is covered. here are the media stories. we're examining this week. nigeria, the tweet from the president account, that ended up getting twitter back right across the country. election day. you now jerry, the government is feeling the heat on the street. it's responses to arrest journalists and take a broadcaster off the air. stereotypes then, and now, postcards from the colonial era that shaped perceptions of africa and its people. and exposing the film industry, the shame and revise you undergo the ritual, germany and some of the stereotypes. it cannot resist to this very day. we begin with africa, the most populous country, nigeria, $200000000.00 plus a market with the most internet users on the continent. 2 weeks ago, the government led by former military man, mohammedan bull harry put an indefinite ban on twitter. a platform used by roughly 40000000 citizens. the ban was announced just after twitter had deleted

a tweet by the president himself, but violated the companies rules on abusive behavior. there was some threatening language and they're aimed at secessionist in the south. nigeria is 2 years away from its next national election, a country wide movement hash tagged and stars out to stop police brutality has put the bu, hardy government on the defensive. and twitter has been central to that story for organizers, activists, and the journalists covering them. members of the bu, hardy government have long warned of the dangers of social media. now it's reportedly looking to china, the architect of the great firewall for ideas on how to bring critical voices under government control. our starting point this week is my jury, a biggest city lagos. ah, to understand how twitter has come to the band in nigeria, you have to start with the history the, the civil war,

50 years ago, over the region of by african, the war crimes that were committed to the humanitarian catastrophe. that unfolded. then at in the recent flare ups and power struggles in that same area of the country, that's part of the context. and that is why president mohammed dupel hardy's tweet, the one that warned his opponent, that those of us who went through the war will treat them in the language they understand was so offense in that area, kick him about teaching people in the language. this is like the have the demo government talking about the whole it's like the season one dad talking about the genocide that happened back. do you mean that the women that were rid that's the bandwidth on the plan. do you mean the estimated 3000000 minority that you're doing

the one with the band with whether it's response was not to block the president account or to ban to hurry from the platform. just deleted his tweet for violating his policy on abusive behavior. then hurried government and blocked dewitter criminalized it's use for the 40000000 nigerians who have accounts for what it called undermining nigeria as corporate existing to have allowed to do you like more to the gratian bridge to we just miss an andrea very suspect. what is the agenda with that is, what is that kid you are green?

who's got to put in the books? if not, if the government has never been happening, if you need to integrate by john goldman, i would not believe if this but that guy if the had and the right of the people expression in front of the on the freedom of the press, the suspicion of twitter in i, j is not about twitter. it's not even only about social media. it's about the online civic space, which is the last stand in civic space for nigerians and government wants to control us space. secondly, this is very clear in and stuff sets up when you talked about 202-0000. that is where the government's antagonistic relationship with twitter

was defined with the end stars movement. that piqued the late last year and mobilized the stars was a police unit. the special anti robberies notorious for its extra judicial killing, of young nigeria. and for its culture of production. in the stars movement was built around the fact it was leaving the central and largely because of twitter. it was everywhere, faces approaches that were trying to predict. who am i not employed? who works on any of your scenes leading to an international outcry the us but this is the biggest, the s b i wasn't going to be in by, in, on our platform voice to express the police fire in the about the put, if you know, when government said yesterday to few hours. well guess what?

every 3rd, 5th of the month, younger you know, go about to talk about will happen on the nice level to watch the put the government thought the cute for simply by said it's really just to be so good. you still are like, the reason why the protest really hit the government just because they're not used . that is kind of the, they used to protest where there is a leader that you can reach out to maybe bride, maybe around, maybe intimidate, but this time there wasn't a little water us. it wasn't a bite over there with pockets of the nice us across the poetry that doesn't what according to the playbook of control and manipulation. so it's definitely definitely about a pettiness of get him back up to top me. twitter has also been an act if critical space for nigerians unhappy with their government's handling of a struggling economy and the president's inability to quell this session. this

movement in the south the ban on the platform led to a fresh round the protein. and while nigeria, news outlets are able to cover the band has robbed of an importance to the media and not all print and online outlets are complying with the ban on tweeting many or simply define broadcasters are different. nigeria is broadcasting regulator, the nbc has warned channels that ignoring the ban would cost them their license to operate. the nbc has been apples you by your neck. i'm tells you when to read, i went to the tunnel kind of vision for instance. they have about 4500000 for the was on twitter, then immediately taught when the announcement happens because they don't want to be fine. are they on their license is withdrawn by denied un government business is also use enough business is remote in their walk on line,

stopping to post them as online, the tech sector helped and julia, one of the sessions most recently. so it was very weird that nigeria will then be doing this lot thought about the long term impact of what you've done, you know, on this particular sector that helped rescue nigeria from the oh, there are 130000000 nigerians aged 18 or younger. it is a huge tech savvy demographic that's been circumventing the twitter ban, sending search engines into overdrive looking for vps. the bu, hardy government does not mince words on the dangers it sees in the digital space. late last year, at the height of the end, the stars unrest, information minister lie mohammed told the parliamentary committee that if we regulate social media, it will destroy us. this past week, it was reported that mohammed met with the cyberspace administration of china,

which overseas the great firewall. we asked him about that and whether china is now advised nigeria on its approach to social media. roblis i'm, i just closed my port, but i never had it in making it so we put the question another way is china's regulatory approach a modeled the bu, hurried government. once for nigeria, we're open to con abrasion from. can you part of the wood? i don't know how far they've gone, but i do know that it was there was contact with china about building an infinite firewall. i'm if as a government you place it back to you want to white people, treat people circumvented by the v p in the not going to sit down you understand by the bond is what you fix it. while it's quite an extremely expensive, i know the chinese government very well and where they have interest,

they don't mind even saying, you know what, let's fund it for you guys. and that's where i think all my jillions need to because the problem is not the fit, national. you need the breath and i just copy what to do with it. with governor everyone cares about that. if you care about it right here, this one, the next 2 years of the government will be what people turning to algeria now and a historic moment. the 1st parliament re elections there since former president of dollars these beautifully was ousted in 2019 flo phillips is here with the latest starting with how the authorities tighten the screws on the press. just before building day, which richard is something they promised they would never do just 48 hours before

the polls opened. security services arrested 2 well known journalists, color, dra rennie, founder of the website, caspar tribune, and f, o l copy director through media outlets. radio m and margaret amazon. close out that being critical of the government, the pair have been targeted before l. kathy's outlets have been blocked a numerous times for supposedly insulting the president andrew any was any released from prison this past february after 11 months behind bars for undermining national security. in this case, they were released one day later, but they were out of the reporting next for a crucial 24 hour period. which sounds tactical. exactly. and you got to remember that dro, runny and cardi on their outlets were thrown into prominence. 2 years ago that coverage of the mass protest movement, iraq, that ended beautifully cars, 20 years and power. and that here at the movement has been back on the streets,

protesting many of the same issues that they did in 2019 corruption military will lack of free speech. this time however, they were also calling on algerians to boycott the election. so the government saying with these arrests with quite clear stop opposition media from getting the word out on the boy called. but the authorities plan didn't exactly pan out the vote to turn out was very low, just 30 percent and that's the official number. that's the domestic media. what about reporting from the outside? they care about that too? they do, and it's probably got something to do with the fact that i want anyone to know about the low to turn out just a day off to the election. the ministry for communication decided to suspend the broker was license for the international news channel, france 24. now the official reason given was quote, clear and repeated hostility towards algeria and its institutions. and this goes back to another historic grievance. france $24.00 is owned by the french government, which has repeatedly rejected requests from algiers for some kind of official

recognition or apology for the atrocities that were committed by france during that period of colonial will. now this post january president macro said that they will be quote, no repentance and no apology. the algerian government was equally unapologetic when it took from 24 of the banks. in the late 19th century, there was a form of mass media, a visual one, the pre dated television by about 50 years. and he guesses as to what that medium was. postcards, postcards were a european media phenomenon. the photos let people see the world without leaving their home. and like many modern forms of media, they were visual cheap and relatively easy to distribute. but it was the era of colonialism, and postcards were also a means of asserting racial superiority. photographers were sent with colonizers to take pictures of what they saw, sometimes of what they wanted to see,

from the most mundane aspects of life to some disturbing images of colonial brutality. the european powers went home long ago, but the stereotypes in those images continue to shape perceptions of africa today. listening posts talking often now on the legacy of postcard from days gone by. the 31st now to fix a post card as a kind of happy snap from holidays, right. sort of wish you were here to family and friends. they were in their own day, a new media craze. they were produced specifically to construct a particular image of africa. an african scramble for africa occurred 880 fourish where you were p in power is basically carved up different parts of africa. to colonize part of that process was to somehow

justify colonization. why one nation would take over another nation. they sent missionaries, they sent additions, and they sent photographers, the people with the cameras. i'm going to dictate how we see who we think we're staying, what we think we're seeing. and so i think that's part of what makes those images so dangerous. images that show europe civilizing mission. men wanted it to be seen. the monuments of empire courthouses churches, ports and train stations. and local. those in need of civilizing photography was a major component of european colonialism. in the late 19th and early 20th century was the golden age of postcards, an early form of math media. the images taken by an assortment of commercial

photographer's missionary ethnography was inconvenient. administrators were printed and posted back home billions of time shaken years of africa and the orient. they come under 3 very new themes, the kind of highly sexualized eroticized, woman, you know, arab woman or african woman, bare chested, often posed in a suggestive way. the other theme would be africans, as servers, you know, always in the kind of domesticated state, servants, 2 colonial administrators or missionaries or military personnel. and then the 3rd, the african savage, you know, african warriors, a savage as uncivilized not to be trust me. this is nigeria, and it's titled ego hunters with lot guns. and this was

a very common type showing sort of the barbarity or the savagery of africans and particularly as hunters. and so this particular image is basically just showing them in their everyday coding. and you can see that it's actually been stage to some extent because you have 2 individuals on either side who are kneeling and sort of looking directly at the camera. so they're the and understanding of cooperation and collaboration between the image in photography as carefully selected both objects and mess around things for those in the business of sending postcards, there was a commercial interest in making images that tantalize or in some ways to get into a preexisting by you can see that clearly in images from frances colonial encounter with north africa, faces with women who did not conform with their exotic fancy the photographer

simply made up photo that did. ah, they had this mythology of algerians is kind of over sexualized. they had the image of the hair in their mind, but when they arrived, the algerians looked nothing like the french had imagined them. many of the women were bailed or covered, and so they were inaccessible to the photographer's gaze. they ended up hiring people to act as models. they set up studios. they asked the women to pose in the way that the colonizers had imagined those people. then they produced postcards and sent them back to france to say, this is what these people are like. and they need our help. this isn't very much a curve, mercy driven business. and it was photographers, people running photographic studios that were looking for cards that they could sell could sell cheaply. all these post carpet assistant, photographers were copying each other. they were ruthless and stealing other people's ideas and images. so this is the way in which she,

gina was kind of reproduce themselves over time. all the lands as they depicted in the guidance of long since one their independence. but the cultural impact, the stain of the inventory lives own, you can trace the link between depictions with black and brown bodies today. and the often degrading and oriented us depictions of the colonial period. then like now, the bodies of those deemed in some ways more likely to show up in the media, stopping, destitute, naked odette. the only bodies that we see in the media are usually brown and black bodies from other countries that ends up producing and vision of the world where violence is something that happens elsewhere to name with victims. i used to think that something about being an american was the reason that we didn't see americans bodies in the media. but then i saw michael brown's body on the front page of the

new york times and he's an american. so it seems to me that there's something different operating that shit for us to ask questions about whose bodies are made visible, whose bodies are hidden and why and what work those images do. the continuing visions or images of kind of black death and trauma, has definitely continued from the past. those images are enduring. if you have no association with the person as a human being, when that humanity is removed, it's easier to think about that person as, as, as an object. almost like a scientific, you know, object. there is no agency, there is no humanity. there are layers to these postcards, they cannot a lot about the colonial mindset. and in a time before photos appeared in newspapers, they also serve as

a form of photo jonathan. but to many of these images stripped the subject of humanity, they are the visual expression of a racial hierarchy. today, pictures like the 4th of confront how those who thought themselves, who peria, constructed an image of those deemed the we examining and critiquing. these postcards really helps us understand the nuances of history. the postcards themselves moved through so many different facets of life at the time. whether it's the post office or through colonial offices right through the hands of, you know, everyday citizens. these were artifacts that really made it into every niche of life. and so we really should understand them as artifacts of our histories, tangible objects that have come through history with us. me,

people are talk a lot about have photoshop or video manipulation has introduced the possibility that images can be doctored or falsified. but what these colonial photographs show is that they've always been doctored and falsified. they've always been put to political use. and it's our job to become viewers who are more critical and better able to see what they actually show, which is the violence of the colonial vision to become viewers capable of looking past the margins and rescuing the information that that is there, that we are trained not to look at all. and finally, a more contemporary form of stereotyping hollywood style. the movie industry liens heavily on stereotypes, wherever those films are set. but directors tend to lose the plot completely when they're detecting the global self. suddenly the cellulose takes on a c p. attent shem manic ritual. t is served,

and the islamic call to prayer turns into the unofficial soundtrack. this next kick talk by stand up comedian content creator finley. christie captures a few of those stereotypes and more in just 40 seconds. here's bedding, but you can't watch this video without having a few pretty well known films. come to mind. was the next time here, listening to us. and then again again, it wasn't the professor. where's the video, gem, shaman, or it was you undergo the ritual g, germany that around and get their money to the local to pre pay them to somebody. the other american said my aspect nice dental things, pretty hearing i was doing just to say in down that may take you through a busy buffer market and then a low ceiling house would be instead of a front door for some

robot is a mechanical or even that self driving train of the apple. but androids today can be over the humanoid. robots like me, will be everywhere. options 0 documentaries, next laid on the weird and wonderful world of robot that learn. think for you and even trust. i feel like i'm alive, but i know i am a machine origins of this nation coming soon on out here. no place. and so i go on with say, a press, retreated at the car, about a media hub and vital vantage point. during the 1st truly televised war from the roof, we could see the recreation at the american embassy, where the most iconic images of the conflict in vietnam were transmitted to the world. this was the front row seat to the final stages of the war, saigon caravel, a new episode of war hotels on al jazeera,

each and every one of us have responsibility to change our patients. for the better the more we could do this experiment and a lot of us could increase just a little bit that wouldn't be worth doing. anybody had any idea that it would become a magnet, incredibly recipe for women to get 50 percent representation in the constituent assembly here and getting the pick up to collect the segregate, to say, the reason this extremely important service they provide the city we need to take america to try to bring people together trying to deal with people who've been left behind me.

ah, when ever you ah, ah, me your challenges there with me. so robin in doha, reminder of our top news stories. the u. s. department of justice has seized control of 33 websites linked to iran, citing a violation of sanctions. now this is the message greeting anyone trying to look at around english language press, tv science, all the arabic alarm channel us senate republicans have blocked

a key voting rights bill backed by democrats. the election reform package contained measures to counteract laws passed.
