so even today the food must first be balt then loaded on a ship in american harbor and then travel for several months in order to reach africa. that would be approximately four to six months from when it has been termed that we want to participate in in a particular appeal and so when the food arrives. the g.a.o. where mr leto works issued a report which presented the problem to congress president bush tried to change the system so that a portion of the food would be procured from local markets and arrive. and cost less. they failed and they failed because of the lobbying efforts the highly successful and very sophisticated lobbying efforts of those who benefit from the status quo and use food aid programs from the american taxpayers' money only forty

percent goes for the purchase of food aid for the starving people in africa the remaining sixty percent goes to the shipping companies. that i mean yes yet it was a good idea yes i. was . very happy that i was. like you i don't like depending on others with the work. all that much and all of them other than i but our land doesn't produce any saying and deprives us of sued.

or did a month ago we sowed some wheat but it was aired in the sun on holland i mean i missed and the problem. was that i met alan and we appreciate that other countries take care of us that are going to go the government of kenya. knows that drought causes problems but it ignores us. we could sustain ourselves and the government could build a water tank. and an irrigation system to water as fields. but. it was one with people who like to work. it's emitted. rather than receiving food for which we have not worked yet.

it is a good work but we don't like to be idle. they could help us by giving us work. imo because for example we have no fields as a mother the mother when we proposed to our government to construct good water supply lines for our crops it's like talking to defeat is. we have appealed to the government many times. the government of kenya has utterly abandoned this district there are no roads water or electricity the state of kenya has built absolutely nothing. so it is true that part of the country. has been on continuous famine relief because that is a bitter bitter development. because all. we all bad we have

some deep to to you know eighty ninety percent of the people not going out to the night so it is a mentor strategy for the country. we hoping that with a new constitution would up with will develop and those who come up short of my generation people and those kind of communities have the country. it is obvious that the government of kenya prefers to ask for help from abroad in order to feed the starving turkana instead of doing infrastructure and development work in the area. millions of kenyan from us producing grain. and a must it becomes difficult for every request once the scheme of ten percent to go moving from village to village asking that i need ten percent of the grain for myself but if it's food aid you can put it tonnes of the same it to becomes easier

for you to skim off from that the food if it's not about food aid it will be about import food importation so it becomes easier to make more money in putting food. at the expense of the cause of the starving people as opposed to having kids producing more food for themselves. however before nine hundred eighty kenya not only produced but also exported products. the government had pulled these cause guaranteed minimum returns g.m. are weak means that. if you. invest in one because. and they needed it's not enough to recover you a cost the government would top up so that you don't go at

a loss because if you do if you go at a loss you will not. plan to the next season and the country would stuff and that is why in the one thousand sixty is the name hundred seventy s. when there was among. was net food exporting countries. despite all this kenya was immersed in debt which couldn't be paid without international help. it's just a clear lustration no a country that east coast by global forces to surrender policy making that to be of strategic importance to its own citizens why was kinda so enduring because they need aid from the world bank because they need aid from the i.m.f.

there were told if you don't change you don't get money from us. so everything including education health communication transportation energy and water follows the free markets rules. agriculture was no exception governmental support was withdrawn and farmers were now on their own. after structural adjustment the subsidies that you are buying me into fertilizer into seeds and the entire a good catch will extension services were removed and this is a cinch and services now have to be paid and because people do not have the money to pay the never consulted extension workers so the food production just slumped and as near talking now it is a basket case we are

a net food importing country. so what happens you don't have enough to feed the people so you have to a they import and if you don't have enough money to import you get food aid. behind nairobi skyscrapers in the shadows of the kenyan capitals luxuries lies kibera. it is one of africa's largest slums.

approximately three hundred thousand people try to survive here. many of them are immigrants from rural regions who came to the city to escape hunger. i was a siren or but i didn't always has a crop. i needed money to feed the cows but i had none. when i had a good crop i needed money again. to pay the workers to plow the fields i couldn't live like this it was all too much for one person i couldn't cope with the expenses. cheery it is better because someone may pity and help here. without a welfare system the citizens of kabera must pay for everything even public toilets

since houses don't have these luxuries. the average computer is to roughly two dollars that is a most cobbled one and you have to pay for your room you have to buy a water you have to pay for the toilet to go to you have to pay full electricity you have to pay for school fees you have to buy food you have to buy food with the food and yes. there's no legal issue it's free market. we have so maybe many people can't afford to be really food because the body. moved everything to each. wall. for decades now the world food program organization has been providing food to the

pupils in canberra schools. i have to school three hundred children receive aid. some of these children sometimes it's the only mean if they did that they get so they going to school move so they have bad flu tell me i mean addition it provides an incentive for children to come to school. i only skimmed the maybe i could just grow up fast. and maybe help my funding. the things that seriously is if my mom moved dad would come at school kids would do over to do the street hungry but. the dutch e.t.f. did bill much more than who eats i begged him to bring so my good seeds helped assume much. you claim to have been given to foods

in that i'm. just. i just got to say on that but i won't let someone know that i'm on a lot of existing almost made films i want to show and i just keeping. them so that even then they may just see that you fancy stuff love love and she is being put as john she has a good. was. that it. was. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm charged markham's a big picture. admission

a chevy cause of the future so nobody wanted to make friends with me it chased me spat on me and threw stones. is still my dream was to have parents. mom and dad. there aren't many people ready to take kids like us. they found a new kind of medicine they call it slow. learner learned that you could please don't follow my example you know it can be dangerous for your health. care seals are born to write on the ice fields of the white sea. throughout the twentieth century the pumps were hunted for their snow white furs. russia imposed a ban on this trade and hunters have since been replaced by tourists but these pups stay safe forever. saving seals on our teeth.

act. that it. was. food is so many things. i lay some pot. it is a saturday issue. it is an economic issue is about rural development it is so many things and therefore as long as you would dependent as known as you do not have some print in the means and the infrastructure using and distributing food. then. you cannot claim to be so free and cannot claim to be independent sixty percent of. out of balaam in africa this country better. and and that tells

you that all we need is to then invest this pumps but again because of the dependency culture what we are seeing is that the political elites have been selling and listen this lands to for us. we are not investing in farming as part of us to take security element for the country. the american company dominion among other things builds prisons in the united states in kenya it is rented seventeen thousand hectors and produces food like rice

dish and bananas mostly for the capital's big supermarkets this farm. is an investment bank american man called mr cullen by this and his family they had some money but they thought should be put towards helping in food security in africa so he came here in the two thousand and three and the least this farm for twenty five years and number twenty five vs the renewable. we thank you both so much what you would like. the american investor introduced himself through the church claiming that he wanted to help eradicate poverty by offering new jobs and food. i. want to. thank you. for your bussy the new dominion came here through the church. because it couldn't

get in contact with us it used the priests. to do it promised to give us work so that no one would be unemployed. there would be great changes it would build schools and it gave us part of its harvest look at that we've. got there would be food for everyone it was for us was the biggest joy. so these multinational companies we thought to be coming to transform a lack. and we really celebrated at the time the medals coming. this thing timed out to be something. one. of. the communities agreed the company would take the swamp and transform it into fertile fields while simultaneously undertaking projects for the public's benefit.

drainage works began and a cement dam was built in order to control the river gelis flow for the irrigation of the water letting rice crops. but as the inhabitants claim this intervention caused floods. much the. the water came during the day and got inside our home. the corn's one. and so they got completely ruined world and. the house started leaning. and so we demolished and rebuilt us and you.

all when i walked my whole body was underwater i know only this pot stayed above the water level. carried away by the water and we just did what can you do with a cal which you can't feed because the water has covered it completely willing to put as many animals drowned everything i had was taken by the water. which is killing people killing. people and. it is very visible who. we are not the course but what happened see is when when people start to think

politically when the river floods they think we have opened the gates and sometimes they come to us when we are not doing we're not even using we're not even in growing rice so there's a season when people came in and say we have floods down there they don't understand that the source of the river was flooded so the river would be flooding here so then they think it was a problem to do with us we have nothing to do with it we were just doing our things . i was cultivating inside here i was getting my vegetables from here i was getting my income in fact i was cultivating underselling yeah i had some sugar cans here some yams groups under so many things going on ian's under the models i was selling

those and maybe if not very bad i was an almost a getting one thousand a day. to manage my family and now i've got nothing. close to our own food no we can't have the money to pay school fees for the children because of these not this we can't plan the cause you planned here today what are. those who are going to work you know. that time was a rich man and that's why i left. looking for jobs in a row be to come here and create an employment for myself and have a decent life like. you could face up to twenty five bags of maize and one day. i'm back when all is not lost you can hardly get a bag of maize saw or demand newness to get to the back bays and yet now. more

poorer than we used to be because what we're experiencing now. as never before. give the communities one to use part of the this one this one is about six hundred thousand acres it does not belong to us we only have seventeen thousand take us why do we have communities always complaining about the post on that was given to the investor. yesterday why don't they also go on a drain of a pot that is flying back. with our government is sitting in the office as an arrow b. as in the american people help they do this to their. grads coming from outside the nation all over every time they need food. but we have found by as well very very hard work so we are not being taken as human beings in fact

i hate to say this but we have still in colonial days. i think it's a phenomenon we have to strive to. make us you know after the minerals. in the middle. so excess ministry's. is easy. and therefore we have to run promptly with it. in the next three years if the trend continues i think the kenyan community will really make appearance for more readily food depending on. nationals is more intriguing sustainable for these countries.

today is a joyous day in this community of the turkana region. the people are harvesting their crops from the communal field. but their own hands they also build a smaller earth and dam. for this project to happen the world food program n.g.o.s and the government have to cooperate and all for the turkana food provided that they work on the project.

told some of the rainwater and help the turkana gather water for the next drought. when our screens are again flooded by images of starting out for cans and the international community asks again for humanitarian aid then we will know that the drought is not the real culprit. in my view is seed drought just an excuse that we use in order to you know make the aid in the street appear to be fair to chile the horn of africa receives more rain than soda rabia than even the drought but you know tides the saudis their own money is pleading for food aid. to the problem really about funding now for is no it's about drugs it's about how we are monitoring politics.

so to to help with the african pulse. we need. stop just delivering a few bugs of grain to the people we see starving we need to type in tell getting the global food system and how it's been truly makes individual africans in the rural villages end up having no food at all.

they all told me my language at all but i will only react to situations i have read the reports so unlike the players i know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your letter play like a monthly save lives and it'll secure a car is on the docket. no more weasel words when you need a direct question prepared for a chase when you have to punch be ready for

a bad little freedom of speech and a little bit on the freedom to cost. a little. little. bit. and. little live. live

. and.

i'm not a. turkish protesters showed the door to the prime minister over there crying down by please leave on a leash he had got up a spray and bostons on unarmed civilians. satis as had resumed on moscow's metro after a short circuit and a blaze paralyzed traffic in the capital for hours and that's at least six to six people injured. i think before tweets especially if you're in britain where police are throwing people behind bars for crossing the line with us social media parts.
