a week out of counselors carried out educational outreach work in the community. oh yeah yeah or from the how. you. read them or were you giving them. they have a link that goes with one line and i like. monday right. there how how do you know you mature at that i meet you i don't i do that's how do you actually got it and have a very. well thought of how that is that we. are doing that how do we. want to discuss house words with the counselors. she's eighteen and pregnant with her first charge. she's had to for i want to cut.

wiley time like. the wyly touched. him so that. my. kind of not. who could. have. come with. me and was going to. go to hell. it would have been a total lie and there might be a lot of us going to. the. in

a bear market rally anywhere why not why poland come against the south are not acting like in. some local thing to see the mayor or have not. had a lot of time or other hand i have loved but honestly the loop will have been a day. of being talk on top of my god the man who not really clearly we could talk a little hasn't asked me out. here big. be so long my teacher might be behind some. of the day. i'm so bored but i just feel like. why do you think somaliland have the highest percentage when it comes to f.e.m.

globally it takes time to leave the cult her grandmother does and mother does they still hold on with the suturing and if g.m. especially the grandmother sad very very close or they are there they will look if there was a lady who had three girls she came to me at the hospital i told her go back to the whore and see i did the operation she is spirit killer for describing mother when the guests are going to authorities she goes after the she listen is the most of their lord and oh because when the careless of course i sit there smallness with with how do you want to because it is like a drop this big to the who she cried she said all my daughter the good saddle that you need to like a boys what you did you did nothing do you think that eventually

people will abandon this eventually but to do is take. as i watch these young people at a wedding reception i wonder how many of the men would be willing to marry an uncut woman in the future. for saying i look a generalist post as an m t f g m message in social media i was curious to know why i did the facebook status where you said some men believe after jam deduces a woman's sexual desire they say this increases her appeal what made you write this

i want to talk because it's problem for the old goddess. to say against. plate of the goddess a human in our midwest when you will get my do you want to my family has cut their own cut and cut ok are you married know you want to be learned someone was cut or non-corrupt come on who you really. should target some of. the county and this other going to be a such a big god. in liverpool you only got a one off event about them. nothing it's all that i incur a load of shit on which to. i am a woman. i come from a culture that also practice is that i am not cop. i know other woman based on what other women have told me that if there is no there is no good in it if they tell you this is hurting us this is literally killing off and we need to

stop we do then listen. it doesn't come in. we heard today saw in tolosa gossip mill. the dog whistle. i'm surprised that a young man should feel so strongly about holding on to this tradition when so harmful. if after g.m. mr brand changing men's attitudes will be essential. to have not done university hospital collects detailed information on trends in female cutting. medicare only since two thousand and two all antenatal patients are asked what kind of cuts have had and if they intend to cut their daughters. they were kind enough to.

say this is rare to see a woman who is. my daughter. in two thousand and two ninety seven percent of female patients had undergone the pharaonic cut and most intended the same for their daughters. but that has changed. improvement in the type. and the return to having now entire one to which they calls. but if they were risking cuts so. one is the one that this is a little bit the tip but tied to a dictator how fast can a truce we know or cuts doesn't have any benefits. i just. talked to my current doctor shukri introduces me to a friend who's at the hospital on a post natal liver she gave birth order days ago oh so there was

a very interesting burst of that sort of stuff from. the midwife and know the harmful effects of for only cutting from passing experience. was something else all along but as at that time. so few pay when i want to mutilate i can't. on the club and will cut and cut on my for the tour secondly in the last couple of while your car you took. the festival the way i feel in that winning sixteen get is the minister we should second. i feel a lot of pain bad they. don't get to see this problem this is filled with tears and there's some cycle communication i feel and i feel that talk on the condition when a medic. did the scan for that cut and never feel that today

he was saying fred if it is pete. did you feel any resentment towards your mother and your grandmother yeah but to the mother ship question. yet. as i'm leaving somalia i feel privileged to have met a woman who share the stories with me. but i'm overcome with emotion as i realize factually every woman here has been caught. and was it actually. i've always known about the numbers and the facts and the figures but when you come face to face to all woman who've gone through it it seems like the woman who have to endorse this and the children who have to endure this you go through cycles of pain . for what. has happened

to so many women and girls like my mom. i'm so happy that she. i don't know why should the didn't come off that i'm so grateful. because my life would have been so much different because to feel good. over the go through that pit. to go through that and then not to be able to do something that it's a it's a god given thing to peek. you can't pee. and then your comments today show and then when you have to have sex you don't enjoy it and it's like painful. and then you have to give bursts and then it just continues. i'm so grateful that. i didn't go through without and when i meet. this woman who had to go through it.

i've come to kenya to find out more about a totally different culture. and over forty tribes here with diverse cultures and traditions. the majority don't practice a cut at all. but to several including the must die cutting has been a centuries old tradition until recently. today meeting twenty eight year old nice and getting. myself managed to totally write the kate f.e.m. and have village of my young not. traditionally

for the messiah cutting is a rite of passage marking the transition from girlhood to womanhood usually between the ages of mine and fourteen. the ritual involves the most of you talk of cutting . we lost his release because of what i used to see gas even if they're trying to be strong but you can see that definitely in a lot of other leading. these. nice with the only gun her village who refused to be cut. out of my classmates were from this community all of them. and they didn't they were not able to. they have to find a husband for you. so right now almost all of them have three four five children and a. jumble. what's

your name but in this oh what a beautiful name have they been the second thought. no they have been fact i'm saved how do you feel about not being caught. so what would you like to do when you grow up. thank you and. as a result of nice's determination to end f.e.m. no young girl has been cut here since two thousand and twelve. the messiah and a patriarchal society. and i first have to persuade the young warriors called moran's to help and the practice. recruiting douglas the leader of them runs was the beginning. what did you do nice to make them change their opinion about their

family that was their first doesn't work cept my walk the resistance was there from all over but then again i had them have a treat because when i go to them i'll go with someone like that last so i'll make sure that he talks before i talk so what did you do to persuade them around in the community. it was very hard for us to continue the boys because the say that they can not. because even god is not something that she is not a woman then if we need an example of some of the dead that we have seen in the community they say ok it's true and let's forget it i think it took more than five years for them just to accept it now we decided to come up with some time until we came up and let the parade go by said. the kind of god from this community and we want them to upgrade because. we bless them then we look at the same cows that we celebrate hold together but we didn't cut so that's what we've come up with.

douglas bring some of his friends i'm around to meet me. yeah we mix of might it do more than ok and i might have more and do you know what actually happens when i cut you you know get along it would you go your hair and i'm very sorry and i would literally movie yeah when you're loving anyone i go. i don't know i am getting a more i don't know show you know you're more glad that i haven't gone down but i will you know when you know i want to be. around a graphic video over to you don't go with a knife. you know what i did that.

we were. going to do think. we're going to do you have a daughter. how would you feel if someone said she needed to be cut and that we were going. well i think it was one of the powerful tools we've been using when we address the issues of female genital mutilation and there was another wherry persuasive infanticide for the young warriors. when we see it as a moron as we talk and talk about sex you see most of the mortar rounds out of most of the men they say if they sleep with a company that god is very sweet insects now that's what also contains most of them what i understood say we don't need. yeah so ok so there's also a little bit. meeting

them a fire in the mine young gives me hope. if one woman can change attitudes in one village perhaps with time it's possible to change entire countries. where they are online when you're looking at wildlife and how the solutions come together to benefit all parties and that's where we're going to see long term stuff or if you join us on sat if you could take me around the content where would you take me you don't have the set up your experiment and your experiment in the universe this is a dialogue everyone has a voice you actually raise several interesting point there that several of our community members are going to join the global conversation on al-jazeera.

let up in i witnessed of the cut that her kids are not allowed to witness an eleven year old and this community before me in two stages this was the first since . a slate cut. yeah that's done in public with the presence of men and women and young girls and young boys and this here yes we see it yet we see it but they just you know it's got just a minute it's the first day that women are taken to and then that are taken to a secluded place like a bush so we sneaked in and what you just saw on the second states was so shocking my cousin was laying down there in a pool of blood yes and women were pinning her down and had to completely you know there's a one of us who really butchering half life you know how you cut pieces of meat. i was expecting it's not to do this just that yeah but she was really doing this you

know yes with a knife and she was screaming but ask claims were being covered by the women and singing and you know the trying to to to cover her screams and she was helpless what was left to their horse just like red flesh yes i still can't believe that this is something that we are still debating about. honestly. it was this traumatic experience that made dr refused to become a motivator to have to set up a charity to help and if you. were heading to the village of sandwich with one hundred sixty girls are preparing for an attorney divide to buffer settlement. we just saw me to be lazy because intelligible to us and you know that they did. the trip to sandwich from the till of house six two and a half hours through mountain passes and bumpy roads. to school

and this is good. for the wellcome when we get makes it worse or. in the pocket culture cutting traditionally involves a celebration in which the whole community takes part. the girls are rehearsing their dances for the alternatives harmony. is real life come in it was beautiful i don't expect to see the focus committed love and seeing and hearing we wanted people to know that we love our culture we know we love every bit of it only but from the cut yes it was this way the feel of that is certainly not important here the teachers are from the same community. the girls

received four days of lessons before their graduation day. was no no no i. don't know about. today they're learning exactly what f.j. i'm involved and the health complications using models. about the madonna no no no no no no no no. no i led nowhere that you were. here i am not going to deliver someone to become us to. you know go on a good burma get an open. i mean you're the bomb on what or when you know when you want to look good i. think a lot of. when you have been cats you put into seclusion for one month whereby your thought how to become a good ways how to treat your husband how to cook so we do the opposite we bring the girls in here we teach them. their children's rights work you know we did them about health implications of their dear there so it's basically same same thing

with the car to but a different teaching because they want these girls to be important people in the society rather than at my the thing i want them to learn her colleagues have had to work hard to change the attitudes of parents. in the pocket community a cut girl can bring significant economic advantage to a poor family. a girl is made of a man brings diary into in terms of house and i'll tell you that it for this community the play of praise is quite high especially the girl is young and that most people tend to that it has to older men because they bring a good number of culls as much as many of articles because of poverty situation they're tending to their girls when they're still young and then they marry them off and they get there is quick quick quick quick quick well so much of the girl worse foreign cut girl you can actually be given away at

a ferrari place million years back for they might even give you away for free. because they just want to get rid of you body and you not. go back to moore's graduation the girls who think dance to some composed by looking musician lucky to have a pass on a reason for wanting to and. a swat team you think is done. because done claim it in the. style of. no one helped or my meeting again i'm gonna ball or a leg but i've got a knee he will gnaw. jony he said. to me. what was the name of your sister clementine clementine

how old was she living here. going to a government and the more local moran. had been illegal in kenya since two thousand and one. but around here the law has been largely ineffective. and. just one sixty guys they've got around this village on their villages around. most of them are still being cut i mean we have not been able to reach out to everybody this is a big big big land you know it's a big county. i find out from them to know that's one of her younger sisters run

away to be cut with friends. i know down to less years but i wonder if the older generation a mother and grandmother supported her sister's decision she takes me to meet. me. that will mean you are on my. team good luck that. i never get more. vocal than you the. morning leading down you probably know we're a little bubble with them at the barn you can now go on a little utility. and when you're in the beginning we wanted out of one of the you know the phone not. looking for the. most. we're. not

going to buy you know i'm going to get really mad at the it's not funny so she wrote her thing in the forest really. so you're against that because of the law but in your time if there was a good. idea well as you know what they've. done. i've heard. he. broke the law and i want you to know the meaning you know. what i'm gonna do the well you me. the bit that's all my letter that girl. got a commercial. meeting them till of crime

other makes me appreciate why the key to ending f. jamming with is keeping girls in school. that way pants don't have to rely on a dowry to help support them their elders educated girls can pay for their own cows . today the time to write of passes is being held in the market square and some. hundreds of people from many different religious have come to with misallocation yes folks so.

that was very happy. that it was a find out that some medical staff made great sacrifices to be here today that. other many of your friends here doesn't or do today have one on me a number of it. is just you hear no one else from the village. so that means they would become. politico again with opiates are you here today are. there not to. handle that man down and that's a minute then. for anyone here just along with. let's go enjoy. with another go who catches my

eye a minute so. barely even last impression on me. the presence of dignitaries here is a testament to them till a success it means i'll turn to try to process has a stamp of approval of important eldest into community. the vast majority of pocket people are christian and the graduation ceremony with the blessing. patterns and elders stand behind the girls that belong to their villages. yes yes yes. ma yeah.

it was wonderful and touching to see all the community leaders and the parents especially the father standing around the young girls symbolically it was like saying we have your back we have your back with support you and with a forty decision not to be cut it was wonderful to see. just wonderful. i wanted to meet. a leisurely elissa girl i know to starting a family she ran away from home after her father began beating her mother believing she was a responsible for the futile to be cut. you know this get away against susan. when you need.

the. money to men and. women all who don't live. under the. law. again i'm on a long that with only one done. so your family have shandor the push their way bowling only to meet the burden on him what do you say to young girls who are about to attend the alternative rite of passage or do said to them any what have i done i look really one eric i don't know marilyn many dylan look at. it with a number on the new community that. was cute i was

a little less because i'm in the generally illegal and near iran again well i'm not when you're home on the blogs again we're going to how they did in x. y. deal or at what i do that i want me to be detrimental so what are your hopes and dreams for the future but if you know i'm grown man and i don't show double the energy not i want to and we're going to jen i generally are pretty nimble on this is low will. cure does your job. crew be in school but is alethea cram. our main course then an arc i am i'm a lan why you you're some of the beaches. now meeting a lonely little demon all of a sudden my non-winning they're lit and it's a good reality nandini look at yemen american and was a new man in an enemy he was able to walk on the back of

that's a tough question. i think a very very because i can't imagine giving up you know you live your whole family behind your siblings your father and your mother i don't know what i would have done plenty again of the new together let it does he get a second if that rudy was she would. merely quantity a man you know. what i see when i look at you i think someone i can see a lot of sadness in your eye but i can also see strength and determination so i believe that one day you'll have your own family one day you have your degree i believe that you will achieve all of dreams so. spending time with them to learn has been an inspiration to me through had

resilience and example she's inspired so many others like ellie i'm sure in turn that element do the same yet. as i live kenya my sorts john to my family in sweden it's time to face my own taboos. yeah. back in stockholm i meet up with my old childhood friend and fellow writer translated with china in china. my space we're. actually at the mic and. neither of us know enough about why the cut is performed in our own culture i'm going to introduce you to some ladies like our parents' generation you know we are that generation that doesn't talk and i think is going to be interesting because they work with the subject you know let's go.

a little bit more towards the east but it does pick up a whole lot more moisture so this means we are deathly going to see flooding across much of this area and then as we go towards saturday sunday and possibly even monday this system is going to extend even more towards parts of the east well let's take a look what's happening down here across the southern parts of africa now looking too bad for most locations clear down towards cape down at twenty two degrees we are looking at better conditions for durban over the next few days at twenty three but it is going to be cloudy for johannesburg at twenty five and over here towards parts of gaborone we are going to see attempt a few of twenty eight. shawn the liers all staring down at what humanity done three miles of the no one will ever know how many heroes tonight on your screen right there is a good body right now is all robinson is when the shots came from the holiday and if you heard critics we heard the nobel overheard show really just want to break

the voices news agency stands by its reporting that members of the saudi royal family want to prevent the crown prince from ascending to throw. back to boyer watching al-jazeera live from a headquarters in doha also ahead a push for peace in yemen the u.n. envoy is due to visit the port city of who days where the u.s. says the saudi u.a.e. coalition has paused its offensive plus the filipino artists using their talents to fight back against what they fear is an increasingly authoritarian government. thank you for joining us denmark has joined germany in suspending weapon sales to saudi arabia over the murder of journalists. the saudi foreign minister has again

insisted that the crown prince mohammed bin solomon wasn't involved in the killing . has also denied reports that some members of the royal family want to block the crown prince from the throne but the reuters news agency says it stands by its reporting shihab rattansi has a report from washington. even as the saudi foreign minister insisted investigations were ongoing into the death of jamal khashoggi it was clear one possibility was not to be considered but the journalist was killed at the order of the highest levels of the saudi government which has made admitting that this was an operation that was that went wrong or people exceeded their authorities did something they're not supposed to do we have made it very clear that we're investigating that those who committed this crime will be protestants and that procedures will be reviewed in which to make sure it doesn't happen again you also dismissed a reuters report that some members of the saudi ruling family wanted to block crown prince mohammed bin salman from assuming the throne he so outrageous comments that

are being made are totally unacceptable the kingdom of saudi arabia is unified on this issue the kingdom sanjay is committed to its leadership the kingdom of saudi arabia is committed to the vision that our leaders have put forth for us in terms of vision twenty thirty and in terms of moving along the path of reform of the pentagon u.s. defense secretary james mattis discussed the administration's reasons for backing saudi arabia despite calls for accountability for casualties murder on the khashoggi affair he said presidents don't often get the freedom to work with unblemished partners in all things you don't mention the conflict in yemen if you want to end the war you're going to deal with saudi you can't say i'm not going to deal with them a rejection of the policy advocated by an increasing number of members of congress to apply pressure on saudi arabia to end the war by ending the u.s. arms sales upon which its offensive depends matters a statements echoed the doctrine of spiles by donald trump and his statement on tuesday the us is strategic interest supersede all else and i'll give it the received a withering response from the editor of the washington post who published

a market share g.'s articles i was astonished even after two years of kind of astonishing and dismaying things from this president this one was is really almost beyond belief and it's wrong on so many levels. i mean of course it's wrong to excuse the murder of. a journalist. of any human being which is doing but even tun a strategic basis you know i mean he seems to see it as well we can't worry about things like morality and human rights because we need saudi arabia but for now the trumpet ministration seems impervious to criticism of its explanation of what will act against saudi arabia she ever terms the old zero washington well there's growing concern that the u.s. president's refusal to criticize the saudi crown prince over the killing of jamal khashoggi could embolden human rights abuses around the world turkey has accused

donald trump of turning a blind eye tony but he has more from istanbul. president donald trump's statement of support for saudi arabia was perhaps no great shock in turkey but there was derision. yesterday statement is just comical the cia would know not only who killed them but what color the consulate cats were. the turkish government has said nothing officially but privately is angered by the u.s. president ignoring a horrific murder because of economic reasons and there are worries this could lead to other governments abandoning human rights if you have a situation in the united states where you have a leader which is hostile to principles if you have a situation where you have a new if you knew where many leaders who were once. defending human rights principles are now indifferent or silent or abuses taking place for example here in turkey or elsewhere i think this is a very. damaging time for human rights principles amnesty

is issued a report about how women activists have been tortured and abused in detention in saudi arabia but without the leverage of a powerful country like the us little is likely to change and without u.s. support it will be difficult for turkey to get answers from saudi arabia about who really ordered the killing of jamal khashoggi turkey's position actually stool we need to get an answer or let's say a conclusive answer from this saudi arabia state because most probably. united states the european union who were. there will not push this problem in a further turkey this is not just a political economic issue it's also a criminal one a murder has been committed and they want to investigate it and solve it but they say that investigation is being hampered by a lack of saudi cooperation. the turks are demanding details about the day mr

casady was murdered they have asked the saudis who if not the crown prince gave the order they want the men accused tried in a turkish court and they want to know where mr remains are but tookie can't force this alone it has to be an in international investigation under the powers of the un secretary-general. so it has to be an investigation where there is an experienced investigative team with the power to go anywhere they need to go to interview witnesses to interview suspects. only in nice circumstances i think genuine justice be impossible because this murder has gone from the realms of a tragic hollywood movie script to a political chess game it may be that with the help of donald trump saudi arabia has the advantage tony berkely al-jazeera istanbul and that's our speak to another of our correspondent mohammed mohammed so how will turkey respond to the saudi

foreign minister calls that it comes forward with all the evidence it has in just met. as for the we don't have an official reaction yet but we understand that the foreign minister is back in our car today and he's giving a press a joint press there with the top diplomats but then he come or green is told expecting an official reaction and questions are asked about the subject there in our car today in the next few hours however the general mood here in turkey is one of frustration of the u.s. administration decision there has to be has been capitalizing on the evidence that a letter has accumulated and sent to washington the cia has been aware of it president prompt has been aware of it and also even european leaders and intelligence agencies well it was shared with them so turkey has fought during the last several weeks that everything has been done to strengthen this case and makes the makes it. very very convincing one regards the american position but there was

that decision very clear very clear support by donald trump to crown prince mohammed and said man and now it is an open ended situation an open ended question in the united states they can use it any time against one hundred percent they can we came we can him and they can make him do whatever they want in the future and they can always use that of the reality or the truth and maybe it will be known now maybe it will be no until sometime in the future and that's something that's a chess game as our reporter just said between the u.s. and saudi arabia but turkey wants justice for. the and that's what they have concentrated on now now that they are frustrated with the american position they are looking to europe probably for alternatives we have seen that denmark has taken this decision to stop explore patients of weapons to saudi arabia alongside with germany so turkey could be trying now to refocus and oriented self to the europeans

to find alternatives in terms of political pressure on saudi arabia to to really give justice to. thank you for that mohamed valley life for us in istanbul. the war in yemen now in the u.s. defense secretary james mattis says the saudi u.a.e. coalition has pause its offensive around the port city of who data the u.n. special envoy to yemen is expected to travel to her data in late thursday the port is crucial for food aid supplies on wednesday martin griffith met hoofy rebel leaders in the capital sanaa that speak to algiers mohamed who is monitoring the situation in yemen forests from nearby djibouti fighting on hold in who data quoting to jim mattis mahmut what are you hearing from your sources about the situation there right now. well there is no letup in the fighting the overnight lows they have been in the past days. older giant militia who are part of the pro-government
