the war in ethiopia. there were deadly attacks in the northern region of to drive this week to get an update on the situation and developments in the region and 2 seasons into the basketball africa league i'll be joined in studio by the man who is in charge of the b. i'm a do fall will talk about his vision for the sport in africa. ah, ah. hello, i'm christine. wonder. it is good to have your company. the death of queen elizabeth the 2nd has re ignited the conversation about britain's colonial past. now because of that history feelings about her legacy are mixed in many places, particularly in britain's former colonies, d w, as felix marina went to the hotel in kenya, where she heard she was queen. and as you'll see in the report,

it's also near where british soldiers laser carried out atrocities against independence fighters in the country. this is where princess elizabeth became queen. she was thing in the original true drops, are telling kenneth about the unnatural park when she was told her father had died, making her the morlock in the reception of the rebuilt hotel, a book of condolence for guests to write their comments. i must degraw a guide who walks there says his father cooked for elizabeth when she stayed here in 1952. queen was very talkative to their cooks with us and they could follow this call nor did stuff around were working in auto. and then i get to them together and give them our tip and they were very happy when the staff are given the money than the grant helped deformities. so they are very

up under the doctor, queen very much. at the time kennel was still part of the british empire. soon the hotel became the target of homo in dependent fight. as they bonded, like every british establishment they could find, we have done, i must act on all of our kenya here in the central proteins. i'd think we decided to bonded their tail and that's why the bunk below aj. i did, nothing was left, the hotel was burnt up to ashes. it is here are the tree tops hotel in mount kang, at that queen elizabeth the land of her father's death. and that immediately ushered her into her new role as queen. but just a few months down the line in october 1952, when this state of emergency was introduced. a few kilometers from here, some of the worst atrocities committed on the mo, mo, fight as what dan, by the british soldiers and other queens watch. with only my thinking is one of the few surviving mo, mold pillars. why does she still has nightmares about the mortality of the british

soldiers? i now you are, well i wake up in the middle of the night screaming when i remember the harassment that used to take place in the forest. that fight was terribly brutal. the soldiers would storm into the homes, killed the young men and the children to oh, i know and i cannot, well, i went to yellow gall, our ballier this year of ultimate finger asked queen elizabeth to compensate her for the torture. she said british soldiers inflicted upon her a video of her calling for justice has been viewed more than 9000000 times. she says, king charles shall not take responsibility yet yet. i have not stopped seeking compensation . in fact, just the other day i sent word to them saying the son should send me what belongs to me, and he should send to no one else. but miriam with thorn in my finger who went to fight for kenya's independence in the forest. while some will take the opportunity

to write in walks of condolence, miracles fill these and finished business with their former rulers. to continue the conversation, we've invited joshua quincy icons on to the program. he is a political scientist and human rights activist. his areas of research includes development politics from a d colonial perspective. he's working on his ph. d at the university of capital here in germany. welcome to dw, nice africa josh with good pleasure to have you on the program it's. it's been pointed out that queen elizabeth the 2nd never apologized for the crimes that were committed in the crowns name during colonialism. what that have made a difference? yes, it would absolutely have made a difference. and you can see that would've made the difference. if you look at how the members of the royal family have actually actively sidestepped apologies, for example, last year on there 2 of the caribbean where they were met was protest on this very

issue when they were met with demands to apologize. and they found words describing the atrocities of enslavement and such, but they stopped short of an apology. and the simple reason is that such an apology could have legal consequences because once he apologized, you have admitted capability and waste that could find you in court. and because have just heard from kenya, i also want to stress the fact that some of these issues are not about the far past, but also about very, very recent issues. for example, a court case who will be brought to the japan court of human rights. this year, where kenyans were displaced under her majesty's reign under queen elizabeth's reign. how soon after they have found no redress in british court and have found no redress with the crown. so this clearly shows that yes, an apology is called for an apology, would have consequences,

and the people who are demanding the apology and now seeking other ways of redress . and a very real example that we saw in kenya and living person who could speak to what colonialism meant for her and, and, and what it did in her life. but if we can broaden this out to, to the african countries or the, the continent of africa. what is the legacy of british colonialism on the african continent? i mean, the british empire was one of the largest in history, and it has a lot centuries long, rain of vitality that stretched, you know, as you know, across the world, but it, especially impacted african africans from the time of enslavement. through the time of colonialism all the way and we should not forget that to the so called postcolonial period, where we again, in, including, and rain or winter, the beth had britain meddling in african affairs. so yes, there is

a long list of brutality of displacement. there is a long list of colonial thefts, and this is true for both artworks and for natural resources if it's true for many of the most glamorous items. in fact, in elizabeth crown jewels, right? but it is also true for wars such as the be offering war, where we had britain supply weapons tonight. julia, under the watch of queen elizabeth, it is true for kenya, where like i just said, and like the mamma fighter, also just iterated. we had incredible challenge he including under elizabeth rain herself so we mustn't lose sight of the fact that this is a long history that stretches into the present where we have millions of people who are alive to day that are directly impacted by the injustices by the brutality by

the theft and plunder that emanated from london, there was orchestrated by the british empire. now, the fact that this legacy is a questionable one also becomes very, very queer, clear if we look at the way in which britain has dealt with this. because there was literally an operation legacy that was designed to instruct the story that was designed actually and instruct their colonial officials and the foreign office workers in the former colonies to destroy a lot of evidence, a lot of documents that would actually prove some of these corn atrocities, and so orders were given to destroy such documents that would embarrass um, you know, her majesty's, the queen's government. and this included an instructions that were very clear about who should even be able to see and access and destroy these documents. and

some cases it was, the people were taught that only white people of british descent should even be able to see and able to destroy these documents because it was clear that some of the, you know, a racist and cruel policies that were documented, there would not just be an embarrassment, but again, could be the base for legal action. joshua, what role then could britain's new monarch at tin, charles, the 3rd play in, in having the british monarchy, confront, and mpg re dress the countries colonial past. at the key question. so what we are faced with is actually a sanitized legacy of the crown when it comes to going in history. and i think the new king is called upon to actually and actively change that. so there is a very, very clear expectation. there are calls from both south africa and from india that are specifically about the crown jewels. right?

that are now supposed to come into the possession of, you know, his wife camilla and people are saying, well, why should that happen? they should be transferred, or some of these incredible gemstones should be transferred to indians with africa would actually come from. but beyond that, people are saying there needs to be an apology and needs to be redressed. we mustn't the side of the fact that the crown has incredible wealth and more than $17000000000.00 us dollars are not in british possession, but in possession of the crown. and there are other operations such as the dutchy of cornwall, which generates which itself is again, multi $1000000000.00 will than $1000000000.00 tape. it generates revenue for the royal family for its own use. and so this is where we can see that some of the bridges of enslavement. some of the riches of cronyism have been invested and are still benefiting the royal family to day. and that is where people are saying

this is where we need to have redress. and this actually precedent in the u. k. where we had, for example, the university of glasgow doing a slavery audit when it's tried to understand. so how have we as an institution actually benefited from an statement? and i think the time is ripe for the crown to undergo most slavery and colonialism audit to actually face up their responsibilities. intriguing staff, as always, it's a good to have you on the program. joshua quincy, icons, thank you for your insight and for weighing in on this conversation for us. thank you. ah, he watching database is africa still to come basketball in berlin from africa? ah, your ball is really about but

1st to the conflict in ethiopia, there's been a sustained diplomatic push, trying to bring peace to the countries northern region to cry. with the 2 conflict parties reportedly holding us sponsor talks in neighboring djibouti. now just days ago, the ruling to gray people's liberation, france said it was ready for a ceasefire. and peace talks with the ethiopian government in at is about. now there's been more violence. ah, time runs differently here. the ethiopian new year has just begun and it's been cause for celebration for more than 2000 years. but since war returned, there's been little reason for joy. as you can see now everything is expensive. if there was peace, it wouldn't be like either any good though mother don't people have less income and they can no longer afford this. and therefore the current situation is very

difficult. young, i think of peace comes to the country when prices will go down. very guns aluminum this new year did bring a statement from the te gray people's liberation front. the t p a left said they would participate in an immediate cessation of hostilities, leading to a permanent ceasefire with mediation through the african union. but just days later, trans try to hit the to grind capital mecolas dealing another blow to any hopes for peace. hospital staff say at least 10 people died on that morning alone. the attacks hit a university, a tv station, and this residential neighborhood. inside what's left of this home, the family dog lies dead. the t p a left claims the government of prime minister abbey are met, accusing adis of quote, defying any possibility of a peaceful solution. ethiopian government has not commented on the latest air raids . the fighting and t dry resumed in august between government forces and rebels led

by the t p l. f. alongside the conflict t guy is under communications blackout, and the ukraine war has made an already disastrous humanitarian situation. even worse. in june, 87 percent of people surveyed and to grow food insecure, more than half of them severely. so the front wants to make t gray independent of ethiopia. it ruled the country for decades before abbey took office in 2018. abby's government says a t p l f is a terrorist group and said the ethiopian army in to topple it in 2020. but would code in and out. now i'd like to bring in collector when joy is a journalist based and ethiopia as capital addis ababa. it's good to have you on the program at colette. what more do you know about what is currently happening in sir grey? well, what we're hearing a little, what is coming of the news that is coming out of this coming from there are

communication channels of the to greg people's liberation front of the degrade government. and we've seen a lot of them really not a concern raising a lot of the quote unquote desperation up until on what they call a continuous attacks by the government. well, that's the from the other side, from the, from the material agencies. they've already raised concerning to see that already the situation is had to go, was there any dia, even before the new fighting began? so they're saying that the gap of supply of material issues is going to be really be more wind, you know, if a versus fire is not reached and a continuation of maintenance of life. i mean, that goes on. so it's an issue of desperation, an issue or also looking into how to verify information that's coming out of there because of the unsightly government hasn't received much in the past few days. you talked about a ceasefire. collette had there was a cease fire that is that the fighting had stopped for about 5 months into gray.

what, what led to that cease fire being broken now that we have this renewed fighting? well, this is so elaine left us is for declared by the, by the government of if you can, it was i went in and says fire of those that came up that a little supplies, material assistance wasn't going into the 5 months. so supplies going mean, although the you, when you mention it, if you say to not enough, but at least there was something going in. now as of now, it is really hard for us to see. this is what exactly brought back to finding a fresh because we've seen it the government blaming the t p a left for refusing to ascend to the issue of a government for it forces and wasn't yes, it's really hard to really tell a particular point to say this is what the fighting because it's been blemishes

between the 2. get the tests a case of conflicting narratives. what you were talking about, the lead is integral they, that is a t p. and if they said that they are ready for peace talks with the government in a bad, they say that on condition that those p strokes are led by the african union. how significant is this development? well, what we saw that the declaration of the, of the government on the issue of the stock was kind of a compromise. because we know and you know, they had said that they do not trust the african union committee and that the fact that the president of can you need the process. so now the new announcement, accepting that the african union should lead the process kind of conforms to what the government had also wanted. you know, so that was kind of a compromise on the end of what analysts say. but at the end of the day, they say they're ready budget, then we saw reports of a s, right. that means and we must really got a confirmation or denial from the government on these issues. and also the

government has not really responded foreman to the g p a to great government piece . so where we stand right now, it's more of a one sided quest for peace. and the government simply means that these are not, you know, community or the government to ensure that they keep their why don't the requirement for peace talks. all right, that is the journalist. call it a one joy talking to us from at is about there. thank you for your reporting. ah. finally, the eyepiece from the basketball africa league are visiting germany promoting their sport. the b a. l is a young initiative driving professionalization of the sports on the continent where many talents are still not able to find opportunities to earn a living from their passion. now the lead wants to foster new investment in african basketball through collaboration between the us based national basketball

association. we're in b and the international basketball federation. and in studio with me now is i'm, i do fall, he is the president of the basketball africa leave. it's a great pleasure to have you in the studio, so they call you the godfather of basketball in africa and i'm just calling for you to let us in on. what is your vision for the sports in africa? well, just to continue to drive growth, you know, for basketball, this tremendous passion on the continent across the board and lot of talent basketball is a global game. really, you know, you look at the end here and what lead has been able to achieve being the only sports lived are going to want to say that the best for, you know, sport play in india and b a. so we want to make sure to africa continues to, to player role not only provider of talent,

but at the same time with what you're looking to do today with the boss will need to have a showcase right where the could be nurtured. we're grown and in the process with an industry on basketball. okay. and, and have, let's talk about the lead because you've, you've now had 2 seasons. how's that gone? are you pleased with the progress? well, given the circumstances and how we launched in the middle of a pandemic in 2021, were extremely pleased because we were able to play a full slate of in 2021. with all our 12 teams are coming from 12 countries. 2 weeks of excel basketball will receive from or across the world because the games are broadcasted in 215 countries around the world. i've been really showcase the display of not only the best data from africa, but also we attracted to global top right. do you have plans to develop the women's game on?

ultimately, it is our desire to continue to grow the popularity of basketball or just so you kind of in your ignore more than half the population. basketball amongst women happen to be extremely popular. does certain countries on the continent does always done well, and i got a job. so certainly the day will come right now. we want to focus on making sure that we put this dis, league on the global map. and then, you know, we'll continue to grow from there. i mean, the editor for me is my mother played basketball in school. she's an avid fan, and in some bubble that she went to school. but i am interested in your personal story as well, in terms of what this game at which you played as well, how it impacts if your life. i think everything that i, you know, doing today i mean, certainly owed to the opportunity to, to play the game basketball and use it as a, as a conduit to, you know,

getting my college degree and really all the doors that open for me. and this is what we try to replicate and you know, as often as we can on other young people ultimately does really what we use as a strategy to grow the game of basketball on the continent using it as a tool to empower young people. if we're going to grow africa, we have to focus on the you with them, with the tools and education is central. and i think we tap into the intrinsic passion for support basketball to particularly to get them to really focus on you know, things like responsibility towards the community and those that are extremely talented . also, we've created now a complete pathway for them to engage with the game addresses level and have an opportunity to be selected in the academies and ultimately go to the n b a all play in the basketball for to live in this process. we are going to really grow and

develop a basketball in the various countries and this is the number one prior to want to make sure the whole system grows. speaking of your priorities, where do you see the basketball african need in tenure? what are the best is going to be one of the best professional basketball league in the world outside of the talent we have on the continent. and now that when the infrastructure start to catch up, because countries are starting to realize of sports can be any kind of growth engine in dust. really, our mentor does what we push, that's why the bus couple africa leagues here, an opportunity to showcase everything that africa has best to offer. this is going to boost tourism and obviously boost economies for the different countries. there's a reason why we chose to go to host or finals, and we're going to have an environment where other countries are going to want to host activities like the basketball africa league tournaments, but we need the infrastructure to catch up. so this league is just in its 2nd season, we are busy planning for, for next year, a lot of excitement. we had an opportunity here to engage with some fans here in

bold im mostly from the african dash for it. we were looking to really invite people to come to a different markets where we'll be playing to come and enjoy basketball by the same time, discover incredible clinics. it is enough. incredible. well, we look forward to having you back on the program to tell you, tell us how that is all going. so that is miss. i do fall who is president of the basketball africa league, and that's way we leave it for today. be sure to check out destroys on d. w dot com, forward slash africa were also on facebook. and on with welcome with everything
