the, the the, you know, when you sit in on top of the hill, going hills in the river variety of kenya, enough garden as prestige,

and one would say of the god know, bid the question of climate change. and all these fun mutation comes to mind and a waste comes to mind for a long time of the west on was, doesn't jive the divisions of industry the beauty of the refrigerate. the beauty of the microwave, the beauty of the things that improve the quality of life, is the beauty of things such as computers. but we never saw quite grappled with how we do with the waste. it was always assumed that these things would last and there would be no need to dispose of them. but yet, a waste of knowledge become a major problem for the quote. at africa, once again,

as it has done in the past, is beginning to feel the pain of us as europe and america grappled with how to deal with the ways the question of where to dump a waste is the question that is alive and well. many who uh, engaged in this conversation will know that africa, in many ways is the consumer all good that i've been abundant already, just that in the west. so we have a whole industry you not because that is powered if you may buy 2nd on goods or through 2nd on goods. and these come from europe, we have some of it of costs coming from places does jump on some of it coming from the united states of america. and the question that we must ask ourselves, what is the impact of you waste in the continental vasa today, for example,

we have one of the largest e waste dumb sides in the gun in west africa. that is the most well known. but do we know well, as the e waste is being done in the continent of africa? so yeah, those who actually say that quite a bit of it has been done in this i had. but in fact, just in the northern federal modeling, the northern part of new jersey and event booked enough ice of cost. this has yet to be verified, but they are claims on dish. and that this does happen. there was also a pain that for a long time such waste was being dumped in the deserts of northeast on kenya. i'm the question that we must ask ourselves. we who live in a continent which in many ways is things pretty, pretty spin in terms of as product tropical flores. but it's been in terms of this . there's ups, which i've not been tied to by

e ways. how are we going to respond to this through legislation on through interactions that are going to build the rings around the continent of africa? and it is important to say that a 5 countries operate in silos and in to on federal bi lateral arraignment. then they were discovered that a waste forms part of the body of material that is dumped in the if in the countries on. when we talk about a ways we must ask ourselves, what is the effect of the waste in terms of the work that we consume in terms of the size on which we plant a seed in terms of the air that we breathe in terms of the quality of the what does in move from which we have fish because science demonstrates that if e waste is dumped into the solid, it will have an impact on the pre fuzz from which we draw. what,

when we'd villalobos signs demonstrate that some of it may get into that we breed, some of it will get into the solid and upset the yields. and it is incumbent upon countries to legislate both as countries but with the agents. and i'm been gone regional up product to some of these things. i'm big and regional approaches because when you are these and then you have this front to resist some of these plans as in the western world, whether they come as companies or the come coming under the use of the countries and continental, it is also important to ensure that we have continental approach. so the, if the regions are doing something about it, the continent is also a live, the reality that we have a common position. it is not sufficient that up country or the agent has. and the

in do they just late, they've, i've, you know, that allows it to forbid a waste. but it's also important that as the continent we have a common position. and it is only this that we give meaning to the conversation that we have around climate change. it is only this that we give meaning to the argument that we have around the question of a gun exceeds these only this that we give meaning to the conversation that we have about the and what and if we are to engage in this conversation properly, it is important very quickly that we have one of the con declination that does not allow a ways to be dumped in any part of the continent of africa in order to sift good away environment. and in order to ensure that africa and also comes up protected from agents which undermine the quality of people's lives on top of impact on the house of the people's diseases. that one known to the continent of africa,

which are now beginning to have the ability to kind of says of different proportions, which we never thought would be in the part of africa. and these can now be traced to the e ways that has been dumped in different parts of us with us for the last many years. so going forward, the approach that the continent must state must be initially regional and ultimately continental lee. and once we do that, we can have pieces of legislation that are clear that will ensure that our interaction with those who up reduce the waste will not do it in a manner that will benefit them. an effect of the car in a negative way. it is also very important now, as we go into the re, um, of a diffuse show intelligence. and we in the rock with some of the things that are the dimensions of the 50 inductor pollution. how is

a deficient intelligence going to affect how equipment is consumed and the guest there's some period between the manufacturer and the disposal. and how is also going to ensure that we do not allow the advent of artificial intelligence to be used to effect africa negatively through dumping of such waste. i believe we have a duty of the continent of africa to engage and engage meaningfully. and i'm calling upon our institutions of highlighting, particularly those which technology currently inclined to ensure that we set ourselves in the mind uh that we, immunize us from the factories of the waste, which is being dumped in different parts of africa, with the objects that binding the time is not the step decisive decision and to insure on say, no to

e waste in the continent of africa. you know, when we talk about he waste and we talk about his impact, there is the danger that we always don't look at its soft um, medium time and long time effect. it is very easy for countries to accept that we are going to allow a trade in order to ensure that our people access sutton equipment. it is easy for our country to say we are going to the bought 2nd on television. it is easy to say we are going to impart 2nd on refrigerators. it is easy to say that we are going to impart 2nd on laptops. it is easy to say that we are going to import 2nd and microwaves on when they come into a country in a manner that is not supported by you abuse or standardized asian. this thing that

we forget that within a very short time, these equipment will become non functional. and when they become non functional, the question that they're not arises is how do we deal with them? and what then happens in why the number of countries is that we go to the nearest desk. that is, that we go to the nearest to what the body that we go to the nearest dumpsite. and when we go into these are, you know, what we do is that we then dispose of these items in those areas. and we assume that they would not have an impact in the things that we do. we assume that these things will simply the way, what do we do not know is the, the major implications in the critical areas of our lives. and if africa, for example, say that is going to ensure that the quality of our people's lives is something

that is critical to them. we must create the linkage between a waste and the quality of people's lives through the extent that the lives wouldn't be on the mind. but of the ways that signs itself into our daily lives. when we say that therefore, the chain is important, and we are saying that we are moving away from seeds, which in william puck negatively on the continent of africa. and we have given pride of place to granted food. i really mind doing or solve the thing that will come out of the ways that we are allowing to get into our system and get into our side and get into the most. yeah, i'll be wired about that. that's how i diversity is the full on the mind because we have the ways that the is around, but these are the issue, the policy met cause enough become us. now grapple with these are the issues that must also be, you know,

us thoughts when we talk about the negative impact of the waste in the continent of africa. and this must be emphasized again on the game to the extent that we are in another. you know, well, we are talking about climate change, the link. they may not have been established, but i have no doubt in my mind that the waste has an impact on climate. and the dot is going to affect the does in one way or the other. and we have a duty to ensure that our participation in the struggle for cleaning the wired for cleaning off the car is not on the mind. we who are not consumers of what is done in the continent of africa. we can do it, we must do it through policy, through legislation and through enforcement on the time is now on collaborate with the countries which ensure that whatever is brought into the continent of africa

does not affect away environment affect us by extension. so we are discussing weight the seasons and when the weight becomes too heavy, we need a break. the senior we and i show it to us after the break, the, [000:00:00;00] the in the early $1880.00 brands decided to subjugate madagascar. however, the mother got the king, refused to submit it $1883.00. during the 1st franco mail, i guess they wore the french sent

all local schools were closed and the french language was imposed on the population . the care lasted 15 years and resulted in the death of at least 100000 mile a gas the people, the colonial regime left an open wound in the history of madagascar. but violence was never able to suppress the valid gas key striving for freedom. on march the 22nd 1943 doing the great petri. i'll take all the shirts and munch fatality and 118, run down the better risk the age of causing the issue. but the person who did the wish to be loaded into the luxury is the most of the rooms to pony you to you? 149 people died, including 75 children of age was practically wiped off the face of the long new
