the 77 percent. in 60 minutes on d. w. sometimes books are more exciting than real life. raring to read. ah, what if there's no escape? w literature list. laundry german ma street. b this is eda, be news africa coming up on the program. clean ukraine for an uncertain future. what now and where to pull the african students who fled russia's wall and are now in europe? can they stay and continue their studies? walk 4 would have gotten this video that just went away and on day. so why study in such

a far off country is because of district that make people good to pieces like you green their seed better do keshawn this see something just better than what we can afford to. what i do is give you knows, we find out why the nigerian education system has become so unreliable, forcing many to study abroad, and the scramble to stabilize this a how france and the european union have suspended their missions. in molly. germany wants to maintain a presence there, what the you and force menus map. so what does berlin expect and will bama cult except that also in molly the ancient words ever true. we will care how manuscripts written, centuries of earth are being preserved to live forever. and as we treat from burkina faso, the country's 1st shockers here will tell us walter local twist to his problems.

ah, hello, i'm christine wonder. it's good to have your company. it has been 6 weeks since russia invaded ukraine and the war drags on. on this program, we have reported on the africans who are in ukraine when the bomb being began and the difficulties they faced getting out of the country. many of them are now back home in their countries in africa, but others are still in europe. not while countries have european countries have made provisions for ukrainian refugees. africans who are considered 3rd country nationals are not necessarily entitled to the same arrangements. i will be talking to the former african unions. youth envoy ha, be about what can be done, and what should be done to help young africans, especially those who was studying at universities in ukraine. but 1st,

here's the story of one man in the german city of cologne, who says the future he spent so long planning is now uncertain. carolyn, at my house, sent us this report. wisdom, edward has lost his old way of life. the nigerian was studying in hark, if ukraine than the war came. and he fled to germany. what a walk for would've gotten this? didn't really the justs went away, going on there and more so if you search for my group friends that steamer for your country. so su, susan boarded also about them because of my been able to reach them. since i left you grade wisdom found a home with

a german couple maybe. but it's unlikely that he will be allowed to stay for i know car, you know all ukrainians get residential rides to so that people from africa or other countries who have lived or studied in ukraine are denied this. right. this is a great injustice destination or does this the course on color coding. ukrainian citizens can stay and work in germany for at least a year. that's not the case for every one fleeing. the war. wisdom might be sent back to his native nigeria or korea to save of money to go studying comb though the hopes of my future just gone. i may be safe, physically, no here in colon mcmoney a month. so because of this, sir, we are chorus of what next wisdom tries to keep himself busy.

he's joined an organization that helps african students in the same situation. a wisdom and the other african students hope they can stay. always good german government, great opportunities because we offer is the same issue. the same war, the same tragic situation. the bullets are the bomb, those are known minorities on doesn't most in color and sitting at the table with me now is a chevy, a is or was the 1st ever african youth invoice for the african union. she has been in berlin, where she's been meeting with africans who fled the war and ukraine. welcome. c d, w needs africa at a, at, we've just seen a report. the one young mans account, but you have been meeting with others, african sufficient grand. can you tell us

a little bit about what they told you? so i met with both students who are clean ukrainian arrive to believe. we have a think about 300000 to fled ukraine and arrived currently in berlin. we don't have the exact number of africans in there, but i meant also with networks are self organized networks who are trying to help and who have been actually in the border, trying to support people with humanitarian aid. and i think it's, it's invisible. the african solidarity in berlin and within europe. i think there is an amazing solidarity for ukraine in general. but we know that people of color face 1st time discrimination in war and especially women and children. and i think bridges over borders cause our co op, my network and others are african diaspora network are doing amazing work in supporting but they shouldn't be doing the job of the government as well. so i think that's where the difficulty is when you faced the government. and can you tell us about what the government should be doing? what kind of help should the governments,

governments in the european union be offering specifically to the africans who are in the position that they're in? i think, i think utopian countries and specially germany, it's great that we're exceptional measures for refugees that have never happened before. right. but i think we should apply that to old refugees. an old people who are flea and a conflict and war and not only for ukraine is which the solidarity with ukraine is necessary that the government actually germany have put in place. article 24 of the residents act to make exceptional measures to have people residency and be able to study or work. but that doesn't apply to non ukrainians at the moment. and a lot of africans tells me that they turn down or turn back, or to put it back to their countries if they don't have the right information to what apply for for what. ok, can you just set us a little bit? the specifics about the africans who fled ukraine and find themselves in e u. member states. and you countries, how long are they allowed to stay?

what is the status currently in germany? specifically, it's under the 23rd of may, and that's where the government said they would announce by then when they would take any further measures or extend their stay. and that, you know, keeps anyone in the and no, and students who have done medical studies for 6 years and ukraine and their, and the last semester, well, going a future there waiting for them. and also a kind of psychological support they have currently to be able to apply or what kind of legal support they have to go and register and go through the process of the application which mostly also in german. so they face a lot of barriers and they need support, just like any other recognition. and you mentioned the students say people who were in ukraine studying the idea was to get a qualification. those studies have been interrupted. what can be done to assist people in disposition? i think, well, 1st of all, provide a legal framework, but also universities should open their doors and i've been talking to university the have programs only for ukrainians. and i think if we can get 10 percent,

20 percent of those scholarships, so those, you know that to an african student to be able to apply for and university here and need to have 10 k u t o. in their account. who is a young, you can have that even a european young person. so you can not put all the barriers and expect people to, to find some exceptions to be made for, for students like this, this afternoon. a at we, we also saw that african governments and we have to be honest, we're a bit slow to react in all of this. and what are some of the lessons to be learned on that front? i think more and more african solidarity because if we act together as african, we've shown it in the pandemic about. we handle the panoramic better because we have a pen african solidarity. i think african government maybe try to do by laterally and get their citizen back. but if we had a better coordination, we could have, even though we did get a lot, we had 16000 in ukraine, would go over 10000 out, and most of them return to their countries. so the one really remaining here are the ones who really need to finish their studies, right? and if they go back, they have nothing to do there, and they cannot have equivalence to their said, you have to stand him at

a when i began the conversation, i was telling the audience about the fact that you were the 1st person to if i had the title of africa and unions, youth and voice, your c v is, is remarkable in terms of the work that you've done to empower young people on the continent. and if you could just tell us a little bit about what you think young people specifically in africa right now, need not just those in ukraine that we've been talking about, what the efficacy is, need most, i think too critical things and they're very related. one is financial freedom because we all need to buy to be financially free to have our own choices and to thrive and not just to hustle and worry about 3 meals a day and not have access to any other opportunities. so i think financial freedom and jobs with dignity and didn't hide. employment is the 1st and the 2nd would be leadership. we live in a continent that the average age of african youth is 20 years old, and the average age of the population of the leadership is 64. so we have a 40 year of generation god. and if we don't get the young people in leadership

positions in masses, how can we have laws that to present us and to stay and the future is young. so this going to double in by end of the century? well, that's absolutely right. it's always good heavy, it's not on the part of it. we have had more time, but that just means we need to get you back. some side of that was a are having chevy. thanks so much. ah. are it now as we just heard from air, thousands of african students have been forced to flee ukraine, but why studies so far away? well in nigeria, one reason is the disruption caused by repeated university strikes, which have been going on for years and years covered 19 restrictions on are largely over yet. students are still unable to learn because the lectures are on strike again. now it's a dispute that's a fixing a whole generation of students, dw africa's only searchable my sent us this report from lagos. here

at the university of lagos, the doors are locked and a classrooms empty. normally, these corridors will be buzzing with students by the conscious lectures on strike, adding to the disruption caused by recovered mountain pandemic and given to students another lesson in disappointment, academic staff, so the government is simply not paying them enough money to do their jobs properly . the ha has university professor and less than $500.00 in a month. and that also has implication for retaining the best brees in the university is not everybody who lives the university like a teacher and you must. so you feel play lecture us will pony. how to attract the best britain. this comment strike is the 11th time university lecture, as in nigeria have gone on strike since 2009 not that was a crucial year when asked suit, academic staff union. and god meant signed a deal,

promising better pay and working conditions. but as the states, the government has failed to keep those promises. so they go on strike again. and this has left a whole generation of students, not knowing if they'll get the education they expect. they i supposed to have finished last year because of the co v dan asked the stray. and this is about our time to ways and so very, very sad is really painful. darya we are slacken militia not. he knows. but is it better for the site to be set on was, are for and then beneath like again was reason what this could take a long time. there is still a big gap between the assa union and the government. we reached out to the nigeria minister of education for every action, but despite several attempts, there has been no response. doctor ashley roo says university lecturers have been neglected for too long. a model of the bug raising 2009. how much is it to day, the price of well, how much is it in 2009 up and delay literally,

nigeria remained on that same salary. in the last 30 years, the university of lagos used to have a good reputation by the entire my jr. in education system, as we come soon, reliable, many choose to study abroad. please because of distract them. people go to places like you green. this is better to keshawn. you see something just better than what we can afford. what nigeria has given us a settlement and the return of reliable university education at home would go far to unlock the potential for generation of nigerian students. ah, now, could mildly become the new afghanistan. that's the question. burning in paris and berlin and other european capitals off to france decided to pull its military out of the crisis torn country. in this a hell, a long running international missions to stabilize marley and strengthen its

institutions are now in big trouble. and molly is in the grip of a military, jonah, russia has even been getting involved. now germany is foreign minister, and alina babel paid a visit. add this week to work out. what berlin's next move should be made of his chief international course. one richard walker flew with her 2 miles from where he sent us the snake's report. touching down in a military plane on the edge of the sahara in marley. this is a dangerous place. and german soldiers scanned the air field before opening up to the desert sun. and alina burbock has come here. his germany faces decision time here. and molly? should it keep a military presence in a region shaken by crises of climate change, hunger and terrorism? were after many years and little progress is it now finally, time to quit. france is decided to pull out its forces. a huge step for the former

colonial power. and b, e. u has ended emission training. molly's army. this man is the reason why colonel assuming greater leads the military hunter, the controls molly after to cool in his many years. the regime is accused of showing no interest in returning to democracy. and it's deepening ties with russia . that's a big worry for the west as the war in ukraine rages on. so the outlook was tough as bad book toward camp cas door. the main base for german operations here aircraft fly from here run reconnaissance missions, is part of united nation to mission called min, no smile. it aims to bring some stability to molly. meeting the troops, fair bulk made it clear that she wants to stick to the un mission. and the germany might even have to commit more as others pull out, caught him hintock wanted again,

get back to the french have already announced that they will withdraw here. there was now also a special responsibility for our country, for the many other countries that are involved in this mission to consider together how we can continue this important stabilization mission in the future. so comp or for the current. the question is, can germany deal with the military hunter had towards with hunter leaders in the capital banker there, balkan, her maryan counterpart, loggerheads over molly's military ties to russia. especially after reports were massacre involving russian fighters. doesn't mind. i think this was my urgent appeal. why it's so important including for the protection of civilians in molly that there is no cooperation with russian actors here on the ground on the might the situation in molly is the situation in molly. and we hope that each of marley's partners will also respect molly's choices mighty molly makes its choices according

to its concerns just as germany makes its choices according to its concern. and so what happens now? well, as an alina babble and the delegation of lawmakers travelling with her returned to germany, you can expect an intense debate to flare up in the weeks ahead. but they don't have that long to decide. next month, the buddhist talk, the parliament will have to vote or whether the mission will continue. the instability in molly hasn't been destroyed, lives islamist insurgents, and tim bucks, who also destroyed recent history. for decades, africa has been seen as a continent, an oral traditions, but with the ancient texts. but we are now turning over a new leaf in that old story by meeting one man in money who has devoted himself to preserving ancient writings from african scholars who studied at the university of tim back to some of these manuscripts, stayed back to the 11th century making them a 1000 years old, but now you can access them from the phone in your pockets. dw,

in years africa's flush to cora, sent us this report. relics of history handed down from one generation to another. the theme box manuscripts are a collection of documents written by african scholars in miley, from the 11th to the 20th century. more than 400000 of them, a temporary restored in this library. the writing score by a broad range of subjects, including arts, medicine, size, astrology, mathematics and politics. don't wanna do that on murphy. everybody says that in africa there is no written heritage to there is no art in history. male that it's all oral analysis, but the manuscripts are our identity soon or that they are our history and they are our heritage remodel. really the manuscripts are everything to us. for decades,

doctor high dera has walked to preserve, enjoy attention to these manuscripts. in 2012, she had his attached to northern molly and attempted to destroy historical buildings and burned the manuscripts, but with the help of locals. hi dara. secretly transported the manuscript, it beat at a time by boats and truck to the capitol by marco. now together with his team, i'm partners like google. hi, dera has been working to digitize the manuscripts. 5th, taking thousands of high definition pictures of the manuscripts and translated the text into different languages. for people all over the world to use. gonna include having a digital copy of the manuscripts will make work easier for researchers for students, for teachers with young and for historians with hulu. this studio for,

they'll be able to easily access the manuscripts on their screen score. this particular many schools that i just read is titled good. gov and as i'm the dangers of power and basically talks about how given gifts and money in exchange for justice is corruption. and i find it's very, very fascinating that from the 11th century, we can find so much wisdom that people and governments of id can learn from digitizing. the manuscripts also means that even if any of them gets lost or stolen, the content will be preserved online. this digitization process is part of google's miley magic projects. the technology giant is partnering with his story as like a dar, to preserve and sheer treasures of african heritage with the world from

the dry smell of dust and parchments to the sweet scent of chocolate. easter bunnies and chocolate eggs are one of the top treats around the egg shaped globe. 75 percent of the world's cocoa is produced, finished chocolate product or proliance. but now in book, in a fossil, the nation's 1st chocolate tear is putting an african spell on his products and re bail as team of confectioners are perfecting their easter transformation. the master, so glad she learned his craft in the cradle of chocolate, switzerland. but he unlock idaho, the prairie nice heaven aroma, all of their own. a lot look, all was of all we have coconuts, we have some bowler beans is our one of the cash you nuts is. this is peanuts and that's what it is of her law. all these ingredients keep our chocolates, the unique flavor to can you are natural color or keep it? that means that a cannot be. customers can taste. blanca,

a beautiful revelation. law said the us in belda collector and i buy elac and still remember how he was entranced by his 1st taste of chocolate. years ago when he was 8 years old and and bribed him with a chocolate bumble to convince him to play somewhere else. there was a start of his dream of popular rising chocolate in his home and say that impart province means it's not easy to scale product up, look, oh it, what it i'm still doesn't that i have orient cocoa gets only exported in one direction to amsterdam. beaudry offering, but today more and more chocolate manufacturers are setting our businesses all over the continent, is to mobile can offer and for us in bikini fafsa, that's a problem. it is a local area because i've already ins won't believe that our country is a good destination for their cocoa beans law firm. so we really are facing difficulties to import cocoa beans to bettina fossil level chemo fossil. to endless
