Cut it off in todays program. We travel to Northern Cyprus and mike met for african students, but with maybe obstacles. Then we take a look at why many africans are parked in the box and moving abroad. Later, we focus on a guardian entrepreneur who came home from abroad to start again, change in p. R. Company. Migration is important and i swore this as to new ideas, skills, and resources. But whats more important is migrating safely. Unfortunately, in 2021 a lot more than 1000 africans died, attempting to reach spain, scrub canaria, island box up modality. Kara was lucky to survive that trip, but he wants more people to Pay Attention to the risk less dive into his story. The last few years have been a struggle for my de la can cut the young molly and dreams of boxing and the lumpy games. But its a miracle shes still alive at all. Modeling, toughest opponent wasnt in the ring. But at sea, he was still in my know when he boarded the fishing boat in montana to embark on an odyssey towards the kennedy island. What was the last day . I was still inexperienced and just had no sense left. I was so scared all the time. But when you find yourself in such an extreme situation, you eventually lose. If i also learned a lot about that for boxing, you have to go to your limits and overcome you see as otherwise your country medulla finally reached the coast of spain here at the small port on green canada. Even today, there still remains of the refugee both since my dollar arrived here more than 7 years ago. The number of migrants using this route has risen rapidly, and so has a number of those who didnt survive the crossing. Everyone is while the way of the risk says medulla, but theyre willing to take it for the sake of their families. 2000 kilometers away on the other side of the sea medallist family follows his every move in spain, half of molly, and live in poverty. The pandemic and various political crisis have only made the situation was from school fees to the ingredients for lunch. The money that marcella painstaking these fates together through boxing and kitchen jobs, all goes towards taking care of his family. But a mom for us, it is necessary for survival. He sent out to relieve us of our suffering medallist journey has brought a lot of good to the family and we know he works very hard and we know he doesnt have it easy where he is right now. When im not far from the familys house, is one of the macos by stations every day, young molly and set out from here to seek your fortune in europe like my de la some even remember him from around the neighborhood. I dont know yet. Weve heard of madonna, but hes one of us, but we follow his movements and everything he does. Hes doing a great job. One day we want to be like him, i dont, but i mean, i dont want to go to guy. I got, i hit one medulla, has mixed feelings about this. He knows that many of the young migrants will not survive the journey. And even if they do manage to make it to the island, most struggle to meet the High Expectations of the family medulla gives the new comers tips to help them find a way around the island. He knows they dont have the same opportunities that he had just a few years ago. The island is now overwhelmed with a huge number of arrival on top of this. They also need to contend with the pin demick and the few of the war and economic problems in europe. And i was lucky, but then there was hardly any under my grounds. I was able to do an apprenticeship and intention and finding a job was also much easier. But the last few years here have turned into a crisis. There are no longer 2000 migrants coming here every year, but tens of thousands. Thats just too many. But the situation is also increasingly hopeless in his homeland says model, or hes worried that the spain see rescue service will be very busy in the coming months. Unfortunately, because of the limited legal routes to my question. Stories like my dallas is very common and he is a part of a large extra dose of Young Africans from the continent. Some took their risky boiled rice weve just seen, while others look for education and new skills. But what certain is that . In recent years, more Young Africans are willing to travel abroad. So whats pushing them out of their homes into distant lance. More and more Young Africans are packing their bags and moving abroad as political instability and follow out from the cove at 19 Pandemic Take its toll. Across the continent. A good portion of africas youth are evidently hedging their bets elsewhere. According to the afternoon survey, 2022 from south africas incubate family foundation. Only 32 percent of the 4500 young people into you are optimistic about a with prospects, a drop of a legend to santa since the last survey in 2020. In fact, only respondents in garner and to wander thought their countries were moving in the right direction. More than half those surveys are considering moving to another country in the next 3 years. As a way to secure employment and education opportunities. This generation of Young Africans are more focused on their personal and entrepreneurial ambitions than their parents were actually 2 3rd believe they have better prospects than their parents. But their lack of access to capital to realize their dreams is that healing their desire to move abroad. About 60 percent of african population is under 25. 00. But right now there simply arent enough universities on the continent to cater to this growing demographics. Ambitions grants also need to contend with a frustrating paradox. While africa has a shortage of skilled workers in areas like technology, engineering, and health, skilled Young Africans remain under employed. Many Young Africans, heathclay, europe, north america, and china to try and secure their features. The irony of africa is that while its productive population most abroad, no remittance is sent home by these people help to develop a lot of these countries. But life overseas often comes with discrimination and exclusion. That is settling the story of this small island here in the mediterranean. Not in cyprus, has recently become a harp for african students. Many of them trouble here because tuition fees are cheap and a standard of education is comparable to some of the big european institutions. In austria, debate, i travel to left kotia or us, some would call it nick was caea to talk to students about some of the challenges they face. India adopt at home. No us you what this to beat. I needed to remember that northern cypress is had it facto state, only recognized by turkey. This 27 percent is in la kotia, in the northern part of cyprus. Now over the last 12 years, this part of the island has seen an explosion in universities. Many students come here to get education because its affordable, and the universities are great. But the challenges, and that is what this conversation is gonna be about today. My name is mike lety, and were going to delve right into the conversation. Im going to start with brutus om, talk to me about some of their disadvantages and challenges that you encounter. The issue of rent. The issue of rent actually has been one of the key issue that many times ive encountered most especially ive been over a year to well if and then i havent signed a contract. I mean, i mean hold on here and clarify this for us. So he lived in the apartment for about a year, year, and he had the one year more than a year, and you havent signed a contract. Yes. And then all of a sudden, to my other mas abbas few days ago, he met me on the roadside to tell me that theres an increment in the rent. So actually, why whys it does on equipment . Theres no notification pine. Notice what are you do on a house or making you to carry out the equipment and nothing said to me. So actually i feel like ive been spotted. I feel that much the last in the smell of the word, im going to put a general question to you both. You, brutus enter nice. How is accommodation like for you am as International Students, when others change as things are seen, him alive is here. And you will find a place that you like. So, and you wish out of the asian in that person would sexy and say no african the i have those messages may be hundreds of them in a phone with old on post, stop riding, thus, racism right. Docile racism sounds like right . Definitely. Definitely. Okay. And what was your experience here . As i gather she was say, you won an apartment, you put it out there, give interest into it, and then to tell you, i dont want black. I dont want black in this apartment. Now, this is the experience of the students, but the problems begin even before they get jolla on to the island. And this, theres a peculiar system. Im that some of the invest is used to recruit students on to this island in mono luxury is a ph. D student. And hes been researching this and many of the other issues that affect many of the International Students. And so emmanuel explained to us day a gen system used to recruit this am students. I mean basically, um you could say its a, its a criminal system to be honest. Im criminal in the sense that im to do a mislead student. In fact, we did a study recently and 50 percent of students. You said they were misled by your agents. Typically what was sort of misrepresentation. Would they agents give to the students in some sim cases . Right. Im the, or tell the student side you come into cyprus, not specifically the northern part of cyprus or the tyranny. See if you want to refer to either way that is not recognized. And of course you want as a question with technology, how come some students are not aware of this . And the question is something we have poor sometimes to agents because we know this agents as well. Some of them are students and they say, well, we contact parents and so the parents will have time to want, you know, check for this information to contact the parents. The parents are inch of fly tickets and you know everything with the agents. But of course, theres also different kinds of information or this information or misleading information, such as well, if you come year, you can get jobs, you can get scholarships. But the reality is, when the students who come here it is a complete different story, it is a nightmare which cannot be described in words. He can only be experienced capital. Im gonna push you right there. And then come back to you brutus. When you come in here as a student, ah, did you expect that you are going to be able to do some student job . Of course i do sped, that. Where were you able to do this . No. Her, im yet to realize that these were some of the information given to me by my agent. But since i came, i havent done anything like a popped on java. Shouldnt jar . Im come to you. Facilitate philosophy is a human rights lawyer. How often do students issues come to your table . Yeah, we, we hear about such cases. I especially with our partner institution, voice, cypress, and then in my institution, human rights platform. Im mostly focused on Human Trafficking cases that International Students, especially Young African girls, are exposed to. So we see a lot of cases where Young African girls are being deceived and recruited here by traffickers and later forced into sex work. And they are locked in private apartments most of the time, and we see that the student resides being abused by the authorities. So they come here with a student visa, but they cannot attend to the universe. It is because the traffic has locked them in private apartments and basically they have no freedom of movement. And we see that the authorities do not monitor the student. So where are they, what are they doing . And might, dont they go to the, in i said to frank law, i have reliable information as well to some of the universities in flip the numbers of active student. So its so to make it seem as though the majority of the students are actually in cross. Whats the benefit in inflating the number of students that you have . I mean its, its in terms of attractiveness. If you have more students on the are more active than immense, your university is probably doing something that is good. So its kind of like a selling point. I think the universities are even perpetuating the system by not regulating the agent at all. If i, even in college, in this traffic, in that many of the agents a villain, i involved because irrespective of all of those, you know, a stupid politics. These are your students. They are registered in your universities. You have a fiduciary duty towards the students exactly. To point and what responsibility, duties invest his bear. Well basically the law is not is absence in that regard. So as a manual highlighted, i agree with him that the major responsibility lies with the nurses, but also there is a high responsibility on behalf of the executive body is so the minister is at because they often fail to monitor how this universities operate and they are the ones giving the permission for new wants to be established. And i also want you to sound probably get some advice to young students, especially girls. Yeah, i will. I would like to tell everyone to be careful and the world really Good Research before theyre being brought here and to get in contact with their university is not to trust on personal agencies, especially the people that they made online, especially through instagram, for instance. Weve seen many fake profiles deceiving young girls, and if theyre in trouble, they need to actually access us or, or the police. So i would advise them to contact the human rights. Some we have a hotline as well. And so they can access to us and we will provide legally, we will be there. All right, great. Now denise, would you recommend modern say pros to people who want to come here and study on i will said no because of some of the issues are face year but yes for the level of education. Now we obtaining here, our new i want to add up to will, phillys will see a lot of times people just get people from the internet in just pack the bags and come i at sometimes im baffled in a way that in this internet a, somebody can i Just Research where you go into, even if your parents were the one thou would count, contact it ever International Student that ends are not supposed has an internet phone. So i think students, i want to come year. Yes, is a good place with some of the best universities around port 3. I research. If you dont have any form of soap ports, i can tell anybody to not come to notice cypress. So as she said, diori said before you come and also be aware that northern cypress is different from the republic of cyprus. And thanks also to that incredible panel of young people who decided to share your stories with us. And also realize that the problems that those students fees go beyond what is acceptable if you want to hear some of the initiatives that are going to make life better for african students, go to our youtube channel. And there you can watch a longer version of this to beat jasmine, all of those comments and emotions. I wonder if its worth making genies such as these be asked on our Facebook Page and you on said, oh, much um. It says that corruption and outside influence makes it very hard for us to create a conducive environment for the youth to see. All african countries might have strong leaders like poker, gamino for wonder, and the news, ambient precedent hoc i india hatch lemma to be able to move our continent forward and prosper. Harry angora says immigration is a normal phenomenon. Others from europe and the u. S. A. Travel to look for per trinity in africa. So why cant africans travel to these places . And weve got one last one from steph n here on our Facebook Page. It says i left the continent 5 years ago, and i realized that a lot has changed about me. Ive land how the rule of law has been upheld by lead us as citizens to fight crime. Ill encourage young people to take up the challenge by traveling out of the continent to pursue education and training. Thank you all for your comments. You can also share yours with us on our Facebook Page, d w. Africa. So far in this. Sure, we have talk about Young Africans who want to leave the continent, but there is a growing number who are retention initiatives like honest, your return and back to africa movement. Encourage africans nadar flora to come home to the continent and contribute to its development. Francisco who paul wanted to contribute, that is why after studying in the u. K, she decided to move back home to ghana and see what she created. He, ive had moments where my identity is inertial question. People dont really know it for you, and i think thats her chance other people, but it can affect you when youre trying to navigate in the world. And people keep putting you boxes and my name is francis castillo, and im based in a crowd garner dam. Joe, the creative agency, and that it up in 2015. And its main goal is we need to provide local, local resource solutions, Creative Solutions efficiency to arrange of International Brand, entering the market. We understand what International Brand one and want to achieve on the continent. He positioned ourselves as that bridge between local markets and International Agencies and we need together so they can enter the African Market in a way that really speaks to their brand. And they dont fall into the theme traps and the same mistakes that they make them. Theyre just being sometimes completely tune deaths. We have worked with massa, weve worked with alibaba. Weve worked with youtube. And recently weve added the nfl to that list. The nfl have over 100 plays in the nfl that are african or African Defense and, but had never really engaged with the continent in a way that they now want to do. So i went to the u. K. Went to 17 and i got into university, and i did so she elegy and policy in the, at it was quite the Culture Shock being in the u. K. And one of the biggest things to me that was a shock was being called black, which was very odd and growing up in a mixed re household. It wasnt really something that i ever defined myself by. Once i finished my masters, i always knew that i was going to go back to i think it was just a matter of time. And so a summer of trying to get work. I thought i can keep living like this. I had my ticket, i jump on that please come back. December 2011. Made my way back to to one of the biggest things is as a business, you know, really have access to credit in the way that other in other countries. Credit is sort of set up, so everything is bootstrap and everything is youve got to find the cash and some way to make it was over the next 10 years. I really one jammed out to cement its position as that home room agency across the continent. And that knows the continent and that is really guiding brands to enter the market because ultimately its our market and we know you know the things about that and give that inspiration to other agencies to do the same thing. I think for me, if youre going to move back to the continent, understand why youre coming. Be open to what it has to teach. You do come with preconceived notions of what it should be or how people should think or how people or how things should be, because its a different language. You have to learn a different language to get the things that you want. Im glad that francis is doing wash, laughs, and is successful at it. Another person who is successful or what a do aesthetic what he is an actor model and filmmaker, if you are normally would fun like me. You would know him as are the tiger in their netflix drama, king of boys. There were 10 of the king. He says, what are his formula for success . Ah, outside of the king of work with one of the kink was definitely there was a turning point. So before the, the huge publicity came from clink with boys. Most of the challenges that i had with want people trying to pull you down or to push doubt in you because you have to have your da city to do was they dont my name is did the could see im an outdoor model and producer.

Ledner talks in africa of groupon. And then there were, there were times that came with it and acted with heart. Many of them will plant unless you will is just b. Danni could in fact, because she saw my drive. She knew that i had, he had a game plan like i was going somewhere with his often. I think if asked, given canada, i would say took rewards thought out of her mind 1st. There was it. Oh, you are chasing it with combs. I promise you will find fashion in with a loan depot. It says, as far as it is recruited, squeeze will screw behind the screen. Fine partial puzzle will lead you up where youre supposed to be fine, passion, and whatever you do.
