train all with understand this new culture. another visitor nothing yet you want to become a citizen. in for migrants your platform for reliable information. there's there's news africa coming up in the program one will last the country as a spirit hand from euro some see that africa hasn't got the museums to house its own artifacts is that a fair argument. because of the museum would have taken in this room due to going to the house in the future the species is moot in the world of fruit in the arse in kingdoms it strikes a truck. and climate change is forcing increasing numbers of the jazz fulani to turn your back on the our traditional nomadic life stuff.

i bet you my god you know and you are welcome to the program there's a kilometer at 10 africa stretches now think about this for a 2nd if we are for guns one to look at many of our works and sacred objects we have to make a long journey because many of our treasures ascott there throughout museums in europe a year ago french president manuel mccrum promised to attend. to ben in these royal stocks use those looted by friends clooney all forces that been in ones back but not much has happened yet micros announcement was triggered by reports he had commissioned on the restitution of africa's stretches we'll talk to one of the report's authors in a moment about fests what are people seeing on the continent high and african art

on display in the museum in africa something that is fairly unusual as many of africa's masterpieces are holliston europe cynicus museum of black civilizations and is an exception like many on the continent the museum's director wants to change. the pond is sure to let them that things have been stolen africans are not going to ask to strip european museums with their works there that are perhaps a very valuable for these works have to be returned to the communities to which they belong as. in 2800 french president eminem akong rocked the museum was when he promised to return 26 why the statues and thrones looted from the king the most own way today been there some of the 5000 objects the country has requested returned from france the process of restitution is proving long and complicated finance minister sam balik 1st step last month when it gave this famous saber the weapon originally belong to the roof its religious leader and he's slamming school

or. something africa doesn't have the museums to care for the cultural heritage themselves museum director buku refutes this. when we take them back assuming that we region agreement with all the parties both the authorities and the communities we can do whatever we want we could store them in the museums we could showcase them or return them to the sacred forest to look for people might even decide we don't want them. i don't think anybody should tell us what to do with these objects. fair africans also want to reconnect with their past. history takes us back to our ancestors the black people it really portrays another picture this is our story. they swap. the story they want to be told in their own countries and on their own terms . my colleague christine milne bulgaria with. easy's in the gillies economist

and the co-author of a report on african odds held in friends when it was released the year ago the report shook up the arts world with its recommendation that friends should read 10 vast numbers of objects to african countries that request them something friends then from missed it would start doing. dr sol france has pitched to return african odd effects by 2022 are you satisfied with the progress. political point of view and what have been done is very few right france has promised to receive shoot artifacts from the 1000000000 republic just us to do when we give the report to the french president discussed within one hour and a half and indeed in this discussion he said to start the process of course it's driven by the true thing to do to do after fix but until now i don't have no doubt

they have made little progress because they have said to to to do its due. regard to see that the government radiates right to put to host the artifact of the need to bring in infrastructure etc on that point a lot of people who are opposed to the race issue should make a point are you going to that africans won't be able to look after the artifacts what do you make of that it's a very bad arguments what will the 1st thing we've done is that we have made a kind of. a can of statistics of african musicians under this era you found 500 museums in sub-saharan africa your the 1st surprised by them the number of music and you have some countries like south africa nigeria kill ya that they have between 30 and. 50 museums and if you look at the number of objects that the african director of museum wants

in the short terms you have more of. if i should do to cause them right and the true question because the question is not the question of the museum were taken in museum they were taken to the house in a spiritual species in a lot of places in the arts in kingdoms just like the truck and we have trouble across africa. to somewhere in 5 countries to see what would the local infrastructure in been right in cameroon in mali and some of it they can go in the museum they can come back in the communities do they can go to school and they were taken from us just to they can go in universities would be collusion is the place where you can host the object mirrors in africa right. we have the the form at a un best it to the you know he stops at a comma. and she's been trending on social media we see off her talking about how

former colonial powers fonts of particular continue to pollute africa to use of words is that a fair representation of how things are at present i think it's just i think you just because. all those national companies that are in you know country is you know france germany etc etc great britain they have a lot of as much power relationship i was the it's a muslim it is our i would states and when the negotiates contracts on or a lot of guys i'm writing the middle. part kim you want to be european companies and you know and this will spark into the africans and it's a it's a question that is very complex and because this question is within the how these regimes were elected. are they are here for good for the interests of the middle african or for their just for their group. i will leitch to or not

and it's kind of you know it's kind of are difficult questions because you know it he was produced from african society. the good leadership there is very strong to be able to negotiate in his own interest and to fight again. despite what's between nation and it was being supported by the strong with the society but to have some society you have to nurture it you have to educate people to have a free space and it's a kind of you know that brings me to my next question do you think that former colonial powers still feel that they are superior to africans often with these imaginary of superiority of spirit if there is in the society that is taught in how is stories told is how they represent themselves how they who present their culture within their knowledge those he lays issue and there is a walk to there to show that you know it's kind of it's about do narrative of do

reality of the contribution of each see leisure time to the global and the human civilizations in the imaginaries of the imperial imaginaries that is long lasting that is now you know in not in all people but you know in you know in the space is also it was. a problem that as i think you can tell you very much. now for money and their livestock have traversed west africa's our it's our region for centuries the never had been set for grazing land and water from sets of farmers in the past are full of these knowledge of the land. kyra deborah through drought spots these days climate change of course in the sun helps to dry out properly threatening their lifestyle. for traditional full army people tending to cattle is

a way of life across the plains of news for lonnie drive their animals across ancient trails in surge of water and pastures but these days keeping their livestock well watered is an increasingly difficult task. during the dry season we always have a water problem it rained earlier this year so the ponds and watering holes were full but the drought came back the watering holes dried up and we had to come back to this well to water the animals. no matter how fatherhood is rome they face the same problem as a horrid as it is swallowing up vast tracts of pasta land each year some for lani are considering stopping a lifestyle that their people have maintained for centuries. i don't think we can carry on breeding anymore with climate change things are becoming more complicated for us not to mention what will happen in the generations to come.

as well as the spreading desert conflict with farmers over land has also slashed livestock numbers as a result many full arnie's are settling in urban areas in the hope of finding work for this herder turned god moving to town has brought to security he hopes for wages are low and he has many miles to feed the number of problems in a city we sometimes i struggle to eat unlike when we lived in the bush with the animals. that it doesn't even cover or needs. as main livestock union is running programs like this dairy farm to help for me who have given up herding cattle. is one of the 300 women who make cheese and. before leaving i sold my animals to pay for my children's schooling when all my animals were gone i left in order to help my family after several tries i realized

i wasn't earning enough money that is why except as a chop in the dairy farm i thought it unless in the mere boy. from across the sahara will have gathered for the yearly garo all festival. meant dog ceremonial clothing. makeup and things to seduce their wives c. but when the festivities draw to a close the full on the lead the hoods back into the sun hell and an uncertain future. that's it for now from did africa you can catch all our stories on our website on facebook page we need you now with pictures of the full on the images. by for now but i'll see you soon.
