10:31 am
a shade, history and destiny. 510000000 square kilometers of mass. and 326000000 cubic miles of water. but nowhere is there a spot for a person like him or like have more than 100000000 people are currently displaced from the homes. one in tweet is in africa. new when abandoned their homes and is forced to no one month for for death. and this is whole city is running with him. no one who carries the income of his homeland under his breath to a foreign country. unless he is a refugee who hello and welcome to this week's african now. so what coming to you from the kenyan capital and i, rosie? which served as the central hub for refugees team from central african countries.
10:32 am
can you host some of the world's largest numbers of refugees and had some of the world's largest refugee camps in this week? so we explore the growing number of refugees on the continent. at the moment, there are some 30000000 refugees asylum seekers and internally displaced. people in africa, we ask the question, why have these numbers come about? and who is to blame? we posed our 1st difficult questions to the you and h os adam up to molest from the united nations assistance mission in somalia. thank you for joining us. why does the horn of africa have the most number of refugees? well, it is one of the most affected regions of the world. michael, i'm a change. also, the region has some of the longest lingering
10:33 am
insurrections look at somebody or you can see that there are other groups that are waging war against the government. so that also contributes to any similarity that need to live in yard froze. and why are so many refugees from for manya will. there are few drivers of population movements with the inside the country or out to the outside. and those are conflict. and so many has seen more than a fair share of complex since the collapse of the central government in 1991. and as we speak, there is a war going on here. the government,
10:34 am
fighting against the instructions and up to this, the main factor, the 1000000 for population movement across the whole of africa is glenna change. but broadly speaking, if you look at the, the bill from the indian ocean to the 2nd in west africa, this is the region that is most affected by climate change in the entire world. and this, the way you see that in these also know most of the region in the world by conflicts . how many somali refugees are they in other countries and how many internally displaced people are there in your country? well, i don't have an exact number of reviews of somebody else because if you outflows it started since the early 1900 ninety's since $991.00 to be exact. so it is hard to give you an exact figure of how many. so monday's are actually revenues in other
10:35 am
countries, some people will as far as 5000000 somebody's in other countries as to the intentionally displeased the number that we have is 3800000 people. some of them displaced most recently, and some of them have been in displace comes for extended periods of time. what can be done to deal with a situation? the 2 things need to be done concurrently. one is to provide as much assistance as possible to save as many lives as possible. we estimate that this year 22 and 3 is point 2 into 3000000. somebody's and that is almost half of the population. we need some form of the assistance of those. we
10:36 am
anticipate that 517000 children when we see nearly acutely managed, between april and this year. therefore we have the scale up humidity of the schools to save as many ways as we can. but given the fact that this is climate induce crisis, we also need some tenuously to invest more inclement adaptation and with management. and we're going to vision. and those kind of interventions require development investments that would enable the company to adapt to this rapidly in dennison, finding an affiliate in glenn, a judge. what sort of help does the united nations need in order to be able to continue to help the effect of communities? we need 2 thirds of help. we need
10:37 am
assistance that would allow us to save lives and that is mainly in for key set of health nutrition for security and water and sanitation. those are the key. it is of course that are other areas as well. so shows protection and so on. that's on the one site that's on the live saving site that the, the you in also works on development in accordance with the national glance. so the way it works in that, that is a national movement plan. and then there is a cooperation from work within the government and the united nations. and the cooperation framework is mainly to enable us to support the government if the involvement initiatives. while we see that there is some relative focus on the
10:38 am
humanitarian leaf component, we see less investment being done by the donor community on the development site. and we, we just think that to break this cycle, or in this humidity in closes, we need to much the interventions development interface. do you see an end to the crisis they see into the crisis when the end will only come? if resilience is built? if someone is enable to be a strong that build the infrastructure, do the climate adaptation and digital natural disasters hit many countries in the world. but someone is for unity leads to discuss the kinds of traffic situations we have an order number for people in need of immediate
10:39 am
assistance. so this is unsustainable and that's why the only way to end it is to invest more in the development of a country in northeastern kenya, in a semi arid district, the dob refugee complex is the world just with the g camp. it's made up of 3 refugee camps and dates back some 50 years. the 1st refugees arrived in 1991 escaping war, enabling somalia. the next big influx was 20 years later as some, all these for refuge again in the camp, from hunger and starvation. today as many as a quarter of a 1000000 people live in the dub refugee complex. from where our next report comes . it's now 3 days. we've been waiting for the flight to dive and again, the april is closed. edison william nieto was elected president of kenya. a few
10:40 am
months ago he picked up the ties between government forces. and what's the bandits in that part of the country to cross? not another 55 between the side meant that the a pool was close to flight, hurrying to the east for the country. not only is that these mostly somali refugees came to came yet fling war in the own country, only to find themselves in the midst of another conflict. bandits use the refugees as cover, moving in and rounding and laying, improvised explosive license targeting security forces. so not only to the future, you have to deal with cost camp conditions and now a conflict. but there's also clipping dropped and famine. and each day the movie t y for manya, the so called climate did not leave when there was conflict. but they know leaving and pushing wilson program to beyond its capacity, it's struggling to feed everyone and can't access the campus fire road. it could
10:41 am
have complete attack band. even cells need food. gina, thank you so much for joining us. what is the situation like at the moment? but typically with regards to the refugee camps in kenya when it comes to food distribution. look, thanks very much your interest and there is a really challenging situation with drought right across the horn of africa. we just start with the regional situation at the moment. there are 22000000 people across the one of africa who are struggling to find enough to h, including 4400000 people here in 10 young. bad as it is in kenya. and we have more than a 1000000 women and children of 5 who are severely malnourished and the native treatment is even worse somewhere else. and so what we have seen is increasing numbers of people traveling across the border from ethiopia across the border from somalia, and arriving in the refugee camps driven by a mixture of climate and conflicts,
10:42 am
draft from conflict. we've seen more than 800000 people reach the de gab refugee camp in east of the country. near the somali border and rising numbers in the other main camp in the country in chroma. refugees were refugees even before the food crisis began. specifically that group of people, how have they been affected? there have been around half a 1000000 people in kenya. so quite a long period of time displaced by really a conflicts either coming across the border from places like sudan and south sudan, or from somalia, or even ethiopia. some of those people have been living in these encampments for so long that they have families of their own and been my privilege to meet with some of them and, and to understand what it was that drove them from, from their homes. in most cases it was, it was conflict and or a lack of access to food, water and the ability to simply raise your families in peace,
10:43 am
which is something that all of us on the ultimate leg up to be able to chase try to even fly at the trash situation for refugees in kenya was quite dia, refugees in kenya. last experienced a full food ration in 2018. and depending on the availability of international food assistance funded by government around the world, then the russian has been as low as 50 percent through parts of 2021. it's incredibly difficult a choice to make working in partnership with governments and, and the international community to, to make those decisions. but we recognize that is a challenging time for the whole world. and i would like to recognize all of those international donors, international governments who have continued to step up and who continue to deliver last year, all of the top 5,
10:44 am
darnell to the world food program in kenya increased supporting this region. notwithstanding significant challenges that they may have also been addressing outside this region. western countries cannot hide from dave involvement in the refugee crisis. board. somalia was triggered by western involvement that led to the influx of somali refugees coming here to kenya. and that was back in 1992 when the us man, italian peacekeeping mission in somalia. but once started as famine relief into the mall at tamale's, do not appreciate americans wanting military operations in the country. like then again, now they want when the resources from the 12 days from a conflict they started, which came spiraled and lead to mass migration. what the and now again,
10:45 am
history is repeating itself. the, the most recent refugee crisis has again been triggered by the waste. this time they've chosen the tiny african country of wonder as a destination for thousands of refugees seeking shelter. this time from europe, most notably crane. what this means is that you can country like denmark and britain effectively, offshoring refugees and sending them thousands of miles away as human cargo. so as not to have to deal with the problem on a day by day basis. we now travel to one just to see what preparations are being made for these refugees preparations for the camp under way. and we'll do the potations was scheduled for april last year. then june. they have since been back
10:46 am
tracked due to logistical issues and opposing court battles. it started with the vin british prime minister barak johnson, announcing plans to deport illegal ukrainian refugees, to wonder. as an incentive, he pledged a 120000000 pounds to the one beat president, poor don, that it was presented at once again. you have come to the aid of the world, but left many unanswered questions. why wonder and why in africa, even ukrainians himself, i'm not happy. at not only is a wonder miles away with language and cultural barrier. the british public itself has pointed out that its government has accepted white ukrainians, and even pleaded with locals to accommodate them. while prom ones are the ones likely to be deported. so much more claiming there was no institutional racism in the system. the move has gone to a court battle, which the u. k. one. meanwhile, the wondering president continues to chase away refugees from neighboring democratic republic of congo, when a conflict between the government and in 23 rebels is under way. we can are keeping
10:47 am
house to refugees for which we are later on, held accountable in some way or even abused about refugees as a result of ethnic cleansing based in another country. and we must be a dumping ground of these people who are being deprived of their rights. but surprisingly, while ago mcclain's, his country has no capacity to have neighboring populations. he has accepted the request for ukrainian refugees. wonder now faces the same fate as the camps in kenya, with refugees being sent from the west. wonder be able to cope with the escalation, constant upkeep of refugees caused by another waste and conflict. people innocent people dying every day even while a single and different television. the different. busy listen in the news, but they didn't even take a steps to lead to the solution. i couldn't
10:48 am
tell the world to hear my voice to try their best to stop this killings of every day of innocent people. i gotta say in my, going to a well, some us municipally, the united nation, their budget. oh, a neighbors. come killing still and got to us government, not even to protect us. i guys do the, to hear my voice to says ling melinda, we are people clear to like other people. god is a creator, but do we don't like it? and we are voiceless. because they'll do,
10:49 am
i'll get to hear my voice and look at the solution of them. and when you're melinda dying, i saw kids. they dug women. they kill him and ripping on the cutting there. but is the increase of wifi chief and the decrease of budget by the united nations means that this problem will only get worse. couple that with climate change and also the increasing number of conflicts in africa. and it's clear why many people here feel desolate and disillusioned behind me. you can see they got a refugee where you can see these people just behind me. we have mo, done $100000.00 colleges. people who are still a plane from them for to 3 increases. and also we have
10:50 am
more people who don't have access to their food. they don't have access also today you want italian assistance. so they, i still need food and, or so, according to the testimonies from different people who are living around, deny, specially near obama territory and also into different areas around where there is the closest between the m 23. and are they kimberly's army, the f r d c? there is a, a very serious situation wanting some bob way washington's policy of imposing crippling sanctions on the mcgarvey government for 25 years. basically left that country in financial room by stating that the protracted demonization of zimbabwe is mainly from peter western states. he said us out of sunless zip, fred gary la military brilliance, which crumbled the much flaunted british imperialist and need to improve. of course,
10:51 am
that was because we had russia in china is our key allies in dismantling tradition . and which was a proxy to the imperialist british on this claim for historic art tribute of nationalists. sovereign is what is attracted a sustained tack on zillow and i gains him by with dimmed and emmy because of the lynn to form program was dividends have notably revived. i was about when the economy to the sham of countries will impose sanctions on us. it also created an immigration exodus that saw some 4000000 people move across the border into south africa as refugees from south africa that we bring you this next report to sanctions actually work. i the just the source of economic hardship and displacement. we came here to windsor one of the multicultural hot pods in
10:52 am
johannesburg to speak to communities of zimbabwe to ask them about whether the sanctions of the last 20 years or so have actually had a positive impact window. you are part of a movement that ality sanctions particularly and then tell me what spurred this on and what are your being you'll achieve? well, one of the things that we realize is that sanctions, we're taking a huge tolliver and bubble there were killing the economy. and by so doing, there were destroying jobs, destroying factories, destroying industry, and in the process to stabilize things. and bob will end up displacing above with in 2 neighboring countries and cetera. so one of the things that we wanted to do was to create unity 1st above it. so give awareness, just above ones is what is destroying the economy to displace people in inter trend unites above winds to try and see how we can fight discourage that is making people coming to south africa. look at
10:53 am
a neighborhood like this. i mean is full of displays, people, predominantly zim. bob wills. is this the reason why the here? because some might say is the, is the government's fault that they're here because they can make the economy work that they year because of human rights abuses there. because the thing is, sanctions are tailored to be here. weapons the supposed to destroy an economy. and after destroying the economy, they supposed to make people be divided in their own country, hate their government so that they can remove the government. so there's been a lot of propaganda put by the americans, the europeans and the united kingdom to d, campaign doesn't baldwin government to give the impression that they're the ones that are causing people to be refugees. and then what also began to happen is that in south africa itself, in the effort to try and control refugees from coming to the country, they need reasons not to give you a refugee status. and part of the reason that they accept is they accept a story that says that some bobbins can't go back home in the can go back home,
10:54 am
could they've been persecuted and only then can you get a refugee status? and that's why people have had to lie. but the reason that is bob wins have been displaced in white. they're coming here to look for iceland is because the big displaced by persecution is about. so what you're saying is that even the south african government didn't appreciate the course of this inflow of people that they'd seem to south africa, so diplomatically do they understand how to, how to defend zimbabwe, as a fellow, sadly stayed as a neighboring african country. now because sanctions are a very sophisticated weapon, even the south african government did not fully appreciate what it is that was going on christopher that and appreciate that. the thanks veterans above we were illegal, and they were a violation of human rights, and that there were destabilizing people, i mean, to stabilize in the country and killing the economy to displace refugees interest of africa. clearly, you're going to need, you know, a voice that's helping them bubbly if you will come together and cannot be solved
10:55 am
by them. bob wills alone, or is neighbors. hello. so kind of solidity, do you, do you see within zimbabwe end, outside of zimbabwe through neighboring countries? do you, do you feel legs and probably needs in order to finally get this noose around his neck? first of all, one of the reasons why we were created is that we can't expect said countries and other countries to understand plato's above one's when somebody was don't understand it on plato, we can't expect other countries to unite with us. can expect we're not to be xenophobia against bob wins when we doesn't, but when people have been divided by dissenters. so that is why one of the very 1st thing that we did and that you can see the logo here. we've got people holding hanson, and bob went to have to come together. and bob went up to begin to understand the problem. and they've got to have solidarity for themselves. sometimes african seem to even understand some bubbles plate better than some bubbles in that itself is now beginning to galvanized above winds to start tackling this elephant in the room
10:56 am
of sanctions. and the propaganda that comes with it that has been dividing this and by when people to hate each other, instead of hating the sanction centers, we're actually breaking international law and human rights. a refugee is not only and number as a refugee father in congo, once told me, my biggest dream is that my daughters go to sleep at nice. not on an empty stomach . ah ah, well that brings us to the end of this week so you can always reach out to us from one of our social media platforms. we look forward to being with you again next week until then from us. and the team here in nairobi quite harry. good bye.
10:57 am
ah ah ah ah,
10:58 am
need to come to the russian state total narrative. i've stayed as i phone and the most landscape div. mm hm. now knocking also something up for me could benefit babbling. okay, so mine is 2000 speedy, one else calls with. we will ban in the european union, the kremlin. yup. machine. the state on russia to date and split our t spoke neck. even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube and pinterest and with
10:59 am
the 2nd world war affected millions of people. during the conflict, the balance of power was held by the leaders of 3 nations. the united kingdom, the united states, and the u. s. s. a good man tried christa, keep popish normally because hitler was weak and knew he would wake and he was bluffing. he was the major political figure. certainly one of the most prominent political leaders of the 20th century where they wished to report the germans of the germans when we support the russians. and that way, let them destroy each other. there was that kind of extensive it in the west at this time. the re drawing of european borders had begun. britain and the united states, but then just really planned to attack the usaa britain to survive. russia had to
11:00 am
be sacrificed. he's as w b. i condition davis, mr. boy from us as a lot of some ricardo scuttle and mitchell knowledge of knowing that the cold war had begun with stories right now we're not here to national as the 2 main opposition parties in nigeria calling to nullify the presidential elections, stating that the only results are a sham and the people's votes have been manipulated. the head of the russian house and the central african republic, dmitri cc was injured, and an assassination attempt speaks to r t off the law enforcement publishers detail to be attack. yeah, it is the stick feel to great exposure and the yield was comparable to the yield to 40 millimeter granite investigations conducting.
