a documentary about this sounds of power inspiring story about survival of the home and you go get the tennis. i was the only one. what usually in nazi germany, watch now on youtube dw documentary, 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 took started. colonialism remains relevant today. welcome to the show, i am your host. ok to english novel coming up on the show intends on here. we need students to see what they learn about colonial history at school. and can yeah, the performer community a still waiting for the return of a sick with drugs that was stolen by the bridges and the mayor of free telling me,

sees the german attic 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 lead us met up in germany to shape the future of africa by selecting territories to establish the new borders that we know today. for a quick refresher, my colleague victor penn. well, it takes us through the berlin conference. did you know it timeframe that took place almost 140 years ago. changed defeats after gun coincidence in november of 18 each for a few of the was most possibly does guys are going to jump on still for you to bring in timeframe. so let's take a look, that's what really happened and why that happened during the age and seventy's. and

are you using easy gun nations, such as greek, between france and germany, begun to teach africa for natural resources for green day industrial sectors, as well as a professional my kits for the good. these factories produce the political experience of markets because i marks for you counseling, position for taylor in africa. the outcome of the meeting has impacted you in more weeks time. kind of imagine here a hype, keith took you, is that you need to know the body and confidence of 18 minutes fault. it's 5. what's the issue that by jump on sounds a little while to form these mark. the idea closer to dispute in between the video, so you can pause, we're fine for interest in africa, and those avoid the walk. it was attended by 15. you can countries, the us and the ottoman empire at that say, this is very conference that gave the democratic republic of the claim as a private entity to the bill. john jean, the, you can tell us identified zones amongst themselves. please don't get individual

interest on the sheets on these eventually let's do drunk, african coincidence babbling task. but takes these 2 dates. the confidence did have one plus speed outgoing it. finally 4 beat slipped feet in africa. that'd be gone. indicate 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 forcing them into hard labor. colonial forces face mess of resistance. you may have heard of the head or number of 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 debates. and today we're here in terms of near the rest of them at this group comp us together with student and historical ed spots. we want to explore how much the history, particularly colonial history, see as much as to date, to kick off this discussion. i'm posing this question to the student when to do 1st time, then about that island, the history of clothing illusion for my grandparents. my grandfather, my grandmother. i was excited to learn more about how to move one further up to the active being achieved in my hand guy the and can do gather region in june be so i was actually more interested in learning more of the tactics and leadership skills we use 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 undergoing it or how the 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 closer to me so that you can see the questions 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 with just 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 bug, emilio slave trade place and out, and in your a to in the one to kill a k c one e,

where it was mostly the arabic slave trading what was your feeling of to 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 was just like a whole african tribes united. we went on the textbook like was this literacy is talking about clear and you're losing. but we also went out of the textbook like, what are the students opinion, how do you see them out of colonialism? 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 colonial is so the 2nd question was about, how do you guys feel about deadline? is because the 2 didn't 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 a 1000000 like i'm sherry 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 enjoy the country. i think they are very, very interesting country. 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 an offer can and it's hard to believe that your own people could do that to your other culture in a 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 i'll speak on history. and you was born in pennsylvania buckley to on, grew up in gen money. how do you feel like to have like the rich noted around these? he's story of 2 countries. i'm a bid with ears with the confused, but you're working on healing and growing. and just educating more people about colonialism. a lot of our history was res. so a lot of us is,

feels very difficult to step into. i want to say the proud africans here and step into the story and like the recess, the and at the same time with an extreme gap of knowledge. read. this is knowledge gap. things we just don't know because they were in britain 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 in qual, uh he did a, b, c, d, but do we know of his emotions? he says, day to day activities. um what he feels, 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, you was the to, i wanted to bring forth stories of women which are very much on told basically. but i also wanted to bring out the stories that people can relates. they can, they can see that meant the processing of these people and, and how, what's brought then was filaments, both of them to become holding. well, because most of that has men, we see men of saves most of the time. and there is none, especially to get into that we have none of that. thank you so much for your intense and yet we have lead to dunc a who or at least how history has been hit and told to different generation. and we have the video of both. so let's watch it. you take it down, go was a spiritual leader for many, a total people in sync at the north central attends on you. she was born in the 1816 to a family of traditional. she lives in a state that she could predict the future. german forces came into her region in 19

or one as a tried to expand a 13 over there, colonial kings. to take hold on her people to resist the german colonial rule. when the germans got wind up the resistance, we had to put down the ticket done. right. so to have use peace to protect people and come to the germans, advanced weapons, pensa, named queen of the beach. according to oral traditions, let me think you've done some reviews to distract german forces after which local fighters would attempt in local folk, lo and songs. the ticket, duncan's power over the beast, was ruined by an informant. her best friend in an act of betrayal, lou ticket down go, was captured by german authorities with help from rival collaborated. she was be headed in his call and magically taken to germany. today she still remembered intense, i mean, full tilt as a career despite it, and to feel this 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 for 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 so like that into a hiding. and the funds would be tre, 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 straight to shape like a different side of the storage and sometimes hidden in many parts of like africa and, and also world history lives in den, just affect men affected women and several children as well. and these tories are not being shared out. no one is taking into consideration devona, bertie and impressions 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 to with much knowledge currently not only in pens in in but also in germany. we don't colonialism is not a main factor. so in terms of media is, as it's private schools or government schools, we often learn from the british era. and then even our curriculum after independence is mostly a british focused. so there's a lot of need to involve historians and, and other pedagogical forms to coal, right? um, pedagogical books, really do you think this history shapes the 2 days will do 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 either 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 clena zation is lacking. whereby most of the evidence is recorded by the western world and is, isn't very accurate for a lot of us. they generally like young people, i don't know myself. my culture was and they 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 a 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 i am remind her rick 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 in 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 us social media platforms. but for a start, we us young people in the maybe a, a nature. yeah, that's very question a, it's a junk. but some of us do some hold, a 10 percent uptake decide to put in the past. the scene for land is between dave, i see the dates between the white and black simply means that the moving around the 20 minutes late, maybe they should just blow it is a call on the board as a demand. different, as i do not think, se it's the same is it was making the days, but we don't suffer from something like certain things on the case connections, you might not get it. you know,

that was brought to be shown as one of disadvantages. the patient we were, i know united put on there anything. gave us that time for that to start from what hide in the lease. uh we should actually already been done. well the, the stuff that we basically, if i was forgetting me for, see what do you mean for the way i in education. if we went school, the nice them they, we would still be living and we used to be, we get a for me to like the other. they both now everybody's guy shows on the back of the unable every you got is i could do that to get an is big like what is now? i'm not going to blame the queen. and now my spouse, any more, because we all put on new shots and countries levels have been pretty nice and they've actually done before. and still, i think be responsible for what we do right now. act of main to this once it will need that responsible for maybe all right, no, not degree. now, most of that is definitely food for thought. 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 book, homo 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. but this community, the monroe area, zoomed by re tens every so often to these groups in chill on the banks of kenya's, tennessee river. he belongs to the become a community. the grooves, once house, the pool home with the equipment got you drum, which was stolen by british colonial offices over 100 years ago. in the past, the eldest boot had been gotcha in a place like the city. it was a secret place in the forest in height, but not even small children could find their way here. the drum or gag was once we visit for comb with center of silver and power. it determined their way

of life. the without it, the groove is no longer a secret, and come with the governing council to reach manuel he belongs, has lost most of its authority. elda is like one where we have vivid memories of the colonial period. but they were too young to have set eyes on the drum themselves. after taking the engage you from the pl como it was shipped abroad and kept in storage in london's british museum. the book home was king michael rodney, i'm gonna go for the 7th and the elders in his kingdom. i will read the drum will never return. then guide is like on this i need imagine if i had the missed of westminster, the parliament in england. if i had the mis lang somewhere, and they musing it does that fort stewart, and what's the dispute?

was it to me 2nd you need yes to them. it's this isn't a drum on savages, but wait. it is a beautiful place, which is not always beautiful, but the task means it has some function. why should do denied an object? it's functions like for coma. many communities across the applicant, continental demanding for the return of london, comfortable feeling kenya's national museum. an exhibition is taking place in visible inventories is questioning the results of the objects at the us like visual for the sex presented like these empty boxes. because like when you go to a museum,

you don't expect to see them to cases. the missing objects include items such as mass shields, smoking times coons, great markets to drums, instruct lines on, you know, the invisible inventories program, recorded like 32000 missing object 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 they are, we decided to visualize every object as a shipping label. because for us, every object that left kenya was shipped outright. and honestly, we've covered on the walls, but this is only like 2000 the british museum has one of the largest collections in the world of cultural artifacts, given the breast of its colonial empire. while other former colonial powers have already begun the process of retaining looted as effects britain is still dragging

its to these, all these beautiful seeds laws against movement of objects. 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, it's, it's really going to be done on 6, which was to most like legal to take them right? macaroni homeless king. we simply got communication from the partition museum that they would like to talk a huge step forward from when he 1st lodge to the initial request. his community, which numbers are roughly 200000 live in one of the porous regions of kenya. many no longer here to the old traditions in question, the renaissance of the drum, to date, yet macaroni remained adamant about its importance. it is really a very important sent a photo of people. but in the museum, let's just say on a moment of objection. here it is bound to the life of all these people. who

did it the good. this is our property. if, if the benefit bid is tons to a single note bank for somebody, heidi is low for that community tends to be or less the king macaroni and really as in the opposed to when i return to the old days will not be obvious. 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 become a little ones 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. i can show you the may or feet out in syria, neil, 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 of sierra leon.

since 2018. the city is run by man, yvonne actually. so yeah. i grew up in a city that was green. i grew up in this city where like i said, i loved countries. i mean, i was doing that since i was as 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 leading the former presidents, if the recovery team. okay. so get into politics and one of the mayoral election in 2018 advocating for transform fee ton agenda. and business plans address waste management and aimed to restore suite tons 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 oh wait, $25.00. what ever she does, yvonne. okay. so yeah, what is the bolts of citizens of que town and her decision making this type of government has into a claim but locally and nationally solidifying, let us and impact the re to growth of the population diversity the lack of timing um you know, 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, pico floods management. the may i have prioritized screen such as the economy initiatives to address local challenges. then you plot the process is ways to get into common. this cooking briquettes offers an alternative to the widely use 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 that 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 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 the city the is a big congratulations to evo, and i can show you as a wrap up the show. it's clear that the pasta 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, so i'm from the one and only rocky. the only calls have never bowed down until next
