00:00:00"I can't go home because if the police find me, they'll
00:00:02arrest me.
00:00:08I arrived in Bossasso after several days on the road. I came
00:00:11from Ethiopia.
00:00:15I was looking for work, and apparently you can find it in this
00:00:17country.
00:00:20I went to a mosque every Friday, and after
00:00:23several weeks, a Yemeni man came to see me to ask if I
00:00:27wanted to join an organization to..." defend a
00:00:30strong Islam. This man entrusted
00:00:34me with packages to take to different neighborhoods. I wasn't allowed to open them,
00:00:38but I knew what was inside: they were weapons.
00:00:42Then one day, I was told that I had to leave Bossasso, that I was
00:00:46going to go into the mountains, and that's when I really understood who I was
00:00:49dealing with. This man was from the Islamic
00:00:51State.
00:00:56There were many foreigners, there were Syrians, Turks,
00:00:59Moroccans. They gave me a weapon and taught me how to
00:01:02use it. Several times I had to shoot at soldiers.
00:01:06One day, one of the leaders selected me and told me, "You're going to drive a
00:01:10car and you're going to have to blow it up at an army checkpoint." That's
00:01:13when I realized that I couldn't stay any longer, and I managed to escape.
00:01:17Today, do you still believe in the Islamic
00:01:20State's program? I don't
00:01:24know.
00:01:29it requires honesty, Its presence in Somalia is a ticking
00:01:31Rigor and time bomb. It's impossible to know if he won't
00:01:35take up arms again one day.
00:01:38Like him, many recruits are foreigners.
00:01:42So the police are now investigating all migrants.
00:01:51images taken on the ground, researchers from
00:02:36If the investigations reveal nothing, they will be
00:02:38released.
00:02:40Inspector Adan coordinates the tracking of Daesh
00:02:43operatives.
00:02:51But the Islamic State has become a master of
00:02:54dissimulation.

00:04:30significant, our editorial team has not mean the end of
00:04:33According to local authorities, the Somali faction supplies the various
00:04:37branches of ISIS across the world.
00:04:41It has gained considerable importance in a few
00:04:43years.
00:04:46We're going to take a tour of the Bossasso checkpoint, it's a roadblock
00:04:51in Israel among part of outside the city on the road to the capital
00:04:52Mogadishu.
00:05:05Peace be upon you. City
00:05:08of something.
00:05:16We are looking for ammunition, explosives leaving the
00:05:20city, medical supplies.
00:05:42We found many things passing through, transported in large
00:05:46trucks, hidden in fruits and
00:05:49vegetables.
00:05:55Thanks to this barrier, we found a lot
00:05:57of weapons.
00:06:01For a year, all roads leaving Bossasso have been controlled in this
00:06:05way. Fighters are no longer supposed to
00:06:08receive material.
00:06:42They can buy that anywhere, it's made in China.
00:07:02Other bombs might be hidden, but the soldiers still have to
00:07:05take this
00:07:06path.
00:07:11That day, the...
00:08:12So it is in everyone's interest to fight them. We need
00:08:15air support, means of transport, we need
00:08:19weapons. We need equipment for our demining
00:08:22teams. We tell the world to be careful of them, we must help all
00:08:26those for whom they are a problem and us here too.
00:08:30The minister informed them of a new phase of the offensive. In
00:08:33a few days, American commandos
00:08:37bases with them. How are you? Did you prepare
00:08:41dinner? Potatoes,
00:08:44terre,
00:08:47that makes us strong, it's good food, rich in
00:08:50protein, the mountain diet.
00:08:54His team is waiting for their food, these are freedom
00:08:57fighters, the men who will free the
00:09:00country.
00:09:06We have been here for a year, we are convinced that this is our
00:09:09land, that we have liberated it. And that we will never
00:09:13leave it. Some have died, some have been
00:09:17wounded, but for those who remain, we are ready to die and be wounded for
00:09:20this cause. We are
00:09:23ready.
00:09:26A few days later, the
00:09:29Islamic State during the joint operation with the
00:09:32Americans.
00:09:35The noose is tightening on Daesh in Somalia, but a
00:09:38military victory will the...
00:10:09Several videos like these were filmed at the end of January and beginning
00:10:12of February in southern Syria.
00:10:15Syrian farmers claim that Israeli planes like
00:10:19this one sprayed herbicide products on their
00:10:22crops. These planes all have...
00:11:12Israeli planes carried out a comprehensive herbicide spraying
00:11:16operation on February
00:11:185, 2026. Yellowing
00:11:22of crops began on February 7.
00:11:25Crop death began.
00:11:28Personally, I lost 75 dirhams of crops
00:11:32that were cultivated with wheat. And farmers and people are
00:11:35demanding from me the price of the seeds and the cultivation, and the crop
00:11:38was sprayed by the Israeli occupation. Israeli authorities
00:11:42have not commented on the matter and have not responded to our
00:11:45requests. Comparable spraying operations have been
00:11:49reported in southern Lebanon. For some analysts, these sprayings
00:11:53could be aimed at preventing vegetation growth so that it does not serve
00:11:56as a shelter for armed groups. Others believe that Israel is trying
00:12:00to extend its control over cross-border
00:12:02areas. On the Syrian side, satellite images
00:12:06allow us to visualize affected areas, for example near the
00:12:10village of Kodena. By
00:12:12comparing satellite images and
00:12:16the NGO Paxford Piece were able to assess the affected area in
00:12:19Syria.
00:12:25before the week before there was sprayed and with the week after it was sprayed
00:12:29and we could follow this line of affected
00:12:31vegetation for roughly 55 kilometers from
00:12:35the south to the north in the Golan Heights.
00:12:38A rough estimate is between six and 10 square kilometers of
00:12:42area was sprayed with herbicides which is roughly twice the
00:12:46size of Central Park in New York to compare it with. What Israel
00:12:49effectively has been doing is creating a dead zone on the borders with Syria and
00:12:53Lebanon allegedly for.
00:13:00Here is Venezuela seen by satellite at night. In
00:13:04the northwest, the bright spots correspond to several large cities including
00:13:07the capital Caracas, but to the east, this
00:13:11large bright spot shows something else: it is the
00:13:14light emitted by gas flaring in the state
00:13:18of Monagas. Flaring is the burning
00:13:23oil extraction, but without valorizing it.
00:13:27This gas is therefore wasted and this represents a loss of income
00:13:31for Venezuela, in addition to being a harmful practice for
00:13:34the environment and health. This situation is mainly explained by a
00:13:38lack of investment in equipment, according to a former PDVSA
00:13:41employee, the Venezuelan state oil company. He
00:13:45had to leave it in 2003 during an unprecedented
00:13:48wave of layoffs. What happens is that the gas when it comes out with the oil
00:13:51needs some equipment to.
00:13:55take it, to store it, clean it, separate the liquids
00:13:58from the gases, etc. If you manage to collect
00:14:03industries, in homes, you also
00:14:07use it to inject it into oil wells because that increases
00:14:11the pressure of the well. After we left the company in
00:14:142003, the company began to decline
00:14:17technically, they did not make investments in collecting the gas. In
00:14:21fact, if you cannot process it, you have to burn it.
00:14:25The problems now are that there is very little information about Venezuelan oil, it
00:14:28could be that 50% is being
00:14:32burned.
00:14:35And if the gas has to be burned, it's because otherwise there's a risk
00:14:38of explosion. If we consider the total volume of gas burned,
00:14:42Venezuela is the 5th country in terms of flaring, but it is the
00:14:452nd in the world in volume of gas flared per barrel of oil
00:14:49extracted. In the Venezuelan state of Monagas where
00:14:52flaring is particularly
00:14:55identified more than 40 flares in 2025, like
00:14:59this one.
00:15:02Our observer visited Maturín, the capital of this
00:15:05state. The noise made by the flare is characteristic, it is a
00:15:09blowtorch. Imagine the sound of a 2-meter
00:15:13diameter
00:15:13burner.
00:15:17In the daytime, what you see are just the flames,
00:15:21but at night there's a yellow glow in the sky, and those are
00:15:24the ones that are 30 km from
00:15:28here. What you're seeing from afar is a controlled fire, but it is a fire that you're seeing in
00:15:32the sky. After the removal of Nicolas Maduro in early January, the
00:15:35Venezuelan government approved a reform of its hydrocarbons
00:15:39law and the United States lifted a number of
00:15:42sanctions. This could allow for the modernization of the
00:15:45sector and a reduction in flaring. In
00:15:482024, global flaring is estimated to have generated 389
00:15:52million tons of CO2 equivalent. Beyond the climate impact, the
00:15:55health of residents can be affected. There is, among other things,
00:15:59an increased risk of respiratory
00:16:00pathologies.
00:16:04If you have witnessed a situation, if you have
00:16:07images, please send them to us, especially on our
00:16:11WhatsApp number. All our contacts are on screen. See you soon!
00:16:37Notes that have rarely resonated within the confines of this
00:16:41cemetery to oneself. The Congolese anthem rings out in
00:16:44homage to this man who died more than a century ago after being
00:16:48exhibited at the 1894 World's
00:16:50Fair organized in the Flemish city.
00:16:54144 Congolese from the Independent State of Congo were exhibited
00:16:58to the public. They had to show their daily
00:17:01lives and their traditions and customs to visitors in what is today
00:17:05recognized as a practice.
00:17:11At the time, we didn't talk about human zoos, but about African
00:17:14villages, a term that masks a much more
00:17:18brutal reality: Congolese brought by force to Belgium, exposed to
00:17:21the public gaze in precarious conditions. Among them,
00:17:25dozens would end up contracting diseases, seven would not
00:17:29survive.
00:17:30Victims finally recognized by this
00:17:34ceremony. Supported by the
00:17:38Congolese community, but which the city of Antwerp took a long time to
00:17:41accept. Ladies and
00:17:45gentlemen, unfortunately, the way
00:17:48they were treated and depicted was not unique in
00:17:51Europe. Elsewhere at World's
00:17:54Fairs, these villages were used for
00:17:58colonial propaganda, dehumanizing and
00:18:01racist purposes.
00:18:05There is no other description for this...
00:18:09The Congo pavilion at the 1894
00:18:11exhibition
00:18:14is one of the dark pages in our city's
00:18:16history.
00:18:19A recognition welcomed by the Congolese side.
00:18:22From now on, a monument will remind visitors of the dramatic
00:18:25episode. It's something we must
00:18:29keep and especially for the history that binds us, that is to say, the DRC and
00:18:33Belgium. Today the relationship is at its best.
00:18:37It's just time to heal our wounds and together go
00:18:41even further. An
00:18:45the younger generation, like this influencer who is very popular on
00:18:49social networks. She would like
00:18:53the Congolese community in
00:18:54Belgium. How will this ceremony
00:18:58continue to guide
00:19:02us, in fact, in the questions we
00:19:05have every day as... children of the diaspora, the
00:19:09questions about our dual identity, the
00:19:12questions about these pains that must be transformed
00:19:16into strength and doors for other opportunities.
00:19:20An important step for the Congolese
00:19:23community, even if many would have wished that the monument would be placed in
00:19:27the heart of the city and not in an outlying cemetery.
00:19:31Colonial history researcher Georgine Dubuis is one of those who
00:19:35advocates for a plaque to be placed here, in front of this
00:19:38museum, at the very place where the human zoo had taken place
00:19:41132 years ago.
00:19:44To exhibit people as in a human zoo, that must
00:19:47be part of what
00:19:51people who come here must know. The
00:19:54cemetery, in any case, people do not necessarily go to the
00:19:58cemetery to know what happened, but here we are still in
00:20:02the center of Antwerp, especially as the port city still bears
00:20:05the scars of its... heavy colonial history. At
00:20:09the time, Antwerp quickly grew rich. The city housed
00:20:13the offices of large rubber companies. Antwerp
00:20:17is the gateway for all colonial products, both
00:20:20rubber, ivory,
00:20:24cocoa, coffee,
00:20:26tobacco at first and later
00:20:30with with mineral
00:20:34products, there is diamond, copper...
00:20:38Essentially
00:20:40a meticulously documented commercial past
00:20:44in the city's archives, oilseeds.
00:20:46We can see at the end then... a
00:20:50kind of list of textiles uh other
00:20:54uh products for example, and so
00:20:57uh we still see
00:21:00already in 1894 there was a wide
00:21:04range of products, right, that are already
00:21:08made available to the
00:21:11Antwerp population and
00:21:14that gives them ideas of what they can exploit, since that was the
00:21:18purpose of the expo too.
00:21:20Very precise details that contrast with the lack
00:21:23of information concerning the people exhibited in the human zoo
00:21:27apart from the men who went through hospitals, we don't have the
00:21:30names of the people, who are they, where exactly do they come
00:21:34from, since Congo is vast. When we know that
00:21:37they exhibited Bangalas, we know that they exhibited people from
00:21:41Kasai, but we know that,
00:21:44it's recorded, but what are these people called? We see faces, but
00:21:48they are nameless faces. Belgian colonial history is a history of
00:21:52nameless people, a question
00:21:55that goes far beyond the single case of Antwerp, how many
00:21:58other European human zoos are still waiting to give
00:22:02a name to a large part of their victims.
00:30:07Hello everyone and thank you for joining us on France 24 in the
00:30:11headlines. You're doing well because right away, here's a new newscast with our main
00:30:14headlines: will the specter of sectarian violence
00:30:17resurface in Syria? A car bomb attack
00:30:21in a Christian and Druze suburb of Damascus leaves two
00:30:24dead and more than a dozen injured this Thursday, a
00:30:28new deadly attack in the Syrian capital within
00:30:31a few... a few months. In the headlines, we will
00:30:35also discuss this explosive situation in occupied
00:30:37West Bank, a new episode of violence by Israeli
00:30:41settlers in a Palestinian village, resulting in many
00:30:45injured and burnt homes. Violence that
00:30:48also causes outrage
00:30:53the population, as you will see, and then we will also talk about a man in
00:30:57turmoil, Gianni Infantino.
