w c is a reminder of our top story. just president biden has made a series of gas at the nato summit in washington. he introduced 2 trains for the lensky as president to, to find this facing growing pressure to abandon his re election campaign. and that's it. from me, god else's name is the whole bag said thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it's loud . mass would have being nosy, bay, like good, everyone to king. you're healthy award winning called called the called back the a the

basic building of fish, the fishing industry, has not seen stand by globalization or industrialization. this shows the fishing has become difficult for these traditional fishermen hold on one of them. what are we? we're into a station. competition is fierce the sale side by side with industrial colors, the peons and asians are impoverishing africa. they are stealing our african fish. we can have access to expert west africa ridge facing a catastrophe, which is a fishing related social problems. and the climate change due to is the, the fishing industry is facing

a historic crisis. it's kind of not only fish, docs are effective, but also in nutrition. and that has the consequences for africa. the lovely deal that up 2 thirds of the syndicate least population live below the poverty line, where people need jobs to stay as well over at least the hope of shaping their own destiny. more than 32000 africans reach the community, i was by the boat to the about the lake called the dog. more and more people are setting sail to seek their fortunes on the other side at the atlanta international . the, on the beach and

have long been considered an independent resource in senegal, favorable ocean currents have created bountiful waters for residents. for centuries . i mean the sailors. net makers, mussel opener's, bish processors, bish smokers, mechanics carpenters boat repairmen as a nation of fishermen. millions of seneca leaves have traditionally lived from

fishing, the the countries expanding deserts or driving many people to the coast where they hoped to work and fishing the cash supplies the entire country with proteins on which one spot to be an infinite resource has become increasingly scarce. i live up if we can do for you, ma'am, let me know, but you didn't even used to be able to estimate the number of fish. the fishermen never came home with an empty natural confidence. for a long time, fishermen could even choose which species they wanted to catch. is that,

but that has changed completely. the stocks are collapsing like that species are dying out. should i put them? this is the 1st time i've seen it per rogues on sale. it's gonna go negative for sale and of on the left hand, mind excel just sufficient. my name is monique sans, you know, the fisherman, who is you have 2 boats that we take out to sea every day and then send, i'll send it on. i'm for, i used to make a good living, but that's over now. villas us. we have to go to the mans fuel and money to make ends. we did all the different things did the that's what i'm gonna say. sometimes you come back and have trouble paying it back. sometimes we're see for up to 20 days or a month in cash and nothing that we just end up in data. that's what the consequences

of this crisis can be. felt up and down the senegalese coast, the new and then you'll have new william definitely may we believe the fisher supplied by god and will never run out in front of us again. i mean, you come in, but over the last 30 years we have noticed fewer and fewer fish every year is community. always to blame him, the deputy and so at the end. but the foreign ships are to blame, but the union grunted. new in that position. our coast and our territory, or about the broken into the house and you know you have to do. you live in cash, small fissions, but like sardines is it your no, no. but if you don't have my guiding that you find the next, then you go up into a new model or not even enough resources for our own. perhaps some little good

sense of what happened with that. it was a problem for and fishing fleets or shamelessly plundering the waters of the atlantic. how has sent a go once the country with a seemingly endless supply of fish been robbed of its greatest resource? the this fatal development began at the end of the 1970s, the, under the pretext of securing supplies for its own population. europe began fishing, bountiful african waters, the

only feet. look in your 1st fisheries agreement, same between the european community and center. go under the little may convention, got a mom older. that goal shown to look. the plundering of senegalese waters began with a handshake. the the fishing agreements allowed european vessels to fish in senegalese waters and the financial compensation unclear. despite repeated requests from local fishermen, the contents of the agreements has never been made public or the catches were spectacular. in the 1980s. european trousers covered by the treaties were soon joined by other ships wanting a piece of the bounty. within just a few years,

ships from all over were soon trawling west african waters. the rate on the atlantic had begun the trawlers dragged heavy nets across the sea, but in the process they destroyed underwater. flora and fauna. the senegalese fishermen watched helplessly as the stops were plundered, their voice could not be heard in the face of the army of industrial fishing that they destroy everything such and then pro 80 percent of their catch back into the sea and the equally pacific. they were able to fish over $6000.00 tons per day. and one week, they called as much as traditional fisheries did in one year to be the but they were factory ships, the batteries,

everything they caught was process directly on the boat. in the back of the wilderness, senegalese presidents fraternize with european leaders. the ocean continued to be plundered in the 2 thousands. the situation became increasingly critical for the fisherman. but they were still unable to make their voices heard. like, i just kinda gotten the senegalese government did not want to reverse the fishing reduce levity. we experience banking crises, us and people's livelihoods were at risk. there were serious problems. people died, but we couldn't talk to our authorities. they were only interested in the money to do while we were interested in the fish. by 2011,

they had had enough. the fisherman's anger erupt. it they decided to stand together against the government of duty, won a president in his 2nd term of office based competition from mackie salt, who promised to rid senegalese waters of foreign ships. the vale knew that there are no more big fish in this country. and at this rate, there will be no more efficient incentives all in 2 years. the when i bring in the more slogan for the 2012 presidential elections was that no fisherman in senegal would vote for the current regime, which had signed the fisheries agreements with europe. our slogan was my boat and my future. after election results rolled in on march 25th 2012 mackey solved became president of the republic of senegal. i shall come back to it. my dear cametrius

seems to me, i am the president of all synagogue least there are no differences between you. ok . a victory for the fisherman. dollars in clear the output in the all star as you there is an urgent need for action and fisheries. as you did there, i am determined to review the conditions for issuing fishing licenses and to act against a pirate ships that plunder our strong skill keeps the notice of value. mackie saw suspended the agreements with europe. european vessels were no longer allowed to fish in senegalese waters when the i'd be, we managed to abolish the agreement. we made it all the way to the european union. we fought hard fucking the fisherman we gained. c the

and 2 years later, in 2014 in senegal, signed a new fishing treaty with the european union this time with their conditions. so they pay me a call. these are the 1st agreements following our new common fishing policy. the treaties were transparent and restricted the authorization of european vessels to areas that the senegalese did not cover such as to and efficient were the problem solved the the reality behind the agreements and the political speeches was more complex. this apparent victory for the senegalese fishermen did not, and the rate on the atlantic loopholes allowed trawlers to navigate around the restrictions.

so in the years, 2000 mid 2000, there was a big campaign and they got to stop deficient agreement. so that happened, the government apparently understood that it was the problem for the fisherman and decided not to renew the agreement to agreement was stopped. so at that time the fishermen were really have to they. so that is a big victory. but we continue documenting was happening with the european investors and european suites. and what we saw is that just after the time when the agreement was stopped, cetera. and while i see several, several dozens of these addresses just couldn't find a way to access any of these waters because it wasn't more agreement. and so the re flagged to send a got so unfortunately the nice words, if you like, all of this, think of these government of those days, citing when we stop g agreement because there's too much pressure on our resources . these nice words were not followed the

practice of senegal ization stems from a legal loophole that allows for and ships to fly the senegalese flag on paper. the companies that own the ships are 51 percent senegalese but in reality they were strong man hiding owners from other countries. the fraud allows foreign ships to operate in senegalese waters as if they were at home the city. but okay, so by then ships are stationed in the car, they arrive in the car and 24 hours later, the fisher sent the china or your last you little hope followed by disillusionment. so why would you define you're familiar with senegal ization of above?

i can't talk about q one u as if it were a senegalese ship to send it the research, the owner of the shifting the but you will see that it's chinese, that i've seen that back to tell you that we continue. so ship travel this route after i left here to disappear the signal can no longer be seen from here. if it breaks off. so something is wrong. this means the ship was fishing in this area. so the ministry of fisheries must know that they remain silent for the time of the librium is what it up bishop is or not near the importance of traditional fishing cannot be overlooked. to be the point of view, if you look at the number of troops and their primary contribution to fits security as good as indigo, i think we've tried the last incident though. they play a certain way, but it's not enough. we have to admit that for a lot of gwinnett county, we will continue to work to secure our resources for them so that they of course,

noticed that our ships, this escape our control. we have keep this up another component. but we did take the most of the ships to illegally enter our national watchers that will do these 8 positions on down those. oh, it's all automated mind to take the, the while the foreign ships flying the senegalese black use legal loopholes. others have chosen to ignore the law altogether. many foreign ships never bother to obtain a permit. they shamelessly plunder the waters in senegal and elsewhere in africa against the law the

the russian ship, a leading a general is a good example of, of the illegal fishing practices uncovered by green peace activists. not only was the ship operating without any authorization, but it also attempted to conceal its name under tarps, of practice, prohibited under maritime law. after his election in 2012 mackie sole and his government began to crack down on these ocean plunderers was your 3 legs, made the noise it onto the de the leg 90. 1 of as in the hands of the senegalese government. as soon as being monitored by the national, maybe not police. it lies on that. i'm really not sure about we have said commanders who have forced them to return. it is already here. uh, they live in u. b. c. so they've got it. the story is all sending all loses 115000000000. see if a frank every year from illegal fishing, the fish domain yet elicit senegal wins some battles, but the pirates ships are so numerous that it seems impossible to win the fisheries

war. the authorities are no match for the thieves. and as has been the case for decades, senegalese fishermen feel they are being left to deal with the disaster on their own fish docs continue to collapse. the things could hardly get any worse for senegalese fishermen. but they do in recent decades, china has become the undisputed leader in global fishing the . so today, the largest share of fishing vessels off the coast of west africa is the it's the

chinese fleet. so in 2012, there was a, a famous speech by then president who's in town, and he called for building china into a maritime great power. and right after that speech and 2013, the state council elevated the chinese fishing industry to a strategic industry. chinese ships have penetrated the world's richest fishing waters, including near west africa. initial motivation really was food security at that time. you know, china was worried about having enough food to feed this population. and then as time went on, the motivation became more economic interests. there's wanting their companies to make more money. the product code they publish in all the way of the chinese people is a message of health plan which says under development to it is not an inevitable fate mileage and funded to join with a 5 that china is developing and will bring more opportunities to africa can go to africa's development will bring new life china,

us developing. it's only single 5 that the chinese fleet has been supported by a lot of subsidies from the chinese government in order to achieve these aims. and, you know, those subsidies have, have risen overtime and really indicate some of the strength of support for the fleets and how much you know, important. so the chinese place on this, the china is doing today what europe did in the past. like europe, it invokes food security when it sends its subsidized fishing boats out into the world and like europe, it uses troll nets that are particularly destructive the but i'm like europe. there is never beneficiaries agreements between senegal and china. the,

the senegalese government is struggling to ban illegal fishing and over fishing and its waters it appears helpless, but also compliant in the face of the plundering of its marine wells, which hurts its entire population. the senegalese fishermen themselves must take their fate into their own hands and fight for their rights. sometimes by drastic means the judge m e foot. i have never shied away from representing the interests of fishermen, but i've never shied away from defending the interests of the people of your wi fi to you. i never thought about what might happen to me. one day i said to the fisherman, able to listen when the state won't solve the problem with this, it's up to us to sorted out because we're the ones under attack. when we surrounded the ship, climbed onto the deck, what we can pull down the captive in this chinese man. there were 5 of them and we'd beat them up. then we took the,

kept him back to my house. so now i'm going to kidnapped him up. if someone hits you on the right to get up, so you can't turn the other one that you have to hit back. but just as hard the, the glazes, when you see this unfair competition, these huge ships, real vehement switches next to them, the small per rogue. when they see the small boat, they don't, but you're not careful the crash into your apartment. i want to see the fisherman doesn't get out of the way if he could die.

the fisherman fight with everything at their disposal. the social media is full of incriminating video footage of illegal for in trawlers filmed on the seemingly lawless ocean. their lives are regularly in danger. sometimes local c fairs work a board foreign ships and are outraged by what they see. the gun we're getting the north amazes me is that there are black people and most of the boots i'm getting hurt. so want to see the other day that the crews don't agree with what's happening. it's not their fault. even those who work on these boots don't like the way things are going. but everyone use a jump to feed their families. because of these chinese bastards were constantly posting on social media on facebook and instagram at one time. the see for yourself on their plundering are fish docs. this is plundering. this is which.

ringback you don't use to limit and we'll month and so that's why we want, i've just been going to help you follow the boat for 12 kilometers because it left with our net. a chinese captain took an iron bar. i'm going to have all the chinese armed themselves and it shows it as and threatened us. that's when i realized that they were prepared to hurt us. if we got any closer to the boat. at some point they pulled us a who was and sprays my companions with cold water. they did that for quite a while. then they sprayed us with acid, then yeah, i could dig to eventually sold a halt with acid and diesel. i set it on fire and threw sent me. i jumped into the sea food. good. you have ferns on my legs and face with you so my stomach was burnt. i had burned all over. i have scars all over

my body. you little. that's why we don't like the chinese. well, i was in front of me, you know, thing on the line my name is come them again for i've been working in the pool for 10 years. i knew nothing but this hard work. is that the for bring me the phone? i want to share the photo of apple. i applied his name is amber idea and he

is a good son. a son who loves his mother would be i to fly. somebody used to say to his friends, when will i be able to help my mother nick it for, for the one day he got up in the morning model and when he was at school, he noticed my situation a little he decided to drop out of school the young eck or call me later and just said, mom, i am in nor okay go. i said to him, please come back. i want to see the model. he replied to the deal. i no, ma'am. i won't come home empty handed. ma'am you fort for us a well, you've been tired for a long time away for i have held onto my face since the accident. i know that to go to gifts and takes offense. i put myself completely in god. yeah, let's come a long way. my way, my thing, naples he had or the

foreign fishing fleets aren't solely responsible for sending goals, fishing lows a new thread has arisen for many in the west african countries. like death blow for millions of women and men who live and rely on fish fish meal factories to these big demons of visual fishermen is really relatively new. incentive go to more t. yeah. it's in the last 15 years or so. but that's really easy. factor which i would say is not leading to the collapse of the fishery. the, it's not only in the industry for invest of the 2 debt. also some girls off fishing

for freshmen. the it's a kind of a story of enslavement to new ways. because at 1st, the 1st big company will give a good price of efficient and between even pre 5 minutes. the next fishing trip, which for, for shipment is really important. mean, you're the newman then when you own a bunch of money, someone comes and say, okay, i'll pay you tomorrow to pay for the fuel rude, but you're given your fish. and then you see that the price starts to decrease. so after 6 months, 9 months, the fisherman will be paid less than in for the beginning, but you still applies to give you switch to deficiency and factory. the number of factories along the west african coast has multiplied in recent years. the process

huge quantities of fish into fish, male which is then exported to europe and asia the 1st victims, milton wants the officials for the women of these processes because they are the one that's all deprived of room material due process. the other one you have to watch wise, the fishes are going and selling the fish to the fish manufactory rather than coming and selling it to the women based drawing tables are normally covered with fish in the high season. but today they are almost empty to thousands of women were employed here to smoke or dry fish. now they have no jobs. the unions are militantly organizing to draw the attention of authorities to the tragic situation of the women processing fish salvas outside. let's hope it goes well.

well, the ministries be represented. will the government be there to pick demonstration. okay. and the care fishing authorities will be there, the media that's, i mean we'll send it out to me unless i'm seeing the be it that i'm hoping that you're sending us a piece of going to women, not the main stay of the family and cynical the main pen, there was the population that we give everything we in this to the household to our children, husbands. and then also, if we didn't raise our voices,

if we did the mom, the authorities not the establishment of fish, male factories, specialties, women's job in fish processing will eventually disappear for it's already happening . it's the full name of the mind. don't sit there long as you want me to stay on. the inspector is my, i know you are the representative of the minister for fisheries and the marine economy please, and tell them in the stuff that the files have been sitting in draughts with too long from that they are taking too long to process. and then it isn't time rare in bolton to be recognized. if you look closely there is not a single woman helping making decisions. so they, we find the fish on the beaches and process it. and then they took the monk in the, the, the families with fits,

what after the male fisherman, women or the next victims of the collapse of the fishing industry. the family and social balance of an entire nation has been shaken to places into put into a possible form disappears condition meal factories are destructive because they take away women's jobs and they deprived the population in the interior of the country, a part of their food base was smoked fish or not give them all the fish that used to be processed, smoked and dried to be sold in, senegal and west africa. so my guys and i sent the factories to produce fish meal off of an exposure to europe or asia or next. but also another one of the, the fish exported from senegal and other countries does not feed people in europe and asia. it feeds their farm animals. the annual diet of around 30000000 people in west africa disappears into the

stomachs of cattle, pigs, chickens, and salmon. if the true is being threatened by the fact that the fish these factories pumping on the fish coming out of the sea, full precision into fish means for coming to china for coming to no way to feed some of this. we eat on a sunday lunchtime, then it is really something that is going to literally kill the sector, but really a very bad impact on the populations. i big about finding the possible. yeah, there's no such thing as sustainable fish and having to be in pasadena ability does not go hand in hand with the issue of factories or, or contradictory. my god created another point that office center go subsidizes fishing. what are the example that i'll put the price if you introduce sherman can continue to sell fish if it pops up and this fishermen put on the politics is typically spatial by sales. that to officially all factory people explore to, to europe. if you'd be repeating some and that feeds europeans,

you bought movies senegalese subsidies are helping feed european responsible for this. despite the fact the cynical as a country that depends on your opinion, development a ramp would be the in some coastal villages. the age pyramid is losing its base, are similar to countries at war, men between the ages of 15 and 35 are rare. even though peace reigns in senegal,

the missing have left in search of a better life. the, the, the annual i'm, you know, they shipped the news from me until i got to my mother's house, several of the, another glad to do that. i received a phone call and they told me that my son had died in need of that. so i was told on the 9th storage on social media, the manual, it's very painful to find out about your son's death like that to me. it's very painful for me to breaking it for me in the past the just but it's not only deficient, it's disappearing. but also some of the senegalese people, this has consequences for africa, which would be let me just say that initially to achieve chest,

the mediterranean is now a graveyard met. that should be this se, which was a sea of civilization, unfortunately, become a graveyard for all our young people do believe that the future lies and elsewhere need the migration a don't cause that. so you have the paradox of the african unit or the confidence most important asset to present, to disappointing them yet they do not believe in themselves and in their future here. also problem choose is they want to products and there are no many microphones crossing the sea to us. these people are young, desperate, and take great risk for the uncertain chance with a better life. the hey

the rate on the atlantic is a catastrophe for the fishermen and other senegalese. and yet there are many men and women who refuse to give up who continue to fight to regain control of their future. to hope that the fish this gift from god will once again thrive in the waters of senegal. the
