history of anti semitism is a history of stigmatization and exclusion of religious and political power. struggles in the christian christianity wants to convert. that is why christianity use the figure of the jew as a deter. it's a history of slander of hatred and violence. a 3rd of our people were exterminated $6000000.00 jews, like microbes to be annihilated even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. history to summit us this week on d. w. ah, hello there it is so great to have you on yet another fantastic addition of the 77 percent. the show for us africa's young majority. my name is wendy camara and i'm delighted to be your host to day

to day we're going to do some self reflection and look at how africa is viewed through global news. after all, we other 77 percent or a tv magazine portraying africa. but we also have more coming up in our st debate. we review how africa is viewed through the eyes of international law. here in cyprus, we attend young refugees on their long path to becoming basketball stars. and in our series, tommy, cause we asked nigerian dance. well, i just, i for ranking how he became the person for the conflict corruption, disease, famine. international media is often accused of focusing solely on negative headlines coming out of the african continent or overlooking them altogether. do you agree?

let's kick off the show by 1st hearing what young africans on the streets of south africa, nigeria, and kenya. think a thing begin to national news out. they could do better by showcasing more african contents and on the traditions and called children africa. there's still a lot of pushing the colonial whale things into africa. there's still a lot of pushy influence from americans, africa. they want us to be portrayed as a continent that's hungry and yet we have resources that understanding that we need to take care of ourselves. we need to understand ourselves, so we need to prioritize speaking to each other, rather than getting the white man's view of a few votes, bishop come to africa and document all the good things happening here or decrease. if it's the, all the developmental the transitioning and put it out there. so wald knows that africa is green as well. a lot of the times of kids to take nig, i think what will help she's that is of gun media houses and journalists need to

come out more unsure. they're in stories of up until then. there are others, but 2 of the ones. let's now go to bon, where the annual global media forum just to place and media professionals from all over africa and the world were present. so my colleague, tommy, or lady, po, caught up with a couple of them to find out how do we as media practitioners, view africa, which stories do you as the audience want to see? and what can editors and journalism leaders do better? let's watch this inciteful debate. i ah, the war in ukraine, the coven, 19 pandemic? these are stories that have dominated the news recently. but what about major stories from africa that don't grab the world's attention? here at dw global media forum, we've got together a group of media professionals from africa and abroad to discuss the stories that

matter. let's start with our panel and very he quickly or so with aldrin. can you tell us what stories matter to you very quickly? what it all depends on what be covering on the day it could be that a check. fine. capetown is the most important story of the day. even though you have people dying in the d o. c. but what, what would you like to see covered? i think human interest stories 1st of all. so this is about human beings, the sufferings and, but also, but also very important. it's also telling the good story. it's not just about the ugly story. all right, let's come to the youngest member of our panel. had eda from tanza near an award winning youth reporter? what stories do you cover and the stories which i cover, it's all about girls developing their countries. also women's cause in africa. women are like i like suspended. they can do something until nowadays,

although there are knows which are guiding them and to, sorry i getting them. they cannot do something much through this programs. i am doing. they can know that woman's there still are people who can still develop our countries. they hold high ranks of government and they're still doing good far to let's come to you if i to is a present and reporter with gambia is the gumby as state broadcaster or these the kinds of stories that go on l. that when you go into these are stories you cover are very much so i, the game is relatively a small country where our population of the largest 2000000 people. so we don't necessarily have very big issues. but we also are battle with some of these things that happen across africa as well. you know, from youth employ unemployment from maternity issues from sexual, engender base violence. and up until now, waste has struggling to carry out these, you know, these issues the way they should in, in the mainstream media,

bulky acora. now you are the executive director at africa. no old. so you don't read a reports on how africa covers africa. what kinds of stories are, are these that are being covered? i do, they reflect what these. oh and a little so i said either reflect what alvin said. he wants to see what is more good news, more positive news, more feature type stories. what we found was that on was 81 percent of the stories . we picked up that africans a reading in african media about other african countries with negative. it was hard news. and by definition hard news tends to be negative me with it was the humanitarian crises that you're talking about. so we're getting a lot of coverage on that sort of news. what we found was missing was the human interest stories with the stories of arts and culture. i mean, when you think about africa, what is our biggest export? if it's not afro beats with music, but we don't cover it, we don't cover the industry, we don't cover the sector. so there is a lot missing and there's a lot of work that needs to be done. lest hunter richard walker. d w's chief

international editor. but you will also have the newsroom for a bit. how do we decide what stories are top that, that the, make it to the very top of the news yet? well, it's a kind of class. it is a question for journalist, isn't it? but you can say that sometimes it comes down to kind of come, combination of sort of urgency untimeliness, you know, what has just happened a kind of a judgment about the impact and then often kind of proximity, like how close is that is often and a often a question that media will ask. now of course, when, when you can in a regional media where you're serving either one country or one region, then proximity is one thing. but for deutsch, vela, we're global, you know, so it's a, we kind of have multiple levels in which we so view, the kind of proximity to us. just keep it with you for a 2nd. you've also covered or you, oh, you know, under your ram it has been india for example. india is a country of over 1000000000 people. yet the news coverage doesn't seem as if india is a one point something 1000000000 of country. and we could say the same about many african

countries. why are those in terms of a, you know, they borton's not, not making it up there. and with such frequency, i've just back recently from india where i was there for a week kind of covering what's going on in india, geopolitically. and i was kind seeing one thing that the indian foreign minister said when i was there, he said, you know, basically whenever europe has a problem is everybody's problem. but when we have, we have a problem, it's our problem. one thing that has really changed in the way stories are covered is the power of social media. social media has given people a platform to be able to raise their stories and gain the mainstream media attention for to let's come to you. when i did a study on media choices and decision making in my bachelor's, i realized that i are a lot of young people took their conversation on social media because they felt that their stories were not really captured on mainstream. but it also does not display the fact that these young people feed that they so much fake news and miss

information on the mainstream. but still this is where they're able to, you know, i'm amplified. they, they do courses. this is where they able to represent themselves. i gramma, tumble you are the news editor at the east african. these issues have been talked about. why are we not seeing them in the news? first of all, we need to report the stories of people and in my country. we've had a challenge where the social media is used by the audience to challenge us, to report certain stories. and they can tell you that in some cases the, they even challenge us to sort of correct our mistakes. and this becomes a very useful thing because the authorities hovel is used. they are the media to sort of tell stories that they want and not necessarily to, to tell their stories other people want and they have so much power over over the

media. i think media ownership, for example, the political environment and just who is and what icing on the media platforms. interesting, all you have your hand up until, you know, for example, in tanzania, many media as i not balanced in marseilles, they have no freedom to malice themself. because maybe they're pulling they're, they're one who is owning that media is a politician. so he or she is governing day. there may be at that, you should put this in this, in this in media max. they have no freedom to talk about the external things. how can things change, how can you and your colleagues changed the way these stories are done? i think they're worse than me. the i succeeded in kind of said understand that of what journalism. oh, good journalism is. and i think i understand because they have, you know, a bigger representation and they do operating on a very international scale. but like you were mentioning,

how do we localize then the content? because these things are important. but how much more of our stories are we projected in the news? i think that is a lot for us to take away that there is quite a lot to do. but for you who's just watch this conversation and listen to what's been said, what do you think? let us know this has been 77 percent. thanks for joining us. thank you to me and did a, how can we change how things are done? tell us through email or our social media platforms and speaking of platforms, d. w in partnership with south africa tucker and our fm and east coast radio has launched that regional podcast. don't hold back feed loud. the broadcast is hosted by noisy bella. com. garnett, my alba, who talks to various guests on topics like mental health, money, sex careers and life choices. you can listen to the podcast on the jack around our f. m, an east coast radio podcast platforms and everywhere you get your put cast. and you

can also watch it on the d. w, africa, youtube page. now on to a different topic. social media posts a saying that global migration is skyrocketing. but is that true? could it be that migration is not accelerating, but that there are just more people in the world. let's find out on the bucked. contrary to popular believe global migration has been very stable over the past 60 years. the fear of huge migrant waves has gripped people in various parts of the world. social media posts claim that migration is skyrocketing. this is false. let's explain. while the total number of global migrants has increased over the past 60 years, so has the overall world population. it has the region from 3000000000 to almost

8000000000 half a century ago. 3 percent of the wolves population were migrant. today. that number remains almost the same at 3.5 percent. for sub saharan africa, the figures have even slightly dropped. and it's not true that all african migrants are desperate to leave the continent. the vast majority of migrants and refugees in africa only move to neighboring countries. global migration is not accelerating. they're just more people in the world. now on the small mediterranean island of se, press the situation for african refugees is dia, even with asylum status. granted, former inhabitants of comp, like panada, have a hard time integrating into society due to lack of political real. but just look

umbrella and his teammates have found a way to deal with frustration in a positive way on the basketball cut name in my life. joe schalk umbrella is a true fighter. the captain of the hook refugee basketball team has been fighting all his life. he fled the democratic republic of congo, due to conflict, arrive in his cyprus in may 2020. where jesse vinny, see, i explained my situation to a friend who advised that i come to cyprus to seek refuge hulu. first i went to turkey, then entered northern cyprus and then i crossed over into the salus. what was supposed to be a new lease on life soon turned into a nightmare. the 17 year old was arrested by separate police and thrown into an

adult prison for 4 months. despite been a minor ship us in re dall, liquid messiah a little on the 1st i was captain, the police station. and in the morning i was taken to the court to learn. i explained to them that i was a refugee at hazel, but i was told i had violated the lockdown and curfew regulations hiwassee really traverse good traffic. city truck on township were paralegal. it was not easy for me because i had never been in prison before. pearl isn't thousands of asylum seekers follow. come by las root each yet they arrive in sudden cyprus, from turkey. once here, they must spend months at a poor. not our reception center located about 10 kilometers outside a capital. nick was caea. the camp is over crowded. sanitation is poor and access

to social services limited. many of the residents here rely on donations from group slight generation for change. at north assess, he started a group after witnessing the appalling conditions phase by refugees we usually get people to donate our clothes or food and any other things, the blankets, especially in the winter period. and then we direct and distribute these items. so individuals in the camp to provide a little bit of comfort, but mostly is the fact that we want to show our solidarity to those who have went through to the vulnerable wants to leave the camp. you have 2 month period before you're able to really receive your benefits. i'm because there might be different delays when it comes to the benefits individual might not have access to food or hygiene, essentially,

or close. usually those were leave at the camp. the common contact with us back or the end tell us about their needs. and then we try to return to their needs and those needs are many after repeated criticism of living conditions asked the poor now to come. the president of cyprus promised a more humane treatment of my glance. but for professor nicolas directly, notice that government is deliberately frustrating refugees. once you do manage to put submit your application is your reception conditions the receptor that absolutely appalling. it's embarrassing. ordinarily resembles maria maria it was there is a disgraceful grease board. amera is our murray. i did this great for cyprus, but also those who leave and are staying outside the reception condition. they're accessing right? accessing the labor market, especially if you're africa and you're black,
