your own beside the last really the time to search the yard not. end point for the troops out. of hard to overcome boundaries. and to connect with the world. it was time for g.w. the deputy is coming up ahead. for mines. this is deja news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes migration to big cities is outpacing urbanization in ethiopia we need the children forced to make a living on the streets of bodies. and just days into a new presidency hundreds of rebels lay down their weapons is it a new door in the democratic republic of congo. then a fishing sandal will take you to the people carving out the dawn and funeral

tradition that's one of extravagance. and pristine one built welcome to news africa i'm glad you're chained in what happens when development is concentrated in the cities and excludes the rural areas in ethiopia one of the un says to that question is visible in the capital addis ababa the city has seen an influx of more than two million people in the pos twenty is another meaning its size has almost doubled but infrastructure like housing and schools and the number of jobs on offer have not grown accordingly the result children many of them a full c. live on the streets here's a report my colleague funny compiled. over the youngest children even six. this boy is begging for anything just to survive he sniffing glue

it beats the pain of hunger a common sight in the capital's main square. they try to escape poverty in the countryside or problems within their families but very often these children are somebody's parents to be able hoping they may find a job and become a source of income ever being here on their own young and vulnerable they face new difficulties the last official survey put their numbers in the capital at twelve thousand but that was almost a decade ago many n.g.o.s believe today's figures are much higher one of them retrack provides temporary housing for street children this place is just for girls . last year a retraction altered more than five hundred children and adults here when they have a chance to be children again. this fourteen year

old girl arrived a couple of weeks ago. to you know and my family promised i'd be able to go to school but instead i had to work. she says she was twelve when she ended up as a domestic helper working fifteen hours a day and subjected to abuse after two years she fled such stories are all too common according to a minute to dare say a social worker she helps these children cope with their trauma we increase them to feel safe and protected and most of them came here having oil passing through different not use of situations so in order to me to get this are you see for situations we learn and we believe that these stations or it is for graham's help that there is to become annoying person retracts main goal is to reunite children with their families and raise parents' awareness that child labor is illegal without much government assistance however there is very little small

charities can do to provide long term support. these boys found work shining shoes their goal to earn their own living. i'd like to quit this work as a shoe shine or go to school and live a better life but it's not easy to get out of the situation so this is my life for now that one day i want something better that's my dream. as a mother night falls in this rapidly growing city no one knows how many thousands of children will be sleeping in this streets one of the challenges facing the government is to get a fresh count. the democratic republic of congo is one week into a new presidency and already there are some interesting developments three more rebel leaders have dramatically surrendered in a nod to the country's change of leadership this comes days off to six hundred militiamen in the cus i reach and lay down their weapons and vall to end their

uprising against the government in kinshasa province is a stronghold of the country's recently sworn in president felix she's a kitty there was more good news from him for him though when a group of catholic leaders in the country said it was no longer supporting demonstrations against his election win now the catholic church who had claimed last year's election was rigged were influential in fourteen eighteen mass protests against the former congolese president joseph kabila stepped down last week bringing an end to these families dynasty rule and making the first transfer of power via the bengal since the gained independence in one thousand nine hundred sixty so where to now for the largest country in sub-saharan africa the best i'm joined by d.w. correspondent when she went to was in the country covering that election for us last year she joins me now hi wendy so we've seen of course this ribble stand down and people are probably wondering when is this the beginning of something new for.

yes hi christine i think everything that has happened since philip she said katie was integrators the new president of the country many good sign actually because as you previously say there is this six hundred militia and from coming that's up to who was writing in the us a we have to remember that this party of the country was really exposed to violence and led many people left the country we are talking about thousands of people who left from the sea and goes elsewhere. in the neighborhood countries so this is a good sign but we still have to remember that there is other parties of the country like binny where there is still many challenges of security so we have to wait for the months coming but the response zone like binny where there is problems ok and then of course another development when they would be that the catholic

church reportedly saying that it's no longer supporting demonstrations against phoenix chickadees when what happened there what's changed. i think the catholic church don't want to be the one who will burn the country they have agreed of what happened and we also we have also seen that out some priests in that i say say that they welcomed the news of the new president in the country and the last action of the catholic church was demands that they organize a debating of the week it to remember the people who was date between two thousand and seventeen and two thousand and eighteen they was asking for to step down so this was the last action i think from today the catholic church has stepped down there as agreed but they still be like the one who will be the keepers of the democracy that will be there to remember and to to remember and to ask to fix the

security and to be very sure of what he's doing especially at the security and social level wendy a lot of people are skilled a so skeptical about. they think that he's a businessman i mean just watching the two of them at the inauguration a lot of commentators were what quick to to talk about the public display of affection between the two men you know to what extent is feelings just a kitty in the hands of kabila or not what's the sentiment. i think sincerely she said katie was elected the new president he wants to show that he as a difference way of ruling the country he want to be different from kabila let me give you an example for example at the beginning of the suite there was a strike at the time school this is the public society who will manage the transportation and after two days of strike this you see katie yesterday ever decided to dismissed the head of time school this is the first time we see

disguised of situation in the congo so he really want to show to people that he will be different from tabula and he would have many radical measure concerning career in the willfully being the public administration exits rob ok wendy very quickly are people convinced by this are they thinking that this is a new moment for congo. i think people saying that this is a new moment for the congo but we have to wait this is too early to have a big photo of what is happening on the ground maybe after one hundred days of the president we will see some change all not even social issues security health and so we have to wait it's too early for the moment all right when you corresponded for us thank you thank you ok they say when you die you take nothing with you but that's not necessarily the case and gonna where people believe the dad should get the best possible sandal that often includes
