you're watching d. w. news coming up next. how were sports coach on the island of les? suppose he's giving refugees in strength through soccer. that's on reporter. ah, there's little left of the moria refugee camp, unless both more than 12000 people lived here for a while in and around the camp until that burned down in september of 2020 sometime this was denied that the license for years and moria. he doesn't like looking back on a time that was difficult for him to do laundry, was, was filmed the raging blades with his cell phone. he was able to get to safety in time. the. 4

he's returned to moria to see if you can find traces of his life here. but at 1st all he picks up our medical records from former camp occupants. he's shut the door, shut. no, no, no, control of your head. yes . before he fled, ploy was also tortured in his home country. cameroon. he says he didn't get any medical help in moria, and then there was the violence. you weren't even safe in your own tent. became to sledge my fault. we have to fight and you see some scratches in my body. the look on my hands will fort him for within we denied. so until i get on my phone, so we're so skid. then he finds the spot where he used to bed down. this

is mike coff. i remember this is my golf. i. i got it forms pianos. so yvonne gallo spanners is probably the best known football coach on less bus. and poor savior. go thanks to spine is no longer living in one of the camps. but as a member of the elite co soccer team, a local island squad just missed promotion to greece, a 2nd leak this year. that's success. it's thanks to the new team members. 3 young refugees from africa and spinal cord. not everyone approves of his efforts to help refugees on the island walk. some greek parents have already taken their children off of spinal, says youth teams. it was a problem. but i decide okay,

doesn't matter. i'm doing. i'm also a physical educator. so i have to, to teach people not only for sports, but also for me have your work for values for all these things. spinal c major soccer, talent, and paul that would make a professional career possible. but until he's made it in the big league and all the training sessions with spinal off and if he can do the fire at moria spots and his protege have been inseparable when the coach saw smoke rising over the island, he went to look for paul immediately i went down with my god, i took on all the ill, his things and those so bicycle in my and i said to him again because police

was, i don't, i said to him go and they have some waiting for you to kill him. and after some hours, again, we did after training today, all doesn't need to get a ride back to a refugee camp from one of his teammates. now he lives with other players in this former hotel. never again will he have to cope with insect and hours of waiting for food instead, he's got a full meal plan and a proper bed because he's made it into a support program for gifted athletes. paul says he has spawn us and got to think. sure this is my bible. like you can see my name, younger bull on it and this is my e mail. this is my with the i got the bible. the bible is the only thing he has left it after a month long odyssey to escape political violence. and his homeland showed my

burial site in front of me was like a touch heart between these 2 bad is so bad for me. i don't want to talk. yeah. did spawn was helps him forget. and so to soccer, betsy cosmos, as the name of the refugee team. young people come from the car to tip a refugee camp twice a week for practice. for the mostly unaccompanied miners. it's one of the few opportunities to get out of the camp. they say conditions and cut a tape are better than they were in moria, but they are still severely lacking. it can take years for an asylum claim to be processed in greece. the youngsters know that they can get a residence permit increase more quickly if they're successful with soccer ball has showed them the way since he's begun playing. and thirdly,

team and started working as an assistant coach for cosmos. he's become an example. paul really is unhappy that the africans and africans wait separately before practice. much of course, most does more than contribute to understanding among the refugees. and i know i know i know the sports and also promot sympathy among greek for the frequently traumatized foreigners. no, i know, i know we can give them here. we can change their behaviors so we can make them better, better be the best ones. so when they're in the society, the community, it will be very easy for them to speak with local people and local people to check to see that they are just the same with us. they're not different

again, a new players introducing himself to spawn us today. he to flood from cameras most . and if you played before the mind, come on the finish or he's here, he's allowed to join in the end. the response has yet to turn someone away and nobody one on it today spinal st. boiler, having the youngsters focus on conditioning. all of them are working as hard as they can because the president of the thirdly team illegal has said he'd be there. let's get the regular business man was hoping to make good deals with possible tre destinations for talented players. so we get the best. but today he doesn't have anything with him. that would mean a speedy escape from life in a refugee camp. maybe for a residential program, if we are like a who's a registered play can play anywhere in greece anywhere. you know, if he's good enough to play someone, identify, select them is free to go play anywhere you want. so that's,

that's the process we try to help as much as we can. the reality is there's only a small number of players that through yet another shadow in the dreams of the cost . most players all made it for the moment. less post is only supposed to be a stop along the way. he's dreaming of playing for a professional club and a major european city, like in germany or france for like going to the elite cars, cafe and people like seeing him there. but he's also experienced racism. and if you push maybe a good to a coffee shop or this huge is start on in a way like that, you find out why they're going. i want to see they're leaving now. ok. the refugee controversy unless versus continuing the european union is planning

a new center to take them in. but most of the locals are opposed to it as we were against the new candidate. so we don't want everyone coming in. then we're going to look that up. we don't have any factories will work. what am i supposed to do here? if the germans have too much money and they should take them into the polls become used to the fact that not all greeks like to see him playing soccer. and at some moments he misses his family. i think that it was really painful when he visited a training camp with an american player it and came out with a team like i started grain know i look at how they were like luckily for poor and the other soccer players. unless both they still have spun us

. he's tirelessly working on their behalf. even the european soccer association u f. i has in the meantime began to support fc cosmos. in 2015 spinal won the great championship with a youth team from the a g and islands. there was talk of making him the coach of the national youth team, but it didn't happen. maybe because he was known as the refugee coach. meanwhile, the 55 year old says he wouldn't trade his work with the youngsters from the camps with any other job. they fed these 3 races for me and my wife and their brother yet. so as you can see, after 2 years, and now we summon, we have the city here and we saw people growing. we saw people changing, we saw people laughing and when they are coming here, kids and in every age they are very

angry. so and day by day we are looking them smiling, working, talking with the others. and this is nice, this nice un, ah, a former player called us, it's still there for his boys even after he sent them on to other clubs in greece, or they've moved on to other places in europe. they don't forget him. even if the coach couldn't make all their dreams come true, he's brought humanity back to the soccer pitch on the refugee island of let me ah,

this is the show for africa. my jersey is 77 percent this time are st debate come from come on in germany. our focus is on everybody's talking about africa stolen or the wind will finally be returned to the lease to be brought back to the 77 percent on the dw popular gay bar in new york city to targeted to clear communities in uprising. the change the course of gay liberation, stone walls over 50 years ago. we're people started to fly back. today they're sharing their story. paving the way, the gay price. they

will make new love batting things away. i'm not going to like my own everyone with lead a holes in every day. getting you ready to meet the gym and then join me. rachel, do it on d. w. i i do want to welcome to another edition of the 77 percent. this is the show for africa majority the youth like you and i, eddie micah, julia is the name and i'll be driving you through the program. this week, our focus is on art. let's check out what we have for you on the show. street the be takes us, we use them in germany to discuss what happens with that. and then we'll meet africa who are taking the well by stalled out. interesting.

and we'll find out how the bus seems against will be 19 meeting the if you're ready, then let's dive right into it. i'm sure you've been wandering. why? there's been an ongoing discussion about for my colonizers with heading africa stolen artifacts. countries across the continent are still struggling to get back. what originally belongs to them. now in kenya, the secret in god's the drum of the coma community on the country coastline was stolen by british colonial offices more than a century ago. and is today still kept in london's british museum. it is just one of thousands of artifacts which are now kept in museums abroad. the africans once back, the manually as returns every so often to view grooves in shallow on the banks of kenya's channel river. he belongs to the common community, the grooves once house,

the potomac, the crypt, the drum which was stolen by british colonial offices over 100 years ago in the possible elders who had been kaji in a place like visa see the secret place in the forest and hide but not even small children could find their way. the drum or gadget was once reveal, does it become with center of sovereign power? it determines their way of life. i am in busy without it. the grove is no longer sacred and the governing council to reach manuel belongs, has lost most of its authority since then gotcha, was taken. we have been affected because our society no longer has elders like manuel. we have vivid memories of the colonial period,

but they were too young to have set eyes on the drum themselves. after taking the gods from the coma, it was shipped abroad and kept in storage in london, british museum. the homeless king mac moran youngest of the 7th and the elders in his kingdom. i will read the drum will never return. i think i'd like a new magine if i had the miss of westminster, the parliament in england. if i had miss lang some way and they using it as a full story, what the british people it would be sacrilegious to them, it's this isn't drum on savages, but it is a which is not meant it has a means it has some function. why should you deny an object? its functions like the many communities across the african continent have been

demanding for the return of the london cultural ah, fearing kenya's national museum. an exhibition is taking place the invisible inventory and is questioning the results of the object. ah, like visual for this like this one is like these empty boxes because like when you go to a museum, you don't expect to see empty cases. the missing objects include items such as mass shield, smoking, pine cones, grade markers, drums, flying, all the invisible inventory program, recorded like 32000 missing object plan was to create a database of canyon objects that are spread out across the cultural institutions across the world. because because kind of in no way it's object sign what they are,

we decided to visualize every object as a shipping label. because for us, every object that left can was shipped out. right. and honestly, we've covered all the was, but this is only like 2000 the british museum has one of the largest collections in the world of cultural artifacts, given the breath of its colonial empire. while other former colonial powers have already begun the process of returning looters after britain is still dragging, they've always, you'd cross the laws against movement of objects, which is really strange that you know, you take objects from people and then you create laws to prevent them going back so now it's if it's illegal to the tunnel, but since it was illegal to stick them right. tell minor a digital specialist was shocked by how much of the restitution debate and even the actual return of objects takes place behind closed doors. she co founded open

restitution africa, an online platform that puts together data on restitution and brings african physicians to the forefront of the debate. especially when you look at technology by say we are saying that more people can access this information. more people who are not in expert cycles, let's say, academics, or even in museums, if people who own to attend instagram and have nothing to do with museums or hated, can actually access this information. and i think that's powerful in, in creating awareness that yes, there is material that has been taken to macaroni for commas. king recently got communication from the british museum that they would like to talk a huge step forward from when he 1st lot of initial request in piano to go. his community, which numbers, roughly 200000 live in one of the poorest regions of kenya. many no longer here to the old traditions in question, the relevance of the drum today. yet,

macaroni reminded adam about it's important. it is really a very important center for our people. but in the museum, it's just an a momentous attraction. here it is bound to the life of all this. this is our property. if it was acting, then it would be time to assemble not by for so many high to low food returns to pay or life. i king macaroni and manually as opposed to return to the old days will not be every year under the lash mangle trees by the river. their hopeful that their society, distinct identity will one day be resurrected an era for coma. one it's really about restoring a community identity, isn't it?

now the investable inventories exhibition you saw in the report is a collaboration between the national museum in kenya and 2 museums here in germany . this takes us next to cologne's router straus yas museum, leaving reason awareness about objects and outwards were starting from africa and other parts of the world doing colonial times. at the same time, the museum itself is in possession of many of these objects. now to delve deeper into this, michael e christine wound to i went there to lead a very engaging debate. the hello everyone. these here are some of african most prized artifacts. they're called the beginning bronzes there from the ancient kingdom of building, which is today known as it will state in southern nigeria. they were stolen by bridge soldiers in the colonial era and sold to buyers in the west. then they've

been on display in museums in north america and in europe. now today, st debate is coming to you from the ross and shelf us museum in the german city of cologne. that is because this museum is home to 94, been in bronze, but also germany said to become the 1st country to begin returning the been in bronzes to nigeria. and so, you know, i want to pick up with you because you're from been in city and state, you know, with thing or 2 about how to make opinion bronze. tell us what makes them so special. they're beyond arts, the core charger, the story of my people. so it's not just looking at t t s, piece of art culture of things we're taking to our language room. we're taking languages, we're taking was tripped off of a cloth in of our way of life. right. so it is beyond the i'm going to come to you now, and that's it because you have been the museum director at this museum since 2019

the conversation about returning the bronze is, has been taking place for very long time. why do you think it's taken germany this long to finally say that it's going to return the bronze is to niger i would return the creation. why is germany at the ready to give back one of the most important african harry teaching european museums. and i think because there is no emotional ling recently, jerry, or for example, the relation between germany and the media because of the genocide fear of genocide in the trench into 20th century is much more difficult. that's why, for example, at this moment, germany is ready to receive cute did being in brown says, and for example, the british museum in london is absolutely refusing even refusing the discussion about so paloma. i'm going to come see you now because this is introducing this idea of connection. that's why it may be harder or easier. why do you think it's

taking germany this long to return these bronzes? i think had taken so much time because germany. oh, even other european countries have a huge problem mostly in acknowledging the colonial history and the code, you know, colonial paused and the colony on the 3 of the museum as an institution itself. and was acknowledging that museums, institutions that actually produce races in reproduce, reproduce racism in a way. i think this is something that has just, maybe, maybe started to or that people are even more demanding, right. and asking into, demanding for institutions to consider that. and to think critically about their own history, right? i want to pose that question to you and say, how do you feel as somebody of you know, somebody who's got affiliations to the african continent. when you walk into museums and you see items that belong africa, for example, that, you know, people on the continent went back. how does it make you feel? the thing is, it's an expression of power. it's the same expression of power that it used to be

506-8208 couple of 100 years ago. so this is why i think that it needs to be brought back. not only because people need it over there, but because it here, it actually does harm in giving the wrong image of african cultures or giving people still the possibility to dwell and to believe in these colonial ideas of possession. and this and occupation of dominance. yeah. okay. so i'm going to come back to you and say, what function should the bending bronze is have when they are returned to niger? i saw one of the walks day and i could recognize the dow was taken from a shrine. so we always talking about museums and museums. some walks were broken off the dos of people's houses by the end of the museums. here you see a low pod there. what is low power to you? it means something to our feet more than just an animal. i don't know if your

parents truly have a connection like a culture, a connection to it while we're talking about how we will keep our own property, if the house to give you back. jerry, i do want to come to you because you are a historian. do you think that we will be able as a continent to preserve these artifacts when they are returned to us in a way that ensures that they will be the centuries to come? we can accuse the opinions of whatever we like, but they have kept these items. will we do the same in africa? will, will we still have been in bronzes, into 3 centuries if those been in bronzes and other artifacts are returned to the country? absolutely, i mean they came from earth, so if you were able to preserve 10 percent of so many generations and pass them on from one generation to the next until they were looted, why won't we not be able? when we get them back to be able to do the same process, not only been in bronze, but most of the fact that are still in the museum, this is just a part of it. but the, so march of in here will be a,

standing on the seller. you know, the so much that is coming from the whole of the african continent. and it just kept somewhere, you know, in paper is all, you know, wrapped somewhere. and then this history goes away, you know, we kind of have and then our colonial amnesia within the african continent of the teens that they took. and what actually that means for us as young african people that we have our histories lying somewhere invisible in duck sellers. i do have a question for you. yeah, it's germany going to returned every single than in bronze in its position. actually it is. it is really this is the decision to nigeria to ok. we want to have everything back. i would say every so we can into preach this paper, these documents on very different levels. my interpretation is now we have this paper and actually everything could return to nigeria. ok. and no, i'm going to give you the last word now, because this history goes away, you know,

we kind of have and then our colonial amnesia within the african continent of the teens that they took. and what actually, that means for us as young african people that we have our histories lying somewhere invisible in duck sailors. i do have a question for you. yeah. it's germany going to return every single than in bronze in its position. actually it is. it is really, this is the decision to nigeria to say ok, we want to have everything back. i would say every so we can into preach this paper, these documents on very different levels. my interpretation is now we have this paper and actually everything includes returned to nigeria. ok, and now i'm going to give you the last word now because it's just germany so far that made the commitment to return the bronze to a number of countries. the brits which have the biggest collection, the british museum, they've not said anything about returning those funds is what is your message to

country that still hold onto these artifacts? if you'd already turn this walk, you're not taken away from mos, you're taking everything that makes us off. that's where you're taking and or that's what has been taken before, right? return in the art, it's just one way of saying we did wrong. have this start to learn it by your people and that's i think it's something that everybody can relate to. and that does it for today's st debate here in the german city of cologne. but the conversation really doesn't end here. of course, we're interested to know what you think about what we've discussed here today. is africa's stone or not? is it going to be safe when it just returned to the continent? and perhaps, what is your message as 2 countries who have not quite taken the decision that germany is taken to return to africa? what's rightfully belongs to the continent. so for myself with the moon or the team has been great having you with us looking forward at seo engagement in the coming

section. bye for now. the thanks a lot, christine, for a very insightful discussion. while countries like germany and the us, how commit that to retaining the bronzes. i will keep you in the loop on how fast things develop. now, if you want to watch a longer version of database, you can catch it on our youtube channel. some of you already sent us your comments, let me just get to a couple of them. stop in with on the my clang, who wrote, i stand against the return of the arts because it is now out dated. they should pay for all the stolen african object financially. ok. interesting one that thank you very much for that. then donny, donnie wrote, we need to change the merits of the taught us in history class. that is and restore our african heritage for future generations. so these i a couple of the comments we had, keep that to be going on. you page. now we are not done talking about art that

school meet 3 artists from nigeria and kenya, whose art will blow your mind, especially if you're into science fiction. in the art of cyrus could bureau discard a technology, is given new life. a bands and radios become space, age communication devices. wrapping your bicycle called walk. mom. i turned the sculptures that could have been left here by aliens civilization, the series of eyeglasses called the sun. it's me to be famous. instructed from trash collected on his travels and mash up of different cultural traditions for me after that is for future late it's a combination of different culture, this and my to different from like global. but it's something

that you can see more often can least move more a shift. no, it's more awful. pizza be any photographer osborne lataria reimagined kenya's, legendary mouth independence vegas as high tech optician. to help over throw colonialism, apple futurism is about reimagining, an african past either stolen or forgotten. all african countries from tokyo were colonized and people didn't get to settle. see that history in the history or a lot of that history was not documented or was data rolling images to find the mostly negative view of africa seen in western media issues. but our issues don't,

don't talk to them over and over t from 90. he's war this tories that we can tell that sort of give a different perspectives my, what the owners both confident the message will be. a boy's perception of africa across the continent in nigeria. after futurism is also taking root. a new generation of african artists is looking at their own culture from a new angle, common folk artist unity, mckindoe's credits, black panther, aqua cup before now i've been known to be for about the 3rd what called 3 black pine to bring seats to the 4th floor and i think was the power that is completely loaded with that knowledge. it was mind blowing. africans everywhere were wow, black panther might have brought half ro futurism to the mainstream. but mac kinda believes the next wave of storytelling will be homegrown. that when we

talk about africa services, it's like an intersection of 45 things. technology tires, the show is shunt african itala, jewish african traditions and african culture. the culture in itala geez. or regional. attentive from yes. because we are more dictated whether in comics, movies, music, or design, the art of afro futurism combines tradition with imagination, provision, a brighter future for africa and the world the that's right. creating a bright future for africa on the well, some cool stuff that the east and west combining to give us the best. but let's the in my area use lead creative hub on training center. in my degree is using modern

technology ideas, exchange and doing our capital to unleash the potential of young nigeria and photographers and filmmakers. my degree, the federal capital of nigeria is born. i state over the past 10 years, the fight against the terrorist group of bulk of rom, has repeatedly up ended people's lives. perhaps the most fertile ground for young creative thought ups. and yet the city has a small emerging star help seen entrepreneurs like mohammed to see a huge potential. and how much is the founder of the co development hub or cd in my glory. this is where he sees the future of the regions job since 2018. the hub is become a training center for tech in previous a meeting points for creative young people. and a lead for digital story teller have done so many as an allusion and innovation program for young people to build on the ideas and also to expand it to generate ideas, but not only to generate ideas, but also to see how they can be

a benefit to society using the ideas without much support from people so far more 100 and his team of change over $1000.00 people in strategic communication, graphic design and healthy. they also help young people like the team shami realize their career goals. so in all of their sense, my plans as to be a wedding photographer. i have passion, but he'll go for a long. but i didn't get to know how it is. delight compositions, angles. i don't know about them at 1st, but know that i know about them. i am very happy that my pictures of the most compelling to be assigned for theory classes, mohammed and his team support filmmakers and spoken word artists swing that productions to the next level. and generate social change across nigeria, the when i was a behave let one engineers me, this is a disease that has been killing people, not based on gender. lee jones,

also. all right, we'll call for god's sake. i'll go to pink and you make on stuff. hopefully won't come in any i don't want you to understand you are talking or press the window open . so we do. have you ever had to watch too much additional decide to insecurity in the region. how much? because it's jeremy vitalize ne nigeria creative drive. so all hands on deck to be the challenges in life for a better future. now, i'm sure we all looking forward, we call it and then the future right for that to happen. we have to take back scenes when we have a chance to many people have concerns about taking them. so let's help ease your fears with a video that explains why vaccines us the for you. am i, rene vaccines against cover 19 of faith for you and your genes?
