8:36 am
the problem please. that up for us, do they give me some of that in the day before? so i know and i visited with me and at that time he was very popping up. what's going on with the bundle? it obviously getting the place some people didn't need to find the stuff on the set up, but we need to find that need to find that. okay, so they came, they are the founding me under the transition was that i'd seen any, came up about a project for them that i took sitting on it. that's where the transitions for me, for the dunphy i started getting off. this is the how did working on it on site and it says eyes here. whenever the website you feel like you are popular during adaptive place where people don't appreciate to don't have a voice that nobody cares that much when we walk. so initially for me, it was like, uh, i mean i want to weigh a, i'm fixing
8:37 am
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 stuff. i'm going to divide video in the mornings and find them my desk there. so i was seeing them as the as the reload the and make sure you will find the good to see the hate because the country equals. so i wanted to talk to you via larry, you've done prior to something's about extra additional cleanings and the police know, getting people who live had last 3 friends. our in our center dumpsite because of it's like a decent kidding. they was beaten after the missed on a phone. that was so month it was. i was angry. so that's the way i think i started becoming moving to social issues on the not anything the 11
8:38 am
a day. but the one who had one notch out dined or to bump into you when, and there's also an organization called the kenya, which you work in and you deal with these projects with young people. can you tell me that that what you do with them? okay, so of course the community based organization that lots of kids from the age of 5 to 17, to ensure that they're safe and easy, that they don't. and that's a society special devices. he's coming to you to use a class. this drama class, this point. see, we play games, the kids forget to be of the money screwed into find the $100.00 plus the new talents. of course, seen someone is he does be more often than even any other opportunity. the
8:39 am
going theory you corresponded them. it's our social justice center, which aims at tactical form for structural vide. and can you explain a bit about what made you want to start the organizations? i was born in my body and then dropping massages for the sick. one biggest fly mean can now i love my, that is, you know, i was a have your title. and when i became an adult is when i could see now the violence, i think people in my community while going through the cold, let's see the police brutality. if police came in, the local clean was 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,
8:40 am
it was just too much. so the challenge that we formed methodical shows us the sensor. and were there any past experiences that you live in? sorry, that made you want to start the organization? yes. um my own brother was killed by a police in to a 72. 08 for a selection violence in canada, and that with a lot of other young people that i am grown up week being killed. and this is not just my ariano, and this is a story of many young people in my day do a to have a friend, a cousin, a brother, a neighbor that was killed by police. when you're a window outside them, it's our research assistance. i can you tell me a bit about the why fi g day today? it is today receive cases from the community uh on the trends of it is that to be a lucky one,
8:41 am
to bring justice to the community members mostly receive cases of what it is most highly to people who have been arrested with not enough reason. i guess we lived in a bit violent, but we have community engagements, like watching film planting, trees, community key knobs. community have been on stations. and every time we meet the center, we have to sing because the sun, an energy that comes when we things together into just i just on to continue watching this class of seeking justice and dignity for 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 it was a huge reaction because the video of this happening went viral and lots of people.
8:42 am
so read how was that experience to you? and were you surprised by the reaction that it? yes, i was surprised that even when level 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 couldn't a t more emboldened to sign up for themselves it, it made them feel more helpful. i also have to say that at that very moment, it was the pain of every month i have worked 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. a gave me the strength to say that this was enough, and this feeling how much of still
8:43 am
the so one gera dice. 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 this was a, a one, a 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
8:44 am
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, 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 uh, previously there one not even doing a lot of the people that they were just uh, making that 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 were 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. do you also feel that sense of advocacy towards the system? i do because women would say, send the country, good independence with little change. look at the community to where i come from.
8:45 am
it's still the same poverty from before. so people are beginning to relate with, i mean, 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, or 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 organize against the system. together. i know the both care about extrajudicial headings in kenya, around the world. they were conversations around police brutality,
8:46 am
and that's at the hands of the police. could you explain to me what it is like in kenya in regards to the extrajudicial killings? the americans typed in the hashtag blacklist, martha. i think it, it, it might the most in can. because a, personally, i've looked 20 plus a friends. most of them was killed by police and well justice. and initially this is just specific going to be done daughter. 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 the change. when you've been looking as i became president. ok now he continued with the same police
8:47 am
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 present the chance, leaving him in for most instruments. when judge floyd was killed by tenea early as 10 miles to the non community and when we planned the protest. so this last time i saw kenya's soul invested in calculating methods of it. so you do show things in the country. usually we will hold our demos, the name, foremost settlements. i think doug slater feels can connect said a fast struggle in the us and us from without hand came out in large numbers to say we demand an 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
8:48 am
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 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 jury. 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. so let's go to a took mindful day for the government, the se in these governors on news,
8:49 am
but then not being killed. why is it that in where we leave and then the someone on just the phone? it was my dad a cleaning on a. so cleaning all according to that, the little so the, we need to, we need to put it clear that it needs to be an, an important thing that we feel like it's not if it's not dry and equally on 100 dash bill is the case of calls in being in the s, like some people and government and stolen dealings made so many tickets, the federal court with names and in the country. and during this period, there was also a lot of property in the communities, and actually the police did not as waste their coven dns despite having been a protest. it is the people protesting against this. go 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
8:50 am
stealing from the people. because the government told from the poor in that particular incent which led them to a lingering is when you say that you're fighting for justice, what does justice look like? fear? so for me, justice means uh this, this so 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 be the by the police to conduct a fundraising. so as can get funds to do the body image, why don't you have in good justice because that, that's almost game that need strong to, you know, given a, find me so for this, nor does it there. so if i, if i guess is that people shouldn't be treated equally. that's what does this mean? so what about you? wonder at what is justice look like to you and when you're fighting for that well, is it that you were thinking about? my brother was killed by police. justice ideally would look like me guessing left
8:51 am
my brother. but that is not possible. so injustice would look like preventing people from losing their loved ones. still anything that would make sense for me. so the reason we, i'm fighting that physically needs to solve. so ken is do not have to go through unnecessary paid close by the bullet. 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 there was a case to offer the name of the office on monday station for over a company station who killed someone in the police station, you 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
8:52 am
imprisonment. and that was the 1st day i saw justice in action in this country. and i want to move the conversation 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 feels 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 of very beginning to end or we at a police list 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 that's all, it was all about stuff. it's like you're just getting, 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
8:53 am
follow the ad and we've got new new police. and are there any other names of people or any other examples of cultural or music the 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 slide more relevance. we should see to advance the struggle of last people what she was 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
8:54 am
messages like the ones that you care about? most. mostly i've been using social media as well as sort of like a proof. and whenever you have so, so maybe it's easier to even tell people like this, these are part of the things that they have done. so indeed up this a 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 have 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,
8:55 am
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 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 to my battery has been existing. think it's the oldest, get to him can. 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,
8:56 am
to create the kind of future we want to know for children's children and similarities. as i know you can relax about your community and i want to hear from you 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 our 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 money to get them out of such issues so. so most of a proud to fall of the defies that i've gone through in interesting that the things that write 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?
8:57 am
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, as i 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 or 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 tell kids which, which, if i'm in the, and also for the future can of
8:58 am
course, the world, young activists and organizers are on the move. the generation change makes the new york as using alternative approaches to flight institutional racism and police brutality. this is indeed a nation wide problem that with wires a systemic solution. generation change on that,
8:59 am
which is the reason he's being and it's being, it's being measured for intelligence agencies are the task to do things in secret that are unlawful. all politically embarrassing, all of the colleagues that i knew show was to retire from the n. s a. they could not stand by and see all the work that they had done being used for mass or balance digital dissidents on our do 0. when the news breaks, the story of this village is the same as many of us spread across the eastern front line. no electricity, no running water. when people need to be hot. and the story needs to be told this
9:00 am
children are unable to go outside inside is extremely hot with exclusive interviews and in depth reports lowes. people expect that it's be worked out all together by now. i'll just see right. has teams on the ground to bring you more award winning document trees and light news. the . i'm told the guy in the base of the top stories on al jazeera, fully us vice president mike pins has criticized donald trump. the trying to pressure him into of attending the 2020 election results. trump will appear in a washington dc court on thursday on full charges of conspiracy and obstruction pincers. trump should never be president again. we found that the president trump asked me to put him over the constitution, but i chose the constitution.
