discrimination continues. hello i'm pursued come to 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 we need 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 ethiopia and sudan met 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 flow abandoned canal irrigating the farmland here in north in egypt now the canal has dried up forcing. book to abandon half of his plot but there is very little water from the nihil sometimes has 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 plot of land 20 or 30 years ago is not enough today we need more water. now ethiopia is building a giant down a stream on the nile many fear egypt creeping war to crises could get worse each new renewed since them he said to become africa's largest hydroelectric power plant once there is a war starts to feel it dipshit officials worry their water levels will fall even more. it's about the same thing we're been mortared much more than 90 percent of egypt's water depends on water outside our borders. such projects like dams which are being established in the source countries without consultation with the countries that the nile was in to represent

a problem. even small changes to the water flows will have a big effect if the night of water drops like i said before any 2 percent drop of water that's 1000000 people. the more impoverished it cut the goodies the farmers i think that will be the fact that most egypt is still p r r continued the negotiations over the water and hope to reach an agreement early next year. now the international criminal court has sentenced former congolese warlord. 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 these crimes include murder rape and sexual slavery the

i.c.c. found. in july the sentence is the highest of a pos 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 governments welcome to the african mix so a 30 year prison sentence for bosco. has justice been served. thank you so much and thank you for having me all 1st a holistic order to say that sentence. i think is a sign of this era condition of seriousness of crime committed nevertheless you know no sentence. for to satisfy our victim because we are in front of a very high criminal you know activity is 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 osseous crime i think the 1st thing under represents. 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 must 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 skis among these kids also young girl both suffer

a former aide from both clinton and us people so it's. a situation of you know high. consequence of this criminal activity too much is marrying him wrong weeks and beyond are expecting also indirect convicting families members member of communities so did this you know what was going to and you know rip present for this victim now when. that has been sentenced most of them you know all i copy there is a satisfaction sometimes a distraction that finally the guy has been prosecuted and sentences the world the thing that we all can take. is the duration of this whole process. has been wrong for many victims normally dies during the time of you know the

prosecution some have seen the situation being wolf than it was before. the deal. there is a sense of satisfaction in longer you know the boat that finally. fenton come out ok nick in there they did the country director for the open society initiative in southern africa thank you thank you so much. now some african countries have 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 sation 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. in many countries there's been nothing unusual about this but in votes one a members of this community had to fight long and hard to make this possible. on such moves and 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 of ensuring that this visibility and that this was the places. she is broke out in a 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 country's 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 desert i respect that it is right some right everybody is the professor of the mind you have you also might not but i respect everybody's pretenses so i don't see any challenge coming from government as far as what i hear a plane is concerned about its longstanding social attitudes and not the laws but it was a greater challenge for us l.g.b. t.q. good deeds. 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 police like we did something. well where the expletives 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. reverends tabel mom 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 deceased gay men after another pastor refused to get involved we have to respect the sad respect one another in the loss of their resilience of

the sense of inclusion little of anything think 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 all talk about in the theater but when it comes to same sex marriage . intervals that's when people start to say what does the bible say yes people do adultery in change well good do they does not commit adultery they don't talk about it only when is good comes to the gay community or the lesbian community that. when you hear people seeing what is going see what good is taking to was the number one known to me so got shot and the other activists carrying on their struggle for equality they refused to be intimidated got shot is walking on an online platform called query awakening where the bt to community can share stories from their daily lives and try to diminish prejudice and what's what not so society. and that is a canal from day devaney's africa as always you can catch all our stories on
