They allowed g found an eastern p, a c, a volatile region with rebel groups. Profiting off to the no mining, the dfcs claim is the minerals of smuggled from its territory to rhonda with a loan that and sold to upland up by us from around the world. Apple has 3 weeks to respond and the d. C. Government is report to p, looking into all the 2 options for its pod. Apple denies the accusations, the company said it has found no reasonable basis to conclude that any of the 3 team, minerals, and its supply chain financed a benefit to groups in the region, minerals from the d. C, 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.

These allegations are president s, all the d r. C. Felix to security wasnt berlin and spoke exclusively to data these teen gear houser and wendy bashing about why his country is threatening legal action against apple nipple because of this dis, optima quite simply. So it may stop. Its been going on for 30 years ever since the International Community last us to open up voters to the influx of refugees fleeing the genocide in rwanda vision. Oh, see the one to a, a small uh 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 witness because the oldest had been given from somewhere still within the International Community. And to let them in with that weapons or not, i want to know that the us under the list down 3. I think that was on the oppressed lot. Went down to that orlando was given a right in pursuit inviting itself into the democratic republic of congo. To hung down these people books just as a decision to see their mother was in law. Unfortunately for when they didnt make the distinction, i will see my so also massacred congolese we though. And since then, domestic hasnt ended down meaning to the one, the way of, of going to be number one to discover that they were minerals in the deal. And we want that. And rolanda made contacts in the International Community that enabled it to sell these Blood Minerals for the the sure. Now i found out 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 dollar, kid is not getting on to see me and i am the free though by since then for linda has become the representative of these minerals for the International Community for these multi nationals. Luckily not that dont us or not because it is, i mean its the national not a what do i need to do . Yeah, you just mentioned the 1990 is going for london. Refugees came cause a book. He was a overall the only now its 30 years later and how that plays off, do you . This is why i said hes been going on searching is also due today and hes done. Congo, were seeing the presence of the m 23 movement, which according to multiple statements by your government, is supported by rolanda. Do you plan to meet around as president polk . Im in todays to come. We are good morning dave, get the theres currently an initiative be taken by, im going president bush. Well lorenzo, whos being appointed mediator in this conflict by the african union. Yep. See theres a preserver please. And hes already put fluid peace initiatives on several occasions, but theyve all being sabotaged every single, sabotaged by government and his regime to bounce off the the, the know some of them on down the have you, we really, its a final trust, right . Its not that the there was now what we believed to be a last chance. And i want to give peace a chance as much as possible. Doing the shots that update the page for you. But obviously thats not because of weaknesses. And were not always going to be patient like this. Wishing pos once i also wait on that, be the 25th of us because of that too. Does that mean that you are still prepared as agreed to meet paulk again . It is it to show the cause on the home phone with a minimum wage said that i never meet the m 23. 00 a month. Im sure that because as i said, its an empty shell and it shows a fuck these fabricated to justify the aggression against my country on top of the d. C. Was just the amount is just the feel i get i see on the comfortable wont be that i am they say make on here. Lead to the real address. The real criminal is pulled coming on today and on bob and i want to meet him not to beg him or to negotiate. And the thing with him for the long, its to ask him and tell him clearly i to why that hes a criminal, that enough is enough now and that his little game is known to everyone either to me, its enough what hes done to my country and like people, and its time for him to leave the territory, the soil of my country, the 30 to im to some of them will be it comes, you mentioned the multinational companies. Absolutely. But maybe others to what do you expect from them just give was that on the, on president . So maybe im is shortly on this. Ill make the show you that youll 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, the song possible at the bottom then that transported a long trail was fine motorcycles to relent and foot. Wonder a lot. And the, the stumped by an international n g a, we quote all that which obviously itself, segments the fact that the Blood Minerals pulses them off as if they were minerals, mind land passing. And they say passive on things that they didnt. And i explained one i said, putting on the need, mr. President , jeff just expressed an expectation to the countries that host multi nationals 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 influence with the American Government have the med, political, velma, america, and zip. I dont think i could look as long as you know, i dont know, in this case what sanctions could be applied. Sounds of its up to the to just reach to think about it. There was surely on penalties and convictions for complicity in crimes. It seemed well not. So im not expecting a specific sanction so such from that just that goes as long as i know that these are countries with the judiciary is free, independent and efficient on it. Because its what this kind of just is to touch this type of traffic. And the traffic is your to good is on the level the companies will, thirtys are ready to only discuss upon the ship to exploit these minerals. And when, when model the that back to now. Yeah. Oh, expedite this is assuming that a demo debit gotten, you know, got, you know, have a mazda is because of all these misfortunes, mazda, this wealth, has cost us that i have to capitalize on that by saying we must dont being aligned to extraction. The quite simply data in their big stocks, the onto some bremo on the pano mean that they take home interest that processed elsewhere. And then they come and sell us the finished product on the loop. And remember, we want to develop our own value chain in the draw our sales really low as far as possible as a can extend l street. So non be about doing now. Yeah. And then in what i quote those when, when partnerships, thats just how its, i think well be able to find how much it was ridiculous by creating jobs on prompts and tracing wealth on them. And at the same time, have partners will also benefit from this publish it. So it will the most about the value of buying something. And so apple will negotiate directly with the dsp thats going to be the democratic people, of course, with the democratic republic of congo, who get why would you want to negotiate with a common c for whos doing business on the backs of debt congolese, you saw telephones you have in your countries contained a lot of the concrete, just get a phone, a good was of easy, novel be content. Another song, big one more day, strong, was that from felix to security president of the democratic republic of congo in to watch the full interview on youtube channel. Weve 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, has stolen royal relics return home to the ashanti, came to namibia. Now where i have read 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 whats now an annual ceremony. In 2021. Germanys government apologized 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 with 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. Nama descendants, want the hon. Cronsa massa, as 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 chief inspector all his min. So it is to leave the village to expectation that the gibbons sold here is what follows it. Hendricks red with front of us. The germans attacked them from that side. So he to case, so just the main and they retrieved 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 thought the poor ladies and the children the whole bed, the less on the other side, the distribution of spent 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 on so were 88, almost 78 of them, women and children. Additionally, around a 100 women and children were taken as captives speak. Now to see my little pat from the not 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 uh, you know, the entire, uh, a commodious project was a project off til til at disposition, all the people statement and its fact it was a travel, april 18, 93 when germany used it. Uh, lets see, power 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. Whats not only, you know, uh, lets 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 x terminate at the, the, the point number of people. And so, yeah, this is how the entire Genocidal Campaign stopped it. A year later, im the number from the co when people of columbus. Whats executed by firing 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. Also going in future, the general side thats not happening with an event each have happens over time. And so what qualifies this . As the genocide youre 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 thats what qualifies it for you did not only say he also carried out that the intent is so youre pushing to have this official recognition of the home client 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 of um that thats, thats what the project was about. And the entire relationship between the global law and the global south is based on the colonial idea of people and they are the so you know, some people being, lets say human beings. But only very 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 have, but youll well on our suffering on our desk, on our right, on our, this position. And this needs to change. And so the entire global last global. So the relationship needs to change and youll 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 oneill system in contemporary politics and, and yeah, but this is this, this is the challenge here. And what need to be up is that its so its, its called photo respiration. Is actually a universal car for the patients from the entire unit to make. And i think what they have done during the past as youre 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. Um, the response that weve been getting is a peaceful this of denial in after independence in 1919, you know, the political struggles to come to terms with german only. And as im really started to take root, because during the colonial period, you know, before independence, it was how that you can 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 1919, and so in the 2006 of the nama is the overhead of a people join forces to put a, a motion in the numbers, the parliament through the paramount chief. Um, the reason why i called right and uh, this motion puts in place, you know, mechanisms that we could use to be mind. But im fortunate to be the government did not listen to to us. Because we said we want a try, lets well negotiations and the tool governments that 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 prepare 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 by and they thing or what i, we have to listen to the, the, to the un, special to protest 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 michel of justice. It is not a matter of development a its were not, were not asking for the delinquent age. We ask people justice. Okay. Same as well. Thats all we have time for but well have to leave it there for now. So im a little bit from the nontraditional leadership association. Thank you very much for speaking to us. Thank you, sir.
