in the change, the africans mega. what's the story here? what do they have for their future? c, w dot com for megacity multimedia insight. click enter. hello guys. welcome to your favorite youth program. the 77 percent. this is the platform for africa, young majority. i, eddie mike, a junior foster, you'll see belt and ride with us. more than 60 years ago, many african countries gained the independence from european colonizers. but how independent are we? and why does it even matter to asked the young generation. now we'll be digging deeper into that question on the show, but yes, what's coming up?

our reports are either kamani talked to the young canyons about nuclear. yeah, there's a drop. i drop the few lines on what it means to be africa cynically is kinda about the stuff before the console. now, east africa have been ramping up efforts to expose etc. those chinese culture, particularly through language in kind of, for example, monitoring is offered at the selective language in schools. in uganda, it is now become palsy subjects in some schools. so is this in mia exchange of culture is always there much more to it. 25 years old. andrew meant to tie is not a free to get his transcripts to be graduated in december. he's been helping us on the family farm and like many long term, recently enter the job market was looking for works. but andrew hasn't.

he speaks mandarin? this decision came as more chinese contract has flooded kenya to build it's rude, and he thought learning the language might give him an edge, an experience that would be revealing. my name is andrew in english for the turn it to under. so this is the name i used to go by even a schooling class in exams, and he used to reuse. and over the years there's been a steady trickle of chinese cultural and language centers opening in kenya. many like andrews who offer scholarships and in some cases, high achieving students are even sent to china for competition. but the content of and with classes maybe to parents, the instructor was teaching more than language. he was this that i think he started by showing us teaching that the chinese history, chinese festivals, chinese poems and songs. for instance, if you choose to do french, you might not need to learn all of the things pertaining the history and culture.

you may just need to learn how to communicate, but in chinese language you get to, they want to become like them. they're currently $59.00. confucius institute right across 44 african countries institute together with existing economic ties to china, could nip the country, reach over the continental nairobi based journalist right extensively on after chinese relation. she argues that while the chinese government may have a firm economic group on the continent, the most significant partnership being created outside board. i think the important thing to understand when we talk about the kind of chinese culture that is exported is that it is a very specific cocktail of mainstream. generally mainstream han culture that has passed through the prism of the c

p trying to come this party. but at the same time, not everything that comes here in kenya that, that makes its way here from china is pastor that lenses the party. there are a lot of day to day interactions between individual that i feel like as a much more rich and interesting to look at because those things are not mediated by the state. in bustling a ruby, it's hard not to see how these more formal intercultural interactions have influenced everyday life. the city has already played, who to chinese can join us performances, which are growing popularity, especially among the younger generation. 3 china towns have popped up across and i will be seen in 1980 offering traditional chinese cuisine with a tenant. back in l. doris. andrew is under no illusions. he knows that a one sided cultural exchange is no exchange, but he's also in need of a job. and he's that means working in china says that's exactly what you do.

you know, that's very interesting. i'm just wondering if it would be possible for people in china to learn african languages like swahili or tree. i guess we'll just have to see how things pan out now talking about the influence or not of foreign powers in africa. we had the streets of abu jap asked young people this question. after 60 years of independence from british rule, how really independent is my day to day arrived on paper, i think in the question of how independence we, what we've been able to use our independence for. we have our government, we have, we make decisions ourselves. and we have a will, will lead to not only does without actually being accident, anyone for permission to do what we are doing for me. i think we are really

independence. just like how you know when you've been present for me would be for a very long time. even when yes we in your mind the scene like, you know, still increasing, you would take some time for them to sort of realize i'd be asking if we, if you look back on the plus years, you'd realize that things continually got worse. so i don't think is equation of independence, but we'll be meeting with use it. we've not been in as much as we could have. we are not so independent because where we are from what we are known for. we kind that's took a step back because we are trying to be like our colonial masters. there's some form of neo colonial listening, but i don't like to say that people's face exist. i mean, it might be happening subconsciously, but i think people are trying to take advantage of us because market for me. and joshua is the potential that we have so way that people take advantage of it or we

take advantage of it is a different question. i think the best thing we can do is, is continue to evolve. that was helped various countries. i'm a country like india for example. doesn't have any natural resource such but the people is what's of really help the country pool. and now they're more or less it will paula does this returning confidence returning to us as niger in which i find very interesting to see and i think it should continue. i think people should be taught more about where they are from and thoughts to appreciate this land this place. so we have had the voices of young nigerians. some argue that africa still dealing with the effect of colonialism. but who's really to blame for that? and what can we, the young generation do to break free and cause our own pop?

our report that you did commodity put the question to young cajuns in our street debate and i will be the, the 77 percent is in a row, be the capital of kenya. and it is in this city that the kind of flag went up. we were declared independence, but how independent is kenya and indeed the rest of africa. this is the question that we're asking today on our subject, neo colonialism. why is it still a thing in africa and who is to blame? but before we go too far, let's come to nigella. who is a political analyst in the right to hear in kenya. how would you describe new colonialism? what does it mean to you? i think that coming from a gave us the best definition for leo colonialism which is late stage imperialism what you have is indirect influence of political decision making of economic decision making. ok, so let me come to the farmer right here, mr. michael, keeping it because your firm, as you mentioned, is over a 100 years or suddenly older than the nation of kenya. do you feel like you'll

beholden to the person who began this farm? absolutely not it. and i believe we need to both the colonize our minds and our hearts as, as kenyans. we really shouldn't be complaining too much about your colonialism. let me come back to angela. i want to challenge you basically, based on what michael has said. we should be talking about near colonization right now. look at me, unfair view from where doing it on our own when we're talking about colonization and we're talking about imperialism. we're not talking about individual experiences . we're talking about a systemic issue. yes, you're able to grow your coffee and you run your coffee tours, but is the price for example, that you're, that you're selling your coffee at reflective of the labor that has gone into producing that coffee? or is it reflective of political priorities that i've been said elsewhere? exploitation of power disparities where the profit of certain regions and certain parts of the world is the very definition of new colonialism. okay, i'd like to come to schafer because i just want to, you know, piggyback on what naturally saying, but it is a system and it is explosive. but we are

a politician. the people who should be at those international tables making better deals for, i think this doesn't work for us anymore. kind of struggled with the concept political leadership that is dysfunctional that is explosive, that it's violent. that's discriminatory. there's also discuss that stems from a neo colonial space of leadership that excludes people from the leaders, which is putting the people into this vicious cycle of constantly seeing. we need better, we need better, but nothing ever changes because the bubble of and the shield of near colonialism is so thick. so we're saying that, oh, my goodness that the, the new colonialism wants that can you seeping into basically every single effect of our lives. politically, economically, even how we think y'all socially. and i'm just wondering from tony, in what ways the new colonialism still have an impact in the way we are govern. i mentioned the french very briefly. the french of never mentally left africa ever. you can see what goes on in the congo least. the highest glory of african evolution

is to become a frenchman, or mademoiselle. the french has never lost document tell it here. but one might argue that kenyans have not lost that mentality. we are, after all having this conversation in english. no, but ken is a very different country. we may be confused there, but don't address immediately. political leadership. all new colonialism relies on somebody having the lead in their pocket. it in that case, is your great then with your own government. oh, with the colonial government. that created structures in which we are governed, as we are, that is very lazy. we also tend to blame the british. we are all the strength all the time. we keep complaining about all white people, maybe to mean europe, young people in the 2 of these, these the new colonies that say now, all right, i'd like to get some more views on the site. the problem came with a single article foundation, movies, country. like if we're talking about export, we didn't center canyons, other people who live in this land,

we are in. so what we are experiencing now is a result of what happened then. so the west is still to blame, but we reproduce what they did. but is it fair? let me ask schaefer here. is it fair to sort of lump the whole western world into, you know, the white saviors. they're trying to come and save us. we don't need their help. is there room for collaboration or is it just going to be this bipolar dialogue? well, i think i think room for collaboration that existed that as assumed that there seem to exist has existed in their white terms. that even as we collaborate, we're collaborating with in their own structures within the agreements within their own, in gauge meant within their own requirements. right? why people, what we wanted to enforce and to carry forward their whiteness and their supreme se we should be able to enforce and carry forward our blackness, our black supremacy. but it's never going to happen because we don't have the leadership that is capable to reimagined our own governance and engagement out of

the 3 that is most new colonial. but the necessary tool is this way to say to maintain this, again, we are playing here and sometimes it gets to this, it would take way to grants that i want something specific to us. your government never. i've won a lot of the scholarships and so and don't lose weight. but you tell your story in your own way. i feel like, what's the way to sentiment? i never beside the boat to be colonized by the british of all the colonies. this was history and you know we had this, please, please, please contextualize that we will never be side to because that's the we real politic of the wheel. history had really been colonized like the belgians they didn't give a damn, but i'm not going to go and keep repenting about a teenage name. yes, yes, yes, yes. and i'd like to give, i'd like to give me, let me come to shape because she's so exhausted. her hands are on her head, i'm about to give up because the thing is this raid. so the context is when we, when i hear people talk about, they don't have

a problem. and having been colonized, i question, how deep are you in this neo colonial struggle that you've actually embraced your, your abuse and made them feel made her feel that she was right for doing what they did to tony is saying that the fax can be changed. that the world order at the time was, as it was, the was order was white. people stealing from black africans. that was the work order. i think sometimes if you speak very carelessly and very casually about very fundamental things that up was that in the message and i really don't appreciate it . ok, tony, do you agree with the charge that you are so deeply neil colonized yourself that you don't see why your utterances could have been that is absolute bollocks. yeah. let me use b to languages. so people who are more in your colon, that just looks because read you created in this way. yeah. it's like those people who fail in life and keep talking about their father was an alcoholic, or their mother never loved him enough. and be like that to you must lose the

victim mentality about the british suspicion which he has in this country. we started with a very critical question. neil colonialism. why is it still in africa? well, the answer is the law history. and who is to blame for it? apparently we all are. thank you for watching the flow. now that's what i call eddie bate. so should we keep drowning in the past or swim towards a new future? what's your view on new colonialism and its impact on african countries? now we would definitely love to hear from you, so pay us a visit on youtube to watch the full discussion and keep the debates going. yes, a different perspective from one part of the continent. wrap up fine. one bid. boy you handle basin. easy to send down to open media and independence. 500 bit boy is

his take away africa fans. oh oh. this is because we don't know what's the region really out there that it was, but i'm proud of it. it sounded by the met because like a d, as in bob from his name, god, the people the slow, the cold or the not that doesn't even if you got a predefined just couldn't and then it's how but just by took up the bills of happening elsewhere they've been to the american president of the same company. what i think is not a black man's by they came hi, the good thing probably. i can go to india, you know, to african team comes do keeping people fed up with the veto view and why? yeah, only blacks always the next. oh ethnic opening. that was so that

you opened biting people to stay on the weakness and even today, but the was even a woman and men in your neighborhood in this with deep in the school job. but the boys working from the boy was wrong. and this last minute till bowles hills and the question was, go by the rules of those guy. that is great please. oh no. the member district when we have been in the now when i think and i don't know what's with this route f, begin bound to be. but the threat, it just is only hop of bit style and said the hardest words when it was all a lot to help the chicken says this person to be off the words after they suffered,

they'll start to so those are really deep lyrics. it's a good reminder to learn from history, so those traumatic events never repeat it. now musician l sumbawa has also penned strong words on this issue. so it's a child when have family moved from cumberland to germany, the into play and history of both countries reflect that electro inspired beats sound arch meets old electronic beat alpha and by le pend and produced you had to be in cameroon. off the painful breakup. she says women and camera ruling what traditionally treated with more respect before the european colonialists are going and isn't had such an impact, but also people mentality. they were purposely raising also the culture of the

people stumbling over imagery of a black man of 21st century. i couldn't swallow my pride trust. i try, you know, elsa barlow was 10 when she lift cameroon and moved to germany along with her 2 brothers. their mother wanted to complete her doctorate at a german university. coming here, it was a dream, a small african child. white culture is on know a t, v 's everywhere. it's the norm is the standard. so when you know, as a 10 year old that you go into europe, it's like the sugar candy please. but she was the only black girl in a small town in southern germany. she soon experienced the effect of racism and ignorance on teacher in terms of where the resources come from. and how did well come to europe in such an amount. it came from the colonies and it's

really insane to me to be in this world and go to school. so many years when a teacher supposedly about the world you're going to be living in and leave out this huge part of history. and when she was 20 elson, viola decided to return to come a room to reconnect with her roots. she channeled her experiences into music. she discovered a new science or her world in the recording process, inspired by her home countries rich culture. new new by le now spends most of her time in germany. she lives with a young daughter in berlin known as the capital of electronic music. but africa remains a strong part of the mix. bada has found a way to bring both worlds together on this track, she samples speeches of the pen, africanist and 1st gun named president choir main crew ma, now,

independent, now independent not by law, feels at home in berlin. she has discovered a space for herself, somewhere between her german upbringing and her come a rooney and heritage. it's a healthy mix, she says, and it's something she helps to pass on to her daughter. a can be a healthy mix and why not? i have a dream that one day africa in europe will have a truly mutually beneficial relationship. thumbs up. if you agree, i show you to. now let's take you to a hidden african tressa. talk the way in this in the galleys. customized region is a provincial capital. the control graffiti artist can buy by. she was around, is small home town along the shores of the river, the hello, my local bank of america. my name is robert mccafferty, artist. yes,
