the colonists, known as da no, ours took the best land from day one, the local population was put into an unequal position and was brutally exploited. this gauze, mazda is content. the people of algeria began their long term fight for independence . in 1954, the banner of freedom was raised by the national liberation front. a guerrilla war against the occupants broke out. the french tried to suppress the rebellion using cruel measures. full villages were wiped out acts of torture and executions of civil people, including pregnant women, children and old people took place more than 2000000 people were put into concentration camps. however, these punitive measures didn't help the algerian patriots managed to induce france . the start fees negotiation. in 962. evian records were signed,

voting algeria on the past towards independence. but this was achieved at a colossal price. algeria by rights is considered to be a country of martyrs. according to the calculations of historians, the french colonists are responsible for the deaths of one and a half 1000000 algerians. with i'm away now to go to the beach, but like other places will where you can just in case you decide to put on some custom and grab at each bag. here we've had a security group. we're in a convoy, you can get us 5 and we have 6 gun was in front with a k 44 with 3 vehicles. this is,

i believe we have an arm it was. i really think people are going to struggle to shoot through what is the hope all is this just to take a quick trip to the beach to see a close to that point, often i'm not, doesn't make it into the mainstream. hello. welcome to the show from the malia a country. many have either never heard of heard only bad things about a can't find on the map. situated on the horn of africa, it has the longest coastline on the continent, mainland. the country is most famous for wait for it, its poet, but unfortunately years or so will war, foreign involvement, and interference. most of the american has left the countries one of the poorest in the world. almost 3 in 4 people who live below the poverty line of 1900000 dollars a day. international traveler science and he's warn you not to travel here due to

on conflict. and as you can find me, the sound of the human helicopters keeping watch an ongoing, very high rate of careless attack and kidnapping and dangerous, and level of vine and climb. this is a thing of what it's like to visit as a foreigner or german. i've been here in the capital of somalis market issue 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 that we are having to go the way with

a 247 armed escort. 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 here is blocking the militant group, which is an offshoot of islamic state. the mon, facing and the worst drought in history is very, very hot, yet only after arriving what the whole march and april are the hottest month. the basic plan makes con in that regard. but as you see, there are people who are in 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 a bit strange and we look as if we foreign, the hotel that we staying in is actually a compound. and the way it works is that anytime we want to need,

because we have to nurse 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 40 sevens, but this was a sam this also to me and all of that is meant to help you hi, behind. if there is some kind of shootout or provide some kind of protection. if we go, we have local contracts with us. so here is a group off the 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 concerned, some of it being given the sign like now the 15 off on the speak enough and it's time to get back in. but i am hoping to show you at least, yeah, where it 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 20 muslims. it is regarded africa the most. i'm a genius populations. 85 is mix tamales. and then if we can just kind of pan around, you can see a bit of life. again, i'm constantly surrounded by the security guards and anytime it's one to do, any kind of discussion has to be arranged. ok, we've been off shows on camera. people also camera shot. i do want to say that people have very proud if the country that 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 and 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 experience to have been nothing but but it wasn't oil like this for millennia somalis port connect to traders across the indian ocean. in the 1800. the country was colonized by person and to me and the famine of 993. the american military care, the quote started as mediterranean release simulates one of the heaviest losses sustained by the american army in one best known as the bashful among the she, years of civil war and all if not followed, lost in decades and virtually destroying the country's economy and infrastructure in the last few years can yet have attention to pricing. looking, alicia,

known as above, whose loyalty tied back to plans and warlords. what years of absent government entities, the militants have provided, such as running their own tools, clinics and collecting trash. the new internationally recognized government, while framing with the us was chosen by its own people and not installed by washington at somalis have not forgotten america contribution to the chaotic post. well, i think it's, you know, it's a mixed bag. you have some, some molly's 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 mando because so molly, 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 the some while the people, you know, they're there,

they're on the fence. the u. s. is aim initially was to help and from 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. it turned into a political thing where they wanted to snatch and grab and apprehend one of somebody's biggest warlords in a deed. this, this in turn led to the bustle of a mobile dish, or which was a horrible loss of life on both sides. currently, just a few minutes ago, had we heard 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 sol malia. 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 schwab. they are pushing them out of rural areas where they, they, they, you know, held for almost a decade. and you know, with the current regime, you know, i shall be on the hills and they're practically non existence and sent in central somalia. so if you know the current regime carries on and on this trajectory, i think it's i think we have a lot to look forward to and you know, never give up hope, you know, i think for, for me or similar simple material. my monday, the struggling with what the bill to the service but my, my dream is to build capacity and it will for us to be more in the city of

use and all the money for an emergency to use some of the money in developments or for example in what some assistance in the snow but why the, what's up so i can all the time with the, to dick wells when the to, you know, a come up in a what to the salvation. and i love him. so we need to little think about how would use that the resources i just this are helping us. but the government who literally doesn't assist us, you know, on one hand in a, the international community. and we're very thankful that this of what the somalia citizen maintenance one it does have a thick head and also that other addison to me this in the world such as ukraine w, that's bigger, bigger somewhat of the somalia. so a lot of so what is would be live, but some of the smaller, much smaller the you've been and i hope the older community would be generous, unquote. lives samaya. exceptional because of that show up. and because of the

color meetings, a douglas facing the consequences, the sort of woodson that, you know, somebody were faced, the problems that other kinds of santa facing. i'll show up a little dick one told me the enough one 3rd of the country. it and that the i did, the control is the production area on the edit, the, to with the light livestock on didn't allow people to farm the didn't allow and the be able to do whatever they want. salt in service of for economy. i what addiction is good, don't yet have to be up because of those and not to to was the group on climate change is vivid to somebody that other other bus of, of the old. so those are making our case more difficult. yes. a civil rule have resulted in a from on you to ask prescott, won't, maybe we 1000000 miss enabling kenya. and while some of them are going for money and set up businesses meaningfully across the border as refugees, our porter,

none of your community. more than 5000 kilometers, come home is miley refugee christ. this is one of the most challenging math displacements situations in the world. over the last 2 years, hundreds of thousands of people have fled samaya, due to political usability and dangerous civil war. the southern africa is currently hosting over 100000 registered, so mighty refugees, half of whom live in south africa to girls almighty at the moment and saw their lives and not the beast. so i'm scared myself also. yeah. i decided 1st night to come here, not in my plan. so i come to gain a fast or cell from there when they kill my brother. i'd said it to move to come

this site. actually, i just run away from too much problem in my country. and recently they give us a good while come in here. everything is are right, but the problem we have here in home affairs, just like when we just try to get our bus days a really big difficult to hello, i'm our kid born here. almighty. they a safe yeah. but sometimes the thought of them growing up and realizing been not how the african hits me every day we see young and small. so mine has been killed even yet in south africa, bottom. but this country is way safer than somalia. i appreciate everything about south africa, how they treat as refugees and how they welcome our children that schools. but i get scared for them. lisa, i'm actually there, you know, you tinkin it's risky, it gave but i, you don't know when there was that did that?

did the killing each other once you lose their kid, because i lose my family. so it's better because the mileage 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 though with challenges exist, novia couldn't get out of c pretoria. it's not just conflict that some arlington had to contend with. for more than 50 years, the country has faced multiple severe drugs. in 2011, more than a quarter of a 1000000 people died from famine. not only has the country not had a chance to recover from that, at the scene, no rain for the last 6 years. tragically, experts agree that the common child is the worst in recorded history. but from april international agencies have decided to cut back on 8,

dr. abraham to gonna ali says at western humanitarian assistance, has always been a double edged sword. i believe we do with her rebel or the so modest themselves. we are the end with the support of the international community will overcome this crisis on we love the abyss will, ah, somalia. been since the owners have begun to some other and they are being held to some other data said ela lives when there is people going very there when people and i love food, love of water or floods. they were saving lives, however, sometimes ah, the prescription or the um, rules that we use can create a kind of dependence and misuse of resources. and one of the examples simple

things that they would mention is that you, you, you keep cast before when you call it and conditional gath at pharma. suppose the band is foreign police lies. who are g, j. one cross will have a cut. so goes, when did you lose that? 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 incidence in the country. i think some time on the ground within a hole in the ha, ha,

ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. b, i c, j a, was it that it, one of the major crises, somali disaster management agencies thought met, is facing at the moment, is trying to prevent what could potentially become the biggest genocide the world has ever seen. current projection rates 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, 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 life? you think you think you can help all these people to return them? what can you give them off?

i mean, some of why look enough? yeah. why do you give them these, this material? it's on the you can give them a house, is lucas davis, and that is not enough enough budget. what did they do for toilets? so these 2 toilets, yes, it's $200.00 families. i mean, you know, the gap between hunger and resources is big, but saga is working to never which and create lasting food security one day before the due to capital to capital. malia, i'll show up killed 7 security personnel and into the 11 government officials in a bombing attack on the gay count where they were holding

a conference. we are running our logistics team to lift, to quit that, that 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 warned, but the, this as soon as people 10, so this thing we are making to support to evacuate in the dish of these host called me the host. because that communities be tough, it's a fraction now after the civil war in lots of 22 years. and it's mainly focusing in the trauma from the all the country in the health care system in our country. in the last 10 years, it's 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 a gap still got of months, years of conflict under the generations of knowledge, a private local initiatives funded by somalian money and supported by the government, went together generations of professionals to nurture homegrown talent. i caught up with the director of the center for leadership development safe in mogadishu. when it comes to writing students 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 our own intellectuals who are starting to, to write while, while we were on

a low way to establish that a credible academic, a capacity for, for the country. the working and civil came and needs collapsed. now, it took us almost 20 years to have in the can say again, universities now we have plenty of them and that's another thing. what we have lost from 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, 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 captured and through the work, we try to transfer that knowledge and experience from that generation to the new generation. if you have lost those materials, the only people who remember and have experienced that life are they, once the professionals who are live, so they, they have forecasts in somalia, it's much, much more value than in any other country. if you go now to the ministers, you will find near professional young professionals. all of them had been trained in the country. and they have gone through the cation while the bullets were still being fired. sometimes on them,

sometimes as good in the government. crossfire no matter what happens in this country, willing to done by international or you know, after his it's our responsibility to the chemical self. somalia was the nice visited country in the world last year with 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 somebody shilling the people to the base with what they had and kind a spectacle. and i

use, ah, well, that brings us to the end of this free show. we hope you found it informative. if you missed last week, we will also in somalia, focusing on hope all week and grain crisis has affected this cost as well as many name the weights for instigating and practice,

the russia ukraine context the course that next week we're going to be coming on station of education in africa. if this is something we'd love to hear from you, as we're always on the search for new ideas and input, you can always catch up on the anita handles. i can see on the screen for myself, my team from another side of the somalia story that too often is neglected. find the mainstream place on a sunny and some fold. somalia, we produce a lot. mm. ah ah ah, okay. i

was a young high out with that you found that i out a constituent making a bit of a living

with talk good to yes, i'm one of those with . 2 ah

ah, ah, economic terrorism, that's what a wrong foreign minister called us sanctions against his country as he rides in moscow. told the stomach republic of iran in its handling of the situation has paid special attention to the opportunities created by the sanctions and made the most of this to further the progress of the country. we believe that the sanctions policy is an effective and wrong and is a terrorist warranties. people's journalists say the american made a power surge and in chance, gpc think 2014 made an uprising and ukraine as a kid at washington had a 100 among others. as in stark contrast to the u. s. narrative, but it doesn't interfere in other countries. discriminatory via.
