yes you know i mean. what in. this is the news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes they are bringing investments about and still can resentment in growing numbers of chinese in zambia look at the influence on business and politics also coming up i'm a believer that. my country and. a lot of people in america and some of the world couldn't agree to make my world and my promptly. a young gandhian media entrepreneur who's determined to prove to his peers that building

a future in your own home country is best. i'm any mike a jew no thanks for joining us we begin with the story of a bag larry and a zombie on a copper mining town of kit's where nothing unusual about that this was a chinese own store and the looting flexing of the growing chinese sentiment across some via china's financial influence is growing on the african continent china is biggest foreign investor and chinese companies are buying up significant chunks of key government assets now while beijing is rapidly increasing there's been some level of economic growth in zambia but china's presence is also triggering resentment. against them. joggle on the one found out

this report. memories of a recent book larry. the chinese business woman based in the. capital. shortly after yan had set up the store riots broke out in key to i guess the chinese. they told me to run you see this door. this kind of door is hard to log. the more nervous i got the harder it became to lock the door and then they broke my window and. all. the looting in the store is a reflection of growing sentiment in zambia to bring funding for any project be to roll the stadium the hospitals schools or houses they bring their money they develop and i think they also smarter as they do those such as the development i think they are addressing their population problem we have all works on those

present and not going back accusations that china is actively redistributing its population in zambia are rife and much of feet is spread by politicians i think i would not be surprised that in the next seven years which i missed governance there are too many we have taken away the business that local people are doing so i wouldn't be surprised if we are not very careful if we are to continue with this government. in the next three or four years all of chinese ministers chinese state control farms are accused of when almost every government contract funded not going to be gene one of these deals was the two hundred and seventy three million dollar digital migration project zambia's transformation from analog to digital broadcasting. the process was carried out by top stop a joint venture between the chinese media conglomerate star times and the best national broadcaster that n.b.c. . a controversial part of the deal is how star times bypassed local laws to make

top star a competitor in a business it already controls she. points. to a. group to. be sure. to. join too few troops for sure. but became both the contents of his provider and distributor and the deal was approved without the board we thought parliament shy and not. good investors neither do they mean well for africa most people not to invest. in first as. the chinese are benefiting way more than zambians have led to several

attacks on chinese shops so far two major riots have broken out and the police have recorded dozens of brutal fight in me is just one of the victims of the growing resentment against. expansion in zambia joining me now is my colleague. who was on the ground in zambia working on different reports. thanks for joining us now from the reports it seems many. happy when the chinese and that country is not a reality on the ground. pretty much this is a wrestler it that's been pushed by politicians who argued that you have a huge influx of so-called chinese investors who come into the country and eventually into small scale jobs some of them do come on major projects major investment projects then of this project they do stay in the country and then enter

into the private sector so you actually see chinese selling making shoes on this on the roadside and selling corn as one of the. someone put it in the report so there is this anger that the chinese are taking over the i jumps and. but there are also people who do believe bell says i'm going to do i view the presence of the child of china india and that contributes investment opportunities for them so clearly it's not an all negative situation about what is really causing this growing and the chinese sentiment in that country. terms of factors responsible for it a lot of it has to do with rivalry we thin small small communities especially where you have a huge presence of the chinese in the mine in the mining field that's and within the copper bed area you do have. all this frack up between the chinese

residents most people day is up and say they believe that these chinese are respects they don't have respectable laws and so they they blame them for a lot of things that they will work them to pay them less and they they use also the motherly invective language is on them and so that leads to also some issues but time the main thing is that the argument that you have huge amounts of a huge influx of chinese in the country and the venture into the private sector now we talk about this blame game here is it easy to point a finger as to who is to be blamed as the chinese always it that governments that actually strike these deals but it's i mean. it's definitely you can put the blame on the two sides say ok let's not put the blame on those who are coming in imagine . a local politician you meet someone in the hotel room and they both of these displaying the hundreds of thousands of dollars for you in the bed and say or you

need to do it just signed this contract and we get this contract you get this money so people do take it so and there is this accusation that from from our investigations we understood that the chinese believe that i have on corruption and when this is when the system is corrupt that the tension is to benefit from it and so see the just in zambia across africa in most cases when this is them that extremely corrupt that's where you see the chinese have a high on. t.v. it is i will walk out giallo date of your colleague thanks very much for your time . now the gambia is the smallest country on mainland africa its operation is barely more than two million and yet its youth unemployment problem is pushing many of its young people to leave in the hope of finding better which it is a broad twenty five year old cycle by is one young guy who's chosen to stay and he's encouraging other guardians to do the same did abuse reports now.

it's known for its beautiful coastline and the sex tourism that it attracts but for some young man prostitution is the only opportunity they have to make any kind of living one in two people live in poverty here young people dream of a better future. i thought about leaving gambia but i don't have any money if i had the money i would go. to youth unemployment is high roughly forty percent in the past people mainly wanted to leave the gambia because of its former president rules and suppression until twenty seventy now there is a new government in place a new freedoms. jobs and that is what keeps pushing young people away. is different he has no intention of leaving two years ago at the age of twenty three he launched an online newspaper called the stone

circle its aim to give the youth of voice. it's coming to be. a very tedious read because. a lot of stories are really doing morning conference the team of five for free they all juggle second jobs they want to make sure the paper can keep going they focus mainly on unemployment and irregular migration an estimated three and a half thousand migrants have returned to the gambia in. yes and say interviewing one of them today. so this is your home my. stuff returned last year the twenty six year old says he endured beatings for months in a prison in libya but missa do have full potential my friends. you know.
