this is news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes a mass movement of people is just taught in east africa the 1st group from 200000 wounded refugees and tanzania will be returned home in the coming dollars. to model gandhi was born 150 years ago today the n.c. colonial activist spent more than 2 decades in africa where he's legacy continues to divide opinion we'll hear why. and football 1st for sadat the country's new women's me testicle we'll bring you highlights.

hello i'm kristie want to welcome to news africa it's good to have you along a mass repatriation off today fiji's in tanzania is due to start in a few i was there all currently more than 200000 were indians living in camps in tanzania they fled in 2015 when violence broke out after president. ran forth the disputed to the camps they've been living in all situated in the west tanzania on the show off lake tanganyika last october both governments agreed on repatriations which will start with a group of 1000 but the un has reservations in a statement the u.n. h.c.r. spokesman say that at this stage things on. full mass returns.

my 1st case today is prosper from these every africa he's reported extensively from to go my way it happens to be 3 camps as we just told you how high prospects get to see you be the un is raising concern about the situation in both a and b. but the governments of tons of the and they are still going ahead with the repetitive ations just tell us help us understand why yeah it is true that. confusion is stories about the population of a broom that if you. disappeared in the key guma. you. have been telling the story that you tell us a little support to the population of there we people from wounded to return about their cut your country but say that they don't have assurance that booty security is. stability is to be there so they don't think that is the time now to check. if you. back home they

tease but also their government over time then you know assisting that from their perspective and their research which was going to be by both countries and brutally they should is that to bloom is that they have enough peace and security so that allow all refugees from but only to go back home. ok you have also spoken to some of these refugees and what do they say do they want to go back to when they will stay in tanzania. yesterday i had to interview with the word no but if you do from new delhi. if you come in the district in a region telling the story that you see that somebody from friends who want to go back home because they think in their area they have enough peace and security so that they can go back and live

a peacefully but who think that if they come to go back because the story that they hide from the truth of the 15 year with their kills in the coffee became during the election they don't think about their area p.c. for enough to go back to the process so we're talking about moving 200000 people how long is this process expected to take according to the minister for home affairs if from tanzania mr condit will go to he said that the process of taking those approved and if you do back home and on the 3rd to 50 december this year and i think asking i think that you have to make sure that the day to really meant by that process all right that's prosper. africa thank you. about 150 years ago i was born ceremonies have been taking place across india where gandhi lived the campaign for independence but it was during 2 decades living in

the politics of africa where the freedom movement lead and the values that came to define him nonviolent resistance in recent years have a gun just time on the continent has been viewed in a different light. gandhi arrived in south africa as a young trade lawyer named modest the walls of the cottage where he once lived now a museum tell the story of how his experience of segregation shaped his life and changed the world. he had this notion of nonviolence passive resistance of which we could earn a lot in our times right now on the streets of johannesburg it's a legacy that endures even if the details are vague out of those who don't know about that he threw off. my god in the right to my right so much like that i don't know but i know that if it is from india is in indian hero he's a breeze are you person sees we're down we're different races we all know that you

can support the flag so i would say i'm going to counter what some people say going on in india. that you get in england lived in south africa. was a big incident on the train the winter games. but they did right and you don't want to believe that moment when gandhi refused to leave the white only compartment on a train opened his eyes to injustice set in motion a life dedicated to nonviolent resistance and carved himself into history yet his reputation here is tinge with accusations that while he fought for indians in south africa he ignored the plight of black people often using racist slurs. good person yes human yes and there is this for anybody else to touch.

it was on leading south africa that gandhi's host named him my heart but meaning the venerable soul a century later the name remains and so to the criticisms of this complex character . now to shed some more light on this complex character let's bring in dr obama daley come born from the institute of african studies at the university of the welcome to date of the africa a doctor so you were part of a move to take down gandhi's statue from your campus tell us why. yes it was based on primary firsthand research now a lot of people have lots of perceptions about gandhi but very few of it is based on his actual writings and his actual words so when the statue appeared because me myself i'm a senior research fellow and all i do is research i was already quite aware of who gandhi was in relation to the black people that is the indigenous people of africa

so when you actually go through his writings he refers to african people as savages after as half heathens as one degree removed from animals so whatever he is to his own upper caste endo ariens as he called himself and fellow colonists as he called the british what he was in relation to black people not just through his words but there was actions that he fought against those who knew people in the bottom rebellion that he fought to secure segregate the dharm in post and telegraph office is he fought to segregate the jails so that the laboratories the indians had to use were not the same ones that african people you know were allowed to use right so all of these things and then later on in his life he went back to india to fight against the indigenous black people there the idea vices and valleys and so forth and so on you know this is who he was in relation to black people all right i mean what is that we all talking about you know a great man in history so to say and you know god is universally celebrated as an

anti colonial hero and in south africa he did stand up against white minority rule in fact some have even gone this far is arguing that he paved the way for nelson mandela so in some way does he deserve some place in in african history other than some of the things that you have just told us. well you know already you have people who have the perception or gandhi is so great and so forth and so on in my opinion is saying that he paved the way for nelson mandela is not necessarily a compliment because if you look in south africa the problem that the people of south africa suffered from was genocide and not you know apartheid which is just being apart from the ones who are committing the genocide you can look at the same thing people say well martin luther king was so great all problem there was also genocide and i'm referring to the un definition of genocide which is a 5 part definition killing members of the group causing serious bodily a member mental harm to members of the group writing about conditions to destroy

the group in whole or in part and so forth and so on so again if you look at the problem of black people in the u.s. as well as genocide and not segregation and then the same thing in india so in all 3 places you have the images of mandela of king and of gandhi where the problems that the black people suffer from are is actually tantamount to genocide and is not oh you're all right talk from them meanwhile you know the exact same ones who are doing this are the ones who shove them down our throat so i think this is a major issue all right that's that's all the data come from the university off gonna now we've covered sudan extensively on this program especially the turmoil around the else to off the phone the president all the shit and the subsequent political developments as we speak and you transitional government is in place and today we have a good report the country's 1st ever women's football has kicked off in the capital hard too and it's a major achievement for everyone involved. a landmark

moment for sudan the opening match of the country's 1st ever women's football league it isn't. even the match officials at the game in khartoum where female. he fought in yellow to come to harding in a game which would have seemed impossible just a few months ago when the muslim majority nation male fans watched as well as female supporters and the new minister of sport when how 1st of all this is a great historic day in the history of sudan with the opening of the 1st women's football league this is the result of a huge effort that did not just start today or yesterday. the championship involving $21.00 clubs comes after the army overthrew longtime ruler omar al bashir in april it was a new joint civilian military body is now ruling the country for a transitional period activists hope the start of the women's football league is one of a series of liberal policies promoting freedom of speech women's rights and the us

. so to so that here now before the sudanese revolution my goal was to perhaps play outside sudan but since i found a place to play in my own country i don't want to play abroad it's better to play in your own country that i've lived in. the silky skills on the show wowed the 8000 strong crowd. this was the 1st time i played at the stadium in khartoum it was something really great and special. was it ended in a 22 draw was the joy of the players when storing a goal showed how much it meant to everyone involved was and that is it for now from his africa you can catch all our stories on how if size and facebook page leave you with this song that says if a woman. with next time. people
