The new National Museum in the democratic republic of knights in the bait. And these rare mountain gorillas where close to extinction but thanks to sustaining the Conservation Campaign they are here to stay. Hi. Youre welcome to the program east africa is in the thick of a brutally unusual review season and its set to get worse 2 tropical storms are expected to hit the region in the coming days 4 weeks torrential downpours have triggered landslides and flash flooding but that toll stands at 250 with some 3000000 affected but growing fears of starvation and disease outbreak that is due to warmer temperatures in the indian ocean in a moment or get the latest on the response from nairobi but 1st this report from the submerged kenyan village of. These floods may have killed scores deprived thousands of their homes you know they threaten to wash away the dead. Not if these villagers have anything to do with it. Any less moaned. A bomb goes late wife. Were putting big rocks on top of the grave to prevent the coffin from coming out due to these floods. The dire have only compounded the grief joseph married his wife just last week oh you mean at least the person buried here is my mother in law when we woke up we found that the water was almost removing the coffin from the grave. With the greed fixed attention shift the evacuation more is on the we and like many here david a group who is desperate to get his family and their things to higher ground. But no one here can escape the devastation this extruded weather has and. We dont have farms to cultivate and even our cows were taken away by the flood waters so we have a big problem. If you are jewish rebuilding process will have to wait for now survival is paramount. For more on this our correspondent joins us from nairobi kenya. So clearly people still need help how much support are they getting from the government. At the moment its truly very difficult to gauge because this is a situation that is unfolding as were speaking so government is sort of trying to do preventative work as well as search and rescue but there has been quite a little bit of money thats been pumped into this the government of kenya has put in because of a length of about 2000000000 u. S. Dollars and i do know that the u. K. U. N. Emergency fund has also contributed 3000000. 00 so quite a lot of fundraising being done in and around this issue as i said as its unfolding so what is the meaning of people right now. Right now for the ones who have survived obviously it is just that initial trauma some of these people have lost not just their homes but family members life stalk their entire life who because were talking about entire farmlands being swept away this is their main source of income and beyond that its went to sleep where to get food these are all institutions which have been sucked away so were sitting seeing a situation where people are conversing rather converging desperately of schools and hospitals but they simply not enough to go around so were seeing quite a bit of respiratory diseases and fording and theres still a big question as to what will happen to the number thats still being added lets talk about long term effects here what long term effects called all of this have on the region. Well we do know that there will need to be a serious pump on infrastructural redevelopment roads and hospitals which have been swept away as they said but the immediate threat is diseases malaria which is already on the rise in some of these regions is now threatening to take back rather to take up more lives and more of a bigger concern in the region is Food Security this is a region the horn of africa which has just come out of a drought and now there are floods the food that was supposed to be harvested will no longer be there so there is a huge huge concern on Food Security not just in kenya but in neighboring somalia and south sudan as well ok now more rains are expected throughout the month of december how prepared is the region to handle does he do. Not very in fact the government of kenya together with the governments of the countries that ive spoken spoken about asking for International Assistance and this is not something that was expected its not unusual to have rains at this time of the year we call them the short trains but to have them be so rather the water levels to be so high is what is unexpected and were being told its because of the heating of the indian ocean so theres a huge conversation or a bigger conversation to be had about Climate Change and how to mitigate any of these future disasters ok either the money you correspondents in kenya thank you. Now National Museums are supposed to reflect the nation right but what happens when last fall its about history housed in collections around the world many artifacts where take you know we do in the colonial era its a question being asked in the democratic republic of congo where your new museum has just opened its doors. Its vestiges of the congos past on display in kinshasa the 12000 pieces trace its history this is d. R. Congos new National Museum. The building was completed in june bankrolled by south korea it replaces the old National Museum which has long suffered from poor conditions and neglect. When president felix you see katie inaugurated the new museum he expressed the wish that artifacts removed from the country under belgium colonial rule be returned. Though many former colonial powers are reluctant to repatriate african art. Its one thing to demand their return and another to preserve them the idea is there but it needs to be done gradually. If we need to recognize the belgians helped us to safeguard the art so we cant just take it all back it must happen in an organized manner and. Much of the art in question is housed here at the Africa Museum on the outskirts of the belgian capital brussels king leopold the seconds colonial rule over the congolese was notorious for its brutality based on racism and extracting resources the Belgian Museum recognizes that many artifacts were gathered during military campaigns and it says its open to the return of some items if theyre found to have been acquired illegally. But for kinshasa its about doing whats right not arguing over legalities. Jim its legitimate for belgium to accept the restitution of the artworks because the artifacts do not have the same significance. Because you know that its not just about geography its about culture its about returning the work back into the culture of the people. Who work. In the Museum Opening ceremony its korean builders say they hope the museum will forge a sense of National Unity but critics of the project have said its been less about whats inside and more about the building itself. Congos government has yet to officially ask belgium to return any artifacts but if they do arrive the congolese have a new home for their cultural heritage. Now that is the mountain gorilla their way on the brink of a stink but after a Concerted Campaign the number of mountain gorillas in rwanda has begun to increase the total number has risen from 680. 00 a decade ago to more than 1000 today there are states as a stream from critically endangered to just endangered so how did that happen heres a closer look.
