are mapped out shows the geopolitical reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube the, this is dw news advocates coming up on the program. once again, china pleasures billions for africa, but are more chief loans. creating dead traps for african countries. 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 into a very disappointed i feels bad to our government is lucky sending to us mainly is that most things taken care of. and so i expect we must, once we didn't say,

as because i had to put in, put a negotiated use on behalf of the government. but 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 crisis from escalate 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. there's so it's

a geo political and economic 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,

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 tack sykes, which sparked violent protests. many canyons are painfully aware of the downsides of seemingly attractive infrastructure projects financed by china. like the $5000000.00 railroad that was supposed to transform penya 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 no to the benefit of most canyons. this elevated highway connecting no ruby with us. international applewood has also been criticized. the tax paid was bad and with the costs,

but only 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, that cycle to also know where to go and getting 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 williams were to propose tax increases, but there were widely unpopular and let to months long and debbie quotas across the country. so this post abandoned 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 fifty's projects that lead them and future generations and debt. instead, they want more drops they should be able to incorporate it to the union use. it 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 is mostly sending to us means that not being taken care of. and so i expect to be a natural impedance. uh, as it goes ahead, which includes a negotiated deals on behalf of the government that i don't get to see the benefits . i only 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 gdp interest payments. and them are eating up more than a quarter of the revenue. it connects to the that and the economic crisis can use

in 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 together. but china could do more to help african countries to escape that, that cycle of the current coming ports, 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 full of your guns, and so we don't have to keep begging, you know, and, and, and trying to emigrate 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 us. thank you. as we just

saw in the report they are from kenya, 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 effort couldn't get countries for the most part over borrowed, misspent, and the price has to be paid. and that's why we're at the moment. so to be clear,

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 african governments have over far road. i think we are responsible, as african citizens of holding all need is to account because it is a good bar of this money and misspent. it isn't thought because of a, the responsibility at the, at the chinese store. so i think on, on the most part, i'm optimistic and particularly the optimist. that because the citizen read for the 1st time that's out in the piston, is understood that it's and as understood, what leadership has done that is folding leadership to account your canyon yourself

. you were born there raised there. and now we're on the 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 taxes. think, you know, ultimate tickets on the dealership that's got outage the actual size of all countries best. the effectively use their own expenditure, government 6 and create environments. pres, which will increase that stake. i think what we're dealing with here in 10 years, the results of a previous administrations, of which the president was uh, kind of sending detached where we sold massive profit gets the massive a, creeping off the top. and that's the price we're paying for right now. and this is

no different to many of assets and countries, but i think we've got a whole into account. this is a very tough period, that african countries, again, 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 our youth 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, you know, it's been a challenge for the afternoon on more than a century,

which the extraction of moments here without any value addition exported into pebble ma africans talk received new people site. and interestingly, in particularly a lot of the critical manuals that the next century ought to be found on, they asked me down. the question is, how does after could go about getting a better deal for itself? the 1st thing is get 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 in the best interest of the citizenry that the going 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, the china is one of them. and one of the most important ones. and i think once we

get to that point, and once we negotiate, you know, in the interest of the, of the continent, we will get better deals. i notice that the paying and his speech made comments to that effect seeking to create a 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 manuals, no, no, no, you're gonna have to put the factories, processing dogs 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 con, criticized china for building, you know, 800000 kilometers the roads, 10000 kilometers the railways and building as a boat. it was necessary. but you can criticize for is, well,

these good deals take the canyon s g a. yeah, i mean, that is just an embarrassment when you think about which it was meant to collect the entire reach. and it's just between there would be a number that's that's, it's a point that's uh why tell us. and as it stands, so you can look at specific transactions and say, no, this did not work out. and then inspect my research. and those reasons are interesting when you look into them deeply, and i think that's more of your people are 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 concept to canyon financial advisor and ceo of rich management. i pleasure. suspected boca, ron militants,

have killed at least 8 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 by the 30 shea. many are still missing, and few, the death toll could rise. authorities say it appears to be a revenge attack for the killing of 2 militants by village in 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 ransom. 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 wound was report from warner state, the violence is exacerbating food shortages in the region with catastrophic

consequences. not long ago, it wasn't safe to be on this farm land on the outskirts of my duties as it used to be controlled by bulk of around jihad, his militants. well, the location we are now, the jo location is best to describe the more lead slice of the la area near area and out was on. was it no greater? i just like you said, because it was uh, i truly invented by the terrorist but to dental vision on the military. and unless they give it to genesis or been able to assist 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 fift extortion and even kidnapping for ransom. now,

soldiers civilian volunteers, and even for my bulk of our 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. we can, we add on it's, we can 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 accordingly. 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 the most enough. 2 of his 3 farms beyond the ministry's boundary. the problem is that that is i'm, it is,

it will know if i'm able to have the funds. so yeah, it was village because as okay, i'm ready. yeah. so do you book, i don't like that you thought it would do, would it would now says didn't it, didn't i would that some so i have never been via the 02019 is the beauty but didn't it didn't into the of the did nobody waiting there wasn't the one that is to take you to those there. i'm so a lot, let me look, give me that. so it doesn't go anywhere in there. 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 with the money they have to pay to vocal around to use this. but security official say these all the farm 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 bocca are now shockey. i had been planned to,

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 where kidnapped smoke up. they took them a week and demanded from some guy. he's so good to have a, a mazda would be in security for the farm is, is, was sitting and already bad food crisis in the region. but you as well as food programs, saves 3000000 people in photo stage of food and secure at this a facility and my degree malnutrition cases have reached records levels. every year we see a size of the present cases. but uh since 2022. it has been different, so it's, yeah, it's increased actually i'm 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. so it's very difficult for a team because we've got so many patients coming in and also so many very sick also

. so some of them would been, is been sent across and the day unfortunately, we lost a good number for a week. i would say almost 50 something session sites. the rain full has been basis, 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 us for more, i'm joined by dw away, so eager to see joins us from the nigerian capital boudreau 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

i live in prison please. is this tuition lafayette, this issue of frustration on as traditional a set time because of the issue of is security. is there any season where farm us are supposed to be very busy at the funds? what that is, what's happening? people that i'm mine is to go to the funds when there was a lot of yeah, because of course were 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 not being protect 2 people involved in the security agents we have from the military to deploy lead to the plan plot the i'm not able to provide the protection that is needed. so that is that c i n people in the local government areas where the government

relocated people from 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 be within the little kind of government that you can have that protection. people come more trouble 1015 . let me just outside the government to do any c as a way to the file drop and in between. one will come up into the ad that you need me to, to export. or you just take the risk on, on your off every major highways many to s. so it's a very terrible condition. this is what i mean to northeast, even into northwest, where we have monday, 3. when did have taken over by default, you cannot go to define. if you have to do, you have to pay a certain taxes allows you to plan. if you come to have this, you have to get taxes. when you all have visited,

it is period where i buy some of the crops of it before i visited some that money to plenty, i didn't wish to kind of go on of what you planted back home. so that is the situation in that area. i'm out the way to a question. people continue to ask and will continue persistent asking until this whole thing is resolved. why does boca around keep targeting civilians? and in this case, the farmers, there were the suburb he's in, spoke to her. um, is there a good that sheet on you formation when the touch severely of that is where they get large number of people, there isn't a type of a 100 people were acute in your district. way i do see that number. if you're taking military or police, or districts, or any security age and how many people i did send and how many passes i did send,

they may be attentive to much more. thank you for that type of disability us to get that a patient to show that yes, we often fall into the bas 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. we don't go anywhere. if you do the military or the good thing can provide security. they cannot do that. so when did i taught large number of civilians and then told me to do this. i had it kind of protect themselves. somebody with a q 4 to 7 and it please it know, it gives a 1000000 that data for you to have gone to protect yourself. you have to rely on the government. so didn't know what this is, so i get a touch civilians. i get away with it, and then that is what i mean by latricia. there's what i do home for the one to see

that yes, the good been displayed in depth and go and continue. because when people cannot find what would be the result to do with this, the trend they know it's about finding, finding, finding, when you don't allow them to go from then the us holding it point in the on site to ensure that does. and so just so you continue to promote a part of the country way through. 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 do it on government is unable to disseminate or bring an end to this number one that you to is watching it body that will we

this is not why good desk around and the attack and go back is more like in lumen wolf web by your enemy is on this site on your own data sites, you can easily talk about tool galleries, issue of 40 to can we looked up to see that the government, if they are serious, they can bring an end to this problem for long again, we see it was there and that's where we'll ended. do check out our other stories on d, w dot com, slash traffic or, or of course on social media, we leave you with these pictures of the terrace 2024 paralympics. were several african athletes have been competing for metals. we'll see you next time, bye for now the,
