00:00:03of of of
00:00:03of
00:00:09You're of watching TRT World, I'm Yashini Padiachi with the reminder of
00:00:13our main headlines. At least 12 people have been killed and more than
00:00:17300 injured an attack on the King Khalid International Airport
00:00:21in Riyadh. Saudi Arabia
00:00:23of is blaming the ansara huti group in neighboring Yemen. They've been launching
00:00:27attacks on Riyad in recent weeks, but to claim
00:00:31of responsibility for this strike.
00:00:32of Pakistan's prime minister Shahbas Sharif would joined Turkia in signing the
00:00:36Mecca defense pact in August, is calling it a heinous
00:00:40attack. Donald Trump is weighing up a US
00:00:44a response.
00:00:45I think it's terrible. Well you're going to find out,
00:00:48see, but I think it's
00:00:50terrible.
00:00:55in Well, they're able to defend. Look, the Saudis are good fighters, but I
00:00:59think the attack was... terrible thing. The US
00:01:02president also says it's time for Ukraine to get new leader, following
00:01:06criticism from his Ukrainian
00:01:08in counterpart a US diesel deal with Russia.
00:01:11Vladimir Zelensky has called the move weak and warned it will only
00:01:15help Russia's war. The deal is expected to lead to the
00:01:19immediate
00:01:20of release of more than 300 thousand tons of Russian diesel with more to
00:01:24come in the months ahead. In India, a court
00:01:28has released three cockroach juntter. party leaders after protests
00:01:31erupted in the capital. They were arrested on Saturday along with
00:01:35thousands of others, but took to the streets, calling for the resignation
00:01:39of the country's election chief. They accuse him of
00:01:42sideespping rules and regulations and making changes to the
00:01:46voter registration process. More than 30,000 police
00:01:50members have been deployed in New
00:01:51Delhi.
00:02:08The news continues the on TRT world after Africa
00:02:10Matters.
00:02:34of Welcome everyone, I'm Grace Kurakanja and this
00:02:38is Africa Matters, conflict in the Middle East has already
00:02:42disrupted global trade, now the resurgents of
00:02:45Somali piracy is raising fresh concerns
00:02:49of about security in the Gulf of Aden and the Western Indian
00:02:52Ocean. What is return mean for regional and
00:02:56of international maritime security?
00:03:04now
00:03:05of 2026 has brought major disruptions to global
00:03:08shipping with around 20%
00:03:11of the world's oil
00:03:12of passing through the straight of hormos before the US war on
00:03:15Iran. Ansera Houti attacks in Yemen have disrupted
00:03:19traffic through the Bab Almandab straight, vital
00:03:23shipping
00:03:23of corridor that carries roughly 15% of global seaborn
00:03:27trade, and our piracy is surfacing in the gulf of
00:03:31Aiden, the critical shipping corridor that's between Yemen,
00:03:35Djibuti and Somalia. The road connects Europe and
00:03:39Asia through the Swez canal, further disruption could raise
00:03:42freight, insurance and fuel costs affecting consumers
00:03:46worldwide and
00:03:47of increasing risks for sea
00:03:50of fairers. The shipping should not be used as collateral in the geopolitical
00:03:54of conflict, that we need to protect the shipping and the sea ferters, otherwise
00:03:58the negative effects are going to be filled. that everyone around the world,
00:04:01regardless if the countries are or not
00:04:04of involved
00:04:04in the conflicts, when it comes to time security,
00:04:07of i would say that it's the situation is is not getting better,
00:04:11that's why we
00:04:12of should have better coordination between the member
00:04:15of state and also at the same time better information sharing, because
00:04:19now is the monsoon for example, which is the sea condition
00:04:23are are rough and we have 97 hostage in somalia since
00:04:26april on piracy and we have six vessel also being held. in
00:04:30Somalia uh some
00:04:31of them like two two three days ago and some since April so and this is
00:04:35during the monsoon so October November this will be
00:04:39more actually uh the peak season because currently all the
00:04:43international forces maritime forces are distracted in in the in different
00:04:47maritime conflicts now the international maritime
00:04:50organization has recorded at least 15 paracy
00:04:54incidents
00:04:55of the Horn of Africa this year including eight in the Gulf of
00:04:58Aiden one
00:04:59of them Most notable was the August hijacking
00:05:02of the Cameron Flugged MV Lutuff which was later released, now in
00:05:06April, about 30 pirates attack the MT a
00:05:0925 as it carried 18,000 500 barrels of
00:05:13oil to Morgadishu, five the 17 crew
00:05:17members taken hostage were killed. Mohon maaf
00:05:21sebesar-besarnya. I sincerely apologize to the
00:05:24families of my five diseased crew members. I couldn't
00:05:28keep my promise to bring all my crew members back safely.
00:05:32I'm deeply sorry. Now
00:05:36several factors are behind the researgeants. Naval
00:05:40forces once assigned to counter piracy. have been diverted to the
00:05:44red sea and the street of hormos, thus reducing patrols off the
00:05:48Somali coast, higher oil prices have also increased the
00:05:51potential rewards for hijacking, meanwhile aid cuts, illegal
00:05:55fishing, insecurity and political instability are
00:05:59deeppening economic headship, pushing up the cost of food,
00:06:03fuel and fertilizer, so while concerning, the
00:06:06recent increase attacks remains well below the peak of Somalia's
00:06:10paristic crisis, according to world bank data, somali pirates
00:06:14carried out more than 1000 attacks between 2005
00:06:18and 2012, hijacking 218 vessels
00:06:22and taking more than 3,700 sailors
00:06:25hostage. ransom payments were and remain
00:06:29a key incentive for piracy. at the height the
00:06:32crisis, ship owners paid an estimated 50
00:06:36million US dollars in ransoms each year, while the
00:06:39wider economic cost of somile piracy. as much as
00:06:43$18 billion dollars annually. All
00:06:47right, let's hear more from Richard Ororun Tobba, he's an associate professor of
00:06:51supply chain management, an international trade at Cartoon
00:06:55University. He joins me from path in Australia.
00:06:58Thank you very much, Mr. Richard for making the time for this
00:07:01conversation. I want to start with the gulf of Aiden, how
00:07:05strategically important is it right now, given the
00:07:09wider maritime disruptions caused by the conflicts in the...
00:07:12east, it remains very
00:07:15important, uh, lot of traffic, maritime
00:07:19traffic passes through the red sea and the
00:07:23passes right into the Mediterranean,
00:07:27so it remains a strategic water way, it
00:07:30also links the Mediterranean
00:07:34and the Indian oceans, so it's very, very
00:07:38important for maritime traffic. All
00:07:41right, now... these piracy attacks that we're seeing, we're talking
00:07:45about 15 them, according to the international maritime
00:07:48organization just this year, are we seeing isolated
00:07:51incidents or are these signs of sustained
00:07:55researgeance? just how serious is this
00:07:57threat? i think
00:08:01it's it's right, it's reason, if
00:08:05you remember several years ago there were
00:08:08serious narval patrols and the rates of
00:08:12piracy actually dropped, but
00:08:16this year since April, the rate of
00:08:19piracy has increased compared to the previous
00:08:23few years and for from my
00:08:27perspective, I believe the instability in the
00:08:30region may be feeding
00:08:33into these rise in the rates
00:08:37of pirate attacks, there is lot of
00:08:40instability in the region, we've got the yemen
00:08:44crisis, we also have the the crisis
00:08:48in Ethiopia and Eritrea, we also
00:08:51have the crisis in Somalia and the
00:08:54Somaliland, the tensions
00:08:58there, so all these put together, it
00:09:02seems some the instability inland is
00:09:05beginning to to spread on onto the
00:09:08maritime coast, right, and like you said
00:09:12that the crisis in the 2000s was caused through a
00:09:15combination of multilateral naval missions. now most
00:09:19these vessels have been redeployed to the red sea to the straight
00:09:23of hormos because the conflicts that we currently have. can we afford
00:09:27to have that kind of multilateral naval missions
00:09:31now to secure the gulf of
00:09:32Aiden? oh yes,
00:09:36I think
00:09:37the the capabilities are there by the major powers
00:09:41to redeploy those nav vessels back to the gulf
00:09:45of Eden and and and the red sea, so I believe those
00:09:49capabilities are are there, they just need policy
00:09:53makers just need to be aware that the rates
00:09:56of piracy seems to be increasing
00:09:59significantly, so are you saying they're not
00:10:02aware,
00:10:06well it may not be a priority at the
00:10:10moment,
00:10:11you know there are... separate different levels of
00:10:14prioritization, so if the media
00:10:18like yourselves can make them you know
00:10:22more aware a high level. if you can
00:10:26show some the impacts on trade
00:10:29and other repercussions these rise in
00:10:33the pirate attacks then it will become a top
00:10:36priority. all right, let's talk more about Somalia because
00:10:40conditions on land that helped fuel the piracy
00:10:43attacks 15 years ago in the early 2000s they still remain. i'm talking
00:10:47about insecurity, political instability, illegal fishing, they're
00:10:51still there. so how do we deal with that now with those?
00:10:55being some the main or the core driving factors these piracy
00:10:58attacks? i think the key thing
00:11:02is economic growth, economic development, people
00:11:06need jobs, people need job
00:11:09security, people need livelihoods
00:11:12and people need stability, economic
00:11:15stability, so for the long term i'll
00:11:19suggest investments i'll
00:11:22suggest trade.
00:11:25I would suggest education, these are the things that
00:11:28contribute to long-term stability and peace and
00:11:32development any country. Right, and as we wind up, I want to
00:11:36pick up on something you mentioned earlier, the um conflicts that we're
00:11:40witnessing on the African continent, so could this
00:11:43renewed piracy intersect with other security challenges in the horn of
00:11:47Africa, for instance, including terrorism, trafficking and regional
00:11:51instability. Yes, yes.
00:11:55there is actually very the the lines are
00:11:58blowed between those those things you you have mentioned that
00:12:02that short least so yeah this school
00:12:06all mix up in my view there is actually no clear
00:12:10cut silos you cannot separate terrorism
00:12:13from all the
00:12:16instability and all the various goings
00:12:19on in the region as
00:12:22I said earlier these things spell over there are
00:12:26crossovers and you can't put them in neat
00:12:30boundaries and neat silos, they have to be
00:12:33addressed together. all right, mr. richard
00:12:37olorun the associate professor of supplane supply chain
00:12:41management and international trade cart in university. thank you very much sir for your
00:12:45time and valuable contribution. still to come
00:12:48here on africa matters. i
00:13:06where hartum central streets are slowly beginning to show signs
00:13:10of life again after a long period of silence
00:13:13in one the capital's historic markets traders are trying to return
00:13:17to the routines they once knew, even as the effects the
00:13:21war remain all around them, Abdalla Hussein reports from her.
00:13:28Like elsewhere in Sudan, the war hasn't been kind to central
00:13:31Chartum and its markets which once teamed with
00:13:35activity, like sugal afranji or afranji
00:13:38market here on aljam street. Now amid the
00:13:42destruction, some are trying to bring back a little of
00:13:46what was lost. Muhammad is one the market's long
00:13:50time traders. After more than 50 years among these
00:13:53shops, the war. forced him to leave, he returned
00:13:57after a long absence to find that the destruction had
00:14:00reached everything, even his own
00:14:03shops, no one here escaped the damage, when
00:14:07the war broke out, no one could come to take anything from their shop, the fighting
00:14:11was right beside us, perhaps people in other areas managed to do that,
00:14:15but here we were affected an extraordinary way, the scale the
00:14:19destruction is immense and so is the
00:14:21loss, i had three shops, couldn't take
00:14:25out a single piece, but I have started again a small
00:14:29scale from blow zero. The damage was
00:14:32devastating for traders who had lost the market that
00:14:36once provided their livelihoods. Slowly, they
00:14:40began bringing their goods back, setting up again, despite the
00:14:44destruction is still visible around
00:14:46them. We thought it would not last
00:14:50long, but it became years. When we came back,
00:14:53we were shocked, we found... 'everything completely destroyed, the
00:14:57shops badly burned and the buildings collapsed. It was a
00:15:01catastrophic situation. Yet, beyond the business,
00:15:04there is an emotional pond between these traders and the
00:15:08market they have known for so long. I don't know what to say,
00:15:12for me, this street is lifeline. I can't leave it. There is our building
00:15:16you saw earlier, entirely collapsed, not even a trace of it left, but
00:15:20everyone here has come back. They all shared the same feeling, we can't
00:15:23work in other markets.' purchasing power is no longer what it
00:15:27was, adding to the burden of traders who have already
00:15:31lost what they owned, but they have chosen to return,
00:15:35what may look like a gamble or nostal belgia is for
00:15:39them a connection to the life they knew and hope for
00:15:42new one. coming back doesn't mean things are back to business
00:15:46as usual, these traders are rebuilding from the ruins
00:15:50with business only slowly beginning to return. for them even
00:15:54this modest activity is part of trying to reclaim their
00:15:58livelihoods. africa
00:16:01matters,
00:16:04and from maritime security
00:16:06in the horn off. to the safety of women on the street of South
00:16:10Africa, wave of murders has packed outrage and renewed
00:16:14calls for stronger action against gender-based violence
00:16:18to Sakamalo reports
00:16:19from
00:16:25a kurhole on the streets of ekuruleni, women
00:16:29are demanding protection, 12 women have been murdered in the
00:16:33city since July 15, for those matching,
00:16:36the fear. of becoming the next victim is part of daily
00:16:40life, I'm tired of this GPV, I'm tired,
00:16:44I'm a woman, I can't even go outside, I'm scared to go outside, I'm
00:16:48scared to go to the bathroom because of
00:16:50what is happening, I don't trust anything anymore, I don't trust even my yard
00:16:54because of what is happening in in in in our
00:16:57country, the protesters say they are repeated
00:17:00calls for help have gone unanswered, they
00:17:04want authorities to act so women can move. freely
00:17:08without fearing for their lives, until
00:17:12when is this the freedom our four fatherers fight for? are we
00:17:15free? we are not free, we are not free,
00:17:19every day we are scared, every day we are
00:17:23crying for help, nothing is happening until when,
00:17:27the acting police minister has linked the violence to a high
00:17:31concentration of leaker outlets and police stuff shortage
00:17:34ekululeni, president Ramaphosa has announced
00:17:38a four-point plan to tackle the crisis.
00:17:42Police have 60 days to set out how they will resolve
00:17:46gender-based violence and femicide cases.
00:17:50Municipalities have 90 days to make public spaces safer
00:17:54for women, and prosecutors must outline how they will
00:17:58deal with the outstanding murder and rape cases.
00:18:02The government is also placed funding and resources to support
00:18:06the plan. We owe every woman and
00:18:09girl in South Africa a country in which she
00:18:13does not have to calculate where she may
00:18:16walk, what time she may travel, what she
00:18:20may wear, whom she may trust and weather,
00:18:24saying no will put her in life
00:18:27danger, but for
00:18:31these women, the promises have come to late,
00:18:35they say they need protection now.
00:18:39The South African human rights commission says 569
00:18:43women were made out in South Africa between April and June
00:18:462026. That's about six women a day.
00:18:50Police statistics show nearly 900 rape cases were
00:18:54reported during the same period. That's almost 100 a
00:18:57day. The question now is whether President
00:19:01Ramaposa's four point plan to tack the gender-based violence
00:19:05will help turn those figures around. or become another failed
00:19:09strategy. Africa
00:19:12matters ekuruleni South
00:19:15Africa.
00:19:19Now to Bukina Faso where deaf and hearing impired people
00:19:23are using a special technique to dance. The vibra sign
00:19:26technique helps them fill the rhythm and has opened up new social
00:19:30possibilities for this often marginalized group. Bahar
00:19:34has the story. They may not. the
00:19:37music, but these dancers can feel its rhythm. all
00:19:41them are deaf or hard of hearing. their instructor
00:19:45Yaya Sanu has found the way to help them follow the beat. he
00:19:49uses his space to show the tempo and mute the
00:19:53music. the dancers can also feel the music
00:19:56through vibrations in the floor. i really like to dance,
00:20:00the repetition, the learning. love of dance is what encourages me to
00:20:04keep dancing. in burkinofaso, deaf people
00:20:08still face negative attitudes, local study by the
00:20:12Institute of Social Sciences last year reported
00:20:1560% have negative perceptions of deafness.
00:20:19some people consider deafness a curse or spiritual
00:20:23punishment. in my neighborhood
00:20:27there used to be a school for deaf people. i saw these children
00:20:30keeping themselves to themselves. they did nothing, they didn't
00:20:34even participate in sociocultural activities. and caught my
00:20:38attention, i said to myself, it's not normal, we have to do
00:20:41something, so decided to propose teaching dance and
00:20:45it all started from there, and when i started the
00:20:49impact, reaction, the positive change in the daily life these
00:20:53dancers, these young people, made me understand that there was a
00:20:56need. Sanu has trained his dancers to such
00:21:00level that he entered a team to the 2023
00:21:04francaphone games in Kinshasa, there they
00:21:07picked up gold for choreography, and now the group has
00:21:11taken its latest production to ivory cost and
00:21:15Germany. Before I was only in Bobo, I saw
00:21:19the dancer. is traveling around and i was here doing
00:21:22nothing, but now i can also travel and i really
00:21:26love traveling. for these dancers
00:21:30music has become a way to connect, compete and see
00:21:34the world, and that proving the show must go on
00:21:38even when the music cannot be heard. bar
00:21:42Uiggur, africa
00:26:43our show this week. Somali piracy is showing signs of
00:26:48So what is driving this resurgents and how
00:29:07the stories the pains of how people were tortured in these places, I never
00:29:10believed it until I saw, and when I saw I couldn't unsee
00:29:14it. It's so important for people to
00:29:16understand colonization in order to understand what's happening in the
00:29:20world, and here in in in Palestine, it's, it's
00:29:24happening now, so how
00:29:28does the world completely turn the blind eye to the
00:29:31Israeli? continuous violence and stills and sees
00:29:35Israel is the victim, this is the big question, and the truth is the
00:29:39palestinians have been oppressed and suppressed and murdered
00:29:43and controlled and dispossessed for decades, that's just the
00:29:47truth, هم زادونا قوه كل مره هم
