because he's not the fox on the most calling fictionally transmitted infection. how do you have all experienced hate speech either out on line or offline sadly many of us have given these the people insulting or threatening us a strange as it's still extremely uncomfortable and hot for. some of you in uganda shared your experiences with us let's hear what you had to say. brother he was at the school. someone. a friend. and we were going through a lot as a family could. see someone made up about my height and my skin color which is funny because he's a black person too so you'd expect that becoming from him i felt tortured and i
12:32 pm
felt. so right to take the post down and actually go to social media for about 7 months might be quite used as an example a bad example for you going until the brits get your issue and people started coming to the center abusing. it goes to show me i guess i didn't you cover because i took. that. and hate speech doesn't just lead to emotional pain it can also lead to angel rees and even death like in the town or adama in ethiopia seems the country began its shift towards democracy if you're p. has suffered a series of violent clashes between rival groups say 6 people were killed and many more like him what injured in clashes across the country last october and it was a facebook post that caused the tensions to speak. their riots began on the
12:33 pm
23rd $21000.00 and lasted for several. more took to the streets bond and killed several people they thought their opening into 60 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. jawad mohammed the politician has a lot of support among the more youth in his posting called on his supporters for help fearing that someone from a rival group was learning 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 interfere. in the killings in adam a we're all very asli extremely horrific how do we call but hate speech that leads to such violence how restrictive should governments be and how can we ensure
12:34 pm
freedom of speech while prohibiting hate speech at the same time our reporter edith kimani spoke with the victims of the riots in they see open capital. for them it's vital that their stories are being hard. the 77 percent is in ads by 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 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 guys said didn't qualify as hate
12:35 pm
speech i don't think it speech is he's a problem. at least you supported i mean there are displacements. there are. clashes here and. there is internet penetration very low. users like. white. his speech was all in his speech you know the problem you need to be ok i'd like to ask mr what guy you know 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 walker you we're hearing there that perhaps the things that happened in a drama were 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 her before. you know.
12:36 pm
not everything to. talk to it. after i know. that. 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. the new order but are those. i want to come back to you yes because this is
12:37 pm
obviously in contradiction to what you're saying to me you're saying hate speech is allow me 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 very sorry for your loss but what was really what really was of course. where was all the tissues when i was older. what what was really the cause for that is all a post user won't post which is a very complicated country. for like 5060 years so a single of this 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 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
12:38 pm
. 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 are 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. media etc. it is a good bet not going to taco. ladies to decide later look i got

12:41 pm
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 clashes and even to death this debate shows that i know satins the constancy is just one post might be the straw that breaks the camel's back so let us be aware about hate speech even in minor 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 cancel about my lamble from zambia decided she would rise above the hate speech how open and drove around tower with megaphones publicly

12:43 pm
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 of the past down within the same family some felt that 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 megaphones in throw stones on the roof and. but i said i'm going to win i am going to win because the women really have supported me in this
12:44 pm
is what why i am saying that women really vote and they support because they want things to change the world to my goal is situated in the rural ask it's of the capitalist circa during her time as a counsellor 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 how questi too and it's well that we don't know in our country that by the kinds to have an awesome though she helps as a lot because she knows as well and she has an open yeah there are problems in your life like i'm a mock up tonight and jennifer and i my. we are happy with how we work with the community she is a good young lady and want to have to continue helping even old people like myself . with just mind percent zambia is one of the worst countries when it comes to
12:45 pm
female representation in local politics although half of the population is under $55.00 it's even harder for young people only $104.00 parliamentarians 3 percent of this group lawmakers tonally canonical thinks it's time that young people start making their voices heard. what we are seeing now is a stage 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 the resistance for setting changes that have kept huge political powers in africa in place for a long time and that can only be changed when there's new blood new ideas and pushing that agenda. back in the mongo bill is handing out what kind of status but not everyone appreciates the guest for years politicians would give away money as a form of vote buying some of the locals were hoping for more but it's up to
12:46 pm
mistake that the next generation of leaders want to simply be judged by the size of their watch. from one straw woman to another nickel on my taste is the creator of the t.v. show and african city based in a crab ghana it tackles the topic of sexuality from the perspective of the morton african woman it is inspired by the popular series sex and the city with over 4500000 view us and africa is no longer one of gondolas 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 pretty and they sent off across the series creator and head cost are searching for the
12:47 pm
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 story because whenever i see anything in the media about africa it's about ugly things. it was time to fight back it was time to fight back story and fashion was one way to do that i'm. 'd here for you obviously. for. launch in 2014 it focuses on 5 glamorous women love returned to a craft a living off. enough the gates to kill to love life and careers in spiky heels and fabulous clothes different discussions about sex have become the show's trademark for mommy jay who plays the no nonsense business
12:48 pm
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 360 lives and discuss things sexuality as much as it's still sort of towered in a bit of darkness around it is that 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 that's a motto feel studio to see resources but a strong female lead in the new york be a series 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. hardest small problem with this box and is it finally
12:49 pm
she had her vibrator you know the. the americans say. they use it to massage their backs. this is my favorite episode but what i love is i really thought that i kept hearing that isis crimea's were break and serve in em. but it was after that episode that i feel like everyone just from love with was shot. and that's when i really realized that people want to something new and fresh and real and different because sexuality on screen is nothing new but exploring it from a black female perspective is still really done. to michelle big fans of the series for this reason they are playing the dating game in a cry for them it's a relief to see women on screen struggling with the same issues ask themselves in africa i mean i've told you that sex is back on the quest but you have to do it you
12:50 pm
know if i go war that you have to win more games and strategy that you take to get there more like your manhood if i define brains this is a problem for women in society you know like touching on any issues but problems with just new fact or dating. i think that was very important to have to be had to be cast in time the female caucus into unimpressive number of men so if you it's always on the lookout for new male talent. ok right now 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 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
12:51 pm
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 to into the sea was for a lot of serious lifestyle the house a little in common good and reality for most people well if you want to. yeah she says the sure 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 debate in adventurous. wow i hope it join me in checking out. being in the dating game often looks fine and adventurous and it can be but sometimes i need by to guest comes along which can win the fun. i had over it well it is the most common sexually transmitted infection so how can you prevent it and what should you do if you test
12:52 pm
positive our love and relationship experts kaz has the. hello there and welcome to the spread a safe space where we get to discuss everything sex and relationships our question today comes trait in nairobi and it goes hey there kaz i'm linda a 32 year old living in nairobi i hope you can help a sista out i have had some wonderful new sexual experiences recently and i love that i've been able to express myself there's just one small problem i may have had one unsafe situation and i recently got diagnosed with h.p.v. i have so many questions right now the 1st being is there a cure or a vaccine for it what can i do to contain it and live a happy healthy life yes i have already spoken to my doctor but i really just wanted to hear from you as well hope that's ok linda thank you so much for trusting
12:53 pm
me with this very personal information i do not take any of it for granted 1st of all chances are that the information your doctor is giving you is likely the correct information and i wouldn't want to counter that as i myself am not in the medical profession but i will reiterate some of the information just in case you needed to hear it in a more palatable way let's begin by defining h.p.v. h b. avi also known as human papilloma virus is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections that can be contracted through sexual contact and can affect your genitals mouth or throat there are over 100 different strains of h.p.v. in some cases the virus can disappear on its own within 2 years but if it doesn't you may be at risk of developing genital warts or cancers including cervical cancer throat cancer or councils of the genitals so go get checked yes there is a vaccine it's recommended for all genders to get vaccinated at age 11 through 15
12:54 pm
prior to sexual activity though the vaccine is available for people up to the age of 45 the vaccine is relatively safe and even the report of side effects are very rare lastly yes you can live a happy and healthy life with h.p.v. as long as you continue to use beriah such as condoms with your partners maintain a healthy diet and see your doctor on a regular basis i hope this is covered everything don't forget to drop us an email if you have any questions till next time from me cows good bye. well that's it from us it is connect with us write us an e-mail at 77 at d w dot com if you have any feedback or even story ideas this show was all about love and hate but remember there is interesting love and kindness of a hate. as there are so full of power we thought we'd get the boys to play us out this is f. k.
