the country to independence. oh of i deal with what is remained of his vision. what's the status of human rights and social justice in what's called the world war? just democracy. ah, we see the ahead. it is the moment to unleash a non violent pass and re imagine that these teachings, 4 elements to gandhi's legacy store to august 6th on d. w. it's time for the 77 percent that show for africa as young majority. i'm your host, eddie mike, a junior, it's a pleasure to welcome you. as always, we have a lot in store for you. here's what's coming up in our streets debate,

edith kamani is in lagos, to talk to victims authorities about the afterlife of the end sauce. protests in kenya, we meet inline skating conquering the streets of nairobi and a my city. we explore their hats beats, all that the public of that humble rhapsody. let's start off in nigeria. i'm sure you remember the special anti robbery squad sauce was short. well, citizens accused them of police brutality. this led to the hashtag and south protest, which called for the unit to be dissolved. sauce has since been disbanded, but no police officers have been charged. then i genuine government still denies killing demo street us in league us. even do a judicial panel found otherwise. d, w reporter shallow wall reconstructs what led to the deadly standoff or the lucky

toll gate. on the night it was with 22029 june. police literally gone down, young protested what come together to form one of the biggest youth movement in the countries history. just hours before the killings, thousands had got to peacefully demonstrate a gave rise in cases of police brutality. i know that the protests were largely peaceful because i was there reported. but that evening the protest songs illegals would turn into christ for help. and the same place where people called for their rights to be upheld would be the same place. they were killed. it all started on a 3rd of october, policemen from the special anti robbery squad. you need better known as sars, allegedly killed a young man in southern delta state and took away his scar. as a video of the deadly assault leaked online, hundreds of young people took the social media event and share their own saw experiences. all of which were bad. saw initially form in 1992 to tackle armed

robbery in the country. but the units grew into in notorious for the popular for a stuart in an abusing young nigerians. my 8th, the online anger against science had gone so much that is built into the streets nationwide. illegal protesters mounted road blocks and shut down traffic. thousands got it as a licky toll gate in major highway in the area of the city. this would come to be the main demonstration point. their demands were simple, they wanted size band that officials prosecuted and for the victims to be compensated. while they were also advocated for the officials themselves, they wanted them to be mentally evaluated, and for the salaries to be increased, so that you'd have fewer raises to extort on the 11th as the process gain momentum, the nigeria police finally scrap thought decision robberies quote of denied europe police otherwise known the size by dissolved,

but people were buying it. this wasn't the 1st time the police was claiming to reform stars by then the demonstrations had become more of a movement anyways, and people were demanding not just for police reform, for better governors. he's got to play animals and it will meet. on monday, the 19th legal gum, nobody will lose international panel to look into, saw the abuses for the process continues still and think for some cases of police crackdowns they were laws lead to school. although criminal elements has started to infiltrate, as thousands of protesters got it again, a lucky target on tuesday, october 20th. they noted the things with different people told me that they saw toll gave staff. we move in ccb cameras installed in the area. and that as evening fell, the street light wouldn't come on, leaving the place completely dark at around 4 pm. glove notion will lose imposed a curfew, tried to instill order,

but many poor testers at the toll gate remained there. then at around 7 mental denija, an army rolling on several vans and thought to the own. i'm demonstrators who could talk eye witnesses told me they counted several buddies that night taken away by the army. but he wasn't over as one of the killers traveled. angry mob stood through the streets, looting shops, burning buildings, and attacking policemen. 12 people died according to amnesty international, and many more were injured. the nigerian government has set up judicial panels to look into police violence, but denies the killings of october. 20th survivors, the fellow keep looking for justice features it became because i need to fight a fight for my kids because i need to be an engineer and it's not just him 1000000. adrian's, once he better like area,

and i prepared to push for positive change before protest is one way. but in many cases, they are met with police brutality. so why on many african governments seemingly threatened by youth demonstrations, fostering debate. he then tamani met with some like terence and legacy to discuss the legacy killings and how to prevent it from ever happening again. ah, hello and welcome back to the 77 percent. this week we are in nigeria. more specifically, lagos, the city that gave us fella cookie, who, by the way, in 1977 in his title track for the album, them give us them leave tears, sorrow, and blood explained how the police officers were up a time. brutalizing, the citizens of nigeria fast forward to 2020 and his words still resonated as young people gathered to protest what they said was ill treatment by the police officers

until we're here to find out why the african government seems so threatened by protest held by the youth who better to answer this question for me than fellow nigerians. and i'm going to start out with by and so i just want you to give us an overview of what happened in 2020 because not everybody has a clear idea. so i basically begun with a lot of discontent and unhappiness and rage against the special launch robbery squad of the major on police. and youth just felt like you know what enough is enough. and like that's almost as if they were coordinated. protests were happening in major cities in the southern parts of the country, especially. okay, let's hear from suffer because i understand you are the protest as well. and obviously we wouldn't be talking about these protest if they hadn't ended in unfortunately death. so how did it come to be that something that started organically and it in bloodshed? i think one of the selling points i'll call it out of the answers. protest was that

there was no one meter leadership. people just appointed themselves to, you know, coordinate, collects and distribute resources. there was a lot of heavy pullet to size and like in the f city where some of the boys who disrupted the protest, testified that they were given 500 narrow or so you could easily by street power. yeah. by any one. okay. let me hear from matthew aka precious stone. oh, who was not only at the protest, but unfortunately actually ended up being shot. so perhaps that by telling us what took you to the protest, why did you feel that it was so important for your voice to be heard that day? many times files are stored me on it. why do you do your ladies as i'm no, i'm no you. oh boy, god oblivion and you know where you live fi or where you to enjoy your bad boy. oh boy, i'm no one of them. but when a hardy to dot are people in utah and julia will godaddy let pub, this sucks you clean or finish it is of this country. so i need to john to protect

despite the fact that the government admitted its fault and said, we shouldn't have shot you. and you were given compensation, you still don't feel safe for her. you just know composition, notting, since they wanted to partner or one every to you does not in us upon our chart on my church, the blood tears come out from the back yet. so i know the kennel paid things that dinner as typical in the political help structure on my son to rip. i'm says kid, what, what are you scared of? i'm scared all my life because they adjusted angry god meant asked the angry, bullish, just angry because we can come out, challenge them in a court of law. it was crazy. let me come to an officer who day in here because pete, he said very passionately that police officers are still angry because the youth dead to challenge the authority, they dare to stand up against you. and is this how you're feeling?

honestly. i don't agree with in that's police. officers are angry because of answers. we knew that the youth that started the zone, brutus when at valence working alleged out. so it will be the process where our turn hijacked by some hoodlums from colonel or tack. i think you should use the right, i think. okay, the right word. ok. the protest. whenever a jack, nobody i jacks the protest. the protests was attacked. so who attacked these brutus? the process was attacked using government's own properties, government's own assets. so are you suggesting, sarah, that the people, the young hoodlums, as the officer has called them here, who infiltrated the protest was sent by the government? i am his claim. i am not suggesting i am saying you're saying it on the day on the 9th of the lackey massacre, we were able to get about 21. people with the same shapes of the same ships of

cutlass like this, mash, etc. the same, they had the same tags and so it was like they were given to them. so we called about 3 to one of these people. i still have, i, i mean, most did all the videos we played at the panel. that was actually what made a panel to which their decision. we took this people to the police and guess what? we're told that they are not their problem. all right, let's come back to the office a. i think it's important that you are able to, i'm on, i'm will look at the answers protest, but everybody turns a blind eye to the fact that many police sessions we attacked many police sessions were bonds down. i don't know if you, if you're away that many police officers were killed when police officers will be had they do this and many and many police officers where, where are rusted on eating. these are facts, and i will tell you that when this process started and we checked what they were fighting for men of us were happy because our welfare was part of it so. so some was behind the scene where given them this not like go ahead,

we're going to benefit from okay. so how did it come to be that then people who armed by the government are opening fire on their own citizens who are. and i am going to ask you if, if that statement is a statement or fox, will you tell me who else has fire arms in this country? who will police? where o l. b. every day yesterday the voice there will cover firms, room hoodlums. ok. so i'm wondering from you a p t. would you ever participate in a protest again, given what happens again and again and again again, alagood noted moody, i with no doubt by dar to kindly, sincerely speaking. we know that the, our web, our government are crazy. so we do, we need to be crazy. so we need to be good by print out also look, all sure. do in this 1st c, v. good. now a butare car rule to your those things is not by shout is not by okay. look at it. yeah. right, but can we got just is it do or what knew the truth?

oh ok. jail let live really is good to hope that i mean hope is is free is good to hope that is going to be a different game. there were electrons immediately after and sauce, and between i was one of the lowest ever in the history of the country. does that surprise you though? it doesn't, it doesn't, and we have to say things the way they are right now. there is nothing to say that the voting dynamics of nigeria and tens of water, not in other because we put our vote on all the opportunities of woodson would change with the leisure that are coming in less than a year. yeah. and i want to come back to you of the whole day and because what can we do so that the next time young nigerians which will inevitably happen, come together to protest something. they're not met by bullets. well, and says was a learning process for everyone. if we know you're going to protest, we have to put certain measures in place to make sure it's not. i checked glass on, i said i checked everybody else. i can look it up. ok. so that was good. my years in place to make sure that there is no attack. and i'm going forward. like you said,

inevitably, processes going to happen again. but we hope we have lens. we hope that it will become floating next time. ok, sarah, i want to hear from you solutions going forward because like i said, inevitable protests will happen. every single person in danger, once a better name. here, the government needs to understand that you need to constantly talk to these people . you need to consulting, talk to people so that you can know what their grievances are and help them meet them in the me too. ok, why we started be q. let's conclude with you. what do you see for the future of this country? posts and saws? brutus, i think understanding that we form as youth a critical mass that can really move the needle forward. is something that we need to take very seriously. i mean, we formed like 60 percent of bacteria, the best we could do is get our pvcs more work. you put in a better change, you will see. all right, well, that's a fantastic place to wrap up this debate. the sun is going down. it's so beautiful here and actually feel really good in my heart,

which so rarely happens at the end of debates. but that's because the young people here i asked, i'll protest, threatening to governments perhaps. but what i've had to date resoundingly is that they use their no good tire. thank you for watching. ah, the you never good tire. meaning the youth will never be tied up for a longer version on this particular debates. go to are you to page to also check us out on instagram, on facebook. governments should realize that do tally t never solves anything, and it's hardly discourages young people from demanding positive change. gambia, rob, michaela is agrees with me. just like a listen to his song. hear us out. oh, yes, we only demanding for ya. thank. let us on the pal, stop the intimidation, no need that was out cause we only demanded for ya to help us out. you,

and like you oldest les, when the country is ours? yes. be only demanding for ya to help us out. let us embassy, it please. what was it about? stop the implementation. no need there was out because we only demanded for ya to help us out. you. we only demanded for ya. they were. so let us embassy. you please, what we're saying about that the intimate, they said no need the cameras out because we only demanding fidelity of us out. that's right. we only demand in our leaders to hear us out and do what is right. governments are supposed to be for us, not against us, talking about governments. let's roll into kenya and see what is catching on. inline skating is growing in the country even without government support, but as not stopping the youth from claiming urban spaces and showing of live turns . check it out for yourselves. getting in,

it'll be easy because the streets on the thank us get us. we are in constant a bunch of lead that would use us. you have to share the road with my 2 other vehicles. and this means that you know, competition over a car and a skater definitely to cali through a a yo yo b for boy on i thought you meant to open up with us get was is going to the people love it. we love it,

keeps love each box. there's no government support to me. it was silenced. give because i also love skating. and by assailing them, my o'connor walk wild them in any event they miss him was i was getting both i was taken on because i'm able to sell them lot. a lot prize. we just import them pro la near you. okay. australia. yeah. i'm sort of like a scapes distributing k gating by nature, bring together all sorts of people escaping. you don't really have that segregation. that happens maybe in either sports related to agenda. you

don't get guys having to be under owen by having to be, and they're always get together almost the same with these plays. he's like a con bus pulls, kato, and we are getting here because it's the only place we consider a kid. fuck when you own the road moga heat escaping because you are focusing on death going forward. but he said getting because you create to create whatever you have in mind. if anything on both getting is when you think about falling actually for when you try to ship your full cost to something else, then you become dirty. because when you're skating, you don't think about anything as he does he in the air enjoy demotion.

i'm definitely positive. m o b future. it's getting k down because i've seen more people plan kicking and that means more world you know, the last time i tried to skate, i fell heavily on my box. so i got nothing about respectful all you skita out there . let's hope the sports gets to supported needs to blossom. now, i'm not exactly sure how popular escaping is in congo browser veil, but one thing is for sure, the sapir culture is on a whole new level. so pers translates into the society of kiss me kiss, an elegant people. so those who identify us a purse are quite stylish for more on what to see in congo brownsville. some bebe, an artist from the city, shows us around willow family, high congolese overnights. i'm sam b. b ot is a dancer and performer. i'll show you my beautiful city beneville of welcome
