1:16 am
a people experiences when their heritage is taken from them. countless cultural artifacts were stolen from africa by colonialists and carted off to europe. to lift wounds that have yet to feel much should be done with the stolen or from africa. stolen soul starts september 7th on d w. this is do you have any news africa on the program today the prosecutor and the persecution of the i.c.c. is a factual been sudha has been blacklisted by washington and put on a list with terrorists and drug traffickers for the work of the horse so what africa's leaders and you should be inside. and tossing time while school's out will catch up with a. in kenya where the 2020 academic year has been cancelled. then
1:17 am
what's brewing in uganda we'll find out why coffee is in demand in the nation off teetering. hello i'm kristie one to welcome to news africa it's good to have you accompanied the european union has said it will defend the international criminal court against attempts to undermine it the e.u. is the latest decision to stand behind the court's off to washington sanctioned top officials in the hague now the i.c.c. s chief prosecutor fattal bin sudha and her top aides becky so more chill chill have been blacklisted by the top administration over the court's investigation into whether a u.s. forces committed war crimes in afghanistan on wednesday the u.s. secretary of state mike on peo announced the sanctions on bin sudha accusing the
1:18 am
i.c.c. off continuing to talk its americans in june the trumpet ministration authorized the imposition of economic sanctions against foreign persons directly engaged in i.c.c. efforts to investigate u.s. or allied personnel and those who materially assisted in those in the in that effort today would take the next step because the i.c.c. continues to target americans sadly pursuant to secular order 13928 the united states will designate i.c.c. prosecutor for 2 bensouda and the i.c.c. as head of jurisdiction complementarity in cooperation division. much to go for having material assisted prosecutor bensouda individuals and entities that continue to materially support those individuals risks posed to sanctions as well. addition the state department has restricted the issuance of this is for certain individuals
1:19 am
involved in the i.c.c. its efforts to investigate u.s. personnel and even more on this told me a lot of bull joins me at the big table tony good to see you sir tell us little bit more about the sanctions that will be her top 8 are and well the u.s. is not signatory to the i.c.c. so it can't withdraw in protest when something happens the i.c.c. has no assets that the u.s. can freeze or what does it do it targets individuals from the i.c.c. right like bensouda now these sanctions put her and her colleague under list especially designated nationals and blocked persons on this list includes members of al qaeda and isis drug dealers you know that's the kind of company that she's considered under. no if you're a terrorist hiding somewhere that's different when you're under this list but if you're somebody who's going around in the streets traveling trying to conduct business like i too would be doing then you're locked off and this essentially cut
1:20 am
her off from any u.s. business that operates and that's to add to the fact that she's already had her visit visa revoked that was done in 20 u.s. visa in 2019 right ok so. tell me i remember the last time the us went off to an african holding position and it was seen as asian. they were they thank you for that you know he was under attack and wiesel virtually every president on the african continent jumped up to his defense this looks like a similar thing to me right you have this african woman under attack essentially for the work that she's doing and. nobody saying anything on the continent the difference here is that the i.c.c. has targeted some of these african countries in the past were relating to some of its cases when it comes to genocide and comes to war crimes and in fact in 2017 the african union backed a mass movement in africa to exit the i.c.c.
1:21 am
a lot of african countries felt that the i.c.c. was targeting african countries and so if you look at cases like omar al bashir for most sudanese president who was under arrest warrant by the i.c.c. you also have kenya's president who are kenyatta as well who face charges those are just some of the examples that african countries felt were unfair ok let's talk about 52 as you mentioned she is the i.c.c. stopper ski just so they know about her her tenure at the course well thought to answer is the 2nd i.c.c. prosecutor she followed luis moreno ocampo was an argentinean and under his tenure there were 2 about 12 investigations that were run 10 of which focused on africa and so unfair to consider came into office a lot of african countries felt well this is a way forward now maybe at least as if he felt this would be a way of appeasing the africans ok and i and 5 have been sort of did go off to other countries apart from cases in other countries apart from africa so she's
1:22 am
actually nearing the end of a tenure she should finish her tenure next next june but it's come at a time where i mean she has been looking to she has raised her pro. your point but i think with all these cases the african attitude towards the i.c.c. the u.s. which of course is the is the major player in the world also opposing the i.c.c. i think that tarnish is the achievements that fatah bensouda has has made all right tony i mean we must leave it there but we know that the e.u. and various other organizations i the i.c.c. itself have come out what has happened the decision taken by the united states told me as always thank you for coming in but that it. now nic story is in kenya where the government has canceled the 2020 academic yeah as part of its response to the koran a virus pandemic now that's left some 17000000 learned is across the country out of
1:23 am
school. travel to talk talk that's near the border with tanzania to meet one of them. 2020 was the beginning of an exacting new chapter for vincent to little high school but in mid march in response to corbett 19 the kenyan government closed all schools including higher education the measure disrupted the lives of nearly 17000000 students across the country for 16 year old to little it's meant typing his family cuttle out in the wild rather than pursuing an education. when. i was really excited to do in high school because i've never been to boarding school. but i was frustrated when i was told schools would be closed so you know i miss the interaction with students and sharing ideas when these long distance learning can see the other challenges to lead to simply doesn't have enough time for studying. now it's just wake up look after
1:24 am
some you know use and you can't concentrate when you try to study so much you fall asleep. on a day like this classroom would be students for children even more until the kenyan government can solve the 20 twentieth's. due to the coronavirus but for these musée community one qualified teacher is all that they have. 22 year old danny my side he usually teaches near the tanzanian border but now he has taken to one of tearing home. one of your living in a community like bees they no saw and saw is a teacher and we have to have the kids otherwise the kids would miss our art form a cross or so. the side of the students looking up to the cattle would be at risk because they. come identify when the schools are cruel the young people go out into
1:25 am
their wild to graze the cows and you know for them i say yes we are used to killing us. no there is genuine disease an increase in no one from killing like this but if they are in school students will not get time to do this. and it's but it's what i know. but experts believe there's a lot of walk to be done before schools can safely reopen in kenya. i think the 1st point to really be training for our teachers once we've done the training then we need to look at our infrastructure for example if our building was able to accommodate a group of 20 dogs how can we use it now to accommodate those to ennoble us do social distancing. for now schools remain closed for the foreseeable future. but it's yet another day of
