10:31 pm
ask one expands how he thinks the problem could be solved. the question is for us to address because we just, we cannot continue to depending on food from the rest of the world. africa should be the problem household food to the rest of the world. and he's amazing designs. it's all thanks for the 1st african to be awarded. the most prestigious architecture prize is works on inspiration to many in and out of africa. a i am eddie micah junior and you are welcome to the program. many countries on the continental impacted by food insecurity. but here's a staggering number for you. the u. n says one in 5 africans, and on nourished, that's close to 300000000 people facing starvation out seems
10:32 pm
a conflict in europe is about to make matters worse. the i m f this week said quote, the war in ukraine means hunger in africa. the world food program is also wanting of catastrophe. see in half of the green it uses to feed the needy originates in ukraine. while not only that, it has also been forced to slash aid to some african countries because of the crisis. we're show short of funds all ready and now with ukraine. we've got we've got 50 percent ration for people. for example, in yemen, i've just cut 50 percent ration for 8000000 people. these year 50 percent rash shared 50 percent residence in 50 percent. don't have anything those who are in extreme need, so it's already having a global impact. we've already seen countries right before ukraine crisis begin to destabilize, like molly chair, rikita fossil, in my opinion,
10:33 pm
is the side of things to come. or discuss this further with a representative of the united nations development program in a moment. but let's 1st go to somalia, where i'm almost forgotten. humanitarian catastrophe is now severely aggravated by food aid being diverted elsewhere. somalia is experienced in its worst drought in 4 decades. millions are starving and being forced to leave their homes, bearing the brunt our children. one in some view as might find the photo in pictures disturbing about them. we are only 5 kilometers away from our ship up control territory. the islamist terrorist group has a tight grip on somalia. daily attacks have become normal. but tara is not the reason why roughly 30000 people live in this camp. the drought has made their villages uninhabitable. to hara ali lost all her cows due to the drought. she
10:34 pm
has no food for her 4 year old daughter. i never got my daughter is getting worse every day. she can keep anything down and its vomiting. i was all. yeah, i tried to give her the key and powdered milk, but she gets diarrhea straight away. well not the new microsoft sonya. there is no medicine in the camp. visiting doctors decide little oba has to go to a hospital immediately and she owes warren of a humanitarian catastrophe. almost everyone here was a kettle farmer until the drought killed their animals. 3 rainy seasons in a row have failed. somebody at the moment is passing. climate disaster pasting itself in displacement of mossy population filling their homes in search of life saving a few times in the hospital in the city of ki smile,
10:35 pm
malnourished children, receive treatment more than 10 have been admitted to day and the number is grand. the next morning we want to check on little back again. but the news is bad. we find out that the 4 year old girl did not survive the night. but i didn't want to mention after morning prayers. she died. she lost a lot of fluids and hadn't eaten at all. i will remember her as a happy girl. she always laughed with her siblings. i don't welcome that i had to do what was mixed in. increasing numbers of children are falling ill because they do not have enough to eat. but so far, way to little help has arrived. one reason is under funding, we are hopeless to them. we can't do anything for them. those people who are been afflicted and they are monday through sure they love their livestock,
10:36 pm
we are not doing anything for them. w. f p says the problem is being exacerbated by the war and ukraine. food supplies coming from there have dwindled in some aid intended for somalia has been redirected to ukraine. there's a number of donors at the beginning. they already told us there's some commodities are coming, heading towards us. those committees were already diverted in this, in the see her heading to ukraine to her is now worried about her 2nd child empty fetter. he's also acutely malnourished. on a good day, the family gets one meal, but too often they go to bed hungry. let's talk more about this with, are you delay or diesel? our residents representative and director africa financing to have with the united nations development program. he were to book an african agriculture as potential the foreman's lessons and challenges. hello sir. thanks for your time. now. food supplies are urgently needed in somalia, about this,
10:37 pm
eat as being diverted to ukraine due to the ongoing war. so who decides who lives and who dies in such situations. thank you very much. what, what is important is that the available resources dedicated to countries, ideally available jewel saasamala, may be in short supply on the basis of the mate. and my call is that on the basis of what the or that you and it is, is that doing not only the what, what program alone is to impose their budget, what is yet to support to monetary and made all the you any differences that are present i that i work in somalia, i now it is possible seen any programming deborah debt to support these home until yeah, me, but i just my, my call is to what voice i need to call on international communities to support the country on its current co monetary on it, which is very dear, would have over 3 me about 3000000 people and they didn't who monetary and us
10:38 pm
history with the 300000 that gibbon on the 5. so we want to really call on international community to support. and also we move to that want to see what we can do to mobilize from a private, international organization to support the situation in somalia. not only in terms of human interior, but also in terms of technical support so that we can build resilience. they can look on to the capacity of that, so my land to be able to really put news foods that they would need and become ok. export that to the recipe. ok, i mean, you mentioned, and i miss yourself. the asked, staggering to say the least, what really goes into such the sessions. oh, well they, what goes into decisions about that. what is the good budget, regular budget of the liberal jewel. it is what we want to go beyond that. because what we want to do is now to bring the international privacy on board. so that exam
10:39 pm
mobilize resources from all the actors that are even supporting who material in a system, including the catholic religion did by lateral border called by latinos to come and support. and we need to really sure the reality on the ground is to my left for us to be able to will believe more resources that will go into this. so it is my glee to international community for us to really find the will making sure this is related. surely out clearly dependency on foreign aid as not the way to go. so what is stopping african countries from growing most of its own food? when there is so much arable land, well, political leadership is what really matters. because we have seen that in countries where political leadership is very strong and i get quarter our transformation, particularly the implement implementation of the comprehensive african africa agricultural development program. it has been quite results oriented. ah morocco,
10:40 pm
for instance, actually the green man article plan has succeeded in turning this issue will magnitude an issue with crises into i know what to do for food exports. so this is really going on there. and also we have been a lot of times, we certainly feel about it that the good where they have really, really commercialized agriculture, i guess, quarter it, you'll be on the, for the current crisis committed to train at least 1000000, i mean, 2 commercialized, 1000000 farmers must get a farmer for the next 5 years and nobody by the i do so today in commercial, i did 3500000 pharma ok, commercialized pharma is where at least 90 percent of the firm produce is sold in the market as opposed to 10 percent in the past. there's so many areas to dig. to dig into this i, mr. audrey seller, please stay with us that we have more to talk about regarding food security. another reason why people can i get enough to eat is simply because the prices are higher than the above are been the you and estimates that people in sub saharan
10:41 pm
africa are now paying 30 to 40 per cent more than the rest of the world. in kenya, the hashtag lower food prices has been trending for a while now. prizes for bread and oil have shot up in the last 3 years. many kenyans are struggling to make ends meet as our correspondence reports. ah, we are given market here in a row be and it's a busy day as usual, shabazz here see that these days they're not able to buy food because the prices of food have become too high. really get us from. when i go to the supermarket, i just live with their one kid debug, of mysql and the small pocket of mill and that zoe run out of cash. i hope they pray this could be lowered so that i can be able to provide food for my children. we're talking about basic foods that low income families rely on like the rice and beans and oil, which has become 20 percent more expensive than it was just one that we get us up
10:42 pm
plays at very high praises. hence, we are forced to sell at high prices so that we can make at least small profit margins. if you sell at lower praises, you and ran into losses and yet this is business. there's no way i can lower the praises, but i don't really love to canyon are angry about the situation and they've been using the hashtag. northrop prizes to blame for governments. what got to us, i meant to look what dockwood were china mana justin. im used to tick t and my we no longer take badly out quite. it's not a math for you to take lunch every month and even when you want your love, you simply can't afford. oh we have been forced to feed on just one minute. please . not to knock when you are to all one meal, but they are fully known. gallagher calling on an avalanche, karl food praises increase due to government inadequacy bungled the nordstrom lend process to ensure that food played out and not hike. we nicholas continued to hope that the government, when she used the prices on basically what did this is an election year in canada
10:43 pm
with i usually do sla, thanks for sticking with us. you are also an economist. like many other countries. food prices are skyrocketing in kenya. what is driving prices up? thank you very much. i will have multiple things that i really shipping the change in price in prices. climate change is one of them, the supply chain that has been broken and as a result of 19 over the years in terms of where the food is coming from is another . and the 3rd one is the management is the issue associated to the management of the grid is of the national to put his vote, which i think needs to be really adjusted. so what i need to do particularly now is to really release part of the results into the public because they have
10:44 pm
a now is one of the very few countries on the continent that has a reserve. so the need to do this by making sure that they release into the market so that the price is come down, that people can easily be f i could afford. this is one of the things that needed to be done. and also the need to really find a way of making sure they are void the kind of the damages, because all of us talking the greens were more than the light of the green. for instance, about 4400000 bucks of green were destroyed recently because it's almost about it in the distorted system. so we need to avoid this because we should have it this way. people should be eating it, which will push it to the market today. and the price, the price, and then it will be affordable to people. ok, very well noted. so you mentioned earlier there is that climate crisis covered 19 conflicts in and out of africa. all of these are contributing to food insecurity on
10:45 pm
the continent. so what should african nations do to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe? the 1st thing is for us to address the hood caustics, because we cannot continue to depend on food from the rest of the world. africa should be that our house of full to the rest of the world fair to have to deal with the issue of crisis. this a has good in crises with very long time. we need to put an end to it. the book i'm in a room most talk because for almost about 3 more than 3. yes. now i have not been able to go to farm am, produce the way they have been doing. so this is affecting it. we need to put an end to rate. this is very important. and also we need to invest heavily in climate smart agriculture, where drought with crops dow rest is done, animals are really invested in and that will be able to release the state of the show and that is going on. and we need to invest headed to in empire and small
10:46 pm
scale farmers so that they have access to market access to input, including fertilizer, tractors, and chemicals, and also access to to land. because if they don't have access to land renting on land, good them from investing heavily on their life. so this is very important and will strongly believe that the need for subsidy to be able to deal with these issues that are going to produce em us very well know, ted or your daily or do so law where the united nations development program. thank you very much for your insights. ah, world you're watching. did all the news africa still to come? daring to dream in lagos, nigeria, we visit a free library that is given kids hope for a brighter future and be prepared to be blown away. these amazing designs have made him the 1st african to be awarded the most prestigious
10:47 pm
architecture prize. that before we get to that, it's been 2 months since the west african original block echo us imposed sanctions on molly. that was after marley's military leaders announced they would remain in power for another 5 years before holding any elections. the resultant sanctions are the strictest echo, as, as imposed so far as did abuse flourish trigger, i found out it civilians why hits the hottest new buildings springing up in every corner? this is by macros, growing business district. but the growth has slowed down because cement has become very scarce. echo as have suspended all non essential treat between the member countries. and molly, and this includes cement, one of my lease biggest imports. glena mall law says look at our deposit,
10:48 pm
there's nothing left in it at all because of the sanctions crisis. we couldn't buy anything because it became too expensive and customers can no longer afford to buy because of arising prices and, and, but now carla will say if i tell my, you know, most of the cement used here is gotten from senegal and ivory coast. so truck loads of cement another times have been stuck at the borders for weeks. another function that is heating, molly hard, is the closure of all air and land borders with miley. this has halted travel between miley and neighboring states. this is the biggest boss park in miley before the sanctions heath this entire road used to be line with what these and passing jazz traveling what we've been an. * around west africa region, but now as you can see, there isn't much activity going on here. because buses are not allowed to cross the borders. drivers have to be heavy duty to butter officials in order to cross. the
10:49 pm
costs is passed on to the passengers, but very few of them can afford it. look, hon bumped away bloomin, possibly regardless as a big problem. because the bus itself doesn't earn enough income, can't pay for gasoline or pay the driver and still make a profit for alumni on through allotted. oh wow. the government in malley insists on remaining in power for 5 more years. is the milan people and small businesses that will continue to be the brunt of the sanctions. our next story takes us to one of the biggest slums in lagos, nigeria, particularly to our part where some children find peace, quiet, and books. thanks to a small free library in the neighbourhood, did abuse america or coin met one ambitious teenager who feeds his mind and dreams

one of the countries in the world with the law as reading culture. and that's by ward curtis coy index. meaning that 30 percent of nigerians among retreats ask for in every 10 children in primary school cannot read for comprehension. now, libraries like this is not region the gap so that children like these with huge streams of very little resolve, it can afford to be in one miracle. and his friends have nourished their dreams for to day. to morrow. we'll distress and said in bananas and trying to feed his carmody again. ah, now let's talk about the man of the moment, book enough. ah, so born architect, debated, frances carrie has become the 1st african to be awarded that fritz scott architecture prize. that is architecture's most prestigious ana,
