9:02 pm
continues to face accusations of playing role in the genocide of nearly 1 million titzis and moderate hootos. kenyons reject imf us medaling. in april, 2021, kenya entered into a $3.6 billion dollar deal with the international monetary fund in exchange for savage take hikes under the finance bill 2024. this bill was part of a structured debt repayment plan imposed by the lending body that reports directly to the united states. the finance bill was seen as a brutal attack on the working class and rural masses already suffering the soring cost of living, warsen since the covid-19 pandemic and the war in ukraine. kenyans are well aware that the draconian finance spell was imposed on the government of president william ruto by the imf. british sure defined. bill wasn't
9:03 pm
proposed by ruto, it was proposed by the imf. the kenian masses have vowed to continue their protests until the country disentangles itself from the imf and us imposed predatory economic system. president ruto initially opted to listen to policy advice from the bretton woods institutions and this angered kenyons, particularly the generation z. experts believe the government now must de decolonize the kenion. economy while meeting the aspirations of kenyans for developed and democratic country. if you look at the imf and the world bank, these are banking institutions. they look at profit over people, they look at how to maximize money, and so if you are dealing with them, you should be mindful that the relationship with them, it's not going to be a win-win
9:04 pm
situation, despite president ruto's withdrawal from the draconian tax bill, sacking of his entire cabinet and scrapping of unpopular expenditure such as funds dedicated for use by the presidents and deputy president spouses, protesters are demanding that he steps down. there's growing concern that unless there is a dialogue, the country risks sliding into anarchy like sudan after omar al-bashir. was forced to step down, ruto came to power by assuring the downtrding, assuring the youth, assuring the unemployed, and so all of sudden for them to be experiencing what is going on, the resistance will come on, and i think kenya is society that i can fores. not going the way
9:05 pm
of sudan, they will be able to manage the situation and will be able to fight it to the extent that what the people want is what exactly they will get, we doubt disrupting the sovereign stability, and you must know that what the people are doing in themselves is part of checks and balances of... the stewardship of leadership, but the three arms of governance are not able to check themselves well, the popular uprison of the people would constitute a form of checks to ensure good government. kenya's youth unemployment rate is almost 20% with over 83% of people working in the informal sector. the protests in kenya inspired wild optimism because they are led. by young, eloquent,
9:06 pm
educated canyons who are not tainted by political or tribal allegiance, they buy cars, they're just enriching themselves, meanwhile, many percentage of kenyans are languishing in poverty still, they have people who do not have access to education, would not have access to healthcare, these unprecedented protests across kenya are expected to herald far reaching changes in this east african economic powerhouse, they are we. this struggle in diversity, in the midst of diversity, they are not looking at it from the tribal background, they are not looking at it from the political background, they are looking at it from how the nation to stand and stand independent, where the sovereignty of the republic will be respected, and so that is... novelty, they
9:07 pm
are not being turn into groups or divisions, because if they are being turn into groups or divisions, the enemy will infiltrate and penetrate. because divided they are, they will lose the fight, and so it looks like the kenyan youth have really defined a path of unity and seen themselves at kenyans, first and foremost, and for that matter, it is their duty to protect the sovereignty of kenya and move it forward in a way that they will all be happy in his. that they want. kenyan protesters are also calling for the ejection of the us ambassador to kenya, make whiteman, saying she is the one pushing for unpopular policies aimed at further impoverishing the masses. she's a well-known
9:08 pm
billionaire within us-tech giants. kenya's former prime minister rila odinga reminded the ambassador that kenya is no longer a colony of the united states. kenya is not united states, kenya is not a call of united states, keep your your mouth shut otherwise we call for your call back to your country, make whiteman and the imf are seen by many as the greatest threat to kenya's sovereignty as nation. billionaire white man is said to have accepted her appointment as a us ambassador to kenya at behes of exploitative us malta. nationals irrate kennans say her presence in nairobi is endangering the country's sovereignty. you know very well that the imf and the world bank have owners and when they have owners, the owners are being sent
9:09 pm
outside to fight for the interest of the imperial powers and i don't think the youth will be. but demanding or calling for this in a vacuum, there should be a reason. recently, ruto was welcomed in the white house, recently, ruto was convinced to send policeman to haiti, and this has raised lot of questions within africa, and where is it all coming from? i mean, the source of all these things. and we all know is no more secret that state embassies are source of information to powers that be, and if they have examined and they know that the
9:10 pm
ambassador is one of the problems of kenya and they want her to leave. "it rest on the demand of the people. africa's protest movements are growing in the world's youngest continent where 70% of the population are under the age of 30. young people across africa have looked at the mass protests in kenya as inspiration because imf provides loans to desperate african governments on brutal terms that impact negatively on the poor. africa is the youngest continent where 70%." the population are under the age of 30, the protests by young canyons are expected to spread to other countries. the imf has never helped any country in africa to succeed, i'm yet to see one or told. we all know that all
9:11 pm
these measures affects the youth who graduates from the university, they finish with their national services and then they say the public sector is choke. and there are no opportunities for them elsewhere to work, and so finally you see them tracking along the sahara desert and mediterraneancy to europe for green passat. we saw what happened in senegal, we saw the popular rising of the youth in senegal. have you forgotten of the arab spring, what happened? so what is happening in kenya is equally happening in many african countries. and many of the youth are patiently waiting, there's time for everything. i think this is the time african leaders should make it major topic at the au
9:12 pm
summit to discuss the effects and dangerous policies of the imf and world bank bited the citizens of citizens in africa. we must look at it, if not to come to a time that the whole continent will be turned upside down because of foreign niocolonial policies. which are not are not too different from the slavery activities. france's complicity in rwanda genocide. it is known that in wars between states, the assassination of the army commander or the head of state signifies an un equivocal victory over the other party and often leads ending the war in favor of the
9:13 pm
perpetrator. this does not happen when the other party is an unconventional army. replacing the leader with another does not require a transitional period. in fact, the leader himself often participates in selecting his deputy before his departure. this is the case of the lebanese resistance hisbullah. the military structure of the resistance was not affected by the assassination of its leaders by zinist israel because it is inst. institutional structure capable of injecting new blood and providing alternatives. hez unhindered by assassinations this week on the media stream. rwanda is this year commemorating the 30th
9:14 pm
anniversary of the 1994 genocide, a period of around 100 days in which up to 1 million tutsies and moderate hutos were killed by huto militias while powerful countries, including france and the united states stood by and refused to stop the mass killings. study commissioned by rwanda government states that france did nothing to prevent. and forseeable april and may 1994 genocide. ruwanda's president paul kagame says lessons learned during the genocide are engraved in blood. our journey has been long and tough. rwanda was completely humbled by the magnitude of our loss. and the lessons we land are engraved in a blood. various reports
9:15 pm
indicate that french government and military officials were involved in supplying weapons to the perpetrators of the 1994 rwanda genocide. additionally, evidence from official french archives revealed that during 1994 genocide in rwanda, paris allowed the perpetrators to flee and many went into hiding in france. the direct involvement of france in the rwanda genocide is seen as a continuation of its neocolonial medaling in rwanda and other african countries. the involvement of france in the unfortunate rwanda genocide uh is likely driven by a combination of geopolitical factors as well as strategic uh interests. at that time france tried to maintain its its influence in the... region, especially in africa, particularly in the in the concept of trying
9:16 pm
to stay closely with its former colonies, although rwanda was not a colony of france, it was really close to other colonies of france like the you know regional countries, drc, and all that that had lot of that had links to... uh to rwanda, so the concept of frank africa was still active and so it tried to keep ties with its former colonies and therefore it tried as much as it could to influence political decisions and directions, you in those colonies and that was where uh rwanda came into picture, so it was more self-serving uh that it was influencing genocide in in r. in hoping that it will be in its own uh favor, in its own diplomatic
9:17 pm
interest. for the majority of the early modern period, most christian churches, both catholic and protestant, supported slavery and colonialism in africa. that did not end there. the catholic church was accused of being close to the huto-light government in 1994 when nearly million people were killed in 100 days. however, it was only in 2017. that pope francis, upon meeting the rwanda and president paul kagami, officially asked for forgiveness for the catholic church's role in the 1994 genocide. a genocide survivor narrated:
9:19 pm
during the 20th anniversary commemorations in april 2014, kagame accused the catholic church of having participated fully in establishing the colonial ideology that created the divide between hutus and tutsis, which he claimed led to the genocide. it took many years for the catholic church eventually apologize for its role in the rwanda genocide. first we must understand that the church is a complex uh entity, it's a complex institution. while the church itself is supposed to provide so call uh a place of go and peace and growth for people, sometimes humans have manipulated the church and used it for really despicable things, so it is the nature of the church, the catholic church especially to take its time, considerable
9:20 pm
time to go through uh a process of acknowledging wrong and then um accepting. to apologize, we've seen that with the cases that the popees had to apologize with children that were violated by fathers in the church, and they had to open up inquiries and check what people were saying, and then at some point accepted that this did happen, and therefore they need to apologize for all that happened, so that is one, secondly, the reluctance for the... just to to apologize is because of the moral burden that that hangs on on those who were involved, because uh, yes, the church will ordinarily offer some sort of protection, at the point where it couldn't do that, it must acknowledge that and seek for you know forgiveness from all
9:21 pm
those involved, after the genocide in rwanda, western powers claimed that never again will the world witness a genocide. 30 years later, the world is witnessing alive israeli genocide against palestinians in gaza. just like in rwanda, western powers led by the us are directly involved in this unprecedented genocide that particularly targets palestinian women and children. clearly the world did not learn from the rwanda genocide. the assumption that the world has not learned from the rwanda genocide. uh is a is poegnant reflection and reminder that indeed uh the world has failed again, humanity has failed once more uh watching that murderers onslot on helpless civilians is going on in gaza and it is being beamed on the screens across the
9:22 pm
world and then you have the un, you have other you international bodies are paying leap service. to uh the claim that genocides will not happen again, that that you know they need the des for peace in the world and they watch the mass murder and slaughter of helpless citizens of appless civilians, of women, of children, destruction and decimation of schools, you decimation of markets, you know poisoning of of water supply, you destruction of access access to to... to to food aid you know of people who are defenseless, so i mean most of the time it is just leap service uh and that is what we can see, because how is rwanda uh any... better than palestine or gaza as the case may be, but uh people who feel that you know that might is right have continued to be on the
9:23 pm
side of israel, however most of the world have clearly stated the their support for palestine, support in itself leap support does not count when you cannot officially stop and condemn the actions of you know the appatite state of of of. of israel and it's action against you know helpless civilians in gaza. 30 decades after the rwanda genocide, neighboring democratic republic of the congo is said to be undergoing what is being termed as slow genocide. the people of congo have been holding countless protests demanding an end to the massacre of civilians. congolase citizens, we have said no, it is not possible for our... those citizens to continue to be massacred in the ruchu territory. we say no to this ignoble act perpetrated by the m23 in kishishe, and we say no to the silence of the
9:24 pm
international community. the government of the democratic republic of the congo says the country's civilians are killed by militias, particularly the m-23 rebel group backed by rwanda, a country that is itself victim of genocide. the authorities in rwanda. have rejected these allegations, these killings are taking place in the mineral rich eastern part of congo, neighboring rwanda, what we have is that we have the m23 who are actively operating in drc, say to be supported by rwanda, but rwanda has consistently denied that it had any links with3, unfortunately civilians are being hit targeted, military is... losing lot of uh you know lot of its uh infrastructure to the control of the rebels um what we also know is that the activities
9:25 pm
of neighboring country like like uganda ruwanda you know uh is affecting there's militia groups over 100 militia groups you know uh expressing their brivances on healed you know uh brievances and until the the truth commission to call all all parties involved to table to address these concerns uh it may continue and was it what we keep hearing are several forms of violations you know you have rape and massackers sexual violations at force displacement you know secretion of farm lands by by these forces and it's continued it's continually affecting the lives of you know uh residents in you congo, international community will continue to play service, because what you hear today is today, monusco you know has been deployed
9:26 pm
as united nations keeping mission, you have sometimes regional supporters, regional help from sadek, comesa joining in to see how we can help, but at the center of all of this is the illegal exploitation of the mirror resources of uh mineral reach combo and uh we must move beyond plane leap service, there has to be a true commission that look at issues and address it frontline and make it once and for all a sorted issue uh in summary when you look at the violences and there's an complex interplay between the local, the regional and international factors that is uh causing all of these. violence continue to escalate. thanks for watching africa today,
