have our full support, will be behind them 100 percent as we tear them on from home. we will not be contributing to the fanfare of the games. china is already said it will retaliate. doorway sooner. use hulu. sure. you know? yeah, i mean the winter olympics are held once every 4 years as a rare opportunity for athletes. the protect most of the beijing winter olympics will be athletes from various countries. not individual politicians, both politicians who clamor a boycott for political self interest or just showing off and i ping things up. nobody cares whether they come or not. and it will have no influence on beijing success. in hosting the winter olympics, missouri, our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit has more details that well, this is something that's been called for by not only humans rights, human rights activists and even members of congress. but there's been great concern around the world about some of the human rights practices or lack thereof in china

. and so this was an opportunity to kind of send a statement. so there has been a real pressure on the by to ministration to do a full boycott. of beijing 2022 and said what we've learned from the white house press secretary is the white house will allow us athletes to go into participate starting in february. but they will have in place a diplomatic boycott. what does that mean? that means that no u. s. government officials will be present or any other sort of formal dignitaries . it's designed to put in place and send a very strong message to the chinese government that it does not tolerate some of the practices that have been seen, particularly when it comes to chinese muslims, known as wiggers. now we should point out, we've seen this type of boycott odd, actually it was a full boycott back in 1980. interestingly, when it involves russia, this is not going to be as punishing as that. instead, it will be the diplomatic boycott that will allow the united states athletes to

participate and the white house press secretary says that those athletes will have the white house's full support. growing concerns of a new conflict and ukraine come to head on tuesday with a virtual summit between president joe biden and vladimir putin. oddness promising what his spokesman called enduring and meaningful costs. if the build up of russian troops, east of ukraine's border results in an invasion, routine has denied to an attack as planned, blaming nato for the need to position his military as a bo work against its expansion eastwards us intelligence experts say a russian invasion of ukraine could happen in just weeks if you, if you has claimed more key victories in its battle against rebels from to grey. the government says it taken back the strategically important towns of dessie and come boucher, the fighting is consecrated to concentrated in m horror and a far regions to grind, voices had until recently been advancing towards the capital on the a to highway

ah. that when fossil september 2013, the blood is not taco kenyan soils, his al kindest devastating warming of the u. s. embassy in 1998. ah, more than 70 people, dead men, women, and children. hundreds injured. ah, canyon saw asking how these would have happened. a bundled heavily armed men from algebra, the militant group that can interest in bustling is malia, says 2011 penetrating

a supposedly secure building in the computer. ah, these up talk did not come out of the blue, says 2011. there been more than a 100 tucks in the country, but i'll show bob on its sympathizes. most top tech in place, fly from the glare of the international media. in my home province, north is to me, which is a long and latoya slip porras border with somalia. ah, but instead of enlisting the help of the meal, ethnic somali population, the kingdom army, and police half treated us as part of the problem with ah, ross, this is nothing new. in kenya, old tribe, some meant to be cool. but the reality remains that some tribes are less equal than others. ah,

lou, this is carissa. the get went to kenya's, ne probus, my hometown, or 5 months before thou talks in nairobi, i came back to investigate, escalating violence before kenneth invasion of somalia. these were the safest trips in the country. it's a bit unnerving for me if i can put it that way. i also said that i finally have to come back to my hometown to cover conflict and killings. something i've done across africa. i've never felt like this is security is making things look totally different. you know, i've, i've been covering other incidents in other places. this falls in the back of your

mind that you go back home. it's safe. everybody is fine. not anymore. in canyon somalis account for about 5 percent of the population. just 142 tribes that make up this country with 4 centuries will leave, doesn't enormous. in the semi added launch of the ne keeping camels, goats, and cancelled my own father grew up the son of a camel hut. i'm going to bring me here to the market to meet my uncles and cousins when they came for tom to trade with. since i was a boy, it has grown to be the largest in east africa. a result of the 2 decayed civil war across the border in somalia, which med cody said the safest unwelcome in place to buy and so

on. it's still the best place to find out what is really going on. hello the court . and so on the sunday, i saw that exactly. if it was the opposite. i look, i think at least, but we'll get on the hill. hopefully we'll edit. i am on amazon, but it has all been a lot going on. i will come yet. they listen, look, holler, i'm doing. i do live in laguna. so my legacy, my bills is today are held on. i had to do the dinner, lead elementary, l to somebody in the kingdom, government called invasion linda in g kiswahili for protect the nation or response to cross border read spells. sure, bob, but this part of the nation has not been protected since 2000 and live and have been more than a 100 incidents of violence in the province. gary, a small man, somali population, have all too often been the target. 3 days before i arrived another taco card on

a small street cafe in the center of town, the bullet hole still clearly visible. lethia. there was a glitch. look here, some people live. olivia, some 2 of us were shocked. leisurely. you don't can secure here, lulu feel very insecure. bearing in mind that the fullest vision is just 300 meters are killing someone is becoming a real fluttering a ticket so you keep on people don't clearly. well, he woke up tomorrow. just done good. before 2011 the whilst gary's the hospital had to deal with was the occasional car crash. it's unsettling to find the place you are treated as a child. turned into a trauma center. 9 people wash up that that night and more than 20

injured, one of them fatally. most of the victims were lifted tonight will be living only 2 young boys. just out of secondary school. jackson motto was forced into the corner of the dinah's tried to escape. he was struck repeatedly, one bullet, shuttering the bone in his right leg. oh, and being choked, agile customer lives. so black with good people who had been shot dead, someone did in your hot one. do you feel awhile not to talk when you remember i told you i had to do food yet in june. one was i don't know. the reason why you can disconnect, shoot and kill innocent people who are not do that to some last good a problem. yes. to a does history people out to did i to people just to us as innocent citizens and

then no, nothing could down check his cafe was popular with workers from other parts of kenya. and because it's soft, alcohol was unlikely to contain somalis who are almost exclusively muslim. oh, it's hardening to dream parenting speed. the really just one is in the patching and shrieking. oh, and this is perhaps what the perpetrators wanted. but carissa has a history of religious tolerance and it's a months she the times grief. this is a memorandum which was agreed upon by the muslim scholars and lead, as in god is a town, particularly after the killing of the 9 people at last week. we are against what a, what is going on on we condemn with their strongest to why disposable. i find he's

not busy against the teachings of islam, which they not canaan off one in else into soul ease equal to killing all other people off on, on this off for the outsider. this offers a confusing picture, the herders and motions residents, any mums all denounced the attacks and yet no one comes forward to help the police . but to understand these products, you don't need to look too far. when i talk to like these are called, the government flooded the town with police, not just local police from the province, but to riot police from night on the perpetrators and all these on are long gone. living the residents of the town to face the 1st. and all too often the forces act like an occupying army with

one of the things i loved about my hometown was the way it came alive in the cool of the evening. now a cough you sense every one home at dusk, living the streets empty and leading to unflattering comparisons with somalia notoriously dangerous capitol. at nighttime, his found his dislike militia here has been in fact rephrase it. better than that. it's as you're speaking now, because it's honest as yet that to my time, you know, to polish mon morgan, not his civilian movie. in what ways has the security, the killings affected the people in town? 60 percent have no idea. have never been issued the day because you know, they still couldn't just as of it and that would happen or this issues now with as a youth in a bad dish and whereby they don't have a different if you don't have a different, you are like an ally then it has led to so many we've, you've been out of that. some of them been taken that where we don't know up to

enough youth are finding himself cornered in both say, they have been here and they have been to bail some up composer here they've been, can they come the i don't have a government that has failed to issues on people with i didn't stick, then arresting them is not lost on the population. nor is the real reason behind the round ups. unable to prevent these killings or catch the proper treatise, the government falls back on a tripe, untested formula form of its prominence. collective punishment. although carissa has seen almost 2 decades of peace before the current violence, my generation on that of my parents and grandparents are all too familiar with the stock ticket. for me, the 1st taste of what it was to be a kenyan somali came in 1980. when i was only 5 years old for government officials had been shot dead in a bind getty set by

a group of unknown gunman. that night the police came to only boat. this is well housewares. it's been almost 30 years, but i still remember playing with my friends on the streets here. part of a closely knit community that was completely destroyed. i remember during that night we were forced to slip. it's was it on 10 o'clock at night? and suddenly we will, will, can up by loud noises of people running away as well as a lot of calles happening around us. now when we got out of our house, if it wasn't any thing like what you're seeing here right now, it was a mud ruled fudged house. and when we stood outside, we saw so many people running away in this direction. some of them running with

their keyed so women are looking for their keeps on shouting loudly, the names of the children on. when we looked in this direction, we saw the flames lifting the sky. most of the houses around here was on fire. the policeman, one not far away from us and not then we could hear them shouting the siding of the guns. and suddenly we joined the people who were running away for their lives. and then i remember on the other side, oh for our house was a house that belonged to one of my dad's very good friends. and we had that some of the soldiers were already in there. and moments later, as we were running away, we could hear him shouting as he was shot dead. despite the unhappy memories, finding myself here again after so many years, that temptation to see the place i spent my earliest is, is too strong to resist. la oliver. but in these times,

no guest is welcome and it takes a while to overcome the current owners suspicion today. however, 2nd, it's a bit funny that i have to say permission to see the spot where i was born. i am a little the rank of winter. then there is an i've been via, i've mogan, mogan, then had witnesses my guess only the briefest glimpse of where i used to leave before the lady changes her mind. but after our house was burned down, my parents were left with nothing, no compensation, no apology was still the government simply give the land to some one else, living us destitute. they know that they're not the original owner of the london not belong to them from the beginning, but maybe they bought it from the puzzle. who got it off the we was ejected out, but still, you know, they know the circumstances with which they got this land, so it's painful and say,

and the experience of losing everything you have at such a young age is hard to explain it as in part shaped jolla, maybe it's what pushes me to report on other places destroyed by conflict. we spent several years living and rented accommodations until my father had saved enough to buy another plot of land. it's been hard being in town without coming straight to see her as i usually would, sir, but my father never went to school but spent his whole life walking as a house builder to ensure that my sister, my brother and i got the opportunities. he never hud isn't after a lifetime of had to walk daddy, now we can look after him. i. my father's memories of that night are clouded by the passing years. but some details remained vivid while they were ready. i might can

have a who barely. ha. yeah, i saw him and his got to see all her in her over her very ha, you lou hubbard was 0 here is area i mccarty or google martin, google gray. ah, he'll come welcome. we'll get ah, a mattress. m as a me, maria marie. i haven't heard ham my do i want as historical? ah, i on her. i forgot. no matter what i'm 0 anyway. me or hassle id on the summary. he was so dear hardly by the lucky i louis. wow, there are so many scene of almost as you can miss watson a can with them. you can ha, ha ha ha ha ha. connolly shook her by and up k. endless. meantime,

while i did, andrew had a bad yankee. i had the end of julian a hulu. i found redwood was jojo then. oh so molly? had they? so who did you know when it was? my father's attitude tried entities. simple. as long as his picks the local language. he is cannon cabassos. the school playground, where most of the town was in tom, in the heat of a kenyan summer, is to day the local football pitch do. but the alley now are respected. elder was the same it as this young man when he was rounded up that night following the killing of the 4 government officials. there were 2 landra was military, landra was with the loudest wick us telling us, come out of your house, and if you don't come, you will, you will regret. so every morning in greece, i came to this sir. to this field, we were surrounded,

we stayed in the sun up to midday, and then around as it b m. they said women can go to their homes. we thought they were kind the, they are good people by the living dillman. but it is one of the west to day of the history of this region where almost every woman was ripped. almost every woman was ripped, by the security to for my the security was, is, and particularly by the emmy and the police. so we spend the night here, we stayed until the following day in law. and then i think we were religious about it, something lake near city p. m. when several people died, the british government did not subject to the most to what the families have been

subjected must by boys government and cannot as governor. i still don't understand what would make the government want to punish an entire community an entire town. you know, the government is not that the government was not our government that government or asked law elegance is because we're not bottled up government. we hadn't, we did not have ministers. we didn't with our civil service in arizona in the government. so it was more or less like they put a tory, a government claiming to put us on the back ah, comparisons with upper types of african, the british shipment of kenya's mile mile independence fight as may seem far fetched. but the level of violence used by the whites to maintain power in the last half of the 20th century pails into insignificance when compared to the violence used against my community. but the war between kenyans somalis and the

kenyan government known disparagingly as the shift to all bundled war has remained one of africa's forgotten conflicts. that british hunt always rule this area, which they called the mull frontier district or an f d. with a very light hand. they saw the somalis as good soldiers, but bad subjects. as a somali, if you wanted to cross that tunnel, remain to kenya, you needed to seek permission. the n f d was to all intents and purposes, a separate country. when kenya's independence was being negotiated in 96 to to the british agree despite strong opposition from kenyan leaders by the end of the you will get a chance to vote on whether to join some malia or ken the commission. they sent us published, overwhelming support for joining somalia, but the british won willing to split the country on the eve of independence,

despite their promise to listen to the people for kenyan somalis, this was a terrible betrayal. they refused to vote in the elections, unquote. technol pleasure from the independent celebrations in far way nairobi they were left with no choice but to take up arms supported in part by the somebody republic. the response of kenya's president jamal kenyatta was uncompromising. he declared as taint of emergence, and with the help of the same british military that suppressed the ma, ma uprising kenya went to war against its own people. the tactics used by the military, what to be the same villages? ocean, the mass internment of the rural population in concentration comes detention without trial on something given. the british hadn't never openly admitted a should to kill policy 1000 swore to die under destruction of livestock force many
