and africa should look like. give them i am a good provider you said in your opening statement that europe is misusing african leaders as bouncers but don't european politicians have a point when they say that both sides actually have an interest in ensuring that people who have essentially no chance of obtaining legal residence in europe don't wind up as victims of libya's law and this lawlessness or dying at sea that is correct but let's wind up let's one back if you see the situation in libya the european union signed an agreement with the libyan government nobody knows which government they are talking about there are three governments and at least one terrorist group operating in libya so how do you manage when you. agreement with such and such a chaotic situation that leads directly to this kind of slave trade this is appalling for us as africans we never thought that in the twenty first century would see an african sword such kind of image so as i hope the foreign minister of . malise said it in the europe

proud of africa pan africa you know a strong africa when you see what's happening in countries like kenya the voting process the election electoral process that that seem to have gone through great difficulties at the moment south africans and maybe does it worry you. when you see that worry me out even where is the same time for me i think the we. have the end of the bay also to be historians and to recognize that the evolution of democracy even in the areas of the world where it has been consolidated and europe and america we went through many many many stages and many events some of them very turbulent. and out of potentially destructive of them but they were on the end of the day to overcome it and in the systems of the principles and institutions that have been. very strong that it has become becomes difficult to contemplate being set aside even today in europe in the current with the populist right wing movement taking place some of those on the turn certainly antidemocratic but they're still taking place within the democratic space i think because the institutions of european the w
