carnes the only. thing you do to ensure the frame is naturalised and explore. to soon to bring to comics on the from the boards to $215.00. 14 all before your discovery. expedition boy. this is deputy is africa coming up in the next 15 minutes troubled water is ethiopia is building what will be africa's biggest hydro electric dad that's egypt awardees the project will threaten its water supply. the congolese warlord that has been handed the international criminal court's highest of a jail sentence has justice finally been served. and they defeated criminalising shin but what is l g q community saying is the fight against

discrimination continues. hello i'm perceived. as africa it's good to have you along there is a breakthrough in a feud that has been intensifying between egypt ethiopia and so done the dispute is around a giant hydro electric dab not ethiopia is building on the nile river close to the border with sudan as you well see on our map now egypt gets most off its water supply from the nile it's warning that its share of the water will be reduced when a few of his starts to fill the massive debt now discussions between the countries broke down earlier this year and egypt's president. us president donald trump to mediate delegations from egypt if you know it's in washington they also met with trump they say it's

a january 15th target for resolving the issues. but even if they come to agreement egypt still faces broader water problems that have left its farm is struggling. it's as if someone has turned off the tap water from the river nile used to feel abandoned canal irrigating the farmland here in north in egypt now the canal has dried up forcing the whole book to have been then half of its plot but there is very little water from the nile sometimes as a bit more in winter mainly because the land doesn't need so much water then but in summer we don't get any water egypt's government wants its farmers to irrigate more efficiently and to plan seeds that require less water it's also trying to recycle water but the measures simply aren't enough and throughout egypt the drastic rise in temperatures and the increase in the intensity of climate

events such as heat waves increases the amount of water that crops use so the amount of water that used to be enough for a certain part of land 20 or 30 years ago is not enough today we need more water. now ethiopia is building a giant done up stream on the nile many fear egypt's creeping war to crises could get worse each new britain is in stem he said to become africa's largest hydroelectric power plant once there is a war starts to feel it deep sheen officials worry their water levels will fall even more. it's about things that may have been murdered much more than 90 percent of egypt's water depends on oil water outside our borders. such projects like dams which are being established in the source countries without consultation with the countries that the nile pool is in to represent

a problem. even small changes to the knowledge the water flows will have a big think if the night of water drops like i said before and he took percent drop of water pipes 1000000 people. the more impoverished it got the goodies the farmers i think that the fact that most egypt is still pure are continuing the negotiations over the water and hope to reach an agreement early next year. now the international criminal court has sentenced former. bosco and doug band to 30 years in prison for war crimes and crimes against humanity nicknamed the terminator duggan that was a rebel military commander in an ethnic conflict in the mineral rich region of congo between 20022003 crimes include murder rape and sexual slavery the i.c.c.

found. in july the sentence is the highest if apos by the court he has a month to appeal my guest today is nick in kinshasa he is the d r c s country director for the open society initiative in southern africa it's a foundation working for justice peace and democratic governance welcome to africa next so a 30 year prison sentence for bosco done god has justice been served. thank you so much and thank you for having me all 1st of all it's important to say that your sentence. i think is a sign of this era condition of fairness myth of crime committed never less you know no sentence. for to satisfy or victim because we are in front of a very high criminal. activities committed by the individual injury

but still this is a good points for victims a good. reason you know. in the direction of justice nic what is the legacy. i think the 1st thing under represents. the did more than a decade of highly criminal activities not only in history but also involved. it is recognized that thousands of people lost their lives during that period in this area between 2002012 in addition to just cases of murdering people of murdering of people there is a lot of cases of addiction or it's our money cheats in indonesia as in the army and. the longest is also a young girl who would suffer

a former aide from both clinton and us people so it's. a situation of you know high. consequence of this criminal activity the trauma to his marrying him along and beyond their existing also indirect victim families members member of communities so this you know what was going to and then you know rip present for this victim now. that he has been sentenced most of the you know all i can be there is a satisfaction section that finally the guy has been prosecuted and sentences the world the thing that we all can take back of course is the duration of this whole process. has been wrong for many of you change some of them dies during the

time of you know the prosecution some have seen the situation being war than it was before. they will. there is a sense of satisfaction in longer you know the boat that finally. sent and come out ok need the country director for the open society emissions has been set in africa thank you thank you so much. now some african countries some of the walls strictest laws governing homosexuality same sex relationships are considered taboo and gay sex is a crime in more than 30 countries on the continent now one of the is seen as a beacon of hope by the lesbian gay bisexual trance and community in june the high court there struck down laws making homosexuality illegal. activists might have won

the fight against criminalize ation now they're fighting to end discrimination. l g b t q activists gather for a meeting in the middle of a shopping center in. many countries there's been nothing unusual about this but in voice one are members of this community had to fight long and hard to make this possible. on such meetings as we are present and the only reality is that people need to accept it so we have to build the case in changing the hearts and minds of people we have to build the case and ensuring that this visibility and that these voices and places. she is broke out in the courtroom 5 months ago when the court announced a ruling that decriminalizes same sex relationships the old law was a relic of the colonial era and the great britain. but the countries attorney general soon filed an appeal and many wondered of this came as an order from the

president. but members of the ruling party disagree. i desired i respect that it is right some right it would use the professor of the mind you have you also might not but i respect everybody's preferences so i don't see any challenge coming from government as far as like i hear opinions concerned but it's longstanding social attitudes and not the laws but it was a greater challenge for what's one us l.g.b. t.q. because it's a phobia is widespread i haven't. everyone here has experienced discrimination and that's one of the things the activists have come to talk about maybe this is not who patronize them and. we don't want to have good is like we are doing something. where the expletive is moved towards and given them so that's the problem i think the press isn't realizing that some of the injustices that ocurred actually wrong and shouldn't be happening and that we should have voice about it and i think

what's really unfortunate is that we have normalized injustices we have normalised getting fired from work we have normalised getting raped by those people who actually trust us and i think for me that is an injustice. that's something the activists are determined to tackle along with every day discrimination. a lot of religious institutions are at the forefront in speaking out against the l g b t community here in botswana they say it is an african and it does not comply with their religious beliefs but they are also some church leaders who are taking a different steps. reverend has often publicly defended ports while as q. community despite criticism from within his own church objects to the way church leaders incite hatred of minorities he recently led a funeral service for a deceased gay man after another pastor refused to get involved we have to respect

the one another in the lives of their resilience of the sense of inclusion a little anything thing we have to fight and have to make a noise to be here than here lovely because people have to say and do you know the community they will talk about in the theater but when it comes to same sex marriage. that's when people they start to say what does the bible say yes people do that doesn't change will do their does not commit adultery they don't talk about it only when is it comes to the gay community or the lesbian community that. and the other activists carrying on their struggle for equality they refused to be intimidated is walking on an online platform called awakening where the community can share stories from their daily lives and try to diminish prejudice and society . and that is if. as always you. facebook

today will leave you with picture so that it is read people. nationwide. welcome to the here or do these. things to talk about the. group. so you. can get. the. innovation in that equation.
