kamani is in lagos, to talk to victims authorities about the aftermath of the end. soft protests. in kenya, we meet in line skita conquering the streets of nairobi. and in my city, we explore their hats beats, all the republic of the congo. rather let's start off in nigeria. i'm sure you remember the special anti robbery squat sauce for short. well, citizens accused them of police brutality. this led to the hashtag and south protest, which called for the unit to be dissolved. south 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. the lackey toll gate. from the night

there was a 22020 niger, and police literally gone down. young protested, what come together to form one of the biggest youth movement in the country is 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 health 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 looked online. hundreds of young people took to social media to event and share their own, saw the experiences, all of which were bad, saw initially form in 1992 to tackle armed robbery in the country. well,

the unit grew into a notorious for the popular for a stuart in and abusing young nigerians. my 8th, the online anger against science had gone so much that is built into the st. nationwide. illegal protesters mounted road blocks and shut down traffic. thousands got it at the licky toll gate a major highway in which area of the city this would come to be the main demonstration point. their demand was simple, they wanted size band, bad officials prosecuted and for the victims to be compensated. well, 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 nigerian police finally scrap thought, disposition robberies, court of denied europe police otherwise known the size. yeah, but deserved,

but people were buying it. this was 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 a police reform for better governance. point any more. and it will be very light on monday, the 19th legos gum, nobody will loose on the traditional panel to look into sort of uses. but the process continues still and save for some cases of police crackdowns. there were laws lead fiscal, although criminal elements has started to infiltrate. as thousands of protesters got it again, lucky to get on tuesday, october 20th. they noted the things with different people told me that they saw toll gave staff. we move in cctv 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 menal, the nigerian army rolled in on several vans and thought it to him at the own. i'm demonstrated. eye witnesses told me, we counted several bodies that night taken away by the army, but he wasn't over as one of the killers traveled. angry mob through the streets, looting shops, burning buildings and talking, 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 federal keep looking for justice features it became because i need to fight. it would fight for my kids because i need to be an engineer. and it's not just him. meaning, adrian's, once he baton i area and 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 nigerians and legos 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 to how the police officers were at that 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 do 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 answer robbery squad of the measure. and 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 that in bloodshed, i think one of the selling points alcala, that of the answers protest was that there was no one meter leadership. people just

appointed themselves to, you know, coordinate, collect, 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 an error or so you could easily by street power . yeah. by anyone. ok. let me hear from matthew a k, a precious stone, or 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 fast asked, told me on it. why do you do your l i d 's as i'm no i'm no you. oh, boy, god oblivion and you know where you live fi or where you to enjoy you bought board or you shout boy, i'm no one of them. but when a hardy to dot ha, people in utah in junior will godaddy left pub, this sucks to clean offense. it is of this country. so i need to john to protect

despite the fact that the government admitted its fault and said, we should have shot you. and you were given compensation, you still don't feel safe for her. you just no compensation, notting since they want to partner. i want every to you does not, not upon our chart on my church, the blood tears come out from the back yet. so i know cannot beg things that dinner as typical in the political help structure on my so i want to rip on this kid what, what are you scared of? i'm scared all my life because they adjusted angry. god meant as the angry bullish just angry because we can't come out, challenge them in a court of law. it was so 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 him that's police officers are angry because of answers. we knew that the youth started the zone protest when at valence. we are college that so lately the process, we're our term hijacked by some hoodlums from kernels attack. i think you should use the right, i think. okay, the right word. okay. the protest. whenever a jack, nobody i jacked to protest, the protests was attacked. so who attacked these brutus? the process was at sacked 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 master car, we were able to get about 21. people with the same shapes of and the same ships of

what last like this much, etc. the same, they had the same tags and so it was like they were given to them. so we got about 3 to one of these people. i still have, i, i mean, most did all the videos were played at the panel. that was actually what made panel to which their decision, which so 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. armand, 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 aware that many police officers were killed when police officers will be heard, they do this and many and many police officers where, where are rusted and 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 the yesterday the voice there will cover firms, room hoodlums. ok. so i'm wondering from you p t, would you ever participate in a protest again, given what happens again and again and again again again, good. notice notice i will note as by dad to can breathe, sincerely speaking, we know that the, our web, our comments are crazy. so we do, we need to be crazy. so we need to be crazy by doing that. also. look also do dinner 1st. he's being good. now, a butare cod rule to you all those things. he's not by shouting, he's got by book you look at it. yeah. right porch car we got just is it do or ward

knew the truth. 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 are electrons immediately after and sauce and baton. i was one of louis 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 daddy voting dynamics of nigeria in terms of water, not in other because we put our vote on or 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 lady julia's, 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 chucked glosson. i said i checked everybody else. i can look it up. ok. so that was a good my years in place to make sure that there is no attack and going forward.

like you said, inevitably process is going to happen again. but we hope we have lens. we hope that it will become blow him extra. okay, 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 how to meet them in the me too. ok, why we started b q less. 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 i 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 the youth, they know good tire. thank you for watching a . the you never good tire, meaning the youth will never be tied up for a longer version of this particular debates. go to are you to page 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. gumby unwrapped michaela is agrees with me. just like a listen to his song. hear us out. oh yes, the only demanding for y'all to here. let us embassy it please. what to say the pal, stop the intimate basin. no need to south because we only demanding for ya to help us out. you. we only demanding for you. let us in please,

stuff. i get my stuff back in like the oldest les when the country use ours. yes, we only demanding for ya to help us out. let us know. mystery in what was said about stop the implementation. no need to tear us out because we only demanding for ya to help us out. yeah, we only demanded. oh yeah. let us demonstrate you, please, what we're saying about stop the internet. they said no need the cameras out because we only demanding fidelity here was 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 yourself. skipping in it'll be easy because the streets on the same because we are in constant

guys having to be under owen by having to be and they're always get together. most of 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 can see dot kid fuck when you own the road. moreover, he'd skating because you are focusing on death going forward. but yeah, you do, they getting because you create to create whatever you have in mind. if anything on both kicking is when you think about falling actually fall. when you try to shift, you are focused to something else. then you become very, you know, because when you're skating, you don't think about anything as he does. he in the air enjoy demotion.

i'm definitely positive. i'm obey. he talks getting k down because i've seen more people lang, kicking and at new mobile you know, the last time i tried to skate, i fell heavily on my back. so i got nothing about respectful all you skita out there. let's hope the sport gets the supported needs to blossom. now, i'm not exactly sure how popular escaping is in congo bras available. one thing is for sure, the south per culture is on a whole new level. so pers translates into the sites. you kissed me kiss, an elegant people, so those who identify us a purse are quite stylish for more on what to see and congo brownsville. some bb and artists from the city shows us around willow family, high congolese overnights. i'm sam, baby ot is dancer and performer. i'll show you my beautiful city,
