singling out the super rich definitely around 20000000000 or more. germany's wealthiest people live why do they keep such a low. we have a snoop around to catch a glimpse talking to the distributors of discipline which starts june to w. o 5. this is news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes sudan comes to a standstill. launch a 2 day general strike to press the ruling military to head of apollo to a civilian lives. and we meet the historian who wants to teach african children a different narrative on the history of the continent but one thing that africans and said you. centuries of pain is knowing where they are and where they come from . the africa cup of nations

a he's enough will meet the people with disabilities who make footballs sold all over the world. i'm christine want to welcome to news africa i'm glad you're chewing been a 48 hour wood nationwide strike is underway in sudan with citizens demanding a civilian government off to a military coup last month the sudanese professionals association which spearheaded the process that led the army to. urge people to show up at work on tuesday and wednesday but abstain from any activity. in parts of the capital khartoum shops and businesses closed offices were left empty as people across took to the streets to express their discontent with the transitional military

government hundreds of flights were canceled thousands left stranded as airport workers walked out. many banks staff also stopped work. but today the people of sudan demand their rights we want to civilian latest order to a democratic state a country where rights and duties are respected for all citizens we're also here out of respect for the dead this is the least we can do for them. one protest leader says negotiations with the military have stalled and there's no alternative except to scale up the protests. we anyhow civil measures available to us we will continue with civil disobedience and strikes until our demands are fully met we want to transfer to civilian authority.

the military ousted the former president omar al bashir in april and his 30 year rule but for months now protesters have kept up their demonstrations outside army headquarters pressing for a civilian government it's not clear when or even if negotiations with the military will resume. my guest today is a sudanese human rights activist is from darfur and is currently based in. adam so we've seen your fellow countrymen taking part in that strike what are your people back at home telling you that a lot of people i talk to speak to them today they're telling me that is it is successful day. of too much people was bought out of the bank or people who work even in the minister of foreign ministerial in for don they are bottom of it. as

a people who is also don't have to do is also political also but of it is 100 percent a success for the strike today and for the right. what's your feeling about how determined people law this is it has been taking place for over a month now and of course the general strike in the next 48 hours is really about upping the ante and putting pressure on a military that doesn't appear to want to let go of its reins on the power but what i want to know from is how determined do you get the sense that people law is this something that they're willing to continue doing for months to come i think so because. it is a very strange people after the city years of war didn't for dictatorship the good the get away they get the chance to somehow to demand their city you know just why i think it is all the people i talk to them these are this is our chance and we have to take it you know what i mean don't give up. you can seize our specially if you know now is in sudan is also ramadan people are fasting but it's the people sitting there in this sunny time which is like more than $45.00 degrees and they

still are making this drive just in the street and so i think all of their nose out and also we have our experience about. this government from police you know from from from military and people say is an ok we don't need any military room or this is our chance to have democracy. and civil to get with and i think we will. come right at him you you came on to our program on the news of being ousted by the military in april we're sitting here today and we're talking about upping the ante off the failed negotiations with the military to get that civilian government i just wondered if you still have that same sense off my country is on the brink of change that you did back then today. i am still feels that if this change is coming because what is happening now is a society is not easy to see just in political way like in the political level

there is still something have to be done and that's why there is no vision and so but i think it's also the society that is so much. and you know if you see the result of this is dr now on like bank of bank of sudan's a bank was. supposed to be one of bob's institution we're not people striking it is a big like success for my point of view that's why i see it it will come i have to hope that people in sudan they will build. the best. civil to get him or the next time and i guess you have to wait for it all right. sudanese human rights activist thank you and went. on next report is from south africa where one woman says she struggled to find history books black african children could identify with and those she did find were limited in scope now determined to fill that get no longer he's a roach own book she's already sold some 2000 copies and hopes more children in

africa will get to read it. no longer loves reading. but today she's reading a book she wrote herself. with a book in africa with r.v. and. some of the fricken historian no longer hopes to prepare her daughter louis for the future by teaching her the history of white people. only experience as an african that the one thing that africans that has and put them through centuries of pain is knowing where they are and where they come from. the university professor discovered that african history books written for kids were most exclusively focused on egypt she wanted to paint a broader picture about the continent past she wants to cover everything from ancient history to more contemporary independence movement. when africans are clear

about the history and about where they come from and the origins and their different mythologies we do way better as kids in school we do way better as students at university and we do. far better in the world in terms of being innovators when we know our history. no longer also realized that there are no history books that black children in africa could really identify with she was determined to fill the gap and sat down with her illustrator friend any boy to develop a comic book for children in african history just trying to represent visually . elements of african history so that kids can. kind of get a feel for it through the visual side but you know what you know way that. helps african people know my longest approach is simple shows kids and young adults

a different perspective on african history the subject of slavery for example is looked at from a much broader perspective and doesn't just focus on africa shows that humans have been cruel to one another everywhere throughout history. this is an important message in a country like south africa where traces of its colonial past be found everywhere. no longer stresses that this alternative perspective was sorely missed and up until now even in schools. like those in the 3rd eleusis a congress school have something to be proud of i want to know more about this. if you must. know my longest book embraces african history and culture as it covers issues ranging from the rise of civilizations to slavery colonialism struggles for

independence and famous africans. is very. teaches people about cultures. i feel joy because we don't have books. and no longer please us confident that our efforts will pay off the popularity of our book is to rise and perhaps one day walk well it will become compulsory in schools across africa. now it's to a factory in nairobi where people with disabilities make and staged footballs that all sold to football associations all over the world including. now the initiative alive and kicking employs about 70 people and is also present in sandia and. it may look like any other factory but this place is about giving people a chance for many people living with disabilities in africa finding steady work can

be next to impossible joyce has experienced that firsthand in the past employers wouldn't even think of hiring her due to her shoulder condition but she insists she's perfectly capable of doing certain type of jobs. it will be $72.00 lots of challenges finding a job for people like us were living with disabilities that people would just look at us and judge so it becomes really difficult sometimes you find that you can do some of the jobs you find but your boss looks at you and thinks you cannot just because of the way you look leave your colleague juma making footballs has also become a way of helping others. on this one i have been here for almost a year and i love this job we are supplying uganda tanzania kenya all of east

africa to africa so you see this job has done a lot for me because of my income if help my friends and educating my children and progressing in life. and that's the. the workers here are able to make a decent living but it's also about boosting confidence and taking pride in what they do. is important to national and out all of these footballs we make here and up all over the world last month i was in kampala and i saw them being played there and i felt like this thing we're doing is something important it's something that can uplift people because they are sent all over the world and like. all of us but . so far the team has produced over 300000 footballs and some of them have shipped all the way to prominent european clubs like arsenal manchester united and chelsea . and that is it from africa today as always you catch one all stories on our
