person says as we discuss this legacy of colonialism please consider voices from it the opiah and liberia i was shocked to my at the opie and powell wish to they were also colonized to benefit from the infrastructure that the british did after she stepped foot in nairobi so that's one person's perspective here's another and this person here an example is really interesting because in fact a lot of anti colonialists all going to around the invasion of ethiopia in 835 ethiopia is very beloved in a kind of pan african context because it was the only non colonized african nation and had a selassie stood up to the european powers and ethiopian independence and if your peons very selous guarding off its independence inspired anti colonial struggles across the world i think it's a it's a really kind of factual so idea that you need at colonialism in order to bring infrastructure and development i mean if you want if you you know if you think that it's following to have massive amounts of land expropriation as kenya. and massive amounts of bloodshed and explore exploitation in order to get a coup

before just 5 countries accounted for more than half of all these cases democratic republic of congo liberia madagascar somalia and ukraine and the world health organization says that as of last month there's been a 3 fold increase in the number of cases in 2019 in comparison to last year when medical teams going door to door in summer as they raced to vaccinate as many people as possible against measles residents have stay off the streets during the 2 day campaign and put a red flag outside the house if they are not vaccinated fewer than one in 3 people and some of that had the correct immunization before the outbreak started. well jessica washington joins us now from the central coordination had courses for the crisis in the capital apia just take us through what's happening today and efforts of course to try and contain the disease. marian that's right i'm speaking to you from the headquarters where the emergency response to this measles outbreak is being coordinated and the team here are compiling the numbers from day one of that mass vaccination drive so far we've heard that count is th

we see the destruction of the world's forest just as we heard from indonesia to liberia to brazil. so who is funding this? who is enabling this to hip? these are the very banks and investors we heard about. they are not only financing rain forest destruction. it is the same banks and investors that are also financing the oil, coal and gas industries. we were just out here a couple of weeks ago, many of us here, we were with auntie jane, and shut down d.c. and we took this message to black rock and matter of banks and investors right here in washington d.c. and i want to talk about black rock for a second. black rock is the largest wall street investor, the largest investor on the planet. now, we know wall street has already wrecked our economy. we see day in and day out how wall street is corrupting our democracy by funneling dirty money into our elections and now, we are seeing clearly, crystal clearly how wall street is fueling climate disaster. now, black rock, like i said is the largest financier on the planet, the largest investor. they are the largest investor in oil pipeline

an army that has been able to deal with a criminal and deal with the civilians that civil wars in liberia and sierra leone and up to now cannot deal with this problem and there are also people who feel that the french are up in debt in mali you know financial and other parts of this now 4500 french troops there and yet these attacks continue they're not apart from the french forces there are thousands of other international forces stationed in mali for example and i'm used to take care of these problems but again you have to appreciate the development over the last 10 years not only in the south region but also in north africa as well as the middle east a lot of arms are coming in from the scary years after the fall of eisel in the middle east after that really is a fall of gadhafi in libya these these sahabat regions are bust and they have territories that their military is trying not manage probably because some areas supporters spread thousands of kilometers by the way and these armies may not have enough resources to deal with that so the attackers or the gunman or fighters that are m

if you look at liberia, for example, you know, the former leader of liberia was the world's darling. and did a lot for her country. but a lot of people don't know that there was a u.n. force there to -- with an annual price tag of $600 million a year, to keep the peace in that country and to permit some of that development to happen. as, you know, i think was suggested here by blaze, if you -- if the security council could authorize similar types of operations in about 10 other places we might see very different results. and the question really is whether the world is willing to pay that price tag. are we willing to pay $600 million a year to keep liberianss from shooting each other and allowing them to have a chance at public institutions that allow good financial and public management and allow them to the develop. >> thank you. >> katie. >> i agree with what you said and i think ib maybe i did work in congress for a stint one thing that impresses me with the history of multilateral organizations has to do with developing constituencies and getting the institutions to reach out in

and liberia. and we have had this bar almost on a woman being able to be president. for a black woman to be in the position, naming shirley chisolm who is both of our political hero. >> absolutely. >> for her to hinge it on that legacy i thought was so inspiring. it's a real loss that she's out of this race. >> omarosa? >> i have to agree with that and in fact, i have to confess that i had my students at howard, joy, watch her announcement speech so that they could know what it's like to come from howard university and end up on such a national stage. but i chose robert f. smith and his speech at morehouse college and his encouraging -- >> this is where he paid the debt for his -- for the class that year. fantastic speech. >> it was a fantastic speech that encouraged those young men to pay it forward, but it also reminded us of the political issue of college debt and how there are so many bright and incredibly talented students who come out of college just heavy ladened with debt. and that speech, i think, was a turning point. >> dramatically brought that point home.

excuses, and also the demand that african-americans stay in the united states and not be deported to liberiar any other colony, plans to deport free african-americans. any african-americans left the united states. from that point, the liberator, his newspaper served as the main organ for the movement. he was a very effective organizer. he was part of a group that founded a national organization that brought together black leaders and their emerging white allies. they would meet in new york city and come from all over the north. the numbers started growing so that after the organization had existed for 10 years, you had 200,000 members. 10 years in they had a falling out in 1840. susan: two names we are going to hear a lot about as we get closer to the anniversary of women's suffrage, susan b anthony and elizabeth cady stanton. people who managed to stay known in current history books are much more public characters than the couple of lines we learn about them. these women are examples of that. what makes them more complex? you talk about how they were willing to denigrate the rights of afric

norway has done an extraordinary thing and providing the funding for liberia, guyana, brazil, other countries, indonesia to really take on deforestation. that has really been transformative. we are now seeing the real resistance, especially in brazil i would like to encourage norway to think about a different approach. begin to explore the possibility of relationships with some national actors. like different states in brazil as opposed to just dealing with the data national level. some of the other states that have massive importance for rain forests. they are ready and have governors willing and able to engage. i know there are complications, but there should be a way to do that. i also suggest that one way to increase the resources available since this is such a powerful and potent issue today, the health of rain forests is, for the government of norway to make these funds available are crowd forcing. crowd forcing to matt match it so we can double the money. i think we need to think creatively how do we leverage the funds from norway. it has nothing to do with columbia. columbia has reall

for example, thousands of liberians from liberia living in this country will get a special pathway to citizenship. why? how did that happen? don't ask. it was never debated. you had no idea it was evening happening. this is your country. you didn't know and of course that was the point. what about the war in afghanistan going on now for 18 years? a few weeks ago the post say our leaders have been systematically lying to us how the war is failing and has been for more than a decade that should have been the scandal of the year. instead those documents are forgotten, almost immediately. why? thanks to impeachment. in fact, in this new spending bill congress just voted to keep the money flowing unimpeded to that failed war. $4 billion will go to the afghan security forces, really? it's like a joke. we know for dead certain that money will be wasted the second it gets there the troops we hire will dessert. their weapons will wind up with the taliban. if anything the money that we send is more likely be spent killing american forces than turning afghanistan into belgium or whatever the mis
