11:33 am
a country. many have either never heard of heard only bad things about confines on the map. situated on the horn of africa, it has the longest co sign on the continent, mainland. the country is most famous for wait for its poet, but unfortunately years of civil war for involvement and interference, most of the american has left the country, one of the poorest in the world. almost 3 in 4 people live below the poverty line of 1.9 us gallons a day. international traveler science. we warn you not your travel here due to armed conflict and as you can find me, the sound of the human helicopter. keeping watch be an ongoing very high rate of terrorist attack and kidnapping and dangerous level of violent crime. this is the same of what it's like to visit as a foreigner or german. i've been here in the capital of somali market issue
11:34 am
for several days now, and i can tell you that this is my 1st time to the country. and 1st impressions are that the people are extremely hospitable, extremely kind and gracious. not this was a former colony of both to me and indian italians only really being spoken by the much older generation. most people do speak english and if it's not a good english, there is a kind of smattering of english. i was hoping to show you, but of the life in the streets of ma, get the issue, but we are having to go every way with a 247 a school. we are not an officer of the faces of security guards that are with us all the time. the fact that i'm working on the ground is extremely unusual. the security is giving me a few minutes to do this report and entered it back into the vehicle. and that is because the government is battling the militant group, which is an offshoot of islamic state. the mon facing and the worst
11:35 am
drought in history is very, very hot. yeah. only after arriving what that whole march and april are the hottest month. the basic planning makes con in that regard. but as you see, there are people on the street for some kind of life. all the women are dressed in traditional clothing and every way you go people, notice you because of course we look at that strange and we look as if we foreign, the hotel that we staying in is actually an compound. and the way it works is that anytime once we have to eat and they come with us, the compound itself is, could not only with on the coast to know who are holding. i'm using a k 47, but this was the sandbags. there is also to main and all of that is mean to hi,
11:36 am
behind if there is some kind of shootout or provide some kind of protection. if we go, we have a local contract with us. so here is a group of local contractors that have just driven past us and we have to say we usually have 6 types in the vehicle in front and then the rest of the team is into the vehicle following behind and remains a concern. anytime we see a part of the vehicle is consuming in being given the sun life now the 15 off on the streets enough and it's time to get back in. but i am hoping to show you at least yeah, where that is kind of more of a main street, a little bit of what life in this very, very poor african country looks like. i'm not sure if you can hear the words in the call to prayer. this is a muslim country. it is fully muslim. it is regardless because most i'm a genius populations is mix tamales and then if we can just kind of
11:37 am
pan around here, you can see a bit of life. again, i'm constantly surrounded by the security guards and any kind of want to do any kind of discussion has to be arranged. ok, we're being asked to shows one camera people also camera shot. i do want to say that people who are very proud, it's a country that not any people go to, which is unfortunate and it is because of the security situation. in fact, we can just swing a little bit this way. we won't show you the woman, but i just want to show you like the barriers and the kind of security that is everywhere. for those of us who remember reporting in iraq in those kind of countries, it brings back that kind of memory. this is a very dangerous country. it's a lot of security that's needed. but at the same time, it's unfortunate because it is a country that seems to have been forgotten and my experiences have been not
11:38 am
but but it wasn't oil like this for millennia somalis port connect to traders across indian ocean. in the 1800, the country was colonized by person and to me, and the famine of 993 led the american military care. the quote started as mediterranean release seemed lead to one of the heaviest losses sustained by the american army in one best known as the battle of montana. yes, of civil war and all if not followed, lasting decades and virtually destroying the country, economy and infrastructure. in the last few years, it has tend to change into pricing, looked an initiative known as also above whose loyalty tied back to plans and war, or what years of absent government entities. the militants have provided, such as running their own schools, clinics and collecting trash. the new internationally recognized government, while framed with the us was chosen by its own people and not installed by washington. at somalis have not forgotten america's contribution to the chaotic
11:39 am
post. well, i think it's, you know, it's a mixed bag. you have some somalis that support america and you know, i'm happy with the intervention you know, in the fight against osha, bob. but there are some that are, you know, quite skeptical. and you know, i think that america just opportunist looking to exploit so monica, you know, because so molly, are as, as people, they are very wary of outsiders. but you know, all in all, i think, you know, it's a mixed bag. and so while the people, you know, they're, they, they're on the fence, the u. s. is aim initially was to help and from the relief with the you and you know, at a time where, so molly was in the 2nd year of the civil war. and the country was in a state of disarray. unfortunately, the mission, you know, took a different time,
11:40 am
turned into a political thing, you know, where they wanted to snatch and grab and apprehend one of somebody, the biggest warlords in a div this, in turn led to the bustle of mobile dish, or which was a horrible loss of life on both sides. currently just a few minutes ago i had, we had a very loud explosion. i really do hope that nobody's hurt and you know that it's not devastating. but to assess the political situation, the political future of somalia. this is a country that has been in war for the past 3 decades. it's a very gradual process to peace and stability. but, you know, with the current regime, there is a glimmer of hope in the darkness because they are really, you know, taking the fight to show up. they are pushing them out of rural areas where they may be, you know, held for almost a decade. and you know,
11:41 am
with the current regime, you know, i shall be on the hills and they have practically nonexistent incent in central somalia. so if you know, the current regime carries on and on this trajectory, i think is think we have a lot to look forward to. and, you know, never give up hope. you know, i think it in fort for me as a minister before materia, my mom did the struggling with one of the bill to the service. but my, my dream is to build capacity and it all for us to be more in the city of use and all the money for an emergency to you. some of the money in developments or it, for example, in what some assistance in the snow, by the way of collecting all the time when the 2 dick wells will need to, you know, come up and know what to the salvation and other who. so we need to lead to think
11:42 am
about how we reduce the resources i just this are, are helping us. but the government who do to those decisions, you know, on one hand, in a, the intellectual community. and we are very thankful that this of what at the somalia citizen sentiment to one that is if a thick it and also that other edited to leaders in the world such as ukraine w, that's bigger legal to some of the somalia. so a lot of so what is with you live, but some of the smaller much it's more of the you've been. and i hope the older community would be jealous, acquitted of somebody. exceptional because of that show up. and because of the calamities a wi fi isn't the consequences, the sort of ocean that, you know, someone who had faced the problems that other kinds of santa facing. i'll show up. little dick one told me the enough one 3rd of the country. it and the did the control is the production area on the, at a switch with the left livestock and didn't allow people to farm the didn't allow
11:43 am
and be able to do whatever they want. salt in service of for an economy. i what addiction is good, don't yet of 3 of because of those. and now 2 of us, the group and collaborative, it's very evident to somebody that other other parts of the world, those automation work is more difficult. yes, the civil war have resulted in some way to ask for a scattered across the world. maybe we 1000000 lives, enabling kenya. and while some of them of put money and businesses meaningfully across the border as refugees, our porter, none of we could get the community more than 5000 kilometers from home is miley refugee crisis is one of the most challenging mass displacement situations in the world. over the last 30 years, hundreds of thousands of people have fled. so my lia, due to political stability and dangerous civil war,
11:44 am
the southern africa is trying to hosting over 100000 registered so mighty refugees, half of whom live in south africa, to girls almighty. at the moment so it's not their life and it's not the piece. so i'm scape myself also. yeah. i decided to come here. it was not in my plan. so i come to gain faster or cell from there when they kill my brother. i said it to move to come the site. actually i just run away from too much problem in my country. recently they give us a good, well, come in here. everything is are right, but the problem we have here in the home affairs is just like when we just try to get our bus days, really big, difficult to hello and our kids
11:45 am
a born. yeah. my only they a safe. yeah. so, but sometimes the thought of them growing up and realizing been not of african hits me every day with the young and small. so mine has been killed even yet in south africa. but this country is way safer than somalia. i appreciate everything about sub africa. how they treat as refugees and how they welcome out holding that schools to farmer. but i get scared for them off off. i'm actually there, you know, you tinkin it's risky, you give but i don't know when there was that dead that, that the killing each other once you lose their kid. because i lose my family. so it's better because some my lives have been displaced for generations. many somali children have been born in refugee camps. luckily for those in south africa, they have a place to call home even go challenges exist,
11:46 am
no live. we couldn't get out of c pretoria. it's not just conflict that somalis who had to contend with for more than 15 years, the country has faced multiples to be a drop in 2011. more than a 1000000 people died from famine. not only has the country not had a chance to recover from that, but there's been no rain for the last 6 years. tragically, experts agree that the coming child was in the corporate history. but from april international agencies had decided to cut back on a dr. abraham, the gunner ali says that western humanitarian assistance has always been a double edged sword. i believe with the head of the some of themselves, we are the end with the support of the international community will overcome this crisis. and we will be will some value to the
11:47 am
gardeners, guys, some are going to be headed into some of you say our life when that's when way there. when people are love, love of what that was. it was saving my. oh is sometimes prescription or the groups that we used can create it kind of dependence and misuse. all right, so it's one of the, some of the things that they mentioned that you, you, you keep catch up when you call it and condition got at pharma. suppose the band is bottom lies. what g j? well, cross will have a cut. so goes when did you lose that?
11:48 am
any of you ever did you, my mother will life by giving god will not go back to the far. the government is working hard to reverse the situation and recently established the somali disaster management agency submit to which coordinates or disaster related incidents in the country. i think some time on the ground with them. i want to have it all in black hole. in the ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
11:49 am
ha. that it, one of the major crises, somali disaster management agency, thought matt is facing at the moment is trying to prevent what could potentially become the biggest genocide the world has ever seen. current projection weights suggest as many as 9000000 somalis and 12000000 more people from across east africa could die from hunger. in the coming months, sama has become the backbone of somalia, approved by the cabinet after the government prioritize the urgent need to manage disasters. and take care of people from the homes because of famine and conflict. aside from facilitating relief efforts from both local and international organizations, it focuses on helping communities build capacity to be able to feed himself in future and manage disasters in the areas. the agencies credo is that humanitarian assistance should be free from politics,
11:50 am
and it sends its people to the worsted areas to provide food, clothing, shelter, and support. you are familiar with the situation. when you come to a camp like this, what, what do you notice what, what for you is important that you look at and you see people what is this in mid fall? if you think you think you can help all these people, return them what you get them off in the summer. why look enough? why do you give them these, this material that's on the what you can give them a house is gonna be like is enough enough,
11:51 am
but just what did they do for toilets? so these 2 toilets, yes, it's 200 families. i mean, the the gap between hunger and resources is big, but saga is working to never which and create lasting food security. one day before winter to capital to south malia, i'll show that killed 7 security personnel and into the 11 government officials in the bombing attack on the gate where they were holding a conference. we are running our logistics team to lift to quit that the people here to move the dish. and then we prepare the unplug, you know, and it talks hospital. there's a lot of people getting wound, but that this as soon as people 10. so this thing we are making to support to
11:52 am
evacuate in addition to school committee was because that community be tough. it's fashion now for our last 22 years. and it's mainly focusing in the trauma cases from the old country in them healthy care system. now the country in the last 10 years is improving and we believe in a, you know, we can do before we use to send the patient outside because it's not easy for us to manage under to, you know, to do some operations in our country. nowadays we have the capacity to do all to stock is different kind of operation. and we think a belief that there is a guy, there's improvement in going on in the health sector. but there's still got of months, years of conflict under the generations of knowledge of private local initiatives, somalian money and supported by the government,
11:53 am
bring together generations of professionals to nurture homegrown talent. i caught up with the director of the center for leadership development. faith in mogadishu, when it comes to writing and studies that has been in the domain of european scientists of starting from the colonial and mission is coming and the travelers and so on. that it was only in, in the eighty's that we had produced a whole intellectuals who are starting to, to write while, while we were on a low our way to establish that a credible academic, a capacity for, for the county. the working in civil came, i need scholastic. now it took us almost 20 years to have
11:54 am
in the can say again, universities now we have plenty of them and that's another thing. what we have lost in the civil war is not just generally the collapse of the government and the destruction of all the properties that were owned by the government. that the books, the documents, the, everything that was in the archive is also lost. and so the risk is that this national wealth of our intellectual heritage is driscoll being lost. if he does not, if it's not culture and through the work, we try to transfer that knowledge and experience from that generation to the new generation. if you have lost those material,
11:55 am
the only people who remember and have experienced that life are they, once the professionals who are living, so they, they have forecasts in somalia, it's much, much more value than in any other country. if you go now to the ministries, you will find need professional piano professionals. all of them had been trained in the country and they have gone through the location while the bullets were still being fired. sometimes on them, sometimes as good in the government. crossfire no matter what happens in this country, whether it's done by international or you know, after, as it's our responsibility to the chemical self. somalia was being nice visited country in the world last year with
11:56 am
less than 100 visitors. and it's really a pity, because the country has a lot to offer, as you can see from the front behind me, there are a number of historical sites, beaches, waterfalls, mountain ranges and national parks. yes. yes. the economy is broken. 20 american $1.05. this amount of tomato shillings, people here do the best with what they have and all kinds of spectacle. and for me, ah,

after, hey, is an organization that was founded by for a skinhead neo nazi white supremacist in the u. s. in canada. and they found each other and they knew that they wanted to help other guys get out is 2 parts to getting out of a violent extreme. this was the 1st part of disengagement, which is where you leave the social group. and then the next part is d. radicalization where belief systems are too far removed. it was very impactful when someone finally came along with no fear, no judgement, you heard my story did nothing to challenge it with our campus made it abundantly clear. we cannot wage a counter offensive without more weapons and ammunition from the west, the west, particularly washington. they show no interest in it, negotiated and to the conflict. in the meantime, ukraine become smaller and smaller.
