that's right that's 1.5. help countries. but. hello i'm richard gaisford and you're at the listening post here are some of the media stories we're covering this week the protests in lebanon a multifaceted story that many of the country's news outlets want no part of in ethiopia a showdown between

a media mogul and the winner of the nobel peace prize prime minister. post colonial residue governments in sub-saharan africa are still using laws that the called honest left behind to silence journalists and never mind the tear gas it is 11 on after all and the beats must go on for a week and a half now the streets of lebanon have been jammed with protesters the biggest anti-government demonstrations there for 15 years among the aspects of this story that stand out although it has since grown into a nationwide movement against a government corruption and economic mismanagement these protests were triggered by talk of a new tax on whatsapp and other internet cull services like facebook messenger and face time secondly while so much of lebanese politics is sectarian there is nothing factional about these demonstrations the issues are economic the protesters are a nonsectarian coalition not that you would know that watching some of the

television channels coming out of beirut unlike the movement they are supposed to become. much of lebanon's media is split along sectarian lines some of the more independent outlets have jumped on this story but those controlled by politicians have been spinning downplaying or just ignoring the unrest that's what happens when the media play a central part in a system that so many citizens are trying to change our starting point this week is beirut. watching television in lebanon these days on some channels at least is like watching a nation talking to itself. in. channels like. these are just running constantly on the interviews of the crowd basically telling the crowd to just be going to. talk about what happened

to their family about their story. i mean. these reporters they stand there and people just warm around them and wait for their turn. but others argue it does about. what it is they feel good of another talking about issues local issues bigger issues like you know having sectarian political system driven by warlords. it is that system the protestors are out to change. but it was economic issues power outages water shortages and proposed new taxes on the basics like fuel wheat even on line phone calls on platforms such as

what's the 1st brought people onto the streets which is where the. media come in with their built in by. lebanese politics and power are carved out political factions the president comes from a christian per the prime minister's office is reserved for a sunni muslim and the shia muslim always gets to be speaker of the problem some of lebanon's biggest t.v. channels t.v. future t.v. and are owned by who are aligned with those political parties then there is has bombers. and the state on channel tele liban both of which downplayed the demonstrations or ignored activists stormed taliban's offices in protest 3 other privately owned channels apparently with agendas of their own l b c m t v and alger did have all provided wall to wall coverage of the unrest.

by handful of. about 12 families. which is affiliated to the president's party and the very 1st night. was broadcast . on the ground have been forced to remove their logos from the microphone because protesters have refused to speak to them every single media every single newspaper has a particular political slant so it comes as no surprise that they think the front of them would not want to be broadcasting the protests with as much as m.t.v. and that are on the other side when we look at media we need to understand that live television is one of the keep that form of media and so the majority of the stations with the exception of tele paul is out broadcasting the channel. which is tied to the speaker of parliament nabih berri also one of the powerful figures this channel has no reporters in the ground they are putting

a shot of the crowd and whenever they hear a protest chant they don't like they actually use the sound of the entire broadcast . so it's hilarious to just turn on channel and it's really their speech that these channels are literally speeches and b n and over t.v. and others al not trying to direct what's happening so that cause they have pundits on air and they kind of dip in and out of the protest very strategically in this fight their best efforts they still can't really control and direct the crowd but they're trying very hard to do so. spare a thought for lebanon's prime minister saud hariri future t.v. channel his family controls suspended operations last month due to financial difficulties hariri must feel like he's at a political gunfight factional free for all having been suddenly disarmed of his own channel. given all the criticism old t.v.

has been taking for its coverage we asked for an interview we were told there an official at the free patriotic movement president michel party could speak for the channel that official defended old t.v.'s journalism and directed our attention elsewhere to the coverage on l b c m.t.v. and alger d. o t v it is cooperating in the midst of this this is taking place on the street sending the porters sometimes to all star surroundings and to use for the porters be cursed at last. because they're hard to pull to be. from the government side which is not the case some of these stations was part of that speech inciting people whereas usually you get all of the media is to just take the pulse of the city and the people 'd the top is happening look at international t.v.

stations and you see a t.v. station and inviting people to watch and manifestations will bush and she little know what they call for that and this is how it should be done. we look at for example support had just described channels inciting citizens to join the demonstrations although we found no now good deed has tweeted out videos of lebanese celebrities urging the channel's followers to go out on the streets and some of those channels reporters have lost or at least parked their objectivity on this story. to the. correspondent to be a for example went viral after helping a protester escape arrest while she was live on the air as she was talking to another demonstrator a young man was called out of the crowd by assuming security forces.

what she said at the time was that she had seen the same man distributing food to other the newspapers the thing and that she knew she had to take the stand on the side. i think was a commendable moment as journalists were often pushed towards this creed of objective if you are asked. but in reality journalism should be a service in the public interest and this is from there and i think this is precisely why this moment by all. the prevailing distrust lebanese have in their mainstream media has led them to lean on social media to share information but unlike the arab spring and regardless of the what's at bangle this is no facebook revolution in some ways it's bigger than millions of lebanese of all sects

are not just out to bring down a tape or a mirror cover they want to overthrow assistant secretary into the cold right down to the t.v. channels that are supposed to be telling their story they're basically. regardless of what our politicians tell us no matter how our media choose to report levanon. down the media. is drawing on them back to dialogue with the alternative political group because there seems to be representation in the right alternative to the current political leaders of. their. political fight that are better equipped better rounded that how legitimate hear from them and they need to be given a stronger voice in the mainstream media so that we can actually lead our country forward.

we're looking at other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers tara tara 2 weeks ago the ethiopian prime minister abi ahmed wins the nobel peace prize he helped forge that peace deal with neighboring eritrea ending a military stalemate that lasted 20 years and this past week a major media owner in the country says that he's now being targeted by government agents what's the story so richard this is a story about 2 powerful men in a new and a relationship that looks like it's gone from the prime minister took power in 2018 after wave of government protests and like you say he's just been awarded a nobel prize one journalist said the obvious rival was the time and obama moment for putin's the media mogul you mentioned. he was a journalist and. a controversial figure for a lot of people but very much credited as a galvanizing force and he showed videos and protests strategies from his living

room coming newsroom in minnesota after. joe was returned to ethiopia a very influential player with a formidable new station at his disposal the iranian. media network this is a hard job was the crime the prime minister when we spoke to him last year the kind of freedom that we see in the orbital days unprecedented that everybody has this doubt in their mind is this is this a dream is it going to last is this guy going to go on to another dictator where we're 20 not support in but we're going to call his feet to the fire as well because there are a lot of promises he must kill so that's on prime minister in july 28th now on tuesday the prime minister issued a thinly veiled threat to jawad in parliament saying if he continues to stir up unrest and undermine peace the government would quote take measures sounds like it

didn't take long for those measures to take place well joe was that later that evening a group of police officers showed up at howth after midnight tried to dismiss his security detail and there was a kind of confrontation. goes on facebook and let's not forget this is the guy who mobilized the masses in 2018 and thanks to his 1750000 followers by wednesday morning there were thousands on the streets including outside his home which you could say is rather convenient timing because this week also hinted who run for prime minister next the government meanwhile have categorically denied try to arrest him or harm him i'm sure the nobel people will be watching with interest from stockholm thanks to our. next we're moving to a media story whose roots date back to the late 19th century european powers were setting sail for africa sweeping across the continent colonizing country after

country once they took power they wrote laws designed to ensure that the colonised would not rise up against the colonizers laws that could also be used to silence censor intimidate or jail journalists. who refused to toe the line come the late 1950 s. africans began revolting and over the next decade or 2 most countries would win their independence however much of the colonial legislation remains in place and there is now a growing list of journalists in sub-saharan africa falling afoul of those laws and they were never written with contemporary democratic societies in mind the listening posts nick knew or had now on the colonial era laws that still determine what can and cannot be reported in parts of sub-saharan africa. or 2018 in the democratic republic of congo newspaper editors that was funny. was

jailed for publishing articles critical of a bank she was prosecuted under a defamation law dating back to 940 when the d r c was a belgian colony in november 2 10165 zambian radio journalists were arrested for allegedly calling a member of the ruling party a useless person they were charged under section 179 of the zambian penal code which dates back to british colonial times and in another former british colony courts one makani a newspaper editor at the sunday standard published a report that the former president was involved in a late night car crash he was charged with sedition i told my lawyer that you know what i am going to plead guilty to say he said i believe i did that i think and he . will be but there was a 10 year government and they got me excited about that but i was very disappointed

that they go there because they had to go we need only opportunity we had the chinese the constitutionality of this edition so sedition. compared to a lesser fence of defamation which are much more used to is very specific to care and. it is people at the pinnacle of power in any society there are some shit as that the said comments remarks views expressed have the potential of causing and national security threat or a public order threat one suspects that because the the newspaper was so independent then had been writing about other matters that was clearly upset in the government of the day that they used that as an excuse to move against the journalists the irony of course is that the world looks up and sees it as a bastion of democracy and stable rule in sub-saharan africa and yet

some fortunately sedition still remains a crime in botswana and it is used to close down the democratic space. which is by design colonial you're a horse weren't written to protect democracy but to limit dissent in countries like britain france and belgium established the african colonies in the late 19th century the new colonial administrations expected journalists who were almost exclusively white and mostly compliant to highlight the achievements of government perpetuating the notion of african dependence on colonial rule they also want to be opponents silenced and a legal framework was created for that. but when the colonize ation process began in the late 1950 s. an african governments started coming into power securing independence was the

priority not media freedom and the new leader is so valued in the laws that they inherited what happened after independence when our leaders to call before they were calling for a free media but after they changed. they decided to use the strategy that was used by the koran yet they are colonial masters and there was a reason for that why because their nation building projects the forcing of people to now identify themselves as it says zambia. now have to be centrally managed or centrally controlled so in order to do that no new governments found it necessary to send a single message as the only voice that had their good intentions and everybody else was destroying what this government was trying to build our leaders

say the media is an opposition. you know and. they don't understand the role of the media because the only generation 'd. of our leaders were hiding behind this idea of nation building and cohesion we contacted multiple governments that still have colonial era laws in place to ask why decades after independence those laws are still on the books none of them got back to us it's not just the legacy of colonialism that lingers on in africa but the legal residue of apartheid in south africa this year marks 25 years of democracy in the country but journalists there still have to contend with laws that were designed to preserve white minority rule. 982

protection of information act gave some of that because apart take government sweeping powers to keep secrets and silence journalists in a democratic iraq many of the provisions in that glow are deemed unconstitutional but that hasn't prevented its use a big surprise was last year when an investigative journalist. who had. in a book called the president's suddenly found himself on the receiving end of a police raid this was. the stance simply because he had confidential information from the intelligence services in his possession he's been charged under this act and while the case has been moved ahead against him it's still hanging over his head. the ruling african national congress has made several attempts to replace the $902.00 protection of state information act its version the

protection of state information bill even made it through parliament. but campaigners journalists and lawyers said it was new only in name and still gave the state unconstitutional powers the bill remains unfinished business it's been on the president's desk for 6 years now awaiting signature until then the apartheid era law remains in force. historically always aside there's an unwritten cultural code in the region it's called into the idea in african culture that a shared sense of humanity builds and binds communities the challenge for modern day african societies and their leaders who are no longer united by the common goal of ending colonial rule it's hard to reconcile the reverence of a point true with the irreverence of critical journalists not too long ago in this very same. criticizing a public figure especially political leadership could be sitting. but

attitudes are changing as people begin to identify themselves often as text messages in this way that their concerns these days are less about jan i dislike him and more about the media is not digging deep enough it's important that people really. it's that if they want to live in a democratic society that there is no way that a government a democratically elected government or a post colonial government should be in a position to use colonial era norms of apartheid norms to try and subjugates the population i am convinced that if they want to keep those laws in this they truth because they had vested interests. and they is no real. base though it is guys i would go into to stop power to the extent of their techniques even to

criticize them. and finally back to lebanon and an angle that we did not touch on in our lead story the lebanese have a reputation for partying ok it's a stereotype but as anyone who has ever been to beirut will tell you it is not entirely on deserved and rather than putting their partying on hold while the politics plays out on the streets they've combined the 2 activities video has emerged online of a demonstration slash street party in tripoli that looks like some kind of revolutionary raise the d.j. mahdi kerryn a has quickly grown into a folk hero who knows maybe he'll be the country's next president we'll leave you now with that tripoli video and a few others plus some tweets on the lebanese practicing politics as only they can and we'll see you next time here at the listening post.
