horn of africa in peril. ethiopian prime minister. b ahmed has warned that his country would humiliate any nation that threatens its sovereignty in what is seen as an escalation of the war of warts after egypt signed security pact with somalia. the ethiopian prime minister also said the agreement with the breakaway region of somaliland is historic. this will be the starting point for our cooperation with the brotherly people of somaliland. to grow and develop together in cooperation and to ensure our common security. following the announcement of the deal between ethiopia and somalia's breakaway region of somalia. and tensions have increased between the two east african neighbors and they are not about to end anytime soon. now we are starting off with the osama mohammed. briefly, why is ethiopia insisting on this deal with the breakup region of somaliland despite the opposition of somalia? the relationship between ethiopia and somaliland has been a longstanding way before 50-60 years. somaliland has been alwa

africa, china, and it's western rivals. this is inside store, the airline james phase trips abroad, usually mean expenditure for most of us. but african leaders will be coming home from a summit in beijing with purchase of more than $50000000000.00 in loans and funding from the chinese host. more than 50 african nations or the forum on china, africa cooperation summit with the punches underlining, china is position as africa's top investor to the detriment of the us and former europe and colonial powers. china says this investment will create a 1000000 jobs and fund a wide range of infrastructure and other projects. but that, that comes with the cost to, with some countries anxious to restructure we payments from previous funding. so what's in this for both sides and what the such huge investment mean for african states political relationships with china and also for western competitors like me us, we'll discuss all of this with our panel of guests in a moment. but 1st, this report from cyber, colorado, a taste of what's on

in africa, it's a wealth. indeed, africa occupies millions of square kilometers. it has 1,400 million people. and the diversity of cultures is, in fact, a reality that makes africa extremely rich. when the african struggle was organized about 60 years ago, now within the african union, and also provide modern education to young people, because africa is a very young continent, the task is to form its own elite. i studied the structure of the african union. as an organization , it seemed very interesting to me, in some ways complex, because i noticed that you have a commission, and an assembly, an executive council, an all-african... parliament, so could you tell us about the architecture of your organization, the african union, how it is, what it consists of, and how it interacts internally with its divisions, and naturally, these various organs play different and complementary roles, all of which are contained in the african union's founding act. we have an assembly , which is made up of heads of state, and an executive council, which is made up mainly of foreign

but he's being to africa 5 times joe 5 and it hasn't been to africa n. as in taught to him. in fact, he said in may when he met the canyon president, he was going to go in february, next year. i'll think it was re elected. well, that's not going to happen. helping us drop the bowl here. do you think as well? yeah, they have. i mean, if you look at the trade numbers, it's very, very low, and it's under 5 percent of the total trade with africa. it's just been pushed aside. there's been lots of fanfare about doing something about africa, but there's no concrete results. and that's really what beijing is taking advantage of. now keep in mind, this is not a contest. choose china over the us with china says is don't choose be non aligned . all we ask is that we trade together and that we build the friendships and partnerships that can benefit us. both us is the one who says, ideologically, you're either with us or against us. you're either at the table or on the menu. thank you very much to all 3 of you today. all guess. well, i know it's hanging, how not right to on sunday shut,

he will be in south africa. mr. anagma emtinka, a researcher at the nelson mandela university of south africa, will stay with us , mr. emtinka. hello. mr. emtinga , the china-africa cooperation meeting was held while about 20 african country at the level of their heads. ping's participation in this meeting also announced that china will provide about 51 billion dollars in facilities for african countries in the next 3 years. as the first question , what is your analysis of the china-africa cooperation meeting? good night and thank you for inviting me. thank you. well, this was an initial commitment from china and it was a commitment expressed to african countries. many countries in the african continent are interested in expanding their business and commercial relations with china, and this commitment they have. . it makes you want to read infrastructure projects and capital projects as well. participate in the expansion of trade with china, and china also invests in this field, the chinese import goods from africa,

china is africa's biggest trading partner. and if you look at total trade between china and africa, it exceeded $280000000000.00 in the last year. let's look at some of the details. according to the united nations, south africa is trying his biggest trade partner on the continent. that combined business was worth $35900000000.20. the country was i bought more chinese goods than any of the african nation. trying. the 2nd biggest trade relationship was with and go not valued at $27300000000.00. the country has abundance of all the minerals, including diamonds, next to nigeria, with a joint trade valued at 20 full $1000000000.00. the democratic republic of congo shed trade was nearly $22000000000.00 in north africa. egypt has rapidly expanding its infrastructure and has more than $18000000000.00 worth of joint business with china and beijing's trade relationship with teneo stretches back over the decades. and is the biggest in east africa with $8500000000.00. so new shot, those are very, very impressive figures, but it is fair to

for it , africa. in 2013, the african union created a concept called agenda 2063, which is our vision for the next decades. this agenda can be reduced to three points: the integration of the continent, its prosperity and peace. as a union of african states, we are working to strengthen our unity. in particular, we are working on transformation, which means development in various areas. in the field of education, health, infrastructure and new technologies. and of course, we are working to strengthen peace, security and human rights, which have been an important part of our agenda for building a new africa. the african union unites 55 countries of the continent. the goals of the organization, strengthening the unity and solidarity of african states of the peoples of africa. protecting sovereignty, territorial integrity. diversity in africa is wealth. indeed, africa occupies millions of square kilometers, it is home to 1.400 million people. and with the organization of the african struggle about 60 year

and some are coming as far as west africa and east africa, all those kinds of the i in south africa. but the ones that, you know, we have pulled up my pays and right now. oh, maybe we're talking about right now that give me go into my tools that you know, i to the board as a south africa. that means um the, you know, uh from as above waiting list to, to, because of the proximity of the countries. and that because of it don't change in those countries coming to south africa and because it's easier for them, you know, to close this one, bought the, into the country with the documentation or we can pull out of the, you know, allowance so it's difficult for people keeps coming from west africa because they only have to buy you buy a whole lot of um, uh issuances to get to the country by the out with those the tech code the bought that. and that's why we have this pre balance is based on payments. what's in bubble in this right right now. wow, that may be actual illegal migrants in south africa. isn't that also the case that many of those top desk illegal migrants the actual asylum see ju

and is the biggest in east africa with $8500000000.00. so new shot, those are very, very impressive figures, but it is fair to say that the balance and trade in most cases is massively in china, is paper or is it not as well? that's one of the issues that prisons revel pulls that has brought up that access and it is part of the, the, the, the discussion i think are the gray areas with regard to this focus that the trade deficit tends to kind of be in a, in a way doesn't necessarily favor effort this kind of venue edition and integration due to the value of trade. i don't think part of that challenge is really dealing with that trade because that's a deficit. and what is the value of distribution of production that venue, fax it? and that was one of the key issues that was spoken about both, i think at the bye, left for level of countries. but also mentioned in president use. you can speech that manufacturing and allowing for a number of goods until with almost a 0 terrifying issue with regard to value added production. and that's a big qu

are the first priority of africa. they are not in africa limit reached now there are many historical factors. there are several historical factors. one of them is that china is not an actor willing to dominate when it is interacting with africans because many countries. that the nature of the interactions with the westerners created this and the westerners adjusted their relations with africa in such a way that the africans were always indebted to them, but after the investments continued , more countries were able to to international trade. they don't want to be dependent on their own business partners, and based on this, the africans have plans regulating themselves we witnessed during the colonial period that the chinese came to kenya and cooperated in the construction of the tanzanian railway project, and they carried out programs in sudan, zambia, tanzania, and south africa, but when he built a turning point in the trade relations between china and africa and started the belt and road project, which was actually
