to these places in europe smashing the wrinkled step into a bold adventure. the treasure map for modern flow discovers some of us wrinkled, bragging sites on youtube and also the hello and welcome to another edition of the 77 percent of the show. that gives voice to app because you with your hose to live, so i can't imagine what it must be like to be forced out of your hometown or a country because there's a war going on or because prolonged droughts have made it impossible for people to grow crops or feed the animals. so that means that is the harsh reality of millions of people in sub saharan africa. so in this show, we'll dive deep into the causes and effects of forest migration.

coming up on the show, our straight to base takes us to the complement refugee camps in kenya to discuss the new ways of managing wreckage in homecoming, we need to identify hamilton, the woman who wants to re tell the story of sierra leone and, and cyprus, we get on the card with a refugee team trying to link the energies to best to africa is a continent on the move. now, some people may be moving voluntarily to do trade or to get an education or for job opportunities. it's many of the don't have a choice, they leave the place they go home because it is no longer livable. over 31000000 africans live outside the country of birth. the majority stay within the african continent. so what are the reasons for leaving home and what is the current situation? let's get a quick overview from okay,

210000000 people. that's the number of people who have been forcibly displeased worldwide by mid 2023. now, just to put it into context, that's a lot more than the population of germany. the leading causes for persecution, conflict, violence and human rights violations. the figure includes 36400000 refugees, 62500000, internally displaced people. 6.1000000 asylum seekers and 5300000 people in need of international protection. there is a lot of confusion about the exec meeting and definition of these terms. so let's get to the bottom of that. internally displaced persons, a person of groups of persons who has been forced old lives to see the homes as a result of the effects of conflict, violence, violations of human rights, or natural human meat to sauces,

and who are not cross ending to nationally recognize state border refugees, refugees, are people who reflect the countries to escape conflict, violence, or persecution. and that's sort safety in another country. an asylum seeker is someone who's requests for century has yet to be processed. people in need of protection. the need for international protection arises when a person is outside of their own country and unable to return home because they would be at risk that the country is unable or unwilling to protect them. what's the situation in africa is around 30000000 internally displaced persons refugees and asylum seekers live in africa. this makes up more than one 3rd of the world's total refugee population. millions of new displacements were recorded in the democratic republic of the congo. if

u. p. a central african republic substitute on and nigeria treated by increasing insecurity and human rights violations, yukon to host, with the largest number of refugees in africa as of 2022. so don followed and if you appeal off to that, the eastern africa and creek lakes region host, most of the refugees on the continents, nearly $5000000.00 at the end of 2022 conflict. and so don, beginning in april 2023 displays of 2600000 people with incidents and 738000 others who fled to 2 neighboring countries by july, 2023. the number of effort comes for us to migrate has been rising over the last years. millions have found refuge in camps such as the couple of my refugee camp, which is located in the north western region of kenya for more than 3 decades. it has been home to people, mostly from south sedan,

if your pm and somalia. and this week 3 debate we ask, should society rethink how it deals with refugee is likely it'd be monday. it was granted re access to the couple of my camp and had a lively discussion. the hello and welcome back to the 77 percent streak debate this week. we are in the comma refugee come. this is one of the biggest and also oldest refugee comes in africa created in 1992 when a group of young boys lean warranty done arrived here. and you would not believe me if i told you that some of those boys, no man us do this, come. and the question we have today is should society rethink how it handles refugees? as i mentioned earlier, the lost boys from so done. one of them is here, jacob, it's been a long journey since you arrived that's uh so many years ago in 1992. if you can

reflect back to that time, can you take me back and tell me how you must have felt when you arrived here for the 1st time. when i came here, i found it very hot to live here because i didn't know anybody here. even the long way to say it was not familiar to me, even english. i was no, no english by that time. since we went on living here to come we, we went to school and we thought we were going to be for now i kinda speak, looks like you're feeling well if you had any of the other people around these area, we will, if you had any. but as we went on, yeah, you know, we begun to leave because it's the kids you would put that on the scene for these around and we were living we were living like the whole. so you grew up in discount basically, but the leading you through is slightly different because you weren't able to leave the comp and then come back again to come from. what can you take us through the journey a spent the last 15 years in compromise. if you do come in those 15 years, i've been able to go outside and, and study um for my secondary education and then come back in to come. how did you

get used to hearing this? what associated with you? refugee at 1st, i didn't know about that. that those are things you but as a, grew up, i started to know that you're, if you can't have the same services given to you like the nationals. and then again there's this, there was a stereotype that's refugees, are poor refugees and not well educated. so growing up, i knew i could become better then you know what people are saying about refugees. so let me hear from diana briefly because you started interacting with people with not coming from a very early age in primary school, right. so what was that like? i'm so i said it's best when we why. yeah, we couldn't come to that if we did come because our parents, they were very skeptical of asking direct and we did we fiji. so you would just stay at the village unless you go to school and meet them there. but we knew that that if it is would boy less because we were young children. we used to be so scared to go to the account. but after growing up after play by the school in high

school, i came to know that and if it is just not possible like me and we, i know that the friend. so then let me come to alfred refuse one of the locally does here in this community and do a very instrumental in helping can you transition from an complement kind of hosting to what we had no aspiring to something more trans uh, integrated tell us a little bit about that when the war broke out didn't sound so then that was a lot of influx of revenues for themselves then. and then we waited, come them. and the land was given. i mean, you know, it sad for to communities who's the positives are really fine. i've said that to begin staying together without their conflicts. so we took them to say and see if the positions and their zones and how to stay together out to share. what did they have?

like what like food, like lives, a social amenities whose benefit is it? when you know the refugees, i just sort of held in one area. you've told me that you're seeing no integration of communities exchange of culture. what are we missing by not integrating fasta essentially, that if you just feel like that note from an into, yeah. so most of them build houses of i own sheet. you can never find them building with blocks. so like, i think we have dragging backwards because of the fact that they think that's the no t a for loan yet. and yet that some of live deal for even more than 20 as diana. that took you late to what's the community could benefit from, from a more inclusive policy and approach. let's talk about documentation for a 2nd. jacob, you've been here the longest. tell me about that process when you arrive, you obviously don't have any people up to see where you are and where you're from. where do you begin this documentary, john? he just started in the folder. that was wonder if you want to just say, i want to show it again and then i do have produced, you know, actually when we leave internet,

we thought that there anything that is given to know, you know, what do you suppose we could get into this but the idea that we are having now, we cannot accept some of the services with it. we cannot move, was it unless we seek for trouble going to go out on to come? so i want to introduce you briefly. what are the challenges in not securing your documentation because i'm sure that's sort of suffocates you from getting other things done. the refugee card is essential in self reliance. you cannot make inclusion. so refugee cods and i are essentially very integral, i think, to the refugee community is because at the same time, i mean as much as, um, uh, we've had um, some sentiments from the host of community that that's so freelance is very important also to the host community also to the government of can you in the able to, can you contribute to the corner me. so i'll, so do you have something to say to me? i mean, yeah, you know, integration also has to aspect these that the giving them uh these,

the mention of ladies know the areas with this. we bought it from different international things and. busy those by the menu, what some people like about to say about me being these. com using these i to get to know is government installations. i need to, to actually then get us in even for the government. okay. so a believe the people will accommodate and take visual their, their social economic integration because that's why i'm actually promotes that thread between these 2 communities. so they will go on with that to one, give me a chance to speak to the live here a little bit because it must be difficult for you to hear. some of the sent to me is the text best buy people from the hosts, community festival that have to say the whole community are very privileged because they can tell them freely in this country without a lot of constraints,

like foss refugees, they have the luxury of going to get land elsewhere, but for us, for people who have been born here lived here, we just want to have a home. yeah. and we just want to feel like we are also part of the, of the community. why not just go back home, you know, looking at a country like choose one day. it's easy to imagine, but it's as easy as picking up your bags and just taking a bus home. is it? it's not so going back home means a lot, especially for families where they're still being of going back home. they don't know where to start from all the land, the wealth is gone, so they can go to start from scratch from down countries. so let's now start looking at some solutions and i've been very curious. what do you think it will take for the sentiments here to be eroded completely so that the other thing stops us of us as them. i know a lot of, um, i think and use an entities are trying to really engaging desensitization was for

the who's communities and for the refugee communities in, in relation to peace building and social cohesion. not only that understanding that you know, the benefits of votes, plastic parties, and i've been granted you cool of what you need to use. and i think that would be a good step in the right direction. you know, let's talk with a lot of this. some conflicting views. yeah, yeah. at the beginning of this debate we us, a simple question may be, is it time for us to rethink how we deal with inclusive matos? regarding refugees? the answer is a result. and yes, in fact, what i'm hearing here is that it should have been done a long time ago, but thank goodness that, that's already in motion. thank you for watching. the thank you for that wonderful debate from kenya and well, can you, as discussing ways to include refugee is more economically the how and when is feel very unclear. but discussion actually went on for half an hour. so if you want to

see the entire debate, go check it out on our youtube channel. well, the people that spoke to never went back to their home countries. other refugees do . just like i didn't care hamilton, she is a filmmaker who decided to move from the united states to sierra leone. her country of birth, identico and her family had to flee sarah leo. and when she was a child, what brought her back? let's hear from her. the piece that's holding africa back is the diaspora. and we that were born in africa and that's left the missing part of what's wrong with your countries you, it's basically a gaping hole. my name is identical hamilton. most people call me in the care. i'm a sarah leo, you an american and i'm the recent returning back to sierra leone. i am a story teller. i'm a filmmaker. i'm the founder of 3rd culture kids production. i'm left several young

when i was 5, as a refugee i moved to the gambia, where i lived for 2 years before was settling at the age of 7 in the united states . i remember of moments i remember when the war happened. i remember like getting ready to leave and we actually left my boat in sierra leone and it was actually a interesting story because what was supposed to be a 30 our boat right us, leaving from fairly own to the gambia became a 6 day ordeal at sea because we were lost at sea for 6 days. i never thought the boat ride would. and when we finally landed in gambia, it was like the 1st time i knew that everything in my life was gonna change. so when i 1st moved to the states, it was tough because whenever they heard that you were there in the union, this was during the time of the civil war and civil union. so everything was blood diamond. oh, child soldiers, yours or you

a child soldier. and he said so candidly and it almost becomes a moniker that you wear on your neck. and so that was the 1st kind of time i had to grapple with my identity. i think my story of home coming started when i was 21 years old, almost 22 and it was the 1st time i returned back to 0. you then i just wanted to come back a lot more. i would come every other year or so. and it wasn't until the 2020 that i made a conscious decision to come back to several there were a number of things that inspired me to come back. i went through this event called um for could shop house. the american investor for the a u. r. a connor ship um quite she gave a talk on words. why the missing piece of africa? a piece that's holding africa. math is the diaspora. and we that were born in

africa and then left. and she just gave a very moving speech. she said, you are for kids that are always saying, this is wrong with africa. you not know that the missing part of what's wrong with your countries. you. it's basically a gaping hole where you're from and you. it's never going to be healed unless you make an effort to unite with your countries. at that point, i had already started my production company in new york, i registered it and i've been doing little things. and then i said, you know what? i'm going to, i'm going to figure out how to just move back. i don't know what's going to happen . i don't know if it's gonna work out, but i'm just going to try i didn't want say we're leaving to only be her be be known as the bullet place the blood diamond place, the war place, the child soldier place. i just, i wanted to just tell a different kind of story about 0. yes,

we are with you and changing the narrative. that is why we've had a number of uplifting stories from center alone, like one on the countries on the surf club. go check it out. back to our main focus of the day, refugees. when they leave home, they tend to take many belongings, but what they always have with them is their culture. and traditions. at the like a refugee camp in malawi, refugees and the local community get together once a year for a one of a kind culture event. the 2 mainly festival salt lake or refugee camp is home 250000 inhabitants. since 2014, the camp has hosted an annual odds event to showcase the talent and rich heritage of the people living there. the festival is known as to my unit, which is swahili for hope. it goes with people to give out because every one would be invited and that

we were and i said, oh, once you got to get the the 2nd issue. uh, the uh, the the uh, the, the, so somebody, uh yes, the one the the to my you, the festival was established in 2014 by 10. so i would also known as many lab tube . excellent poet was supposed to leave the democratic republic of congo due to his work and political activism. as the festival approaches it's 10. yeah, there is a bonus. best celebrations for many. it's a welcome distraction from the daily struggles. and for some young people, the music delivers a pause to unlock meaningful opportunities. maybe he's one of the as

i said is this was the say the but really this year isn't healthy or not. last year we also had to my, i of course, met a lot of new people. i found many friends. what helped me more was said i received a small amount of money, which helped me pays for my school fees. my school, that's alec. our camp was established in 1994 in response to the thousands of being genocide for wanda and was in burgundy and the d. r. c, to my email is found to believes that the festival has done more than just keep residence at the lack of tactful for music. it's given those in exile a way to connect to they help which they bring

to mind show eviction deductible. but we at least make sure that to the so hailey word delaney hope is carrying us all the way to the mediterranean island of cyprus. the situation for many african refugees is dire. there is little political will to integrate them into society even after they have been granted asylum. joshua come, bella and his friends are channeling their frustration in a positive way. on the basketball court.

joshua come by law is a true fight to the captain of the hook, or if it's the basketball team has been fights in all his life. he fled the democratic republic of clinical due to conflict, arriving in cyprus in may 2020. why is this, even if i explained my situation to have a friend who advised that i come to cyprus just as a refuge. first i went to turkey, then entered northern cyprus, and then i crossed over into the south. what was supposed to be a new lease on life soon turned into a nightmare. the 17 year old was arrested by separate police and thrown into an adult's prison for 4 months. despite being am i not a ship? i see a new window click with me. saw yeah, a little on the 1st. i was kept in the police station and in the morning i was taken to the court. i explained to them that i was a refugee,

but i was told i had violated the lock down and could you regulations? i'll see the progress good traffic today. try to on come and see if we're finally got. it was not easy for me because i had never been in prison before all the thousands of asylum seekers. full combine. let's root each year, the arrive and solve in cyprus from touchy once here, they must spend months at a point, not our reception center, located about 10 kilometers outside of capital and equal see, the come is overcrowded. sanitation is pool and access to social services, limited. many of the residents here rely on donations from groups like 10 ration for change a to knows assess. he started a group after witnessing the opponent, conditions faced by refugees. so we usually get people to, uh, donates uh,

close uh, food and any other things, the blankets, especially in the winter period. and then we direct and distribute these items. so uh, the individual ask them to come to find something that can uh, do you have to month period before you are able to really receive your benefits? and because there might be different delays when it comes to the benefits and the vision might not have access to food or hygiene, essentials or close. is there any of those where i live in the camp that come in contact with us and tell us about their needs? and then we try to attend to their needs and those needs menu, after repeated criticism of living conditions asked for not to come. the president of cyprus for them is a more humane treatment of mike once asked the plan, the next move. several young africans are truck on this beautiful mediterranean island. unable to leave buckland, to quote, basketball helps combine his teammates to forget all the past trauma. here the
