11:34 pm
because people who move in villages and especially in lick chad will join with the very difficult to move and this is where the book. it's so difficult for them to do it but. it's the willingness of the military itself and the politician way that they want to end this war because recently we've. been in away from the battlefield complaining that they don't have a nation to fight. but. this is one of the difficult and in the condition sides they used to complain that. territory by boko haram their own was shown some of their success but they don't go into dialogue. of bring into and of the crisis post what is nigeria getting help from other countries in its fight against. yes it is getting
11:35 pm
help from other countries especially since they come in doctors to do what hardy when they formed this national multinational forces because i did beginning even neighborhood in nigeria like need came out and chad we're seeing this problem a nigerian problem but immediately when behind it came in they brought a team called multi-national including even been a republic which is not border and chad and some western support especially the united states the u.k. and some european countries out early helping. jordan send a lot of times tonight right here so the help is there ok also man how have we seen the groups tactics evolve in the decade that it's been active. well. at the beginning you know they just started just for revenge. revenge against the military or their security forces but tactically they move back in some government
11:36 pm
institution which incited fear into people and they lifted their move to be attacking to be dual who just like inform on anyone who is suspected like giving information about boko haram is. being killed a little. distracted attacking villages not military institution but recruiting new members moving into the area getting also giving them food especially now what is clear where they are controlling they give the people good life that is fuel taxes including telling the people what do you want we will do for you before the people run away from but now in some areas controlled information coming to move like a government that people don't have to feel anything they only go to villages and bring more food more recruit and also they move different places because including
11:37 pm
the including come on and in. between nigeria immediately you have a large area that nobody control it is. only. also my channel thank you thank you. now imagine that you leave your small home through your garden of herbes and sell it then a fruit garden beyond that you'll be hives then crop fields giving way to wilderness behind that the forest is a sound like a dream this is actually the concept of perma culture now one project using the method is the future of hope foundation on the outskirts of. the farm teaches disadvantaged women and girls mushroom farming using waist corn cobs as a mushroom growing substrate this has transformed lives for the women who are now at any income. my next guest today has started
11:38 pm
a project where she aims to empower women in zimbabwe as are all areas through organic farming linda gabriel is most known for poetry and she joins me now to talk about her project i feel welcome to africa linda so tell us how your project matthew is going to work. saw to explain the concept of the word month you are is normally in most rural settings you have either 3 storms or 3 bricks that you used together to support. your cooking so the idea is for women to government to give to start producing their own food so move through is simply designed through permaculture principles who is that working with the land ok linda why is perma culture in your view the silver bullet for empowering women in rural areas in zimbabwe so it's mainly from a personal perspective where i grew up with my grandmother and my mother sometimes
11:39 pm
we had very little to and i think if then my grandmother knew on how world to work with the land would never have gone hungry so at this point it is very adamant that each community in zimbabwe will. looking at many people are not twerking with areas most mothers cannot feed their children we need to start to grow our own food and feed them in is best it's very quiet and going and that was looking into not just farming but principles because when you observe and work our own from our college our principles here realize it's not about moral planting we're just do maize and it's on like many people would want to do maize on their on or a witch on their on but when you start working with them at college and you're looking at more no planting and you're looking at how can you work with the land without using. pesticides so what do you plan to with what crops that will quote
11:40 pm
together ok. i want to understand if this is happening across the continent and to what extent or my god so the minute to sit down and study looking into just from a college are you find of this so much going on in the world but we just don't know about it unless you bump into the web from a college or 3 months ago i knew nothing about from a college and 2 i bumped into a friend and i told them what i was trying to do in wanting to women to come together to do farming that's in this in and it's not just about farming you need to do that living in japan so you have people and lots of people in australia doing permaculture and training and chemical design you have gurus like billy monist on the guy and then designed the mine your and wrote your book that people have been using over here is here jeff lord john that is so many more programs going on in kenya in uganda and also in zimbabwe we have one of the most projects code that you
11:41 pm
are project which is being happening in the eastern highlands so there is a lot of food that's already got going on just that most communities we don't know and until we bump into ok very quickly and before you go i mean. what i gather the essence of perma culture is working with the land and not on the land very quickly it explained that concept so for instance instead of using pesticides and fertilizers he looked at what is a rigid there on the lens so for instance you could search using. cow dung as your menu and chicken chicken. droppings it should because you can drop things as your menu and the same time planting and plans that will work or together so there's some plants which insect repellents so instead of buying a pissed sides in damaging the lendu you're actually looking into what plants dry dry with which one and over some time you're looking at what.
11:42 pm
gets or rain for that gets into your space how do you use that to our vantage and what ever waste from your bathroom or from your kitchen sink how does that wartime gets directed into some way so we think everything or no space of land history where in your favor with degrading the ecosystem ok linda gabriel thank you thank you so much. and that is it for now from these every news africa as always you can catch all stories on our website and facebook page today will leave you with these images of african up if not all of it came from a college of the shining a light on the role of self-sufficiency next time i think.
