1:37 am
i am joined by mohammed up because he is director for east africa and the horn of africa at the u. n's international organization for migration. it's good to have you on the program. thank you so much for being here. mr. optic and let's begin by talking about the migration in africa that is being caused by climate change. just what is the scale of this challenge. thank you for having be here today. first, we need to talk about climate change. we can no longer ignore the issue of displacement, mobility, and migration, and we never used to talk about that. and right now we're bringing issue fall mobility in migration that is becoming key for us. a good example is in somalia, where today we have over 1300000 people displaced because of flaw induced climate migration. 1.3000000 people. at the same time, you have close to 7800000 people in need of food assistance. and if we don't act very quickly, we have over 280000 people who are an acute food insecurity who might die because
1:38 am
of lack of food. that just gives you an example of this, kill somalia. but if you look at the region itself over 36 point to 1000000 people in need of assistance because of slow onset climate to my does that we're dealing with today? well, i mean these, these numbers, i say she and you talked about action. and now i'm going to get to that point in a short man, but let's talk about the patterns. if we can, when people do move, how do they move it? and where are they likely to go a bit right now. what's happened is the a lot of the rural about migration i can use so might as a case study, where we're seeing a large number of somal is moving away from the rural areas to the capital city or to the cities with the kind of country itself we've had a lot by door decides with state you have hundreds of thousands of somalis who also ran away from al bob held areas is an extremist group to run from there. now they're going to buy though and looking for assistance and we have to over 10000 for example, i have last week alone, 10000 people asking for assistance where the un and humans and buttons are
1:39 am
providing food, shelter, shelter, non food items for the ability to deal with this, but that is just in somalia, you have some of them in burundi. you have the rising waters afflicting a new gun which is displacing hundreds of bonds themselves. you've got to south to don is a whole city called been too under water. the last 7 months because of climate change. mr. ab digger and here in europe at the focus is on the migrants who take the roots, are off crossing the mediterranean. many have died doing so, but in east and africa we do work. and there are also dangerous routes that people are taking. he is tennis, mom, and the biggest wrote the biggest maritime wrote in the world, is called ist and wrote the biggest maritime wrote in the world. everybody talks about libya made it her and, and to europe. there were talked about mexico u. s. border, but when you talk about the eastern drug to talk about the largest maritime migration world in the world, from the horn of africa through somalia,
1:40 am
djibouti the red sea to yemen, which is a country and conflict to saudi arabia every year we have a close 250000 people, 150000 people who cross through these countries in deserts in smuggled and prospect going into i'm in a conflict, so i'm going into saudi arabia. at the same time, we have saudi arabia deporting a large number of this migrants back their home countries. a good example is in ethiopia. they've deported the last 7 months, a 103000. it's your bills back to if you're bits of an, a lot of those people on the move would classify as being climate change, refugees, people who've been displaced because of climate change. and generally is this is you've been given enough attention. that is, is the international community committing enough money to helping people in this case, preposition, you've told us some really astonishing numbers the, we ought to have come up with what we call the migrant response plan for one of africa and yemen. it's appealing for about close to
1:41 am
a $100000000.00 to support this migrants in djibouti, in yemen, in somalia and any of your good self. we're getting some support, not as much as we wanted to get, but it's not as much support as we would like to see. and we always appealed to our development part. doesn't dawn us to increase that support. we've seen the smuggling the trafficking. we've seen that economic impact this house on this migrants and we're seeing a very different trend, which is the feminization of migration before it used to be men on the move trying to fit their families. but noticing more and more women and girls on the move as well. and that is what is worrying us more because of the traffic in the abused agenda. business violence, they've gone through on the en route to their migration was tried to reach mostly saudi arabia. that's where they want to go. that's where the domestic walker's is. the irregular migrants themselves and that it has an impact, but also it's not just climate induced migration. what we have is very much an economic reason. we asked them all the time. why are you on the move and all of
1:42 am
them tell us i have no job. is poverty, lack of economic opportunities in the region and people on the move. oh, miss applica, we could really go on for a lot longer. but i think we, we can leave a chair right now that is mohammed optical from the international organization, off migration. thank you sir, but to pardon me? ah. your watching deed, every news africa still to come. an ancient african princess awaits in the cellar of a munich museum and begins to dream of her ancestral homeland in africa. but 1st, for those who are forced to flee, there is often an eternal longing to return home. climate change is also a driver of conflict. in northern nigeria where broke her arm rebels destroyed houses and drove thousands into camps in born state. but now some of them are going home as dw news,

1:46 am
to, to, to walk around to meet your friends, to speak with family at peace grandma's. 6 on the project is a joint i thought of the barn state government and the united nations development program. and it still has the aim is to replicate this model elsewhere because people have been denied for more than a decade. ability to come back home. not only to come home for decade, they have been in comes and you know, come so important in terms of saving lives and broke for the security, but also takes away duty for many people. so he is also coming back to dignity. but the insurgency and violent extreme is him, are not banished from bonus, didn't completely. there remains concerns about security in many areas. but for the people of an gannon, the rece at least returned to dignity. as did we discover normal life. again.
1:47 am
my next guest is the architect who designed the homes you just saw in that report to see an ocean or she joins as from lagos. welcome to the revenues, africa tell seen, it's good to see you. so you're an architect by trade. how was this project different to the homes that you've designed before? i thank you for having me. this is the last person that i've done within the humanitarian. i do tend to work in the private sector dealing with individual clients. so companies, corporations, and this project specifically was different because it's humanitarian and there were a lot of stakeholders. but ultimately what was really important to me was ensuring that i was still treating the community as, as a private clients. right. so it was important to me to ensure that i was able to speak them about their requirements, what exactly they needed in their homes. and one of the questions i asked them in one of the consultation, what color they would like the building to be. and i had already seen some
1:48 am
traditional buildings in the area and the location way we have this meeting was in a school and there was a color that's very close. what's called the end up with jeff brown. and that's actually very similar to the color of a building goals. and i realize that this was really a call of nostalgia, which they didn't realize. and it was because of that i was very specific that we would have to ensure that we use the ground condition to create the finish the was of the building. so obviously trying as much as possible, take them back to what they would have had before the inside and, and it really look stunning, those, those, those colors or any compelling. but we heard from some of the beneficiaries in the report and they expressed how much it means to them to finally have decent housing . what has this meant for you to be able to be involved in a project that's about restoring the dignity of your fellow countrymen and women who have been the victims of vocal harm? i think it, it means so much it's, it's the most impactful what i've done today to be able to contribute towards that
1:49 am
i'm, it's little things you know, it's making sure that you're providing housing that's comfortable for the end user cross ventilation. making sure that the homes are appropriate, that they're not, that there's no build up of having around the areas for them to sit outside because there isn't much kind of become because of the region. and also because a lot of the base station had been taken down to reduce lines of sight to reduce that conflicts of lines of sites. so, you know, it, it mean so much and, and to know that one is really adding value to people's lives and hopefully providing them infrastructure that will give them the opportunity to really get back to what they need to do to have a nice progressive economic development yes, well, it means a lot incredible stuff and, and thank you for the time you've taken to to be on the program. great work to same ocean or talking to us from lake or stay. thank you. thank you very much, lou. now from people returning to rebuild their lives,
1:50 am
to the return of looted african artifacts. currently in museums in the west, it has been the subject of much debate in recent years now was even inspired as story scripted for stage and screen actually 2 stages, 2 audiences. but one show which brings a 12 century west african sculpture to life, go measure it wasn't really good movie, common in her 2 venues, nearly 5000 kilometers apart with the live video link being the bridge connecting them. it's a complex attempt at shining the spotlight on an even more complex topic about looted african cultural treasures in european museums, many slumbering in the vaults. one of them, a statue of yet anger, a warrior princess of the medieval de, gone by kingdom. now in modern day, burkina faso awakes to life in a munich museum. the play shows what could
1:51 am
a stature have seen all over these years? what could have february read off, and this that your dreams of returning to west africa. if the actors of the ensemble developed this vision of a return simultaneously a both venues in munich and in law, man, the theatre as a means of connecting people on 2 continents, the colonizing country, and the descendants of the rod for thinking about how, whether it is to be together in their mental way, because you're seeing the same thing, but you're not physically together. this is for me, bizarre and beautiful at the same time a poetic play about the search for justice in dealing with looted artifacts, which has deep significance for the actors and the audience. in ohio. they tell us our history, the history that we sometimes seem to have forgotten. i'm really excited about the conversations this is evoking and like these coming out of the african communities
