a critical to producing the world smartphones and many of the electronic devices. in fact, it is the main source for natural resources needed for global technological advancement . the dfcs minerals which great lakes region has been played by violence since the 1990s. tensions re imaged in late 2020, when, when the rebels reap known as m. 23 began recapturing slaves of the territory. so do you see the un and western countries accuse window supporting rebel groups including m 23 in a bid to control the region, spice, mineral resources? glenda denies these allegations. are presidents all the d r. c. felix? she's the katie wasn't berlin and spoke exclusively to dw tina garrett hauser and wendy bashing about why his country is threatening legal action against apple. because this is designed to them

a quite simply so it may stop. it's been going on for 30 years. ever since the international community, aust, us to open up voters to the influx of refugees fleeing the genocide in rwanda vision. oh 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. the note that the us under the list on 3, i think that was on it a post lot and talk to that orlando is given a right in pursuit inviting itself into the democratic republic of congo. to hung down these people up the books i say see says, you know, see, there may model is a month. but unfortunately for when to didn't make the distinction, i will see my so also massacred congolese we though. and since then domestic

a hasn't ended. meaning to the one that they have a going to be number one to discover that they were minerals in the deals and we say contact and rolanda made contacts in the international community that enabled it to sell these block minerals for the the sure. now, i found the found the same, you know, you saw the mean i of the minerals obtained by using finance against our populations to force them to leave the localities where these minerals have found it, look at it, a dollar could not get on to see me and i will buy since then for linda has become the representative of these minerals for the international community for these multi nationals. luckily not that don't us on the

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 was all the only now it's 30 years later on or that plays off do you? this is why i said this been going on searching is officers on duty today. and use them, 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 money is yet to get the there's currently in the initiative be taken by golden president as well around so yeah. who's been appointed mediator in this conflict by the african union? yep. see, there's a, there's of a believe and he's already put full and piece initiatives on several occasions about, but they've all being sabotaged. every single was sabotaged by government and his regime to bounce off the the, the,

know some of them on down the if we really as a final trust, right. 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 restaurants that update the pace for you. but obviously that's not because of weakness. and we're not always going to be patient like this. wishing pos, once i also wait on that be because of i don't a citizen. yes because of that. does that mean that you're still prepared as agreed to meet the bulk of gum? may? is it to show the cause on the home phone? it is. i mean, i've always said that i never meet the m $23.00 a month. i'm sure that the 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 was 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 die wants to meet him, not to beg him or to negotiate and a thing with it 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 is a 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 to i'm a southern demo be it comes, you mentioned the multinational companies. absolutely. but maybe others to what do you expect from them cause that's on the opposite. that may be on this shortly. and this is the slide that you'll find out the investigations continue to say, mean, the most 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 is on possible at the bottom, then that transported a long trail was fine motorcycles to relent. but one though a lot and the, the stumped by an international and g a. we quote all that which obviously absolve some of the fact that the blood minerals pauses them off as if they were minerals mind in valenda, passing on. they passive onto say that they mean i explained one i said, putting on the need mr. president, jeff just expressed an expectation to the countries that host multinational. it's including the united states, i guess because of 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? those little metals around the america and zip. i don't think i can go as long as you know, i don't know, in this case what sanctions could be applied. sounds of it's up to the,

to just reach and think about it. and there was surely penalties and convictions for complicity in crimes that seem a lot. so i'm not expecting a specific sanctions such from that. just that goes as long as i know 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 really too good, is what level the companies will start to use, are ready to open the, discuss upon the ship to exploit these minerals and when, when model the impact or now yeah, oh, expedite this is see me and i was, i'm going to have gotten you on god, you know, have 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 have dealt with being aligned to extraction. the quite simply data in their big stocks you onto some bremo on the pano mean that

they take home interests that processed elsewhere. and then they come and sell us the finished product. we're going to have loop in. oh man, we want to develop our own value chain in the draw our sales really low as far as possible as it can extend l street a. sit down the path to now. yeah. and then in what i quote those when, when partnership stuff goes out. so i think we'll be able to find poverty while ridiculous by creating jobs on problem down the racing wells. and at the same time, have partners will also benefit from this publish it. so it will then i'll set out there now, you know, 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

telephone to have in your countries contained the blood of the congolese because they found the cause of ac not will be content. another song, big one way strong was that 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 wind and government to respond to the allegations and we hope we can have them on the program soon. the watching dw use after go still to come. after years of campaigning and negotiations gone of stolen, royal relics returned 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, beheld

a memorial procession in the town of literature. in 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 not over a decade earlier, on april 12th 18. 93 colonial troops attacked a nama settlement, and killed dozens of residents to date nama 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. 90 3 in the morning of the attack,

the chief inspector, all his men showed is to leave the village wolf to expectation that the gibbons sold to his war follows it. hendricks went with front of us. the germans attacked them from that side. so he to case, so just the men and they victory here thinking that the demons now were follow the men. he always felt that the men will fight only men and they left the women and the children at the settlement. but why did the germans did? they thought the poor ladies and the children the whole bed, the less on the other side, the distribution of spence cartridges found during the 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 onslaught were 88, almost 078 of them. women and children. additionally, around a 100 women and children were taken as captives that speak now to see my little pat from the not much traditional leadership association . she joins us from our info and, and maybe a welcome to the news africa. zoom out. now why is this incident 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 jim, upside is, a pro says it is not an event. and you know, the entire a colonial project was a project off till till at disposition of the people statement. and it's fact it was a transfer of april 18, 93 when germany used. it's a little actually paula and also a diplomacy to cite 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, a military war, but it was still to evaluation and of course on time. so i said the mission of, of the, the objective of this mission is to complete the ex terminate at the, the,

the point now 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 the systems by the, the, the, the nom, up people. and so my head over 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 overtime. 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 know, i'm pushing to have this official recognition of the on crunch massacre 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 d, humanizing. people that are not white of 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 any more. you have books, you'll well on our suffering on our dear own, i would write on, i would just position and this needs to change. and so the entire law global,

so the relationship needs to change and you'll need to repay and the way that we see the world and the economy 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, the, this is this, this is the challenge here and what need to be up present. so it's, it's called photo respiration. is actually a universal car for the patients from the entire unit to make. i think what they have done during the colonial test as you're taking this message forward, what kind of response have you been guessing? both of locally from your people, from your government, but also here in germany as well. um,

the response that we should be getting is a peaceful, the self denial in after independence in 1919 you know, the political struggles to come to terms with german club only unless i'm in 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 $9.00 to $19.00. and so in the 2006 of the nama is the overhead of, of 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, 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 pizza, violation of our right to sleep, um, participation and also to pre paid in full consent. so yeah, this is where we are, we have, we have put in motion a litigation process against our own government because we believe that almost everyone is also buying a thing or what, right? we have to listen to the, the, to the un, special for the test will have confirmed that i what i thought you did 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 match off 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, so not that 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 gone to precious artifacts looted 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 at the munch at palace, museum in commodities. the scene of the sunset had at kingdom the thousands of artifacts and now on public display at home, giving a rag glimpse into the history and culture. b, a shanty. yeah. terms include the $32.00 gold and silver treasures all stolen
