5:32 pm
it had carried out mass atrocities in some of these places, particularly the genocide in namibia or some of the colonial administrators was celebrated here even having streets and monuments named after them. a group of activists have made it their mission to have those names changed. and after years of intense lobbying, they've made major progress. he may, are ha, yesterday has been decades in the making activists from the african diaspora and n g olds. have long been calling for the names of german colonizers to be removed from berlin streets during a ceremony with authorities, local activists, and a delegation from cameroon. to streets of the so called african quarter, a residential area in the north west of berlin. now got new names. isn't what you have ordered sufficient access. wonder. this street was named after out of flu dalits, who established imperial germany's colony. in what is the modern day country of

5:34 pm
a completely different understanding. we now know what these people actually did in the colonies. how many people they killed franchise that on this you, they mentioned, do you do that? how might have added on, but the work of the activists is not over yet. as suggested by the n g also, the district government is expected to place memorial plex and information stance in the area. and the hope is that the last remaining streets, named after a german colonizer, can soon be re named after a member of the african resistance. and a war fought in eastern africa against german colonialism. these developments are the result of decades of campaigning. i caught up with one of the people who has been leading these efforts here in berlin. this is berlin's africanist esparsa. and that means african street is one of the cities african quarter. you might be wondering what that means. well, we know somebody here who knows all about bad knack out cerebral. you've given guided tours of this area for more than 15 years, walk out to d,
5:35 pm
w africa. thank hill i santa santa so why is this called the african quarter, and what exactly is african about it? this african quarter, you find the germans, when they become a colonial power. you'll find that some people from german, from belinda were in london only paris. and they saw streets to their having offered the names. and did they did? he asked himself, so why did they have such threats with the african names? then they came to the answer. oh, because they are colonial empire as now. oh, so we're a colonial empire because german became lit a colonial power. so then they said let us show the word or so we, i, colonial power. then the study to with this quote, he ain't bailing with just only $52.00 straits coming out on his future dog streets
5:36 pm
. and then they went on extending to this quarter during the weimar republic, julian delagarza time, and at the end of 1958 there came here to the ghana street. but if we look at each exactly, it easier, colonial corta because you find it has 3 streets among different phosphates, which i named and a person. i'm this person's at the so called the founder of the colonies in africa . so this is one of those places you said is named after a person. can you tell us more about it? this is claire. here is name is glory. fine. mr. gustav knocked to god. mr. go stuff. not to come. was an africa explorer. he was in madison doctor and also he was a kind over dear pro much. so when did you must go to the colony?
5:37 pm
come at only handy toggle. come erin, was there plantation? colony? so people were brought down to staci plantations there. but there are people resist, so den their eyes concealer. mr. bismark sent me, stuck with stuff, not de god, to come aaron to secure their colony. so when he came there, he went to the traditionally does our chiefs patel them. this country now belongs to the kaiser that you've said no way. so what he did, he took their daughters and the sons of the chiefs as hostages, and he put them into his can you boss? so dad, he was now do you mind into the chiefs?
5:38 pm
if you don't obey the orders, then we're not going to see them all the sort him talking about miss douglas tough . he was the one who planned age because he was the boss there. so a brutal colonial legacy, but who is the square and now going to be named after? now this is claire. it is good now to be named under mung, a bed road or flung a bed. but he really is, is among our bell define merely name because also his wife, emily, among a bit also was fired in with him. rudolf among a bay was a young come, marian jordan de jim and colon. your timing come at are on. he came here in german for some causes and he demanded to their gov meant debt, the gymnast this should lead to the people who come out on their way there took in
5:39 pm
their own people here and they didn't want to hear him. what he said you mind in though he just left you went to bed to com, eroni and he joined their so called to rebels against a day jim, i knew colonial power and then he was coach. he was excruciating in 2014. so this is another spot, ludovico strasser, who's looters, low dairy. it's he wench to namibia, which that time was german, saudi west, in the beginning of $1884.00. and he went to that emma chief and he asked it to buy a land, a victim. the land was big enough. the chief saw to him a piece of lunch. and mister lew down his after getting this piece of land, he put the gross there. at reagan, ross and college lou data,
5:40 pm
it's leg. then he came back to german before their conference. they're betting a confidence to start it. and he sold this piece of land to their gemini, or i ish at next time. and we, we, we call him low down at it's the liar fritz. there lie air because this piece of land which he bulge there. now my people and you just only the english myers. but he changed his mind to german mize, which you find a gym and my these 5 times a british my video fight the was a very big area. and then they took this lead as, as settlers lunch and said to les colony, and who is the street now going to be named after this right here now, is claim to be named under cornelius fredericks fernando's
5:41 pm
friend. it's was, it's an additional usa, a chief of the now a people who are so let's his warriors in deceased ammunition war of 190421908. and then he was captured and he was taken to a concentration pump. and his where he was executed, but dare you find. he died with a lot of men and lot of women and children. and when they did excuse him, they chopped off his head. and the head was brought to he. a clergyman at this time, for us is due to such as they are a lot of such a heads here and bones which were brought to jail and forest researches. and 10, we found that if the street now is going to be re named dead, this man dissolve. the beauty meant here, his head,
5:42 pm
his 2 here in gibbon and his grinded grunt, children still are looking for 8 when they are he and jim and always day a cried for. they had 2 decades to buck so that they could body him according to their traditions. so what about this street? we're on paces only beat us. a lay is glorifying coll, pettus, called pit us. he's been kick in as the founder. all jail money is to africa, colony wish to days, tanzania, rwanda, andy barone, and cockpit us. he was very, very, very brutal. in tons i, nia, people called him cornel adamo in kiswahili corner. his hind and dumb is blood blad, the handy, and he a gym and he was known as hang pita. he went on killing
5:43 pm
people hanging people. then the hot to order him back home say was called beck, and he didn't being glorified d n aware that steely we find him here. he was renamed, he was named here who was named here in 1939. when the 2nd world war started, the 2nd ward you were chosen to was not to just only to asked. i mean ne, to the jews, but also the germans. there one day did their place under the sun, which they lost. so they wanted their colonies back. and missed a beat, us decide their footsteps to be followed. that's why he was named here in 19 said to ny andy, we have been fighting for renaming this a street since 1984. 0, why are you so passionate about this?
5:44 pm
cause i did the promise, my grandmother, when i came here and i saw the street, i did talk to her and she called me no final to be true. it cannot be true to must be the name. i just remember who i now was just only 4 years old and it was a full moonlight outside. my grandmother told me, look at the moon. don't you see that the shod are in there? yes, i look. yeah, i see a shadow. what the shadow is each say doesn't look like amber. i said you had to look, let him on. so yes, then there to is a german named collie peters because he used to help people hear that much. god punished him and hank him up there. and he was never come down here
5:45 pm
to do people what he did it before and is this suit to which i started with add the steel. i will fight for it till it is going to be a name. believe me i oh my grandmother ah. the word pandemic is currently being associated with the global spread and impact of coven 19. but it was preceded by another pandemic that of h i v and aids which is still going on after many decades. the still no h i v vaccine, but more recently they've been significant scientific breakthroughs in the fight to prevent infection. our correspondent address crecia reports from cape town once a month since lim of will been gone. i comes to this health center to get a package of prep, a daily pill of the pre exposure prophylaxis,
5:46 pm
protects people from getting h i v. when having sex, taking a need for my family to listen to generation. it's, they do have their age of repository. so i came here to take breath, because i wanna, i don't want to be that part of that action that is hugely positive. the health center of the desmond to, to health foundation doubled up as the research sites for many years. residents in the massey palmilla township have been participating in clinical trials 18 year old mobile big juana is also considering taking part in a clinical trial for prevention options and injection. instead of a daily paper. recently we had the breakthrough of a day per injectable. that only had to be given every 2 months, that cavity grava long acting injectable. and at the moment in this very vicinity, we are testing a 6 monthly prophylactic injectable, known as lemme capital. so if we can get to a point where young people ran the world, only have to take an injection every 6 months, twice
5:47 pm
a year. that would be an extraordinary breakthrough. linda again, becca is a leading infectious disease specialist overseeing protocols for several prep and h i v vaccine trials. she praises the achievements in the past, and the ninety's. hundreds of thousands died of age ivy. now, anti retroviral drugs allow patients to live a normal life with a normal lifespan, but the crisis is not soft, particularly in the global north. there has been a, you know, turning away from a chevy. i think many people think the pandemic is over far from it. we had 4000 young woman, became infected with h. i v in the last week alone. and we still have a $150000.00 children, newly infected with a chevy every year. at there is still a pandemic raging in many parts of the world. it's almost like we've written a half the book and you know, we walking away before the rest of that the book is,
5:48 pm
is finished. an. and that to my mind is a, you know, is, is, is a catastrophe because of all the investment we've had in the last 30 years could be lost if we don't actually finish the story. zimmer, clim, i've been guar now, wants to play her part in finishing the story back at home. the 18 year old is busy . convincing friends to take prep don't want to go, because they say literally eaten t repeal because they're not sick. i think it's to get people more and catered about it. my home being one are says her generation is the 1st one to openly talk about h i v. an important step to end the pandemic. and laura casey has been talking about h i v and trying to end the pandemic for many years. she leaves h i v. prevention advocacy at frontline aides and johannesburg. south africa.
5:49 pm
welcome to the w. news africa. we saw from our report that prep in its pill form is already protecting people. how wide spread is its use and creeping the pill form is fairly and well used and particularly across and global fund and pitfall, program funded programs across africa. and depending on the country in which and in which the people are in some people are able to access, prick oral crypt, which is the one pill a day in government facilities. and for example, in south africa and part of the elements around oral prep is that not all countries provide or open to every single person within the population . they are the need to be considered a key or vulnerable population. so the context really does differ depending on the country involved, but it is fairly well used across africa. and now there's this new injectable
5:50 pm
version of prep that last for 2 months. is that one a readily available to everyone? unfortunately, not an rules. the injectable crit, ah, there's, there's multiple challenges that some people faced in terms of prep such as stigma . and should they be caught when using print by a partner or a family member. and they're either later this phyllis through us, or as a, you know, possibly a 6 worker or actually as a chevy. positive. so the, the injectable prep would definitely be a game changer in terms of increasing the number of people who would go on pre. but it is not yet available and it is not yet registered in a lot of countries across africa, despite it being w h r. and we've also heard about the trials of a 6 month injectable prep on what you know about that and assuming it will work on
5:51 pm
if they're running trowels. yeah, i think we still got quite a long road to go until we get to the point of a 6 monthly print, i think again, and that would also be a huge game changer in the space of a chevy prevention, just because it would really help people be retained on the medication likely as we have experienced across countries, a number of people not wanting to take a po every day. and you would most likely find groups who would find it easier, obviously to have a 6 monthly injection instead of a 2 monthly and, but i do think we're still a long way away, a good, good many years away. and so that is, and that is, you know, available i think for now a lot of our attention and energy is directed to making sure that we get the 2 monthly pre available. are in as many countries as possible funded and out there. and which people stand to profit from these new proper prevention methods. the
5:52 pm
people that would gain from these prevention methods would be your most vulnerable or for h, i v for h i v. so that would include your key population groups, such as 6 workers, men, you have 6 with men transgender people. am in a lot of african countries, we find concentrated it been a mix of h, i be in the population. so they would definitely stand to add to benefits and then equally in sub saharan africa is a huge h i v epidemic amongst adolescent goals and young woman. and that would be a really important group that we would need to reach with these prevention technologies to protect them or from a chevy and equally provide them with the choice and for oral prep, all cabella or all the injectable am and allowed him to choose based on their circumstances, and then, you know, in an ideal world, you would also once the general population to have access to,
5:53 pm
to something like injectable crypt. although i do think that we obviously need to start with the most vulnerable populations to a chevy in the countries. and one of those groups are mentioned as women are there is a product on the market specifically aimed at them this the proven ring. can you tell us more by that? so that the pattern ring, i think, will also be a game changer in terms of h i v prevention. and so it's, it's a little ring that are, you know, has a of ease and basically is inserted into the vagina and, and protects the woman from h i v, infection and through virginal 6. it's woman controlled as so she can choose to use it when she wants to, she can self inserted and it's discrete and men would know about it when having sex . and so it really gives a woman a choice to protect herself. should she feel unsafe in her intimate relationship or
5:54 pm
in any other circumstance? and without anyone knowing that she's actually on prep, and it protects r 428 days and is then replaced if she wants to continue with prepped in the next month. so it's definitely an i think, a really good tool for young women and goals to use and protect themselves without anyone knowing you talk about discretion. i and, and stigma around the topic. what would you advise be to someone who wants to protect themselves, but feels uncomfortable about asking. i think i would really try in and encourage them to suit themselves as best as possible or to gain access to, to, you know, life saving prep essentially, and demand the human rights. it comes down to the fact that it's a human rights and, and it's something that they should be given regardless. although in saying that i do also recognize that they are huge structural challenges in
5:55 pm
a lot of countries. that stopped goals from being all women. and all 6 workers, you know, from being able to do that and to assert themselves. and i think there's a larger conversation that needs to be had around. i'm really trying to address digman discrimination with in the health care setting and within general communities around a chevy mirror, casey from frontline aids in johannesburg. south africa. thank you for speaking to us. thank you so much. oh that's it for now, but be sure to check out our other stories on d. w dot com, ford slash africa on facebook and twitter. before we go though, let me take you to the pristine coastline of northern tenure and some images from the annual dow race in lab will. we'll see you next time. bye for now. i use
