countries than ever before. reports is without borders who compiled index say the environment for june the some is bad and 7 out of 10 countries in africa. the situation is classified as bad in nearly 40 percent of countries on the continent. and this, the whole region in particular is said to be in the process of becoming and no news that i'll be told into an exposure for more than that in a moment. for 1st, it would tre, is ranked the worst country for peace, freedom in africa, we met a june list and poet who was imprisoned for her work. the report you're about to see begins with, you're going to say have brought you reading the words or for pub she wrote that led to her incarceration of this, the of the start of dislocation center. how that and go. but in a little good enough, is that many of us to fuss and that's and that's the old number. now you're out of the hands of the concept. helena has up to the atlanta and kind of in

a word, put them on a poem that led to prison and almost death. 14 years ago, every tree and right you had got emphasis on it, but after was arrested for her words. she wanted to publish a collection of poems, but the phone of the senses authorities interpreted the driver and the poem as president the size of working. the dictator has ruled the country for more than 3 decades, and is accused of crimes against humanity. how about as i this time tells the driver to drive casserly because he's carrying people to wear a seatbelt and that he's responsible for those in the cock on. if the driver doesn't have about the possibility, he should like all those drives because hello. so talking about montana from our hawaii hotel, she was taken into custody and interrogated divine. and um they said the problem was about the president. i said it was and then i was beaten until i lost

consciousness. i'm out of my head around. so the torch and never stopped to google it. so i, you know, she was held in a secret detention side, most of us, myra, and had to buy to me to sell other inmates for health and shipping containers. boylen called during the day freezing cold at night. she says there were subjects to regular meetings. one of the heavy to some of the had it up to my whole body was swollen from the 1st injuries from us that i didn't think i would survive. it came in, let's say it in the case, but she did. after 6 years in prison without explanation, she was freed. as soon as she could, she flipped the country. mm. but not only her poems gotten into trouble, she also worked as a rated journalist and every trias capital a smaller. um press frank, there is no freedom of the price and every trail, not private. newspapers have been shut down and there is only one state media that says propaganda hold on. that area is one of the world's biggest dangers of report

has done this stuff either fled the country on prison. gollum now lives and works in germany during the country reading the po and she wrote in prison. people a keen to learn about a country that holds the citizens captive incarcerated. it's janice, now as of right and so she helps her work can help make people understand the reality and every trip up to that i will hold them at the heart of tv. i want to go to every try a one day. this where i don't to mentioned my memories when i was young. i left the go we business last. i watched the and didn't think you could be punished for your fluids. the sun that's cause the sleep in lack of cargo. you w. me, but for now she doesn't see a future for herself in the world's most sense that country and to talk more about the conditions for press freedom in africa, we've invited angela, clint,

so onto the program. she's a form agendas to now works as africa program coordinator for the committee to protect journalists, welcome to dw and use africa. angela says this is media freedom index, ones that say content is a, at the rates of journalism. but as we just saw in our reports, in some countries in africa, journalist they were they freedom in some cases, their lives to deliver the truth from we just said, what would you say is the main threats to praise freedom in africa as well? it's, it's pretty broad, but let me say and it's, it's the criminalization of journalism. i mean, you know, janice throughout the continental world. awesome to doing their work and what are they doing? they're trying to bring the news to the public, trying to ensure that people are in the position to make informed decisions. um, you know, that the people have the right to know. and for that reason, they're seen as the switch by governments, repressive governments and even searching the governments. that one's good think

would be democratic and there is a correct on. and what you see is, generally speaking, holds before the quotes being jailed and being punished, penalized for the agent and this, and, and why is the situation particularly bad in the so how the index this is a, is that the region is, and i put a be coming and no news, the, it's, well, i think it's a multiple effect is i guess part of it, of course is what you've seen in terms of the cruise. but also because the so is being used by international pilots as a, you know, so they proxy beth, what was right. and, and i think that feeds into it's a menu of course have a problem of, of the fact that you have non state actors operating there. so often you have done this quotes between a rock and a hard place. i mean, let's take marty for example. you know, so there are no go areas in, in monte,

which in this really called going to, i mean, we can talk about the noise. that even which in this have felt relatively comfortable in terms of operating from um, you know, they face subduction, will they face the wrist? are they accused of not being patry or taken off? and then of course you've got the whole issue of this information where you have major powers. obviously, you know, i'm trying to describe it as, as smear, you know, each other and in the process generous a quote up. and so local general. so bearing the brunt of course, and then you have the international media international jen, this to so trying to get the will to understand what is going on, the finding that there are the booted out or, or you have, as we've seen, you know, the broad cost is like um, differential cost is, are not allowed to operate there anymore. yeah. yeah. and,

and staying on that point. uh, angelo, what, what can be done to help during this working in these, in these difficult conditions to get the truth out as well. i think definitely organizations like us and international community needs actually woke the tool. it's all very well, you know, saying that we are a, that we believe in free expression. but we need to ensure that we do more than just, you know, dishing public statements. it's very important for generous on the ground to feel that the are being heard, and that there is someone in their corner that was angela quintal, advocate program coordinator for the committee to protect you and destroying us from needles. let's take a look now at some of his stories making news across the continent starting in sedan way. the late to cease fire has failed to hold with us now threatening sanctions. the u. n. is wanting of a deepening humanitarian crisis in the country as fighting intensifies and the

simple. what for both, if it's a nice and the agents, and it's more than just getting on the flight, i believe one of the most important challenges the psycho social and mental health situation of the migrants one day. the 3rd, that's why we're really privatized. besides supporting some of the same material needs of these people? well sobriety, guys, they have mental health to a fun. yeah. right. if i look at the airports, the average is the best comp process. but before the out loud, the headphone yeah, gaping more systems. it is at trans expense as like these illegals. february 20 microns brooks. yeah, they get food shelter. medical like counseling services for a few days before they go back to documented things. but at least he says she has

plans to go back to school in the future. and can't wait to be the united would have friends of farming golf course. a lot of life. i'm reading the fcc on my voice, and i'm also happy to hear from them, especially my dad. this may not have been have planned when she left in 2020 but there are many like huh. who choose to remain in b, b. i unplugged the, assisting them back on the same joint issue funding with dreams of a better life elsewhere. because now the coordination of persons, king charles is getting a lot of attention this weekend and it's not all good acts of it say that some of the diamonds on the display in the lavish ceremony was stolen during the colonial era from what he is now saw the african, they say now would be an ideal moment for the british monarchy, as it begins a new era to return what they describe as luke will have more on that in the moment

. that 1st, we take a closer look at the diamond in question and how it came to be in the hands of the british royal family. this is the colon and diamond in its reform. it's the biggest jim quality diamond ever mind at over 3100, carrots discovered in 19 o 5 and trends. well, in present day, south africa. during british colonial rule, the transfer of government bought the diamond for the equivalent of 15000000 euros today. in 1907, the uncut diamond was presented as a gift to britain's king edward the 7th. the stone then went to amsterdam to be cut into gems. the biggest are now part of the british royal sceptre and imperial state . crown. others are on the crown. the queen consort camilla, where the coronation and still more are featured in other royal jewelry. for years, however, there have been calls to return the call in and diamonds to south africa,

where the story began. i am now joined by if a restore thing yet he is a professor of african politics at the university of south africa. he edited a book sizes breaking the colonial contractors about how colonialism is still being perpetuated in africa. welcome to the diabetes, africa. profess that you're one of the people calling for the colored environment to be returned to south africa. what do you think that would achieve a thank you very much and thank you for helping me. i'm very 10 of the calling on time wanted to south africa. is meant not only to symbolize breaking with the quality of a contract, but also the beginning voltage, very difficult conversations about how to retrace the call on the injustices of the past. simply wishing them away, we will not solve any problem in the integration. any of the quarter nation of the

king is a propitious moment for africa ends, therefore, my colonize as to come together and say, how do we forge if you check to get out of i was very difficult depressed into these damn one to can be used is that opportunity to break the prophy and be able to ice, correct. all right, i professing you talk there about the cost um saw that because biggest diamond company today is owned by a british company. what would really be the benefits, right to the people of south africa taking back one diamond, putting it in the museum, or ensuring that the country's vast mineral wealth improves the lives of people. what is the priority of the cost or the present? what should be the priority? what's the zip punched in the present? unfortunately, a priority to for us was there calling on time on the end of the day and was in the cold. that way looted from africa must to be accounted for. we will not leave the north to an i intend, you know, a chris to, for, for,

for i started to suggest this, we can not have a situation where we are 40. so support the lived experiences of that people feel free to continue as if it was during court on your i pod said. so what tweet, according for, is not just the very 10 of the time one only. but it is also the acknowledgment of the colonial eagles and the various repulsion make on the seems to be put in place . one of them is to do with the lead to issue one of them is to do with the ownership of what i quoted the means of production. so is africans we are calling for a comm mode. oh, what a dress make any seems we do monday and not only epistemic independence, we are also demanding their rights to be head into the right to rise like in other citizens of the world. and we must hold for those dr. phones africans for those that the wrong best to begin the processes by acknowledging why did they

acknowledge? then you can see did this a couple of them say, how do we forge ahead professor, what would you say is, is the legacy off. brisson is colonialism in south africa, is it still being felt? in the legacy of british colonialism still continues to divvy. i am sitting here in the full and pretty dirty. i took them to you in english. in fact, the issue of the cutting on dad went into how it is clean out symbolizes what we call color, nearly to, which is the continued i've seen a tree called power relations between the for my portal. nice as in the former colonized, you know, for you, we only know to wish we had the power tool to, to hold account of what those that come to us. but we also want to get so every piece before either you. so that's what the paper tray does, and therefore my big teams can forge as future head way they can be viewed as if i

was unfortunately, the other part of the colonial contract is not tweeting is if you told me i used by the british or more next continued use of these and looked at them on so for us here in africa here in south africa, please call me at ease of use with the past event. it is something that to me, to do something that i did with us today. right? profess that every stopping at the university of south africa. thank you. thank you very much. waiving me a celebration of the no magic way of life has been taking place in morocco. the know that's festival allows people to embarrass themselves in the traditions of the ancient culture that have spread over centuries across these heart visits and been passed out through the generations in a small town on the edge of this the hobbit deserts. traditions that being kept logs

like the middle of an old fashioned way of cooking. bread in the sand? the a small move, does it hockey? oh, no, no. i think ways of live spread far and wide on the backs of camels, over centuries. creatures at the hearts of this ancient culture. per month. somewhere for me, the role of the camel is and less the camel keeps the new much heritage alive. in the year 2000, it was given intangible, cultural heritage states has by you next go on to be all the states that share the camels culture. should mock this factors, there's lot of stuff and make it the federal rating fine. and then am i figured out that i know that tradition being

revived at this year's festival. is story telling me i don't know. how do i owe shipping money? because if i see so much american society in general, based the education of the families and the children on story telling, can it has a daughter to be late. at night the grandma would gather her family to tell stories she learned to self and that's from her own mother and grandmother. and so she was telling them stories sort of strong messages. yeah, he can. we usually didn't know traditional nomads experience would be complete without music with international outage, joining local talents to help bring the authentic sounds of this rich. does it culture to a modern day audience or and that's the way we leave it for the program today. be
