center to catch

00:35:19
a glimpse of Coco golf in action she
recently joked that 3. Or 4 weeks ago no one

00:35:26
knew her name but over the weekend golf
drew in the city opened largest crowds in

00:35:32
recent memory with nearly 3000 back taters
in attendance to witness her qualifying

00:35:39
rounds on Sunday golf secured her place
in the tournaments main draw with her

00:35:44
victory over Japan's Hiroko quater and she
says any pressure to do well at the city

00:35:50
open only helped her become

00:35:53
a better player I don't really feel too
much weight on me because I'm just being

00:35:57
the best person I can be and I know that
people are looking up to me so I guess

00:36:00
that helps

00:36:01
a lot more because I know that people are
watching and I want to be I want to be

00:36:05
a good I guess the mother of your younger
girls so one day I hope that like I'm

00:36:11
talking about training feelings or my love
of it one day somebody says it well golf

00:36:16
seems to be following in the Williams
sisters footsteps last month

00:36:20
a 15 year old made history add Wimbledon
as the youngest player in the Open era to

00:36:26
qualify for the tournaments and she captured
headlines when she defeated her idol

00:36:32
Venus Williams in the 1st round golf went
on to lose to eventual champion Simona

00:36:38
Halep in the 4th round however her stunning
debut garnered praise from tennis and

00:36:44
Susie s and Serena Williams who pointed out
the athletic similarities between golf

00:36:50
and her sister Venus following golf's
breakout appearance Farina had this to say

00:36:56
about the former number one ranked Jr
There are some 15 year olds like me who

00:37:01
wouldn't know what to do
at Wimbledon then you have

00:37:05
a 15 year old like Coco who knows what
to do I think she's definitely on

00:37:10
a different level so I think she's totally
capable and ready golf success at

00:37:17
Wimbledon has jumped her from
313th to 143rd in the world

00:37:23
rankings and she. He says that has led to

00:37:26
a much busier schedule my
ranking definitely jumped up

00:37:30
a lot so I'm able to get into more
tournaments so but that's not too much of

00:37:35
a change but I think just that my ranking
being higher it allows it definitely

00:37:40
allow me to play bigger tournaments well
for the time being golf will most likely

00:37:44
be the youngest player at those bigger
tournament's just as she is at the city open

00:37:50
but she says despite her age she's ready
to give 100 percent on and off the

00:37:56
court I don't really feel that much pressure
because I'm just being myself and I

00:38:01
guess myself it's

00:38:02
a good thing so I don't feel too much
pressure obviously I know that people are

00:38:07
watching but I think that I think that my
parents raised me well so I don't think

00:38:11
that I have to change the way I think if
I just continue being me then I'll be Ok

00:38:16
On Tuesday Goff is set to face Kazakhstan's
arena in 1st round action keep your
