for the town's cultural brick and its contemporary art see. what secrets lie behind these. find. yourself experience and explore. cultural heritage sites. d w world heritage for sixty. well come to our new episode of the seventy seven percent o'brien news show for africa i wonder. did you know that seventy seven percent of all africans are under thirty five that's a lot and on this new show we get to the heart of the issues here's what's coming up. we talk or when we just extreme is the why do people join radical islamist
7:31 am
groups and what can be done about it. the we head over to the media where we need to design i was inspired by the traditional allocates of the head of people and later on. at the press and more along the success on a tour of a whole city can shuffle you see actually. the. first report is a boat a pressing issue radicalization why do young people especially young men give up everything they have to join a terror organization to explore that question our reporter johan for nia bach traveled to kenya where he spoke with a former fighter the coastal town of mumbai it was regarded as a tourist paradise for many years but now terrorism is a real threat in kenya is the second largest city. mohammad moved. nearly two years for the terrorist group the former christian
7:32 am
converted to islam and went to somalia as a foreign fighter. now he speaks out for the first time about his radicalization and how he got away from al-shabaab. for security reasons we need to cover his real identity. do you a count from me to be types. like you see you have kids they don't go to school eat like one meal i'd be a major issue it's just i've been use their unemployment juleps. that beach. and all still leave. because they don't have job story love to just sit around with for. a terrorist recruiter promised mohammed five hundred dollars monthly to fight in somalia he accepted like many others he saw his recruitment as a job the only way to flee from poverty mohamed was then trained in mombasa and
7:33 am
sent to somalia you know and you start to shoot generally comes into the border you step to should you going to go back. even shoot at belmont is one pomade member there was a pregnant from a woman a woman was dead i could see a baby crying mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy. and myself was destroyed. mohammad managed to escape but he was wounded back in kenya he was given amnesty. but others still undergo the same recruitment has up to date based security expert . there are people who are still being groomed. their group that are being. radicalized dead a lot of videos flying around less. just like an arrow targeting
7:34 am
a whole group of people that is physically the point us. just ten minutes away from the mombasa city center lies just so many mohammedan was radicalized here the sony is known to be mombasa's tara but there are people here who want to change that the mom who study mahmoud is fighting radical priests trying to convince the young and angry at there is a peaceful islam but to others of us are. often this or that one we just told them that they've been getting a wrong to visitation of the koran observers or thought that as leaders by just watching as our young people suffer when jumble of us are those we decided to give them the right to their protection of the koran we had a man in a monday. who study mahmoud tries to solve the problem of radicalization inside the community but his efforts often nullified by the police the constant raids nurtured terrorism rather than eradicating it says up to date. coverage has just given that
7:35 am
you know t.v. and saw them in the national park the beaten by the by the. now forty four disappearance is what is now causing a lot of people unlawful routes in mombasa to be more agree fifty two are joining and who have equalised done being on the government side and thinking about their country but mombasa has indeed become a safer place for that because of or despite the police intervention mohammed is now supporting the authorities that was the main condition for his amnesty he now wants others about the risks there is nothing like all you indicate on. find a good share only teach you on fasts. stay away from. people you might feel you know a muslim. and they have money but you don't know where their income comes from but
7:36 am
as long as poverty prevails there will be young africans who follow the call of money law enforcement alone will never make places like mombasa northern nigeria or other parts of africa more peaceful. islamic radicalization is a major threat not only in kenya but also in many other african countries like nigeria and mali for example in this week's streets debate our report at aged care money is in mumbai so where she brought the police and young people together to discuss the issue you just saw that many of the fighters join extremist groups not because of religion but because they want to risk it over tea without thinking about the consequences so what can be done to prevent. it's one of the most beautiful places in kenya and it is also the port city that's
7:37 am
where we are right now but it's also become infamous over the last couple of years because of terrorism what started off as piracy has now grown into home bred radicalization and that's exactly what we want to address today is it still a problem and if so why so we're going to begin with mr alfred here he says he is a youth leader do you think that radical radicalization is still a problem in this county. cannot. inclusion is a process. where you are five years ago you cannot. come. and share our platform with all of us before it was not. before it was a bit difficult even accessing some of the offices for some of us i would say it is at least a step in that direction ok so the youth representative says we're trying but i know someone here who is not very happy with what's happening but to call you from
7:38 am
government's side security analyst of the some of the actions that the government took you know injures or had some few people who are not part of this problem so if every time you have to disappear. it's blamed on the government and nothing is done that used to disappear that way that the family that reality that you know the people who are left behind will not be friendly with that government definitely there will be nothing grievances that can be exploited by the terrorist to recruit or two to four suppose those people into that action ok so mr county commissioner coming to you mr obvious telling us not to talk about trooper that's the root causes of terrorism have not been addressed and it will always research what do you say to that. the issue of you the disappearance this is an issue that i didn't discuss that we think that the three waves with which this
7:39 am
issue should be addressed what we have is the policy of a state of florida which is conducting investigations into some of these cases to that is the judiciary. when there were never such cases that happen. you know there is also the police. so all these avenues are open but the question is and you know for everyone here do you trust your government to do you trust the police do you trust i mean you know you can't answer your guns also question that's not meant to be yes so so so do you do you trust your institutions would you happily go to them if anyone approached you to maybe try and recruit you there's a gentleman here who's been wanting to talk for a while let's hear what he has to say you can feel or sense. that there is no trust between the police or the administration of the local militia and a lot of people fear great information that they take to the police station and myself because. some you corrupt government officials
7:40 am
leak information so you fear when they go and say this to morrow or somebody comes and follows me ok but you can't commission i don't know if you had that but there were a lot of accusations that were leveled against the police correct we have that challenge what i'm saying is that to give that information was spose a book on this that you have called me and my county commission i have left my office because by being here with the youth i see what the duty quite well alfred took a while for it to look out good i mean i was ok you know you care about the rights here and the sick police can't commissioner has asked want to more do you require i come from an area that i you know that is going on a very remote area what do we as. from those people so you want to better communication exact ok so we've just heard that the responsibility now falls back
7:41 am
to the community to the young people that you've been given all the resources the police commissioner has opened his doors for you so what can you do as a young person from mumbai to try and eliminate this problem the reality is just understanding that equalization from this perspective whereby you will find that many of us are suits. easy targets we have to say religious leaders who are also not ready to bring up young religious leaders we have different leaders who are not ready to peak. until tomorrow to become a leader so that when you're going to go so out of that. still be i challenge him and we've been told that's one of the problems is religious leaders not grooming younger ones is that generational gap but i know that you actually teach religious studies in one of your mosques now how important is that in a community like this one some of the critical mind of a masonic one of them was a muslim i know or that you know was a cleaner or was it one of quad drug wars as every young man in. the for that
7:42 am
concert a few months ago and i you know us about that. zooms and i manage a measurement miscue do i wear the name. when we move that demi or is it a seizure. crystal i'm going in my second and you know in a moment i'm a pastor thank you so much i want to give a few more people the opportunity to say what they think about this matter before we close if i see a hand that's not fit that when you called me to a meeting you have informed me we will say that it has been a process yes involving very youth but as the youth of mumbai we feel we are not there you know when you called me on the table and asked me what have you what's going through what are some of the issues you need to be addressed what drives do you think we have driving the youth to join i shall. bob at that level when you're discussing that i'll be able to provide because they know i'm part of the youth who are being recruited but i'm part of a youth. in
7:43 am
a constituency which is at risk of being recruited because when in mombasa if one is a priest ok there were some other solutions from way come from those once a billboard of the youth that are wanted but that dangerous why don't direct a billboard of the youth. you had equalised they are jumping. to the schools they've been speak to be in youth i mean this is a very bad thing we don't know the young would have been aware so the jump maintenance of these young girls that's an interesting suggestion turned the villains into heroes thank you to everyone who joined me right here at fort oh i'm getting clips and it's right here that we're trying to figure out how to win this new battle of our generation radicalisation moby head the solutions and thank you all for watching.
7:44 am

7:45 am
a new angle thinking the media presents. it tells us who we are it tells us more about where we came from who hoover really present it makes us be who we are individually. it's more than herrera dresses have traveled to catapult across the african continent and europe. distress is however much more than just a fashion. german colonialist in the late nineteenth century ordered herrera's to wear victorian style clothing the pastoralist appreciated code in their own way and added special features such as colorfully printed fabrics on the head resembling the haunt of home. which given its way to her turned the humiliation into a triumph of our it continues to study with
7:46 am
a modern twist i only say especially when i get criticised in regard to my designs i would say what makes a hair or dress be a hair on dress it's basically the health care that is that. other was one can play around with the to every charge have is fifty or less have it. the way you want his function sparks heated debate over whether he's not insensitive to the history of the people i've been to. what many young people enjoyed of ours unique style they beautiful like wherever you go everybody would just be like oh you know beautiful on it you know i love fashion so when you go to a wedding you would want to wear the latest and all that it's very beautiful that's why i love it. for the rarest historical a time is an important element with jack welch will remember every year if it should be to the ancestors or ugly quotes of the hero population where massacred by
