of that is really sad, isn't it? that young girl has helped to stop by the tragedies of conflict, mainly because 2 colonial era languages, english and french, have been weaponized by political authorities to divide communions. let's find out how people in boy come to feed about this situation in our streets, debate. the hello welcome to 77 percent. my name is move on, so for now your presently in the beautiful city of boy a come to ruin and for coming run is known as the country. we 2 official languages that is french and english. 4 country read over $200.00 plus at me. the language is this somehow it doesn't seem right that some people are we are here to find out why all like to start with. you very start younger. should we say this is a chris, a blessing for nation building?

what is in is more of an advantage more of a blessing that it is been done on we've done during the mitchell or the approach that the youth's really being thrilled into aspects of buying while using nixie to be more of a cuz then a blessing um sally, yes it yeah, you may need to you on your advocate deal by everything that you've seen. does it sync with you? well, you'll see that we go to the uh, the friends site. we have some difficulties given the queen to us when we want to push, choose some setting things as documentation. and also when you want to buy some business items on most of our papers, work being done in french and you give some difficulties for english speaking people to be trusted. i really get to it. i like to talk to my bystanders here. yes, the french is nice, but what i'm trying to is what we're trying to see yet in come the room is the facebook and people are actually killing the english speaking people. yeah,

i get to people killing those because each time you measure each day you'll see it minutes around. you don't catch on the sunday. if you speak english, if you speak english or whatever, there's a one to always see them is with that i visual. that's all we know about seats, you go to your own. do you go to a new a posse, a document? you do that? you love your head. there's nothing you do. so you write that walk in your english domain and write down the list, need to any news. i want to quickly talk to pin boy pain. you are the activities on you are strong on the from believe the of the quality you call yourself the voice of the voiceless. honestly when i your friends, i don't get along. wish. when i a fresh look on this, my minus run that general side be, do i new bill? i'm sure you know. so, i mean, yeah, that's what comes to my mind. french yet. it's not just the language you're presented system. i don't have a problem with what i mean. what on 2 languages is beneficial to us that ends with the language becomes is to for segregation. that's where it is appropriate. and i

think that's what we're facing before. i feel about this question to you. oh, how do you it has an awfully quiet as a social worker. is these the reality in your work space like the lung, which is the uniform social cause we want the people from different language backgrounds and then you fight you. you discover that is difficult to communicate. if you do not understand and speak their language, you will find yourself in that situation where you have to so many documents are the embassy and the way you get to that. you own the wherever you're going to you you, you speak to someone. um you, you're trying to get description of how you can reach or get to the embassy and then to tell you that i'm going to come from us because you de la, it kind of make you feel like, oh, so do you think? well, as in thing is just on one side now you went into the goals, mean you worked with all of these meanings does. would you say for section on a 100 that's all i mean is, does the president himself is bored by is both english and french. thank you very much for that question. but before you proceed, 1st of all,

one to slightly disagree with my brought up in board. okay. is that something that when you think about french, he's thinking about genocide. i wanted to ask same way, because about english. do you don't think i've always lived for it or i think i've already but go see people you anything about the buckles, you will, you know, we should be very of get to the end of it was a little phone, huge submit efforts to one that's done french, why? because this it was a what we find out. what saves you have less. i opened the easiest if you can speak french does it to. so am i brought up in boy, if i also think about english, i think about is live, treat. now it's up to you, been, you had him a way, he was the 1st i was talking you and nodding your head. let me let me so on. saw the french, the french learned english us in this i city with a mutual infringe as a way to survive. why we always have to be in a position where was to use french as a password to survive in this country. that's my problem. and it's a blessing for the nation,

but it either the nationals or the citizens have made it occurs to them. yes. but that's come around, people in general, do not have any problem mixing themselves coming to get out so. so quotes already in the markets or when they meet themselves and decide it is about the institutions . why do i have to use the institutions, those who are in the system? ok. the party in power on those? well, i pointed out the videos being is that do not care about the order along which the, the keep the site or the cuts. the give you a site into screws, they'll give you the site and the markets on big great the cycle because my playstation of the minority to group of people whose language you suppose of the claim to be the superior language in the world. but when he comes to the account of it is the inferior language in the country. this is where the problem is coming from. you know, so the political setup is the problem. we've talked about inclusion. how about
