of course we say they're about never giving up every weekend on d w the, this is dw news advocate 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 finance prestige projects, which they say leave them and future generations into a very disappointed i see that's a government is lucky sending to us mainly is that most things taken care of. and so i expect pretty much what we did say as the 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 tax thinking, plus farmers in northeastern united syria or 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 fruit crisis from escalate the unlike look to 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 bilateral 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 will have some analysis in a moment. but 1st,

we look at one of the countries having problems with repayments and that is kenya to help pay for the many loans. the government imposed tax likes which sparked violent protests. many canyons are painfully aware of the downsides of seemingly attractive infrastructure projects, financed by china. like the $5000000.00 range 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 no to the benefit of most canyons. this elevated highway connecting no ruby with his international applewood has also been criticized. the

tax paid was bad and with the costs, but only few kenyans 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 beijing $7000000000.00, mainly for the development of roads rails and pull it into structure. experts say the continent is hoping in 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, china also now, when you go and get money from them, then they do not really assume any question stronger. i mean, they don't tell us, you know, different 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, who to propose tax increases. there were a wide, unpopular, and let to months long, and debbie cortez across the country to this post at the end. and 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 this . 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 national improvements. uh, as it goes ahead, which includes a negotiated use on behalf of the government that i don't get to see the benefits and to get to see if any progress on which i feel as a, as a tax thinking in kenya's, toby debt is equivalent to 2 thirds of its gdp interest payments alone are eating up more than a quarter of the revenue. it connects to that and the economic crisis can yes,

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 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 for africans. 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 concepts you kenyon and financial advisor, n c o of rich management. welcome ali, or thank you. as we just saw in the report there 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 can you do you have as being a significant to commitment to in the late to send them some and each by seeking thing is 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,

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 was consequential relationship for 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 i need is to account because it is a good bar of this money and misspent it. it is thought the cause 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. it because the citizenry for the 1st time that's out in the 15 is understood this 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 of 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 to ship 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 at stake. i think what we're dealing with here in 10 years, the results of a previous administrations, of which the president was kind of sending detached, where we sold massive profit gets the massive a creeping off the top. and that's the price. what paid for right now,

and this is no different to many of assets in countries, but i think we've got a whole into account. this is a very tough period. that effort and companies 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 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 that some would argue. so i think, you know, it's been a challenge for the after you've gone on in

a century which one of the extraction of all mature without any value addition exported into pebble ma africans both received revolt site. and interestingly, in particularly a lot of the critical manuals that the next century ought to be found on, they asked me put down the question is, how does after could go about getting a better deal for itself? the 1st thing is you have as many people sitting opposite you on at the table and to be that for 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 citizenry. that's the go to change and what was the best is the best interest of themselves going forward. i think we look at how we negotiate with all of our partners, the china is one of the best 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 noticed, but the big in 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. we do. i think indonesia is probably the best pri costs for africa. they literally told folks what extracting menus, no, no, no, you're gonna have to put factories, processing, guns in country. and then many countries and many companies were forced to do that . that's the way for with the got the infrastructure. we need infrastructure, what 1300000000 people need to be collected. and that is also critical at the for, i think, you know, one con, criticized china for building the, the 100000 kilometers of roads. 10000 kilometers the railways and building as a boat. it was necessary,

but you can criticize for its blood. 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 region. it's just between everybody and 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 are on the, 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 where you're giving us much to think about our deep thanks to all the concept true canyon financial advisor and ceo of rich management. i pleasure. suspected boca 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 them. 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 of the it wasn't safe to be on this farm land on the outskirts of my degree as it used to be controlled by bulk of around jihad, this militants. well, the location we are now, the jo location is best describe the more lead slice of the la area near here 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 it give it to genesis or been able to as them to tide and then repel them falling backwards from the city. the rural communities are under such threats that the state 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 full not vocal her on fights is patrol while farm is 10 their crops. but the ranges are only on duty officers and 6 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 yet on a weekend to get out of school. it is, is i design our school 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 we'll let you go need. the security is the most enough. 2 of his 3 farms, i'll be on the ministry's boundary. the problem is i gather some areas it will know

if i'm able to have the funds. so yeah, it was village because as pam, i didn't put out. 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 that is the beauty, but didn't it didn't into the of the did nobody waiting? there wasn't no problem. the other one is to take you to the air. i'm some of allowing me to give me that. so it does what we're new in there. but not everyone is being so cautious they are all farm is taking risks. i'm told they are returning to a bad and land without committed free protection. they say it's small 1st house and it's worth the money they have to pay to vocal around to use it. but security officials 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 boca her last u. k. i had been planned to get into my from ready,

that's wendy services came on. they took a cell phone time and money. also from on naples, they are you, which are 3 people where kidnapped smoke up. they took them a week and demanded from some guy. she'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, say 3000000 people in photo stage or food and secure. at this a facility and by degree malnutrition cases have reached records levels. every year we see a size of the police in cases, but uh since 2022 it has been different. and so it's, yeah, it's increased actually unusually like a 2 folds increase compared to the previous year. and then this. yeah, it's away much higher than the previous. yes. so it last week. oh, it's very difficult and i certainly for 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 business nice. the rain full has been. this is 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 d. w. 's away. so 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 which people

are leaving presently. is this tuition of the decision of frustration and estimation of a set time because of the issue of is security. is there any season where from us are supposed to be very busy adapt funds? what that is, what's happening people that i'm mine is to go to the funds. i went there with a lot of. yeah. because of course, when i taught by vocal hi, rob that had been happening or doing the goodman had what? it's called a broad range of what doors cannot protect people. yeah, i'm looking for a tech to people. you know, even the security agents we have from the military to the point of view to the plan plot the, i'm not able to provide the protection that is needed. so that is that in people in the local government areas where the government relocated people from

the i. d p comes the my degree, the capitana of what listed on the video of this ted, where the and the ticket back them. but it is or be within the look of government the see me see that you can have that protection. people cannot trouble 1015 because outside the government to do any c as a way to define dropping in between one more kind of goodman to the ad that you need me to, to export. or you just take the risk and do it for your boss. even major highways, literally 2 s. so it's a very terrible condition. and this is what i mean the northeast, even into north with, well, we have monday, 3. when you have taken over the fun, you kind of go to the farm. if you have to do, you have to pay a 2nd taxes. so i love you to plan. you come to have this job to get taxes. when

you all have visits and it is period where i buy some of the crops of it before i visited. some that money to plenty, i didn't. what did you kind of go on to take what you planted back home? so that is the issue 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 in, in this case of the farmers there for that as so there are reasons for, for 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. where do you 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 pluses defend the

maybe tense, you've too much more. thank. so that type of disability has to get a patient to show that yes, we have to, frankly, 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. 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 to kinda protect themselves. somebody with a q 4 to 7 and it please it know, it gives the law in 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, the low is about finding, finding, finding, when you don't allow them to go from then the us holding it point in the on site to you 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 with this is not one good desk around. and the attack on go back is more like in lumen war web by your enemy is on this site on your own data sites. you can easily talk number 2 galleries, issue of 40 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 it was there and that's where we'll ended. do check out our other stories on d, w dot com slash africa, or of course on social media. we leave you with these pictures of the parents 2024 paralympics, where several african athletes have been competing for metals. we'll see you next time, bye for now the,
