5:47 pm
say they are foreign companies and very often chinese or spanish if they are the two states that operate like that in west africa and they found out he did a company which is supposedly sending a lease they arrive with fifteen big industrial scale fishing vessels that supposedly be glowing to the company and so they fish freely. how do they escape the controls. when the ship comes to decca. but he seeks a senegalese pot not going to finish the senegalese cotton it becomes the fictitious president big. boom in order to deal with the public opinion and the regulation it's. the best of stamps and everything but it won't

5:49 pm
so by having a flag sometimes as far removed as mongolia when you're on your ship you are basically exempt from a lot of fishing rules because mongolia hasn't ratified certain treaties or as and is not member of certain fisheries management organizations so this way you avoid many rules and regulations to it's a clear new poll that needs to be addressed by the international community.
5:50 pm
the fishermen live day by day and what they earn isn't enough for them to make a living anymore. and that is why there are waves of migration towards spain with even if we get us all the list but to be also. before when fishing when good and it fed the people. fishermen had no need to leave for europe ever they had opportunities possibilities and they were not interested in migrating. to the root of europe as the one that organizes the flight of africans to europe organizes illegal migration to the e.u. had helped us out in combating illegal fishing all the young fisherman who are abandoning africa instead of going to europe would fish here for there would be a fish and they would make a profit. they would be able to feed their families but when they have nothing to
5:51 pm
eat when they left the protein when they have no money they will go where they can find to go to europe america canada. so if the e.u. wants our fish it should accept our children and its country so it can't be that it takes our fish are causing misery and then tells our children to stay in their country the main public health issue in the e.u. is obesity. in our countries the main public health issue is famines so this injustice is not sustainable either we live together in a fair and it gala tarion world or we share a world of terror because you would do if i could tell you how many are in the ocean and the sea bottom is full of pirogue with the dead bodies of our children young people who left in search of adventure.
5:52 pm
when i was a child i would come to see because i loved it a credit boom or could you do it as the son of a fisherman who is proud to go out to see. his dream is to become a captain one day up at the world. you know how little it got but i had no money to support my parents so i decided to take the perogue and emigrate. i didn't care about the danger or if i would live or die my dream was europe so that i could help my parents out. with me i took eighty seven people with me. who was on what we called one or more captain to help with the embarkation. but he was unlucky you know a wave overturned his ship. and nine people died in the sea of bora.
5:53 pm
never to million so he tried to save them. to the sea was cold and they all died around them but if we left without them. we said we're now all heading to spain you know but one male one family with the same dream brothers and sisters mr perot gets there we will be saved if it sinks we will die even those who know the sea well we must show solidarity of water starts getting into the pirogue we all take it out immediately we don't wait for the fisherman. legs to be a god given day after two days at sea and if someone fell ill never know what i left in the water and then he wouldn't eat or drink he was vomiting we forced him to eat and drink but he kept on vomiting we don't know what. about it throughout he
5:54 pm
died on the third day of the journey that he would get we through his body to see because he started to decompose. never operated when we when we threw his body into the sea. we all prayed to god that he would go to heaven mary i'm in your home going to know many were crying and saying we're all going to die. when there was an image on the fourth day big waves broke the battle of the going to be a big go it was from about good but. not about them but at that moment everyone was out of control quite good no matter how many because those people who had more experience know how dangerous it is. a middle going to get out will have a god who was about but on the lookout i'm think i'm evidence more of one of the eldest of a soul a very experienced fisherman and he told us not to fear about the pira going to give good advice just to take
5:55 pm
a rope. and use it to tie the broken pieces about you because you could be made to look in the book in the book because. we did i thought you and we used our bags to close the hole that really don't want. to look at some lay down and sealed the hole with their backs so that water wouldn't get into the pirogue what on our journey was one of the hottest ever made.
5:56 pm

5:58 pm
yes and taking care of them who is the major supporter of these groups i mean they have to get money and arms and training from somewhere and the country that's been named so far in this program is saudi. what is their role in all this i think it's a little bit. this is the position of i don't see flies with saudi arabia for its own reasons with america. always in the. position because this government is preferring to try to broker. the future with those groups. it's quite clear. especially what you're arguing for is that kurds should ask make identity that
5:59 pm
national identity let me ask a question to the kurds first or an iraq first i am a kurd first then i am iraqi i am not iraqi kurds because let me ask you that question from. the you know i still remember the smell of the chemical weapons so what iraqi identity brought. to me the killing so people grace four thousand five hundred villages were destroyed.
