7:30 am
but there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our system. our series continues to d. w. the . this is dw news advocates coming up on the program. once again, china pleasures billions for africa, but or more chief loans, creating debt traps for african country. as african leaders attend the china advocate summit in beijing, changing pain promises deeper ties and billions of dollars for the continent. but some young africans have had enough of china financed prestige projects, which they say leave them and future generations in a very disappointed i feel bad to our government is lucky sending to us mainly is that most things taken care of. and so i expect to be natural to then say as it
7:31 am
goes ahead with inputs a negotiated use on behalf of the government that i don't get to see the benefits and to get to see very professional as a tech, stinking plus pharmacy in northeastern united area under siege from boca around military, the government has deployed a new security force to protect them. but will it be enough to stop the violence and prevent the food prices from escalating the unlike look who welcome more cheap loans and more jobs for africans. that's the problem is chinese liter, changing pain is making to the continent. it came at the 9th china africa summit which has brought hundreds of african political and business leaders to beijing. it's an opportunity once again for china to show it to geo political and economic
7:32 am
ambitions. for africa, the worlds fastest growing regions. several deals have been signed on trade and cooperation. however, the chinese economy has been slowing down in recent years. and that has had a knock on effect on many african economies leaving some of them in d dead and unable to repay the loans. china is the biggest investor in the african continent and the continents largest bi lateral trade partner of loans to africa increase from 2000 to 2016 only to slow down dramatically in recent years. now china is offering an increase of more than $50000000000.00 in loans, to create $1000000.00 new jobs and boost infrastructure projects threefold over the next few years. so or more cheap loans, really what africa needs. we'll have some analysis in a moment,
7:33 am
but 1st we look at one of the countries having problems with repayment to that is kenya to help pay for the many loans. the government imposed tax sykes, which sparked violent protests. many canyons are painfully aware of the downsides of seemingly attractive infrastructure projects, findings by china, like the $5000000.00 railroad that was supposed to transform pena into an industrialized middle income country, connecting and with it's made by uganda. but the track stuff showed up to go to because of unpaid that the project became insane. this as the prime example of the pitfalls of boring corruption and mismanagement right away. it's just one example of large scale infrastructure projects financed by china. that critics say, well neither financially viable nor to the benefit of most canyons. this elevated highway connecting no ruby with us international applewood has also been criticized
7:34 am
. the tax paid was that and with the costs, but only a few canyons can afford the ride. citizens would have decided to see the money invested in health care or education. china is candice biggest lender by country. it owes aging $7000000000.00, mainly for the development of roads rails and pull it into structure. experts say the continent is hoping on china's easy money africa. now, is it a comfort zone? and can, you know, of course. so we know that even if we go broke, we can get some money. so there's that the cycles, the china also. now, when you go and get money from them, then they do not really a so many questions solar. i mean, if they don't tell us, you know, just a tax people, then they don't really interfere with. they turn off as of the countries nothing to pay off its debt to the i. m. s. kenya's president william due to proposed tax increases. but there were a wide, unpopular and let to months long, and debbie cortez across the country to the schools,
7:35 am
to abandon the tax hikes and does no, again, i'm less complicated loans from china struggling under a cost of living prices and unemployment. young canyon say they've had enough of china finance prestige projects that lead them and future generations in debt. instead, they want more drops they should be able to incorporate it to the union use. they should be able to give them an opportunity so that they can also benefit from these . i'm very disappointed. i feel that to our government has nothing to sending to us means that not being taken care of. and so i expect to be a natural impedance. uh, as it goes ahead with inputs, a negotiated deals on behalf of the government that i don't get to see the benefits and to get to see the progression which i feel as a, as a tax banking in 10 years toby debt is equivalent to 2 thirds of its g d, p, interest payments alone are eating up more than a quarter of the revenue. it connects to that and the economic crisis can yes,
7:36 am
and don't leave william root too much choice in negotiations with china. other than to ask for even more loans of service a board because, but china could do more to help african countries to escape the death cycle. vic, on come and puts industries here that even if we don't have the 5 minutes to do the finished product. but it's kind of adds value so that we don't just ship out, you know, roll my to use, then we can have more jobs for africans. and so we don't have to keep begging is you know, and trying to immigrate to other countries that are more developed. china is focus for the summit, has now shifted from financing big infrastructure to green technology and energy canyon's hope. this time, it will benefit them more. i'm now joined by all the conceptual kenyon and financial advisor, n c o of rich management. welcome ali. thank you. as we just
7:37 am
saw in the report they're from canyon, some african countries are struggling to repay their loans. will the pledge by she ultimately help africa, or will it likely create more so called that transfer countries like kenya? so you know, there's been a significant to commitment to in the latest announcement each by seeking paying, he's committed to $51000000000.00 over the next 3 years. bear in mind the total commitment of a 2006 to 2021 was about a $191000000000.00. so this is a significant chunk of change. but really, that have been issues around sustainability around get loads with africa. and that's what citizens are struggling with. math african countries for the most part over borrowed, misspent, and, and the price has to be paid. and that's why we're at the moment. so to be clear,
7:38 am
what side of this do you come out on a or you hopeful or might you be skeptical? so overall i, you know, i do believe the chinese african relationship as consequential relationship of the african continent and bates less than the biggest trading bought that. and they've been a significant provide. they have extra capital. but i do, i do believe that after the governments have over borrowed, i think we are responsible, as african citizens are holding all i need is to account because it is a good bar if this money misspent, it isn't thought because of a, the responsibility of it as a chinese store. so i think on, on the most part i'm optimistic and particularly the optimist. it because the citizenry for the 1st time that's out in the 5th. and he is understood this and as understood what leadership has done and his folding leadership to account your
7:39 am
canyon yourself. you were born there raised there, and now we're on a business side of nairobi. no doubt you've been keeping an eye on reports. are frustrated. canyons, especially young people taking to the streets to protest over tax hikes. did you hear any action from the summit that might help kenya mitigate this? so you know, at the end of the day it's not china who's going to buy another silver bullet to reduce tax is think, you know, ultimately as long as be to ship, that's got adage, the actual size of all countries best, the effectively use their own expenditure government 6 and create environments, gross, which will increase that stake. i think what we're dealing with here in 10 years, the result of a previous administrations, of which the president was the kind to send, the detached where we sold massive profit gets the mass save a creaming off the top. and that's the price we're paying for right now. and this
7:40 am
is no different to many of the assets in countries. but i think we've got a hold of 2 account. this is a very tough period that effort and come to the game for, you know, and ultimately it's not, it's not going to be solved by just raising taxes because there's any so much you can squeeze for 11. and what we're watching now is 11 is saying we've had enough. mm. but let me ask you this, it's, it's no secret. most chinese investment has been on infrastructure. roads where ways that give africans means to travel potentially to work. but then also enable the chinese to extract some of argue to plunder. and critics also say that infrastructure is usually built by chinese contractors, not locals, paid for with african dad or africans, essentially getting a raw deal or some would argue. so i think get into spin and challenge for the
7:41 am
after you've gone more than a century, which will about the extraction of performance here without any value addition exported into pebble ma africans talk received do people site. and interestingly, in particularly a lot of the critical manuals that the next century ought to be found on they asked me. so the question is, how does after could go about getting a better deal for itself? the 1st thing is gab, as many people sitting opposite you on at the table, and to be therefore able to negotiate the best deal for your citizen and then the next not working for us. at times we blank that on you just have not negotiated what best of what was the best interest of the citizen with the go to change and what was the best it is the best interest of themselves going forward. i think if we look at how we negotiate with all of our partners, china is one of them. and one of the most important ones. and i think once we get
7:42 am
to that point, and once we negotiate, you know, in the interest of the, of the continent, we will get better deals. i noticed that the paying and his speech made comments to that effect seeking to create to 1000000 jobs on the continent. i think that's the way forward we bought. do i think indonesia is probably the best pre cost for africa? they literally told folks what extracting menus, no, no, no, you're gonna have to put factories, processing blogs in country, and many countries, and many companies were forced to do that. that's the way for with regard to infrastructure. we need infrastructure. well, 1300000000 people need to be collected and that is also critical. and therefore, i think, you know, one can criticize china for building, you know, 800000 kilometers of roads, 10000 kilometers of railways and building as a boat. it was necessary. once you can criticize for its blood,
7:43 am
these good deals take the canyon s g. uh, i mean that is just an embarrassment when you think about which was meant to collect the entire reach. and it's just between never had been them that's, that's, it's a point that's a white elephant as it stands. so you can look at specific transactions and say, no, this did not work out. and then inspect the reasons. and those reasons are interesting when you look into them deeply, and i think that's more of your people on, on the streets of directory where essentially understanding and for the 1st time i had people who read some joined up thinking and say it's, it's about the deals that you guys did when you're giving us much to think about our deep thanks to all the con, such true kenyan financial advisor and ceo of rich management. i pleasure. suspected boca,
7:44 am
ron militants, have killed at least 80 people in north eastern nigeria. police, a roughly a 150 insurgents stormed into the village of muffle on motorcycles shooting. residents dead and setting buildings on fire. dozens of bodies have been retrieved, but authorities say many are still missing. and few, the death toll could rise. authority say it appears to be a revenge attack for the killing of 2 militants by village atlantis. from the village book, a rom, have killed more than 40000 people in the northeast. in the last 15 years, the group has also been terrorizing farmers in north eastern nigeria, the militants of steel crops, and kidnapped agricultural workers for ranch. and the government recently deployed a new security force to protect the farmers. but it hasn't been enough to stop the attacks as dw christine moons law report from warner state. the violence is
7:45 am
exacerbating food shortages in the region with catastrophic consequences. not long of the it wasn't safe to be on this farm land on the outskirts of my do as it used to be controlled by bulk of around jihad dismiss distance. well, the location we're now the jo location is best described as the more lead slice of the la area near the i know it was on wasn't know grady i just like you said because it was uh, i truly invented by the terrorist but to dental vision. on the military, and unless it give it to genesis or been able to has them to tide and then repel them falling backwards from the city. the rural communities are under such threats that the states has deployed ranges to protect them. otherwise they'll be targets for best extortion and even kidnapping for ransom. now,
7:46 am
soldiers, civilian volunteers, and even for my bulk of her, i'm fights is patrol while farm is 10 their crops. but the ranges are only on duty for certain fix day time, hours, and work within a boundary set by the ministry sub allow me and he'll look his stock early to get the most done in the time they have weekends. yeah, i don't, it's weekend to get out of school. it is inside design. i'll ask you to do so. we can do up to one and they do their duties according to the after the time with that, we are given the clause that is once that we have to live before everybody will rush and go. but for a lot you go need. the security is enough enough to of his 3 farms. i'll be on the ministry's boundary. the problem is, i gather some areas,
7:47 am
it will know if i'm able to have the funds that one village because uh okay, i'm ready. yeah. so the book, i don't like that you got it would do, would it would now says 2010. i would that some so i have never been via the 2019 i is the beauty but didn't you turn it into the of the did nobody waiting? there was a go out. i'm the one that is to take you to go there, but i'm some of them you know to me that so that's why we're a new india, but not everyone is being so cautious they are all farm is taking risks. i'm told they are returning to a band and land without ministry protection. they say it's small 1st house, and it's worth the money they have to pay to boca around, to use this. but security official say these are the form, is that all being kidnapped and killed and they're calling on people to stay within the area. they can protect this format, survived and encounter with both a nice shoot. i had been planned,
7:48 am
so i'm guessing the right i'm ready. that's wendy services came on. they took a cell phone on money. also from on naples, they are human, which are 3 people that kidnapped smoke up. they took them a week and demanded from some guy. he's so good to say i'm mazda. the insecurity performance is worsening and already bad food crisis in the region. the, you and sold food program, say 3000000 people in photo stage of food and secure at this a facility and by degree. mon nutrition cases have reached records levels every year we see a size of the place in cases, but as soon as 2022 it has been different. so it's, yeah, it's increased actually and usually like a 2 folds increase compared to the previous year. and then this, yeah, it's away and much higher than the previous year. so it last week was very difficult for
7:49 am
a team because we've got so many patients coming in and also so many very sick. also, some of them could been, has been sent across and the day unfortunately, we lost a good number for a week. i would say almost 50 something personal sites. the rain full has been faced with the season raising hopes for a good harvest. but that will make farm is even more vulnerable to vocal her on medicines who be looking to steal the crops they've worked hard to cultivate for more, i'm joined by dw, is a way too eager to see joins us from the nigerian capital buddha lacey. you know, northern nigeria very well in fact, the area in question is not far from where you were born in, grew up, give us a sense of the climate there right now. and the conditions people are currently living under the condition in which people
7:50 am
are living in prison please. is this tuition of the decision of frustration and estimation of a certainty because of the issue of is security? is there any season where from us i suppose, to be very busy at the funds? what that is, what's happening, the food that i'm mine is to go to the funds when there was a lot of. yeah. because of course we attacked by vocal. hi, rob, that had been happening or the government had what? it's called a broad range of what doors cannot protect people. they have not been protect 2 pieces, you know, given the security agents we have from the military to the police to the plan plot . the, i'm not able to provide the protection that is needed. so that is that, yeah, in people in the local government areas where the government relocated people from
7:51 am
the i. d p comes in my degree. they cut to tell me of what it listed on the us to do a visited where the and the ticket back them. but it is for me, within that little kind of government that you can have that protection. people have more trouble 1015. let me just, i'll set the local governments to do any c as a way to the file drop and in between. one will come into the ad that you need me to, to export. or you just take a risk and on your off every major highways many to s. so it's a very terrible condition. this is what i mean to ne, they've been in the north with, well, we have monday treat. when did have taken all by default. you cannot go to define if you have to do, you have to pay a 2nd. taxes allows you to plan. if you come to have this job to get taxes,
7:52 am
when you all have visited, it is period where i buy some of the proofs of it before i have this to put some money to plenty, i didn't. what did you kind of go on to what you planted back home? so that is the vision in that area. and now the way to a question, people continue to ask and will continue and persistent asking until this whole thing is resolved. why does bulk of around keep targeting civilians and in this case of the farmers there for that as so the reasons for, for her um, is there a good that sheet on you formation when the a touch severely of that is where they get large number of people there is sent a toggle by a 100 people were acute in your district. way i do see that number, if you are attacking military or police or districts or any security age and how many people i did send and how many buses i did send the maybe 10 to 2 months more
7:53 am
. thank you for that type of disability has to get done a patient to show that yes we are from they've been doing the best it did to submit to us. we can still come back. that is number one. number 2 is to prove it that yeah, we didn't to people that we have to wrong, would you don't go anywhere if you do the military or the good thing come provide security. they cannot do that. so when did i taught large mobiles, the tvs and then publish to do this, i have the kind of protect themselves, somebody with a q 4 to 7 on a piece and move. it gives the idea that for you to have gone to protect yourself, you have to rely on the government. so didn't know what that this is. so i get, i've talked civilians, i get away with it. and then that is what i mean. but nutrition does what i do home for the want to see that yes,
7:54 am
the good been displayed in depth and go and continue. because when people come not from what would be the result? they wait, that's a definitive trend. they know it's about finding, finding, finding, and when you don't allow them to go from, then the us quoting at the point in the on site to the should that does it. so just so you continue to the modem part of the country way. so most of us can only imagine the fear and frustration residents are dealing with successive governments, as you very well know, have pledged in bulk of around. here we are still talking about them. why is their defeat proved to be so difficult? there are several reasons why then i don't governmentally. so unable to disseminate or bring an end to this number one i duty i is watching a body that will we?
7:55 am
this is not one desk around and the attack on go back is there like in norman wolf? web, i, your enemy is on this site on your own data sites. you can usually talk about tool batteries, issue of for it to come. we looked up to see that the government, if they are serious, they've come bring an end to this problem for long. again, we see each was there and that's where will in did do check out our other stories on d, w dot com slash traffic a or of course on social media. we leave you with these pictures of the terrace 2024 paralympics, where several african athletes have been competing for metals. we'll see you next time. bye for now. the
7:56 am
7:57 am
deal. i just don't think i wouldn't better choose to have surgery on the plastic surgery going under the knife for beauty or on yesterday's mom. manual, i want to get a nose job. some other i think his face is fine. there's plenty of potential for conflict. when generations class us and them in 30 minutes on the w to the point. strong opinions, clear position, international perspective. alarm bells have been bringing in much of germany after
7:58 am
a far party won a regional election for the 1st time since the end of world works. here is the a f, the success a canary in the coal mine for the future of europe's largest economy, to the point was seen in 90 minutes on d. w. the . how many platforms can you handle single attain usually without having the feeling that it's just too much? you might see me. how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking diesel, modern. because if we do too much, we paid it all wrong. we messed things up. risking brain damage. so let's stop this
7:59 am
self sabotage. humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v. w documentary, this is, he is hungry. i'm saying, and it still plays, telling us 32000000 people live here. many of them i understand you are so big and has so many people there must be a way to do business here though, except for fund i my parents wanted me to become a civil service, but i didn't like the idea of getting such an old fashioned job and being stuck with the dream coming through, making money, having a sun when not fails and so i'm seeing stuff, september 19th on dw, the
8:00 am
basically the, the news life from berlin. police call it and attempted to attack an 18 year old suspects. you'll find a rifle, the twenty's, the other is rarely considered in munich. used to drop dead despite almost between vale and, and also coming up germany's foreign minister and lin available pledges more 8 percent of students in gaza as part of a trip to the middle east. but no sign of any less up in violence, beneficiary is ram. and your brains air defense needs on the agenda at the meeting of keeps weston ministry. becca is taking place in germany.
