1:33 pm
sent to somalia you know and used to shoot ten million thompson to the board you stepped issue given a bit of it. even shoot about women is one thing maybe even but there was a pregnant movement there almost did i see a baby crying mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy. and myself was destroyed. mohamed managed to escape but he was wounded back in kenya he was given amnesty. but others still undergo the same recruitment because up to date based security expert. there are people who are still being groomed. they have group that are being. radicalized dead a lot of videos flying around. messages fly in and out targeting
1:34 pm
a whole group of people that is basically the point you it's. just ten minutes away from the mombasa city center lies just sony mohammedan was radicalized here the sony is known to be mumbai terror hub but there are people here who want to change that in mama study mahmoud is fighting radical priests trying to convince the young and angry at there is a peaceful islam right as it was a little bit off from the sort of work we just told them that they've been getting around to visitation of the koran observatory thought that as leaders i just watch it as our young people suffer when jumble of us yes we decided to give them the rights their protection of the koran they had in mind in a minute we have to study mahmoud tries to solve the problem of radicalization inside the community but his efforts often nullified by the police the constant raids not to terrorism rather than eradicating it says up to date. the government
1:35 pm
has just given them you know and then throw them in the national park the beaten by their by the. now forty four disappearance is what is now causing a lot of people on a lot of routes in mombasa to be more agreed to what joining and being practical is 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 mohamed 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 will indicate on. find a good share only teach you on fasts. their way from. the people you might feel you know almost. i do you have money but you don't know where the income comes from but as long as poverty prevails there will be
1:36 pm
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 it did kill 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 escape over to 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
1:37 pm
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. i would say where we were five years ago. they're going to come. and share our platform with all of us before it was not. before it was a bit difficult even accessing some of the obvious for some of us i would say it is at least a step in the right 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
1:38 pm
government's side security analyst of the some of the actions of the government took you know. some few people who are part of this problem so every time you see disappear. it is blamed on the government and nothing is done that used to disappear that way that a family that reality that you know the people who are left behind will not be friendly with that the government definitely there will be nothing grievances that can be exploited by the terrorist to recruit or to to force those people into that action ok so mr county commissioner coming to you mr obvious telling us not to talk about. that's the root causes of terrorism have not been addressed and it will always research what do you safe. the issue of you the disappearance this is an issue that i didn't discuss that we think that the three ways to which this issue should be addressed what we have is the policy of
1:39 pm
a state authority which is conducting investigations into some of these cases to that is the judiciary. when there were never such cases that happen to you that is also the police internal affairs you do so all these avenues 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 you've got to 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 better to stray from the local militia and a lot of people fear great commission that they take to the police station and myself because. their networks that. you government officials
1:40 pm
leak information so you fear when i go and say this to morrow somebody comes in 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 to dispose of book offices you have called me and my county commission i have left my office to come under here with the youth i think what the duty quite well fredricka alfred i want to look out good i mean i was ok you know you heard about the right here mr police called commissioner has to want to more do you require i come from an area that i you know there is a forum going on a very remote area what do we as. those people so you want to better communication exact ok so we've just heard that the responsibility now falls back to the
1:41 pm
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 mombasa to try and eliminate this problem the reality is just understanding of equalisation from this perspective whereby you will find that many of us are. easy targets we have religious leaders who are also not ready to bring up young religious leaders we have different leaders who are not ready to speak for it. become a leader so that when you're going to go so out of that radicalization you'll still be telling 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 mill someone to come out of a masonic one of them was a muslim i know or that you know most likely no one was there when the guard dog
1:42 pm
was a young man and. in the fight there come a concert a few months ago and i you know survival that. zooms and i manage muslim measurement miscue do you wear your name. when we move or to demi or as 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 not to before we close i see a hands that's not fit that when you called me to a meeting you have involved me who will say that it has been a process yes involving the youth but as the youth of mumbai we feel we are not there now when you called me on the table and asked me what are the youths going through what are some of the issues you would need to address what drives you think we have driving the youth to join action. bob at that level when you're discussing that i would be able to provide because they know i'm part of the youth who are being recruited but i'm part of
1:43 pm
a youth. in our 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 runs a billboard of the youth that are wanted but that dangerous well i don't really get a billboard of the youth. you had to call as they are jumping. to the school to be a youth i mean this is a very big thing we do know that you're not even aware so they're jumping minton's these young girls that's an interesting suggestion turn the villains into heroes thank you to everyone who joined me right here at fourteen 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.
