the, the piano to move, but here the slider, kids shall conservancy in my truck was gone. the in the republic of 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 i've been 2 or 3 made. jo, what the buddies, if we leave the in town or what to on the western part of africa, we have the atlantic ocean on the eastern side or vice versa. we have the indian ocean and the northern finder of africa, the mediterranean sea,

of which of the great opportunities in terms of the ability to spa, the african economy. tradition, idea of costs, remember, is that this was cannot acquired grace 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 defend the 1956, it was indeed the statement that it jumped on by extension, africa acquired 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 pretty cool, awesome. i'll sit in that for you. good. i to shutting the johnny in many ways. in the old days, people 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 part of africa, it's important economic activities and ought to be protected and then did ought to be supported to on the west side of costs. we have the atlantic ocean and to the extent that off with the trades with south america and the united states of america, we do have major parts in that area. and that guy incentive the of costs both have good and one day non gall up auto noval. all of these are major ports under of cost 10 my in the gun. these are major ports that i use for purposes of transportation

of goods. and they have significant value to the continent of africa. it is tragic of cause that many african countries can quite money, the ports and we've got to rely on other countries to money 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 east 10 fact the important parts of such as dublin in south africa, the euro and, and the num pull i 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 dr of us model in eduphoria. so if you look at the seas as a medium of transportation,

you begin to appreciate how significant this ease uh, but be your own transportation. the odds of things in 1982 when the convention of the un convention on the lot of the seas was signed in want to go bay. in jamaica, it is a not was the that one of the lead didn't lives at the time, was canyon from contend. 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 decal 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 to nomic zone. they are

resources and village 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 need not only on that we are talking about. we also talking about gus in the audio cover delgado in water. i in tons and yeah, and all of these are resources that can be used in 90 effective money to do propelled the economy of african countries in an all bit that will liberate millions from public. but one of the things that we must remind ourselves, particularly when we talk about the resources of the sea, 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 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. i've seen as between nigeria and comment on regarding the bach costs the peninsula, which went to court. and ultimately it was resolved that the edition came out, which was partially against nigeria. unluckily during the administration or present or who still going to invest in jo the month that was settled in on. i'm a give away, so delete the addition of the boundaries is one of the issues that is problematic the of the country that as i, the similar problem is kenyatta. so my idea which i, by the dispute, which was taken to the international court and of course of funding was made

against, can you? and that is a program 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 funds, which to control the island of my unit as odd conflicts with the mozambique, it tries to hide conflicts with the my desktop on details. so i side conflicts with this, the shows and the 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 open unit is 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 flying on to many of the country 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 kind of countries of costs i've even requested for countries to help them to

petrol. this ease, the most recent one of costs is to malia, which has requested the key to do the product rule. so all of these fact 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 may just fleets. if you good, replace the size just deal garcia, which was the own 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 seats. 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 god though, who are fighting the administration in my portal. and you can see once again that is 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 off, within countries on 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 on we are talking about the sutton area. 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 be 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 follow a generation. and not only that, the country is now the beginning to use see was to through decided 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 blue. nay. that was, 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 day off we'll 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. 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 an african countries to walk in

a corporate demona. as the saying goes, competition is the lot of the jungle cooperation is the no 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 of the subject 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 the limitation of boundaries, which is a potential source of conflict as we have seen between can yeah. it can you, on some ideas we've been seeing between the comfort room and the comfort room and julia, as we have seen, between gonna unluckily people, as we have seen between send the guy on the via this would become something of the past. as indeed we have seen between young boy la, within the could be in the area on the congo. but as of you are, these would be

a single of the past. so the messages collaborate, because the see is the home of many resources which can be used for the benefit of the continent of africa. africa never sees us to america as one. that is why conversations about uh, as the legitimated as they are relevant. but let us say, or by buys, we come back again to continue discussing the mazda continental buffer. thank you very much. the

. the headlines it went off. the international america takes aim of the international criminal court. donald trump order functions on the i. c. c, timing. it's a rest award on his riley officials is an abuse of both power also ahead and this program obviously i think it is worth listening carefully to this idea, which is the 1st original idea that has been raised in years. but anyway, given y'all are right there on board with trumpet supervision to send old guys into exile. however, we speak with a member of a how much political bureau who fires back saying the palestinian people will decide for themselves to the number of people who are really to go with this such idea to be nearly 0 on a scene is mature enough to decide.
