term in office his 6th this was it just to be just a few weeks ago at the end of his election campaign. i'm sure will be made it go and look inside and outside the city to see for yourself it is not interested in who will speak it is the ballot boxes that will speak. his promise to restore peace and security in chad. the country wrecked by years of violence armed rebel groups at attacking from across the libyan border more than once they reach the capital and demand that you know this latest attack began on the 11th of april election day when provisional results made him the victor debbie had gone to the front line but this time he misjudged his might. there be came to power in a coup in 1990 and was one of africa's longest serving leaders. the

son of a herdsman he had risen through the ranks of the military as president he shepherded his flock with an iron fist. a weak and divided opposition had called for a boycott of the election everyone easily with 80 percent of the vote. the opposition has long criticized he's off on a tear in room. we are dealing with a regime that has shown terrible governance and corruption. this means that young people are completely abandoned here. chad is africa's 10th biggest oil producer but many here are jobless live in poverty. instead he just spent the money on military power especially the fight against the hottest in the sahara. this made him

a key ally of the west including france that promise of stability was one of the main reasons why he was able to stay in power for so long. we've invited paul simon had the on to the program he's a senior regional advisor at the institute for security studies welcome to news africa is chad as failing or a failed state could could debby's death turn chad into africa's next in libya. because if you go to. compare it outward through. a small just their neighbors there the conditions in both countries a slightly different way where the e.s.d. quite upset surely we shouldn't forget that the media regime was contested by a crime. not really the case the belt rising in mistreated

in china but you know the great thing in media led to the creation of. non-state armed groups which did just that the regime of curfew with their strong part of eastern outdoorsy child would have a very different scene situation going to station of the regime i don't think i'm groups must always be bare independent and saw that we have never seen the scene live out of the station we for. the population that we saw in libya so what conditions the population of the city in the never know how this impression coming forward so there's a lot of uncertainty regarding mr charles chad and. talking about that feature what do you know about interest of the son who's now in charge will he be like his father. if you could just see he's not he's fine 1st of all is not

a coward either. of you said he doesn't have the same education military training that his father got in his father was and i don't know some off the wall age he never went to wally's or going you know got some meat really indication he's found a hard experience of being managing so many units each of those 10 carrier within the army probably was duped by the fact that his father was the president broadly never would have career if it wasn't the case he's not well known for having money any sneers of darkness just since then easter only mean. to eat our soul he's a bit of an unknown we don't know exactly what. he's going to vote for and he and he's only been around he what with the backing of the army the army is saying is

that it's in charge but how much is the army in control. do we usually tomboy united is the army child we know that there are predictions both within the chinese and within the class. prison followers and maybe. also in order that we question would be with prison if these are enjoying their respective of the spirit genera dual function lines might actually i mean all of them how united the army of color government or school fees are they are betting after the raid you know the model concrete but. i'll be shot for an op we don't see the hands or the we are trying to introduce the video and let. me just there are going to be $31.00. there are going to fish but i'll try to be charged and we'll see if these were terrorists how much they are in charge of the

horror of it all right that's paul simon headed from the institute for security studies thank you. and the problem in chad is climate change pastoralist can no longer raise livestock or grow enough to eat because of changing way of the in the same he added a hell take a look at this lake chad used to be one of africa's not just lakes this was its extent in the 1960 s. and this is how far the water stretches today on a chad has lost 90 percent off its surface area over recent decades here you see 1905 on the left the lake shrunk to a speck by 2014 on the right now they make the last water because off climate fluctuation irrigation and a simple human need drinking water. my next case runs radio doris on into nasional that's a radio that brought costs from jimmy that sitch and northern nigeria i'm happy to welcome to news africa david smith he is the direct copy consols hain. unity in

chad welcome to news africa we've we've just seen a snapshot of the myth rates in the chad basin at bay as the threat from terror groups one of the main problems of fixing daily life they say the main the main problem is probably the absence of state presence in many parts of the country and you mentioned lake chad you know that that's an area where there's virtually no state presence as if there's a serious problem with governance there's a lack of infrastructure there's obviously the instability that is it has been in the news for many years whether it be boko haram around the lake or rebel groups who are coming from the north. near the near the libyan border a few years ago the biggest instability spread with rebels coming from from the east from the sudanese region of darfur. there was

a list of log in development levels the chat is near the bottom of almost every development list david the military council named it to stay beside him as president and they say that he'll restore democracy but rebels say chad is not a monarchy how do you see that rivalry paid out well this rivalry is not new. rebels have been at the palace gates an intimate several occasions as the most the most serious rebel attack recent years was in 2008 when members of be zone steve the late president of his own family made it right to the gates of the presidential palace and had the french french not launched the mirages and driven them off president. what if would have left the palace probably horizontally a long time ago the son of president hu's it was a general and he has their ears had many military people in his family he's

a member of the ruling ethnic group and the guy was make up about 8 percent of the chaldean population you know part of the problem is that there's a guy always tend to fight amongst themselves that there's there's never been any clear decision within these ago ethnic groups as to who should who should be in charge so we've got this we've got this a gala conflict and then bend the rebels outside outside of those ago ethnic groups who would like to would like to take a turn at ruling the country as well david's very quickly how will the people of chad remember a interesting him he'll be remembered mainly as the man who hung on to power for far too long and didn't share it there you know there are positive elements of what he did he was very good with the environment he gave a lot of support to to protecting wildlife and natural areas in the country but he'll be remembered by most people in the country as as as the man who did

everything he could to hang on to power and was not really keen on on sharing it with members outside of his own ethnic group all right that stated smith executive director of a copy consulting thank you. it working. also coming up on the show what do you get if you put an international opera style in lockdown with the canines of cape town and an old boss beyond so is. he now fun to you you are your baritone a morning virtually stall me through theory your no are you know chargin on the stock. official that is nigeria's oil and cash cow or a coastal the country's citizens our reporter went out to the streets of los and got quite a resoundingly response to the question do you profit personally from nigeria's

huge oil wealth take a look at our very unscientific survey. i don't benefit when i drive or at all i can see how we are going to. think you're going to do so for me. i think is for. some selected feel and. that's going to throw in a yeah if you go there you know if somebody to say. no to. them live we're not really really going to fit in i think i want this it will. be generated on what are you assuming people have no faith it's all just big big group . of business don't see me believe that. now in a case that has taken 13 he is a dutch court earlier this year ruled that the nigerian subsidiary off royal dutch shell is liable for oil spills in nigeria's funny style niger delta was ordered to

clean up the area and pay the people compensation but the teen up awful goni land could take the is and the company can still appeal the ruling if it obvious fred move on went to the niger delta to speak to those affected by they give off pollution oil and gasoline this made me angry as in the hole to me this is all good news around in nigeria as all you reach niger delta but for the people even the leeches have become their cause that begins of massive oil spills an oil pollution have destroyed would tough and drive recruits disputes have heat the poorest had used some sick crime is their own. since 10 point. 0 forms are good. as well it's actually called north 1st secret so important

for those going to those homes and you can go oh. my from. he is a member of a gang that could not for ransom and attack oil pipelines so he wants to conceal his identity he blames puppet and corruption for the region's security. and one group. called listen see. from us the groups. it will cost it official says he's administration is not to blame he points the finger at the federal government. i won't deny that we have a lot of people well i deny that but it is true that they have oil and there are so much of this off oil money i still want to see but there is hope that things could not change fast it dutch court and little britain supremum court

recently ordered the oil companies share one of the companies operating in the to pay compensation cleaning up this vast area could take years even decades some experts say it's impossible the un has recorded nearly 7 call'd on spews over 2 years but i'm this international says that's number maybe 60 times higher share denies causing this pos saying they are caused by sabotage. their future on the health of the people of niger delta is at stake here is they say that they feel exhausted as by yesterday go bottles have yet brought and a significant victory to them. the impact on the environment from oil production is 0 to p.r. crossed the niger delta. did chief shows us the scale of the pollution

dark suit hands in that. he's determined to keep fighting well under and they're on to that i want to because they come bring the lunch astringent how polluted. and position paid could be billions of dora's and you could pave the way for more cases being brought against my martian or your farms in nigeria. for more on this we've invited nigeria's minister of environment onto the program dr mohammed must more of a bucket joins me from a butcher welcome to the news africa minister our correspondents whence to that and miss a village chief who is fighting pollution which is happening now in his village isn't it the case minister that things are guessing worse in the delta and not better. no i did not get in was there is current project prep hydro carbon pollution or

mediation project is supposed to be for the entire niger delta but. in one area of the land this is one of the most prominent areas currently and. the area remediation of the number of lot that was started 15 lots have been cleaned out of those $1567.00 have been satisfied in the presence of such a fusion and areas of measure to be mediated in time minister you were in ogoni land last year and you handed over several 1000 up oil sites some of them that you were referring to and on that day on one particular day you say that it was a day off a promise camps and kept to the last say in terms of standard and depth of work done but anyone in the delta knows that the stench of crude is in every way a little bit del say if it be clean again here in time however we should understand

do have. issues. with. refined the illegal refining that is going on in the forest clean in the land and so of course as. exploration is continue in. sometimes you have spins but you have an agency that is. that kind of spirit we need the cooperation of the people of that area also. lines sometimes part of the problem so really a project that needs effort of the government and the people of the area are that wise it will be difficult to. carry out when you are cleaning up and somebody is. refined. or somebody is bust in pipes somewhere and minister x. if it. had to go to datchet and british courts to get justice why couldn't they get

justice in nigeria and courts. there are pending kisses here in nigeria and court. of the case is still being hard not that they are not getting justice nigeria and just the system works just as well just sue no wood court cases sometimes it takes longer. if you have competing interest in this particular area and then minister what would be the practical difference to these foreign court decisions and what difference would they make to the lives of people in. when i'm sure if the the give some kind of compensation. to the people i would expect that when they get that it should make a difference in their lives just as the kind of. life changing

activities we provide in livelihood today people. now can support. and we've just recently handed out 6 what's our contract what 6000000000 to provide. what not even what i but what i so i would expect that the compensation from the british court decision should make a difference to the people of that area are you confident that that compensation will be given to the people of land that these oil companies will compensate the people awful tony that. if that is what the court judgment said i believe yes it should good today people if that is what the court judgment said i have mentioned it and 10 minutes we're going to be in for judgment shouldn't the nigerian government be forcing them to do that minister oh yes oh yes that's what i'm saying that once we have the full knowledge of the judgment.

the government will look into making sure. the compensation goes to the people or to the communities in question definitely yes nigeria is the world's 5th largest oil exporter when we talk about climate crisis fossil fuels already the number one culprit if we can say that. it's nigeria offering its citizens and the world really a different future. absolutely in nigeria is very big in. protection and that a mental management. in the. in d.c. is nationally determined contribution. we are the 1st country in africa to. bond green bond and that would go towards environmentally friendly project so

nigeria is not just for climate 5 for nigeria but for africa and the rest of the war and nigeria is highly committed i mean right now we are in preparation to look up to and to see fully in preparation. thank you minister that is nigeria's minister off environment jumps out of a bucket joining us from a budget thank you minister. now we all know the sound of a hound with wolf but what can't keep a good duck down well it turns out the ansari is a good bought a good brash and a good. offer actually for our from the cena. saute you see now we have this report on the canines off cape town so take a wolf. take a look. oh no.
