future. far from. the clouds. my magic. nothing would change you know the banks. and so watch the language of the bank the money. speaking the truth. there a very warm welcome i want to come all right and this is the 77 per cent i will show for africa's. here's what's coming up for you in the next half hour. down below we discuss it difficulties mutinied like when face when they come back. he

joins ugandans pointing oh pizza is on the wall there are none i'd really like to write. and in canada we need to get money from the subject of violence just because she's a lesbian. but fost we head to the north and gonna wear a lack of basic amenities and job prospects are pushing many people to the brink so more and more young people are risking the dangerous journey to europe some of them make it others tragically die on the way and some like how do not one not return home after facing too many said the make the right decision. was made to eat the dinner for young closing on the outskirts of time money about 640 kilometers from ghana capital i'm very happy because i have a dog and his and his and it's my job. no m.p.

before it all worked for me but this wasn't always the case with no education no money and no job and lack of prospects in ghana's love and region drumhead not to libya after many setbacks he returned to his home country in 2017 however landing that illustrate well in libya has given him a new perspective on life come in austrian and bought but didn't believe me i was happy because of lend some sort of lending knowledge that can only sit. back and use it only just to get something to eat. it's the youth who suffer the most from development problems in north and ghana according to unicef just 60 percent attend primary school. i mean well carlia also wanted to leave during his journey to iraq he not only avoided to death but he survived and is now back in ghana whacking with after he

have people who just like he had lost faith in themselves and if their holy land so is that of those of the period to send them to school got to stand up and was as a parent has a role to play and 2nd the government also has a role to play most of those children who are seen are from. communities religious religious well you know they don't have access to schools so that you make those basic amenities available there were places you got to start out. of a lot of sort of people that want to assess that there is a good assisted to the future bright and. after home has helped more than 200 people since 2007 by giving them support and providing jobs in the region they want to make sure return these have a future. was able to make their own money it's a struggle for go into it to stop them from moving even beyond go to libya places like libya algeria and even be all to europe and such will not exist and green

opposite. how do now also went after them for support they have of a country's past trauma now is finally back on track. look at my brother at school yess i look at my mum to do this i look at myself oh my father is normal so i am the man of the house not. so i'm very happy. had room and dreams of opening his own organization to help support and the young people from his homeland. i'm glad the tyros choice to return home has worked out well for him believe it or not he's actually one of the last you woods of the only to need migrants across africa face many more challenges when they go back home from unemployment to stigmatization in the gandhi oh our reporter edith committee met with young rita knees and the international organization for migration to find out how they deal with the situation.

the gambia is responsible for the highest number of people emigrating per capita than any other african nation and that's truly shocking if you consider the size of the population here but now a lot of young people are coming back in fact the international organization for migration estimates that on a monthly basis over 100 returning a stepping right back into this country question is is the country prepared to take care of them and who better to us at this question for me than at troll gambians and we'll begin with mr demba here he is actually one of the people who left the country as an immigrant and you decided to take the back route known because it is that your regular way of going how was that journey for you was it worth it how long did it take just give you a little insight into what happened to 58 people to many people because. they said if you don't pay money was going to be going out to the prison. going

back to d.c. to discipline to french police to. you know. if you don't bring money do would be to you. right now when you came back did you have a support system where your friends good to you did they treat you differently no i don't have support of anybody i want. to support you somebody but still no no but i don't have support ok let me come are you one of the very few women actually because statistically women from the gambia daunte. migrates it's men who make up 97 percent of those people who are leaving and i'm curious to know as a woman if that journey was more difficult for you and if the government has been there for you since he returned is was very difficult a week me i don't talk see if i didn't throw a lot of money then i could not need there after i get there i can make feel i get the kidney problem before i am claiming i meet him then i think of me because that

then i was going. in. and that is that's was my still wish and it's very daniel's but they are very take care of me take me to the hospital little me back to you and so a lot of gratitude being expressed particularly to i.o.m. which i find interesting to somebody you are a social analyst do you think of the gang various to have you dependent on international organizations to solve a local problem. that's for sure because gambia does seem tough the capacity 200 this every right to depend on those international organizations from the national youth to the international organization for migration the e.u. projects in place that if success stories that become but on billboards in the country nothing is being done here concrete it's not ready it's not able to 103 tonys on the better for the international community to make sure that our young

people i'm not seeing what i have on look for a long term situation on the pushing mr somebody on here now talking about people who were forcibly repopulated back into their countries but these ones return voluntarily reside gambians where should they be taken wish will they go but they should come here what i'm saying here is under you know what's happening in libya from the media because according to. the international report the european union was cool about it and we disobedience to talk to enslave all young people i'm sorry i can't allow you to say such things we don't back it i mean we i. mean you have done not read nothing as fact. there's no reason to read. the international report i can send you the link you gave me a study of the stuff that is conflict so some very serious accusations being leveled not just against their will but international organizations i hear effective as i aware or any u.n. agency or any international organization our role in any country is to support the

government it's a bit unfair to see that any international organization will sold the entire problem on its own expertise is in a.v.r. which is assisted voluntary return and reintegration but at the same time we understand i cannot support returning is forever and i think we all need to work together with many different organizations to address this issue one of them being of course the national youth council the i.o.m. as his has rightly said is not here for the long haul what are your plans for people like and. i mean you know 2030 years from now and for the thousands of others who still haven't reached the shores of the gambia i think his arguments are supporting but it's an international going to something yes but did. he have to compliment the government jobs are you all part of this government you are representative of government and you're speaking as though it's a foreign entity what are you doing what have you done what we do is busy

government in terms of what i do. an. ability it is provided for them ok i don't know what has been provided what i'm delighted is what is coming from. this question is to ensure that we work with government and we can bring our example to see government hospital by that i mean dollars or 10000000 dollars and this is about investing in terms of supporting young people all right let me come to will suffice here because you know we're hearing from the n.y.c. that they have plans because of things that might happen in the future but you know already doing something about it do you think your government has let you down. you know for members. but does not you know if that's not what you think you know. most of the talk a i want to ask as well who is another social analyst it sounds like the more we dig into this issue the more complex it appears to be so what needs to happen to

resolve it if every step towards resolution compounds into another one we are feeling our young people and we are continuing to feel our young people that's not the kind of news i want to be putting out there because we don't have it i mean how can you get national project which should be responsibility of the state. sort of sponsibility use our citizens what plans have the good for the future what we do not insult to ensure that in 202-020-3020 extension 35 wellness attending here. what this is happening now is because. field a country for these people that is why they want to leave anybody who decides to die in the ocean. that's a problem you know that's a quote that our political economic system has a problem in our country ok on the topic of reintegration as a solution to deter future irregular migrants how does that work how does one become reintegrated back into their own country a lot of this reintegration happens on an individual basis so there are questions

of sustainability especially when it comes to how communities are being supported so one thing we want to do with i.o.m. is to shift reintegration to be community based what that means to develop projects for attorneys that involve the entire community so we can ensure that other individuals who have not yet migrated irregularly can benefit as well from these projects very quickly dr i want to finish with you what do you think the gambian needs looking forward so that we're not discussing the same thing 2 years from now all these young people are put in so we develop other ways we'll be doing the same thing government cannot employ everybody but everybody is a businessman some people are good in sports in swimming in basketball in painting we need to explore all these sectors and see how we can help to develop their potential so they can live in dignity to live in countries will go and look for dignity in some other place and that's what we're thinking about really well and that's where we're going to conclude this conversation is definitely very complex and multi mad at the beginning we asked the question what does it take to get people to stop migrating here regularly so was resoundingly give them something to

stay for thank you for. a big thanks to everyone who was involved in the debate as always you can watch a longer version of that debate on our you tube channel hands those of you who can drive. ok but how many of you can raise a cow over a bumpy gravel road like these. folks carry me but for susan one gift from uganda waterways is her life's dream and she's pretty good at it too. motor sport fans in uganda will do anything to cheer their teams was the adrenalin sport has a big following among both men and women. 2 but things look quite different in the

corporate. fia just over 50 licensed drivers international rally championship. almost exclusively men but the phrase one woman who runs the base. model when i had just gotten little did they know that these of course i was young by then that this young lady who'd come up to challenge a man everybody despised me that is a lady the speeds. whatever over. mistakes in the national championship are high and susan more often gets nervous when her rivals are on the truck. and fast so you become anxious. but let our own when you get to the top that when i get to the stats and. i drop

all the fia. it is not easy. how could driver knows how to give someone a boast when the competition is stiff. so i also tend to be a lady more in such a moment when she feels likely to be depressed the guys are faster than her and there is still a no we are fast. team strategy seems to be paying off when she said the super lady she's known to have funds can be an catchable. in 20 living the longest surprised me when she won uganda's national championship. she wanted to gain last year the only african woman ever twitchy of such wrestling success i remember myself i don't know i can tell everything. as long as i mean so i've lived my life so from the wife. to have fun and especially to women

who want is an icon of empowerment on to her. she is a right to be reckoned with great it was stripped the competition. from one strong woman to the next this lady here is mary with me from kenya looks like any other happy woman well what you don't see in this picture is the horrific violence she has faced the reason mary easily and in kenya like in many african countries almost sexual relationships some people like mary find themselves living in fear. but then most of the flights which means. sometimes i ask myself why. just because i'd love to fly if it weren't for mary. you had

a hard time guessing what she's been through mary identifies as a lesbian that is why his stepfather cost terrell to distribute when she was told a child that is why she was attacked by a group of men as a teenager and infected with hiv. they took down. to me all of them and then after me baffled. by the pool of my own blood. type thinking. and then even killed myself that's because they have done that. through my work over just when i was pregnant. and i'm so thankful group who may cause some in 10 years i. can see the money. he said. he gave me. his son christopher has given mary strength when

facing prejudice why should we did this really we did. because they're bringing evil on the world god created adam and eve not adam and steve did not accept the idea we counted it and have never learned with that it's our behavior they created selves. they are born like that i don't know i see it is i'm not which is again it's good but all the hostility she's saying countered hasn't broken marriage spirit so you start asking yourself. a minute that this. or i'm unique in my own way to because all that different in theirs and make me reza what. everybody one love goes with love i don't know what this whole. mary hopes that one day she won't have to fear prison

. and that she might be able to marry she loves. paul. but it looks like marry him with his dream won't come true any time soon a few months ago the high court upheld the existing ban on same sex relationships it's a painful setback not just for mary but also for one of all of us just like mary it feels discriminated against so he got in touch with the love and relationship expert. she reveals what's really behind kenya's anti-gay law. hello there and welcome to the spread a safe space where we get to discuss everything sex and relationship today we got

an email from ted and it's a really important question he asked their cast thank you for creating a platform for us to be open about our sexuality i recently came up to my friends as gay and it seems like people around me seem to hate the idea of it i sometimes get bullied at uni and can't seem to understand what the fear of homosexuality is really about can you explain it thank you so much for that e-mail ted and i'm really sorry that you have to go through that but in order for me to explain to you the origins of homophobia i'm going to have to take you back to 181007 before the british criminalized same sex relationship while you aware that homosexuality existed in many countries across africa and been in for example homosexuality was considered a rite of passage among boys in some kenyan cultures same sex relations were given marriage basis complete with dowry payment in some buntu cultures a woman can marry another woman if she's barren and unable to bear children for her husband these are some of the examples of practices that existed prior to european

and arab intrusion and then we were colonized in our laws were written for us and some things were added into the constitution and then these new religious practices are what instilled shame and fear and to be honest homophobia simply exists because homosexuality is hyper sexualized which means same sexes look everything like sex and nothing like love so based off of this alone it's clear to see that the fear of homosexuality is actually manmade most fear is manmade and passed down through radical teaching as a good thing about fear is that we can learn it by facing it there's nothing wrong with 2 people loving each other as long as they're not harming themselves or other people my advice to you is be kind and gentle with yourself and try to find spaces where people are going to accept you for exactly who you are like here i hope i was able to answer your question and i know that you're going to be great from me kaz so much. thank you for the insight and if you have any questions folks have write
