[00:00:10] Welcome back, you're watching TRT World, I'm Neil Harvey, and these are your headlines:
[00:00:14] three people, including two children have been killed in Saudi led
[00:00:17] coalition air strikes in
[00:00:19] of Yemen's Taise province, according to Hoothiron media, the strikes coming as
[00:00:23] Saudi Arabia, it said it would respond firmly to hoothy attacks that injured
[00:00:27] of 13 civilians in three Saudi cities. The UN says fighting in
[00:00:31] Yemen has forced 125,00 people from their homes since
[00:00:35] just
[00:00:35] of the start
[00:00:36] of the month. At least 18 thousand households or
[00:00:39] 125,00 people have been displaced since the start
[00:00:43] of the month. The toll on civilians is increasing. Between September
[00:00:47] 1st and today, our colleagues at the UN human rights office have verified 40
[00:00:51] civilian
[00:00:51] of casualties. It run state media says a drone
[00:00:55] striker assit two Iranian fishing boats along the straight of Horamouz leaving
[00:00:59] several people missing. a separate incident, Iran's revolutionary guard says
[00:01:03] an oil tanker exploded and caught fire after hitting
[00:01:07] mines in the waterway, but the US military disputes that account saying the
[00:01:10] tanker was struck by Iran and rendered inoperable last
[00:01:13] month. A Russian drone attack
[00:01:17] killed one person and knocked out power in parts of Ukraine
[00:01:20] of Zaparia, and Kiev's mayor said that the drone
[00:01:22] of hit of a petrol station in the Ukrainian capital early on Tuesday, injuring
[00:01:26] one person. In the black sea, vessels carrying military. to Ukraine were
[00:01:30] hit, while port
[00:01:31] of infrastructure in Odessa also came under
[00:01:33] attack. Former Columbia University student
[00:01:37] and pro Palestinian activists Mahmoud Khalil has filed a lawsuit against the
[00:01:41] university. Khalil was arrested by immigration agents in March
[00:01:45] 2025 after he took part in protests against Israel's war on
[00:01:49] Gaza. He accuses Colombia of laying the ground work for the Trump administration to
[00:01:53] target him. President Trump's also
[00:01:56] lashed out against concerns over artificial intelligence. saying
[00:02:00] efforts to limit the technology a part of what he's calling
[00:02:03] a sick conspiracy. his comments come after the leaders of three
[00:02:07] major tech companies have called for the government to have greater oversight of
[00:02:11] in AI. and the US Supreme Court has blocked
[00:02:15] President Trump's attempt to tighten mail-in voting rules just weeks before
[00:02:19] of November's mid-term elections. The White House wanted to block mail-in ballots
[00:02:23] from voters not on list provided in advance to the US Postal
[00:02:27] service. critics so argued that the president the authority to
[00:02:31] rewrite election rules at the
[00:02:33] of last minute, that think your right up today, do stay with us as the
[00:02:37] news continues on TLT World with African
[00:02:39] matters.
[00:02:44] of
[00:02:54] of
[00:03:11] Welcome,
[00:03:11] of I am Brenda Zadaradido and this is Africa
[00:03:15] matters. The UN general assembly has voted to
[00:03:18] in adopt a new world map that shows Africa's true size.
[00:03:22] It was backed by 164 countries and
[00:03:25] of only opposed by the United States. Could changing the
[00:03:28] of map also change how the continent is represented and
[00:03:31] seen,
[00:03:37] for decades, the market projection has been used as the world map, but it
[00:03:41] makes the African continent appear smaller than it
[00:03:45] actually is. now look closely at the makita map, the
[00:03:49] one classrooms and institutions have used for generations.
[00:03:53] it distorts size by enlarging areas near the pools while
[00:03:56] shrinking Africa in comparison. now here,
[00:04:00] Africa sits alongside Europe and North America at
[00:04:04] their true relative sizes. The difference is
[00:04:07] dramatic. At over 30 million square kilometers, the
[00:04:11] African continent is bigger than you've ever seen it a
[00:04:15] map. Set question, so this issue goes far
[00:04:18] beyond just the sphere of map making or cartography. It
[00:04:22] has to do with cognitive justice, with access to precise
[00:04:26] geographical knowledge, the dignity of people,
[00:04:29] in history. memory and the fight against
[00:04:32] of representations that we have inherited and have influence
[00:04:36] on perception. now the resolution led by Tugo and
[00:04:40] supported by the African Union
[00:04:42] of secured overwhelming support from
[00:04:44] of 164 UN member countries that voted yes. now
[00:04:48] six nations chose to abstain from the vote while the United
[00:04:52] States was the only country to oppose the resolution. instead of
[00:04:56] focusing on genuine problems of international peace, prosperity,
[00:05:00] of good relations, this body is debating map projects from the 16th
[00:05:04] century and their role in promoting
[00:05:06] of reparations and cognitive justice. resolutions like
[00:05:10] this one and the ideological agen they promote, our
[00:05:13] barnacles on our
[00:05:15] work here, and the reason this institution is losing its
[00:05:18] credibility. now the UN vote has drawn mix reactions from
[00:05:21] across the continent, we went to the streets of Johannesburg, compala
[00:05:25] and freeetown to find out what people think about the new map, here
[00:05:29] is what they had to say. the size the map can just be used
[00:05:33] as something in passing, but it doesn't change perceptions about how
[00:05:37] Africans can make their countries better. i don't think the size the map
[00:05:40] mattered that much. accept that is factual error that was
[00:05:44] made, i can say vividly and strongly that it's going to
[00:05:48] influence more people on our view Africa, because when
[00:05:52] they will be making decision the will say, we don't need to forget that African map
[00:05:56] is big now, we don't need to forget as Africa territory is
[00:05:59] large, we don't need to forget that the population of Africa is bigger than
[00:06:03] before, if new map has been adopted for the world, that means
[00:06:07] even what is being taught in schools to the
[00:06:11] levels of uh... grade one until the
[00:06:14] university, that means that actually has to be changed, that means we
[00:06:18] have to go back and recheck the policies we have. let's hear more from Victor
[00:06:22] Makonyebu, he's director of grants, programs and
[00:06:25] partnerships, Africa North Filter Foundation, he joins me from
[00:06:29] Lagos, Nigeria, Victor, thank you for joining us here on Africa matters,
[00:06:33] you're one the people were behind this push to ensure that Africa is
[00:06:37] well represented, but when we look at the mekat map projection versus
[00:06:40] the equal arth projection. why did your
[00:06:43] organization run the you know campaign correct
[00:06:47] the map campaign? the met
[00:06:50] projection was produced in the 16th century
[00:06:54] as a tool for european navigation and it
[00:06:57] subsequently became the world's most widely used
[00:07:01] projection in classrooms in in
[00:07:05] media houses, policy spaces and just generally
[00:07:09] within the society, which shouldn't have been the case.
[00:07:13] um, the challenge that this map projection
[00:07:17] has is that it systematically distors
[00:07:20] spill um, obviously for
[00:07:23] navigational convenience, here's what it does, it
[00:07:27] inflates the spaces that are closer to the poles
[00:07:30] like North America, Europe,
[00:07:33] Russia, Greenland, all of those
[00:07:36] countries and continents that are closer to the poles while
[00:07:40] at the same time shrinking. or minimizing the
[00:07:44] sizes the countries that are closer to the
[00:07:48] equator, which we mostly you refer to as
[00:07:51] global south, especially Africa and other equatorial
[00:07:55] regions, and so this correction by the United Nations is
[00:07:59] beyond a technical or cartographic
[00:08:03] one, but also an act of cognitive
[00:08:05] justice justice because it
[00:08:09] speaks to the question of whose narrative. and whose
[00:08:13] perspective is of held for too long, Africans
[00:08:17] have normalized misrepresentations and sometimes
[00:08:20] outright false about the continent of Africa
[00:08:24] and its people, and we are really happy that we
[00:08:28] we now get to
[00:08:30] to to be having conversations, we're happy about what now seems to
[00:08:34] be very good window of opportunity to challenge these things
[00:08:37] and to have th conversations and redress
[00:08:41] them, so for you you believe that the move that was made, the
[00:08:44] 164 votes that went to this uh
[00:08:48] supporting this move um will shift the how
[00:08:52] the continent is perceived and if it will shift how the continent is
[00:08:55] perceived how will that be done?
[00:08:58] we believe that the are very practical
[00:09:02] implications of this vote
[00:09:05] um believe that the the vote of
[00:09:09] course is non-binding one but uh belief
[00:09:13] is that future generations will begin to
[00:09:16] see a world in its true scale, for
[00:09:20] regions that are most affected like Africa, for
[00:09:23] instance, this resolution will contribute to shaping how the
[00:09:27] world at Africans themselves, who for very
[00:09:30] long time have internalized so many
[00:09:33] debilitating narratives, onesid stories
[00:09:37] about about themselves, you know, about their
[00:09:40] land, about their history. about their contributions to
[00:09:44] civilization, about their cultural identities, and
[00:09:47] just so many more, and so it's going to shape how
[00:09:51] our children begin to understand true size the continent
[00:09:55] and its historical significance, and we believe that this
[00:09:59] will have implications on political decisions, it will
[00:10:03] have implications on investment decisions, development
[00:10:07] decisions about the continent, so hopefully this will be an
[00:10:10] opportunity to begin to disc mantle the unconscious biases
[00:10:14] that feeds the perception that the continent of Africa is
[00:10:18] peripheral right, but most importantly
[00:10:22] it is the opportunity to challenge dominant narrative. that this
[00:10:25] window has provided for us and that's really the learning that we are
[00:10:29] taking out of this, so both of us do agree that the vote that
[00:10:33] was taken is non-binding, um, but
[00:10:36] you know the question would be then, so how can the you know the African continent push
[00:10:40] for local and global adoption
[00:10:44] of this decision that was made? so we believe
[00:10:47] that yes, this is non-binding, but
[00:10:51] lot more still needs to be done by member states and
[00:10:55] independent actors to drive the adoption of this
[00:10:58] map, we need to see it in textbooks, we need to see it in
[00:11:02] schools, we need to see it in publishing houses, um, we need
[00:11:06] to see it in public spaces essentially, the media
[00:11:10] organizations need to begin to adopt this, and the
[00:11:14] military, navigational institutions, institutions
[00:11:18] that deal with maps, to provide
[00:11:21] services to the general society, to
[00:11:25] see mechanisms put in place by member states to
[00:11:29] begin to adopt the usage in, like we say,
[00:11:33] everyday usage to be reflected, and I think it really
[00:11:37] goes down to the will of member states, because
[00:11:41] like we all agree, it's a non-binding resolution, but it's a
[00:11:45] non-binding resolution that carries the weight of consensus, and so the
[00:11:48] consensus is well, and that's the duty of this, because
[00:11:52] despite being symbolic, we believe... that the
[00:11:56] the significance the moment is not lost on us, we know that
[00:11:59] it is hard enough to build consensus around a small local
[00:12:03] issue, but here we are at the moment where
[00:12:07] global consensus has been built around issue
[00:12:11] historical proportion and significance, so this is a big win for the
[00:12:14] continent and our future generations, as they will not have to
[00:12:18] grapple with the visual narratives that have
[00:12:21] reinforced hierarchy, and I must also add... there
[00:12:25] i must also add that visual narratives
[00:12:28] and the are instruments of power
[00:12:32] that shape how the world is seen and understood
[00:12:35] and so we
[00:12:38] believe that African countries will seiz the moment to begin to
[00:12:42] domesticate the usage the equal earth
[00:12:46] projection and also countries outside of Africa to this
[00:12:49] moment
[00:12:50] of of of commonality working
[00:12:54] and f all behind a common purpose, this
[00:12:57] collaborative moment that we have found ourselves in, the
[00:13:01] historical moment that the whole world has come together to speak with one
[00:13:05] voice, and I think all countries should be able to find
[00:13:08] way domesticate each usage with ministries of
[00:13:12] education, working with publishing houses
[00:13:16] and those that produce instructional materials for school textbooks and
[00:13:20] all of that, we want to see
[00:13:21] countriesticating. in their
[00:13:25] their domain all right, so now let's have look at the decision that
[00:13:29] the US decided to take, it was the only country that never voted for this, you
[00:13:33] know, a proposal that was tabled on the floor the house,
[00:13:37] if I may put it that to the UN general assembly, and the
[00:13:41] argument was, we should be discussing about other important things and
[00:13:44] not
[00:13:45] you know changing, changing the map, but how is it likely to
[00:13:49] affect its
[00:13:50] you know adoption owing to the fact that major tech companies are American
[00:13:54] frankly? "we respect the
[00:13:57] decision of countries to either vote a no or
[00:14:01] to abstain, but the notion that a campaign to
[00:14:05] seek more accurate visual representation and
[00:14:09] correct tenturies of falsehold is part of radical agenda is just
[00:14:13] completely false and I think the overwhelming
[00:14:17] majority who voted yes, it's clear evidence that matters of
[00:14:21] justice and equity are impressive, the 164 who vote"
[00:14:25] ds is evidence of course that demonstratees
[00:14:28] that when we come together behind the common purpose and remain
[00:14:32] consistent at it, the world will pay attention, and this is the thinking that
[00:14:36] has propelled our current not waiting campaign,
[00:14:40] which invite storytellers across the continent and the
[00:14:43] diaspora to consistently share stories of opportunity, progress
[00:14:47] and innovation about africa until it begins to feel
[00:14:51] normal to hear such stories about the continent and
[00:14:55] people, Africa is not in a tussel with
[00:14:58] anyone, we are only asking to be seen and understood
[00:15:02] correctly, and I don't think there is anything radical or
[00:15:05] scary about that, so countries vote along the lines
[00:15:09] their self interest and preservation or the collective interest, and this
[00:15:13] vote show the triumph of collective interest wrapped
[00:15:16] around social justice and equity, so I believe that
[00:15:20] tech companies, wherever their domains are, whether they are based in the United States or
[00:15:24] based on... outside the United States in Europe, I think what everybody should be looking at
[00:15:28] is the power and the sheer force the consensus that has
[00:15:32] been built around this issue right, and that's what
[00:15:36] should drive decisions. forward as opposed to very
[00:15:39] narrow interests of various countries that voted along the
[00:15:43] lines of whatever reasons that they advanced, so I think we should also the
[00:15:47] bigger picture, and the bigger picture is moment
[00:15:51] of shared purpose, moment of correcting the historical
[00:15:55] injustice, moment of
[00:15:57] you know achieving equity and understanding and
[00:16:00] collaboration, and that's what you know the moment pertains and I
[00:16:04] think tech companies wherever they are located should be
[00:16:08] see in that picture all right, victor makonyebu,
[00:16:12] thank you for your time and for joining us here on Africa Matters,
[00:16:15] he's
[00:16:16] you know the director of grants programs at partnerships at the African
[00:16:20] no Filter Foundation, he was talking to us from Lagos, Nigeria, thank you once
[00:16:23] again, still to come here on Africa Marters, I
[00:16:27] am aking alaka, let me show you what
[00:16:31] Uber's exit from Nigeria means for thousands of
[00:16:35] drivers who defended. on the platform for their
[00:16:39] livelihoods,
[00:16:45] to Nigeria, where Uber has ended 12 years of operations,
[00:16:49] shutting down with immediate effect on September 2nd, the
[00:16:53] exit is part of a global restructuring that has also seen the company
[00:16:56] withdrew from Uganda, now for thousands of drivers, it could mean an
[00:17:00] abrupt loss of incomers, akin alaka reports from
[00:17:04] Legos, if he has been driven for Uber
[00:17:08] since 2018, the federal f has built
[00:17:12] most of his household income around this road and this
[00:17:15] app. this week, the app went
[00:17:19] dark without notice. the major
[00:17:22] challenge there,
[00:17:24] the the income that was that used to come with not coming the way used to
[00:17:28] come,
[00:17:29] you know, everything will at least if we are getting
[00:17:32] 70%, now it will be going to be 45%.
[00:17:36] if any is... alone, dispatch riders on this
[00:17:40] route describe years of running the numbers just to break
[00:17:44] even, we buy foil very course
[00:17:47] and seriously as we don't have anything to do,
[00:17:51] that's why we are just using it, because we don't have any option, but at
[00:17:55] least sometime we don't have any profit much.
[00:17:59] uber's exit comes as a company restructures globally
[00:18:03] cutting about 10% of its workforce while reviewing its
[00:18:06] investment. This particular exit of Uber
[00:18:10] was born out of two things: their global strategy and of
[00:18:14] course how easy it was considering the complaints that were
[00:18:18] coming from drivers with regards to fairs and all of that that tied
[00:18:21] into or you know just made it much more easy to do
[00:18:25] what they wanted to do from a global
[00:18:28] standpoint. Uber's rivers phase
[00:18:31] many the same pressures, but bolts has adapted
[00:18:35] it pricing to the local market. while in drive
[00:18:39] allows drivers and passengers to negotiate first
[00:18:42] directly. Uber may have left Nigeria,
[00:18:46] but the rolls it once help drivers navigate are still
[00:18:50] busy. For drivers like Ifany, the challenge is to find
[00:18:53] another way to make living a market where competition
[00:18:57] is fierce, costs arising, and the platform the ones
[00:19:01] paid, some the bills is no longer there.
[00:19:05] The exit could also reshape. materious ride hally
[00:19:08] market when the competitors will be able to absorb the riders,
[00:19:12] increase their market share, have more drivers that you know they can
[00:19:16] deploy to carrying out this particular ride healing
[00:19:19] business. the bigger question for former uber drivers
[00:19:23] is what replaces their income and how
[00:19:25] soon? aking alaka, african
[00:19:29] maters, lagos. to
[00:19:33] zimbabwee next where government crackdown on street vendors is
[00:19:36] underway. say it's about restoring order, but traders
[00:19:40] say it's about survival. as columbusa reports from
[00:19:43] hari, affected vendor say they won't be able to make money after the
[00:19:47] stock was confiscated. this is 27 year old
[00:19:51] to sells and repairs tires by the
[00:19:55] roadside in harare, but the council has now
[00:19:58] confiscated his stock. i
[00:20:02] will have to look for an alternative place to work from for survival, but the
[00:20:06] council had.
[00:20:37] on vending for our children to go to school for our food and clothes, now we
[00:20:41] have nowhere to go and get livelihood, it's now difficult for us. the
[00:20:45] government hopes this clean up will restore tiedness and
[00:20:49] order in It says the vendors are causing the
[00:20:53] chaos on the streets in Zimbabwe, but Gift
[00:20:56] Mugano and Economics professor says vendors are
[00:21:00] important for the economy, as the World Bank says, the
[00:21:04] informal sector employs four in every five workers
[00:21:08] in Zimbabwe. Remember, they are not there by
[00:21:11] desire, they are in outcome of economic
[00:21:14] difficulties of three decade long
[00:21:18] economic. down and uh these
[00:21:21] are part of resilience building by the general the
[00:21:25] population e living. Of course, it's an
[00:21:29] ISO in town uh to
[00:21:32] see uh traders on door steps of
[00:21:36] establish businesses. The Zimbabwean government says the clean
[00:21:39] up is not because the upcoming common market for
[00:21:43] eastern and southern Africa summit next month. This
[00:21:47] is for permanent issue. and we are
[00:21:51] going to make sure that we make we
[00:21:54] repair the areas, we build the areas that they built
[00:21:58] so that they have somewhere to work, but what cannot happen is to
[00:22:02] work in unsanitary conditions, everywhere where we block traffic
[00:22:06] and create a situation where it is chaotic.
[00:22:09] Zimbabwe, last cleared vendors the
[00:22:13] streets in 2020 form ahead of a meeting of
[00:22:16] leaders from the southern Africa region in
[00:22:20] Harare after the meeting, vendors flooded harare streets,
[00:22:24] saying they have other source of livelihood.
