  • fast_forward00:00:50 - These just devastating floods. We've got a whole bunch of sources to dig through.
  • fast_forward00:01:50 - Losing everything. Absolutely. Losing their homes, their livelihoods, their sense of security, just everything.
  • fast_forward00:03:40 - Right. They talk about how Cameroon, well, they release excess water from the dam and it flows right into the Benue River. Oh, so it just adds to the problem.
  • fast_forward00:04:40 - It's like a perfect storm. But then fast forward a decade to 2022 and it feels like, well, like we're just hitting rewind.
  • fast_forward00:05:20 - The government blamed climate change. Which, I mean, fair.
  • fast_forward00:06:50 - Overflow. Exactly. Now, imagine someone's just randomly dumping buckets of water in there too.
  • fast_forward00:09:34 - Let's do it. Where do we even begin with a problem this massive? Well, one big area is the infrastructure. We got to invest in it, especially those drainage systems.
  • fast_forward00:12:05 - This needs a coordinated effort. And not just the government, but the communities, organizations, even internationally. Oh right.
  • fast_forward00:16:06 - It's connected to all these bigger issues, but with effort from everyone.
