cocoa beans in west africa come from thousands of small farms, and pass through many hands. most big chocolate companies admit they don't know where all their beans come from. tony's, on the other hand, has long-term relationships with specific cooperatives. >> my tony's title is “lean the supply chain machine.” ( laughs ) >> reporter: and it's even developed its own online software to track every bag beans by lot number. >> we can trace back which farmers supplied the beans into that one lot number. it gives us sibility on traceability, basically. >> reporter: and tony's pays premiums to help farmers modernize and get out of verty. in ivory coast, for example, tony's is now paying about 68% more than the minimum price set by the government. that contributes to making the chocolate more expensive. >> well, in the u.s., this bar is a little under $5, and this bar would have cost it, let's say, $3.50 if we were paying the lowest possible price to farmers, but we don't pay the lowest possible price to farmers. we pay a dignified price. >> reporter: this problem is not exact

every time i traveled, whether it be still west africa, people stop me, can tell me how much we appreciate coverage. and our focus is not just on their suffering, but also on the more lifting and inspiring story. people trust to tell them what's happening in their communities in a clear and unbiased. and that's an african, i couldn't be more proud to be autumn. you ah, ah ah ah hey there, here's an update on grace said i want to keep your hanging so we'll show you later on friday out toward the be of can peach it may. we can slightly into a tropical storm, but it is on a collision course with central mexico. and potentially this could once again make landfall as a category one hurricane dumping upwards of about 300 millimeters of rain, flash flooding. certainly a big concern here. we are also keeping tabs on tropical storm honory as it moves up the atlantic could impact new england and the canadian maritime provinces. but this is out toward monday. so check back with us. we will continue to watch it as we head toward the desert southwest, our minds to no moisture. it takes a bit of a breat

what sort of response or action can we expect from west africa of west africa regional body? well, not just west africa, regional bodies very well. so i have to think about france mccolan called this a qu, within a qu, they have more than 4000 troops, and that's how many of them are stationed here in molly. and, and a key to this situation is the security that deteriorate. security situation, not just in molly, but in the region from molly. the attacks have spread to neighboring burkina faso. so for the french, but also for the west african countries and nations for them. security and molly is important because it ensures security in their borders and just today, just hours before this summit started, there was a talk in southern molly, an area that usually isn't prone to attack them. a police station with it was attacked by 5. policemen lost their life and although no one has claimed responsibility for this attack, they suspected that it is an affiliate gelatinous. slum while with the mean of couple of years ago they had kidnapped to kidnapped columbia and none there. so key

he went as a devout christian to west africa. he completed that voyage, he did it again, he completed another voyage, he did it again. he completed that voyage, he was going for a fourth slaving voyage, all the while writing letters to people saying, well, i do have a godly calling now, as he was carrying people into this killing bondage, but then before that fourth voyage, he had a stroke. he was prevented from going to sea by his doctor. then, 19 years later he wrote "amazing grace," and then 13 years after that, he made his first public criticisms of the slave trade. so it didn't happen quite as the myth would have it. but i would also say that when john newton turned against the slave trade, he was a very effective witness against it because he knew what happened on those vessels. he testified before parliament that some captains used those dreadful things called thumb screws. i dare say he did know that they used them because if you read his journal of one of his voyages, he describes using thumb screws himself on children.

just more trade more high quality trade and we can see this for example in west africa and there we're now beginning to see plans for the revival of car assembly plants probably garner in nigeria and because the borders the trade barriers are going to be reduced at the borders what are being reduced it's possible to develop car plants that will be serving the west african region as a whole and similarly in west africa the region grows a lot of cotton and most people wear cotton clothes and yet at the moment the textile industry is very thin and struggles to compete against chinese competition but we beginning to see one or 2 pointers to new investment in modern textile plants that can be internationally competitive so that west africans can grow the cotton that is then transformed locally into clothes for the local market david i mean if we're talking about anything or areas of industry as diverse as car manufacturing and also the cotton industry on the plus side i guess that means people have jobs but on the negative side is there potential here for the financial benefits to be genera

if you look at west africa, you are seeing this pattern. we saw what happened in mali, chad, niger, and you get a sense there is something wrong with that part of africa. centerjesper: this is a part of africa that is struggling in terms of economic development as well, in terms of quite a lot of measures of human development more broadly. these are states under pressure. one lesson i drew from the developments in mali is that even under civilian rule, the military is never far away. the military is always close to power, and that is the problem. the problem it is it is -- the problem is it is too easy for militaries to decide if their own initiative to draw a line and conduct a coup. there is a need for reform in the military structures. i am sure others are more knowledgeable about this than i am, but i think they are too close to power. and i also think that even in countries that are not in the midst of this kind of up people -- kind of upheaval, we need to have more committed conversations about what is happening with constitutional de

they found coastal groups all along west and west central africa who were willing to enter into an alliance with them. and engage in a trade that would be mutually beneficial and frequently the elements of this trade were the europeans would provide not only textiles and consumer goods, but firearms gunpowder which this client state would then use to attack its traditional enemies. and then bring those people back to the coast. trade those people to the slave ship captains frequently for more guns and ammunition and gunpowder. so this creates what historians call the gun slave cycle. so i think it's important to realize there is a very powerful african dimension to this, but you've got a bear in mind that it's it's organized basically through a divide and rule strategy on the part of the europeans. they were very good at that. one more time for one more question. when we talked about the 310,000 slaves that were delivered to america did that account for just coming from africa or did it also account from like south carolina trading first slaves from like the caribbean as well all this? okay

this would include just direct imports from west africa. but very important addition you make to the discussion. a significant number of slaves brought to north america were those reshipped from the caribbean. in fact, south carolina was, basically, formed as a plantation economy by people who emigrated from barbados. now, it took 'em a while to find their staple crop, which eventually became rice. but, yes, there are a great many kind of regional-slave trades, which will augment that number that i gave, which seems rather small. but the other thing to bear in mind is that there is a reproduction process, which causes the enslaved population in the u.s. to grow by leaps and pounds in the 18th and 19th century. thereby, providing, in that way, the labor power that the slave trade had to provide in places with different demographic regimes. okay? okay. thanks, everybody. see ya next time. >>> up next. american history tv joins tour guide eric finley to learn about the early history of mobile, alabama, and to visit africatown, a national histo

because i tried a mouse and now gimme a signal has been sent home to the countries in west africa and not to the press that they can take power back. fortunately, their military interventions are not the most useful, most of the time. and it's supposed to me, all right? yes. but what kind of message does the crew in gain a send to the rest of the african countries, particularly in, in west africa? does it increase the appetite of army officers to say, you know what, why don't we do the same thing? well, i think that has been a trend and it goes back at least 1015 years of a combination of 2 type, 2 types of crisis. i think we should think of military coups as a city of another kind of crew which has been happening across not just west africa, but the continent and widely, which is a constitutional crisis. you haven't come from presidents changing the constitution as well in order to stay in power. and you have a general sort of lack of confidence in the electoral system in many of the continents. and i think these things go together, in the sense that there is more room for maneuver o

and when you look at the west africa, you're seeing this path in which is basically military officers taking over in places like molly and you see what happens in body. you have now a new case, a chart, and then you have the failed. coo, inger, and you get a sense that there's something wrong about that part of africa. well, this is a part of africa that is struggling in terms of, of the comic development as well in terms of quite a lot of measures of human development more broadly. so you can see that these are states under pressure and in many ways that are not just about the weighted state of ministration is structured. but i think that that what one lesson that i do from, from the development in money is that even on the civilian whole, the military is never far away. the military is always close to power. and that is a problem. the problem is that it is too easy for different segments of the military establishment to sort of decide on their own initiative to draw a line and conduct the crew so, so there's definitely need for some form of reform in many of the military structures.

that's a concept in west africa that's largely an alien one, although obviously changing. but one of -- and because they hold customary rights to that land, they don't have a lot of legal rights. and so one of the things that happens when these concessions are granted by the liberian government, and, you know, obviously there is a lot of corruption that happens in that process, the people which were using that land -- so, for example, women in liberia are the farmers. and women do a lot of the agricultural work. they plant cash crops, subsistence crops. those cash crops are used to help support their kids to go to school. when that land is taken from them -- and if you look at these plantations, this one that emmanuel and i were on, you get lost. if you drive in there, if you don't know what you are doing, you can't find your way out because it is just oil palm after oil palm for miles in all directions. and they are on these little islands in this vast sea of oil palm, so they have no access to grow, you know, cash crops, subsistence crops and so forth. only 20 to 30 perc

so what we saw in the outbreak in west africa is they started evolving therapeutics and vaccines for ebola at the same time the outbreak was occurring. during the outbreaks we saw last year in the democratic republic of congo, we were able to use this vaccine to respond, to reduce the number of cases, and we were able to use the monoclonal antibodies, the therapies that were developed for ebola, for the first time to treat patients and reduce mortality. there is definitely similarities and things we can learn. i think we have a long way to go for ebola as well as for covid in terms of how we use these tools because that is what is important. a vaccine is a vaccine, but the way it is distributed, the timing of people to get it, that is the most important thing. this goes into the conversation about global equity, making sure there are not other areas that are immunized. what we have seen in other epidemic responses is any response that is not organized, not cohesive, and fractured not succeed. hashem: in latin america and africa, decades of civil wars, corruption, embezzlement have un

they didn't speak this in west africa. so the question is what happened to him that this is now the language that he speaks and everything that happened to him is encoded in that language. this is why these publishers didn't want to publish that or to read it or to be forced to read something. that wasn't what what they're used to hearing. they want they want to change it. so they can access it rather than changing themselves so that they can access what coastal i was talking about. okay, next one. as one of the descendants who spoke earlier today talked about alice walker's forward to barricoon and alice walker looks at barricoon as both. i show you know, he shows us closer shows us our wounding. and then he also shows us what the medicine is for that wounding. and so the wounding is this grief. the warning is this pain the wounding is his loss. the wounding is everything that he would never ever again be able to see or to experience. the loneliness you know the not only there he lost so much when he was uprooted from the

we witness military intervention with witness in west africa . and the other constitutional problem was in, i recall that resulted in the re election of president lawson water after his 2 year term. he's now at that time president. so i looked of african leaders, west african leaders are concerned that if the steps on a drastic steps are not taken, then calls will return to the west african sub region, an area known as a cool belt in africa. so that i believe this concern. but right now, as we speak, the leader of the military unit is in a meeting in this hotel in cannot creep along with the president of i recall on us and what tara and the president of gun. i was also the chairman of the community of west africa states trying to inform him the about the decision of course yesterday, and probably negotiate some people think that it is also a visit that could see the removal of president for condo has been in tension since he was overthrown by the military here, so we wait to see how when you go stations will proceed. we expect your statement at t

and that's, of course, exactly what happened in west africa, as well. it just happened earlier and more devastatingly. but that's just the first part of the equation. you know, case fatality rate is a marker, a report card, onhat ppens after you get infected, right? we also have racial disparities and other social disparities, as you've noted, in risk of infection. so all along that noxious path, we have to make interventions that lessen the risk for infection, but also that lessen the risk for a bad outcome once infected. and i think that is the goal before us with covid-19, just as it was a goal during ebola. now, why am i bringing this up as a controversial matter? because if the report card is only about disease control -- that is, stopping the epidemic -- and not about survival once infected, why is it that people would go to an ebola treatment unit to be isolated if they fear they will not receive care? and the answer is, they won't. right? and this was not new. treatment centers and treatment units that were really isolation and quarantine facili

this took place during germany's early 20th century colonization of what was then south west africa. all the court bits failed in may. germany agreed with the namibian government to provide $1300000000.00 in development aid for the next 2 years in germany has been dictating. and for me, it was like a case offer you ever met or relate this? and this person is the one to decide whether i have for it or not. and should that find myself guilty? what would be the best punishment or video that i can give myself so that that is how the whole process was not acceptable to the others to say the negotiations between the 2 governments excluded those directly affected by the genocide. when we 1st met eda hoffman, 4 years ago, she's been fighting for the direct payment of compensation. she fears the development aid will never reach the communities affected. her. our people took it to our resources. what people have become focused on during the genocide, these communities were robbed of their land and cattle today. many say they continue to suffer the legacy of being displaced. and that this chapt
