Quite simply so it may stop. Its 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 im on the at that point people involved in the genocide also slipped to see on that and 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. The 10100, at least down 3. I think that was on it a pressed lot, one and talk to that orlando was given a right in pursuit inviting itself into the democratic republic of congo. To hung down these people a book just as a seizure, no. See, their mother was in law, but unfortunately for when to didnt make the distinction, i will see my so also massacred congolese we though. And since then, domestic hasnt ended, meaning is the one that they have a going to be number one to discover that they will minerals in the deal. 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 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 where these minerals have found. It look at the dollar could not get on to see me and i a fellow 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 today. You book, he was a, was all the only now its 30 years later and how that plays off, do you . This is why i said this been going on searching is also due today and hes done. Congo, were seeing the presence of the m 23 measurement, which according to multiple statements by your government, is supported by rolanda. Do you plan to meet around as president polk . Im in the days to come . We are good morning dave, get the theres currently in the initiative, be taken by gold and president bush while our rent. So whos being appointed mediator in this conflict by the African Union . Yep. See theres a, theres over the, the, and hes already put forward piece initiatives on several occasions here about the but theyve all being sabotaged. And 1st thing was sabotaged by car gama and his regime to bounce off the the, the know some of the, im on down the have you, we really, its a final trust right. Dont that the, there was now what we believe to be last johns. And i wants 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 piece once i also wait on that, be the 25th of us because of that, does that mean that you are still prepared as agreed to meet paulk again . It is it to show the cars 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 sho. And it shows effect this fabricate to, to justify the aggression against my country. On top of the d. C was just a mom is just the feel august i see on the comfortable wont be that i am busy make on hey, i need to know the real address. The real criminal is pull coming up and i want to meet him not to beg him or to negotiate and a 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 he has little game is known to everyone either to me, its enough what hes done to my country and my 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 president . So maybe im is surely on this. Ill make the show you that youll find out the investigations continue. Obviously 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 filings and tara for you to make the populations living in these low calories. 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 pauses them off as if they were minerals mind in valenda, passing on. They passive on to sit them, you know, explain one. I 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 influence would the American Government have . The med, political, velma, america, and zip. I dont think i can get something. So i dont know, in this case what sanctions could be applied. Sounds of its up to the to just reach and think about it. There was surely penalties and convictions for complicity in crimes. It seemed well not. So im not expecting a specific sanction so such from den just it goes as long as i know that these are countries 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 on the level the companies will, thirtys are ready to actually discuss upon the ship to exploit these minerals and when, when model the dr. Now. Yeah. Oh, expedite this is assuming that a demo debit gotten, you know, got, you know, some 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 dont being aligned to extraction. The quite simply data in their big stocks you onto some bremo on the pano mean they take home interest that processed elsewhere. And then they come and sell us the finished product known, develop a new man. We want to develop our own value chain in the deals ourselves as far as possible as it can extend l street. So not the path to now. Yeah. And then in what i quote those when, when partnerships us just how its i think well be able to find how much it was ridiculous by creating jobs, south bronx, and tracing wealth. And i did the same time, have partners will also benefit from this publish it. So it will then ill set up an audio by example. So apple will negotiate directly with the d. C. Thats going to be the democratic people, of course, with the democratic republic of congo. Why would you want to negotiate with a common c for whos doing business on the backs of debt congolese you saw on your telephone to 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 ocean, t k. To namibia, now we have ro and nama communities have been commemorating 120 years since the genocide of the fall, fathers, by colonial forces. They held a memorial procession in the town of literature. And whats now an annual ceremony in 2021. Germanys government apologize for the killings which made up the 1st genocide of the 20th century as german soldiers wiped out tens of thousands of hiero and now my people. But these brutal events were not the 1st of their kind by the gym and suite. Over a decade earlier, on april 12th 1893 colonial troops attacked a nama settlement, and killed dozens of residents today. Now my defendants want the hon. Cronsa massa, as its 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 defendants accounts and 3 the visualization to investigate what happened on that crucial day in 18. 93 the morning of the attack, the chief inspect it for his main. So it is to leave the village wolf to expectation that the gibbons sold his war follows. Hendricks red with fond of us. The germans attacked them from that side. So he to case, so just the men and they victory here thinking that the german style were follow the men he always felt that the men will 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 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 9 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 jim upside is a process. It is not an event. And uh, you know, the entire, uh, a colonial project was a project off till till at disposition of the people they meant. And its fact it was a trustful, april 1893 when germany used. Its 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. Whats 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, 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, im the number from a co when people of cobra was whats 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 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 whats going in future. The general site thats not happening with an event each have evidence over time. And so what qualifies this . As a 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 surface. Right, so thats what qualifies it for you did not. Oh the said, you also carried out that the intent is so youre pushing to have this official recognition of the home current uh, 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 a d, humanizing. People that are not white. All of 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 ideas of people. And they are the so you know, some people being lets say 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, youll well on our subsidy on our desk, on our right, on how would this position and this needs to change. And so the entire last global, so um 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, the, this is the, this, this is the challenge here and what needs to be up present. So its, its called for the operations is actually a universal car for the operations from the entire unit to make. I think what they have done during the colonial test 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 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 route 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 9 to 19, 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 paramount chief, i believe. All 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 ro, negotiations and the tool governments that said that they are going to talk by naturally, but 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 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 one to age. We ask people justice. Okay, so not that 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.
