north africa, east africa and the middle east. in west africa, you have the yun day code. these are frameworks that deal with the maritime space. climate change is really only dealt with when it deals with plu economy issues, but because these are security frameworks, they mostly deal with issues in west africa and east africa. piracy, human smuggling. arms strug smuggling, a lot of which takes place on fishing boats. so i don't know, i can't say how those frameworks are set to incorporate issues of climate change, but certainly they probably should be especially when it come to the migration of marine resources. lastly before we >> turn to the audience here, you talked about local solutions. the lands report, special report on the lands came out in august. there was a fwraet panel. we also derek on the panel and she spoke about just that and the idea that oftentimes, we talk about these global commitments. >> whether it's paris or other agreements. set these national goals, but those goals are often being implemented at the national scales. regional, global scales and rea

relations they were soon joined by germany which established colonial settlements in togo cameroon east africa and what they called german south west africa today's namibia. this decision to colonize africa affected the whole africa in its development so africa was left behind african resources were taken away to europe and as a result we developed as poor people people were left behind so there when it's come to it and i mean it was not only a question of taking the resources away from us but it's also a question of eliminating the population of this country so that has a serious impact on our society. after the berlin conference more and more german settlers began to arrive in namibia. they triggered conflicts among the local people in order to acquire territory. they signed a treaty of protection with the chief or the herero saying they would defend the herero against the norm a treaty that also served their own interests. the legendary nama chief hendrik with boy wrote to chief samuel. i learned that you have given yourself in teaching and protection. and this dry land is only known by 2 n

east africa. are there -- are they beginning to deal with the challenge? are they ready for the challenge? what kinds of steps do we need to take to improve upon them? i think we heard a little bit from amy. i'll leave it to you. >> ill start again. pull on the comments at the arctic counsel. my own view is the arctic council is straining enormously. in many ways the international community is putting a lot of burden on a structure that wasn't designed to carry all of that burden. the arctic council is, again, an intergovernment al forum that deals on consensus. it produces some climate impact assessments and maritime shipping assessments that are extraordinary. i don't think they get much play, but they're an incredible value. the six working groups that work on a wide variety of issues, they do important work. but it's very isolated. it's not well-known. but there's a lot of things now that are happening in the arctic that the arctic council isn't designed to do. and so, again, what's happening is things are being built around the arctic council. so the

since 9/11 we have built partnerships around the world in east africa across the pacific to go against violent extremist groups and that capability doing their preponderance of the fighting with our shared objectives to defeat such violent groups president to president trump's assertionsn that should be viewed as a moral hazard with a commitment of us capabilities which has strategic effects for a large number of us personnel and in syria with those forces on the ground approximately 60000 personnel to liberate millions of innocent civilians with the physical caliphate so the syrian defensese force made up of kurds and some arab syria lost more than 10000 fighters taking on isis it is true many joined who did so but even after the homes were liberated the kurds and arabs alike with the last remnant of the physical caliphate they were also fighting for us to be sure there was no more isis t directed attacks with this sample in san bernardino. with that territory firmly controlled they also gained controlen of more than 2000 foreigny fighters. so given the sacrifices it was for president

the first was tropical cyclone o'day, essentially the hurricane dorian of east africa. it happened in march 2019, over 1300 people were killed in mozambique and although mozambique was hit hardest. currently the estimate $2 billion worth of damage. and those type of evidence are made worse as you know by climate change but they destroy the resilience of communities. we talked a lot about ecological resilience but community resilience is important and i think the good news is that something we have a much greater ability to impact and the second example is what's happening in lake chad in central africa between chad and nike nigeria. lake has lost 90 percent of its water volume over the last 15 years, that's not solely due to climate change and warming area is also due to irrigation and other factors that illustrates the complexity of the problems we're facing, the way we deal with land creates positive feedback that makes the impacts of climate warming even worse. and in the area of lake chad in particular the changes being seen in fishing communities and efferent agric

since 9/11, we have built partnerships with local forces throughout the world, from north and east africa to the middle east and across the pacific, to enable efforts against violent extremist groups. we have sought to apply exquisite capabilities only possessed by the u.s. military to support local partners doing the preponderance of the fighting and dying in service to our shared objective of containing and defeating such violent groups. contrary to president trump's assertions, we are not engaged in an endless war in syria. in fact, the u.s. partnership with the s.d.f. should be viewed as a model of how to leverage an economy of force commitment of u.s. military capabilities to achieve strategic effects, thereby object visa wait -- obviating the need for large numbers of u.s. personnel to be put at risk. in syria, relatively small numbers of u.s. forces on the ground enabled a kurdish and arab ground force of approximately 60,000 personnel with our help, the s.d.f. lynn rated millions of innocent civilians from the violent oppression of isis and defeated the physical caliphate. some ha

it was when i was in east africa i met the minister about the stories of his own tribe they were very practical. it's about what men and women do. the genesis story is also very practical. it talks about why we die and men and women and gender and sort of what's right. that is important to understand as a particular cultural pattern and we don't have to accept their values. but thinking about them as enormously exciting. >> why it would have been an important summing up the great scholarly career as you talk about your personal life and construction of the did you write it from a place of loss, loss of your younger son and your husband a year later. i wonder if you are comfortable talking about that. >> it's interesting you have to sort of be careful with what you say sometimes. the talking with a friend she wrote a beautiful poem and there is a beautiful poem that says it is so amazing. she said it happened to me, something like that. i had this experience. she said it is the last one and i said really. people have experiences that we can't explain. i'm sure many people here know wha

and discussing section that really talks about malcolm's views, malcolm x is views on africa and even the middle east. of course, we read a few of the letters that he sent home when he was traveling in 1959, as well as in 1964 in africa, as well as in the middle east. we will also talk about some speeches that he made, won in 1959, and another in 1965 before he was killed, that really sort of talked about his views on africa. and a critical interview that he gave when he attended the organizational, organization of african unity conference in late july of 1964, in which he sort of discussed his strategy and the reason why he came to that conference and was appealing to these african heads of state. hopefully everyone has read and listened to these speeches. so we can really get a sense of malcolm x viewpoints on africa. i think in order for us to really understand why malcolm expressed some of the things he did in these letters, in many ways we see that he sort of is arguing against particular ideas within the black community that were widespread in africa. it is critical for us to have a very good v

in the past especially from the east because there are not only movements from the south from the from africa from middle east but the dozens of 1000 people coming to the opinion from the east from eastern europe from asia and only the last year we had 30000 new cut incoming people from countries like ukraine mongolia central some to asia so that's also focused not only on 11 flow of flows and in this regard to be trying to have a regulated process through which we can allow people to get freedom also also reported that xenophobia and t.v. refugee rhetoric had been voiced by your prime minister and your president. how helpful is that. it doesn't have put helpful i think that we need to fight any forms of can for bill but this is coming from senior members of your government in 2011 before becoming president this is a man labeled islam anti civilization and sit there with no such thing as a moderate muslim just like there were no moderate nazis that's that's that's quite a hateful comment as i'm a social democrat i understand and for me and i kind of intolerant so for be are under semitism is

but again, we can only do that with partners, whether it's africa, middle east, southeast asia, we rely on partners to help gather that information and, when necessary, act on it. >> one of the other things we've learned about isis in the last a couple of weeks is, according to jim jeffrey, the special envoy to syria and for the global coalition to defeat isis, there have been a number of isis terrorists that have gotten free since the president's announcement of the withdrawal of united states forces from northern syria. so this is obviously a great achievement in the fight against isis, al bagdadi was the founder, the spiritual leader of isis, but there's also this new threat of 100 plus isis terrorists out there. senator bob menendez, the ranking democrat on the senate foreign relations committee, says that the release of these isis prisoners is a clear and present danger to the united states. do you agree? >> well, we need to have more information about exactly who they were. so there are top rate, very dangerous isis operatives, and lower rung operatives who are not as dangerous. a
