me to bring you the story behind the news. we ruled about unbiased information for 3 months. the . this is dw news advocate coming up on the program as european countries tried to risk direct migration from africa. all they also could badly funding human rights abuses. and a new investigation says you funded operations of moving migrants on mass and dumping them in dangerous border areas in the sahara. with all the funds from europe and inviting some africans to take up much needed jobs. we meet some prospects in kenya, i'm the president of the democratic republic of congo. finally, a points and new cabinets. find out what this means. all the country and the

nigerian act uh hoping to prove down to is wrong about want to see can achieve living with albinism the don't totally. alrighty. boy, it's good to have you with us. the european union is spending hundreds of millions of euro is in africa to cub irregular migration. part of the scheme involves working with african governments to stop the migrants be full of a set off. but a new investigation published by the news consortium. lighthouse report says these deals are actually causing home. the report accuses the use of being complicit in human rights abuses on the cove, but mass expulsion of migrants often dumping them in remote and dangerous border areas in the sahara desert. forced onto buses and trucks and driven from the north

african coast line into the desert. the light ties reports investigation says migrants are being dumped with dog food and water. and the vehicle is the e you paid for being used to do, it won't use response was defensive. so our national partners remain silver in states and they continue to be in control of their national forces. by the way, they also agreed to co operate on the basis of the respect for international and human rights. this is what we're trying to work for, and this is why we would remain engaged on the ground. in the past year, the you had signed corporation deals with hundreds of millions of yours with neural coaching, nivia, egypt, mauritania, and others, partly aimed at getting them to hold to migration into your rights group, say the deals, go against your episode. and values is this deals is empowering, repressive regimes that are in head and see on a stable it's under mine is integration between africa because he didn't lucidity between north african countries on supplier and african countries as well beyond

this, it sadly food and a lot of funds, you know, for be a, it's food and a lot of enter black. and the decisions that we have been seeing. the question is whether the use deals even was to close off the routes for african coast on the textbook like alberto horse night hot se, they on stopping departures and other than completely ceiling the board is of that you at preventing altogether, eh, they go to immigration, often times the director flows elsewhere, the remain 6 main routes of migration into the u. d. u has be stuff is protocol and presidents on the land routes causing a dropping arrivals that are over the past 2 years. but the number of people using the series from africa has risen dramatically again, especially on the most dangerous route from west africa across the atlantic to spain's canary islands. the u is known to once assign further deals with all the

african states, which include close is allowing it to send people back corporation on return, taking back the nation as is one of the most controversial and divisive domestic issues for these governments. so in defense likely they will ask for something back from the you, which can be politically, can be financial. over 380000 people enter the u on the smugglers roots last year. and the percentage of them coming from sub saharan africa is increasing significantly every year. i speak now to andre, probably to an investigative journalist who was part of the team that produced the report for lighthouse reports. welcome to the program and re what stood out for you in the investigation as well. there's 2 things. i think 1st the scale estimate already given the operations and all 3 countries was really jar and you have hundreds and hundreds of people bus every week out to desert or during remote

areas. and pretty much similarity happens in all countries under similar operations . and then you have collaboration even between the countries. for example, dom rocky occupied west as a har, i'll just buses arriving there. and then there are 100 out to the martine and that's ortiz. and then secondly, i think is also the involvement of the spanish officers in virginia. and they're, they're pretty much both steps of the operation from supporting the with equipment and bodes helicopters and intelligence. and even the officers being involved in c intersections and the rates to actually have access to the center is entering the centers and taking photos and videos of the people detained. and then eventually receiving midst of the parties. so this is active involvement is not the case where they funding a project and say they don't know what happened on the ground. exactly. yeah, there's presents, there's knowledge and people know about it. they're involved in it. in your report,

you mentioned systematic racial profiling. can you provide examples or testimonies that highlights the nature of this profile? they of course. so we've actually dozens of people who are black skinned, dark skinned in morocco and mortgage area, who told us that if they didn't speak arabic or the arabic dialect of each country to get thrown into a bus, immediately detained and dumped without any due process or any opportunity to challenge that detention or arrest some said they even had a residence department, so they were legally in these countries and were not given the opportunity to source those uh permits and show them to the police. but i think the most revealing case and emblematic case of profiling is the case of the american citizen timothy huts who was present in morocco. he stepped out of the of his hair again b to run some errands and think it was stopped, arrested and dumped in a remote area in bronco. even though he was american,

he was legally in the country. he didn't have his passport on him, so they just chose to dump him because he wasn't speaking rock and arabic dialect. and i think his case shows that it's, it's not about the legal status of the people in the country, but it is about using racial profiling to arbitrary arrest people. and sometimes if they are black and what are the effects of these operations on the, to the local people, for example, mauritania, as well, everyone knows about these operations. when you go to people, no matter where on the street, everyone is aware that there's buses going around or asking people if you don't have your papers, us being deported to money or to send a go i think last year result, we'd also have the highest numbers of retaining, we think the country to euro, but also a lot of them to the us. and we heard of cases where weren't any of this, where i think this has been and been detained, intercepted by both. um,

they are detained as a way to be there and scared them from trying again. but they're still released because uh, yeah, and they might face legal challenges, but otherwise the merchant and actually are not subject to just dumps. and what are the governments saying, both the european countries implicated in your reports, but also the african governments that partners, what are they saying response to your findings or so to ease uh uh, knowledge um that last summer and that you will notice that needs that was indeed, dumping people at the borders, they said it was not them funding these operations and they have nothing to do with them. even though they did close a deal, a migration deal, a $100000000.00 with the cheese and government. we actually found the cars gifted by rotating countries to trainees that were being using these operations. and we managed to verify that we contract on visual evidence as for brooklyn were retained

and we obtained a united c. r from takes european from barnum and documents addressed to the commission in which they explicitly say and describe the operations and show a concern about the operation is we also have inside sources and the who told us they are indeed aware of the operations. and yeah, as i said, they're merging on the spanish for present they're, they have this, the officer stationed the country, and they directly funded the institution and with that detention center that does use these operations right. we'll leave at the andre pope of a to thank you very much for speaking to us. and we reached out to the european commission for homeless as evo, hampton, and all the commission is to ask what they had to say about the accusations. but they were not willing to answer questions at this point in time. now they use collaborations with african countries,

a stem from why the plans to cops the inflow of the regular migration. but at the same time, europe does have a shortage of work. as jim, the, for example, needs over 200000 people to fill the gap over the next 2 years is reaching out to foreign workers, including kenyans, the drummond transfer the actual was in kenya last year to discuss the plans with president william, brutal, the thoughts on faith as germany would like to offer more organized and legal ways for all those who want to work in germany one. and at the same time, we want to put a whole to a regular migration. just as i know, been viewing so would create a win win situation for all countries involved with using and can we see great potential for skilled labor from? can you orderly migrating into all kinds of parts of our economy? as expected, the deal will be signed later this year and some kenyans already preparing to take up jobs in germany, dw felix the ring mets,

to hopefully in the canyon town of home i. b v. d 2, he never would really sent it to, you know, is training to be a bus driver. she's one of a handful of can, is taking passing up. i look projects hoping to get a job in gemini in about 8 weeks she expects to be licensed and walk in slants, bug in the notes of the country. thank you so much. stacy and sunday has been driving buses for local school for the last 14 years. but he has to retrain as your driving license is not recognizing gemini, that's in a decent that they use wouldn't. bureaucratic had those faced by people coming to

europe? he sees he's been dreaming of walking into money for the past 10 years, and he's well aware that there will be other challenges i've heard about this is i'm in german, or i think the a lot of blacks in gemini and being the, it won't affect me so much because i have to adapt to that situation. yeah. and i'm ready for that. yeah. my name's incoming bus drivers. have also been picking up some vital skills that each of these more to ease than just language. part of the things we've talked about and let them know that this deeply noted seems like i believe i, we're supposed to be very careful. so are you how confident not in the german language alone, but also in how to cut it themselves while they're even the culture as of the jump months, the food stamps that you know, the clothes being made for. we expect

a lot of winter there. gemini needs kids to walk as and it's turning to countries like kenya to help agencies like solution who are writing this project, try and set the stage for a seamless transition into german society. oh, we do the, the visa appointments at the german embassy and i o. b. we do from the german side, german government. it's a site the preparations. so they get a quick visa and the company in german. and the best company is taking care of the accommodation in germany for the 1st year. so they come to germany, they have a house where they can move in, they can be there and they can take your living, at least for a year. and that helps with the sticky and sunday is optimistic about what the hands go. my hope is that i get a good day once again, vitamins, i get a good colleagues that i can work with be yes. and also to get something to help me instead of the people who i didn't need to send it and really sense have no signs.

they have contracts and are looking forward to the new opportunity for them and their families. you're watching dw, you use africa still to come or previously rejected from films for being. i'll be no one major and access defies stigma in his quest for stardom audit. and we'd meet the congolese band making jams from junk found in the streets of can shasta and staying in the democratic republic of congo, president felix just a katy has finally appointed a new cabinet. so this ends months of uncertainty following his re election in december. the announcement comes less than 2 weeks after the country's military and said it had boiled and attempted cool, which on demand entered the president's office in the capital kinshasa. the archie

is also grappling with several armed conflicts, including in the mineral rich east of the country, where the powerful m. 23 group remains a threats. these are among the major challenges felix just a katie faces as he begins his 2nd to in office. i'm joined now by jason stands of the congo research group. he's covered and written extensively on the situation and the democratic republic of congo. jason, it's good to have you on the program. now can you begin by explaining why it took so long for presidential security to form on government as well to secure he has one large burden to carry, which is the fact that he is the head of a very broad, sprawling coalition. and so in order to form a government, he has and consults all the members east collision and there's quite

a bit of horse trading involved in that. and so it took him several months. the election obviously results were declared in january and now we're at the end of may as a reminder 2019 when he 1st what, what is the 1st election? it took even longer. it took 8 months to get a government. so in comparison with the last time, this problem is actually quite fast. and this comes off the back of this attempted coup we saw last week. what should we make of those events? suitable to know it was a bizarre occurrence. it was a clue that did not target the head of state or these and targeted 1st and foremost what it was me, clothes and partners. and then they went to his office to get these office instead of the place where he usually is and where he was that night. and so it was, it was bizarre and many levels. it was fairly, it seems to be fairly incompetence. lead carried out. but i think it's

a lot of questions we don't know yet, or we have no answers to, yet it seems likely that there was some sort of outside support and perhaps even promises made from within the security services that didn't materialize. and so there's a lot of unanswered questions that hopefully will find answers to in the coming weeks. right. and speaking of instability is the east of the country with the myriad of i'm groups. there's any hope that this government, this new government can make progress in that regard and, and, and resolving the issues that as well it's, it's difficult to say, i think the security has an uphill battle in the east. there are 7000000 people displaced. there's a 100 different armed groups. of course, the most important one who's on groups at the moment is the m 23 that has grown in territory dramatically over the coming up over the past months since it 1st

emerged in 2021. and so there's been many, many challenges. i think the 1st challenge is probably how to confront the m 23. in order to do that. i think he really needs, given the weakness of his own security services. there's really no other way of doing that other than going through the international community and it's in his external partners. and so i think the position of foreign minister is extremely important in this new government before and minister is somebody who comes from the outside of the d r. c, who spent most of her life in the diaspora. and so she can see how she performs in that role. and i think as a reminder, the key i think really is how to engage with rhonda which is set some $3.00 to $4000.00 special forces to buy the m $23.00 rebellion and the relations with roland . as donors are honest, main backers of the united states, u k, in france. and while the united states has been quite critical of rwanda that you can for us have not, since i think the coming months will be particularly important. how it is katie is able to leverage those extra real relationships in order to get greater purchased.

i would say in the go, she asians with rhonda and jason just looking at a at present just look at his 1st. um, can we tell what his 2nd term will look like it's it's difficult to say, i think, i mean he's promised many things is 1st time just flagship. i mean, other than the things that outside is most here about, which is the conflict of people in the d r c, i think he has his flagship program was free primary education in the d r c. and i think he hopes to build them that he's talked a lot about free uh, health care, especially pre maternal health care. and he's already started rolling that out. and so i think that is likely to be one of his flagship programs. he is trying to leverage the norm as well. they could come from natural resources calling was the largest producer of copper in africa next largest producer of co boss in the world

. and so he's trying to leverage those natural resources in particular, are struggling with a weak copper price at the moment, but still he has a much larger budget than many of his predecessors had. and so i think the question is how he's going to use a lot of that money at the moment goes to defense and security. and so i think it's, it's a question really, to what extent he can free himself from the norm as burden that conflicts has, of course, on the population, but also in his budget to be able to start doing the things that population expects of him infrastructure jobs health and education i think are probably as large as far as jason's terms of the congo research group. we appreciate your insights. thank you for coming to us. thank you. now let's talk about albinism genetic condition that causes

a decrease in the melanin pigment of the skin. leaving pale skin hat and eyes. nigeria has one of the highest numbers with over 2000000 people affected. many of them still suffer discrimination and stigma, but one normally would act is hoping to change the dw use only such with them that tells us more than a little apple go see, no is what it means to stand out. it will be news i read in no little spots the gold fish, as people calling here knows how to find for what he wants to achieve. how to direct off to the new to me and increase on said, why do you want to be in the industry? do you see anybody with, i mean all by knowing the industry, you know, why do you want to be on october? can you see anybody the, what i've been is obviously it's not something you could do. what is i was always the my dream, something i've always wanted to do. so though, the little boy, my uniqueness, as an all binary is what makes me special. also if there's no one in the industry like that, that means that's a nice, i mean, is that if i can play right, when i come bring my talents to bed,

then it means that kind of wins in many communities, albinos discriminated against both of them. the hopes that by playing leading rules in big movies and series on streaming platforms like netflix, he kind of helped change my step shots every time i put in a film that the way my presence called the film. so now we begin to understand the necessity for inclusion. you know about, look the front, but these guys in a film tell the story any particular way people come up to me and say they want to be active bios continuously. they want to be asked. and i tell them, go for it, make you happen to go and do it until recently. because in nigeria we're not used to seeing albinos on screen. their problem does that have been pushed? well i'm, i'm actually viewed the public to is 1st before, because, i mean, i say why you get tired of seeing the same people, but i was of, didn't always knew was the diversity was the, what's the new thing was the, that's what when they just need to be accepted, if you're a good actor, you're

a good act. so we will not think of you as an albino act. so you're a good actor that i've seen. i think a couple of things. i think it's, it's, it's, it's, it's very interesting because that means there's more, it's more open this member of the, you know, community also happy to see them in the last work in films and want to see more representation in society over the parking lot. if, if in itself, out of that, it fits this message out to people close to me on close, just me. the closest to me i'll be using can do, but you already have received them a lot is certainly planning on dwindle. but i love, you know, the whole actions are thing. also my dream is to play james bond or at least lose the villain and it is one move. that's my dream it's. it's just a one to, to walk on. sit on have the whole crowd, everyone from different places you know, come to come and stop my name on the i think that's a very good feeling. that's a very good feeling.

the now story about tending trash into tries you meet the electro rock band. came going below kenyata from 10 shasta king going to low produces a unique sound of instruments made from recycle. the materials they find on the streets of kinshasa. for example, a guitar drums that is made of tin. and it kind of xylophone from plastic bottles. this band with a message was founded about 5 years ago. do we have an ecological message? it's to tell people not to lease a flag, not just throwing out cans or other things that come to loose and block out drainage system that instead you could make something and recycle the trash to see
