oh, hello guys. this is the 77 percent. the platform for africa, the fleet issues and share ideas. you know, or this channel, we are not afraid to capture delicate topic because population is growing and young people clearly have the solution. the future belongs to the 77 percent. now, every weekend on d. w with this is deed of the news africa coming up on the program. why are coups on the rise

in west africa, the number of military takeovers in recent years. i've raised concerns about the state of democracy in the region about what our regional bodies like echo us doing about this. also i had live gradually returns to normal in south africa as new on the current infections from it. so what can other countries land from the south african experience of fights in japan, demik in tanzania, an unacceptable number of women die given birth or shortly afterwards. but in one rural region, things are dramatically changing for the better class. need arise. just hop on in kenya, we meet a woman breaking down barriers as a motorcycle ride up in a male dominated industry. and i handled the now called phase in the after a couple of nations. it's all excitement us football fans hoped she had the team on all the way to the tough.

ah hello, i am eddie micah junior and you are welcome to the program. not long after the new year begun another west african country, a mouse yet in new attempted, cool. the government of beginner fossil said last week that it had are better to plot by armed forces to take over the country. i remember that last year there were military takeovers and molly, as well as in guinea, the country of chad, which is also in the rest of sale zone, saw a non democratic transition of power. ah, the omens had not been good in the keener fossa. back in november, before they attempted to, their protest is took to the streets to vent their anger at the government and its inability to protect them from jihad, his violence. at the time the un said it was concerned about volatility in the

country and more of the military against trying to take over. now it seems, the government dodged a bullet quite literally. on january 13th, ministers announced that they had uncovered a plot by group of soldiers and civilians to destabilize institutions. they said they had to neutralize the threat. for now at least, was you do usually don't do p as a to day 15. people have been detained. this includes from the military, is fell from 2 officers, 7 non commissioned officers, and one soldier deemed it as well as 5 civilians. as a pc, said sousa, fisher, emily turned doodle series of crews are currently high in west, in central africa. in the last 18 months that been for including 2 in molly alone,

their military jumps at 1st is power in 2020 to and what they said was corruption and weak leadership. initially, military leaders promised to hold elections. but they've, in fact a transitional government and suggested they could run the country for the next 5 years. 7 in neighboring guinea, the democratically elected president, alpha con day, was also deposed by the military last year. he, too, was accused of corruption in danger, also saw a crew of swords, the son of president adjuster, b c's power aft. his father was killed on the battlefield in cross joining me now. is jelly abbey found out of whitey? a think tank in west africa? hello sir. thanks for your time. so what is it about west africa that's triggering these recent calls. well i think it's always important to you know,

to remind out the country of the continent and even within origin like west africa, of her own political trajectory. and so when you comment on record, for example, in malley, it is not the same thing as comments english he comes and he is of course been guinea. so i think we have to be cautious about taking these groups as something that can be generalized as are trained in west africa, where he said ali, a trend of democratic regression in, in virginia. but i would not necessarily take the case of molly, for example, as an example of that because molly's facing your security crises and vehicle was not a surprise in a country like that. okay. but, but then still on that, what is given rise to coups in the region than you think? i think the many issue is the way the countries are governed. i think that when we talk about democracy everywhere in the world, we have to recognize that it is something that it builds. and that is something

that we did linked to give a capacity of a political system to produce security, to produce economic and social benefit to the people. so when you do have a democratic system, we have a regular election, but we, you who don't have a sense that the state is providing security is providing jobs for you. of these providing economy and social development from people buckley, who have a failure in the belief in the democracy systems. and i think that used to give a critic for the military to enter in the political scene and to say that we can bring especially security back the best place to, to bring what the people needs. and i think that is a, that's a major issue. so original bodies like a co us and the a you don't seem to be able to force cool lead us to attend to democratic ways. why is that a you and they asked, how do you love to other protocols on democracy and good governance. but there are

more effective in condemning military coups done in enforcing the governance by, you know, by the rulers, as including civilian rulers, that we have in many part of the continent which have been there for the kids. and you is not able to actually force will leader also to provide a different kind of particular practice in their own countries. so you cannot really expect leaders because at the end of it go out and do the same thing a, b, u at the end. it is the head of state who made the those who made decisions. and what we think is a lack of credibility of those organization. now, people don't believe in the capacity of it was in west africa, for example, to leave a democracy because they considered bosom. they did decision themselves are not good example of the move at the governance in their own country. you know, it is that prevention is better than kill. so how can regional bodies then help

prevent such clues from happening in the 1st place? i think we have to have a more i was see a must of his gated view of what is prevention of familiar free gloves. i think we have to recognize that what the countries of origin need is not only election is not only actually democracy. it is also state that word for the interest of the peoples. and so you cannot only condemn recoup, and you know, try to prevent military to safe buy were if you are not working on changing the way because we are govern politically, but also we couldn't mccauley if you don't constantly did. they could. i mean, if you don't, you know, give the sense that you are governing for the people, then we will have, i'm afraid, always critics, for military rulers, to say is power. and i think the big prevention would be to work on been structural values. the governance system in our country. ok, due to time will leave it had to be found out the west african thing town y p.

thanks for your insights. now, does that africa after a spike and coven cases, fueled by the owner can vary. and the number of new infections there is falling rapidly. more importantly, the only one we've had so far lead to few hospitalizations. and last, that's in that country than previous waves. as a result, thought africans breathing the collective sigh of relief. and i hope for that life can get back to normal to day is an important day, was the pedal, highly born in 2 years ago. financial problems and the pandemic forced him to close his bar and dressed rent and kate towns, kylie chuck township. but now he's fine in the re opening over it does cost us a lot of things that we need to put your eggs in different buckskin. and also you need to try and think outside the bose because i mean, for me, i don't test the storm from whatever bed situation that i mean i only look for

positive things that i can do instead of complain. after nearly 2 years, most locked down, restrictions were lifted, including in that liqueur. few tourists have once again been pouring into the country. they had been mass cancellations following the discovery of the army crow variant. life is slowly getting back to normal. here in cape song was decreasing numbers in you covert infections data from south africa suggests although omicron is much more infectious. the amount of people that were admitted to hospitals was much lower than during previous waves. many. yeah, hoping that we're seeing the beginning of the end of the pandemic. i so wish that i won't even hear the name po, but that's what we're wishing for today. everyone going, i've been allowed connect thing going, i've side with daddy now, the how and i hope that god is actually the final thing of this marriage to see

slash enjoyment. this actually happened as the i'm so happy that the business is roommate people to start making money out of officially open way lost as these di. i hate them business. i'm glad that we can get to come here and enjoy. many scientists also optimistic despite the low vaccination rate by religious dwarf gang plaza says that many south africans had all been infected with the corona virus before the only true waste hospital data show that a prior corona, virus infection, or vaccination, provides protection against severe illness. also with the army from various women that i'm as if you're too nice to be here when you get to a situation like here we're nearly everyone has had cove it or has been vaccinations, then you can relax and come on to hit off at bonham. and of course, on the other hand, it is summer here on the 4th wave happened mostly over the long school breaking at

equals in truth in ah, no one wants to think about more mutations right now in the middle restaurant and bar. certainly not illness, he believes he already has big plans and wants to expands to other cities. he believes that the prospect was on africa. once again, the good you're watching didn't use africa still to come meet the canyon woman grabbing up her motorbike. ashy breaks down barriers and how is your country performing in the africa cup of nations? we'll talk about what to expect in cameroon. i had of the knockout face my fest in tanzania, women die in child, beth, and often the i babies with them fought too often. this mostly due to poor basic health care to in pregnancy and delivery place in the country towards the bottom of

global rankings, fault martino mortality. but things are gradually changing for those living in towns. and he has c v u region. kabul and tune guy and her daughter meiza, a lackey to be alive when the baby came in, tonga was curd though both day grown. annie little lan with lan, i labor pains started around for a m. and at 5, my husband took me to the hospital on a bicycle on the pick up allison baton. but when we arrived, we found the clinician was looking after some one else and there was only one room with the wind in extended. so i gave birth outside the building without any help request ma'am, said oh. and then as mat in a motel it re, it is one of the waste in the world. the national bureau of statistics put it at 556-510-0000 live live things, or even with he in barrel rossimer region. pregnant women simply don't have the

basic healthcare which will save their lives before. now women who came here use the room in this building. there was only one bed and no running water. women who came after us, we'll have to find somewhere i said, to have their babies. you can imagine that there is go from fictional, high, not only are tear, but even in there. and that building over there were the only washroom women who are just give a beth, had to walk all this way to get the toilet and washing facilities sees a change. and now am rif image, african hath get charity, set up. there was an susie myself deliver his project in 2017. it is built a new clinic with clean water washrooms in toilets and several maternity beds. there are so 3 health workers now before there was just one quick little afraid of

them is gone. now ferrying people around on the back of a motorcycle taxi is big business in kenya, more people i said to work us bought, i bought our drivers across the country than in any other profession. but the vast majority our men are despite this, some women are rubbing out the motor bikes and breaking down barriers on i will be correspondent for alex marina met with one of them. kenya has 1400000 taxi by grade of just 300 of them. women jacqueline are, we're is one of them. like many she land on the job plans. i'm going to moving into bed. i ferried my 1st lion and after a short distance we both fell. when he told me not to worry, we picked up the motorbike and continued with our journey. 3 years down the line, he remains to be my most loyal customer. and i got a motor bike taxi known as a border here, right?

as seen as it up and jody, most people would see it's not job for a woman. what you might know were against that they said they would be ashamed to see their mom ferrying on a motorbike. and it's not only the traffic that can be done, sir. i'm going to that one via sometimes you get mail. customers don't want to pay . they want to have sex with you instead. i mean, when that happens, i call my male colleagues and they come and shame the men. he then agrees to pay and we both walk away. i get that a lot of somebody and jacqueline is popular among her customers and colleagues about how can get out of attention. has so many customers that she, she has them with the old one to be texted by her and people often ask me where she is based when they see her on the road. the asks, so that she can carry them all, but i bought on and she's a good read on the road. she writes, if you,

how bike has gordon was whether or not, then jacqueline is proud of her 50 record whether 3 years she's been writing in that time. i've never been arrested nor have i hit any one or had an accident. after a long day on the road, she returns home and takes on her other road in life as a mother, exactly as 2 daughters are in school, keeping them there is a priority. the lights became harder for the family last year when their father died. oh no longer, i see him struggle to make sure we have food and that our school fees are paid. it's hard for her because she's both our mom and our dad. she asked just about enough to make i n meets her focus is on the future. oh, not that i hope my kids will have a better life, a good life, even when they're done with school. i pray that they will have a great future so that they get good jobs and help me as their mom was at work. she focuses on that road. she sees,

a pleasure sending that with one of the info. mm hm. but the country has struggled to reach this point. camera was stripped of the right to hold the previous of con tournament. partly because of serious construction the leagues. on the eve of the cia's opening ceremony, walk us was to put any finishing touches on olympus. did you? as soldiers patrol 247 in limber? it town in cameron south was region anglophone separate is malicious, have threatened to destroy much, is here. cameras, tim captain sees players are rising above this trouble. brussel of import us. i think what is important is what is brought to this level. it's football to secure it so it ever happens outside football doesn't interest us at us. we are doing our very best to stay focused on our goal and to have a great tournament in grant competition. is

a wit to getting support as need a proof of vaccination and a negative cru. navarro steps to access much venues. many carina football fans have been turned over because the like the spoof that's hardly a surprise in a country. well, as a 6 percent of people were eating a fully vaccinated spectator, turner has been longer than anticipated because of district moves. one of those who made it through his love enough to travel from parties to support hattie and country need to shed the word and actually africa that we can organize something, pattern, trade thing. and that's a big route. we just can't wait to see if i'm in the math and now i'm so proud of my country. i'm going about the free fund zune set up through al cameroon, also provided an enormous downcast. it seems that where are the see the games
