just moments after you realize you might be under attack. what went through your mind? uh, michael. i did not even have time to think because the gunmen had been following me from pioneer match to my residence. i didn't know they were after my life. i thought they were just all united police officers will head out us to me 8 times in the previous year. so i did not. i did not have any clue about about the fact that there was about to be, i've talked to and, and when they, they came out of the vacant with the automatic rifles. i simply did not have time to think about what was going on. it was just kinda money, old man with gun fire and all the terrible noise. so i didn't, i didn't really have time to think why or you pursuing legal action against the 10s

indian government and to go the telecommunications company. of course, in other words, what do you hope to get out of this both for yourself and the countries? we have much cops at the legal proceedings as yet what uh we have with we have what i have done is tool is tracked my lawyers in line, but to explore the possibilities of legal action in the bridges cards are in america and all european costs. and this is bad on the reason to have elections in the british car box that to go and it's part of the company, mainly call. i had provided the governmental tons on. yeah. with that and live that top well location and, and, and, and so you know, my electronic data which enables the government and it's a, it's got government to track me down from pilot to my residence and trying to me.

so if my lawyers besides about, we are going to go to, to court in europe or north america as a wish. uh, the intention would be not only to get justice for myself, but also to get to the bottom of the estimation of 10. we would like to know who did what, who demanded that i be tracked electronically by milly. com and its tons. let me um, substitute jerry. oh who, who on who was infractions, had provided the information for me to go to got the information who passed it on to the government. we want to get to the bottom of page sent that he's on is that for the past 7 years, the governmental tons of yeah, has refused consistently. in fact,

i meant very few words to investigate the the monitor. i'm doubtful if we have to get to the bottom of it. we must get it. we'll have to get it through the use of a british or american car. why don't you believe you can get justice through that evidence intensity in court or in pounds. i mean, yeah, it is simply impossible to the government of cons. i'm yeah, because i refused to investigated the tons. i'm young cards to yours. the same testimony that was given in british quotes times. i mean, i'm cards most independent today. yeah. about the fun of the executive of the president for a point, it's all the judges of trans. i mean, i'm cards are incapable of, of dealing with this my top that because of that because they lack the message that

independence would be with the med jackass involving a manager or position she got like these particular kids and we'll talk about story need it. we're going to pursue way to in, in british all, not the american cops precisely because there is no other way of getting justice in the courts in terms any. yeah, sure you are well aware of course, that under the new administration, they've been crackdowns arrest disappearances and one senior member of your party was abducted allegedly killed and doused in acid. all in recent months. is tenzing, ia a free country? a cause i'm here is not a free country. the late on the keyboard was i've turned it back to about 3400 meters from a residence for where i am right. mount pulled out of the boss,

which was parked in that right in the middle of the highway. find all the into the product is used by. i intended to have some security to people in this country. and brooke, county protel of torture before being my dad and dogs the in, in se, so it's kind of funny which color age which come me so total of 8 action. so best match up. i'm up but, and it's time to be described as a free country. why do you think no one was held accountable for your 27th teen assassination attempt? and do you believe your legal action might change that and there is on that the no one has been held accountable for the attack is because with the people who seem to have the action to

investigate and punish those would be the people who also rise. you'll see to i was before i was attacked, the president then president john pulled him on the 46 tab to on live missional television. that those who oppose the easily jim's economic policies did not deserve to leave. and to our play top i, i was barely my, the saw, it came directly from the president. and now we know now we know about, for the previous, for the previous 2 weeks, i was on the grounds, comp, subdivisions, electronically and for all human could kind of get and then and saw it is, it is very clear about the school public trip at this at the director of the president, and they come out to close, investigate themselves because they are still in power. you appear, sir,

to be talking to us quite freely. i'm curious. are you safe? intensity? you know, i'm not, i'm not safe because i mean is not a safe country. and the, the roof of that a fashion is the mazda of me. so i need people on the last month. and yet, for those to go back to and yet you chose to go back to, to engineer and you were still there now. yes, i did, i did that. i believe that's a, a base model off to, i mean has to be fast. it has to be a pause, but it has to be, it has to be the vista and bring it from a design is my to difficult and i can, i can tell you that for 5 years i was x, i was better, difficult to, to organize. i is the stuff on the nation most can i guess this to and so i'm here

because we need no one is safe. i'm not safe. i mean, you know, sometimes i'm, yes i'm up say. and precisely because of that, we have to organize resistance in order to deal with that. we'd be still tend to be in opposition figure to do the so many. thank sir. thank you so much for having me, michael. we should mention, we invited to engineers, governments, folks person to respond to mr. lewis, who's allegations, but we received no response choosing bob boy, next, where the un says almost 60 percent of rural people will be living with severe hunger between january and march of next year. in april 2024, the government declared a state of emergency and then disaster. the harvest failed. so dire officials even

announced plans to coal elephants for food. but some people, particularly women or foraging wild crops like bile bought food as a critical source for both food and income loving us. but tony, as long collected, pay about food from the massive trees around the homestead. it's been a welcome addition to the family as usual staples of colon and millet. the dcf drought, driven by climate change in el nino, meant to regular krupps sailed a good, a bundle of and 9. we didn't harvest any crops this year in oklahoma, so we're only able to survive because of the money from bay about for it was a going to go simple. we can only find the horn and sold it in be due on the luxury because of the money simply knows enough when we see the pants. and sometimes i spend a month with a buying

a bar of so many into and i can't even talk of school feel for children's clothes. she didn't just have to ride on often the top, the tree of life. the bay about produces fruit that is extremely nutritious. rich and fat and victim and say it's tice is often compared to that of great fruit vanilla. it's been eaten in africa to thousands of years in the u. s. and the u. license beside the fleet 15 years ago. since then, the bay of bob trade has been booming, key low sales for 30 years in germany, but loved net size. she only sees a fraction of that present the prices are low, sometimes just $0.50 for 5 kilos. need 5 stocks to buy a 10 to no pack is of corn meal put into buffers into moms, but the trees didn't produce much this year will be brand new. so some days i come so one stop. i don't want to go on for love. nice. the by about trade only took

root in her area in 2018, and it's proven a lifeline for tens of thousands of rural people like the african by about alliance estimates at 2 and a half 1000000 african families could profit from the freight seen by wage state run export agency estimates that the country has about 5000000 by about trees. a commercial exploitation is the basis of a growing industry, but the local politicians will and the power is with the buyers. as we operate though, i know i see when the buyers come to take our product, they have their own listed prices. now, based on what i think they should do is to meet and consult us, we're going to go to the local leadership. we agree on price and go to die. so still we have to go to, to get to see people have no choice because they have nothing we did you, we did not place, but the, the buyers are imposing prices on us and we don't have the capacity to resist it

because of hunger force. you to see what that is going to do, you might assume loves nice, has already collected all the food from the trees close to home. and you have to spend 8 hours a day searching through the savannah some more. the next lean period will last till next march and right now loved this kind of know how long her lifeline is. for more on this, we're pleased to welcome gus libretto in from the african bob up the lines. he joins us from just north of the capital here, i guess give us some perspective here or african harvesters. again, mostly women, anywhere close to maximizing their profits from this rude? yes they oh, i mean i think most of august is uh, service in the icon speak for august is order across africa because its obviously varies from country to country. um, but the harvest is that i,

i'm familiar with here in southern africa, are getting, searching these 3 or 4 times more from selling the box into the international market. then they wouldn't be if they had been selling it into the local market just for sale as a whole route. so yeah, i think they actually pretty well out of it. of course they would like to be doing better and they would like to be earning more. that's natural and i'm quite confident. as i said, that in future they will be able to more. but i think right now they do pretty well out of it all things considered. then another thing that's very important to understand is that there's no cost to harvesting probably about fruits. i'm like any form of agricultural production, which requires a farmer to buy seeds from an international company to box, which allows it from an international company to put in their labor in reading a land preparation with bob. all that harvest that needs to do is go and collect

the fruit and store it and then saw if they're getting close to what they should be getting in terms of the profits on this. given the fact that there is a, a drought, an ongoing draft that's been going on and much of southern africa, it sounds like what you're saying is it would be a bad idea to rely on the selling of this fruit for most of your income. or i don't think any of august the that is depending on file but fruit for that income is doing so because out of choice. yeah. they are doing so. so it's not like anyone's got a choice in it. they doing so because in the area with bob, bob exists and is producing food. there's basically nothing else. busy it's an unfortunate situation for them, but let's also looking at the other way around. if that was not an international market football, but those people would be in dia, dia straight,

and the income that they are earning this year from the sat above 3 is probably the difference. and i'm not exaggerating the difference between life and death for those communities. what is the biggest challenge right now preventing the bell, bob trade from becoming a major urn or for rule african communities. the biggest challenge right now about is constraining growth in the bottom of industry and benefits. the flow of benefits to ro harvest is, is the lack of awareness internationally around about, about 5 of the fridge and the relatively small demand for it. if we were able to see major international food companies incorporating bob up into some of the periods and it's an amazing taste deep super fridge from africa. if we were to see more of that, you would see formal benefits flowing to

a much greater number of rural women harvest is across the african concepts. and again, one more time, how critical is the above of trade for these local african harvesters, particularly women in these rural communities. see, bob trade is incredibly important to them because a very try areas and very dropped problem areas where they, they tend to grow agricultural practices, tend to revolve around the crops that are actually from other parts of the world. so in that area, they are often by the way that primary truck is maids. mays does not come from africa. mays comes from central america. it's not adapted to african agro ecological conditions. and when a drought happens, as it does very frequently, especially with changing problematic conditions, but major fails, fall off trees. on the other hand, are evolved to suit the local conditions. and i've never heard of about trees

failing to produce fruits in a drought. yet the bob trees produce fruit every single year, irrespective of the climax and conditions. so it is the one thing on which those communities kind of rely no matter what the climate does to them. our thanks to gus libretto in from the african valve up alliance again. many think ser thank and finally he was quite literally one of the giants of the game. the candidate between the one of the best defensive players in n b, a history. and a long time global investigator for basketball has died after a battle with brain cancer. he was 58. the turnbull was the same for his finger wag, his enormous smile, his unique voice, and his tiring height. at 7 foot to his nickname was mount between bow and he was

one of the best shot blockers in the game. but while he obstructed people on chord off court, he helped them. here's the man. in his own words, each one of our big draw market washer additional the people around the world. and i've got lots of new with the grid, but i can use hard for little bit on my apartment to move toward a better bread. but timbo changed lives for the better in his home country. he built a hospital in new york, named after his late mother, which has treated hundreds of thousands of the congo. these people. news of his passing brought these tribute on the basketball court. in contrast, good once he was a great star, it hurts. and if today we came to play, but we're feeling sorrow,

i'm up losing the company more tongue boys not easy. almost. he was a great inspiration, one that we can't know if we will have any one of his stature in his place on a sudden the new us up logic. definitely most for me it's very moving. and especially as a basketball player, it really hurts because he's one of the greatest basketball player. as far as income goes. he said general lydel lucy to ken bay is among the greatest basketball plans that the d. r. c is ever known. personally i was a child when i 1st deal with him. i saw him play for the 76 this he made many young people dream of seeing that come to lease could also sit in the course of the grades. that's it for now. be sure to check out our other stories on dw dot com, forward slash africa, or of course on social media. so your next time in bye, for now the,
