years. ever since the international community, aust, us to open up voters to the influx of refugees fleeing the genocide in rwanda there's, you know, see, the will wonder if i'm on the at that point people involved in the genocide also slipped to see on the, on a fusion and they entered the d l. c with the web on this because the order had been given from somewhere still within the international community and to let them in with that weapons are not going to know that the us under the least down 3. i think that is a place to the doctor that orlando was given a right in pursuit inviting itself into the democratic republic of congo to hung down these people up books just as a decision. no, see, there may mother was a month, but unfortunately for when they didn't make, the distinction would seem so also massacred congolese we though,

and since then domestic hasn't ended. the meaning is the one that they have a going to be number one to discover that they will minerals in the deals. and we want that. and rolanda make contacts in the international community that enabled it to sell these blood minerals for the the sure. now i found the found this, i mean i, you saw the mean i of the minerals obtained by using finance against our populations to force them to leave the localities with these minerals are found. look at the date dollar could not get on to see me. and i we know by since then for linda has become the representative of these minerals for the international community for these multi nationals. luckily note that on us on

for say minutes, the national not when you do need yeah. you just mentioned the 1990 is going for london. refugees came cause a book. he was a overall the only now it's 30 years later on how that plays off. do you, this is why i said this been going on searching is also due today and he's done. congo was seeing the presence of the m. 23 measurements, which according to multiple statements by your government, is supported by rolanda. do you plan to meet around as president polk? i'm in the days to come? we are good morning, is yet to get the there's currently an initiative be taken by i'm going president as well around so yeah. who's being appointed mediator in this conflict by the african union? yep. see there's a, there's a leader and he's already put forward piece initiatives on several occasions here. i bought it, but they've all being sabotaged. every single was sabotaged by car gum and his regime to bounce off the the, the know some of them on down the if you, we really,

it's a final trust rice don't that the, there was now what we believe to be a last chance. and i want to give peace a chance as much as possible doing the shots that the fish perceived. but obviously that's not because of weakness. and we're not always going to be patient like this wishing piece on this. i also wait on that, be the 25th of us because of that to does that mean that you're still prepared as agreed to meet paulk again? is it to show the cause on the home front where it is? i mean, i've always said that i never meet the m $23.00 a month. i'm sure that because as i said, it's empty show. it shows a fuck these fabricate to, to justify aggression against my country on top of the deal. c. o is just a mom is just the feel august i see on the content won't be that i am they say make on here. lead to the real address. the real criminal is pulled coming on to the

north and i want to meet him not to beg him or to negotiate and a thing with him for the dom on. it's to ask him and tell him clearly, i to why that he's a criminal. that enough is enough now and that he has little game is known to everyone either to me, it's enough what he's done to my country and my people. and it's time for him to leave the territory, the soil of my country. do i'm a southern demo be it comes, you mentioned the multinational companies. absolutely. but maybe others to what do you expect from them because that's on the opposite. that may be, i'm is surely, and this is the slide that you'll find out the investigations continue to say, mean of a similar serious thing is that these minerals are extracted from the congolese subsoil at the price of blood on the as i said by using violence and terror for you

to make the populations living in these localities. fleet l street that is on possible at the bottom, then that transported a long trail was fine motorcycles to relent. but one the a lot. and the, the stumped by an international. and yet, we quote all that which obviously absolves them as the fact that the blood minerals pauses them off as if they were minerals mind in valenda passing on. they passive on to say that they mean i explained. one said putting on the need, mr. president jeff just expressed an expectation to the countries that host multinational, including the united states, i guess in the case of apple. so what exactly are you waiting for? what kind of sanctions, what kind of incidence should the american government have to for the med political, velma, america, and zip. i don't think i can get something so i don't know in this case what sanctions could be applied. it sounds like it's up to the to just reach and think

about it. but there was surely penalties and convictions for complicity in crimes to that same law. so i'm not expecting specific sanctions such from that just that goes as long as he knows that these are countries that with the judiciary is free, independent, efficient on it, does it what this kind of just is to touch this type of traffic and the traffic is your to good is a level the company's societies are ready to open the discuss of punishment to exploit these minerals and when, when model the impact or not. yeah. oh, expedite this is assuming that a lot more they've gotten, you know, got, you know, was of a mazda is because of all these misfortunes that this wealth has cost us. that i have to capitalize on that by saying we must don't being aligned to extraction. the quite simply data in their big stocks,

the on to some bremo on the pano mean that they take home interest that processed elsewhere. and then they come in sellers the finished product. moving on digital bit. no ma'am. we want to develop our own value chain in the d. c. our sales who's really low as far as possible as it can extend l street a. sit down, be about to now. yeah. and then in what i quote those when, when partnership stuff goes out. so i think we'll be able to fight poverty while ridiculous by creating jobs on problem down the racing wells. and at the same time have partners will also benefit from this partnership. so it will then also about the value by example. so apple will negotiate directly with the d. c. that's going to be the democratic people, of course, with the democratic republic of congo, who get why would you want to negotiate with a come and see who's doing business on the backs of debt congolese,

you saw your telephones you have in your countries contained the blood of the concrete, just get a phone call was as easy and i will be content. another song, big one more day, strong was the from felix, just a katie president of the democratic republic of congo. in to watch the full interview on youtube channel. we've off the london government to respond to the allegations and we hope we can have them on the program soon. the watching the domain is africa still to come. after years of campaigning and negotiations gone of stolen royal relics, return home to the ashanti came to namibia. now, where have ro and nama communities have been commemorating 120 years since the genocide of that full fathers, by colonial forces. they held

a memorial procession in the town of literature. and what's now an annual ceremony in 2021, germany's government apologize for the killings which made up the 1st genocide of the 20th century as the german soldiers wiped out tens of thousands of hiero and now my people. but these brutal events will not the 1st of their kind by the gym and sweep over a decade earlier, on april 12th 1893 colonial troops attacked a nama settlement, and killed dozens of residents to date. now, my descendants want the hon. cronsa massa, as it's known, recognized as the 1st genocide against it falls off, is now a new documentary. it shines a more light on the event. it uses open source material descendants, accounts and 3 d visualization to investigate what happened on that crucial day in 18. 93 the morning of the attack,

the chief inspector for his main short is to leave the village to expectation that the gibbons sold to his what follows hendricks read with front of us. the germans attack them from that side. so he to case, so just the men and they retrieve here thinking that the german style were follow the men he always felt that the men were fight only man. and they left the women and the children at the settlement. but why did the germans did? they attacked the poor ladies and the children, the whole bed, the less on the other side or the distribution of spent cartridges found during those field work indicates when most of the exchange of fire took place.

supporting the oral accounts, the germans attacked the village directly to you from the east killing dozens. the reported number of victims of this on so what 88, almost 78 of them, women and children. additionally, around a 100 women and children were taken as captives speaking now to see my little pat from the now my traditional leadership association, she joins us from our info and, and maybe a welcome to the the, the news africa. zoom out. now, why is this incidents the mastic of 1893, not well known today? yes, um, unfortunately, we seem to think about general site is something that happens in the home and the

site is a pro says it is not an event. and uh, you know, the entire, uh, a commodious project. was a project off til til at disposition offer pete all statement and its fact. it was a travel april 18, 93 when germany used. it's a lucky paula, and also a diplomacy to site protection treaties when the number of people say that they are not going to find any protection p t. germany decided that they are going to use a full but this post. what's not only, you know, uh, let's see what it was still to evaluation. and of course on time. so i said the mission of, of the, the, the objective of this mission is to complete the ex terminate at the, the,

the point, not my people. and so, yeah, this is how the entire genocidal campaign stopped it. a year later, i'm the number from the co when people of cobra was what's executed by fighting squad full. so refusing to assign a protection p t s 92. 04 was really just a combination of a, of these systems by the, the, the, the nom, up people and the overhead overall p, both right? a gauge of colonial occupation. so this is why the state is so important. but unfortunately, we see a general side as an event and not as a process. and this is what we need to understand what's going in future. the general site that's not happening with an event each have evidence over time. and so what qualifies this?

as a genocide you're saying is the extermination of the people, which is the intent, the intent of extermination. you said she and misty, who? you said the purpose is to exterminate. now exterminate means you are going on a genocidal purpose. right, so that's what qualifies it for you did not only say he also carried out that the intent is so you're pushing to have this official recognition of the home crunch maslick as a genocide. what impact would that have both for the nama community? uh, domestically and internationally. um the impacted digital test is to question the whole of the whole course load the project. the entire

portfolio project was a project of a d, humanizing. people that are not white to um that, that, that's what the project was about. and the entire relationship between the global law and the global south is based on the colonial ideas of people. and they are the so you know, some people being less like human beings, but only barely sauces are good enough in order to, to both the live out of the global know. and now the people of the global cells, a saving. we will not tolerate this anymore. you will have books, you'll well on our property on our dear own, i wouldn't write on, i would just position and this needs to change. and so the entire los lobos,

so um relationship needs to change and you'll need to repay and the way that we see the world and the economy and, and, and global politics needs to change because it continue to operate on the principles of colonialism. we are living in a new o'neill system in contemporary politics and, and yeah, but this is this, this is the challenge here and what needs to be up present. so it's, it's called for the operations is actually a universal car for the patients from the entire human to make. i think what they have done during the colonial test as they're taking this message forward, what kind of response have you been getting both locally from your people, from your government, but also here in germany as well. or um,

the response that we've been getting is the response of denial in after independence in 1919 you know, the political struggles to come to terms with german only and this, and then the stop to, to take root. because during the colonial period, you know, before independence, it was so that you couldn't colonialism before that. it was german colonialism and, and that period did not allow for the voices of the people to be heard. it was only after 1990. and so in the 2006 of the nama is the overhead of all people join forces to put a, a motion in the numbers, the parliament through the kind of mom. she's a legal, i cool. right? and the, this motion puts in place, you know, mechanisms that we could use to be mind, but i'm fortunate to be the government did not listen to to us. because we said we

want a try and let's ro, negotiations and the tool governments. they've said that they are going to talk by naturally from state to state or, and this at some violation of our rights to sleep um participation and also to be paid in full consent. so yeah, this is where we are, we have, we have put in a motion, a litigation process against our own government because we believe that almost everyone is also buying a thing or what rights we have to listen to the, to the un, special for the test will have confirmed that i would write that indeed being violated and we will continue to look for everything is to continue taking germany also to court. we are not ruling out going to the international court of justice because this is a michel of justice. it is not a matter of development a it's we're not,

we're not asking for the delinquent age. we ask people justice. okay. same as well . that's all we have time for but we'll have to leave it there for now. so i'm a little bit from the nontraditional leadership association. thank you very much for speaking to us. thank you, sir. and gonna precious artifacts, newton by the british, during that colonial rule have been restored to the owners, the shanty people, but only temporarily because the items have been given back on loan. the event marking very tend to place a dementia palace museum incapacity the scenes of the sunset had at kingdom, the dozens of artifacts and now on public display at home. giving a rag glimpse into the history and culture via shanty. the items include $32.00 gold and silver treasures all stolen during the 19th century and blue ashanti was,
