the cults west like me despite this little 50 nations 50 story. and 50 very personal tips on berlin's very best in terms of. the. book no planet or land covering would come on t.w. . going to. this is the news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes boko haram 10 years on and still fighting for they ever be defeated they've just staged the deadliest attacks so far this year at least $65.00 people are dead after armed militants sprayed bullets at mourners that a funeral a man hands by the military is underway. and harvesting empowerment africa's chroma culture movement is empowering women in rural areas.

hello i'm christine. africa i'm glad your children nigeria's military is on the hunt for boko haram fighters suspected of killing at least 65 people at the weekend the attack took place in a village in borno state in the north east of the country the victims were attending a funeral when they were gunned down by a gang of militants riding on motorbikes and in vans no group has claimed responsibility but the boko operates in the region. this time the extremists came on motorbikes. they gunned down muslim mourners they were praying for their debt. in the garden that told them to do it they knew that you didn't work.

but the vote huge then they went up to the sheikh to do that if you total up to 60 but the terrorist group has not yet claimed for sponsibility for the attack but officials believe it was a reprisal 2 weeks ago villagers and civilians self defense forces killed 11 boko haram fighters this is just the latest in the long series of boko haram. attacks in north eastern nigeria 10 years of violence has left the 27000 people dead booker harems attacks have this place about 2000000 people. a spokesman for president mohammed who were happy said his administration is quote determined to and the menace of terrorism. in the affected region the local governor also promised acts. that were not the little we were just coming you know and.

so i would hope some sort and some help that school is emitted to discuss the willful took this attack was the deadliest so far this year in the region proof that 10 years after it started very to his campaign of violence boko haram still has ability to remain and to devastate for more on this i'm joined by d.j. . how is one good to see you why has this insurgency been so difficult to wife out 10 years after the fact. i think there are a lot of fact that make it so difficult number one most of the politician in be happy to hear there are so many difficult to fight terrorist including even if you have the nation you have the military power to fight them because people who move in villages and especially in lake chad region were. very difficult to

move and this is where the book. it is so difficult for them to do it but. it's the willingness of the military itself and the politician with that they want to end this war because recently we saw some sort of an in away from the battlefield complaining that they don't have a mission to fight. and this is one of the difficult and in the petition sites they used to complain that. territory by boko haram they all was shown some of their success but they don't go into dialogue or the outside of bring into and of the crisis post what is nigeria getting help from other countries in its fight against. yes nigeria is getting help from that country especially since they come in dr saddam bihari when they're from this national want to national forces because at the beginning even they

brought in nigeria like need came out and chad we're seeing this problem a nigerian problem but immediately when it came in they brought a team called multi-national with including even been a republic which is not chad and some western support especially the united states the u.k. and some european countries are really helping. jordan sent a lot of times tonight right 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. just at the beginning you know they just started just for revenge. revenge against the military or disk unity forces but tactically they moved back in some government institution which saturday fia into people and they lifted their move to be attacking him to be dual who just like inform on anyone who is suspected like

giving information about boko haram is. being killed and lit what book did this tatted attack in villages not military institution but the big new members moving in to get in also giving them food especially now what is clear. control in the give the people good life there is a few taxes including telling the people what you want we will do for you before the people than they were from but now in some areas. information coming to move like a government did it people don't have to feel anything they only go to villages bring more food more recruit and also they move different places because including the including come on and in. between nigeria immediately you have a large area that nobody control it is. only ok.

thank you thank you. now imagine that you leave your small home through your garden of herbes and salad then a fruit garden beyond that you'll be hives then crop fields giving way to wilderness behind that the forest for the sun like a dream this is actually the concept of perma culture now one project using the myth it 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 in any income. my next guest today has started a project way 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 mature 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 my view is simply designed through college or principals 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 so it's mainly from a personal perspective where i grew up with my grandmother and my mother sometimes 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 argument that each community in zimbabwe where we are. looking at many people are not twerking with in the rural areas most mothers can want to feed their children we need to start to grow our own food and feed him in his 1st so it's very quite important that was looking into not just farming but the principle was that because when you observe and work around for my college your principles here realize it's not about moral planting we'll just do maize and it's on like menus and when people would want to do maize on their on or a winter in their on but when you start working with from a college or you're looking at more no planting and you're looking at how can you work with the land without using. sides so what do you plan to with what crops that will quote 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 and you find of this so much going on in the world but we just don't know about it unless you bump into the wind from our culture 3 months ago i knew nothing about from a college and 2 i bumped into a friend and i told them 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 farm they need to do that living in japan so you have people and lots of people in australia doing permaculture and training in permaculture design you have groups like billy monist on the guy who 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 programs going on in kenya in uganda and also in zimbabwe we have one of the most projects code that you are project which is being bending in the east and highlands so there is

a little further that's already got going on just that most communities we don't know and until we bump into ok very quickly and avoid the i mean. what i gather the essence of perma culture is working with the land and not on the land very quickly it's explained that concept so for instance instead of using pesticides and fertilizers you look at what is a rigid there on the land so for instance you can search using. cow dung as your menu and she can she can. drop and say actually she can droppings as your menu and the same time planting and plans that will record together so there's some plants which insect repellents so instead of buying a pierced sides and damaging the lendu you're actually looking into what plants do dr klein 12th which one and over some time you're looking at what ever wartime 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 sings how does that wartime gets directed into some way so we think everything or no space of flanges brain work in our favor with degrading the ecosystem ok linda gabriel thank you thank you so much. and that is it for now from these happy news africa as always you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page today will leave you with these images of african up in college not all if it came from a culture but shining a light on the role of self-sufficiency till next time i bet.
