from our correspondent melanie. nowadays not modest living cooking food and selling and her very own now home country of somalia but from a life the 34 year old was a refugee and africa's largest refugee camp 300 kilometers away from here in kenya . still. i was born and bred camp i grew up in the camp i lived there until i got here was our father died. mother died there i made it here. today in somalia though large swathes of the country continue to see violent conflict certain cities taken back from also bought control by local forces seeing tens of thousands of refugees returning to the country they once called home the

last majority of wretched knees from neighboring kenya have resettles here and kiss my old residence seek to overcome their violent past and build towards a hopeful future. notice husband was killed by the islamist extremists upon her return to somalia as a widow and sole carer for her 12 children motos one of the lucky ones was selected by regional authorities to live in a settlement on the outskirts of kismayo free housing and some services like basic healthcare are provided with newton still struggles to support the children so we. can do what my son is now 17 years old he's a student here if he gets to university i don't think i'll be able to pay for it. some days. i'm struggling to just feed my children who are orphaned.

sarah is also one of the $53000.00 returning refugees sent back to somalia with just $200.00 u.s. dollars in the 6 month basic service i get from your name c.-r. she was not provided with housing instead she had to build herself attend sarah feels she's been left all alone with her suffering. is there anything we have not been through of this nothing we haven't experienced people robbed each other some were killed in front of you your sisters raped right in front of you. was when your father beat and if you watch. although parts of somalia continue to take steps towards peaceful recovery resources are lacking and ongoing violence has

paralyzed efforts to support those most in need but the resilience of somali women fuels their determination to carry on despite all the hardship. i had to others i have to be strong i learned this after watching my husband reach out to me as he was being tailed be that as it may there is nothing i haven't seen. the. climate. czar and know to face many difficulties nevertheless they are unwilling to give up on the homeland and still hope to see a brighter future in some money. you have worked hard to get to where you are and it feels good to be reaching your goals you might not be alone enjoy your success many young professionals today feel pressurised to pay back and support extended family members who may not be as fortunate this is so-called black sex and it can be a real burden. getting ready with no running water not uncommon in many

parts of flavors especially in this rocking class neighborhood. this is home for 29 year old. he rents the 5 square metre room and has to make the most of the small space many cure pedicure he works in a small salon to get by. very close it is. so. he can't afford to lose another client it is a rainy season and business is slow but that doesn't stop messages from home i get a message from my sister about our school fees. so. i would never do it for the kids who go to school. about half of his salary goes to his sister his father and other relatives this form of income sharing is common in

nigeria without a functioning social welfare system many young people become their families sole source of income i dislike it i don't like it but you're trying to do with. the possibility that on his way to work all of bungee visits his father who lives alone he lost his job a few years ago but thanks to his son he has a warm meal or fries today without his son support he says he wouldn't survive. a. life through. hearing a jury of people like i refer to as the son of its generation because really he is in between between supporting the all the generation his father while at the same time he wants to raise a family of his all. in order to save money while the bungee needs 3 to 4 clients

a day but today there has been only one not enough to get a hat. and i'm going to enjoy it while you because of so much of a responsibility so. i think. the government have to find something to do today. so we can achieve our. until then the so-called sandwich generation will have to continue filling that gap. so many people in africa can relate with all of bungy in the sense that they too are sandwiched between having to support family members from the generation before them and in many cases the generation off to them to a conversation on black texas also taking place in south africa and to get more insight into that we've invited mesan ending that congo assad has written extensively on the subject of inequality that exists among black south africans and has also produced a documentary that is out today welcome to the africa side apart from the research

that you've done in the documentary that you've produced what is your personal experience with black text so i came to this research is the 2nd generation middle class young black south african with a daughter of myself that i have to take care of and plan the future for i think i realized quite quickly that black tax for myself and for my friends was very much gendered very much racialized in the society as an equal as south africa and so i took it upon myself to investigate what did actually meant to be black in the middle class almost 25 years since the end of a part 8 ok my son is so as i mentioned to all of you is your documentaries out today i want to play an extra buck off that and they will pick up on their shirt. black tie the 1st to the financial obligation jack income. tax.

you got. to get a really. a lot. go go go are. not going. ok mess that is so we've seen that illustration there but what of places that you raise in the documentary you say head that. you know what does that mean for sustainability for communities what does it mean for aspirations of young black children what questions did you arrive at what oncet sorry so one of the main says that i arrived at was that black taxes to magic and a cause of inequality in south africa so it's both the drive of inequality and the

result of high levels of racialized engendered inequality in the country so while distributions between families occur across all race groups and across all genders in south africa because of the star at the history of the park date it relates to uncertainty in the ability to plan for the future the difference between lower lower class lower middle class and upper middle class is so vast as to become meaningless so for example if we translate that the south african middle class would be earning around $300.00 euros to around $10000.00 euros per month which is a ridiculous brackets to consider and compare to and so we have a lot of people living in the black middle class that exist in vulnerability who are unable to plan for the future and who are not equal to their may be colleagues and other similar race groups ok of us honestly i'm talking about the

inequality that is as a result if i did say to you correctly from black tights and i want it in that sense then what should we say policy make is due to it to sort of relieve this in this class of people that exist pretty much on the whole continent. so i mean and that is correct and that inequality in the continent is rising and one of the challenges policymakers are facing is that research has shown that in the context of high levels of inequality implementing social recently just repeats of policies is increasingly difficult because the carry the burden of the tax usually influence the direction of alessi and so policymakers have radii before inequality levels which a crisis like in south africa to implement progress of policies in ways that allow equitable access to education to health care and to social services in ways that aren't agendas as they are in south africa and further you know one of the more

contentious ones is actually to tap in heritance to tax wealth and heritance transfers to put them into a part that can then facilitates distribution are at the center and dana thank you . and that's it for now from africa that you can add to all our stories on our website and facebook page. not often to the gym well i guess sometimes i am but i sound nothing which the

research of them thinks deep into the german culture of looking at stereotypes but interesting to see a country that i don't. feel you can see the pictures grandma there you go it's all about ok. i'm rachel join me from the germans. post. greetings from berlin and a warm welcome to today's edition of arts and culture well there's still time to brush up your summer wardrobe and so today we'll get a handle on what's hot for gents with a fashion sense and also coming up on today's show. rachel stewart from meet the germans takes us through the in our lives and peculiarities of the german health care system. and rediscover the hidden city that lies underneath

the italian capital rome. well it is summer in the city and i have to say this here it is a scorcher here in berlin women of course have many many options in their summer wardrobes to keep cool but the guys seem to be generally a bit more limited or are they we checked out what men's fashion has to offer this summer. this summer on the message for fashion savvy men is to be different step out of your comfort zone and don't be afraid to turn heads. i think for the summer man are going to have a lot more fun they're wearing more colors there are being much more daring. they're showing their away this year. and. as well. just a splash of calm.
