00:01:55
Nigeria we'll have these stories and

00:02:06
Our top story A.F.P.

00:02:08
Reports an attack this weekend
by Boko Haram fighters on

00:02:12
a funeral in northeast Nigeria has
left 65 people dead Also Reuters

00:02:18
reports Nigeria's government has banned
the Shiite Muslim group whose followers

00:02:24
have been holding protests to demand
that Italy's of their detained leader to

00:02:29
discuss these 2 topics we have in studio
I legal Mostafa welcome to Africa news

00:02:35
tonight thank you my friend so Ali
you know Boko Haram has waged

00:02:39
a decade long in SIGINT seen northeast
Nigeria that has killed around 2700 people

00:02:45
and displaced more than 2000000 talk
to us about the latest attacks and the

00:02:50
government's response Well 1st of all
important stories that you introduce have

00:02:56
a very big to do good and military and
security implications for Niger Lisette with

00:03:01
the border situation which happened over
the weekend it is beauty Porter that this

00:03:05
was a revenge attack on Tuesday
last week a group of people in

00:03:12
a village called by to. Kind of attacked

00:03:16
a convoy of Boko Haram and killed about
11 of them and so this attack and the

00:03:22
latest one which took place on a funeral
procession. It's being viewed as

00:03:26
a revenge attack and which like you rightly
pointed out over 60 people were killed

00:03:30
the problem with this it wishing for the
government in particular it's that present

00:03:34
moment about as many months or even
prior to the election declare that

00:03:39
a book or an insurgency has been defeated
and his military chiefs have also backed

00:03:45
that statement up but the facts on the
ground and the reality that has been

00:03:49
happening shows that they swear. Still
much to do in this particular situation so

00:03:56
it's

00:03:56
a big problem for the president who is
just beginning his 2nd term in office you

00:04:00
just form his Cabinet and so it is what is
waiting to see what next he does so I'm

00:04:06
just curious the group there are reports
that splintered you know the ones to being

00:04:12
led by a book at Chicago and the Islamic
State West Africa province talk to us

00:04:18
a little about yes White
House or there's been

00:04:21
a splinter group because of the ideological
differences between the leaders because

00:04:25
some of the leadership of the group actually
want to talk to the government and sit

00:04:29
down and negotiate peace. Like you have
already order has been saying this has been

00:04:34
going on for 10 years over
$30000.00 and millions

00:04:38
a 1000000 people suffer the economy of
that part of the country which most people

00:04:42
don't understand is an international border
neighborhood Nigeria and Cameroon used

00:04:48
to be its beehive of activity is now
that it's all gone so that I do

00:04:54
a little differences on how to resolve the
situation between the leadership of the

00:04:57
group some of which are receiving aid
from ISIS directly and some of which are

00:05:02
receiving there is from places like Libya
and this Meanwhile Reuters reports

00:05:07
Nigeria's government has banned

00:05:08
a Shiite Muslim group whose followers have
been holding protests to demand that at

00:05:13
least of their detained leader Abrahams
exactly accusing the group of inciting

00:05:18
violence in fact

00:05:19
a court on Saturday granted the government
permission to label the group but

00:05:23
terrorist organizations. Could you please
I stand by how the president came out

00:05:28
quickly to make sure that the world
understands that he's not by an inch from

00:05:33
practice of religion president he's been
in the organization that they have form

00:05:37
which is called the Islamic Movement of
Nigeria. The government as well it's clear

00:05:43
that the the Shiites are becoming way too
powerful with the military groups and

00:05:47
units even with uniforms I think even

00:05:49
a national anthem and so the government
thought this was going to be something they

00:05:54
needed to take care of but the biggest
complaint has been the where the Shiites but

00:06:00
he couldn't sell it on you know political
roads and highways you know which are

00:06:05
a lot of trouble and so the general public
has been totally in support of whatever

00:06:10
the steps of the government wish to take
the little confusion we have right now is

00:06:15
that the court did order I think to give
the government the right to go ahead and

00:06:18
buy them such

00:06:20
a report that says the government has
actually banned them but so can they appeal

00:06:24
this there of course this is

00:06:26
a legal situation they can appeal that
yes that was really human stuff from the

00:06:32
away's house a service thank you
for your input thank you the U.S.

00:06:38
Government says it has imposed visa
restrictions on Nigerians believed to be linked

00:06:43
to undermining democracy in Nigeria though
they were not identified they may be

00:06:48
connected with the 21900 general elections
I can Boni at the story from Lagos.

00:06:55
Miss Morgan alter goes is the
sports person of the U.S.

00:06:58
State Department she says if it's

00:07:00
a bomb applied to do was responsible for
election related violence Mr Bagnall says

00:07:06
in general to eliminate the need the U.S.

00:07:08
Government warned about it will
consider consequences including he said

00:07:12
restrictions pointedly duals responsible
one of them I need to make your own

00:07:16
democratic process of organizing election
related violence she says in her words

00:07:22
these individuals have operated with
impunity at the expense of the make your own

00:07:26
people and undermine democratic and human
rights imagine our government has all

00:07:31
reacted to give us

00:07:32
a bomb announced by the US government but
I to quibble Rucka precision can be did

00:07:37
of your position Peoples Democratic Party
sees the action is an indication that he

00:07:42
was reaching However some like us have
been reacting to be said restrictions

00:07:47
announce might be US government
Dr Caleb it is so our lot is

00:07:51
a senior research fellow at the Institute
of African ambassador US Studies

00:07:56
University of Lagos he says that all the
years government is justified to sanction

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

00:08:06
politicians who are fraudulent or rob money
politicized them do not have backing

00:08:11
somewhere across the world to probably would
not be doing it is sorely electorally

00:08:17
Department of Political Science I believe
most of legacies business about Will Mark

00:08:22
picked like you know US relations because
it affects only individuals he says the

00:08:26
war to sanction individuals who are mainly
governors of the people in Africa I

00:08:32
think the world should for cause now Hmong
on those who want to mine the governance

00:08:37
of the people not democratic process
the process of election may produce

00:08:43
a bad or good government what is key
is forward imagine is not to undermine

00:08:49
government and not to undermine governance
of the people Yannis an aspiration. I

00:08:54
think the world should begin
to. Those who have undermined

00:09:01
governance in Africa and who have the
potential. Of democracy Dr model.

00:09:10
Professor of Economics. If. Fact
economic relations between like here

00:09:17
and the U.S.

00:09:18
Says it is important for the US
government to come up clearly on the visa

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

00:09:32
Because the. Political dispensation
in the last election need to

00:09:39
come out. Give out the possible
scenarios so that. In the next

00:09:46
general election that. I do.

00:09:53
Electoral body to prepare for the next
general elections this is Mike I'm going.

00:10:05
To sides in Sudan protesters and
the generals have already signed

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

00:10:13
a joint civilian military the ruling body
which in turn would install civilian rule

00:10:18
both sides have confirmed there will be
talks tomorrow to resolve remaining issues

00:10:23
between the 2 sides Meanwhile

00:10:25
a doctor's committee linked to the protest
movement has said 5 protesters including

00:10:31
4 students were shot dead
and several wounded at

00:10:35
a peaceful rally ensued in the city of

00:10:38
a boy the capital of North Kordofan state
today I asked our reporter in Khartoum

00:10:45
Dean to brief us on the killings
and other related matters.

00:10:53
3 in the morning. Protesting again
which is short today is high prices

00:10:59

to eyewitness soldiers wearing our.

00:11:12
Outfits in the morning and their ways
5 school students and one citizen and

00:11:19
dozens of indoors in

00:11:21
a low budget City right now people to put
through also are protesting against the

00:11:27
killing of school students and there
was very big protest everywhere so any

00:11:32
statement from the government or the
protesters no there was no if they mean from

00:11:37
the government yet but the
protest outside 7. The F.E.M.A.

00:11:43
Forces they issued

00:11:45
a written communique saying there
was people behind this varying to

00:11:51
a good honest piracy thing that the
former regime militias are doing violent

00:11:58
events to postpone the final
agreement with the T.N.C.

00:12:01
So and the 2 sides have already signed
a power sharing deal that aims to form

00:12:07
a joint civilian military ruling body which
in turn would install in civilian rule

00:12:13
now they're saying there will be talks
tomorrow talks to resolve the remaining

00:12:19
issues between Sudanese protesters and the
ruling generals what are the unresolved

00:12:25
issues here so far yes talks on the
constitutional draft will be real tomorrow

00:12:32
and they will reach

00:12:34
a final agreement after agreeing on because
situational draft which the talks will

resume talks about the government the

00:12:45
structures of the government the
needs of the ministers of the shared

00:12:52
government the talks Celtic. Day and there's
one contentious issue here which the

00:12:58
protesters keep bringing it up there
are kind of angry at the findings of

00:13:05
a probe into the June 3rd the raid on

00:13:07
a protest camp outside army
headquarters actually as there was

00:13:12
a great anger among protesters such
violent events every time like June

30 1000000 person March also there
was then people were killed in all

00:13:25
over Sudan such

00:13:27
a violent events make people divided into
2 people who say like OK we will stick

00:13:34
with the with the political and we may
feel because additional draft will be

00:13:38
discussed the final agreement will be reached
and people who are so angry and make

00:13:43
the skeleton we step by looking back at
to the streets protesting yes this makes

00:13:50
this what makes of the
history divided into 2 such

00:13:54
a violent event right now the focus of
themselves are dividing the 2 people who

00:13:59
want to wait people are angry and think
that this if you were seen too much people

Green Berets for me Jerry and soldiers
and in the genre an interpreter dead the

00:16:42

eradicate and Little says it has taken

00:16:47
advantage of the sparsely populated border
region between the 3 countries nearly 90

00:16:52
percent of i OS Yes. Attacks occur within
100 kilometers of the 3 countries borders

00:16:59
when they faced. Well they
basically relocated to other areas

00:17:05
and 3 border region is quite
porous you have forests you have

00:17:13
vast you know your character zones and so
it's been quite easy for them Q You know

00:17:20
change locations and and yeah are you
claiming responsibility probably because they

00:17:26
were associated cute apart you have to sit
back extremists have also benefited from

00:17:32
longstanding tensions between communities
in the border region those conflicts have

00:17:37
turned violent an increasing frequency
creating opportunities for militants to

00:17:42
recruit and pushing security forces to the
limit of their capabilities careen deaf

got the west Africa director of Human Rights
Watch says for many years intercom you

00:17:52
know conflicts have flared between nomadic
and I agree and groups in the region but

00:17:57
the situation has deteriorated since 2012
when militants began recruiting members

and more violence discuss says because of

00:18:09
this 1st presence of security forces and
other ethnic groups felt the need to

00:18:14
organize ethnically I like civil defense
groups and those groups have not only

00:18:19
defended their villages but as we have
seen they have gone on the offensive and

00:18:22
killed many many people who they blame for
supporting or being direct members of

00:18:29
the armed as in this groups all the while
radical preachers fanned the flames to

00:18:34
foment violence little sense they basically
endorsed the feelings of injustice and

00:18:41
discrimination and they used
these grievances kind of

00:18:46
a banner to generate the climate change
has also contributed to conflict

00:18:53
increasing competition for. Already short
supply of water and Arab oil land but it

00:18:58
is rising ethnic tensions that give
analysts the greatest concerns little added

00:19:03
right now would be extremely worrying the
fact that you just enter it and it can

00:19:09
change our. Growing and should
become the most worrying trend at

00:19:16
least in Mali Defcon agrees the lethality
and the frequency of these very

00:19:22
serious incidents is increasing at an
alarming rate and it really does appear that

00:23:25
towards the costs of sending all Marty
back to her native Somalia so she could

00:23:30
learn to be more grateful for living in the

that he was racist when he recently told
Omar and 3 other 1st time Congresswoman to

00:23:40
go back to their ancestors' countries
instead of criticizing U.S.

the spotlight right here in Washington

00:34:41
joining us now with more
details as my V.O.A.

00:34:44
Colleague when Newton sporty Greetings
Quinn. Sporty greeting Sonny the city

00:34:51
open tournaments has kicked into full gear
and fans have flocked to the Rock Creek

00:34:57
Park Tennis Center to catch

00:34:59
a glimpse of Coco golf in action she
recently joked that 3. Or 4 weeks ago no one

00:35:06
knew her name but over the weekend golf
drew in the city opened largest crowds in

00:35:11
recent memory with nearly 3000 back taters
in attendance to witness for qualifying

00:35:18
rounds on Sunday golf secured her place
in the tournaments main draw with her

00:35:23
victory over Japan's Hiroko quater and she
says any pressure to do well at the city

00:35:30
open only helped her become

00:35:32
a better player I don't really feel too
much weight on me because I'm just being

00:35:36
the best person I can be and I know that
people are looking up to me so I guess

00:35:40
that helps

00:35:40
a lot more because I know that people are
watching and I want to be I want to be

00:35:44
a good I guess for mothers or younger girls
so one day I hope that like I'm talking

00:35:51
about training feelings or my love of it
one day somebody says it well golf seems

00:35:56
to be following in the Williams
sisters footsteps last month

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

00:36:06
qualify for the tournaments and she captured
headlines when she defeated her idol

00:36:11
Venus Williams in the 1st round golf went
on to lose to eventual champion Simona

00:36:17
Halep in the 4th round however her stunning
debut garnered praise from tennis and

00:36:23
Suzy S answer Rena Williams who pointed out
the athletic similarities between golf

00:36:29
and her sister Venus following golf's
breakout appearance Serina had this to say

00:36:35
about the former number one ranked junior
there are some 15 year olds like me who

00:36:40
wouldn't know what to do
at Wimbledon then you have

00:36:44
a 15 year old like Coco who knows what
to do I think she's definitely on

00:36:49
a different level so I think she's totally
capable and ready golf success at

00:36:56
Wimbledon has jumped her from
313th to 143rd in the world

00:37:02
rankings and she. He says that has led to

00:37:06
a much busier schedule my
ranking definitely jumped up

00:37:09
a lot so I'm able to get into more
tournaments so but that's not too much of

00:37:15
a change but I think just that my ranking
being higher allows it definitely allow

00:37:19
me to play bigger tournaments well for the
time being golf will most likely be the

00:37:24
youngest player at those bigger tournament's
just as she is at the city open but

00:37:29
she says despite her age she's ready to
give 100 percent on and off the court I

00:37:36
don't really feel that much pressure
because I'm just being myself and I guess

00:37:41
myself it's

00:37:42
a good thing so I don't feel too much
pressure obviously I know that people are

00:37:46
watching but I think that I think that my
parents raised me well so I don't think

00:37:51
that I have to change the way I think if
I just continue being me then I'll be OK

00:37:55

arena in 1st round action keep your
