Forced out of School Violence while nearly 2000000. 00 children of an education in west and Central Africa why on groups attack in that schools and whats come be done to ensure kids learn on flying this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program im hashim. Summer holidays are almost over for children in the Northern Hemisphere but many kids wont be returning to class in west and Central Africa the u. N. Childrens fund says armed groups targeting schools teachers and students unicef says more than 9000 schools in the region have closed due to violence 3 times the number of the end of 2017 which means nearly 2000000 children are missing out on an education. The unicef report examines increasing threats and attacks in 8 central and west african countries nearly half of the schools closed in cameroon where more than 600000 children are not going to classes in mali attacks on scores doubled between 2017 and this year in Central African republic the number rose by more than a 5th and School Closures due to violence have gone up 6 falls in brooklyn a fossil mali and nisha. Lets bring in our panel in johannesburg patti nachle chief of the unicef Africa Services unit and the lead author of the report in accra ghana. Executive director of the west Africa Network for peace building and in my degree nigeria my. Teacher based in borno state welcome to you all better were talking here about an increasingly alarming situation but what about the name cause is it instability of the violence or a combination of different other factors. Well basically we have 1900000 children being pushed out of their education being pushed out of School Across 8 countries in western Central Africa for in security reasons for violence as well as threats of violence i myself for instance visited to put in a fossil a few weeks back and there the what we see is that the reasons most of the schools are closing is because of threats of violence they see that that schools have been attacked in other villages there are rumors that are coming through that this school will also be attacked so basically children are kept home and in often is the case as well obviously you know entire villages are being displaced because of that fear of attacks so we have a combination of think the root cause is insecurity and it is fear and that is making parents keep their children at home rather than sending them to school to clinica why is this fear gaining momentum in different parts of the west and central. Africa i think the 1st thing is to upload it that is the cycle when you have the levels of. The standard of education that we have in west africa especially you look at the increase number of militants and violent extremists then you begin to now make a connection between what has happened in the past and what is happening today so if you look at. Region like the not part of nigeria we have elite literacy level is over 65 percent Little Wonder why we have the issues relating to volunteer stream is in the diary 2 john and now what happens is that when you have a level of illiteracy that we have which increases the number of out of School Children especially be male children they go on fact all these laws and then the education of banda continue to go down on daily basis so the next was between these what happens within the disaster. Curity. Is what you begin now to imagine not just about today but even about tomorrow so if you look at what has happened over time thems of the standard of education and what is happening to be Little Wonder why we have what we hope. My do in my jugglery an area that has been targeted many times in the past by book give us an idea about challenges you face and daily basis to convince families to send their kids back to school in the not if we know we have been challenge and our target then was teach us over to total 500. 00 teach us our being cute wearing to try to start it here in the open 50000. 00 a cup dusty there we have to run for our lives we migrated to the rural areas in different areas extended to ride it out of there started attempting killing teachers there we need to come back to about it where we showed the little mall security personnel then coming back to the rear of the infant us schools who are being burnt on daily basics teach school been attacked in university it is have to be closed down and shouldnt do not have access to scoot over time before the introduction of distorted i could use to be on duty if we fall we now have to duck to send out some of the militant into bach to put it down knowing the obama sent us i was done when we started our work it started at work and started calling but today that see the education cannot wait that we have to come back to school that were not the root cause of the if you thought there thought this is just me. Because if you trace the photos to reduce it to 10 years to come back to school that education cannot which does what you havent. Looked at in the past see your with for talks about girls like boko haram saying that western education kababs islamic values is that it begs the question about the namath task if they see in the future to convince local communities that that argument advanced by those groups doesnt hold ground. Yes we know this this is across the countries that we have been looking at that education what is perceived as western style education is at the bottom or the core of some of the conflicts in those countries which is why as unicef we try very much to work hard with the local community with the local community and to come up with local solutions because unless the local community is with us and feels that the education is coincides with their values then you know these these solutions are not going to work we have introduced for instance in nigeria we basic Education Skills and education curricula in koranic schools we work with local community elsewhere as well to make sure that that parents are involved in the education of their children this is not a solution that had that can be imposed from from the exterior we work very much with with Community Based solutions and that is really one of the solutions that we have to scale up and work harder at as we move forward if we are to respond to this very concerning situation as as one of your guests was previously saying education is very much key i spoke to one priest in northern in Northern Book in a fast or a few weeks ago who was telling me that without education there is no development and this is these are in many cases parts of the world that are severely underdeveloped that have a huge issue with children not accessing school to begin with out of school the number of up to School Children for instance in in mali and elsewhere is very high and you that you add to that the attacks on the schools and the attacks on the education and you see how that situation is actually compounding in the Ripple Effect of that is not only going to be felt today in the Current Situation for these children but also for their families and their communities moving forward if you dont educate a child today whats going to happen to that child when he or she grows up as an adult and therefore. Family and their community and their countries so this is really something that we have to take into consideration and the solutions really have to be long term. Arent we here talking about failure of governments because its their argument goal which is to provide security. For its own citizens and protests schools if you look at the investments in education our system over the years by many of the African Leaders this will confirm exactly the unicef report the low level investments in education has created some of these challenges were seeing today and it begs to question the whole idea about the africa continent our free trade zone we are we are looking at the the youths and the leaders of tomorrow being the production engine for that for to make that africa continent that 3 trips on excel but if you look at the quality of education compounded now by the issues of peace and security which is not allowed to keep going to school at the moment we have over. 300 are something to keep that out of school and making the teacher asked redundant most of them are not going to school because they cannot teach and then he keeps are also out of school so it gives you a whole idea about everything around what we have to do to our compound then in the realm of the issues of governance defeat and leadership challenges that we have on the continent to some a does this is the talking here about raising awareness you live in a state that was suddenly the headlines all over the world in 2014 with the chip book schoolgirls kidnapping since thats kidnapping have you seen a change in the mentality of the people the way the government is reacting to address this particular problem. In your own area. In 2000 photos of 30 insurgents i dont know about the kidnapping of each book yes then there was an in my squad in my school just look at it i did not is time cannot do state that extreme and cannot escape and ive missed several attacks in that area thats called khalidi global name are being spread kind of a community and ive been through an attempt to school before you need to have had an intervention in the school and it seemed teach us a world. That culturally diverse. And u. P. S. Is that a Psychosocial Support to teach us does the best at least it is best to does it where using money to an hour to get a new study butte and not a thought brought us that is to teach us the most of our teachers found it that if we how did very hard that is to share in our say what that in meant to in our social relationship or to put an artificial to each other what weve done in television what it would to money our school and it shouldnt and we have Development Plan we know how to stitch on the security personnel around the school we have their contact. I know so we also see. We have also to step down to fit into the community we involve the Community Members that in the Larger Community and we have their contact that everything anything didnt the partying or i would advise to dinner how to walk in that in peers to school not in learning this on remember that in 2 years it doesnt look them but to terrorize they would think they have been attempting in my school that you just could not be attempted i would have 50 thought one blast about for just about 200 meters away from what we do if you short of this training by unicef which it would to come down our students and not least look them down under school very different get out and its ive been very helpful and very good experience im definitely going to expose those give me an opportunity to at least a quite a bit in the education in be a member of it you know my ideas are working group. According to a lot more and i must say really brave of you know the children and the thomis to insist to taking their kids schools despite what you have been describing passy resilience is one thing but then the spread of those attacks by groups affiliated with al qaida. These line extensions in Subsaharan Africa in different parts of the west and Central Africa is is another thing. Took us through the ill turn it is that youve put into place to try to put an end to this phenomena. So basically in the schools that we actually that are still functional and as our teacher colleague in my degree was saying we offer a package of support to school so that they to make them safer for children to be in and for teachers to actually perform their duties. But in situations where we dont have a school or to at all for instance i was in mali this week and visited a displacement camp in mopti in central mali which has seen a rise in attacks actually in recent in recent months what we have is we can offer at least Safe Learning spaces a turn it of learning spaces in these camps so that the kids at least can access some form of basic education and are given some basic Education Skills numeracy literacy that kind of thing while in displacement in other parts like in Northern Iraq in a fossil which is also very much a country an area of concern for us because of the rise in security there we offer together with our local partners we offer radio school basically we developed broadcasts that are there are broadcast in local languages 5 times a week in 3 different languages in northern brooklyn a fossil where kids who arent able to even leave their homes let alone go to school at least can be at home and listen to a radio we offer these radio sets and they can listen and learn something and we are also reaching for the 1st time kids through have never been to school before through these solutions as well so again this is about you know taking into consideration that long term effect we have such a huge problem with out of School Children and many of these countries regardless of conflict but now the conflict is obviously making things worse but to call in a co would that those alternative blood forms like the broadcast like the would be would be enough given the fact that were talking about a huge number of people forced out of those schools and do do you think there will be enough. Sources to try to cope with a new alternative what were also talking about most of this region challenged by technology so even getting such technology to the orms these are so very challenging the 2nd is that we also need to look at the psych er logical disposition of these kids to learn at school serious trade. If you look let me just give you a little bit of statistics which i think that is part of it is also reflected in the unicef report 220000 i. D. P. s in book you know if i so and over if i was on 900 schools including 500 in this i hope of these shut down leaving about 90000 teach us redundance so how does this now contribute to increases in the level of peace and security challenges that we have on the region is what we are now faced with as a serious issue on our hands so when that are often it is nice too it gets in these kids yes they are available example of what could leap from. A degree and also the unicef colleague already mentioned but we also need to understand that kids aged boss order why are some peer relationship to be able to learn better you know not most fair that they feel is not just conducive for for lennon but also for 4 or 40 patient or whatever its the these thoughts. My degree have a patsy from unicef listening to mecca from west Africa Network for peace what what you have our viewers all over the world watching you give us a sense about the immediate needs the stuff that you need not. For you to be able to convince parents kids to come back to school and provide them with alternatives to tools so that they will continue to learn by a thought of 30 despite the challenges and your population that i have known is called my school and my Community Just like you post community and the actually thought effort and if i mean even to what youve been about populated enough for now but my advice to parents and largely for the Larger Community is that the children you cheatin of the poor whom ducted people fit to train actually it would not make your dates are that you discover its peace you children of the poor who do fear to train would not make make that shouldnt have peace that its better that we all come together to walk in and i cleave to support at least some of the schools in any way or the order or no doc to be to try no socially or do these things i choose to make you forward thats who were talking about children who have been traumatized by conflicts and by war people who come from poor backgrounds some of them were displaced so ultimately were talking about need for massive psychological support to help them recover from the trauma and learn isnt this an exceptional moment that would it acquires not on in nasa Financial Resources but also a comprehensive plan where the International Community should be on board. 100 percent we turn to to local governments to make sure that they perform their duty in ensuring that schools are safe havens for their children we turn to our humanitarian partners to work with us in order to make sure that this is becomes a reality on the ground but we importantly turn to the International Community to our Donor Community and make sure that they step up 70 percent more than 70 percent of our humanitarian education emergency programs are actually underfunded so we need everyone to come on board and make sure that every child has access to education at every child even if theyre in books in a fossil even if theyre in cameroon they have a right to education thats the call that we make today. What baffles me personally is that you have the African Union with this 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development that says that we need to transform the continent into a better place to live and thrive and the facing problems like this and it would seem to be on top of their own agenda. Well i think African Union is doing its best but i think its also if period that we need to start a conversation between at the level of what a lot right relations saw the kind of arms and ammunitions that is used in africa to exit use violent extremism we need to ask questions about the origin and destination the level of corruption in in africa especially among some of the lead us and then be the cost to receive between the african elites and africa political elites and did this initial we had a stolen money caused because some of these stolen money are supposed to be used to develop the education aspect and then of course the the kind of illicit forms that that goes away from africa illicit arms and ammunition that comes into africa i think this conversation need to take a different level while we continue to besiege africa lead us to do what this should do i think its also important that this kind of mortal a problem by law crowded nations and accountability needs to begin to take place i see a point my dog oh whats the situation like now where you live is it getting worse or is it improving our families willing to take the risk and send their kids to school or they are more reluctant than ever to send them back to school. It calling my community is really walking and roll mythos increased tremendously at least we have enough we see need more classes at least some of the classes are not even enough for at least talk of pi the last enrollment has increased that we know education i see right we do not neglect we do not at least we we that if we know we did wed help of the community and outro are good to see their own methods increase Everyone Wants to be in a school the school has now busy be and has been you just like a child friendly space all children want to be in school and dont let us increase we need support thats a small class isnt that its asking proof to those. But c c c now we have some good news coming from my degree by the same time the concern is about the infrastructure the number of more kids not finding the right place. There would shelter them against the backdrop of this how concerned are you about the future of west and Central Africa what kind of impact we have on those countries if the number of students dropping out of school and schools closing because of instability and violence increases in the future well thats a huge concern for us of course because as we know when children are up after school theyre much more likely to become victim to traffickers they are much more likely to end up in Child Marriage for girls much more likely to basically have their futures ruined by their lack of access to knowledge and education so this is really something of concern we also know that the number of children is increasing in that part of the world across africa saw so this is education placing education at the center of the conversation is really important and we often look at me in this part of the world through the jews strategic lens or security lens and wed like for once to peel that away and to bring children back to the forefront because thoughts those communities and the civilian communities are the ones paying the highest price less than a minute please if you can is an issue that has been debated in africa white since independence and the failure has been phenomenal in many parts across the continent whats the biggest problem here are we talking about lack of political will from the political elite or is it a purely economic thing the budget for education is not enough and therefore what we see there is a normal result. I think that view because nazis dont you so hes a major problem most of the educational systems are any bad from the colonial masters and that have not changed or by put up by but i also think that image at issue here is governance diffuse which is these is direct reflection of the luck of we would need a political elites to invest in education or to see the nexus between quality education and the future of africa thats seen akhil took a mccain as a my dog oh my god she already appreciate your time and your contribution to the program and lets all hope that tomorrow would be a better day for children across the african continent and thank you for watching you can see the program again and its time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com for further discussion go to our Facebook Page thats facebook dot com for was last a.

S. President donald trump is urging American Companies to close chinese operations is added that hell be responding to the new tabs and for. Later on friday well kristen salumi is standing by for us in new york were going to go to go to her shortly 1st White House Correspondent kimberly halted in washington d. C. This response by china was kind of expected cant believe but the way that the u. S. President has reacted is something very different. Right donald trump is knowing that he is in the spotlight for this ongoing trade war with china and as a result of the fact that many are concerned this may now be sparking a recession or at least an economic slowdown after so many years of strong growth here in the United States the president is looking for someone to blame and that person is the head of the Federal Reserve or the central bank in the United States your own power the president lashing out in a series of tweets on twitter putting forward criticisms of the central banker essentially saying that he are asking the question who is now americas bigger enemy is it jay powell as he calls a or chairman she the chinese leader this is a pretty strong tweet from the u. S. President and he also in these series of tweets said that he would be making some sort of announcement but weve been left hanging as to how the u. S. President might respond we know that he is meeting with this trade officials at the white house but in terms of how this escalating trade war between the United States and china moves forward is really in question leading to a lot of uncertainty we do know that there was a tentative phone call to take place between the chinese negotiators and the u. S. Negotiators try and set a timetable for discussions in september between the 2 sides to come to some sort of trade deal now that is not only being in left in doubt but how things move forward in terms of discussions at the f. Coming g. 7 meetings is also a bit of a question mark we know that the United States asked the World Leaders that there. Piece of discussion about how to combat the issue with china with respect to trade and its growing influence the president is expected to leave washington in the coming hours to head to those meetings so were watching very carefully to see what the president might say but in the midst of all of this he has been very pronounced in terms of his anger leaving many people wondering sort of what the next step is in the midst of such uncertainty kitty thanks very much for not i want to bring in kristen salumi in new york whos done just looking at the dow jones figure at the moment its been seen around that kind of minus 500 drop mark the markets really have responded quite strongly to this 7 day. They sure have and you know whats really interesting it wasnt the announcement that china was going to retaliate with tariffs on some 75000000000. 00 in goods that sent the markets plunging it was the tweets from the president that saw the market shoot down things were level at the open today but when the president tweeted that United States companies needed to find an alternative to china to bring production back to the United States that Swan Investors really got spooked all at one point today 95 percent of companies that trade on the u. S. Markets that are listed on the u. S. Markets were down and their training apple was down the National Retail federation has issued a statement in response to what the president said saying that its costly and time consuming to find alternative supply chain so clearly and best years are very spooked and the market to be fair has been turbulent on worries that the Global Economy is slowing not just because of a potential trade war but also because of slowing growth in europe and china President Trump though stoking those concerns with his tweets not only against china but also against as kimberly was mentioning the Federal Reserve chairman chairman Jerome Powell who earlier in the day actually promised to try to contain the trade war and keep things going but caution that there was no playbook no rulebook for what was happening now and not giving a clear indication of where he was going in the future in terms of rate increases and whether or not. That would continue and suggested that he would be cutting Interest Rates again the next go around but did not announce any steep cuts like the president has been demanding so thats weighing on investors as well so clearly a very tumultuous time breaking out here and the new york stock market christine thank you very much indeed i want to bring in stone voyageur hes a resident scholar at the American Enterprise institute hes joining us from washington d. C. We appreciate your time. Thank you it seems somewhat surprising that given the fact that the president seems to be placing such a great store on the Success Story that he believes is the u. S. Economy that to tweet Something Like this some provoke such a reaction in the markets would come as almost a complete surprise to him how are you reading whats going on here well i think the most straightforward explanation is that President Trump has been hard line protection is for as long as hes shown any interest in any Public Policy issue really going back all the way to the 19 eighties and if one of your goal is to implement protectionist policies thats you know ultimately thats what you want to be in office for ed thats not i think something we should completely disregard i agree with you on the other hand that it harms his political standing i think quite a few of his supporters. Support him mostly because the economy has been strong so far i think theres quite a few voters that democrats could be alive if the economy weakened significantly and you know to deal with that of course President Trump has called on both the Federal Reserve and the congress to go ahead and loosen Monetary Policy and fiscal policy to compensate for these misguided protectionist trade policies that are one of his central priorities as we mentioned before the president is one thing u. S. Firms to pull themselves out of china and disassociate themselves with with trading in china in practical terms how likely is it the firms are going to be either prepared to do that or actually able to do that. Well its not very likely i mean obviously a lot of firms could do that would be to make it much harder for them to compete obviously consumers all over the world would lose access to relatively cheaply produced goods from china. The way in which the president phrased this which was that he here by ordered u. S. Firms to do this is obviously say a break from traditional support for the Free Enterprise system as voiced by american president s i dont know how much affected will have but obviously with a new senate the president has been able to interfere pretty aggressively in u. S. International Economic Policy there are supposed to be trade talks going on between the u. S. And china in the next few weeks what do you think the chances are for those talks now well in the i think they will they will continue i think obviously theres a situation that is going to be hard to to bring. In which is going to be hard to bring the parties to an agreement weve seen as collating tariffs obviously today china retaliated against the most recent round of american tariffs america has more terror scheduled for both september and december. President trump today referred to the chinese leader as his enemy. You know that that doesnt look good especially when underlying all this is president drums deeply felt protectionist instincts and i doubt that he really has an interest in what would you know be considered a win win trade agreement voyager from the American Enterprise institute we appreciate your time thank you very much indeed these are the current figures from the dow jones index at the moment showing off from the New York Stock Exchange at one point i was watching our probably about 30 minutes ago that reach down 530 points and at one point it peaked at about down 540 it has been bouncing around the 50510 mark now were going to keep an eye on that we should point out this is an average index over 30 American Companies of one stock 30 each of those 30 companies it is a general indicator of trading in those 30 companies its not an exact figure of the level of trading thats going on in the market but it does give you a sense of the mood of the market as weve just been talking about ok brazils president says he may send in the army to battle fires burning through the forests but its already being labeled an International Crisis that needs Global Action french president emanuel not chrome wants urgent talks at this weekends g. 7 summit and hes been joined by Germanys Angela Merkel and the u. K. s baldest johnson we begin our coverage with this report from heidi joe costume. Dramatic video captures the fury of the flames eating away at the Worlds Largest rain forest this is just one of several 1000 fires currently consuming swaths of the brazilian amazon and the world is watching were very concerned about these fires both for the immediate damage that theyre causing and also because sustained force is crucial in our fight against Climate Change the amazon produces 20 percent of the worlds oxygen thats why its called the planets lungs but environmentalist warn if the burning continues at this rate the rain forest will transform to a landscape resembling the african savannah and rather than produce oxygen the antidote to Global Warming the former rain forest will humid carbon instead in brazil sister very soon difficult situations but for the 1st time we have this kind of situation that was created almost with official encouragement from the government Environmental Groups a ranchers and log or started the fires to clear the land.
