wild foreigner and flora to end the ban on trading ivory the free countries are home to 61 percent of the continent's elephants zimbabwe's president innocent men gobble was particularly scathing in his response to the decision he said to a local reporter they kill us from but they bar us rather from killing our animals full selling ivory bats they want to strip protect them from being poached he continued to say europeans have consumed all their animals but they want to save rules for us we've managed to consume they is. my guest today is to nash a foul spokesman for zimbabwe pox and wildlife management authority he's joining us from harare welcome see the africa mystified why is the zimbabwean government so opposed to that ivory ban. thank you thank you christine there little prisons where we are. today but because most of

the people who bear the brunt of this i mean was there in the communities people who are not benefiting people one of getting anything and most of the people making decisions on our behalf or on behalf of the communities. in copenhagen they don't choose to hear board as we design the most and we think that business interest on how people from the west and the view of these animals when you look at this animal is. cool somewhere or in. dr in the people would come forward for the source of these animals that's when you look at it from the book. you see and something which is solved but for people won't try to scare these animals away from their fields to scare them away from their they know who it was we've lost people due to human or left conflict this alone we've lost more than 15 lives in this is this is something that is happening almost every day in the

communities and that's why we're pushing for communities voices to be head unfortunately not called to but did the most unfortunate thing is people pushing for the bad and those who enjoy those who are putting in a little money in fees but then again existing in these communities we are seeing a fantasy and also quite a lot in the midst of must build in 1st i want to actually apologies but why do you think i mean even seem to be making the case yet but why do you think that you appeals a falling on deaf ears why is the international community not coming on board. we don't know i honestly can't speak on their behalf but we've tried all the things possible to say the word life management issue it's a saying the biggest issue in decisions must be based on science when you say exuded a political killing capacity this is science these are no 2 motions this is this isn't mass to be made based on science based on faith that one of them put in

filters that i think the world must know is or the global ellison's that it did with the extinction animals in southern africa that don't facing extinction we are sitting on more than $84000.00 elephants in a small kind of legs and bob i can give you an example more than a 100 years ago we had about 4000 elephants and we had also a very small population of settlers and like natives in zimbabwe but the numbers of 20 forward for the 100 days that i'm talking about in the lead is not expanding the same thing is happening in our neighbors in and i may be able to one these are the challenges that we're facing but we believe that we believe that the best thing that we can do is to ensure that our communities have been a fitting because the sister land of defense for these animals are the communities we believe that the animals and the people these communities must see these animals is equal to me which when it is so that people get jobs for them so that it least

old people get education distance that's what we believe in because the numbers the political cutting capacity they're causing a lot of problems in our communities they're not only killing people they're also destroying crops with that with our people being imposed by these animals for no benefit our governments are at their social competing needs like education the oh they do other things and i think asking for too much for the government too but we are doing our best we are saying we believe that the animals musty look after themselves to gnash if i'd always focused in parks and wildlife management authority thank you. thank you mr. k. so this fantasy behind me is known by many names it's called in kenya in uganda and rwanda and cats in somalia and ethiopia chewing the plant is

a popular pastime on the horn of africa and using catch is often dismissed as a harmless cultural activity rather than a social problem but one clinic in ethiopia is now offering treatment for cat addiction and usual move in a country where few people see the use of cuts as problematic. these men are all in rehab because of an addiction to cat chewing the cats plant for it stimulating effect has been common in ethiopia for centuries but users can struggle to curb their habit i've been in addiction for the past 15 years for but with a lot of for addiction a big percentage that's like it's like cigarettes like marijuana at this state run rehab center treatment is free and patients are encouraged to give up using cat a rare approach in

a region where few try to stop people using the popular drug. here in ethiopia chewing cat is legal and widely seen as a cultural activity but experts say users can try to turn to other substances such as alcohol to dampen the plant's amphetamine like effects. the whole night. start. reading for increasing cost of work. for increasing the performance in the study in different works. haitians complain of everything from irritability to nightmares and depression here that offer treatment for withdrawal symptoms given psychological help and even work out. in this part of the capital addis ababa truckloads of fresh supplies arrive every day it's chewed openly on the streets here but many aren't convinced that cat is

a cause for concern. that's not true the people who say that already addicted to alcohol and other drugs before they use cats. are worth it and then when i got his property than what i demanded money. catches ethiopia is 2nd biggest export behind coffee and more and more farmers are now abandoning coffee and other crops to grow it as a result domestic consumption is growing. a drop in on the skateboarding scene in kenya the sport is relatively new in the country but it's picking up in popularity and with skateboarding having its state view at the olympics next year some in nairobi already dreaming big as a corrigible found out at the biggest skate park in the capital i.

can say john quinones the one who sky using helps me to be strong when i'm on my skateboard i feel free when i'm moving on the board especially when i'm dropping into the ball and i come out i feel sorry good enough will be. whenever 16 year old william gets a chance she trains at the chandelier skate park she grew up here just a few metres away of the children's home and nairobi where more than 100 children in need are provided with a shelter regular meals and free schooling but the best part of course so the children say is that skate park. i'm scared to every day i like getting the clothes out must get. the pop open in 2014 and it's not only east africa's 1st skate park but also its

largest. this represents much more than a sports facility and a space for leisure this is where the children of trying to build themselves and well on the weekends they welcome children of all backgrounds from across nairobi to help and learn from each other fun friending together and most importantly. to build long lasting friendships. for the children copying self confidence they've been able to express themselves they have been able to fulfill lives of people from outside but the truth or from outside come. true but one thing for them all. and watching them all thought i would love for people to help them both to open up and appreciate them #. as money says that when she looks at the children skating she sees that troubled past and of neglect and abandonment fade away she sees kenya as bright future. is up in the clinical international dream of going to international

competitions or to the olympics and also introducing other women to skating showing them that they shouldn't be afraid of going because nothing is impossible you just have to be fearless and have enough confidence confident enough. either she becomes an olympic champion on not being in hopes to make a living with skateboarding one day when she does she wants to build a home for nairobi's underprivileged children and that dream house etc could be this big project. and that is it for now from date of you news africa as always you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page so today will leave you with pictures of some of every his wild life as we heard earlier in the program standing but sometimes coexistence is difficult to see an extra.
