crises was, every single connection mapped out shows the geophysical reality, the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, this is dw news advocate. welcome to our special program where we take a look back at some of our highlights all the year. across the continental correspondence have been chasing the stories that move people's lives. on patrol with the canyon, police tasked way of supporting security efforts and hating. what are the challenges in facing down gang violence in the caribbean nations capital taking a look at africa and natural resources like 10 times to them and tungsten, crucial for the world. but at what cost?

in countries like the, the r c and sedan, the wall has been a daily tragedy for millions of people. the survivors facing the added threat of starvation or even sexual violence. but there's still a lot to celebrate. the doctors would treat those who cannot pay for health care on test, striking up new ribbons after decades of playing music. the i'm told me already, but welcome to the program. will begin deed of the news, africa outside the continent. back in october, we heard from the kenyan police was struggling against the odds to help haiti since 2021. the caribbean nation has been in golf by gang violence. that's left to

thousands dead in june this year. can you send its officers in to leave the un back security force in the capital portal pulse. but a shortage of funds and troops has left the un to now consider haiti's request to transform the operation into a fully fledged peacekeeping mission. even so the existing force has made some gains despite the great risks of correspondent mario miller got exclusive access to see them at work in the hazel capital. we're about to go on patrol with a kenyan police. he and for the prince with games control, a large part of the city of opinions on here to support the haitian police and securing the city after crossing to buzzing street one of life just beyond the supreme court. everything changes before this, please was not visible. no one called up cross. we are. we are right now. we were entering a wasteland. this part of the city is deserted. the un says more than 700000 people

have been displaced. they fled when the gang started spreading, tara burning don't houses, killing indiscriminately raping women and girls. these barricades, the gangs erect to keep the police out of the territory. often they use shipping containers stolen from the food part of the canyons. job is to remove them by pushing them with the vehicle. so you're going to push them right now so that you can see what you're trying to do. if you meet us before we reach the barricade, we see people running those sorts of videos that they started running, always because they knew us, we thought maybe didn't anytime something hits the hatchet, beth is the smell of petrol and goes off. as it can see, learning or learning petro silver thing inside the time of

the year and so they could fill the burning motor. tough just missing is our company to target the rest of the convoy shooting from abandoned buildings, the canyon forces and the 2nd vehicle fire by and meanwhile, amanda is getting information from his throne operator on the new by the very big. oh yeah. yeah. he ones, they're preparing to, to move petrol. and this is actually the started positioning you them to be going thing as a long this one be going up if i really doesn't above it. so that when you go just below the building, the for the foot on us under the button, please, what like us. i know if i want me not long ago,

google was inside this vehicle when it was a taxed instead of like the base gate on homes. if we go there, they might, but not the right to know. so going there. if it needs that auto for landing as well, now we cannot go back there. on the other side of the barricades, we see people running like a gang members. we have to move quickly and another not to settle warning left by the gangs. human skulls. this goes, i usually elected the bay. i know that to, to me data like like sending a message. it doesn't make an attempt of coming through the sit. yeah. yeah. but then you cannot be intimidated by such stuff. you have seen was being some of those . we arrive at the seaport, a crucial lifeline for haiti, bringing goods medicine and food into the country. it was one of the 1st locations, the canyon secured after their arrival. but when i went to film across the bay,

it becomes clear, secured, but not fully safe across the bay is where we can control the territory and they sometimes just a few days ago. 1 they shot at the worker here on the side, so it's still highly dangerous to be here. but i didn't know what to do, but then you have to keep one person more. we've got to leave that done, to going through that. but then the problem is that he seems to do they need need to have some things. i mean it's, we need to, to, to have people supporting us. we need the more equipment. so that's going to be able to push on and on for me to another. part of the, the president of the democratic republic of congo, spoke to d, w in april and criticized apple. the tech jobs for using so called blood minerals from his country for the manufacturing of its products,

present felix cheese acadia, also a cute, neighboring rolanda. are facilitating the illegal export of these minerals. we hear from him in an interview with dw, after this report. the d i see, went on, says from apple over with sources the mineral components for its devices and electro to apple lawyer query the use of so called 3 team and a rolls 10 to lumpkin at tungsten minerals. logic found in easton, b, or c, a volatile region with ripple groups. profiting of autism though mining the dfcs claim is that minerals smuggled from its territory to run to where they are loaded and sold. tobias like apples from around the world. the see government is report to p, looking into all the 2 options for its pod. apple denies the accusations, the company said it has found no reasonable basis to conclude that any of the 3 team, minerals, and its supply chain financed a benefit to groups in the region,

minerals from the d. c, a critical to producing the world smart phones and many of the electronic devices. in fact, it is the main source for natural resources needed for global technological advancement . the diaz sees many road which great lakes region has been played by violence since the 1990s. tensions reemerged in late 2020. when. when the rebels known as m. 23 began recapturing slaves of the territory, the se, the un and western countries accuse window supporting rebel groups including m 23 and a bid to control the region spice, mineral resources. glenda denies these allegations of the president of the d r. c for the extra security was in berlin and smoke exclusively to dw about why his country is threatening legal action against apple. a say, mean of

a is the most serious thing, is that these minerals are extracted from the congolese subsoil at the price of blood on the, as i said by using filings and tara for you to make the populations living in these localities. fleet l street, it's on possible at the bottom then that transported a long trail was fine motorcycles to relent. but one the, a lot, and the, the stumped by an international n g a. we quote all that which obviously itself, segments the fact that the blood minerals pauses them off as if they were minimal, its mind in valenda passing when they passive onto them, you know, explain one on the pano mean that they take home interest that processed elsewhere . and then they come and sell us the finished product. we're going to develop in. no, ma'am, we want to develop our own value chain in the drive. our sales, who's really low as far as possible as it can extend l street

a. sit down the path to now. yeah. and then in what i quote those when, when partnership stuff goes out. so i think we'll be able to find poverty while ridiculous by creating jobs down the wrong found. raising wealth on them and at the same time have partners will also benefit from this partnership. so it will then i'll say about the value by example. so apple will negotiate directly with the see that's going to be the democratic people, of course, with the democratic republic of congo. again, why would you want to negotiate with a common c for who's doing business on the backs of debt congolese, you saw your telephone to have in your countries contained a lot of the concrete. just got a phone call was as easy and i will be content another song big one more day. and it's not just in the d r. c. nigeria has huge mineral deposits of key elements like 10. but it also faces the challenge of the unregulated extraction of minerals

. the sector is also widely known to employ children who often work in hazardous conditions. dw studio lagos got exclusive on access to autism. all mining operations in jobs in northern nigeria corresponded okay. oh mary filed this report number that you'd be brought to this used to be formula, but no, it looks like it. most of the workers tear up the soil and looking for it's just beneath the surface at this on regulated mark. we're here with the permission of the site allows us to fill them in this direction, but not what's behind us. what we can show you is a stream polluted by mining waste, the minus dig with shovels and the bad hands risk in cuts and falls. many of the children spend hours on the hot some,

some tell us that the take drugs to get through the day. the bus keeps it close. i as the comment, our rules to we're here to get and we take to the buyers watch gathering my boss um as well as yeah, after we collect the money my fault, i guess my share, i mean i take some home to buy food, idaho, and i'll even keep the rest for myself. i don't know in the morning i come back here to work. one behind me is a dangerous reality. and that's up on regulated mining in northern nigeria where we have minors as youngest, 15 years of age, who are risking their health to make some money. so the kids make around 10 euros. fuck, you know, a deep it's a good wage, but it's a legal for them to be working. there's no government oversight on child labor or

official data on accidents eligible and regulated mines. what recent debts of mining sites around the country have brought the dangers to national attention. in nigeria, poverty is the major factor that pushes many to take the risk of working in these mines. this year we have reported a fab bit on the conflict in sit down with the violence continues to rage on the you and to monitor in chief the recently spoke of shame at the wells failure to protect people since the war broke out in april last year, that's when the fighting broke out between the sudanese army and the rapid support forces are assessed for control of the country. and that's come at the cost of tens of thousands of lives. with more than 11000000 people displaced and 26000000 facing mass starvation. the 2 warring parties of acute each other of using hunger as

a weapon of the rate because also been a major feature in this war. in june, we spoke to primula passing the united nation special representative on sexual violence in conflict about her efforts to hold the warring parties to account of what seems to start with the conflict. in april 2023, i gave you both bodies as the f and r is that on the 1st of august of 2023, i had a meeting. we've general abdur rahim de got the deputy commander of the of the recess and i raise, we've seen all these. we both reports that are had at the time, reports of sexual violence in khartoum and docile reports of increasing the number of abducted women and goes, reports of, of the target to the medical infrastructure and personal giving support to victims of sexual violence. and also who would probably do something about the existence of slave markets in industrial. we women and goes being sold, including into sexual slavery or helpful ransom. and i urge team to issue the full

no undertaking of the full amount. so you need actual community condemning sexual violence and committing to effective measures to prevent of the address such violations, including fluid time bound into my dish, and blog as well as combined order as a degree as your daughter when's with sexual buttons as part of upholding military disappearing, he acknowledged, i must say the gravity of sexual bought into the context of conflict. he agreed to issue both so you need to communicate. and the command order is declaring 0 daughter ends with sexual guidance and you do so after. so shortly after, after the meeting, but unfortunately, i must say that up to now i do not see any discernible behavioral change on the ground because we both continue to believe about atrocities being perpetrated by our assess. and it's affiliated people in the full hasn't and do it. the worst mass

like has reported so far, especially the residents of alga naina, the capitol of west off or where are a stuff, militias of indiscriminately attacked men, women and children. many survivors fled to neighboring chad was 600000 sued. and these people and now living in refugee camps. it's holly is 9 years old. she had a childhood with no worries until last november. that's when sedans, rapids support forces came to his hometown is jeanina and attacked you still can speak about what happened that the a bit of the big shot from all 4 sides, like via there were many r as a fighters. we have them all. i don't know which side the bullet came from the guy . we only found him shouts and the better for us. you know, how little was charging the leg and needed to medical care quickly. was the family

flat to chat with doctors um, protected his legs before this attack the iris, us and allied are up munitions to control of a nearby. so denise me, base then they went over to do in honey as hometown system medicaid, looking for members of african ethnic groups. and my son, the community, the rep girls and people are nice, executed boys and men. they left bodies on the streets to watch holly, it's by the very 28 people that day, including his nephew there on a roger. the man had shocked him in the head and his wife in the stomach, the pretty but i found them inside the house. and again, i do a bit. the united nation says the iris f and f allies today, and it was an estimated 15000 people. an estimate came motivated mass because in the for in the cam honey, its parents are happy to watch the sun grow up and safety and its filling them with

hope for the future. when my son rose up, i hope you have a business. i imagine many things for him and working at the most and having children to yeah, i just want my son to be happy in his life. i have never right now is before he was happiest when playing football with his friends. this guy is of the full that remain the on stopping him from doing what he loves, the extent to come around. now with for years dr. george butler has been commuting to remote villages of the weekend, providing critical health care, free of charge to pull communities. the w's blaze a on accompanied him and his team of volunteers, and a 2 day trip from the capital, young day to local, near cumberlands border with nigeria,

and just the warning. the next report contains sensitive images of medical procedures and every judge where they may have given united the source or just walk in the only central hospital. we have a suspicion of like here named a school here. ok, a group of young people on the summary sides of the mix create the team, will leave you only ever. we can set up a demo by hospital in the village during the said to this of treatment, we receive all the population of the, the on the privilege people of the few days. i'm give them free health services

bodies when the surgery. so we're still waiting, patient is coming all over the villages on the you know, if any of the way you do the 200, you have another 120121222190. and then the vision going to miss this because some of them are in there from now, from you on the done. i'm on the program. my photos you for 3 years. you're also having them in broad, broad decide to the bread. the only one you're suggesting, but i mean wasn't even to meet him. so we were like 2 or 300 people waiting for that in your surgeon. i mean that to me, when you bridget, i know you're in this of the doctor when you've got to be a specialist. i'm thinking of the people who don't have to meet the special just the way we create it. best for him not to stay in the hospital which envision but

a good deal they, they, they, they, they are kind of places to miss the patients on the places and to trade them there in the area with the people that they want to go to the hospital, maybe they'll have money to buy them as it gets to come in. they will see the for the, for the wrong with that either. so the main thing you will see is that you will see the end of this, but you will see that in last speech, this is the online, i mean the hospital. so 3 my know model of 04 at 4 pm. i'm a teacher going to the university teach to then do 7, and then at 7 doing my private clinic, this private clinic, i'm finished and they meet at midnight. but this private clinic are very important because this is the main source of the they work on finance,

odd eskoville activities because we don't have at the maintenance support. we have, once i knew support, but not the municipal i'm the man who knows that this is what god asked me to do. and this is what i'm doing. i'm so happy. finally, a form of music forge by demand migrants to germany, around half a century ago. that's grown into a thriving and influential cultural scene. mixing these on rows of jazz, funk, craig, a sole and acro beat bugger, highlight offers a lively blend of ideas and sounds. and in the summer, i went to meet a new super group here in berlin. that's at the heart of this ever revolving musical movement. the, the living, the high life in berlin style

the multiple generations of performers coming together in celebration of the west african countries culture and music. and we've been lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the distinctive command sound at the bands rehearsal studio. hot thomas is one of the most well known faces of the high life scene. i'll put another way, he's like a man high life legend. i suppose to be the original. because of the eclipse that i use, everything, jazz, the phone. and the other thing this general music originated in coastal gonna, in the late 19th century,

was brought to germany in the 19 seventy's and eighty's by musicians leading political instability and the country's military regime. and now with access to new music and the latest instruments, the let the creative juices flow and that sound evolution soon got a new name. the highlight style of music associated with the many migrants who would travel between gonna and gemini with a match uh at the heart of a so called bug, a movement, a not to the gym and would for citizen, the thing a charles, a more i found that putting a band together wasn't always easy, it was the tires where it was something new to them. so i'm trying

to get it was, was a product. so i kept thinking and was wondering how, how does that work? but over the years, but the high life only became more popular with this experimental cross border approach seeing is playing upon and be able to use in of african music. today the music went from one border to together. and then when they were, they came back and changed. and this is how we ended up with these today. so what my things, we try to stay original, but we also made these sites and then use today's tools to make it solid. multicast, i would say the band is now preparing to play gigs here in germany and elsewhere in europe, hoping to delight fans, old and new with a modern twist on the plastic bulk of highlights blend of sounds.
