on the list, it just fails the racist smith of the year at the in invincibility the g. 24 minutes to kick off that annual meeting in just how does, but the 1st time you event is being held on the african continent representing process form and assess. okay, not a problem at all, but in west africa it's, are a lot of french troops as they withdrew from this sol, ministry base, you know, i, we coast a top production will make a visit, sputtered briggs, lumber, a series. yeah, to various so ready, strong ties. they dictated without elections. so lensky better move fast, or he's not going to have a country left nervous thinking, what trauma stands on. the 11th team, illegitimate comedian, who come to us in to financing on that quote could be what

the 3 pm, hey, in the russian capital, we are life tomorrow, h q, as was thank you for choosing logic. but he is a man on the move. it's non stop to probably of a safe for us as far minnesota fresh off his historic trip to re add. so kayla growth is in johanna is about taking part in the g. 20 foreign ministers. me to is actually the 1st time that the event is being held on the african continent with all the details his all to his notify oakland. a small surface comes at a time off to you to difficult to find. the questions about pretoria is the ability to navigate to global 4 lines, particularly what's the return of us present donald trump? so the question is with us, so that success has seized this moment to shape the agenda willis,

you tweet to present to people who are wanting to buy domestic issues, regional tensions, even global policies out. of course, one of the g 2 interesting is that since 2009, it has become a more significant body than deluxe offered. you see, when did you mean by that? but you see if it stays where it keeps, it particularly hard to find the global financial crisis. and at that moment they realize that they needed the help of developing states to wave of the storm. in fact, a few days ago, i should say that it is rather much more interested in the g 20 because the group of 7 nations no longer serves as a united effect for growing economies and has the for last much all 6 feet of it's leading to the truth, we have repeatedly stated, the degree now known as the g 7 has lost its significance. this is because it unites countries that are no longer leading in terms of economic and social growth . these growth centers have moved to other parts of the world from this perspective,

but we believe it is more beneficial for us to continue our constructive work in the g 20. which better reflects the economic engine of the globe. and this is why so that can be to set up fees a speak to, to offer to serve as the interest of developing countries. but what do you political changes in sit, intensify, any new use present in the white house? it's timing is especially challenging and while previous g trade to president says on the india in denisia, even result also had to balance domestic and global priorities that none of them had to navigate a fractured multilateral order and a trump presidency and full the present. i'm a post of this g to be to from the c to until the actual summit to november. this is a sickness, a vin for him, because as organizations 1st applicant is eager to leave a lost in medicine if that's happened to send to india. and so that's because remarks on the importance of this for the global,

the foreign ministers participation in the g 20 foreign ministers meeting will strengthen india's engagement with $320.00 countries and bolster the voice of the global south. and this important forum we needs to leverage private capital and use the innovative forms or finance, as well as tex ation to raise additional resources for sustainable development in various countries in the globe, a saw the finance institutions should help to do risk and support more financing for emerging and developing countries, lot of the challenges has lots of supporting and defending developing countries into this. but managing a t, t and t and which one offsets most powerful members is actively disengaged? you would've seen the 6 achieve off state small copays announcement. it actually was not attend, that you trained to his of state summit as well as the foreign ministers meeting

taking place this week. also the member is focused on it said, so that's a was to be very bad. things also seems to set off because g t t c off. so the devotee quantity and sustainability equate to that to d. i am trying to change both of which are offensive. susan, you some pictures of the station to wind on to say that he's off is to advance america's national interest and not to waste text is my need for part of the as see i move, how does it know the situation is particularly notable as so that's it is expected or rather scheduled to have over the g 20 pages to the united states at the end of this year, hopefully the outcomes of from today and tomorrow we'll see if we have a fit for you as to 22 pieces. this is assuming, but as a turning point for a missed opportunity. and recent month, french troops across the african concepts has been given that mock king,

which is now another contingent, is set to depart this time from power to sol, base in ivory coast. the ceremonial handover of port black will soon be complete. well what, how is it the bases entrance have now been painted in the colors of the west african nation for decades from has maintained a 1000 strong force the but at the end of last year, the boy and president declared his own troops ready to take charge and this is a trend we've seen in the wide regents sanibel charge, malia, so on this at all, announcing the exit of french soldiers from the soil and what some of labeling frank 6. 0, the final shutting of the colonial past. the, when you bring the child into the world, you nurtured them for them, and as they grow to new, most let them spread their wings. for the french, they are our fathers, they colonized us. but now they've decided to leave. so it's only natural that they

allow us to fly on our own a little. certainly it's a good french based that supported ivory coast. but today, ivory coast is independent. it relies on itself. i was born a long time ago and i've always known this space. but now we are independent, so it's time for the french to leave as much as well. this will means that funds has now been expelled from 70 percent of african nations, where it has a military presence. but apparently failing to judge the mood is president macro was a cheese, fuller, colonies of ingratitude was that have not been well received. a fellow such a full day from sufficiently left cameron on january 1st, 1968 continued to exert control through its proxy. those entrusted with a managing independence like true sovereignty, and were not fully free to shape camera. rooney and politics are in an autonomous and independent manner among similar cities to president. the chrome still has much

to learn about history. if he truly understood it, she would speak as he does, expecting africans to express gratitude when front itself never signed the germans for the sufferings. it was africans, including senegalese, and some tribune and soldiers from across the continent who fought to insure frances survival. you have talked to resisting oppression in europe, france turned around and applied the very nazi methods they had witnessed this time against africans when france, thanks. the germans then will find crones for joining me now. is the executive secretary of the african legacy foundation. this abraham, while we saw last, this must be quite a base pill for macro uh to taste. no. absolutely . i have to admit even me as a keen observer of african issues, very much involved and engaged with pan actually can causes. i was surprised to

hear the president of ivory costs in december, but 2 months ago announced that french troops would be leaving the country. this is different, this ask you i because so far only we've in boucher many governments in west asked me get to accept shut out because that this is the 1st if you like, conservative pro western liberal democratically elected governments that takes such instead which means now the way it's too big for even conservative, laid down when government to resist. it is a major feeling in west africa among as old populations of old cars. that the french corner lights the helper. and that, that very presence is part of the security problem faced by africans and batteries . so that's why i'm upset with excited about this. well, i mean,

also i do want to go take this up because for a lot of people they say, okay, well that wasn't that strong, a full set of round a 1000 men. but this is not so much about military di cooperation. is it? this is much more seen is really and the exit of an old walled. the oh, the french presence in west africa is much more easily and much more rooted. so i'm just the numbers that we might mention. a 1000 chair, a 1000 there. the french have a deep uh, engagement with visa government, some countries of course, their presence goes beyond the army and the security surfaces. so vague of them said they can only g, the internet of banking and financial services. this fee, con confident, are absolutely changed to the form of colonial must on the french do that. of

course not to have a back weekends, but to keep rubbing africa rubbing the binds. so cool diamonds are you was phase. yeah. the money on everything and make sure that this african countries never rise, but never unites actual constituents any subject to the west then fonts. so don't just look at the numbers are deceiving. the structure of shane africa goes much, much the by then back. what do you make of the timing? um, because if you look at some of the big events in the for him calendar last year, oil deposits discovered in the summer a huge gold discoveries as well. do you think that that might be one of the reasons that you will forward to use what thinking you know, what it's time foot the soil to fully belong to us? was there a concern about in the old medieval sense of what some raping and pillaging of

resources? you know, i'm going to be very balanced in my analysis and i'm gonna sound some she or hair. first of all, yes, my optimism, my optimism says that the, i will, young government is thinking truly and genuinely about the uh, you know, genuine economic independence that have been now have these new sources of income. they would like to control themselves and benefit from. that's very good at the same time, but it's not getting fee or insights that the french and the friends and the data playing a game or for drugs. so they can come into the country in a different form. you know, little diplomatic means. let's remember, there is no withdrawal of the banking system, the french emperor once, and the banking system and the i pretty cost or 6 to is of the economy. so the

french still, i've spent very much present and the i've read course, and that's why i like to jump to this point. if ask, yeah, i read a quote for the governments of the i to see all the time. it's to have a dialogue with the breakfast countries that i shot in yet china and the south africa and seek new sources of conduct ration. and i would like to encourage rush, especially to make it so hair and responses the consumer investment box to ship. that's remember as ask yeah, russia especially has a great history in the country and that's in the 50607080 even ninety's the russian has major. but they help us. we can in major way. amazing or why? because i'll make leave terms of ministry culture. and so this is the time for the big countries to make themselves have also new ways of boston. a ship both that actually can,

can have partnership with the globe and powers resolved in slaves. and if so, of construction, global power. oh, so i want to get your view on the ivory coast, just saying no, yes. okay, but what terminating the defense agreement. but that doesn't mean that what totally dismantling friends present from cooperation in not fair um, but that's what this is thought. contrast to what we saw from this the health states. that the rhetoric was that re categorical guess how we don't want to have anything to do with you. what do you make of that difference in tone? yes, i mean this is to be expected. the ivory cos government for decade has not conservative twice and pro washington governments are very much in line with french politics. but as i explained in previous interviews with the teeth, there is a major copy that i'm the french way, that even the most crow weston government and west. i think i cannot stand again.

and i think the government of the i but of course is trying to mendoza this new land. it's a new space. and i do believe that the across group of which of course, the ivory course is a member is getting weaker and weaker. confronting data for nation, that is governments in the south side. and i do believe in the next year or 2 the, the 2 groups, the cool us understand how well we've come to an agreement in which may be a more pro, uh, kind of freaking this approach would be taking many julia as the biggest country and the it was a going to zation needs to get uh, you know, to get online to get to get on the same. but if induce in any way, i'm to understand that africa must be for us. we can, the natural resources of africa must be for off weekends and that's why they need

cost to ship with russia. we're trying not yet brazil. south africa is not declared in war against the west. it's us because right to have for the time this is to seek new partnerships and to show that it's very possible to have an equal trade relationship not, not like what is happening right now. and what has been happening for decades to the west end, which is basically being locked, i left to be pool debt for that and we value the resources. so this is a why is that i'm supporting, i don't think it's winning. i, i've been saying this for about 2 years now, and i see you have been interviewing many times that there will be fun is a new country joining the weight. and i think this will get stronger. i'm stronger . i cool a born of funds, the bricks, countries to offer a themselves to come up with all those with ideas with projects. and i do believe

that they will be supported in the home on west africa region. and john that i'm, well, i definitely would agree with you that feels that the momentum is exactly on the side. talk about multiplier too, but we told it's really just about finding the voice and the searching it. and the searching of the few ones, independence and one's right to be respectfully pooped to which obviously it has been severely lacking the so many centuries. most abraham is always a pleasure. speaking to the executive director of the african lexi foundation, thanks very much. i a strengthening co operation across the whole space from energy and health to culture and trade. that's the goal to speak with voices of the house of the parliament as she set out on an official 3 day visit to issue the cap. brought into you in a month young cuz trip to based off for the nation coincided with the 100 and 27th anniversary of diplomatic ties that you must go on on this a problem. last year they became even stronger trade in partners when you see or if

you joined the brakes. thomas ology spoke with the head over here because of the house of parliament, an exclusive interview about the prospect for further development. our discussion was the fight. i thought just this very coin 7 bye bye. no problem. and the 2nd talk to these people see so it was really meeting. so we talked about the status of a fashion. so let's see. so the relationship between the sizes in long listing long,

same as all relationship our states investment, relationship, these notes as much as all the way out to be pretty much as you get paid while i was speaking, as i say it was on 200 years saw that he didn't need a lot of page investments. it is going for you to pay for the russian investors shows investors invest, keeps cutting, investing, taken with just big power. give us a space on the bus and taking a look at us bank diesel. it has lots of relations talking,

i'm groups most under 3 media and so i wish that i should investors to invest in the us bits of so during it says that most goes dedication expressed support for culture and language exchange programs. so there's projects including the russian african networks university and just a pop up plus an online pool supplies, some teachers about school to prepare african students to enter the institutes of higher education here. there's also an initiative to teach the russian language, but i'm down to be one of the highlights of the delegations visit was a demonstration of the subject, developed muscle. ok some but it focuses on self defense without lessons the performance of size, the discipline and strength of heritage. while the deputy had approached his ministry of science and higher education was one of the chapman of the states who monetary and agency took part in the sermon. cooperation between russian

and ethiopia is now developing and different spheres. but the most important area of cooperation is human interaction. we want the language center to strengthen ties between universities and russia, ethiopia, and other african countries. this includes allowing students to study simultaneously of african and russian universities, including dual degree programs, is easy. with great joy, we will prepare you dear friends to enter the best russian universities. russia is different from many other countries in the world, in that we have never seen studying in russia or cultural influence as a means to make you or some other country, poor steel. it's best mines and drag them to all country as the europeans do. it is important for us, the young people having received knowledge from russia, culture sciences, make the countries richer and more successful. on finishing up with some of the new states side, trump has come out with guns blazing the games,

the landscape labeling him. nothing but a sunny, successful comedian who is now enjoying the role of dictate to a bit to launch the you asked me to add to that his pre descent joe biden was nothing but a puppet for kids was tricked into financing and unwinnable. but think of it a modestly successful committee in presidential landscape, talk the united states of america into spending $350000000000.00 to go into a war that basically couldn't be one that never had to start and never would have started. and i was president and not even a chance, and it didn't start for 4 years. never would have started on top of the landscape much that half of the money that we sent them is missing. they don't know where the money is. he said, well, we don't know what half of it is square, it's wonderful. a few refuses of elections is low and the real ukrainian falls are and how can you be high? where does every city is being demolished?

charge of the i, somebody said, illinois falls a good. give me a break. i dictated with that elections. so lensky better move fast, or he's not going to have a country left. gotta move, gotta move fast. what a contrast? 3 years into the context. and in fact, especially from what we're seeing now from washington, i'm from what we've just had. it is in fact, uh, washington's policy towards key of now. and everything has been developing so rapidly in the last few days. we've seen the much anticipated talks between mosca and washington and re add up to 3 years of silence between the 2 nuclear powers. and you know, the previous us administration divided administration factors tend to blind only to everything. us top officials a now say out loud and polanski just seems frustrated to, you know, it hasn't been invited to re add a now trumpet be suing a different policy towards kids divided administration. and actually, j. d phones also had buckets lensky,

stating that he's fighting the hands of feet since he's attacking the only reason this country exists publicly right now. and it's disgraceful, and it's not something that is going to move the president of the united states. in fact, it's going to have the opposite effects. you know, it's somewhat surprising that this, that savanski has this kind of attitude, considering that a washington has provided key if with $350000000000.00 and not sold this vehicle wanting to trump for that. he also stated that the war could not have been one in the 1st place of the he is of the legacy media. and the western political mouth piece is quoting savanski beacon of democracy. and he's our guy, donald trump, is how cool is that lensky tied to how? so while united savanski also would be ukranian, instead of charging alto old russian language, he actually elections and he will soon find state media that was so having different stones on the call and fixing ukraine. and you know, it's fall from democrats. ok. so meantime the top 2 guys in america are essentially

so i mean, so and see, i guess that calling a spade a spade, but considering how angry brussels is with trump, maybe america's 2 top guys are loading that. right, right. well, us national security as well as of my quotes on the la must have joined it. not everyone has is gotten the message that the era of an endless grinding war with death and destruction on all sides costing hundreds of billions and costing hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives that arrows over. yeah, and just as an important subject to that is that we look at the type of a, the europeans are providing. and it's often in the form of loans it's being repaid with the interest on seas rush and assets. we believe the american taxpayer deserves to recruit. i know to much of their investment, all of that's an opportunity for ukraine. they need to see that for what it is. and instead we had this kind of escalating rhetoric and push back in the presence not

going to tolerate. zalinski cannot claim to represent the will of the people of ukraine unless he restores freedom of the press and stops cancelling elections. or, you know, even less than just stop that. he continued to slammed zalinski on his ex account and he actually had keys the light of scale for a post, for posing for a folk magazine back in 2022. while people are dying on the front lines, unless school se stated, and another tweets that he actually made fun of the landscape of not wanting to hold elections despite the landscape, claiming he actually has 57 percent, a support to which most responded. and i'm going to court this well that he should be excited about holding an election if he's so popular. and this little backing donald trump statements. lensky actually has a full percent approval rating up so that we don't know for sure what little trouble the some of us for of, but considering that ukraine only continues to lose its territories. uh, the war has been going on for 3 years now. so it wouldn't be surprising if the

numbers actually came out to be true. so you know what a contrast and able to control. so let's get saying he's got 57 percent support from the entire country of ukraine on the west and legacy media and political now pieces will just propagate these numbers. because for years now they've been calling savanski them on their guy and a beacon of democracy. well, you know, it's just all surprising to hey, and to see what this half a day or from washington considering the us has been fueling was we were able to go over 3 years ago, decades actually, especially the conflicts in ukraine which the vitamins ministration viewed as a proxy war against russia alongside europe of schools. and you know, he is unhappy and all of this either because now especially about the messages coming from washington schools. we cannot be a 100 percent sure whether race relations between most and washington all day have a new ton. but for now what we're seeing positive steps, our thoughts being taken off from the city. we all signing off of the south coast was back up the top. oh no,

even you high and dry. the next style house now and so it is live on bus. enjoy the the, um, piano, the moon, but he uh, keep bend t a. stayed in campbell county in the republic of kenya, and today we talk about a great man, a humble man, a weisman. judy s come better, i didn't get a of times any f when history is written of african, great way, more as he was formerly known. will stand found out because he was

humility, personified. when he was asked at one time, i you up with a dish and he said, i'm reluctant for the dish and all i have i wanted to be was to be a pitch. but i found myself in this space and i have to fight to liberate my country. it was at the time that he was in the forefront of the position of dunk. i knew the african notion of the union time, and it was at a time when don guy nick at that time was a trust. the 33 of the british because done by nika, had been updated 30 of the germans. and he was in the forefront and struggled on the cause. he had his compact crew of so i, in the struggle at that time, people are like what i see to go. our, the young,

the oscar, come born on dogs is on what is instructed, is that when the wave of independence sides fastest on tongue, the call was going to the gay, not independence fast in 1900. on 62, while even when you it is talk to go more can you also came on to a point on milton or both 2 of you gun done a backup with this and told them i'm prepared to delay the independence of time that you so that we can come together and gain independence at one con, cannot that infused or both the refused. and of course, he proceeded with the tongue that you could be coming independent. and i, you are late when they met in i decided by and one only has to.
