value and i saw it was so that the conversation may continue to pace the piano to moon. but here this slide, our kids shall conservancy in my truck was county in the republic of k. when is the 21st century was coming along, it was said that it would be offered because century and many issues were touched on. one of them was the c as providing opportunities for the development of africa's economy africa has the advantage of i've been 2 or 3 meg. jo, what the buddies, if we leave the in town, know what to on the western part of africa,

we have the atlantic ocean on the eastern part of africa. we have the indian ocean and the northern part of africa, the mediterranean sea, of which of the great opportunities in terms of the ability to spa, the african economy. a decent idea of costs, remember, is that this was a cannot acquired gray significance as on the 1800 on 69 when it was constructed. and aside from the platinum, i know one of the most important what the ways in the swear has gone up. and when it was seized by the gypsy and the 1900, then 56. it was indeed the statement that it jumped on by extension africa. quite an important task. so the very 1st thing that we looked at when we talked about the c is the c as

a mode of transportation for purposes of delivering goods in a manner that is cheaper than any other means. and this was gone, all is a good you cool. awesome. now sitting down, pretty good. i does shutting the johnny in many ways in the olden days. people would go through the cape of good up, which is along the route. but we know that with the says cannot particularly for the countries on the eastern part of africa, it's important economic activities and ought to be protected and then did ought to be supported on the western side of costs. we have the atlantic ocean on to the extent that off with the trades with south america and the united states of america . we do have major plots in that area and that guy incentive the of cost plus have

good. and one day non gall up auto noval. all of these um major ports under of cost $10.00. my in the gun these um major ports that i use for purposes of transportation of goods. and they have significant a variety of to the continental wasik. it is tragic of cause that many african countries can quite money deal ports and we've got to rely on other countries demonic those books. but that does not undermine the fact that the seas political in is the economic life of many of these countries. on the is 10 part the important parts such as the dublin in south africa, the euro and, and the num paula in the mozambique mombasa in kenya and indeed tongue and progressively even the part of florida is becoming very important for matters relating with gus as is the part of my you on the part of barbara on,

dont drove us matter in every fear. so if you look at the seas of the museum of transportation, you'll begin to appreciate how significant this ease uh best be your own transportation. the are the things in 1982 when the convention of the un convention on the lot of the seas was signed, didn't want to go away in jamaica. it is a noteworthy that one of the lead didn't lives at the time was getting on from congenital. in fact, it is from contend who is credited with creating or coming up with the concept of the exclusive economic zone on the exclusive economic zone is 200, not equal miles from the sea show of cause, excluding the territorial sea, which is 12 not equal miles and this particular mazda is

critical to the continent of africa, because it is now recognized that we've been exclusively for nomic zone. they are resources and those resources cover many areas of sho, it's all minus. oh, i really wish we see quite a bit. all the cost of nigeria, of the cost of gone, of the cost of i'm going to and is not only on that we are talking about. we all start talking about gus in the audio cover delgado in water. i in tons and yeah. and or these are resources that can be used in 90 effective money to do propelled the economy of african countries in on a bit that will liberate millions from poverty. but one of the things that we must remind ourselves, particularly when we talk about the resources of the see is that off because still

does suffer from a number of crippling things. number one, many boundaries in africa have not been limited. in other words, the boundaries have not been determined on because africa as we would have desired and is not a single continent. each country still assaults they are suffering. and we have seen this conflicts going to the international tribunal international court on the law of the c v. i've seen as between nigeria and comment on regarding the about costs the peninsula, which went to court. and ultimately it was resolved that division came out, which was partially against measure. unluckily, during the administration of prison, introduced a good investment of the month that was settled in on i'm a give away. so to limit the addition of the boundaries is one of the issues that

is problematic. the of the country that are outside the similar problem is kenyatta . so my idea which i find the dispute which was taken to the international court. and of course, a finding was made against kenya, and that is a problem that continues to buses today. the other one is as between the mazda and pick on the neighboring countries, and it is important to recognize. yeah, that although this is within the african continent, friends which to control the island of my york as odd conflicts with the most. um, vic, it as to how it conflicts with the my desktop. and it tells us how it conflicts with this the shows and hard conflicts or so with what is just this tells you one step gain. that's another problem that africans confront. as regards controlling high seas is power was which still retain interest in the african continent. we

have seen not only in the india notion, but even in a couple of that, which is in the atlantic question. we have seen claims that are made by european powers and we have also seen problems in the mediterranean sea. so what does that tell us? what it tells us that in the face of these opportunities african countries do not have the technological know how african countries do not have the military well, with all they do not have the capacity to grow. and we know, for example, many vessels from china and japan on from, on to many of the countries have must've fishing vessels, which are complete factories which actually fish package on the export from the sea. and the net effect is that they are depleting the

resources of these african countries, some of the kind of countries of costs i've even requested for countries to help them to patrol this ease. the most recent one of costs is somalia. we chose the request, the key to do the product rule. so all of these fucked as militate against the full enjoyment of the dividends of the sea by african countries. the other thing that we see in this particular part of the was as regards o, s. c is the dominance of the wi fi was with the may, jeff needs, if you good, replace the size just deal garcia, which was the home of very many military, a number of military bases including the americans. you discovered that the presence of these wild flowers is also undermining the food i use on for the enjoyment of the dividends of the seat. you have also seen conflicts right now.

there is right now to meaning the 2024. there's been an ongoing conflict in northern mozambique where the conflict between individuals incompetent edgardo, who are fighting the administration in my portal. and you can see once again that these militarized with the french, through the tal energies trying to use or forces at their disposal to participate in a war which undermine the continental wasik. so it is true therefore, that the resources of the c, i numerous, we talk about fission, which would be a multimillion dollar multimedia night. right? industry and african countries are not benefiting from the fish. we are talking about the question of, of show mining and when we talk about mining,

we are not just talking about or we are talking about sutton drea, things which are to be found in the sea. we are talking about the right of navigation on how that is going to be as useful as should be useful to the african countries. and we are saying that many african countries don't have the capacity. we are talking about gus deposits, which not being exploited in the amount of that they should. we are talking about many things that can happen in those spaces. and the see could indeed be a major game changer event fall identity shift. we now know that there is the knowledge that would enable people to actually enjoy the dividends of power generation. and not only that, the country is now the beginning to use see was to through decide the nation. and this, this, that the nation plans are going to be useful, particularly as our ground worked on in,

on what does become poor on poor and as we deplete the aquifers in many countries in the continental profit. we are going to discover that in did these particular processes of decide the nation and is not what the, the, this, the nation happens quite heavily in the areas such as the, by the name that we send them, an africa must begin to get into that. the knowledge, if africa is to realize application, you know, i'm not sure what one they also see that africa is potentially endowed by the resources that can be found in the see. these resources both within the territorial, what does, which is 12 not equal minds. they also within the exclusive economic zone 200 nautical miles. and one can begin to imagine how we would add the continent of

africa benefit if we want to work as a team. and in order to enjoy the dividends of the resources of the sea, it is incumbent upon african countries to walk in a cooperative murder. as the saying goes, competition is the lot of the jungle cooperation is the law of civilization. and it is in comment upon african countries now that we are talking about in traffic on trade. now that we are talking about obviously agenda print to $6.00 to $3.00 to begin to walk together in order to expedite the resources of the sea in did. if african countries want to see themselves as one, the, the whole idea of telling me additional boundaries, which is a potential source of conflict as we have seen between can yeah, it can. yeah. and so might be, as we've been seen, between comfort room and comfort room and julia, as we have seen between gone unluckily, people as we have seen between send

a gun on the via this would become something of the past, as indeed we have seen between on board la, within the cup in the area on the congo, but as of you are, these would be a single the past. so the messages collaborate, because the sea is the home of many resources which can be used for the benefit of the continent of africa. africa, it never sees us to america as one. that is why have conversations about uh, as legitimate as they are relevant. but let us say, or by buys, we come back again to continue discussing the mazda continent of africa. thank you very much. the,

[000:00:00;00] the alternative thoughts, britain suggest that it is a lot of it put it in who is not ready to negotiate. spite moscow repeatedly saying all the lights look forward to working with our allies, our counterparts for diplomatically, militarily to look at all options. now the us defense secretary refuses to rule out putting american boots on the ground in gaza. and that sancho donald trump proposes to evict millions of palestinians from the entry but local say that that wouldn't go without a fight for them. but we are determined to make your life here. we don't want to be
