i am eddie my junior and you are welcome to the program the 1st hearing has taken place in the lawsuit brought by a ugandan student who is suing president was 74 blocking him on twitter the student . discovered he had been blogged here a fret to the head of state edict on twitter he is unable to view all tweets on the presidents account in his lawsuits the students argues that obstructing his access to the government on twitter violates his right to participate in public affairs. ugandan government spokesman. who was also named in the last you said that free speech should involve civility. the minimum. to the president himself as a person. from early in member to the millions of grammys who

he believes there is and i think that even if it doesn't encourage insulated behavior well joining me now is the ugandan man the syrian president has 74 blocking him on twitter. thanks a lot for your time now why exactly do you have a problem with being blocked by with 70 on twitter. oh thank you so much for. this culture. of being if we don't like the president. he blocked you on twitter last. for just because i don't know the reasons why the head of the fountain on the commander in chief was source that in my opinion is 100 years. for him to make.

so i read the court justice because i need to give me a fair hearing now and i'm always wondering what the day may be that really the president. maybe we ought to answer is. ok now some may argue why make a big deal out of it as you were just blocked on twitter what's the big deal. yes actually done that was based in the us you know that we've lost you know if it connection with our leaders. home. aero social media has made it you know global village because we can't easily r.f.q. the leaders so the easiest way for me to say this information from my lead this was a social media and that's basically twitter so when the president blocks and moves that he's denying the. city formation and frankly to my for the most each and also

. to see which is unconstitutional and how i want to look at just so the ugandan government is arguing that you can still access information online so the fact that you've been blocked doesn't really matter what you say to that i want to say that there is based on the u.s. court and with real time information because if you look at other platforms like facebook the president does not force instant updates us on twitter so i cannot get is the information for much it brings also that. what does the of to. you join the same platform so as they hear all you know about on the or that he has to teach us equally as ugandans because we tell him that you know it's about you know who done it and has more than less it was. my rights then it's violating my

constitutional rights and that just won't happen i think to court and to justice ok fast sharing has happened what exactly do you hope to achieve with your lawsuit. basically looked at about 45 because i may just. see that justice is laid yes it's not and if hearing was supposed to just get to last year. and the judge you know him for the hearing and now i was lucky that he was able to come and. listen to my cares but of course i want to 1st of all get a bigger reason from court. still in the entire country that's the. prison because they also want that gives an order to the president of the

additionally the court also food is permanent injunction to present so that doesn't locally future ok and also i wonder. because in the future media we have to know that other leaders accountable. to make our leaders accountable. to hillary ugandan must a student at harvard university. german president frank. last 3 days on a state visit in kenya that he visited there kakuma refugee complicated in kenya hot dry northwest getting enough to eat to their house always been tough and the influx of refugees has made it even more difficult. arrival in kakuma kenya's 2nd biggest refugee settlement it was the last stop in kenya for german president franklin before heading to sudan the arid region in the far north of kenya hosts

over 190000 refugees mainly from south sudan but also from somalia ethiopia and brandy time i appraise kenyans and the local to kind of people for their work hosting refugees the art and craft. v.k. in the money kenya is handling the situation deserves respect funding and. me because specially when you consider that the local people here in northern kenya are themselves to make ends meet finding in the wake of the london do the peleliu own views and it's no longer given what they've suffered long periods of drought over the past years commons which is reduced the crops need to be good to take it off the water supply discuss it here food is a major challenge shared by both a kind of communities and the refugees. within the camp pilot projects like a school garden i suppose to help in the other. the idea is to teach students about

farming in the harsh climate as well as about the nutritional values of different crops. if you pull the selected schools train and when the. kids will be good to speak you can use the school level and listen to this you know . how sort of. the school also has an ngo funded school lunch program. for many of the $1000.00 plus students here that's their main meal of the day. refugees at kakuma say the aid simply isn't enough. rita from south sudan receives 11000 kenyan shillings or 100 euros a month for herself and her 8 children. they get 11200. so when you go for sure people be sure you find a circle for me when i'm. looking point 850. before.

$1800.00 and something. so wherever we are at the end of the day when all this i think. you and your have small things we have no business of my own you are selecting business that is going to bite me a lot. to make matters worse that the markets here is more expensive than the national average because it's so scarce the kenyan government u.n.h.c.r. and the world food program are training various projects to help the refugees to earn an income and become less reliant on 8 so far the success is limited. it is clear that this region is still struggling to provide basic food security and that both germany and the international community still have a role to play here. the west african country of togo is generally conservative and is one of the low was wronged in the world when it comes to gender equality and women's rights bartz is email is breaking down the barriers
