Bernard smith, alger 0 parts and alices here as rosalind jordan has been speaking to us secretary of state anthony blinking about why washington has so far avoided calling developments. And these are cool. And what efforts the us is making to improve Food Security in sub Saharan Africa. And to me blinking us secretary of state, thank you so much for talking with us here on al jazeera could we with you . Thank you. So my 1st question is about 2 key and related priorities for the us. Improving long term Food Security in sub Saharan Africa as well as restarting the black sea green initiative. Theres this rolling perception that i think is not correct, that restarting the b s g, i will immediately help african countries deal with their Food Security issues. Can you help me understand why theres this confusion is a, the b s g. I more about making certain that global food prices arent skyrocketing and helping to sustain ukraines economy in the midst of a war. Well 1st of course the of the effect on food prices is good for everyone. No matter where you are, even if youre not a direct recipient of the, the grain of the weight thats getting out of ukraine or that was getting out of ukraine into the blacks. The grand initiative, the fact that it was helping to keep prices low is good for everyone. In fact, since russia tore up the agreement, weve seen prices go up between 10 and 15 percent, and that hurts everyone, including throughout africa. But take a step back just for a 2nd. You know, this initiative never should have been necessary in the 1st place. It was only necessary because russian invaded ukraine. And then having done that, blockaded sports, including odessa, where most of the grain most of the week was getting out. The agreement reached by the United Nations by turkey actually allowed the grain to start flowing again. The result was that more than half of it was going to developing countries. 2 thirds of the we was going to developing countries, including many in africa. It was the equivalent of 18000000000 loaves of bread. Now thats been taken off the market because russia decided to tear at the agreement. And since then, as i said, prices have gone up for everyone. And those countries that were getting grain and, and we did particular from ukraine are getting it. And thats bad for everyone. The vision plan that you outlined that the Human Security council last week is a Long Term Plan to help africans, right . Trees develop their agricultural sector. What can the us and the west to do right now to help countries that at the best of times have trouble providing enough food for their citizens . Well, 2 things. First, the most immediate thing anyone could do would be to have, let them recruit and get back into the black sea grand initiative that would immediately have an impact on prices. And it would get more food product on the market, including for developing countries in africa. But having said that, when i was at the United Nations last week, i also announced the additional 350000000. 00 in Food Assistance to go directly to 11 african countries as well as the 80, since the russian aggression against ukraine, about a year and a half ago we, the United States have provided 14 and a half 1000000000. 00 to strengthen the Food Security for countries around the world. But especially in africa, weve done an emergency response, which i know is critical. Were, by the way, we, the largest donor by far to the world food program. We provide 50 percent of his budget. By comparison, russian provides less than one percent of his budget. But were focused on 2 things. Were focused on doing everything we can to get countries, the Emergency Assistance they need. But also, as you said, to work at the same time on helping countries build their own sustainable productive capacity so that theyre not victims again and again of um, everything from Climate Change to coven, to now conflict, all of which are disrupted the production of food and the supply of food, so we have major initiative, some of which i talked about at the United Nations to help countries do that. Its heavily focused on africa, but i believe the capacity is extraordinary. The potential is extraordinary. The sustain focus that were bringing, i think will bring results. But in the meantime, Emergency Assistance for countries that are being buffeted by by conflict is usually important. File thing is this. At the u. On last week, 91 countries signed onto a declaration saying that food should not be used as a weapon of war as russias now doing a new crime. And speaking of crisis very quickly. So are the situation in the share will be us, say, this is now a cool so whatever you call it, what weve seen is the disruption of the Constitutional Order a new share. And we like many countries throughout africa and notably equal loss, which brings together many countries. And in west africa is determined that um, the Constitutional Order, the reestablished, thats what everyones focused on right now. So from our perspective for the United States, um ive been in close contact with president bassoon, with many leaders throughout africa. And everyone is working towards the same objective, the restoration of the Constitutional Order. Theres plenty more head on this news.
