7:30 pm
in the. country. what's in store. for the future. to make the city. in such. injure. little guys it's always a pleasure to be with you welcome to another edition of the 77 percent this is the platform for africa's you i'm your host at the mike a junior. so they show will focus on migration to leave your country or not to leave that's the question let's check out what's coming up. we'll talk to my gran's on the tally on island of sicily to see
7:31 pm
how life this feat in that. was basically gone on entrepreneurs whose business revolves around making coffee. and we'll find out why a young lawyer lets his fable un job to make running shoes in kenya now let's start off with migration well many reasons why people migrate i for example came from god awful my studies and i'm still here in germany for work that's my story but we wanted to hear yours so we hit the streets subject i was like. oh well i mean i'm only 26 so as long as i remember this is spinning my world order on a more of you i promise i'll make my baby yeah with betty pace many hours when it's about the economy so they do not move to see what's on the you know. 18 i moved to south africa. i definitely migrate just because. i have
7:32 pm
no idea what's like what's outside of this wall i was kindly thinking of going to the middle east it's kind of cheeky you buy i don't know i don't know i think it will be a good opportunity for me always to visit to america. i'm not trying to hold my breath again because. it's got about you need a lot of energy to. liberalize yourself in a certain country. the people. that's a lot of what. i'm prepared to do that one of the fabled. as we've all heard leaving home it's not always easy and unfortunately some people be a high price for it now ah 1st reports takes us to the spanish canary islands gran canaria lies just 160 kilometers off the african coast there are almost daily reports of people risking their lives to reach europe and many find themselves
7:33 pm
stuck on the island without jobs. this small harbor in southern run canaria is full of memories for amadou dion and his friend for 7 days they travelled in a wooden boat over 1300 kilometer is from senegal across the atlantic spanish to rescue boats pick them and 80 other passengers up and brought them to gran canaria . pulling in a sheet they wanted to show us their boat but one of the rescuers says it has already been scrapped. we arrived on the 27th of october nothing has happened since i have no work i have nothing to do what i can do is eat and sleep. here we can do anything for our families and senator like send in the money for food. plus the fisher. and in senegal he worked hard and even had his own business but he earned
7:34 pm
very little from selling fish and he couldn't compete with the growing competition from international fishing fleets. gran canaria lives in a tourist hotel a temporary shelter for him and thousands of other migrants kicking a football is all the migrants continue to pass their time. isn't like africa in africa everything with people in europe they want to cease to commence it's just like. but it's not only the migrants that are caught in a crisis young spaniards like javier domingo's and his colleagues have been jobless for months normally when they work as waiters in tourist restaurants but because of the cold with 19th endemic holiday makers have stayed away for weeks the young men have organized protests and believe the numerous migrants make things worse some
7:35 pm
accuse the protesters of racism tensions on the island are high. we want to be clear we are concerned about the mismanagement of the illegal immigrants and the action of our government but we are not racists and we've lived here for years with people from different countries cultures i said with. the increasing tensions between migrants and islanders wary. he came here 12 years ago from mali and now he sees spain as his home graham it works as a social worker and uses his free time to help newly arrived migrants including i'm a do. is a simple. i always tell them it's not as easy as you think when you arrive you understand nothing you need to learn the language you need to get a right to stay status it all takes years. but when i say this to someone in africa
7:36 pm
they respond you also made it and you know different from what. it is that. i do takes one suggestion very seriously he wants to learn spanish and uses his phone to practice spanish garza's have unfortunately been put on hold due to the pandemic but i'm a do has learned to be patient. one cannot expect friend a great job immediately you must take baby steps nothing ever happens once you move step by step. he and his friend still dream of reaching the european mainland and then travelling on to france or germany but their chances look slim as spain is clamping down on migration and sending more and more people back home. so what happens when the so-called dream doesn't materialize is it worth the risk
7:37 pm
taking such a dangerous journey for the unknown on the other side. so many questions on my mind . over the some of these questions come to the onset as we move over to the italian island of sicily my colleague christine 12 on our team met with young africans at their journey to europe and i'm now trying to make a living. in. the city 7 percent is in italy this country is home to many young people who left africa they crossed the scorching sun they braved the unpredictable mediterranean all in pursuit of a better life in europe today were asking if the life they were living here was worth the risk they took to get a lot you're going to start out with you right now what does it take to make it in here to get here. takes a lot of air for the takes a lot of it takes great bravery to make it.
7:38 pm
through the military and but these are the 1st steps it depends on what one piece running from what one wants to seek in in in you are all right chris i'm going to come to you right now and we'll talk a little bit about coming here what you faced what you saw what you experienced. what i came to italy. not just. alone. like. us and most of them now in in the various cornfield africa because it wasn't easy for them it does to do also with luck you know you know like most people live through the sahara desert they also the they went through this the a material where they were not that lucky most people have gone through the sea and most most of them and down there they've been around these drones so i was really really really like lucky to be alive i was right in italy a legend in a calm back to you because i'm picking up that the bright what the reality is this
7:39 pm
different from from the dry. that we have be you know if we see in africa is portrayed on. you know by do t.v. by the social media facebook whatever right mama off we get is suffering because. what are the sources that people are believing the. stories writing what they have brought us what we are speaking now we should be saying we are speaking with the uproar does not really have to decide or this will be looked at the media to any and see around us is that meant to be of course most of all here doesn't exist that's what did do here is to go on to get beat joy in front of a fair lottery and that's really distant for mr right right and i want to come see you ishmael because you tell us what life is like do you drive a ferrari because that's what people think they mean prosperity if in their life in iraq is they see as their life the equality in the hail in hell says because
7:40 pm
in as i'm put in iraq able to be on trade and you are not if you are not what are you going to do you go too far to the ground to log may be only. up to 5 india even in india seats and they are going to give you 25 without food u. conn's if i have that you cannot survive on that in italy here i leave it there because i want to come back see you chris mosul force like immigrants we have pressures from home people call i call paris call from any color like. these can you do the skin you did that did all that they forgot about like you have these like. that you are in a new place you know ishmael so. you you've made a frontier that you're not living the dream and you help me understand why that is the case. and most of us i want beer and sail the appropriate to let us travel
7:41 pm
right because all want to see now broad and paid into the. rufus came and said ok if you want to get a better if. it's intended to 5 debates place for you to enter. and which is not true l.h.o. you are a lawyer and you specialize in migration it's really is has new laws that make it more difficult for people who come through the mediterranean to be able to stay here legally talk to us about that when you asked for international protection until 2002 dozen 18 you were able to ask for 3 kind of protections the 1st 2 kind of protection where the european once the 3rd kind was an italian protection that was getting too many people that were not persecuted from in their county and they were not coming from some countries where there is the war civil war right now is going to be more difficult because if they're not running away from
7:42 pm
a persecution or from a dental scoundrelly down the you know humanitarian protection is not easy to get a protection ok chris you know the journey that you took to get here. crossing the water the desert everything living in the camps. look at your life today right do you reckon it was all worth with it what i have to say what i went through. is not really worth it you know to come to this place to risk your life for the 1st place it's not really worth if you look at body it's ok you know it's not whether it's relevant to come back to you because for somebody. in africa was thinking about doing what you did what would you say to them the amount of money you are going to spend from west africa to get to europe you can use that kind money to start from destroyed and i bet you at the end of see you we see you all solved in our u.s.
7:43 pm
position so was it worth it for you coming here everything you went through for the night. living here today wasn't with it's not their life i'm living in today it's not the kind of life i need a legend with a comeback so you know because in this discussion now what are your final thoughts i want to speak to all politicians and i call them say. you know because they are not looking at the interest the needs the vulnerability that constrain people to my grid because 30 gumbi out to senegal to african political leaders it is convenient even if we die industry it even if we die in the us we can send remittances so i am telling africans who are there that i am guilty for being here if you come here you are opening from your walk you are only in from changing africa so if i am speaking and if you can hear me today i am saying i should be bach and then we should work on what is happening because the future is in africa real question is is the future
7:44 pm
in africa for african is we all slaves we are discriminated we are stigmatized why is africa enslaved to we are for really never people to feel joy is still there the question is who is this beautiful is it for african when we all learn from the from from the from the things that we should try to make up there. so you've heard from them and now we want to hear from you this is the story off of shattered dreams they left africa in pursuit of a better life and they're telling us today they have not found it instead they're saying that the life they've long been dreaming for is back in africa on the motherland it's engage on social media this is the 77 percent in italy. what. i was pretty revealing. thank you christine on the street debate team.
7:45 pm
now if you guys want to watch the full debate you can catch it on you tube channel africa and don't forget to let us know what you think in the comments section let's take a musical pause from. is always sending strong messages across through music this is a brand new song produce a screw sleeve lifo d.w. called combat corruption. yes girl it shouldn't be we'll be asking for muslims in the us through such hard times let me look let me hear you but i'm sad you cut people yes we cut. loose. from this book i. see that. the trap just makes me look to. be
7:46 pm
a good leader as you know. we have to come let them come. to the beach and fight corruption by raising the living standards for our civil service who are less than banished $50.00 a month yet i can understand it no wonder why that over serviceable forgets again in the region fight corruption by check in these politicians we have my cases not yours we get to watch in this infuriated fight corruption like you did the situation if you base it inform the opposition to impeach and to fight corruption it becomes a good way to mediate because if it ever speak you kick it in many ways this may cause me never been in the fish take your view some folks open whole books to spring good shit you will be able to come see that i didn't see them going through such hard times many of the players we knew the man who cut you know yes we cut.
7:47 pm
it but. please let's not go. thanks guys for that great message now so far we've had people sharing their migration stories with us to remind out of the 1000000 reasons why people one place to the oppa. but let's now running to our next story in kenya where we meet a young woman who's created kenya's fast running shoes she gave up a high paying job in new york it's gone in a new challenge back home but get out. many not ally of symbols but anybody close enough. co-founder and chief executive officer of end of sportswear. the you and i was created with a mission to bring their benefits are running back to kenya.
7:48 pm
as actually boyden may who be my dad was in the air force i got on my side international development from that i'm school of economics and the one thing that really blew me away was just how people resort about africa you know like every case study to africa if you're talking about dictatorship africa talking about tagore africa so coming out of the back i felt i needed to change something late days so much of you so much against so much beautiful things happening in africa that were not for the chinese you selected in development i did and they said if i ever did something it would be something that definitely improving development and at the same time uses for its. time to make kenya the potential with all the famous athletes coming from china surely you can do much more than just a few of us being are citizens of our land prices or to be used in wrecking how can their country benefit as a whole. and that's when i got the job with
7:49 pm
a united nations and then i moved to new york i was like so full of like joy i noticed after seeming to make a i am i'm going to change it was like i'm deceased or put you see me and make way out like you and i me. that's the kind of just get that and you stay there until you die and it would have make a great retire and all. you have a dream like goofus and they don't get golden handcuffs because they're just much more to life. there was at an event in south africa i think about a mile into that event but he just basically said if you want to change africa you have to come to the ground you can just do it from a distance at that point actually simply cure talking to me so i basically left the united nations and decided to hand over everything and to just basically take a chance i'm full of my dreams. we had just been just up what does but equally
7:50 pm
there are little people who are laying guy you're making a mistake he's going to make taking this for granted some of the challenges of moving back and if maybe you start you went you've. seen if you can see it had to go back you know i mean had to go back and it isn't really new and that way can't you just do it right there are definitely a lot of concerns in times are right i mean back then you know the police expect the economy's in the door i led there's like there's it's just a matter of that but i only see. if depends on what you see if we get in there i have to do a day where these dogs do on mondays we do whatever and they think you know what you need to do a great story looks like i should grab my purse shoes break some records now as an entrepreneur now value a symbol house clearly creates an image for herself now that brings us to another group of young entrepreneurs who are trying to carve out of their own business coffee is uganda is number one and then exports crop but i'm sure recently the
7:51 pm
country's youth have been sidelined from the industry luckily some young people are now tapping into that industry helping you to wake up and smell the coffee. coffee is going to go. to the country at least a $1000000.00 every day through exports but until recently the industry sidelined young people mostly because they grow the crops and. have access to the eastern uganda. to secure their slice of the cake. i'm going to take you through the. experience you're most welcome. at city for a coffee the coffee rather they sell the experience of making you get. from that tree to the. process. it all starts in the
7:52 pm
fields right cherries are picked and then sorted. out. we're now going to pilot this one you have you both being my sheet which for most of this thread. thank separating the coffee bean from the red cherry allows easy drying especially for specialized copies like espresso. but drying takes a couple of days. when the beans are already been women roast the coffee. according to the something in traditional roasting is a female a fat. then the beans are pounded into coffee powder. and finally a delicious cup of coffee is made. in any community everybody is proud of the product. coke
7:53 pm
you have to look a lot more than 20 years and it's been a great advantage to come up with this idea they use a lot. improve standards of living through this process so it's a big advantage to the community. who needs another young entrepreneur and uganda's capital kampala. gen could have as he is a consulting forester working with unusual. names to keep copy processing jobs in uganda upscaling young people he said of exporting the world need. to think of their domestic with quality so it is a beginning it's beginning to appreciate. by being very good standard by standardizing their process and. over the coffee but edition where we have i young people involved in it is change we are now trying to see in because it's now
7:54 pm
a youth center and kind of. tapping into the millions of jobs in the coffee industry might solve some of uganda's huge unemployment problems. should be all hands on deck in helping address youth unemployment on the continent . and that's how you wrap up the show so what are your thoughts on the stories we've covered so let us know social media platforms or writers on e-mail to 77 i. will leave you now with a very special song it's by and i do hear a musician the chris. you saw him in our street debate he's calling for the respect of my gran's on refugees you know me tommy on the song title of. passion meaning not fish and that's accurate because we're human beings come to later it's life and
