holly finally become the person he's always wanted to be and these very badly elementary credit and we'll go through with it. i was born in starts march 30th on d, w. this is d w. news africa coming up on the program. fiesta group of food security in africa asked a conflict and ukraine rages on. a worry in time for the continent. ask essential supplies are dietetic from places like somalia, a country already unable to feed its people, do the decades of device 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 courses, i'm asked one expect, how he thinks the problem could be solved. the 1st thing is for us to address

with continue to depending on food from the rest of the world. africa should be the problem. how so full to the rest of the world are in these amazing designs? it's all thanks to the 1st african to be awarded. the most prestigious architectural prize is works on integration to many in and out of africa with i am edu micah genia 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, as i'm nourished, that's close to 300000000 people facing starvation out seems a conflict in you is about to make matters worse. the i m f this week said quote,

the war in ukraine means hunger in africa. the wild food program is also wanting of a catastrophe. c, in half of the green it uses to feed a 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 so 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 rations for 8000000 people these year. 50 percent rash. shad 50 percent red and 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, this side of things to come or discuss this spread out with

a representative of the united nations development program in a moment. but let's 1st go to somalia where an 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. i want in some view as might find the following 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 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 tea 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 manifesting itself in displacement of massive populations, filling 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 bar 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, anna walker. fred, there was little increasing numbers of children are falling ill because they do not have enough to eat. but so far way to little health has arrived. one reason is under funding, we are helpless to them. we can't do anything for them. those people who are been afflicted and they are monday through, shouldn't they love their life, was look, we are not doing anything for them. w. s p says the problem is being exacerbated by

the war in ukraine. food supplies coming from there have dwindled, and some aid intended for somalia has been redirected to ukraine. the the number of donors at the beginning, the already told us there's some commodities are coming, heading towards us. last committed were already diverted in this, in the see are heading to a ukraine to hara 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 do so our residents representative and director africa financing to have with the united nations development program. he were to book an african agriculture as potential performance lessons and challenges. hello. sad, thanks for your time. now. food supplies are urgently needed in somalia, about this, eat as being diverted to you cream 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. so 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, are doing not only the workforce 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'm out of pocket seen how the programming the budgets to support these home until yeah me, but i just might, 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 monetary assistance with the 300000 that gibbon on the 5. so we want to really call

on international community to support. and also we moved with that want 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 and look on the capacity of that. so my land to be able to really put news food 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. well the what goes into the decisions or is it bout at 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 bi lateral 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 now 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 africa, 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 body parts that they get where they have really, really commercialized agriculture, agriculture. it will be on the, for the current crises, committed to train, at least $1000000.00. i mean to commercialize 1000000 farmers, muscular farmers for the next 5 years, and nobody by the i did so today in commercializing 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 sola, 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 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 at can 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 ms cla and the small packet of milk, and that to zoe and out of cash. i hope they pray. this could be lot 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 after we get our supplies 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 nor praises you and run into losses. and yet this is business. there's no way i can lower the praises, but i don't really love to kennels are angry about the situation and they've been using the hashtag northrup prizes to blame the government. what got to us? i meant to look what could you or jane amanda justin. im used to take t and my we no longer take dudley 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. you not to knock when you want to all one meal, but they are food in and get they got calling on and i have elicited carly food praises increase due to government inadequacy bungled the nordstrom lend process to ensure that food prep no take. we nicholas continued to hope that the government, when she used the prices on basically what did this is an election year in canada with i usually

do sla, thanks for sticking with us. you also on economist like many other countries, food prices are skyrocketing in kenya. what is driving prices up? thank you very much for interior. 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. this is the issue associated to the management of the grid is that the national serial put is bought, 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 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 damages because of us talking to greens for more than the life 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 should all be destroying people should be in it. we should push it to the market and the price, the price, and then it will be affordable to people. ok, very well. know that. 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 families have not been able to go to farm am produce where they have been doing. so this is affecting that we need to put that into 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, including fertilizer,

tractors, and chemicals, and also access to land. because if they don't have access to land renting on land, recount them from investing heavily on their land. so this is very important. and with 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 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 home 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 marley'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 and asked it abuse flourish, drucquer i found out it civilians. why hits the hottest new buildings springing up in every corner? this is, by marco's growing business district. but the growth has slowed down because cement has become very scarce, eco, as has suspended all non essential treat between member countries. and molly, and this includes cement, one of my lease biggest in ports. glenna mall. mars says, look at our deposit. there is nothing left in it at all because of the sanctions crisis where we couldn't buy anything because it became too expensive. and

customers can no longer afford to buy because of rising 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 truckloads of cement, another attempts have been stuck at the borders for weeks. another function that was heating. miley 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 sanction heath this entire road used to be line with what these and passing does traveling. but we've been an. * around west africa region, but now as you can see, there isn't much activity going on here because the 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 the cannibal bob away blew them, 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 gov meant in mally 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 parts where some children find peace, quiet, and books. thanks to a small free library in the neighbourhood, did abuse a marker 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 fellow. so i carefully, 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 home bus. 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 uncle. i hate him at about for 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 me. i walk or less hippa, greece, the set of the library, the or jiggle islam to help children like miracle. this chagrin library and discovery st. her was set up for children that you're going to ship life and transform our community culture. such that you're going to come in if you do not to in the line of crime drugs, image, pregnancy, prostitution, and other such an anomalies that we're typically known for. nigeria has been rated as one of the countries in the world with the lowest reading culture. and that's by

ward catullus, coin base, meaning that 30 percent of nigerians i'm on retreats as for in every 10 children in primary school. come not to read for comprehension. now, libraries like this is not read the gap so that children like these with huge strengths of very little resources can afford to be in one miracle. and his friends have nourished their dreams for to day. to morrow. we'll distress selling bananas and trying to feed his carmody again. ah, now let's talk about the man off the moment. looking a fossil born architect debated. frances carrie has become the 1st african to be awarded that fritz sca architecture prize. that is architecture's most prestigious ana sponsors of the award say he was recognized for his pioneering designs that are
