12:32 am
t gray region has left thousands dead, millions displaced and brought firemen to the region. here's what we know about the deal is government ante, gray on authorities, agreed to we orderly, smooth and coordinated disarmament also agreed to restoration of law and order and restoration of services. but most importantly, for the people there in the region to get unhindered access to humanitarian supplies. now many wonder if the piece deal will hold. we'll explore that in a moment. but 1st, let's look at how we got here. the signing of this piece deal has been long awaited on wednesday, the ethiopian government and regional forces of dry finally put in to paper, bringing to rest a conflict that began in 2020 no matter what the cost of this war has been too high. a lot of blood has been spilt
12:33 am
property, destroyed, you've got enough the conflict and degree region began due to tensions between prime minister abbey ahmed . and the local government integral. ethiopia was ruled for 3 decades by the dry people's liberation front r t p l f. but when i'm at came to power, he formed a coalition that left out t p. a left members tpl of blamed him for centralizing power. ahmed denied the accusation that resentment turned to revolt after the government at t p a. let's funding and other disagreements piled up both sides, blame each other for the 2 year war that has raged and displaced more than 2 point . 6000000 people. but hundreds of thousands of debts on both sides and hundreds of thousands facing famine. a thief style was declared in march 2022,
12:34 am
but it didn't last long. and the war began again. people integrate are welcoming the p steel, but they are only cautiously optimistic. sell and i'm happy about the peace treaty . everyone is that we've been living on the sea gym blockade for 2 years without power, internet and banking. but nothing has been said about when these basic services will return that road banking. no one knows how quickly changes will come about. or if the piece that has just begun will last for some more analysis on this, i'm sorry now by adam cassie, a better senior advice, awful constitution on peace building at international institute for democracy and electoral assistance in the hague, the netherlands. so say a welcome to the program and agreement has been reached to seize hostilities. does that mean piece has returned to with your view?
12:35 am
oh, certainly not. it's a necessary measure, but it's far from suction. so it is critical that they have gotten to this stage about a piece will require a lot of complicated measures and it will take years. it will take years. but we are still trying to be optimistic. the last agreement did not last. how optimistic are we that this piece deal will last? what i think the last one didn't, didn't last in the sense that they all side still maintained their strength on that particular moment. and crucially, it was a unilateral agreement, so they, there was no de la such each side essentially made the announcement announced the truth. but this time it was assigned under the to, to, you know, to, to ship of the african union lady over the demons of the united nations and the united states. and he got, there's a lot more actors involved. and the military situation on the ground or citing dictates, and so there is a sense of superiority, especially on the,
12:36 am
on the fit our sites. but there's also an understanding that piece piece deal and negotiate the deal is necessary to and so it is different. there is no guarantee that it will stick about it, so it's any different and i think more hopeful. okay, and the way a lot of issues, misunderstandings here and there that lead to the war in the 1st place. half this deal resolved the issues that cause the war. no, it does not resolve them, but it provides a framework for the resolution. if you look at the deal in detail, it provides for a lot of negotiated outcomes for some of the key issues, including the, the re, presentation of decline, the in the center, the kind of inter ministration that has to be stablished. and crucially, also for, for the resolution of the contested land between, between a, between i'm hot and integral reaches. and so it's, and they said, but it's, it's not sufficient. it provides
12:37 am
a framework and necessary framework. and if the parties take advantage of them, i think they have the best chance to arrive at the negotiated sustainable solution that will not only end this war, but also, but also crucially, and future wars to prevent future wars as well. so what are the next steps to take after strike and is deal a number of measures to do? there is a lot of agreement around session of facilities, establishment funding time arrangement. and that's required. first, the removal of the t p left from the terrorist terrorism designation, which would hopefully have happened quickly because that is necessary for, for a lot of deals, formal negotiations to happen. and of course, it also progress around, around a negotiation to solve the land issue. and now this and so there's a number of a number of a number of measures and a piece of equipment. i must say it's quite optimistic in terms of its timelines. but i expect that given the complications, giving the,
12:38 am
the seriousness of the issues that will be dealt with progress will be made. but the 1st step would be, in my opinion, to start that is their mom and process the also to remove the terrorism designation . so that all of the other measures can, can proceed as planned. we're talking about that war that reached on for 2 years. a lot of people have lost the loved ones that many have been displaced. i mean, many lives have just been brought down massively. how does it move on from this? how does it feel, reconcile with all of this? i think that's perhaps the $1000000.00 question. you right has been a brutal, brutal war, particularly on the civilian population. 100 of sounds. hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians have died. and most importantly, the propaganda, the hate speech and the, the animosity between to grant and i and i'm her and i,
12:39 am
far but across the country where it has been, has been extremely, extremely worried. as in that says, i think that the most fundamental job will not, not just be to silence the guns, but also to side to silence the propaganda and starts a session, a reversed gear and use traditional traditional leaders, religious leaders, and public media to promote a new sense of identity and new sense of relationship as it would be difficult. i think we've broken a lot of bones. we've broken a lot of a lot of mind. but it, it would be necessary, i think sustainable piece will require it. and then in this regard, the agreement already anticipates and mechanism, a transitional, just mechanism to lead to reconciliation, healing to sterling and also as necessary accountability. and then of course also was necessary compensation and redress for, for individual victims. and so, you know, this is an outcome of the animosity of head trade off of decades and it will take
12:40 am
several years before it is it is completely resort. ok, adam cassie of ebay, senior advisor for constitution and peace building and international institute for democracy and electro assistance in the hague netherlands. thank you very much for your time. thank you very much. ah. there wasn't, did of the news africa still to come? i local tennis program in cameroon is changing the lives of less fortunate kids, given them the chance to dream for a possible grand slam. before we get into that, let's talk about cop 27 international conference on climate change. opens this weekend in egypt is the 1st time since 2016 that the summer is happening on african soil and opportunity for the continent to address urgent issues. for example,
12:41 am
according to some estimates, africa loses between $7.00 to $15000000000.00 a year due to climate change, despite only emitter less than 4 percent of global emissions. by comparison industrialized countries like the u. s, canada, china, japan, and large parts of western europe have contributed about 50 percent of planet warm in greenhouse gases over the past 100. yes. as a result, african countries now see more extreme weather. like massive flats. are we karen droughts? so at call $27.00, african governments will push hard for a deal to tackle the impact of climate change. one of those countries in this a hell is in the chair. it's foreign minister. assume you must, who do believe the region needs a huge financial package or estimate. we have estimated that $440000000000.00 would be needed between 201820342 be able to
12:42 am
face the climate challenge in the cell region. especially to adapt to and mitigate the damage with them and tell them that this. so these climate issues are global issues for humanity, dickey merson, dickey. so they require global solidarity. so do we have drought here because of the actions of others as sissy? we are not responsible is that shuttle to fit, but not them so that it wasn't. that wasn't a jazz foreign minister assume you must to do. now, while some parts of africa stop are severe droughts, other parts of experience in heavy and frequent rainfalls, as is currently happening in nigeria. a small town in a democratic republic of congo is also dealing with overflows from lake tanganyika . one of the world's largest lakes. the fishing communities, i've already been suffering from high water temperatures, killing fish. now the rise and water levels and mud slides are fair that invested
12:43 am
in the community. the lake is eating away at homes, bit by bit and meter by meter. the water is or isn't so high. the thousands of people in the town of calamity have been displaced, was known as ab would have one. yorba linda, come down here was a very nice house, adequate, 5 and aaliyah, who on the other side all the people have fled when we don't know where to get help so that we can rebuild the whole of what they like it, what they will, what the what, what am i look at all this closely? but i know what the result of a 70 back in busy, about a living to one nightmare. tanganyika has destroyed us all. what did i know now, young lady, that i needed to find out in and funny cause? tongue anika is the world's 2nd deepest fresh water lake. local residence, depend on its fish to make a living. but rising water, temperatures have killed massive amounts of fish. on top of that, the lake has become a danger to the people. it once fed,
12:44 am
floods and storms are common in tropical countries, like the democratic republic of congo, the climate change is now making them more frequent and more severe. now when it rains the earth slides that's washed, huge chunks of silt into the lake and cause water levels to search. the rise, according to this official, has been very rapid. well, you'll receive among the mafia of lake tang janica has risen to a level of more or less 5 to 6 meters in height. and advanced to 100 the 250 meters in land towards the continent all in 3 years. a difference and count map also really plausible for calamity residence each day has become unpredictable. the hope is that the global community will take note of it and that's why well lead us government officials and other delegates will attend to
12:45 am
this. yes. climate change conference in egypt, many young climate activists will also be there for how the, on our speaking to one of them. and he da, selena, it 22 year old environmental activist an offer from kenya. she told me why it was so important for her to attend cop 27. i 1st of all believe that the only qualification that we all need to confess, environmental participate in climate action is the fact that we live in this planet . and the fact that they say they've no planet be, they've no livable planet be. we only have one at an eye that method, that the way we of young people shall come and protect the planet. another thing is looking. it's not only affecting our future into the, affecting our presence, so they, the need for all of us to come together is one voice to champion for climate action . very eloquently said now a while ago you said quote, we already feeling the effects of the climate crisis. there's no way to quarantine
12:46 am
from the climate crisis, therefore, we must act and now are you seeing that lead us? i'm not doing enough to tackle climate change or yes, our leaders have previously not stucco clement criteria, the crisis that it is. it has been science and conferences and meetings of discussions and commitments being put in place but not really being taken. is that correct? if that is why i say so if, because it has taken lots of lives of inferior hunger that we having now in kenya, mudslides landslide planning, even in the western countries for lead us to actually start looking at it like you to the emergency. when clearly, all these things happening were predicted before. so if they took leave of an emergency, that it is, i believe that would not be having the was effective climate and that we having right now, i remember when they joined the space,
12:47 am
i used to hear these of these saying that fantasy a warning that by 2030 we are going to have the was impacts of climate change being advisable for this is to say that there has been sense if acknowledged before, but there have been little action to claim it. another thing is also i am looking at coffee here. the reason i say so because of covered covered should have that are lead of can actually if they want when we had no covered cases a day late to day and day like tomorrow we have one coffee case and there with money been put in place to contain coffee, there was a lot of a lot of action towards containing coffee. so i was trying to imagine, you know, for coffee, the lease we call self. i so live we call quarantining the house. but for climate change, i don't know how you can quarantine from flooding. so it is clear,
12:48 am
clear that if nickel absolutely on that, then it could be easy on the end for the if we cannot self isolate. yeah, totally. i mean, as you said, us, no planet be. so this is the only planet that we have. tell us. you particularly have a personal connection to climate change. what is it? yeah, i'd say growing up in the pattern from the monthly community there. i probably belong to, we have been the most affected one of the most affected community by climate change . i mean, we have had drought before by this time it's been very severe with almost 4 years of no short and long rates. we. i remember growing up elsewhere from my mom's family, which is away from them. i say community we used to from 24. we used to fund maybe twice a year, but today because of changing weather patterns and rainfall distribution, you really that we have to meet on the want to be the other thing that i've also
12:49 am
affected food production, we have the what us car city issue, it's affecting livestock and it, it's actually even affecting our way of lives. it's affecting everything including culture, which now we as possibly have to start thinking how we are going to live differently, how we are going to do away with, with, with life so that we can be able to adapt to the current climate change situations and possible future if i can, you know climate activist anita lee. and so what does africa need to tackle climate change? that's the question i put to true committee j. k k, a professor of global climate on environmental governance at alex equipment, federal university in jail. so 5 teams basically, 1st dad needs to be clear plan. second, danny, to be clear policy terms,
12:50 am
there needs to be finance for to be nice to be technical capability. and the 5th one down is to be strong international collaboration. actually when you look at her african countries, you see that many of them have already ah, ticked the box in about 2 or 3 of dos. so are nearly all african countries have a big ambition to tackle climate change as contained in the, our national lead time in contribution. some african countries have already gone on her to make net 0 pledges. for example, nigeria has a net 0 pledge by 2 into 60 and also jose and national climate change act. one thing you mentioned, things that we all sorts of got you. the one thing you mentioned in your 5 points that you made was the finance show parts right. financing is very key in helping to tackle climate change. and we know that africa is going to a few the effects more while the mean pollutants. maybe not so much,
12:51 am
but pledges and commitments have been made by industrialized industrialized nations, but they have not been kept. why is africa not getting the help and needs well, i think that is the question that is perhaps, have been best answered by the rich countries who have made it promises and failed to keep them. this is also the question that i have hard for the rich countries for a very long time. they often say that there is no money bow tie. what with saw would it cov 19, was that when they needed the money, they were able to get it. so how optimistic are you that? well, lead us. well at the end of $27.00, walk that talk i would like to be, but unfortunately i'm not very optimistic. the challenges are coming to serve on is taking place at a time of very difficult as your strategic landscape where to warn you korean,
12:52 am
but also the mid term election that is common in the united states. and so we do not know even that some of the big lead us will our tent. but however, that has not stopped african leaders from macon to point out called 27 has to work for africa. so let's see how it goes. ok to cool, mary. do ok, professor of global climate of our mental governance at our legs, equipment federal university and jerry, thank you very much for your time. ah, now what do you do when lack of opportunities prevent you from chase in your dreams . that was a situation for some kids in common room until they finally got the help they needed. a local tennis program is providing kids with iep, please to plead a sports and dream big. the program was set up by for my communion tennis champion, just f. i a bug,
12:53 am
a few years ago he turned his family's backyard into the tennis court. did abuse blaze. a young went to visit the place and sent us this report from 2 other former to miss champion has transfer more get into tennis court. it is in a modest sub income rose larger city. for chanel is 13 years old. she lives with her mother and her father. just a few minutes walk from the academy. she lost the knees and goes out to practice every day. jesse martinez, dream machine, i feel very relax and i'm quite motivated. when i play tennis, i don't give up. i'm glad for every point gain because i know every point is important. example motivated by all that shooter chanel started play here. when she was just 6 years, all the academy takes intruder where each between 3 to eatin or from
12:54 am
disadvantaged by grouse. most of them come to practice every day after school throughout the year. like most of the other keats shall know. spirits don't have more spare money, but i know this could be life changing for her and it, but ownership, what it is, my parents always support me when i come here to play tennis. said love despite their challenges at work and the financial problems, i get support from them as i push ahead with playing tennis, even with diesel football is the most popular sports in. cameroon is equality. the most accessible tennis on the other hand is still seen as a sport for rich people. the academy has produced dozens of geno national champions in camera. some of the children have gone ahead to play other african countries, while others of gin scholarships to saudi in america. these instructor sees it is the impact the program has on the tudor in this poor community. don't want to be
12:55 am
seemed the most to which you know in at that school the don't know where to go. some of them on the street. so when the initiative came up in this katie, which said to recruit them and bring them to the tennis court that would integrate into tennis, who committed allied by tennis on the light is better in tennis. you can see by yourself. shalon may be playing on a concrete caught in a bag yet in walla, but one teeny stroke at a time. she has a i said on a grand slam mash point. and that's how we wrap up the show. for more of our stories go to d, w dot com slash africa. don't miss out on facebook and twitter. i remember of 27 begins in egypt this sunday. a time for well lead us to tako climate change together. we leave you with some pictures reminding ask of why we need to preserve and protect the only livable plan that we have. i am eddie micah junior, thanks for sharing your time with
