people with disabilities who make footballs sold all over the world. i'm christine wonderwall come to the news africa i'm glad your chin a 48 hour nationwide strike is under way in sudan with citizens demanding a civilian government off to a military coup last month the sudanese professionals association which spearheaded the process that led the army to. urge people to show up at work on tuesday and wednesday but abstain from any activity. in parts of the capital khartoum shops and businesses closed offices were left empty as people across sudan took to the streets to express their discontent with the transitional military

government hundreds of flights were canceled thousands left stranded as airport workers walked out. many pank staff also stopped work. but today the people of sudan demand their rights we want to civilian lead authority a democratic state a country where rights and 2 teams are respected for all citizens we are also here out of respect for the dead this is the least we can do for them. one protest leader says negotiations with the military have stalled and there's no alternative except to scale up the protests. we only have civil measures available to us that we will continue with civil disobedience and strikes until our demands are fully met we want to transfer to civilian authority to have.

the military ousted the former president omar al bashir in april and his 30 year rule but for months now protesters have kept up their demonstrations outside army headquarters pressing for a civilian government it's not clear when or even if negotiations with the military will resume. my guest today is a sudanese human rights activist is from darfur and this kind based in. adam so we've seen your fellow countrymen taking part in that strike what are your people back at home. that a lot of people are talking speakers and today they're telling me is that is it a successful day because of too much people was bought out of the bank or people who work even in the minister and foreign ministry woman in sudan they are bottom of it. as

a people who is also don't have to do is also politico's about of it is 100 percent a success for the strike today and for the right. what's your feeling about how determined people law this is it has been taking place for over a month now and of course the general strike is in the next 48 hours is radio about upping the ante and putting pressure on a ministry that doesn't appear to want to lift. off its reins on the power but what i wanted to know from is how determined do you get the sense that people law is something that they're willing to continue doing for months to come i think so because it's the 1st time that people after 30 years of war didn't for dictatorship the good to get their way they get the chance to somehow to demand their signature you know just why i think it is the people i talk to them these are this is our chance are we have to take you know what i mean don't give up. you can seize at this specially if you know when i was in sudan is also ramadan people are fasting but it's the people are sitting there in this funny time what is it like more than

45 degrees and there is still a 1000000 astrologers villagers freedom so i think all of that noise out and also we have our experience about all just government from police you know from from for the military and people say is an ok we don't need any military no more and this is our chance to have democracy. and civil to give those with up. until. right adam you you came onto the program on the news of being ousted by the military in april we're sitting here today and we're talking about upping the ante off the failed negotiations with the military to get that civilian government i just wondered if you still have that same sense off my country is on the brink of change that you did back then today. i am still feel this change is coming because what is happening now in the society is not easy to see just in political way like in the political level is there is still something

have to be done and that's why there is no vision of the show but i think it's also the source why it is it is so much. you know if you see the result of this drive now and like bank of bank of sudan the bank was. supposed to be one of bob's institution were not people striking it is a big. success for my point of view just what i see that it will come i have to hope that people in sudan they will build. the best. symbol to get home for the next time and just have to wait for it all right adam baja sidney's human rights activist thank you and would come. on next report is from south africa where one woman says she struggled to find history books black african children could identify with and those she did find were limited in scope now determined to fill that get no longer. own book she's already sold some 2000 copies and hopes more

children in africa will get to read it. no longer loves reading. but today she's reading a book she wrote herself. with a book in africa with our view and. some of the fricken historian no longer hopes to prepare her daughter louis for the future by teaching her the history of white people. own experiences an african that the one thing that africans. has and put them through centuries of pain is knowing where they are and where they come from. the university professor discovered that african history books written for kids were most exclusively focused on ancient egypt she wanted to paint a broader picture about the continent past she wants to cover everything from ancient history to more contemporary independence movement. when africans are clear

about the history and about where they come from and the origins and their different mythologies we do way better as kids in school we do way better as students at university and we do. far better in the world in terms of being innovators when we know our history. no longer also realized that there are no history books that black children in africa could really identify with she was determined to prove the gap and sat down with her illustrator friend will learn a boy to develop a comic book for children in african history just trying to represent visually. elements of african history so that kids can. kind of get a feel for it through the visual side but not in a way that. helps african people know my longest approach is simple she shows

kids and young adults a different perspective on african history the subject of slavery for example is looked at from a much broader perspective and doesn't just focus on africa shows that humans have been cruel to one another everywhere throughout history. this is an important message in a country like south africa where christmas of its colonial past be found everywhere . no longer stresses that this alternative perspective was sorely missed and up until now even in schools but now those like those in the 3rd lose a secondary school have something to be proud of i want to know more up all of this because it is my. no one in this book embraces african history and culture plus it covers issues ranging from the rise of asian civilizations to slavery colonialism

struggles for independence and famous africans. it's really. teaches people about cultures. i feel joy because we don't have books. please us confident that our efforts will pay off the popularity of our book is to rise and perhaps one day walk well it will become compulsory in schools across africa. now it's to a factory in nairobi where people with disabilities make and staged footballs that all sold to football associations all over the world including. now the initiative alive and kicking employs about 70 people and is also present in zambia and. it may look like any other factory but this place is about giving people a chance for many people living with disabilities in africa finding steady work can

be next to impossible joyce has experienced that firsthand in the past employers wouldn't even think of hiring her due to her shoulder condition but she insists she's perfectly capable of doing certain type of jobs. it will be something new to lots of challenges finding a job for people like us were living with disabilities that people would just look at us and judge so it becomes really difficult sometimes you find that you can do some of the jobs you find but your boss looks at you and thinks you cannot just because of the way you look. for our colleague juma making footballs has also become a way of helping others. on this one i have been here for almost a year and i love this job we are supplying uganda tanzania kenya all of east

africa stuff because so you see this job has done a lot for me because of my income if help my friends and educating my children i'm progressing in life. and that's the going to. the workers here are able to make a decent living but it's also about boosting confidence and taking pride in what they do. is important to national and out all of these footballs we make here and up all over the world last month i was in kampala and i saw them being played there and i felt like this thing we're doing is something important it's something that can uplift people because they are sent all over the world and. all of us but. so far the team has produced over 300000 footballs and some of them have shipped all the way to prominent european clubs like arsenal manchester united and chelsea . and that is it from africa today as always you can catch all stories on our
