6:35 am
the window was left of the invoice. however, you and your mother passed away. i was 16. and what happened to uh, i ended up going with it doesn't say to a make except for 1000000 t. it's a place where when comes and it wouldn't even doesn't have a place to go for scrubbing jeans, we'll collecting such so so that they can on that i'd get something for, you know, your rafa. and that's the, what was the transition like from, you know, being on that i'm tired of working that to be an artist and then what you do now. so uh, windows of the dump, say those us troops up. so even people are calling me that's, that's the new companies that up for us, or they gave me some of the day before. so i notified distance williams. i think he was very popping up. what's going on with that and obviously getting the place and
6:36 am
people didn't need to find the stuff on this. and he said, i probably need to find that need to find that. okay, so they came down the phone to me. i'm just trying to do some research. i to nanny came up with a project for them, but i think that's sort of the transitions for me for the dunphy at 715. of course, i know how much the the, the, how did working on his on site, but it's his eyes. whenever that obviously, if you feel like you are popular during the place where people don't appreciate to, don't have a voice that nobody cares so much for you. so initially for me, it was like, uh, i mean i want to weigh a, i'm fixing a lot of personal devices when, if i'm sick, nobody guess if i, if i have a good solid, nobody can this nobody to share what, what they have those. but for me to divide video in the mornings,
6:37 am
you find them i just there. so i was seeing them as the, as the reload in the front of the card to see the he's because the country castillo broke. and wanted to talk to you via larry. you've done quite a few songs about extrajudicial kennings and the police know who can and people who live had lost 3 friends. i when i was sent a dumb site because it's like a decent kidding. they was beaten after the missed on a phone. i was so much they was, i was hungry and so that's the way i think i started becoming moving back to social issues on the not anything that we are the one they want to die or do you want to move in or not out dined or to bump into you when there's also an organization
6:38 am
quote that you can. yeah. which you work in and you deal with these projects and young people. can you tell me a bit about what you do with them? okay, so of course, and it was, it is a community based organization that lots of kids from the age of 5 to 17, to ensure that there seems dc. so that don't, and that's a society special devices. he's coming to you to use a class days drama, class this point. see, we play games, it keeps forget the be a monday straight into find the 100 plus the new talents of course, seen so many artists. he does be more powerfully than even any of that to meet the volunteer you corresponded the med, sorry, social justice center, which aims at tactical forms of structure. right. and can you explain
6:39 am
a bit about what made you want to stop by your organization? i was born in my battery and i grew up in massages sites. the sick one biggest fly mean can now i love my, that is, you know, i was a happy child. and when i became an adult is when i could see now the violence that the people in my community loved going through the cold. let's see the police brutality the police came in. the local, clean was so growing up in mother is like growing up in a village, but everybody knows everybody. so when something happens to one of us really seen it. so the killings any particular too much. it was this too much. so to challenge that, we formed, but that is social justice center. and were there any past experiences that you live in? sorry, that made you want to stop the organization?
6:40 am
yes. um, my own brother was killed by a police in to a 7 to void for selection violence inc. hannah. and that with a lot of other young people that have grown up sleep being killed. and this is not just my story. this is a story of many young people in, by the way, to have a friend, a cousin, a brother, a neighbor that was killed by police, the window a window outside them, it, sorry. so just as the inside, can you tell me a bit about the why fi g day today? it every day receive cases from the community on the trends of it is that to be a lucky one to bring justice to the community members most new is it, gets, is open. this mortality of people who have been arrested with not enough
6:41 am
reason, i guess, is lived in the best buy land. but we have a community engagement, like watching film planting, trees, community cleanup community have been once rationed. and every time we meet this center, we have to sing the sun, an energy that comes when we things together and to just i just on to continue watching this 5 of seeking justice and dignity for our people. the, i wanted to ask you about the time in 2020, when you were a pretest against police brutality and you resisted arrest from 3 of police offices . and there was a huge reaction because the video of this happening went viral and lots of people. so read how was that experience to you? and were you surprised by the reaction that com?
6:42 am
yes, i was surprised that he even went viral. i didn't know it was going to be that impossible . that i, i'm a woman that was able to stand up for myself, made the young man in my could meet teeth more emboldened to sign up for themselves in midland field mall household i also have to say that at that very moment is the pain of every month i have walked with in thinking just as for the sun, every case i have documented every single person i have seen lose that lives in my community. i've given me the strength to say that this was enough. and this feeling how much was still the
6:43 am
so 10 dash, thank you so much for being here today. when we think about the issues that are facing young people, it's interesting that 75 percent of the people in kenya under the age of $35.00. but only 40 percent of youth at registered to vote in the recent elections. why do you think it is that so few people are registered to vote here in kenya under the age of 35. i think it was a one uh form of existence from the people from the 8000000 tenants who did not come on towards. i think they was saying that they did not want to be a part of this. they wanted a system that works for them. and on the other hand, i think one thing is important because it's the only way we're going to put someone who could walk for us. but i think it was very loud that they would so tired of this system of oppression. and what do you think this,
6:44 am
how did you feel about the election and how did young people that, you know, speak about the election? remember before left, so new. i mean, we were in a crisis of course the 19. and of course, even the death i'm into a previously there, one not even doing a lot of the people get they would just, uh, making the people saw followed because the, there was not a lot of coffee. was people people not going to job. so in that when it comes to people now being told to vote and they are like and on the same government didn't campbell, it, that's why are they getting now they don't respect the voices. they don't tell what they say, but the one task to do what they see and that's, that's how we feel like it's what is not possible. it doesn't change anything. the fullest. i feel that sense of accuracy towards the system. i do because women would see, since the country, good independence with little change. look at the community to where i come from. it's still the same poverty from before. so people are beginning to relate with, i mean,
6:45 am
why do i even go towards it doesn't change my life in any way. how did you bring about change if you withdraw from the system is that exists now? how can you amplify the issues that matters? he mice, i think we need another tentative system that sense as piece pull at the very call of the issues we have trying to address how we need to bring about changes, organize ourselves as the youth. and advocates with one voice as one girl about the issues that much i to us. i feel like we shouldn't take a box it and watch and complain and say this system doesn't work for us. these people are corrupted. and we actively organized against the system together. i know the both care about extrajudicial headings in kenya, around the world. they were conversations around police brutality, and that's at the hands of the police. could you explain to me what it is like in kenya in regards to the extra traditional killings,
6:46 am
the americans typed in the hash tag blacklist, martha? i think it, it, it might the most in can. because a, personally, i've looked 20 plus friends. most of them was killed by police and well justice. and initially this is this specific one of the dental. so if you imagine how many happens each and every day and my dad and keep that in, in, in, in the streets. so it's quite a very, very big issue that hasn't been happening and we haven't been getting that solution . and wonder how would you explain it? and now is i'm british colony. when we go to independence, the police service that was serving the colonial government did not change when it's done looking as i became president of getting that he continued with the same police force that the colonial government was using. and therefore putting on that's their practices and they told him of that would cost up on the people to
6:47 am
present the chance, leaving him in for most instruments. and when judge floyd was killed by 10 year old, yes and miles killed in all communities. and when we planned the protest those this last time i saw kenya's soul invested in calculating methods of it. so you just put the names in the country. usually we will hold our demos, the name, foremost settlements. i think judge slater hills can connect said a fast struggle in the us and us from without hand came most indeed large numbers to stay with the mind and interests any additional candidates. so police offices of justified 72 percent of the kennings of happened alleging that they were result of anti crime operations. and i wanted to ask within the communities, is that a slight tension that just some people maybe not have sympathy when somebody who was committing a crime dies at the hands of the police and how do you respond to that? yes, that happens. but i think it's um, we live in
6:48 am
a country that prides itself in upholding visual noval. why do we have, let's say, is, if someone has been found doing something wrong, can we have a little before? not can we have them arrested and taken to court and prosecuted instead of the police this id to be the judge and the judy. and they've victor shawna because this is what happens most of the time. and this is a crime, not just in can no, but everyone else. i do not think police have a right to take away anybody's life when they is a law that can be followed. for me, the biggest issue has been the quality. they are not treating people the same. like we have been having news like a, a southern pass on, let's go to, uh, to commodity for the, for the government to the se in these governors on news, but then not being killed. why is it that in where we leave and then the someone on just the phone with my dad a cleaning on a. so cleaning all according to that,
6:49 am
the little so the, we need to, we need to politically, that it needs to be an, an important thing that we feel like it's not if it's not dry and equally on sunday with dash that was the case of cause in being in this, like some people in government had stolen the meals, made so many tickets. they fits, of course with names and in the country. and during this period, there was also um, a low so full lets see in the communities. and actually the police did not as waste their coven dns despite having been a pro, test it, is it people protesting against this score with the union? that's what actually i raced it. so what that she's saying is there's a distinction between people who are stealing to survive and people who are stealing from the people. because then governments told from the poor in that particular incent which led them to lead groups. when you say that you're fighting
6:50 am
for justice, what does justice look like? fear? so for me, justice means uh this, this consistent like people shifted. same uh they said this list is like following the little, when the boys came with the police, the one to remember that 600 additional kidding to you or not given a find me to bring to visit with the police to conduct a fundraising. so as can get funds to the body of it anyways, why don't you have in good justice because that personal scheme that need strong to, you know, given a, find me so for this no invested there. so if i, if i guess is that people shouldn't be treated equally. that's what does this mean schools and what about you wonder at what his justice look like to you and when you're fighting for that, what is it that you're thinking about? my brother was killed by police. justice ideally wouldn't look like me guessing left my brother. but that is not possible. so injustice would look like preventing
6:51 am
people from losing their loved ones. the only thing that would make sense for me sooner is and we, i'm fighting that physically needs to solve. so ken is do not have to go through unnecessary paid cost by it's implemented. so has that ever been a time that you have seen just as an action in kenya with regard to, you know, police kennings if and there was a case who offering of the office on monday station was over a company station who killed someone in the police station who drowned them in a drum full of water and as the inmates could see that. and when we documented this case together with international justice mission, we took it to court and we attended court sessions we had and to show certain justice for my team call me and the enlightenment when he was sentenced to life imprisonment. and that was the 1st day i saw a justice in action in this country. and i want to move the conversation
6:52 am
a little bit and says, all the areas i know you care about. i want to specifically also talk to you guys about music. it seems like it is really a lifeline view. so for me, music is life. uh, i feel like uh, the way the way people have a power like the police have the gun and they feed ball for me. they've done so for me it's in buffalo and they have music because it's part of my life. last year we had the case a very beginning to end or we a police was looking for a site and then the southern thief. when did i mean he, he went to his friends on some of the defense or not. if so the police ended up getting everybody under the desk. so it was all about stuff. it's like, you're just kidding. we need coincides to the community just to send them a that is social justice centers and all that. and we be good just is to do they follow the ad and we've got new new police. and are there any other names of people
6:53 am
or any other examples of cultural or music be you have found to be powerful or inspiring and can you listen to me? i see mine and the song, mississippi, and good them about police brutality, the full gus that identify and became a big issue for the black people over there. they went to a protest singing that song made them feel full possible. and nina, hassle of felt the like headlight side more relevance, we should see to advance the struggle of last people what you're saying about them is still very rel of lunch today in the us. and also we know communities in countries back home and i wanted to ask social media. it's done a lot in terms of sharing messages to do with activities. and how important do you think that has been for you and can you more generally in terms of i'm to find messages like the ones you care about? most. mostly i've been using social media as well as sort of like a proof. and whenever you have so,
6:54 am
so maybe it's easier to even tell people like this. these are part of the things that they have done. so indeed a decent time, she had issues with the police when they wanted to make others have a force unreal. we also that because of the social media. so this means that when we did send, it would be to move off. and so many people are inspired by high just because of the story. and this is because of the social media. it has even happened both even industry to someone is being that if they've done this using social media to tell people that he has to be noticed and then he hasn't done anything. so i've said that social media have played a very, very big role in terms of documenting issues. one very easy use youtube to teach that kind of alternative history. and i wanted, if you could speak to me a little bit about why you've done that. i love history, i think history is very liberating. when you get to see me know and understand. i think present the generation is quite disconnected with our very closely as history
6:55 am
of the past. for example, my communities, my, my home in my diary has been around for a 100 years. it's been a century of survival and resistance. since 1920. my battery has been existing, think it's the oldest, get to him can now. so we've had presidents from 91063 who have done something to change the faith of the people of my di. but they did not. this is we have structural violence comes in that the people who continue to be neglected and continue to be exposed to system. they make violence of social injustice this. so when we understand as young people where we are coming from, it will be very easy to, to create the kind of future we want to know for children's children and similar needs. as i know you can relax about your community. and i want to hear from you
6:56 am
directly. what is it that you're proud of in terms of where you are from, and what your identity is? so uh, of course i'm proud of myself if cit, from, from where i've come from and where i am. i'm a needs to to both of a 1010000 kids have identified the new talents among the successful stories that they have is that about 50 young guys do not end up being and dropping off of school. i li, pregnancies, but we have monday to get them out of such issue so. so most of a proud to fall off the defies that i've gone through an inch letting that thing satellite the songs that they've done and all that as a final notes. what is it, despite all of the issues that you have seen that makes you get up every morning? so 5 for a better day. why is it that you can see needs to do what you are doing? well, i guess my going is knowing that i'm on the right 5 and i'm doing my little thing towards contributing to the betterment of society. like one guy mother. i
6:57 am
said to everybody around there was a little thing towards making the middle place. so that is my initial thing and i'm happy doing it. there is a now let's wake up every morning to ensure that what i'm doing or the, i'm not even paid or anything. it's just because i need to see a good future. i need to see a bit and under, i need to see a bit of canyon. i need people to not leave the live that i have left. so that's a, let's look up every morning for me to take kids, which, which, if i'm in the, and also for the future can the
6:58 am

mysterious death analogy. how do states control information controlling the narrative to dominate thing, the media? how does the narrative can pull public opinion and enormous fight? it might not be the most important story about china of today. but that's what the big piece attention to. how is this has been jim listened. we played in the story, the listening post, i fixed the media. we don't cover the news we covered the way the news is covered. showing here is coming over our heads from russian positions. a new cranium. positions have been standing about how they were directly targeted as they were trying to sleep. we've seen some of the residents come out of the building with that possessions in suitcases by substantial safe anymore. what happens on that day
