of these places in europe slashing the rank one step into a bold adventure the treasure map for martin globetrotters. describe it as some of us wriggled, begging sites on youtube and also the hello and welcome to another edition of the 77 percent of the show. that gives voice to app because you, i'm your host to live. so i can't imagine what it must be like to be forced out of your hometown or a country because there's a war going on or because prolonged droughts have made it impossible for people to grow crops or feed the animals. so that means that is the harsh reality of millions of people in sub saharan africa. so in this show, we'll dive deep into the causes and effects of forest migration.

coming up on the show, our straight to base takes us to the complement refugee camp in kenya to discuss new ways of managing wreckage. in homecoming, we need to identify hamilton, the woman who wants to re tell the story of sarah leon and, and cyprus, we get on the card with a refugee team trying to link the energies to best of all to africa is a continent on the move. now, some people may be moving voluntarily to do trade or to get an education or for job opportunities. it's many others don't have a choice. they leave the place they go home because it is no longer livable. over 31000000 africans live outside the country of birth, the majority stay within the african continent. so what are the reasons for leaving home and what is the current situation?

let's get a quick overview from okay to 110000000 people. that's the number of people who have been forcibly displeased worldwide by mid 2023. now, just to put it into context, that's a lot more than the population of germany. the leading causes for persecution, conflict, violence and human rights violations. disfigure includes 36400000 refugees. 62.5000000 internally displaced people. 6.1000000 asylum seekers and 5300000 people in need of international protection. there is a lot of confusion about the exec meeting and definition of these terms. so let's get to the bottom of the internally displaced persons. a person of groups of persons who has been forced old lives to see the homes as a result of the effects of conflict, violence, violations of human rights, or natural human meat to sauces,

and who are not cross ending to nationally recognize state border. refugees. refugees are people who have fled to countries to escape conflict, violence, or persecution, and as sort safety in another country. an asylum seeker is someone who's requests for centuries, has yet to be processed. people in need of protection, the need for international protection arises when a person is outside of their own country and unable to return home because they would be at risk that the country is unable or unwilling to protect them. what's the situation in africa? around 30000000 internally displaced persons refugees and asylum seekers live in africa. this makes up more than one 3rd of the world's total refugee population. millions of new displacements were recorded in the democratic republic of the congo

. if you appear central african republic, substitute done, and i, julia, treated by increasing insecurity and human rights violations, yukon to host with the largest number of refugees in africa as of 2022. so don followed, and if you appeal of to that the eastern africa in great lakes region host, most of the refugees on the continent, nearly 5000000 at the end of 2022 conflict. and so don, beginning in april 2023 displays of 2600000 people with incidents and 738000 others who fled to 2 neighboring countries by july, 2023 to the number of effort comes for us. to migrate has been rising over the last years. millions have found refuge in camps such as the cockle my refugee camp, which is located in the northwestern region of kenya. for more than 3 decades. it has been home to people, mostly from south sedan. if your pm and so miles,

yep. and the street debate, we ask, should society, we think how it deals with reference to use likely it of the money. it was granted ria access to the couple of my camp. i've had a lo so i didn't know anybody had even a long way to say it was not familiar to me. even english. i was no, no english by that time. uh since. uh, we went on uh, leaving heading to come we, we went to school and uh, we thought you were going to be for now like honestly, what are you feeling? well, if you had any of the other people around these area, we will be heading. but uh, as we went on. yeah, you know, we begun to leave because the kitchen was put on the scene for is that out and we were living, we were living like the whole. so you grew up in discount basically, but the lean your through is likely defense because you weren't able to leave the comp and then come back again to come. what can you take us through that, jenny? i've spent the last 15 years in cochran. i think you come in those 15 years, i've been able to go outside and,

and study um for my secondary education and then come back in to come. how did you get used to hearing this? what associated with you? refugee at 1st, i didn't know about that, that those that are 50, but as a grew up, i started to know that you're, if you can't have the same services given to you, like the nationals. and then again, there's this, there was the stereotype that's refugees. are cool refugees and not well educated. so growing up, i knew i could become better then you know what people are saying about refugees. so let me hear from diana briefly because you started interacting with people who are not coming from a very early age in primary school. right. so what was that like? i'm so i said it's best when we weigh. yeah. we couldn't come to that if it did come because our parents, they were very skeptical of asking direct and we did we fiji. so you would just stay at the village unless you go to school and meet them there. but we knew that that if it is would boy less because the way young children were used to be so

scared to go to the account. but after growing up after playing by the school in high school, i came to know that i refused to stop by someone like me and we, i know that the friend. so then let me come to alfred refuse one of the locals. he does gary in this community and do a very instrumental in helping can transition from an complement kind of hosting to what we had no aspiring to something more trans uh, integrated tell us a little bit about that when the war broke out didn't sound so then that was a lot of influx of revenues for themselves then and then we waited, come them, and the land was given. i mean, you know, it sad a for to communities. what was the positives? are the frame, obviously to begin staying together without their conflicts? so we took them to say that if the positions and their zones on how to stay

together out to share what they have. like what like food. like, let's say social amenities whose benefit is it? when you know the refugees, i just sort of held in one area, you've told me that you're seeing no integration of communities exchange of culture . what are we missing by not integrating costs essentially. that if you just feel like they're not permanent to yeah. so most of them being the houses of ireland sheet, you can never find them building with blocks. so like, i think we have dragging backwards because of the fact that they think that's the notes here for long. yeah. and yet that's, i'm well leave deal for even more than 20 as diana that took you late to what's the community could benefit from, from a more inclusive policy approach. let's talk about documentation for a 2nd. jacob, you've been here the longest. tell me about that process when you arrive, you obviously don't have any paperwork to see where you are and where you're from. where do you begin this document or you don't need to start it and you have to fall, then that was one that of you just said, i want to show it again and then i do,

i produced, you know, actually when we leave internet, we thought that there anything that is given to know, you know, what do you suppose we could get introduced? but the idea that we all have him know, we cannot access some of the services we did. we cannot move, was it? unless we seek for trouble? don't go out on the come. so i want to introduce you briefly. what are the challenges in not securing your documentation because i'm sure that sort of suffocates you from getting other things done. the refugee card is essential in self reliance, economic inclusion. so refugee cods, and i'll essentially very integral, i think, to the refugee community is because at the same time, i mean as much as, um, uh, we've had um, some sentiments from the host of community that that's so freelance is very important also to the host, the community also to the government of kenya in the able to come you contribute to the economy. so uh, also do you have something to say to me?

i mean, yeah, you know, integration also has to aspect these days that the, giving them uh, these the mention of ladies, no data areas. with this, we bought it from different international lucas and to add those by the menu. some people like about is about maybe in these come, easy, they've got to get to know is a government installations i need to to actually then get us in even for the government. okay. so a believe the people will accommodate and take a visual, their social economic integration because that's why i'm actually promotes that thread between these 2 communities. so they will go on with that to one, give me a chance to speak to the lead here a little bit because it must be difficult for you to hear some of the sentiments expressed by people from the hosts, community festival that have to say the whole community are very privileged because

they can tell them freely in this country without a lot of constraints, like foss refugees, they have the luxury of going to get land elsewhere. but for us, for people who have been born here lived here, we just want to have a home. yeah. and we just want to feel like we are also part of the, of the community. why not just go back home, you know, looking at a country like choose one day. it's easy to imagine, but it's as easy as picking up your bags and just taking a bus home. is it? and it's not. so going back home means a lot, especially for families where they still think of going back home. they don't know where to start from all the land, the wealth is gone, so they can go to start from scratch from their own countries. so let's now start looking at some solutions and i've been very curious. what do you think it will take for the sentiments here to be eroded completely so that the other thing stops us versus them? i know a lot of, um,

i think and use and entities are trying to really engage in desensitization was for the who's communities and for the refugee communities in, in relation to peace building and social cohesion. that's only the understanding that you know, the benefits of votes, plastic parties, and i've been granted equal opportunities. and i think that would be a good step in the right direction. you know, let's talk with a lot of this. some conflicting views. yeah. yeah. at the beginning of this debate, we us, a simple question may be, is it time for us to rethink how we deal with inclusive matos? regarding refugees? the answer is a rezoning. yes. in fact, what i'm hearing here is that it should have been done a long time ago, but thank goodness, but that's already in motion. thank you for watching. the thank you for that wonderful the page from kenya and well, can you, as discussing ways to include refugee is more economically the how and when is feel

very unclear to the discussion actually went on for half an hour. so if you want to see the entire debate, go check it out on our youtube channel. while the people either spoke to never went back to their home countries, other refugees do. just like i didn't care hamilton, she is a filmmaker who decided to move from the united states to sierra leone. her country of birth, nica and her family had to flee sarah leo. and when she was a child, what brought her back? let's hear from her piece that's holding africa back is the diaspora. and we that were born in africa and that's left the missing part of what's wrong with your countries you, it's basically a gaping hole. my name is identical hamilton. most people call me in the care. i'm a sarah leo. you an american. i am the recent. returning back to sierra leone. i am a story teller. i'm

a filmmaker. i'm the founder of 3rd culture kids production. i'm left several young when i was 5, as a refugee i moved to the gambia, where i lived for 2 years before we're settling at the age of 7 in the united states. i remember of moments i remember when the war happened. i remember like getting ready to leave and we actually left my boat in sierra leone and it was actually a interesting story because uh what was supposed to be a 30 our boat ride us, leaving from fairly own to the gambia became a 6 day ordeal at sea because we were lost at sea for 6 days. i never thought the boat ride would end in when we finally landed in gambia. it was like the 1st time i knew that everything in my life was gonna change. so when i 1st moved to the states, it was tough because whenever they heard that you were there with the union, this was during the time of the civil war and civil union. so everything was blood

diamond. oh child soldiers, yours are you a child soldier? and he said so candidly and it almost becomes a moniker that you wear on your neck. and so that was the 1st kind of time i had to grapple with my identity. i think my story of home coming started when i was 21 years old, almost 22 and it was the 1st time i returned back to 0. you then i just wanted to come back a lot more. i would come every other year or so. and it wasn't until the 2020 that i made a conscious decision to come back to several there were a number of things that inspired me to come back. i went to this event called um for could shop house. uh, the american investor for the a u. r a connor ship um quite. she gave a talk on words. why the missing piece of africa?

a piece that's holding africa. math is the diaspora. and we that were born in africa and then left. and she just gave a very moving speech. she says you for kids that are always saying, this is wrong with africa. you not know that they're missing part of what's wrong with your countries. you. it's basically a griffin, where you're from and you, it's never going to be healed unless you make an effort to reunite with your countries. at that point, i had already started my production company in new york, i registered it and i've been doing little things. and then i said, you know what, i'm going to, i'm going to figure out how to just move back. i don't know what's going to happen . i don't know if it's going to work out, but i'm just going to try. i didn't want chevrolet and to only be her be, be known as the bullet place the blood diamond place, the war place, the child soldier place. i just, i wanted to just tell

a different kind of story about sarah. oh yes, we are with you and changing the narrative. that is why we've had a number of uplifting stories from center alone, like one on the countries on the surf club. go check it out. are back to our main focus of the day. refugees. when they leave home, they can take many belongings, but what they always have with them is their culture. and traditions at the like a refugee camp in malawi, you refugees and the local community get together once a year for a one of a kind culture event. the 2 main festival select a refugee camp is home 250000 inhabitants. since 2014, the camp has hosted an annual outs event to showcase the talent and rich heritage of the people living there. the festival is known as to my email, which is swahili for hope. so because we give that because the

every one would be invited and that we were and i said, oh, what do you got to get the news? the issue uh the, uh, the the uh, the, the boot. so somebody, uh yes, the one the the, to my you, the festival was established in 2014 bytes. and so i would also known as many lab tube as land. how it was forced to leave the democratic republic of congo due to his work and political activism as the festival approaches its 10th. yeah, there is a book, the celebrations for many, it's a welcome distraction from the daily struggles. and for some young people,

the music delivers a pause to unlock meaningful opportunities. one of the things i can say the this year isn't healthy or not. last year we also had to my, i of course met a lot of new people. i found many friends and this is what healthy mall was said. i received a small amount of money which helped me pays for my school fees. my school, that's alec. our camp was established in 1994 in response to the thousands of being genocide wanda. and was in burgundy, and the d r. c to my email is found to believes that the festival has done more than just keep residence at the lack of tactful for music. it's given those in

exile a way to connect to a home rich city of brandon ro show me the version of the document, but we added these measures to my to the so hailey word to miami hope is carrying us all the way to the mediterranean island. of cyprus, the situation for many african refugees is dire. there is little political will to integrate them into society even after they have been granted asylum. joshua come, bella and his friends are channeling their frustration in

a positive way. on the basketball court. joshua come by law is a true fight to the captain of the hook, or if it's the basketball team husband fights in all his life. he fled the democratic republic of clinical due to conflict, arriving in cyprus in may 2020. why is this? even if i explained my situation to have a friend who advised that i come to cyprus just as a refuge. first i went to turkey, then entered northern cyprus, and then i crossed over into the south. what was supposed to be a new lease on life soon turned into and my to map the 17 year old was arrested by separate police and thrown into an adult present for 4 months. despite being am i know i a zip. i see a new window because me saw yeah. a little on the 1st. i was kept in the police station and in the morning i was taken to the court. i explained to them that i was

a refugee, arizona, but tara was told i had violated to lock down and cook your regulations. i'll see the progress good traffic today tried to on tele, she for finally got. it was not easy for me because i had never been in prison before all the thousands of asylum seekers full combined as root each year. the arrive installed in cyprus from turkey. once here, they must spend months at a point, not our reception center. located about 10 kilometers outside of capital and equal c a. the cum is overcrowded. sanitation is pool and access the social services limited. many of the residents here rely on donations from groups like generation for change. that's in those assess, he started a group. after witnessing the opponent,

conditions faced by refugees. so we usually get people to uh, donates, uh, close uh, food in any other things, the blankets, especially in the winter period. and then we direct and distribute these items. so the individual them to come to find something that can, uh, do you have 2 month period before you are able to really receive your benefits? and because there might be different delays when it comes to the benefits and the vision might not have access to food or hygiene, essentials or close. usually those where i live with the cap that come in contact with us and tell us about their needs. and then we try to attend to their needs and those meets a menu after repeated criticism of living conditions asked for not to come. the president of cyprus promised a more humane treatment of mike once passed the plan. the next move several young africans, a truck on this beautiful mediterranean island, unable to leave bucklin to quote, basketball health combine and his teammates,
