6:32 am
people i believe what they were seeing someone made up about my height and my skin color which was funny because he's a black person too so you'd expect that that would be coming from him i felt tortured and i felt really bad so take the post down and actually go to social media for about 7 months might be used as an example a bad example for you going and celebrates graduation people say it could mean to dishonor buzy he said. you know how it goes to show me i guess i didn't recover because they still think. that is awful and hate speech doesn't just lead to emotional pain it can also lead to injuries and even death like in the town adama in ethiopia says the country began its shift towards democracy if your piece has suffered a series of violent clashes between rival groups. 6 people were killed and many
6:33 am
more like him what injured in clashes across the country last october and it was a facebook post but caused the tensions to speed over. the riots began on the 23rd of october 2019 and lasted for several days and more took to the street band cars and killed several people they thought their openings into 6 people died across the country from the elderly to shop owners to young people what caused this horrific outbreak of violence allegedly it was a facebook post by opposition leader jawad mohammed the politician has a lot of support among the youth in his post he called on his supporters for help fearing that someone from a rival group was planning to attack him in response some of his followers course the war and took to the streets attacking anyone in their way the police didn't into theah not. the killings in adam
6:34 am
a were extremely horrific how do we come back to hate speech that leads to such violence how restrictive should governments be and how can we ensure we don't know what prohibiting hate speech at the same time our reporter edith kimani spoke with the victims of the riots in they feel pain capital. for them it's vital that their story. hard. the 77 percent is an added suburb of the capital of ethiopia and it's in this country that a legislation was recently passed trying to control what they're calling hate speech but how does this country and indeed africa and the rest of the world define that line between freedom of expression and harmful utterances i now want to introduce a very practical example just so that we know what we're talking about here in october of last year in this country a gentleman who's very popular politically made
6:35 am
a statement on facebook and that english eventually or at least it was characterized to have led to violence on the ground but i want to come to yes but here because you argued that what joe of the guy said didn't qualify as hate speech i don't think his speech is he's a problem. at least he supported i mean there are displacements. tensions. internet penetration into a very low. users. so i don't. all mind his speech probably. ok i'd like to ask mr work iowa because he actually lost a son together with his wife and we actually have to respect that they're both wearing black because they're still in mourning and it's very difficult for the mothers you can see but mr guy you we're hearing there that perhaps the. what
6:36 am
happened in adama was not because of hate speech and it was because of ethnic tension how does that make you feel and if it's ok and if you're comfortable can you please tell me what happened to your son for good for his son or. start with you know what do you really get a mullet. to. work talk to it. nothing i mean come on. i'm so sorry for your loss and i see that you've brought the image of your son clearly as she's saying barely an adolescent. and i know i know that this is very difficult for you so i'm really terribly sorry and thank you for speaking to us so mr well guy i'd like to ask you you know do you think that your son would have died if john had not posted on facebook. post about. facebook. that i was among.
6:37 am
the new order but are those some of the. i want to come back to you yes but because this is obviously in contradiction to what you're saying to me you're saying hate speech is a long way to finish allow me to finish my question you're saying hate speech is not a problem and yet these parents are saying had that post not been put on facebook not necessarily jowers it could be anyone else but 1st i have to say i'm very sorry for your loss but what was really what really was a cause. where was all the tensions when it was all the killings what what was really the cause for that is all of post user won't post. here is a very complicated country. for like 5060 years so a single office book will still does do this let me ask 100 where do you think the line is then between hate speech and and ethnic tension when you look at for
6:38 am
instance the information that was posted on social media it's an information you can't really see it as hate speech or being as a misinformation he just said i'm surrounded the police is here and i need hope and . naturally his supporters came but then what china speired afterwards is what could be described as hate speech which lead to loss of lives and so on and so forth het speech that brings all these problems to the country and speaking of the law because we did promise that would come back to it it's very specific saying that any post made online which lead to violence or what are considered hate speech so you've been following the conversation that we've been having and i just asked about the law do you think that if this law had been implemented then your businesses would have been saved your communities would still be solid because. your hate speech in the hallway me to. go. to the.
6:39 am
media etc. it is a grudge but not going to taco. to decide later. and not be homo to women does the turn of the good witch. disease. in a cause that i guess at the moment but i'd like to hear from better kits where is he . right in front of me. so why are young people engaged in this kind of behavior i would imagine that you know being from kenya my parents' generation and their generation didn't know any better but we know more why is it still happening . horner. politicking neutrino yet has no effect other so with.
6:40 am
i'm trying to. follow. social media's around the government to know what art who. our winter will deliver. ok and finally i want to come to the parents do you think there's a way out of this what's the solution to go. on one with us because. i want to make a little. water is a word to them 1st. yeah. your motives them called the melissa out of his own image of the lizzie load all over the. digital.
6:41 am
learning which well i think that's a good place to wrap up this debate it's one of those conversations where you peel one layer and you find 13 more i don't know how you feel about this but thank you for watching. in most cases it's the entire political atmosphere that leads to classes and even to debt this debate shows that i know satins a constant souse just one post might be the straw that breaks the camel's back so let us be aware about hate speech even in might or cases if you would like to watch a longer version of that discussion you can check out our you tube channel and if you have any comments or suggestions please do get in touch with us via facebook or

email when she ran for word councilor about my lamble from zambia decided she would rise above the hate speech how open and drove around town with megaphones publicly shaming ha but she proved the haters wrong and although she is stealing how twenty's she is now a successful politician let's meet her. is too hard to construct in santiago visiting a village the young politician received you saw recreate she currently re presents 15000 people and those she's part of a minority at the moment she's hopeful that other young women will follow in her footsteps and some want to know more for young women. so that they have more to talk about allegations as women that women maybe just ignore me perhaps the girls have a box and my dad the president. will be. you know so that the people
6:43 am
in the country accept me yeah. 1st arrived here to gain practical experience as a social worker the law courts were impressed with how she engaged with the women and children so they asked her to run in the consulate election but the old west talked against heart from the beginning the other male candidate harvest and even physically threatened her because leadership roles often passed down within the same family some felt that bloomberg was stealing something that was rightfully theirs and then they should hear the people from the other party going with their megaphone don't vote for this person sure don't vote for this foreign girl you don't even know it is coming for all she's just a small little garo and she just does it to you as a councillor should not do anything and it was terrible and they would come right there in the night with the megaphones and throw stones on the roof and. but i said
6:44 am
i'm going to win i am going to win because the women really have supported me in this is what why i'm saying that women really vote and they support because they want things to change. almost word to mug obama is situated in the room will ask it of the capitalists during her time as a counselor was able to channel extra funds into my golda to kickstart new infrastructure projects she also helped 700 schoolchildren get study loans and is firmly against child marriage unsurprisingly she's now pretty popular among her constituents round about we don't know when i feel like i reckon you still have. the hats as a lot because she knows as well and she has an open yeah our problem is he was like i'm a mock up tonight jennifer and in my room we are happy with how we work with the community
6:45 am
she is a good young lady and want to have to continue helping even old people like myself . with just 9 percent zambia is one of the worst countries when it comes to female representation in local politics although half of the population is under $35.00 it's even harder for young people only $104.00 parliamentarians 3 percent of this group lawmakers tonally canonical koku board thinks it's time that young people start making their voices heard. what we are seeing now is this age of young people trying to assume political leadership and i think that is important for africa because naturally the youths come with. a different kind of energy a different kind of innovation because you see there is this stands for sitting changes that have kept huge political powers in africa in place for a long time and that can only be change when these new blood new ideas and pushing that agenda. back in the mud go is handing out water but not everyone
6:46 am
appreciates you could get it for years politicians would give away money as a form of vote buying some of the locals were hoping for more but. to mistake that the next generation of leaders want to simply be judged by the size of their wallets. from one straw woman to another nickel and my taste is the creator of the t.v. show and african city based in accra ghana it tackles the topic of sexuality from the perspective of the mortal african woman it is inspired by the popular series sex and the city with over 4500000 view us. is no longer one of ghana's best kept secret we managed to get a special behind the scenes look of the production get ready for some amazing fashion and lots of. stress for his all time out of fashion pussy
6:47 am
and a sent off across the series creator and head cost are searching for the latest in gandhi and fashion their web and t.v. series an african city is about to start production on season 3 and as always there's no shortage of bold and beautiful outfits why are beautiful things important for an african city because whenever i see anything in the media about africa it's about ugly things sour it was time to fight that it was time to fight that story and fashion was one way to do that. if i'm here for you over here oh. wow launched in 2014 it focuses on 5 glamorous women turn to a craft to live in opera. been up against the kill to world of love
6:48 am
life and careers in spike heels and fabulous clothes different discussions about sex have become the show's trademark. who plays the no nonsense business in one scene up this topic is what do you. what the audience gets from that is that throughout the continent there are women who are living these really strong. and discuss things sexuality as much as it's still sort of powered in a bit of darkness around is it happened and i hope that the show sort of brings that to the forefront and allows young women to touch base with that part of themselves and not see it as some kind of. deviance. an african city was born here a motto feel studio the series was inspired by a strong female lead cartoonist in the new york be a serious sex in the city a matter if you wanted to create something similar for

a gun in context like the challenges of important a vibrator. small problem with this box and if you finally. had her vibrator you know the. americans. they used to massage their backs. this is my favorite episode but what i love. i really thought that i kept hearing that as a conservative. but it was after that episode that i feel like everyone just love with. and that's when i really realize that people want to something new and fresh and real and different to be such surely on screen it's nothing new but exploring it from a black female perspective is still rarely done. big fans of the series for this reason they are playing the dating game in a cry for them it's
6:50 am
a relief to see women on screen struggling with the same issues ask themselves in africa a man i told you i think the fact that you have to wear you know it's like a war that you have to win the more games and strategy that you take to get there more like your manhood if i define very this is a problem for women in society you know you know like touching on the issues but now comes with just new sex or dating. i think that was very important like they have to they have to be cost in time the female caucus into unimpressive number of men a few it's always on the lookout for new male talent. every. right to tell me more about. the men in the series come and go by the women always stay. i love the women i love the 5 women. i love their friendship
6:51 am
i love what they stand for it's powerful women but i love their sex lives i mean to me that they're my girlfriends who were just chatting about dating cetera so i love their sex lives i want to see more about their sex lives for all those people that we hate that we only talk about their sex lives. we will continue to do so because that's what the show is some critics off tone to the serious for a lot serious lifestyle the house a little and come on get a reality for most people while if you are. she shows the shore also offers a welcome break from the stereotypes of poverty in africa and of course it's glamorous but talk on is to continue to entertain. and adventurous. wow i hope you join me in checking out the actual being in the dating game often looks fine and adventurous and it can be but sometimes i need by to guest
