there's news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes bringing investment still can resentment with growing numbers of chinese in zambia look at the influence on business and politics also coming up i'm a believer that. my country. where a lot of people in america are going to. make my world. a young gandhi and media entrepreneur who's determined to prove to his peers that

building a future in your own home country is best. i'm eddie my good to know thanks for joining us we begin with the story of the bag larry in the zombie uncle mining town of kit's where nothing unusual about that except this was a chinese own stall and the looting of the growing chinese sentiments 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. again. on the one final

report. memories of a recent book larry still haunts. the chinese business woman based in the. capital . shortly after a young 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 knock. 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 britain funding for any project be to roll the stadium the hospitals schools or houses they bring their money they develop it but i think they also smarter as they do those threats at the development i think they are addressing their population problem we have always on those credit they're

not going back accusations that china is actively redistributing its population in zambia are rife and much of feed is spread by politicians i think i would not be surprised that in the next seven years we'll have a chinese governing document that we have taken away the business that the 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 four years we'll have chinese ministers chinese state controlled farms are queues of women almost every government contract funded not going to be gene. one of these deals was the two hundred and seventy three million digital migration project transformation from analog to digital broadcasting. the process was carried out by top stop a joint venture between the chinese media conglomerates times and national broadcasters and n.b.c. . a controversial part of the deal is how start times bypassed local laws to make

top star a competitor in the business it already controls short points in this. case to. be in. small groups. trying. to do through it will be sure to be pretentious. but became both accountants obvious provider and distributor and the deal was approved without the board we thought parliament shy. it's good investors neither do they mean well for africa those people to me are not invested.

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 fights in me is just one of the victims of the growing resentment against china 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. happy with the chinese country is that a reality on the ground. pretty much this is a rhetoric that's been pushed by politicians who argued that you have a huge influx of so-called chinese investors who are coming into the country and eventually into small scale jobs some of them do come on major projects major investment projects are dead of this project they do stay in the country and in the

end into the private sector so you actually see chinese making shoes on this on the roadside selling corn as one of the. someone put it in their report there so there is this anger that the chinese are taking over the i jumps and. there are also people who do believe the else is i'm going to do i give the presence of the child of china and that contributes investment opportunities for them so clearly it's not an all negative situation about what is really causing this growing and chinese sentiment in that country. terms of response will for a lot of feed 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 in it in a couple bad area you do have. all this frack up between chinese

residents mostly people day is armed and say they believe that these chinese own respective don't have the respectable laws and so they they blame them for a lot of things that they will work them to be the less and they they use also the model 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 he has is it easy to point the finger as to who is to be blamed as the chinese always said that governments that actually strike these deals but it's i mean. it's definitely you can put the blame on the two sides will say ok let's not put the blame on those who are committing 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 was when the system is corrupt that the chen chinese do benefit from it and so you actually see that just in zambia but across africa in most cases where this is from that extremely corrupt that's where you see the chinese have a higher. if it is i will work hard giallo deed of your colleagues thank you very much for your time. now the gun is the smallest country on mainland africa relation is barely more than two million and yet its youth unemployment problem is pushing many of its young people believe in the hope of finding better which it is a broad twenty five year old. by is one young guy who's chosen to stay and he's encouraging other gambians 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 they 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's a new government in place a new freedoms. and that is what keeps pushing young people away. very different he has no intention of leaving two years ago at the age of twenty three he launched an online newspaper called the storm

circle its aim to give the youth of voice the morning everyone 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. since yes and cycling is interviewing one of them today. so this is your home for my. stuff returned last year the twenty six year old says he endured beatings for months in a prison in libya but miss it do for my games.

it's not like. you know until. after his return to set up an association to advise other migrants about the benefits of staying at home sekou is all too familiar with the stories he strolled in writes about all his brothers who left the country but only to return to one never made it back to life from libya who tells me why did you stay. i'm a believer that. my country. where a lot of people in america are family couldn't disagree more to make my way over my country he's proud that mood has seventy five thousand people read his website per month but when does he think it would be true success when we were to reach out to every young person in the country. to get. them introduced to

a walk of course and really able to influence the government in their policies more sekou says he intends to keep pushing young people in this country to stay while also holding the government accountable for helping the next generation. some good motivation and that's it for now from d.w. news africa you can catch all our stories on our website facebook page we leave you now with visuals of the got me an american wrestler. who is the new world wrestling champion but it's this fast of a welsh something. shipped in over a decade is the first african born well champion in the w w e history fox he and i well both born in kumasi got up and we are both old school feet see you next time by fernand.
