unsustainable space between somebody. uh, honestly, yeah, thank you very much. uh, we continue our conversations and as we talk about different countries and different individuals and let us take a break and come back in a short while. so the conversation may continue. pace the, [000:00:00;00] the piano to move, but here this slide our kids show can 7 see in my truck was county in 35 because k,

when is the 21st century was coming along, it was said that it would be offered because century a and many issues was touched on, one of them was the see as providing opportunities for the development of africa's economy africa has the advantage of having 2 or 3 made jo, what to buddies, if we leave the in town or 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 fiber of africa, the mediterranean sea, of which of the great opportunities in terms of the ability to spa, the african economy. tradition of costs, remember, is that this was canada, acquired great significance,

as on the 1800 on 69 when it was constructed. and aside from the pond on, no one of the most important what the ways in the swear has gone up. and when it was seized by the defend the 1956, 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 the says con, all is a pretty cool, awesome. i'll sit in that for you. good. i to 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 this says, cannot particularly for the countries on the eastern side of africa,

it's important economic activities and ought to be protected and didn't, did ought to be supported to one of the western side of costs. we have the atlantic ocean and to the extent that off with the trades with selves in america on the united states of america, we do have major fox in that area. and that guy incentive the of cost plus have good. and one day known gore law porter novel, all these um, major ports. and of course tim i in the gun these um major folks that i use for purposes of transportation of goods and they have significant value to the continental wasik. it is tragic of cause that many african countries can quite money, their ports, and we've got to rely on other countries demonic those books. but that does not

undermine the fact that the sees political in the economic life of many of these countries on the eastern part, the important parts of such as dublin in south africa, bay 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 my does relating with gus as is the part of my you on the part of barbara and don, 2 of us mazda in every for you. so if you look at the seas as a medium of transportation, you begin to appreciate how significant this ease uh best be your own transportation, of the odds of 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 isn't not was the that one of the lead didn't lives at the time. was canyon from congenital. in fact, it is from contend who is credited with creating or coming up with the concept of the exclusive economic zone. and exclusive economic zone is $200.00, 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, the resources and those resources cover. many areas of show all the mining all i really wish we see quite a bit. all of the cost of nigeria, of the cost of gone,

of the cost of i'm going to, i need not only on that v i talking about, we all start talking about gus in the audio cover. delgado in twilight and tons of new and or these are resources that can be used in 90 effective minor, to propel 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 the limit. 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 is still a soft, they are suffering. and we have seen this conflicts going to the international

tribunal international court on the law of the c, v of seen as between nigeria and comment on regarding the bach costs you peninsula, which went to court. and ultimately it was resolved at position came out, which was partially against measure, unluckily during the administration of but it's introduced, you're going to invest and you, 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 problem of the, of the country that are outside the similar problem is kenyatta. so my idea which i've had 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 on is between mazda and dix on the neighboring countries, and is important to recognize. yeah, that although this is within the african continent,

friends which to control the island of my yacht as odd conflicts with the mozambique. it's just hard to conflict with the my desktop. and it tells the side conflicts with this, the shows and conflicts also with what is just this tells you once again. 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 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 and find on the many other countries have must've fishing vessels which are complete factories which actually swish package on the export from the sea. and the negative effect is that they are depleting the resources of these african countries. some off we're going to countries of costs of even requested for countries to help them to petrol. the seas, the most recent, one of costs is somalia, which has the request, the key to do the product rule. so on these fuck does militate against the full enjoyment of the dividends of the sea by african countries. the other thing is that

we see in this particular part of the was as regards or she is, the dominance of the file was with may just fleets. if you go to place the site 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, why the file was, is also undermining the full i use on for the enjoyment of the dividends of the seat. yeah, i've also seen conflicts right now. there is right now. meaning the 2024. there's been an ongoing conflict in northern mozambique where the conflict between individuals incompetent god though, who are fighting the administration in my foot. and you can see once again that these militarize with the french through the dial 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 fish, which would be a multimillion dollar multi 1000000 niagara industry and us within countries and not to benefit him from deficient. we are talking about the question of, of show mining and when we talked about mining, we are not just talking about on we are talking about sutton, ray, i think we got 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 us deposits which are not being exploited in the money that they should. we are talking about many things that can happen in those spaces on

the sea. could indeed be a major game changer event fall identity ship. 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 move decided the nation. and this, this, that the nation plans are going to be useful, but particularly as our ground worked on in, on what does become poor on poor. and as we deplete the equip fuzz, in many countries in the continental profit. we are going to discover that in did these particular processes of decided the nation and is not what the, the best of the nation happens quite heavily in the areas such as the by blue nay, that we sell um and africa must begin to get into that the knowledge,

if africa is to realize application, you know, i'm not sure what one deal for 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 to of not equal minds. the 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 corporate demona. as the saying goes, competition is the lot of the jungle. cooperation is the know, civic lies ition. and it is incumbent upon african countries now that we are talking about in traffic on trade. now that we are talking about obviously agenda

print to $63.00 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 the limitation of boundaries, which is a potential source of conflict as we have seen between kenya in kenya on some ideas we've been seeing between the comfort room and the comfort room. and the jetty, as we have seen, between the gun on the called the vo. uh, 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 law within the company in the area on the congo. but as of you are, these would be a single of the past. so the message is collaborate because the see is the home of many resources which can be used for the benefit of the continent of africa

. africa. he never sees us to america as one. that is why conversations about uh, as legitimate as they are relevant. but let us sale a by buys, we'll come back again to continue discussing the mazda continent of africa. thank you very much. the such elements or praise, gives this little bit much of the opportunities. what is the, what's the criminal, immutable sort of thing. yeah. for us to bring a bunch of, for example, as i said, i was just going to get upset so that we didn't get a glass case before, but, but the color supplementing of much interest. give old sample of mute on the virginia but only do you too much too much. you to go to your i see the look at it
