a discovery of the world around you subscribe to d w documentary on you to this is deed of the news africa coming up on the program. he has group of food security in africa, asked a conflict and ukraine rages on the war we in time for the continent, ask essential supplies ad i detached from places like somalia, a country already unable to feed its people due to decades of the by states and drought, people in kenya also struggling to make ends meet as the price of food and other basics shoot up. we look at their causes,

ask one expect how he thinks the problem could be solved. the 1st thing 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 full to the rest of the world. and these amazing designs is all thanks for the 1st african to be awarded. the most prestigious architecture prize is works on inspiration to meaning in and out of africa. a i am edu, 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 un says one in 5 africans, and on nourished, that's close to the 100000000 people facing starvation out seems

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 over catastrophe. see, in half of the green it uses to feed the needy originates in ukraine. one, 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, it's

a 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 hire ali lost all her cows due to the drought. she

has no food for her 4 year old daughter. and 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 a key and powdered milk, but she gets diarrhea straight away. well, not the new mac shawna. sonya there is no medicine in the camp. visiting doctors decide little oba has to go to a hospital immediately and she owes worn of a humanitarian catastrophe. almost everyone here was a capital pharma until the drought killed their animals. 3 rainy seasons in a row have failed. somebody at the moment is facing the climate disaster among pasting itself in displacement of massive populations, fleeing their homes in search of life saving a few times in the hospital in the city of ki smile, 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 the little bath again. but the news is bad. we find out that the 4 year old girl did not survive the night. oh no. i didn't get mad. after morning prayers, she died. she lost a lot of fluids and hadn't eaten at all, and i will remember her as a happy girl. she always laughed with her siblings. i don't welcome that i had to do was mix 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. we are not

doing anything for them. w. f p says the problem is being exacerbated by the war in ukraine. food supplies coming from there have dwindled in some aid intended for somalia has been redirected to ukraine. the, the 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 are heading to a ukraine to hara is now worried about her 2nd child empty theater. 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 on the challenges. hello sir. thanks for your time. now. food supplies are urgently needed in somalia,

about this aid 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 somalia may be in short supply on the basis of the nate. 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 at that i work in somalia, i now it is possible seeing how the programming the budgets to support these monetary i me, but i just my, my call is to what boy, i need to call an international community to support the country on the current co monetary on it, which is the idea would have over 3 me about 3000000 people and they didn't who my

italian assistance with the 300000 that gibbon on the 5. so we want to really call on international community to support. and also we moved at one to see what we can do to mobilize from order private, international organizations to support the situation in somalia. not only in terms of humanitarian but also in terms of technical support so that we can build resilience. they come to look on the capacity of grad, 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 the numbers yourself. the asked, staggering to say the least, what really goes into such the sessions, what they, what goes into the decisions is about a, what is a good budget, regular budget of the liberal jewel it agencies. but we want to go beyond that, because what we want to do is now to bring the international privacy on board. so that exam mobilize resources from all the actors that are even supporting who

material in a system, including the catholic religion, div bilateral border called bilateral donors, to come and support. and we need to really sure duty entity on the ground is to my left for us to be able to would be like more resources that will go into this. so it is my plea to international. we need to, for us to really find the will making sure this is related. surely out clearly dependency on foreign aid is 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 literacy is what really matters because we have seen that in countries where political leadership is very strong when i go to route transformation, particularly the implement implementation of the comprehensive african of africa agricultural development program. it has been quite results oriented. ah morocco,

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 are in a lot of times, we certainly feel about it that the good, where they have really, really commercialized agriculture, agriculture at it, you'll be on the, for the current crisis, committed to train at least 1000000. i mean to commercialize 1000000 farmers muscular farmer for the next 5 years, and nobody private is sorted in commercialized. 3.5000000 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. oden 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 of our been the you and estimates that people in sub saharan africa

are now paying 30 to 40 per cent more than the rest of the world in kenya. the hashtag low 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 for me to get us from. when i go to the supermarket, i just live with their one kid debug, of mysql and this money pocket of meal, and that zoe and 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 lower income families rely on like the rice and beans and oil, which has become 20 percent more expensive than it was just once. we get us up

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 kenneth or angry about the situation and they've been using the hashtag law for prizes to blame the government. what that to us i meant to look what awkward were china mana justin? im used to tick t and my we no longer take badly out because it's not a math for you to take lunch every month. and even when you want your last, you simply can't afford are we have been forced to feed on just one minute please. you not to look when you want to a one meal, but they they are food in august, they got pulling on and i have elicited carly food prices increase due to government inadequacy bungled the nordstrom lend process to ensure that food played out and not hike winnie killers continue to hope that the government, when she used the prices on basically what did this is an election me ahead,

caleb with huh, i usually do sla, thanks for sticking with us. you are also on economist like many other countries. food prices are skyrocketing in kenya. what is driving prices up? thank you very much. in career, we 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 us the national to put his vote, which i think needs to be really adjusted. so what a need to do, particularly now is to really release part of the reserves into the public because

they have 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're released into the market so that the price is come down that people can easily 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 of talking to greens for more than the light of the green. for instance, about 4400000 bags of green were destroyed recently because it's almost about it. yes, in the distorted system. so we need to avoid this because we shouldn't be this way . people should be eating it. we should push it to the market and the price, the price, and then it will be affordable to people. ok, very well noted. so you mentioned earlier, there's that climate crisis cove at 19 conflicts in and out of africa. all of these

are contributing to food insecurity on the continent. so what should african nations do to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe? the 1st thing is for us to address would cost us because we cannot continue to depend on food from the rest of the world. africa should be the power house of full to the rest of the world. first, we have to deal with the issue of crisis. this i have good in crises with very long time. we need to put an end to it. the book while i am 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 where they have been doing. so this is affecting, it will 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 really invested in and that to be able to really start state of the show. and that is going on. and we need to invest heavily to in empire and small scale

farmers so that they have access to market access to input to improving fertilizer, tractors and chemicals, and also access to to land. because if they don't have access to land renting on land recruit them from investing heavily on their land. so this is very important and we strongly believe that the need for subsidy to be able to deal with this issue that i was going to produce em. us very well know ted ideally or do so law where the united nations development program. thank you very much for your insights . ah, hold your watching. did all the news africa still to come? daring to dream in lagos, nigeria, we visited 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

architecture prize. now 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 molly's military leaders announced they would remain in power for another 5 years before holding any elections. the result and sanctions are the strictest echo, as, as imposed so far on our steed abuse flourish. drucquer i found out it's 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 has suspended all non essential treat between the member countries and molly, and this includes cement, one of my lease biggest in ports. glena mall law says look at our deposit. there is

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 i believe now carla will says if i tell my union, most of the cement used here is gotten from senegal and ivory coast. so truck loads of cement, another 10th have been stuck at the borders 4 weeks. another function that is heating, molly hard, is the closure of all air and land borders with miley this has halted travel between molly and neighboring states. this is the biggest boss park in molly before the sanction heath this entire road used to be line with what these and passing does 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

costs is passed on to the passengers, but very few of them can afford it. look, i live up though i remember possibly look at that as a big problem. because the bus itself doesn't earn enough income. i can't pay for gasoline or pay the driver and still make a profit for alumni on to elected. oh, while the government in malli insists on remaining in power for 5 more years, is the milan people and small businesses that will continue to be at the bronze 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

in the library. today is a bad day. his mother doesn't have enough money to pay for school. so this boy called me rico will go and try to sell bananas bunch by bondage valo. so our kids are late. if i don't sell bananas for a week and we won't have the money to buy food, we won't have money for school. we will be stranded and we will die of hunger at home. but once he leaves home heat and stress lou his day heavier than the bananas east, the responsibility to sell them. he's only 15. that miracle is his mother's oldest son. he has to make the $10.00 or so the tree it's worth it is too dangerous for us to fuel in the most crowded parts of the slam. but miracle goes everywhere to sell bananas. hoppy, no one will rob him. what he really wants to do though,

is to feed his mind for that he goes to the library because i home at about 4 pm, go straight to the library and stay till about 7 pm hallmarkco. i go to the library to read, to type on the computers and for some quiet. i like to retire. i want to become an engineer and make enough money to make ends meet and have a better life of being a walk or i left him without grease the set of the library, the or jiggle islam to have children like miracle. this chagrin, library and discovery st her was set up for and she read me that you're going to ship life and transform are coming from culture such that, that you're going to come in if you do not to in the line of crime drugs, pregnancy prostitution, and all the social anomalies that we're typically known for nigeria has been rated

as one of the countries in the world with the law as reading culture. and that's by ward catullus coy index, meaning that 30 percent of nigerians among retreats ask for in every 10 children in primary school. come not to read for comprehension. now, libraries like this is not read in 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 said in bananas and trying to feed his family again. ah, now let's talk about the man of the moment. book enough. i saw bon architect d, a bay dog francis carrie has become the 1st african to be awarded the fritz car architecture prize. that is architectures most prestigious ana,
