A 2020 Academic Year has been cancelled. Then whats brewing in uganda well find out why coffee is a demand in the nation off teetering. Hello im kristie one to welcome to news africa its good to have you accompanied the European Union has said it will defend the International Criminal court against attempts to undermine it the e. U. Is the latest as situation to stand behind the courts off to washington sanctioned top officials in the hague now the i. C. C. S chief prosecutor 5 tubin sudha and her top aide bucky so much will have been blacklisted by the trumpet ministration over the coals investigation into the way the us forces committed war crimes in afghanistan now on wednesday the us navy. Just ate my own pail announced the sanctions on sudan accusing the i. C. C. Off huntin uing to talk its americans in june the trumpet ministration authorized the imposition of economic sanctions against foreign persons directly engaged in i. C. C. Efforts to investigate u. S. Or allied personnel and those who materially assisted in those in the in that effort today would take the next step because the i. C. C. Continues to target americans sadly pursuant to the 2nd order 13928 the United States will designate i. C. C. Prosecutor 52 bensouda and the i. C. C. As head of jurisdiction complementarity in Cooperation Division buckey so much to go for having material assisted prosecutor bensouda individuals and entities that continue to materially support those individuals risk exposure to sanctions as well additionally state department has restricted the issuance of this is for certain individuals involved in the i. C. C. Its efforts to investigate u. S. Personnel. So there for more on this database told me a lot of bull joins me at the big table tony good to see you sir tell us little bit more about the sanctions that. Are and well the u. S. Is not signatory to the i. C. C. So it cant withdraw in protest when something happens the i. C. C. Has no assets that the u. S. Can freeze or what does it do it targets individuals from the i. C. C. Right like to bensouda now these sanctions put her and her colleague under a list of specially designated nationals and blocked persons on this list includes members of al qaeda and isis drug dealers you know thats the kind of company that shes considered under. No if youre a terrorist hiding somewhere thats different when youre under this list but if youre somebody whos going around in the streets traveling trying to conduct business like i too would be doing then youre locked off and this essentially cut her off from any u. S. Business that operates and thats to add to the fact that shes already had her visit visa revoked that was done in 20 u. S. Visa in 2019 right ok so. Tell me i remember the last time the us went off to an African Holding position and the senior guys asian the deputy. They were there thank you for that you know he was under attack and we saw virtually every president of the african continent jump up to his defense this looks like a similar thing to me right you have this african woman under attack essentially for the work that shes doing and. Nobody saying anything on the continent the difference here is that the i. C. C. Has targeted some of these african countries in the past when relating to some of its cases when it comes to genocide and comes to war crimes and in fact in 2017 the African Union backed a Mass Movement in africa to exit the i. C. C. A lot of african countries felt that the i. C. C. Was targeting african countries and so if you look at cases like Omar Al Bashir former sudanese president who was under arrest warrant by the i. C. C. You also have kenyas president who are kenyatta as well who face charges those are just some of the examples that african countries felt were unfair ok lets talk about Fatou Bensouda as you mentioned she is the i. C. C. Stopper ski just so they know about her her tenure at the course well for to consider as the 2nd i. C. C. Prosecutor she followed Luis Moreno Ocampo as an argentinean and under his tenure there were 2 about 12 investigations that were run 10 of which focused on africa and so when 5 to consider came into office a lot of african countries felt well this is a way forward now maybe at least as if he thought maybe this would be a way of appeasing the africans ok and i and fact have been so they did go after other countries apart from cases in other countries apart from africa so she is actually nearing the end of a tenure she should finish her tenure next next june but its come at a time where i mean she has been looking to she has raised her pro. To a point but i think with all these cases of the african attitude towards the i. C. C. The u. S. Which of course is the major player in the world also opposing the i. C. C. I think that tarnish is the achievements that far to bensouda has has made all right tony i mean we must leave it there but we know that the e. U. And various other what has asians i the i. C. C. Itself have come out what has happened the decision taken by the United States told me as always thank you for coming in but that it. Now next story is in kenya where the government has cancelled the 2020 academic as part of its response to the koran a virus pandemic now thats left some 17000000 than is across the country out of school. Travel to talk talk thats near the border with tens anea to meet one of them. 2020 was the beginning of an exacting new chapter for vincent too Little High School but in mid march in response to corbett maintain the kenyan government closed all schools including Higher Education the measure disrupted the lives of nearly 17000000 students across the country for 16 year old to little its meant hiding his family cuttle out in the wild rather than pursuing an education.

One side or 3 of the students looking up to the cattle could be at risk because.

An imprisoned in the water from killing life but if the. Students we do not get time to do this. And its bodes well i know. But experts believe theres a lot of walked down before schools can safely reopening kenya. Being the 1st point to really be training for our teachers once weve done the training then we need to look at our infrastructure for example if all building was able to accommodate a group of 20. 00 how can we use it. Goes to noble as do social distancing. For now schools remain closed for the foreseeable future. Which but its yet another day of hiding cuttle for too little counting down the days until hes able to resume his dream of an indication that perhaps over time could change his life. Now to a trained brewing in uganda and i promise this is the last of the miserable and the puns today t. V. Has long been a preferred drink.

Europes museums are full of art that was stolen and looted during colonial times artifacts that are quite literally drenched in blood a new w. Documentary looks at how african nations and experts view the question of repatriation and also coming up. Colombian artists. Confront the legacies of spanish colonialism both with art history and society. And after the devastating explosion one month ago in beirut the citys cultural scene is shellshocked and see. The debate about how or whether to repatriate art that was acquired by colonial powers most often under brutal circumstances has been raging for some time in the capitals of europe not least here in berlin where the citys long contested who is preparing to house vast ethnological collections of stolen soul is a new documentary that tries to illuminate this debate and get africans to weigh in on possible solutions. Africas colonial overlords brutally strip the continent of countless Cultural Treasures the fate of these items is debated in new d. W. Documentary stolen sold africas looted. People. Are like prisoners friends. In their prison. Germanys ethnological museums are brimming with artifacts amassed overseas bought traded gifted and leave well over 1500000 of them the issue has politicized the european art sector like no other topic in recent memory. I get the impression that our debate here tends to remain very eurocentric if option one is talking to africans and asking them what they envisage. For example what to nigerians in visits for the famous spending in bronzes in 897. 00 the British Punitive expedition to bennys city the troops looted the royal crown is stealing fair. Thousands of valuable bronze in ivory works and distributed them to europes major museums. Or young people can see that some in 3 percent. Of. Nigerias contemporary art scene is one of the most vibrant in africa like it nneka art gallery in lagos the gallery owner. Would love to see the bronze is back in the country but shes well aware of the challenges. That. The documentary stolen soul collects voices from europe and africa and ultimately poses multiple questions to which there are no easy answers. Indeed well joining me now is the author of stolen soul i would didnt from the w. s documentary department welcome to the studio and wrote such an impressive overview of this issue youve brought us and yet its hugely complex the scope of your film is of course so much broader than what weve seen as a visual anthropologist what were you trying setting out to do with this film i had read a lot about what European Museum experts and researches thought about the issue of restitution but there often i felt like African Voices were a bit more of a side note so we tried to change that perspective and to really listen in what african opinions were out there and what i found was that the ideas and hopes of what to do with looted art a very diverse and its also very controversial debate within african countries so i was really struck by that quote that ethnological museums are like prisons from the one prince and yet the finishing touches are being put on berlins home but for many people asking the question whether there will be anything to put in it whats the solution in your opinion well 1st of all i think its quite unrealistic to think that there will be nothing to fill the museums. We saw in the film that there was a return there with my bible to namibia but there was still quite an exceptional event restitution are rare and the museums are not emptying out now when it comes to solutions there is no quick fix. The problem is that for a very long time germanys colonial legacy has not been addressed by museums or by the public in general so what museums could do is they could work even closer with post colonial initiatives and bring the debate to the museums and when it comes to freeing the objects from the prison aspirins commando ms says it needs a Legal Framework and Political Solutions ok so obviously thats an issue that needs to be taken up with the politicians as as weve talked about earlier and thats perhaps the subject of your next film. With any with at any rate thank you very much for bringing us this Job Well Done and stolen soul for our viewers is available on our you tube channel d w documentary so do be sure to check that out and thanks so much for coming into the studio today and. On the topic of rejecting the rules imposed by colonialism in our mini series well look at how foreign born artists who are based in germany are salvaging cultures that were sidelined by.

All wondering how they have the balls to do it at in a place like colonia you can be killed or a cat in danger how you go and who is pinned app in the street and you fied the whole thing corralled.

We ceased to must be choosers to work with vulnerable communities as he says no life is more important than another. The paris of the middle east is how beirut was once described a vibrant city with a live for the moment philosophy that was on crushable despite years of civil war destruction religious strife and corruption a thriving cultural scene was also a spring of hope until august 4th when 2700 tons of Ammonium Nitrate blew the citys port to smithereens. In the days following the explosion anger in beirut through not a single building was left on damaged in the residential area behind the poor in recent years and not seen had emerged harking back to the cosmopolitan beirut of old many hoped it heralded a more liberal minded city now this hope has been destroyed.
