the cooling step into a bold adventure the treasure map for martin globetrotters. describe it as some of us wriggled, begging sites on youtube and also into the . this is dw news for the coming up on the program. could that be yet more trouble brewing in the horn? of africa, somalia responds with theory after it's c o. p is deal with the break away region of somali land will discuss the implications of this dispute. also coming up in the aftermath of the devastating war. and if you, if he has to drive region, many residents don't know where the next meal will come from. dw takes a look at the situation on the ground. plus the gun remembers the bills, warriors who fought to resist enslavement in the late 18 hundreds.

and the football in bottles began, advocates top tournament kicks off in the ivory coast. we discuss what and who you should look out for the handle. i'm totally alrighty. well welcome to the program. there's a parole in somalia because the break away states of somebody lined recently signed a deal granting if you will get access to the c in the memorandum of understanding some of the land would lease a 20 to allow me to stretch of its coastline to neighboring if you help you, which is landlocked, you opens in return would be the 1st nation to recognize the molly land as an independent country. somalia, meanwhile, has lashed out calling the deal. a violation of its sovereignty. its pledging to defend its territory by any legal means. but that's what i'll kill somebody. why

will you be a step? is an offensive. it's got a bit endangers. the stability and peace of the region is what i, which has already wellborn with probable runs. uh, it is a violation of an open invasion of somalia sovereignty about what you kind of why not have freedom and the unity of the federal republic of somalia, but by the name of the mother to the ordinary. some of these were also up in arms with many taking part in protests after the agreement was announced, the angle was directed, not just if you help you, but also at somali land, which they say is still part of somalia. despite its claims of being an independent state, tens of thousands joined, protest this amount of capital mortgage issue that came to support that government and its claim that simone alons deal with if your p s. is both an act of aggression

and a violation of somalis sovereignty. most of the you have to sell the house, you live in our territorial waters and land and not for sale of the protest to say some of the land has no right to conclude such an agreement as it is not an independent state on the coastline in the gulf of aiden to which it has granted it's your ip access belongs to somalia. the issue of smoking on status has been fruit for decades. the territory broke away from somalia unilaterally 1991. after that country was plunged into chaos following a civil war. the ousting of the president but the international community has never recognized it as an independent nation. despite this small island has all the trappings of a sovereign state. it has its own currency, its own government and police schools. its enjoys greatest abilities in somalia,

but to observe as say it is held back by the lack of recognition as this limits access to foreign loans and investment. making like hard for people in a region, but he's already impoverished. in the current dispute, many nations, a calling for somalia, suffering t to be respected. let's bring in obama moods senior analyst for eastern africa at the international crisis group. welcome to dw me, is advocate amar. now, just to be clear, if you will be a, has not yet to officially recognized somebody that does an independent state, but just by engaging with them and signing this deal, they've infuriated somebody is government. so should the region be worried as well? i think it is a concern. i mean, certainly somali is, is very angry at this point. we've seen a lot of statements from the, some of the governments. we've seen them marshalling some international supports of

and favor their position. and, and, you know, there's some of the, as never recognize some of the lands, self declared independence and, and so they view this as part of their territory. they view this as a sovereignty issue. so, so they're definitely quite upset and i think that has reverberating consequences for the horn of africa that you feel some of the relationship, especially from a security standpoint, is quite important in terms of calm body. now. sure, bob and security long there border. and so if, if this dispute is not resolved, if you know tensions continue to flare, you know, i think we should be worried about repercussions around those lines. uh, does that mean that is the opiate could withdrawal with, with that it's presence in some of the other troops fighting all should bible or is it not going to go that far as well? i think that's far, you know, somebody is and then you will be both have been a little careful around this, you know,

they haven't resorted to very quick sort of, um, you know, emotional measures like abruptly pulling out forces and whatnot. but if this deal continues to go ahead, i mean the, the nature of the, if you will be a smaller, your relationship would not continue as, as it has been to date. i mean, in, so you might see some pressure down the road. i think that's more of a down the road concern still but but definitely a concern. uh if you had that sort of southern um withdraw all the forces. whether that was that was if you will be instigating or some of the are pushing for it. then there would be a vacuum in, in those areas and that would very much for your concern. but again, i think, you know, both sides have been very careful to keep this in the diplomatic realm thus far. try to pursue, um, you know, uh some sort of resolution diplomatically and, and not not fall over into those into those other areas. but the reason that the internal conflict where we have some island, which is relatively stable while the rest of somalia is and so what leverage does

the somebody government in mogadishu have in this dispute as well. the somali government is still the internationally recognized government for the territory of somalia, which given that some of the lands continues to be an unrecognized entity, internationally in terms of international regulations and and whatnot, falls under it. and that's how a lot of international actors do engage some of the land operate though they still operate in deference to some of the and mobile issue. and so i think some of the, it does have that leverage in that sense. um, they're, they're, they're marshalling some of their allies around this, their presence in some international forums where, obviously some all the way and doesn't have a seat. you know, whether that's originally up a you, but even internationally at the, at the u. n. level. and in so there is some leverage and in that regard that i think some of the a can can marshal some some supports um, but if we're talking in terms of physically trying to to stop something or trying

to, to parental me. i think that's an difficult prospect to see. and one that really opens up the prospect of, of a wider concept. and no more. are there any signs now that if you will be as taking this step of any science other nations could follow? susan, recognizing somebody lined in some way, especially considering a strategic location. so haven't really seen any, you know, indications specifically from, from other nations that would follow suit. you know, there's always been this theory that uh, at least you know, the theory that, that those, and some of the land promote that. they just need one, you know, country to recognize them and others would follow suit. that remains very much to be seen. and you know, i think we're still a ways down from that to, you know, we, we should remember that this is a preliminary sort of uh, agreement that if you will be in some of the advantage they have come to there's, there's technical teams that would try to hash this out and,

and see exactly where with land. um so, so a lot of that still remains to be, to be determined. but i, i wouldn't expect a full day lose to follow with this per say. given that it's such a if you'll be a century dynamic. ok, i'm, i'm, i'm going from the terminal crisis group. thank you very much for speaking to us. in ethiopia, authorities in take why the northern states, uh wanting that the area is on the brink of famine to drive entering, president gets actual read, says at least 90 percent of the people that are at risk of dying of starvation. he adds that the crisis was the result of the aftermath of the war, which ended just over a year ago as well as an ongoing drought and the lack of aid. if you open government in addis ababa says the claims are exaggerated. the u. m. and the us temporarily suspended 8 supplies last year, following allegations of fest be entering president,

detach you is urging both of the international community and the fuel in government to intervene in t. right. to save lives, new reports the media, and haile selassie reports from the region. this, this is all that's 70 years old. get bremond seeing how goes and his family had been able to have his influence months barely enough to survive. oh, there's famine, we are starving aluminum and crisis for some days. i'm able to find something to eat. other days i go to bed with an empty stomach. what can we do? where can we go? how long could as conditions west 7th i because so many and many young people left the area. but most of the leisure being like a brit missing. most of these couple of have died on the a few months. i left. it's the result of 4 years of phase rates, including the west, jolting decades as well as the device. the thing was in the copious degree future.

hipaa. now we have farmers who worked our land where we couldn't do that and we would travel to places where we worked the money, the. where can we go? now? i'm losing home. i don't have sheep or cows, i can sell that, isn't it? so then they, you, as was for the program in the us agency for international development, suspended back your money to the end deliveries. i live at the c, a of i must have crops of scheme in which the pro panel officials to grad and as each of forces had reportedly booted foot 8 to send legally in the markets. based significantly less than a situation with more than 1400 people having to dev. since then the local administrator in the district has declared a state of emergency close on that 85 percent of presidents have barely any food to eat me. people are dying in front of

a rise. the government and non governmental organizations have to take responsibility and do what they can to alleviate the suffering. you know that you and us, it does have agreed to resume food. identity varies with improved money. teddy boy . yeah. give me shit, hopefully between to arrive too late. save the permits in your god knows what will come next. i want to see if we have his mercy, we will eat. if we don't, we will die. no, there's not much else we can do with either way to, despite the short term relief people here into great worry that there was, might not see their needs as urgent as, as a crisis unfolds elsewhere in the wide. i'm now joined by samuel g. attach you, he's a journalist based in ad is out by and he just got back from the tig why region central. welcome to the program. now what did you see on your trip that just tell

us just what the situation is like? so we went outside of what we went to a ton of village called a huge, loud which had a conflict during the tool and were facing thousands of people. i sold people that are really starving of being uptake to by this time. and that's going on across the region. i swear to many people, all the people, young people who have eaten for days, waiting for any kind of support from international organizations, including us a id in the world food program, but delivered some kind of aide a few weeks ago. and they've been waiting. maybe you can tell they have really been struggling for many, many, perhaps mongers. mentioned some age coming through now just how

much is it sufficient for the people. as with most of the villages, including the administrator of the village, told me that the last time they received any kind of aid was from us a id and they focused on the id piece of the people that came from outside of the villages that were in a bad situation in terms ofa not getting any kind of support, but the whole village it seems, are in need of some kind of support. this is perhaps a, you know, something that money or plus i reminded of the 1984 timing where 1000000 sofa ethiopians, especially in this region, were affected. and 2 people that are older is really a reminder of what the deal went through. and even the president of the 2 great region has said, this is something that's comparable to the 9th waiting for you to type time. and so the region is really, you know, software and you can tell it as soon as you arrived just outside of the company,

talk mccully. i'm just on that point the, the, the, as he's mentioned, the t right. uh for the thing the situation is approaching a famine. meanwhile, the govern, unitas is saying this is exaggerated. we think the 2 sides, even though they signed a deal to end the war, we see them giving completely conflicting information about what's going on. does that mean they are still very much at odds, even though the fighting has stopped as well they took and government has been set saying that this to 14 the region there to give the support 8 to the region. but i can only tell you from what i've seen, i'm seeing people are really struggling people. that's how really facing the fireman task. we're beginning to see, you know, just in to guy. but in the regions of this country, people are really, really suffering. and the government has acknowledged that they need support,

but they've said it's nothing like a fundamental made to me before. i think that's where the differences between the regional government and the federal government is. but for once we've seen is a more immediate arriving into great need. many people are starving, you can see it again to relieve your competence. so again, i can only tell you from what i've seen, but many, many people are suffering in time and seems to be coming back to this country once again. the anti apartheid photojournalist time i go by there has been laid to rest in johannesburg, south africa just over a week after he died at the age of 90. 1, talk about his award winning imagery, documented key events in south africa as a positive era, including the racial oppression and brutal violence, as well as the campaign to free the imprisoned, nelson mandela who would lead to appoint him his official photographer. after

becoming president. or you're watching dw news africa still to calm the african cup of nations, retents, who will be crowned the continents champions. the 1st we go to northeast and gone where the bill. so people have been mocking the annual field festival, where they celebrate the great feats of the warriors in the late 1800, a fort off invaders and avoid it and slave meant. here's a report on this. he has commemoration from dw maxwell soak in the town of son demo . both so warriors have historically been reviewed here and gotten a for yes. right? of came from the saw hill to and slaves the both but failed. legend has it that the both of traditional weapons proved superior to the integrated european guns carried

by the invaders, the boys and all those of the boys as with tabular longer. and these were a powerful arrows boys in ours. so select us touch it, you know, sometimes did both. so tactics and battle may also have being decisive and knowing that they relied on their hosses. this rate is of the large, you know, where, where haws back to the people at the top, at the top of the horses 1st. so who exactly was attacking northern got 2 names has been handed down in oral history. firstly, the notorious summary, 2 or 3 who fought europe, team colonize us, but also enslaved his fellow africans until his pseudo empire fell to the invaders

continued underly disliked by 2 and some movie to read. some researches suggest this was to concord territory and build up the numbers the to estimate about saving yourselves and trying to put the foot on people like the, you know, pianos, if you did, it says then they wouldn't have done anything this we did this issue the shame should be shared by the africans. many have feel that the popular narrative around the history of slavery focuses mainly on those and slaved whilst ignoring the uniqueness of those who resisted this element of a group of people standing. i guess it in fact, and i guess it's, it's not about being told what that within the african continent all in the western world did

a story that still those emotions as people here on the bill side. chief ment the, it's that time again, we get to witness the best on the continents footballing talent at the africa cup of nations. and this addition is being hosted by the ivory coast and teams, all gathering all set to for action this, this competition as advocates, football power houses badly at out to the whole bring joy to the people. as champions many european clubs are unhappy about losing the african players to this tournament, but it's probably a sign of the quality that will be on display. now to discuss more about this exciting tournament of what should be an exciting told him in all sports expert law id id. we joys me here in studio love at a good to see you. now reminders, festival. why we haven't asked on 2023 in 2024. well and i because i was supposed
