and honestly tried to do the workings, 32 hours a week to be better for the assignments and 40. but of course, we shouldn't be 90 the. the living scientists just had subscribe. whatever you listen to hold costs, the why does something that happened a 140 years ago still matter to you? today on the 77 percent, we explore how and event that divided up africa and 6 out of colonialism remains relevant today. welcome to the show, i am your host. ok at english level coming up on the show in pennsylvania, we need students to feel what they learn about colonial history at school. and can yeah, the performer community still waiting for the return of a sick with drunk that was stolen by the bridges and the mayor of free telling me, sees the german ethic a price for

a commitment to the sample. or have you ever looked at a map of africa and notice how straight the borders of some countries are? the may be a, for example, where i'm from. looks like it was drawn up with a ruler. that's because over a century ago, powerful world leaders met up in germany to shape the future of africa by selecting territories to establish the colonial borders that we know today. for a quick refresher, my colleague victor pen, well, it takes us through the berlin conference. did you it time frames got to please almost 140 years ago. change defeats of the actually gun sentiments in november of 18 each for a few of the walls and those possibly lead us guys are going to jump on still for the sort of bringing timeframe. so let's take a look. that's what really happened and why that happened during the age and seventies and early eighties. you've gotten nations such as greek between frank,

a gentleman, he began to get to ask the guy so naturally, associates to green day industrial sectors as well as a professional. my kids for the good these factories produce the confidence markets because i marks for you counseling, position for taylor t in africa. the outcome of the meeting has impacted you in more weeks time. kind of imagine here a 5 key ticket with that you need to know their burden, confidence of 18 minutes fault. it's huge 5. what's the initial step by jump on transfer those books over on this mark the idea closer to the dispute in between the video. so you can pause weird, vine for interest in africa, and those avoid the was, it was attended by 15. you can countries the us and watch them on the impact of that. say this is very timeframes by giving the democratic republic of claims as a private key to the bill john gene. the you can tell us identified zones amongst themselves based on the individual interest and proceeds on these eventually let's

do each of the african continent, variable desk that takes these 2 dates. the conference did half of one plus feed. i was calling it finally for b slipped feet in africa. that'd be gone. indicate the teams senshi. now a big point from what we just heard is that the berlin conference was a scramble for africa and its resources. but imagine coming into an area where people have already settled and wanting to land or pushing them into hard labor. colonial forces face mess of resistance. you may have heard of the hetero number genocide in the media or the my g, margie rebellion intends on. yeah. but how much of this history is taught in schools for this week, special debate and money henrich is in doris. allow me to explore this very question. let's take a look. hello

everyone, and welcome to 77 percent special debate. and today we're here in terms of near the rest of them at this group comp us to get up with students and historical express. we want to explore how much the history, particularly colonial history, to as much as to date, to kick off this discussion. i'm posing this question to the students when to do 1st time, then about that island, the history of calling the reason for my grandparents my grandfather, my grandmother. i was excited to learn more about how to make one further up to the active being achieve in my hand guy the and 2 together region in june be so i was actually more interested in learning more of the tactics and leadership skills he used in class we so we touched on it, but it's very basic knowledge that we learn about it. when we do learn it, it's not very representative of the whole globe and it doesn't really talk about how other countries, especially countries in africa have undergone or how experiences were altered for everyone. we actually discussed the same topic with the students in the school in

don't mind and they recorded some questions for all of you guys. so come close that to me so that you can see the question. my question for you guys is whether you guys learned about client isn't in class or how much more you're informed then us or maybe which is my class. yes. so my question to you guys would be how you feel about germany? since i know germany did not do nice things in the corner this so the 1st question was, how much do you learn about history in your classes? are previous history. teacher went out of his way to actually teach us about colonialism about the german colonialism and those that actually actually the only way that i learned about it. and the 2 most significant things that we learned to was in your 6 when we went to the bottom royal slave trade place and out and in your a to in the, went to kill a q, c one e. where was mostly the arabic slave trading. what was the feeling of the hearing

that i was actually quite shocked because i didn't i had no clue about that before . as i thought terms in the i was just like, completely independent or so it was just before that it was just like a whole african tribes united. we went on the textbook like was this literacy is talking about colonialism. but we also went out of the textbook like, what are the students opinion, how do you see the amount of colonial these and how do you take it as personal? like, do you see there is any current relationship between the, those years of colonialism and this is our current life. we thought colonialism. so the 2nd question was about, how do you guys feel about the deadline? is because the student feel like a gentleman didn't do anything good. they were harsh, so they killed a lot of people and like they, they fought like rebellions like my mind you're building like a machinery so like, people shouldn't like. so it was very hush hush. okay. i see the hand

here, although jeremy do a lot of bad stuff. i quite enjoyed the country. i think they're very, very interesting countries. and i think they still have a big impact in terms of near right now. for me, it was a bit challenging, learning about cooling isn't because i'm from both background german and offer tense and it's hard to believe that your own people could do that to your other culture in the way. and so it was kind of difficult growing up. thank you so much, remy. you are the cultural curator. yeah. and you walk around black and african history and you was born in pennsylvania, but later on, grew up in germany. how do you feel like to have like the rich nor it's around these. he story of 2 countries. i'm a big with ears with the confuse, but we're working on healing and growing. and just educating more people about colonialism, a lot of our history was a res. so a lot of us is she was very difficult to step into. i wanna say the proud african

pierre and step into the story and like the recess, the and at the same time was an extreme gap of knowledge. read. this was knowledge kept things. we just don't know because they were in griffin, or they were taken to germany like sculls and all the information's diaries. we don't have so much of that intense and am. i think there's still a discrepancy and a gap of like who benefits from different things which we called post colonial effects. like after colonialism, what happens, but then there's also the emotional effect of like, what happened to my ancestry, where as the remains of our grandparents and how can i step into myself. we know there was an qual, uh he did a b, c, d, but do we know of his emotions? he says, day to day activities. um what he felt, what he went through, maybe personal relationship with his wife with these kids. we don't know that because we loved them like fictional characters. so i was, i was, it was the to,

i wanted to bring forth the stories of women which are very much, i'm told basically. but i also wanted to bring out the stories that people can relates they can, they can see the mentor processing of these people and how, what's broach then what's the filaments broke them to become? who they? well, because most of that has men. we see men of saves most of the time and there is none, especially in cuz we have none of that. thank you so much here in terms of and yet we have lead to dunc a who also at least history has been head and told 2 different generation and we have the video of both. so let's watch it. you take it down, go was a spiritual leader from then your total people and thinking about north central attends on you. she was born in the 1816 to a family of traditional. she lives in a state, but she could predict the future. german forces came into her region in 191 as they tried to expand a 13 over there. colonial kings called on her people to resist german colonial rule

. when the germans got wind up the resistance, we had to cut down the ticket done. got you set to have use peace to protect people and come to the germans advanced weapons, pensa, named queen of the beach. according to oral tradition. could somebody who's to distract german forces after which local fighters would attempt in local folk, lo and songs, and the ticket, duncan's power over the beast was ruined by an informant. her best friend in an act of betrayal, lead ticket on go, was captured by german authorities with help from rival collaborate. she was beheaded and has called, allegedly taken to germany. today, she still remembered intense. i mean, full tilt as a career just by 2 and a fearless woman. how do you guys feel about the video after watching the video is always super excited, cuz of this thing. first it is a woman close. we don't actually hear more about women, but in that video,

it gave me a sense they also women were involved in fighting full independence during the time of colonialism. i feel like it's a repeated history because a lot of chips also happened to have the same kind of past that they were resisting or said, and i got into a hiding. and the funds would betray them because of bribery and stuff like that. and i just feel like at some point, it's a reason as to why independence was a bit late, most of history's mass, right? so like it's trying to shape like a different side of the storage and sometimes heat in many parts of like africa. and then also world history live in den, just affect men affected women and several children as well. and these stories are not being shared out. no one is taking into consideration devona bertie and refreshing that they have faced in their life. and i think a lot more like needs to be signed onto that. what do you think should be done to make sure that the young generation equipped with much knowledge currently not only

in pens any but also in germany? we don't colonialism is not a main factor. so in terms of media event, it's private schools or government schools. we often learn from the british era. and then even our curriculum after independence is mostly british focused. so there's a lot of need to involve historians and other pedagogical forms to coal, right? um, pedagogical books, really do you think this history shapes the 2 days while adult? all future in any way? yes, of course it shapes and we were talking about racism. the fact how we think about ourselves and about how are those think of us so, which also means is a big chance to teach shape the right to empower young humans to learn more. i believe that having different stories, they're not just focus from the west and also are told from an african viewpoint is

very important, which we can see throughout clinic zation is lacking. whereby most of the evidence is recorded by the western world, and it isn't very accurate for a lot of us. they generally like young people, i don't know myself. i don't my culture wasn't. i explained to me all told to me because i needed to learn like language just like english, so i can be able to survive in society today. but generally, so he, these are important like language for us is what's voltage preserves our culture and all of it's being taken away on what keep forgetting about it. so let's go back to ones where you are, but to keep changing. thank you so much for watching and am we mind harowick from the side of the. c very good point to raise in that the bait history should be taught in the language you understand. and also from an african perspective, we have

a lot more debates or not 77 percent youtube channel. so be sure to check it out. now i have a question for you. how does colonialism affect you would love to hear your thoughts on social media platforms. but for a start we us young people in the maybe a, a nature. yeah, that's very question. it's a junk button. we have to somehow uh, 10 percent of pick decide to put it in for lunch is between dave. i see those dates between whites and blacks. they believe me that that's moving around the 20 minutes . wait. maybe they should just blow it is a call on the on demand different as i do not think was the same as it was making the data. but we don't suffer from something except in things that fee like connections. you might not get a show. it was brought to be shown as one of decided,

bunting degree shown we had no united put on the anything because it's center to start from what happens to be at least we should that's already been done. well the, the stuff that we basically, if i just looked at me for see what do you mean fluid in education? if we went school in ice from then we would still be living. and we, we used to be, we get a community like the other they both now everybody's like shows on get back. yeah. unable every you got is that you through that to get an is big like what is now? i'm not going to blame the queen and now my size any more because we all put on insurance and countries. levels have been pretty nice and they've actually done reporting sales. i think be responsible for what we do right now. act of mean to this once it will need that. not responsible for maybe all right, no, not likely. now most of that is definitely food plus spot. can we blame colonialism for the current state of countries or should that responsibility lie with our

leaders as well? in our next report, we explore how kenya's, vocational community is still waiting for the return of a secret drum taken by british colonial offices over a 100 years ago. while it's stored in the archives of the british museum, the drums to hold significant power for this community. monrovia, zimbabwe, tens, every so often to these groups in shallow on the banks of kansas, tennessee river. he belongs to the become a community. the grooves once house the book almost secret and got the drum which was stolen by british colonial offices over 100 years ago. in the past, the eldest wood had been kaji in a place like vc. it was a secret place in the forest in height, but not events moisture trent could find their way here. the drum or gag was once we via does it become, was sent to a sovereign power. it determined that we of life the

without it, the groove is no longer a secret, and the performers governing council to reach men rarely belongs. because last to most of its authority, elders like men, we have vivid memories of the colonial period. that they were too young to have set eyes on the drum themselves. after taking ven, guide you from the pl como it was shipped abroad and kept in storage in london's british museum. the homeless king michael rodney, i'm gonna go for the 7th and the elders and his kingdom. i will read the drum will never return. then guide is like a list. i need imagine if i had the missed of westminster, the probably meant in england if i had the mis lang somewhere and they musing it, does that, what store, what was it to me 2nd you need yes to them. it's,

this isn't a drum for savages, but wait. it is a beautiful place, which is not always easy for, but the task means it has some function. why should do denied an object? it's functions like the for coma. many communities across the applicant, continental demanding. so the return of the slender, comfortable feeling, kenya's national museum and exhibition is taking place in visible inventories is questioning the results of the objects at the like visual for these ex prisoners like these empty boxes. because like, when you go to a museum, you don't expect to see em 2 cases. the missing objects include items such as masks,

shield, smoking, times coons, gree block of drums and stuff. lines on, you know, the invisible inventories program, recorded like 52000 missing on the plan was to create a database of canyon objects that are spread out across these cultural institutions across the world. because because can yet, as in no way to object sign what the we decided to visualize every object as a shipping label. because for us, every object that left was shipped out. right. and honestly, we've covered on the was, but this is only like 2000 the british museum has one of the largest collections in the world of cultural artifacts, given the breath of its colonial empire. while other former colonial powers have already begun the process of retaining looters as effect, britain is still dragging these all these beautiful se,

laws against mental homes x, which is really strange that you know, you take objects from people and then you create laws to prevent them going back, so now it's, if it's really going to be tunnel objects which was mostly legal, take them right. macaroni homeless king recently got communication from the british museum that they would like to talk a huge step forward from when he 1st large to the initial request, his community, which number of roughly 200000 live in one of the porous regions of kenya. many no longer adhere to the old traditions and questioned the renaissance of the drum to day. yet macaroni remained adamant about its importance. it is really a very important sent a photo of people. but in the museum, it's just on a moment of attraction. here it is bound to the life of all these he did, he prepared. this is our property if he basically got hacked in and then he didn't

really tons to a single, nope, bank for so many heidi's low food that didn't really tends to be or less the king macaroni and really as opposed to when i return to the old days will not be every else but sitting here under the lush mangled trees by the tennessee river. the hopeful that the society, distinct identity will one day be resurrected an era to for come on once proud on. now and that's dwelling on the past. oh and makes report takes us to the present. and one woman's vision for the future. i'm talking about a born kasanya, the mayor of the town in syria, neal, she has just been awarded this you as i think a price for our efforts to improve passivity. take a look. this is free town, the capital r c. early on. since 2018. the city is run by may. uh,

yvonne. okay. so yeah. i grew up in a city that was green. i grew up in this city where like i said, i left, i'm trees. i mean, i was doing that since i was this high. and i love nature. and seeing that being destroyed and seeing the challenges with sanitation that were around a you know, in 20172018. those are factors that push me that on. yeah, that made me do to make the decision to, to run for office after meeting with some of presidents if the recovery team. okay . so get into politics and one of the mayoral election in 2018 advocating for a transform fee ton agenda. so i'm business plans, address waste management and aimed to restore sweet sounds green hills through tree planting. obviously it is committed to protecting the environment and

once future generations to experience the green, freetown of her childhood, the weight $25.00 whatever she does, yvonne q. so yeah, what is the bolts of citizens of q town and had decision making this type of government has until a claim, but locally and nationally solidifying. let us and impact the re to growth of the population diversity, the lack of timing um either challenges around the way the building permit thing is done at a centralized level. has meant that in spite of 5 years of hardware, we still see that there's more that we can do there. 2 things that i would definitely say will always stick out for me as like as these of being the mayor.

free town one. not surprising, free town to, to town. you know, our decision and commitment target to plan to 1000000000 cheese. the 2nd would be interesting, lee, people floods manage what the may, a has prioritized, clean, such as the economy initiatives to address local challenges. then you plot the process is ways to bring it into kaufman. this cooking briquettes offers an alternative to the widely used chocolate brick hips and the city the trees. she plans help with use the ad temperature and make the city more resilient to flooding and drugs. and it's not just about the fact that these environmental issues out there, you've made a huge progress. it's also about the fact that the people of the cities lines are negatively impacted by the fact the time of change is competing. temperatures are rising, sea levels are rising extra weather patterns are becoming more common. if you don't

care of who gets the credits, you're more likely to get things done. we want the work to be done for the people of free town. it doesn't need to have our name on it. it just needs to be done. at least this wish won't come true despite it's not wanting any credit for where you've gone. ok, so one of the german africa prize 2024 for commitment and dedication to the people of his city. the is a big congratulations to evo, and i can show you as a wrap up the show. it's clear that the past due impacts both me and you, but it's great to see how learning our history can help us shape the future. let's continue the discussion on our social media pages. we always want to hear from you . i'll leave you with this inspirational from from the one and only rocky. the only calls have never bowed down until next 5 chairs
