kamani is in lagos, to talk to victims and authorities about the aftermath of the n south protest. in kenya, we meet in line skita conquering the streets of nairobi. and in my city, we explore the hats beats all that the public of the congo graphic. let's start off in nigeria. i'm sure you remember the special anti robbery squad 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. 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 at a leki toll gate. from the ne,

it was with 22020 niger and police literally gone down. young protest is 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 were turned 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 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 unit grew into in notorious for popular for

a stuart in an abusing young nigerian. my 8th, the online anger against science had gone so much that is built into the st. nationwide. illegal protesters mounted roadblocks and shut down traffic. thousands got it. lucky toll gate in middle 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 they do have fewer raises to extort on the 11th. as the process gain momentum, the nigeria police finally scrapped on this fisher robberies court of denied europe police, otherwise known the size. i 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 before better governor play animal. and it will be there on monday, the 19th legos gum, nobody will new form, introduce your panel to look into saws abuses, but the protest continues still and safe for some cases of police crackdowns, there were laws lead fiscal, although criminal elements has taught 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, removing ccb cameras installed in the area. and that as evening fell, the street lights wouldn't come on leaving the place completely dark at around 4 pm grove, no show lou imposed a curfew. tried to instill order, but many poor testers at the toll gate remained there. then at around 7 mental,

the nigerian army rolling on several vans and thought to the own demonstrators who could not talk to eye witnesses told me they counted several bodies that night taken away by the army. but he wasn't over as one of the killers travelled. angry mob stood through the streets, looking 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 a police violence that denies the killings of october, 20th survivors, the fiddle. keep looking for justice each of the beginning, because i need to fight a fight for my kids, because i need to be an engineer. and it's not just him minion. adrian's, once a better idea 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 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 could t, 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 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 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 ed 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 in bloodshed? i think one of the selling points i'll call it out of the answers. protest was that there was no coordinated 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 they protest, testified that they were given 500 nero or so you could easily by street power. yeah. by anyone. ok. 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 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 your bad boy. oh boy, i'm no one out there. but when a hardy to that are people in utah and julia will godaddy left top, 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 know composition, notting since they want to the pioneer. i want every to you does not, not upon our chart on my church. the blood p. s. m are from the back yet. so i know the kennel big things that dinner as typical in the political help fracture. on my segment 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 him that's police officers are angry because

of answers. we knew that the youth got started the zone process when at rollins we acknowledged that so it will be the process we are term hijacked by some hoodlums from colonels or i think you should use the right. i think. okay, the right word. the process, whenever jack, nobody i just to protect the protests was attacked. so who attacked these brutus? the process was at sacked using government owned 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 there, i am his claim. i am not suggesting i am saying you're saying it on the day on the 9th of the leki master car, we were able to get about 21. people with the same shapes of and the same shift of cutlass like this, mash, etc,

the same. they had the same tags and eats. so it was like they were given to them. so we got about 20 to one of these people. i still have a, i mean must do 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 arm on. i'm will look at the answers protest, but everybody turns a blind eye to the fact that many police sessions were attacked. many police sessions were burned down. i don't know if you, if you are way back, many police officers were killed when police officers will be had they do this and many and many police officers where, where are roasted, i'm eating. these are facts. and i will tell you that when this process started, i would check what they were fighting for. men of us were happy because our welfare was part of it so, 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 are 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 era the every day yesterday, the voice there week of affirms room hoodlums. 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 and again. broad noted moody. i will know that by dad to can do sincerely speaking. we know that our web, our government are crazy, so we still need to be crazy. so we need to be good by bring that also luck. also do the necessity being good. now a butare cod brought you all those things is not by shout is not by okay, look at it. yeah. right. porch car we got just is it do or what new detroit? okay. jail. let's hear for lee 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 the toner was one of louis irvine, 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 voter turnout in other because if you could have a vote on all the opportunities of woodson would change with the lessons that are coming in less than a year. yeah. and i want to come back to you of his own day. and because what can we do so that the next time young nigerian 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 attractive. okay. at sac. okay. 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 process is going to happen again. but we hope we have lens. we hope that it will become floating next time. okay, sarah, i want to hear from you solutions going forward because like i said, inevitable protests will happen. yeah. every single person in danger, once a better night, 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 or what their grievances, ah, and how to meet them in the middle. okay. why would it 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 a ah, 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 posits of change. guardian, rob, michaela is agrees with me, just like a listen to his song. hear us out. oh, yes, we only demanding for ya to here with. stop the intimate base you know, need to south because we only demanding for ya to deal with

when the country is ours. yes. be only demanding for ya to help us out. lead mystery in what was said about stop the implementation. no need. there was out because we only demanding for ya to help us out. you. we only demanded for yell davis. i hope, let us embassy. you please. what we're saying about stop the intimate. they said no need to tell us out because we only demanding fidelity of us out. that's right. we only demand in our lead us 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 cleaning urban spaces and showing off, let turns. check it out for yourself. getting in it'll be easy because the streets on the thank was get us. we are in

owen, by having to be, and they're always get together. most of the same with these places, like that, the con bus pulls kato, and we are getting here because it's the only place we can see that kate cluck when you own the road moga, he's escaping because you are putting on death going forward. but yeah, they getting because you create to create whatever you have in mind. if anything on both getting when you think about falling, actually for when you try to ship your polkas to something else, then you become dirty. because in your skating you don't think about anything as he does. he in the air enjoy demotion.

i'm definitely he pulls and he, bumblebee. he took getting k down because i've seen more people plan kicking. and that means more build. 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 browser bill, 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 beebe, 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 roseville. all browser us
