development and getting to resists, i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk ah, the the green situation in it's impaired on the african continent is the direct consequence of the warp in cream, which is an imperialist tool. which is a war against russian people and thrash instinct by our traditional enemies western imperialism. she, i'm just calling upon the west if make would lift this sanction. so that, of course, this price is going to go down and the low cost of living can be experience in the country. and we all can be comfortable and happy as i can from my understanding with people's free. but also we talking about

almost the feeling me i've been in this future, of course we in africa are one with the russian people. historically direction people have never colonized us. the bread basket of africa is empty. wheat and grain are lying in wait millions of miles away from starving mouth. russia is doing its best to feed africa at western functions, moscow have emptied the supply lines and are contributing to the biggest genocide in recent history. themes, other victims. hello and welcome to this week's african now shows. this week you find us in the faithful republic of somalia, in the horn of africa, were coming to you from the capital city, mogadishu. in the next few weeks, by the end of may,

as many as 8000000 people in somalia will die from starvation. almost 3 times that number, some 21000000 people will die across eastern africa. the causes been drought, climate change conflict with the else about terrace group, and the impact of the russia ukraine conflict. and that's what we're focusing on in this week show a year on how has what many here called the russian nato conflict, exacerbated the dies situation on the ground who was to blame and what is being done to remedy the situation. in somalia, 90 percent of the countries we it comes from russia and ukraine, but these supplies are no longer coming. i visited a cam for internally displaced people. i'm here on the outskirts are b, capital city of somalia, mogadishu ad and internally displaced camp. there are little tens of thousands of people here many who come from all different parts of the country. now all the

people started coming here years ago, really because of draw to because of famine because of conflict in the areas. but the situation has deteriorated. a lot sense of the wheat and grain crisis began a year ago falling the russia ukraine conflict. not all around us is security. they've told us we don't have more than a few minutes here. and as one of them explained to me that was in seconds of our surviving one of the people here was on his cell phone was warning. al chabad sympathizes all militants themselves are in for me here. and they will be on the way here to watch with attack us. so we have it with, with, as we hear from literally, just a few moments. the situation here is dying. indeed, i've seen children walking around with no shoes. that's common place. you have anything as a food and, and asking about the, the conditions in which people are living in these plastic made. i mean,

i've never seen a dime. it's extremely dry. it's extremely hot. this is one of the worst famines i'm cooking. the was family members of africa has a faith in the history, and that's why it's been called the latest genocide ever. and this is the country that traditionally has group. we to grain a because of climate change because all will get in global politics. and because of the fact that they've been 6 seasons without rain food, we have a situation now the brain can hear the country is relying and has been relying on the reach and grain that it gets from russia, ukraine, and those supplies for the bit of part b, yeah, have completely dried up, so you're looking at a famine that is going to kill millions of people here. russian president vladimir putin is well aware of the situation and has now to increase the export of wheat and grain, no problem. so it was them not to put in near flu shift,

but roast the most noise. he can either choose for this customer in the hordes of controlling, issued juvenile misquote. machine of this, the belief illustration for mutually mean usually. but what i took her in the middle, you're from, look at us, go him mushroom kind of we thing it was. mean you. if i chose to put good incredibly with mom wrong, these are a little harder to support them. we guarantee you room. mm hm. you have any part would be 2nd. someone put a store at the who will shoot it to to rebuild, which some when somebody show them stuff, not to the stomach, fill of the boat to get bulky skim coating action blended. nobody knows. they might some 2 bills. and recently russia agreed to renew the black sea initiative for another 60 days,

during which green exports can leave via the black sea. it follows previous agreements aimed at improving the humanitarian crisis on the ground. i spoke to somali political and economic analyst. there were 2 agreements fairly assignable in july 2022 really under the grid. the 1st agreement was memorandum of understanding really, between the russian federation on the united nation. russia was required to facilitate really, it is at food and, and apply the export really to the global market. and the 2nd agreement was really what we call a black sea green initiative, really. and that the agreement was joined till a sign a trailer by fire, russia for the ration you gray in on turkey unwholesome brokerage on wouldn't necessarily by the united nation. so that agreement, it's a real, a rush to make sure that trailer staff x about of, of grain, unfair fly, that is from the brain part trailer to the outside market. so we know that i'll

soon i was really a russia and ukraine conflict is target really? absolutely. absolutely. that he felt was the food christ, his family. so it's, so we know that regular food crises, happy skyrocketed sort of drop in the, on it as it has real effect of really poor counted his family one the after russia invented ukraine, depending for malia is still feeling a factor of letting part of the router and the long running original draught put millions of the tricycle starvation, the russia ukraine war has good to that full security as somalia has greatly been dependent on impulse from russia and ukraine, that apart from great reduction of the width supply in market for must bear the brunt of the sections imposed on russia with increased for the prizes. since farmers use water upon machines to get their crops or so mileage of their prisoners or was 6 successive fail rainy season. ali also was at russia. ukraine debacle. has

heavily dent at 8 grand the wharton country used to receive from international donors of the focus on interest has now shifted to ukraine. so malia has been a longstanding recipient of funding from the international community on the organizations. but when other crisis come about in the world and international bodies become spread thin and sometimes fixated on one issue or another. people have even questioned the colossal amount of money being spent by international donors in buying heavy as he loved many african pundits say, the biggest instigator behind the crisis is the united states. i reported in south africa natal with a former member of the south african national assembly, simpler tom, i thank here for your time. maybe if you can just start by telling us what you make of the weeds and grain crisis that has the fuel prices and those poverty tables that we're seeing within the african continent. basically,

the grain situation in its impact on the african continent is the direct consequence of the war in ukraine, which is an imperialist war, which is a war against russian people and thrashing state by our traditional enemies western imperialism. so we are suffering into african quincy continent as a consequence of that rule in, of course, it also has an impact on the russian economy as well. all the progressive people with russia, africa suffering as a quince, quince of diesel, which is a provocation by imperialism in terms of tutorial integrity of the russian people. so the war must be stopped. the western power must get out of russia must get out of ukraine. and you can, people end the russian people, one people end of month resolve this whole thing to dialogue. do they agree with the fact that the sanctions imposed upon russia by the we have actually added in

fact caused this, we to gain crisis? absolutely. the tech on the russian economy as part of supposedly supporting new team transgressions. again, rushing to rhetoric that integrity part of the so this is a deliberate cation of the western world. i gave the russian people, and as a consequence, we in africa suffer. of course we in africa are one with the russian people. historically, the russian people have never colonised us. the russian people who stood with us against update the armed us, they give us arms to be able to fight for liberation. they give us sent you. i did one deal, but i did. government was persecuting some of us and gave us even military training . so the african continent and russia are one. it is not just south africa, and i share supported many other african countries,

india fight against colonialism against the same western aggress us. what to date, directly of taking of us you. that is why the african continent and i'm very pleased about that. we are very clear that to stand with russia, and of course now the whole world is suffering as a consequence of the soil. europe itself is in trouble in terms of its electricity situation. because of this war, the war must be stopped and russia must be left to run its country without interference from the west. and maybe just for clarity, are you saying that if it wasn't for these sanctions who would not be seen or even experiencing these blockade of exports from russia? and these other cases is m. it is a direct consequence of the war. and this war is in, and now i've creation by the western world. and now we are all suffering in terms of economies because i economy,

se interlinked. what happens to russia as consequences for what have been in the way in the world. and we know that our relationship with russia, in terms of this quality of grades and so on, it's, it's, it's critical to the sustaining of the african continent. so the war has, is directly responsible for the crisis. we should, the world is experiencing, not just in the african continent leaving europe suffering as a consequence of this war. and just on that, a lot of people say that the forces that have been provided by the waste to ukraine could have been used to better solve the problem is that the african continent is facing, especially in many parts of the african continent. we, poetry and hunger is really doing the most. yes, it is the total em misuse of resources. by the way, these resources could solve off the problems of the world. but you see they want to

subdue russia. they need to defeat russia because russia, together with the greeks process, is the block to be against western imperialism. and russia is the leading force in that arrangement. so if they defeat russia, then they will look and we can to hold a non western world. and we are part of the peaks process as part of our claim to national so very need to real liberation for our people's own democracies. we shall not influenced by western imperialism. so the west is have taken russia precisely to decide, typically this new force which goes against russia, russia up an india, china, south africa to get our, we close to the majority of the population of the world already. and in terms of could mean fast as he couldn't go, going, going to means and the west is not here with that. and right here,

the leading force in the bricks process, it is being uptick, and maybe just out of curiosity. what does the new development of russia agreeing to extend the blacks the green deal for the next 60 days mean for the african continent. shawnee that should be seen as a positive, right? especially considering the impact that this has had on the african continent. that is a positive development and i hear you really doing positive things and the very difficult war situation, the russian economies and the fear of a tech and the russian economy needs all the resources entirely for its own sustenance. but even now, we see that extending the hand of sort of data to the african continent, and that is how russia has always related to the african continent. we are still grateful today for the russian support for our fight against a part of the drive in south africa. so the, you know,

external diplomatic polish of russia. one which is progressive, which is what we support. now, just before we need to go from an african in africa and seeing these things before you eyes, what do you think the solution is? yes, this war against the russian people is a highly wasteful, a war. these resources which the west is using to subsidize this and just all in fact, to legitimately belong to the african people. and the other under developed a countries the west is always saying that it does not have enough resources to support the development of the western. i mean, none western countries in the african continent, but they have all this money to fight the russian people in an illegitimate war which is totally unjustified. we are calling for the west to stop the war against russia and to re direct to those resources which are totally misused in good

development into the development of the african continent in particular here in somalia. the food crisis is being managed by the somali disaster management agency sodden. i met with mohammed merlin, it's policy and partnership advisor. it has been it has been a point of it and i don't really want to going to direct into european countries and, and the aid they provide drink. but one thing, it certainly did. misty, diverted the attention of oral countries. and that meant a lot of the suffering that had been happening was not on the radar of the major donor contributors. so just the

under united states. so i would not necessarily say that yes ukraine happened than everyone else was left out. but what i would say is that it diverted the, the necessary attention away strong people like ours in, in the region of certain. and we still don't understand why ah, that we see other media and she is given to other mitchell concerts. and i understand there are other major conflicts that are people suffering, but also we're talking about almost 30 mean people have been effective in this future by the drugs on. if this know any immediate attention given to that, the situation might be, you agree with that? personally, i think the media attention wasn't given to the spot. the world is simply because

of the same reasons ukrainian either act is conflicts plaza. and also i think that there has been a lot of what we call donor fatigue, which is the traditional governors as well. i've been experiencing their own economic issues. i'm therefore, i think their donations in these or cut washer is the world's leading exposure of nitrogen, the 2nd of potassium and the 3rd of phosphorus fertilizer. so when exports a halted price escalade and those prices will ready high before the war. we visit to south to hit areas. china is among the many countries that have been hit by the weird and grand prices. most of the weird consume him is imported from russia and with the global sanctions. i play this as the left. most canyons feeling bellagio

of hunger. we speak to our brain by the train, expert and unrepentant for some on says, my name is happiness with our and of course, as we all know at the moment to experience the global functions, that's preventing the imposition of wheat into the country. he realized this course of inflation in the we to products we to come on cutting. they become expensive and now we're facing. honda is a country, this is a situation that many kenyans are going to that he's are fixing by no more likelihood of the common one actually. so i'm just calling up on the west if they could lift the sanction. so that of course, this prices can go down and the low cost of living can be experience in the country . and we all can be comfortable and happy as a kind of number on, even if i speak about something like a busy commodity like but the price of bread, the sweating today, i put that up, we'll take our 70 as i go at 40 shoes, i'm taking up 60 opportunities and the funny bit of it is that the cost of living is going high. will list there what's, what's a,

what's i get as up to what i get maybe as an employee, as it is once done. this affects me in a manner that is good a my didn't done experience deal totally great. this bad cough of clearing ask one app. right next to you are so by about course other than for the sitting now is that are rather than, than sitting there also feeling run have to deal with the snacks or ducks and books or smokey's. you find a place he's, he's on the higher price we bad place because period i do find that even it affect health, that's almost as efforts and mechanisms to have bought this disaster continue. and it can then i'll not be able to import the much needed. we to feed our populace the

citizens, he and i left a bearing the brunt of our pricing, and high levels of hunger and poverty, the sand cushing impulse door, russia by the west on the country. it's really part of that exotic commercial for last bt russia. and africa deal to de collage at off the top part are pretty any, to be beyond the increment in with petroleum eatable oil. the price of for lies are highly increased. russia, the biggest exports are off nitro. jim bad the lies that and the 2nd in the chart, most important, a global supply of potassium and pulse with the rush and you can watch has impeded to supply into lead to global increase in their prices. i mean, everything has gone through a little for the supply chain was disrupted, and food supplies, the fertilizer petroleum, which is due to be dependent. the 3 most important, the biggest important to this things we need probably to the 2nd biggest import

sort of fertilizer in the, into africa. next to probably south africa. we are 120000000 people. the 2nd biggest population in africa. so we need to lean towards quite a lot of products and then also we don't have any oil. so we are dependent on imported oil. i'm in day. so in price was to was like $31.00 or it's now about 60 or so it just double the price. in fact, still there is some level of subsidy in the, in the market. so if we start paying the full price of the fuel, the employee would go even higher unless you know, the code oil price coming down. so those are the things which we are now facing. the trade between the 2 countries has to increase, you know, because at the end of the day, russia at the big producer of steel, metal kind of things, fuel. i mean, fuel is probably we buying it from neighboring countries, sudan, and then g,

and sort of the, you know, maybe transportation, it's easier. but which is in a big product. i'm in the room to 2 countries, ukraine and then crash us claim to be producing 40 percent of the global width production and so on. so i think, i don't think it's directly affected, the tutor at the moment, except you know, the price rise and to supply. i don't know where they have been, which is coming. you know, from a different place though, while beat your rashanda, your grand, and that the west, the sand cushion or rush hour force a bait european government to america. policy ship, for instance, with production is encouraged, is seem a lot of measure would be to replace the imported nitrogen bears the fertilizer was local substitutes, like on a mile west and the compost. this besought melissa oddity. i'd be isabella. even one of the most powerful economies in africa being south africa is not exempt from

feeling the ripley fix of a world wide shortage in weeks and grains that was both created and then exacerbated by the length of this conflict. we travel now to the southern tip of africa. now would many african countries importing as much as 50 percent of the a wheat from russia and ukraine. mays meal as a staple food in africa has now become an affordable to many people. the continued high price of mays meal in some areas of the continent means that it could soon be off. the menu in this situation has gotten out of hand and it's not the milli meal that has got an expensive, it's oil and other essential commodities. 10 cages of mays may last me less than 2 weeks, and it cost me more than a $100.00 south african drainage. and remember, i used the cheapest brady, but even that doesn't help. i, if the staple food for 2 to 3 times a day, then them. but the waves get in so expensive. i worry that one day i'll wake up and

won't be able to even afford the smallest speck of mail mail every week. the prices differ and it's getting harder and harder to even it, like i used to. all i want to do is use it in small amounts or without wasting any more. i don't even know more about the trade in exports, but when i head about people talking about the lexia developments, i could have been happy because that would mean more weight grain in africa, which means prices will go down. is it true? i'm really praying and we should that things could go back to normal because i'm nothing without meas mill. i wake up and use it for my breakfast. even before i go to bed. this is the last thing i have in the house. my entire life in existence depends on may's mil. now it's clear that in formal settlements with, in the african continent, doggie, hard as heads would nothing to replace the traditional mays meal africa stay pool

is now becoming a luxury that an increasing number of people cannot afford anymore. and this increases on the daily basis for c, r. no, we acount in to hi miss bird. while that brings us to the end of this week show, we hope you enjoyed it. and if not enjoyed, at least learn something. if he missed last week's episode, we looked at the american dollars declining influence and use in africa. as more more countries search for alternatives, either in the form of a common bricks, currency, or choosing a few african currencies to trade in. next week we come to a game from somalia, but this time we explored this little known country. that is a no go on international advisories. and as you can hear, the fire fight behind me. you can always find us on our social media handles until next week for me and the team from a gun friendly and gun, happy country. good bye. stay safe, and stay with or

t ah, march 20th 2003, the u. s. army and its allies invaded iraq, iowa, especially, he defeated to day. let me know. kind of said, was it anybody else 7? 07. how, how somebody dies in the hobby may the 1st 2003 us president george bush declared victory in the iraq war id there for delta, you know, up i would put up for a potential hire date of december, the 30th 2006. saddam hussein was executed and we'll shut down from

to buy your course decimal rest of it. and you think no, it must be because they are inferior people. what do you do with inferior people? get rid of, get rid of a ah, memory loss is unusual, forgetfulness, a form of memory losses and ability to recall past events in with can be general, were concerned some specific events. so in some cases, the memory loss can extend back decades with start an intensive course of memory recovery on our team.

with a relationship is built on contributing to the progress of mankind. we firmly stand on the right side of history and unbreakable bod, chinese president shooting paint, the men's, his countries, ties with russia as both states. they, they hope to pave the way through a multi polar world, a violation of humanitarian law. that's how moscow condemned knew that the u. k. plans is apply ukraine with depleted uranium ammunition something su 4 with devastating consequences. first a bill yet this decision means that they are ready to take.
