he told us, ah, a story about sure as well. the power is literature. sony in some decent minutes, dw, that he wasn't able make the german. he just did the john love via banning thing stuff away from that. but i'm not even know how to work my own car and everyone with later holes and everything. just kidding, are you ready to meet the german? then join me, rachel stuart on d. w. it's time for another informative edition of the 77 percent. sure. this is where the continental young people, those of us who love afro beats animal piano. this is where we love to meet, but we don't just talk about music because there is so much more happening across the continent. i am my fluti and i am glad to have you here.

with covered up in today's program, we travel to northern cyprus and magnet for african students, but with many obstacles. then we take a look at why many africans are packed in the box and move in a broad laser. we focused on a guardian entrepreneur who came home from abroad to start again, change in p. r. company migration is important. and i swore this as to new ideas, skills, and resources, but what's more important is my greet him safely. unfortunately, in 2021 a lot more than 1000 africans died, attempting to reach spain, scrub canaria, island box up modality. kara was lucky to survive that trip, but he wants more people to pay attention to the risk less dive into his story. the

last few years have been a struggle for my de la to cut the young malia and jeans of boxing and the lumpy king. but it's a miracle he's still alive at all. modular, toughest opponent wasn't in the ring, but it see he was still a minute when he boarded the fishing boat in montana to embark on an odyssey towards the kennedy island. what was the last day i was to the next period and just had no strength left. i was so scared all the time. but when you find yourself in such an extreme situation, you eventually lose. if i also learned a lot about that for boxing, you have to go to your limits and overcome the fears. otherwise, your country medulla finally reached the coast of spain here at the small port on grand canada. even today, there still remains of the refugee, both since medulla arrived here more than 7 years ago. the number of migrants using

this route has risen rapidly and so has a number of those who didn't survive the crossing. everyone is while the weight of the risk says medulla, but they're willing to take it for the sake of the families. 2000 kilometers away on the other side of the sea medallist family follows his every move in spain, half of millions live in poverty. the condemning in various political crisis have only made the situation was from school fees to the ingredients for lunch. the money that marcella painstakingly escapes together through boxing and kitchen jobs all goes towards taking care of his family. for us, it is necessary for survival. he set out to relieve us of our suffering. my dallas journey has brought a lot of good to the family. we know he works very hard and we know he doesn't have it easy where he is right now. but that's what i'm not far from the family's house,

is one of the markers by stations every day, young molly and set out from here to seek your fortune in europe like my de la some even remember him from around the neighbourhood. i don't know yet. we've heard of madonna, but he's one of us, but we follow his movements and everything he does. he's doing a great job. one day we want to be like him, i don't, i would, but i'm going, i don't want to go to guy. i got, i got a headache, i, madonna has mixed feelings about this. he knows that many of the young migrants will not survive the journey. and even if they do manage to make it to the island, most struggle to meet the high expectations of the family medulla gives a new come as tips to help them find a way around the island. he knows they don't have the same opportunity that he had just a few years ago. the island is now overwhelmed with a huge number of arrival on top of this. they also need to contend with the pin demick and the few of the war and economic problems in europe. and i was lucky. but

then there was hardly any under my groans, yet i was able to do an apprenticeship and intention and finding a job was also much easier. but the last few years here have turned into a crisis. there are no longer 2000 migrants coming here every year, but tens of thousands. that's just too many. but the situation is also increasingly hopeless in his homeland says, model, or his worry that the spain see rescue service will be very busy in the coming months. unfortunately, because of the limited legal routes to migration stories like my dallas is very common and he is a part of a large extra dose of young africans on the continent. some took the risk, he boiled rice, we've just seen, while others look for education and new skills. but what certain is that? in recent years, more young africans are willing to travel abroad. so was pushing them out of their

homes into distant lance. more and more young africans are packing their bags and moving abroad as political instability and full out from the cove at 19 pandemic take its toll. across the continent, a good portion of africa's youth are evidently hedging their bets elsewhere, according to the african e. 302022 from south africa's incubate family foundation. only 32 percent of the 4500 young people in to you are optimistic about our prospects. a drop of 11 percent since the last survey in 2020. in fact, only respondent in garner and to wonder thought that countries were moving in the right direction. more than half those surveys are considering moving to another country in the next 3 years as a way to secure employment and education opportunities. this generation of young africans are more focused on their personal and entrepreneurial ambitions than

their parents were actually 2 thirds believe they have better prospects than their parents. but they're like of access to capital to realize their dreams is that healing their desire to move abroad. about 60 percent of africa population is under $25.00. but right now there simply aren't enough universities on the continent to cater to this growing demographics. ambitions. grants also need to contend with a frustrating paradox. while africa has a shortage of skilled workers in areas like technology, engineering, and health, skilled young africans remain under employed. many young africans head to europe, north america, and china, to try and secure their features. the irony of africa is that while its productive population most abroad, no remittance is sent home by these people help to develop a lot of these countries. but life overseas often comes with discrimination and exclusion. that is settling the story of this small island here in the

mediterranean. not in cyprus, has recently become a harp for african students. many of them travel here because tuition fees are cheap and a standard of education is comparable to some of the big european institutions. in austria debate, i travel to left kasha or us, some would call it, nick was caea to talk to students about some of the challenges they face. india adopt at home. no us you what this to beat? i needed to remember that northern cypress is a defacto state, only recognized by turkey. 30 the spanish 11 percent is in la kasha in the northern part of cyprus. now over the last 12 years, this part of the island has seen an explosion in universities. many students come here to get education because it's affordable, and the universities are great. but they are challenges. and that is what this

conversation is gonna be about today. my name is mike lety and we're going to delve right into the conversation. i'm going to start with brutus. um, talk to me about some of their disadvantages and challenges that you encounter, the issue of rent. the issue of rent actually has been one of the key issue that many times i've encountered most especially i've been over a year to well if and then i haven't signed a contract. i mean, i me, hold on here and clarify this for us. so he lived in the apartment for about a year, year, and he has a one year more than a year, and you haven't signed a contract. yes. and then all of a sudden, to my other mas abbas few days ago, he met me on the roadside to tell me that there's an equipment in the rent. so actually, why why's it does on equipment? there's no notification par, notice what are you do on a house or making you to carry out the equipment and nothing said to me. so

actually, i feel like i have been spluttered. i feel that much last in this part of the word, i'm going to put a general question to you both. you, brutus enter nice. how is accommodation like for you am as international students, when others change as things are seen, him alive is here. and you will find a place that you like. so, and you wish out of the asian in that person would sexy and say no african the i have to us messages may be hundreds of them in a phone with old on post, stop, ride, a bus, racism, right? docile racism sounds like right? definitely settling. okay, and you, what was your experience? yeah, as i gather, she was say, you won an apartment, you put it out there, give interest into it, and then to tell you, i don't want black or the one block into this apartment. now, this is the experience of the students, but the problems begin even before they get higher on to the island. and this,

there's a peculiar system. i'm not, some of a invest is used to recruit students onto this island. a mano luxury is a ph. d student and he's been researching this and many of the other issues that affect many of the international students. and so emmanuel explained to us day a gen system used to recruit systems to dance. i mean basically, um you could say it's a, it's a criminal system to be honest. i'm criminal in the sense that i'm to do a mislead student. in fact, we did a study recently and 50 percent of students. you said they were misled by your agent. typically what was sort of misrepresentation. would agents give to the students in some sim cases, right. i'm the or tell the student side you come into cyprus, not specifically the northern part of cyprus or the tier and see if you want to refer to either way that is not recognized. and of course you want as a question with technology, how come some students are not aware of this?

and the question is something we have poor sometimes to agents because we know this agents as well. some of them are students and they say, well, we contact parents and so the parents who have time to want, you know, check for this information to contact the parents. the parents are inch of fly tickets and you know everything with the agents. but of course, there's also different kinds of information or this information or misleading information, such as well, if you come here, you can get jobs, you can get scholarships. but the reality is, when the students who come here it is a complete different story, it is a nightmare which cannot be described in word. it can only be experience a little. i'm gonna push you right there. and then come back to you brutus. when you come in here as a student, ah, did you expect that you are going to be able to do some student job? of course i do sped, that. where were you able to do this? no. her, i'm yet to realize that these were some of the information given to me by my agent . but since i came, i haven't done anything like a popped on java, shouldn't jar?

i'm come to you facilitate philosophy as a human rights lawyer. how often do students issues come to your table? yeah, we, we hear about such cases. i especially with our partner institution, voice, cypress, and then in my institution, human rights platform. im mostly focused on human trafficking cases that international students, especially young african girls, are exposed to. so we see a lot of cases where young african girls are being deceived and decorated here by traffickers and later forced into sex work. and they are locked in private apartments most of the time, and we see that the student resides being abused by the authorities. so they come here with a student visa, but they cannot attend to the last is because the traffic has locked them in private apartments. and basically they have no freedom of movement. and we see that the authorities do not monitor the student. so where are they? what are they doing and might, don't they go to the in i said to frank, i have reliable information as well to some of the university in flip the numbers

of active students. so it's so to make it seem as though the majority of the students are actually in cross at what's the benefit in inflating the number of students that you have? i mean it's, it's in terms of attractiveness. if you have more students on the are more active than immense, your university is probably doing something that is good. so it's kind of like a selling point. i think the universities are even perpetuating the system by not regulating the agent at all. in fact, even in college, in this traffic, in that many of the agents a villain, i involved because irrespective of all of those, you know, a stupid politics. these are your students. they are registered in the universities . you have a fiduciary duty towards the students. exactly. the point and what responsibility duties investors bear. well, basically the low is not is absence in that regard. so as a manual highlighted, i agree with him that the major responsibility lies with the nurses, but also there is a high responsibility on behalf of the executive body is. so the minister is it

because they often fail to monitor have this interest is operate and they're the ones giving the permission for new ones to be established. and i also want you to sound probably give some advice to young students, especially girls. yeah, i will. i would like to tell everyone to be careful and the world really good research before they're being brought here and to get in contact with their university is not to trust on personal agencies, especially the people that they made online, especially through instagram, for instance. we've seen many fake profiles deceiving young girls, and if they're in trouble, they need to actually access us or, or the police. so i would advise them to contact the human slot from. we have a hot line as well. and so they can access to us and we will provide legally we will be there are a great not denise, would you recommend modern supposed to people who want to come here and study on i will said no because of some of the issues are face year but yes,

for the level of education now we obtaining here, our new i want to add up to will, philly's will see a lot of times people just get people from the internet and just pack the bags and come i at sometimes am baffled in a way that in this internet is somebody, can i just research where you go into, even if your parents were the one thou were counter contact at every international student? i answer not cypress has an internet phone. so i think students i want to come here yet is oakwood. place with some of the best universities around port 3. i research . if you don't have any form of soap ports, i can tell anybody to not come to noting cypress. so as she said, diori said before you come and also be aware that northern cyprus is different from the republic of cyprus.

and thanks also to that incredible panel of the young people who decided to share your stories with us. and also realize that the problems that those students fees go beyond what is acceptable if you want to hear some of the initiatives that are going to make life better for african students, go to our youtube channel. and there you can watch a longer version of this to beat jaron. all of those comments and emotions. i wonder if it's worth making jenny's such as these. we asked on our facebook page and you answered or march. um, it says that corruption and outside influence makes it very hard for us to create a conducive environment for the youth to see. all african countries might have strong leaders, like poker guy, me or for wonder and the news, ambient precedent hoc i india hatch lemma to be able to move our continent forward . and prosper. heavy in gura says immigration is a normal phenomenon. others from europe and the u. s a travel to look for

opportunities in africa. so why can't africans travel to these places? and we've got one last one from steph, n e on our facebook page. it says i left the continent 5 years ago, and i realized that a lot has changed about me. i've learned how to rule of law has been upheld by lead us as citizens to fight crime. i would encourage young people to take up the challenge by traveling out of the continent to pursue education and training. thank you all for your comments. you can also share yours with us on our facebook page, the w africa. so fi in this. sure. we have talk about young africans who want to leave the continent, but there is a growing number who are retention initiatives like honest, your return and back to africa movement encourage africans in the das for to come home to the continent and contribute to its development process. kwaku pool, want that to contribute. that is why after studying in the u. k,

she decided to move back home to got up and see why she created. he, i've had moments where my identity has been pushed or questions. people don't really know where to put you, and i think that's more of a challenge for other people, but it can affect you when you're trying to navigate in the world. and people keep putting new boxes. and my name is francis scuffle. i'm based in a crowd gonna damn joe, the creative agency that it up in 2015. and its main goal is we need to provide local luke, lisa solutions, creative solutions efficiency to arrange of international brand, entering the market. we understand what international brand one and want to achieve on the continent. he positioned ourselves as that bridge between local markets and international agencies. and we need them together so they can enter the

african market in a way that really speaks to their brand. and they don't fall into the same traps and the same mistake that they make in terms of just being sometimes completely tune deaths. we have worked with matha, we've worked with algebra, we've worked with youtube. and recently we've added the nfl to that list. the nfl have over 100 plays in the nfl that are african or african defense and, but had never really engaged with the continent in a way that they now want to do. so i went to the u. k. went to 17 and i got into university, and i did social policy in university. and it was quite a culture shock to be in the u. k. and one of the biggest things to me that was a shock was being called black, which was very odd. and growing up in

a mixed race household, it wasn't really something that i ever defined myself by. once i finished my masters, i always knew that i was going to go back to. i think it was just a matter of time. and so a summer of trying to get work. i thought i can keep living like this. i had my ticket. yeah, somewhat not clean. come back december 2011. made my way back to, to gonna one of the biggest things is as a business, you know, really have access to credit in the way that other in other countries, credit is sort of set up. so everything is good strapped and everything is you've got to find the cash and some way to make it what over the next 10 years, i really one jammed up to cement it's position as that home room agency across the continent. and that knows the continent and that is really guiding brands to enter

the market because ultimately it's our market and we know you know the things about that and give that inspiration to other agencies to do the same thing. i think for me, if you're going to move back to the continent, understand why you're coming. be open to what it has to teach. you don't come with preconceived notions of what it should be or how people should think or how people or how things should be, because it's a different language. you have to learn a different language to get the things that you want. i'm glad that francis is doing wash last and is successful at it. another person who is successful are what a do aesthetic what he is. an actor model and filmmaker, if you are normally would fun like me, you would know him as a d tiger in their netflix drama. king of boys there were 10 of the king. he says,

what are his formula for success? ah, outside of the king of work with one of the kink was definitely there was a turning point. so before the, the huge publicity came from clinger boys. most of the challenges that i had were one people trying to pull you down all to put doubt new because you have you have to your da city to do was they don't my name is to the could see i'm an outdoor model and producer. feel my car or on media personality from my local critique to an expression,
