wilks' way to be built, well try these eaves, dominate the global market one day. here i dw with him to provide you with unbiased inflammation for 4 months. so share your thoughts in the comments below the. so this is the, the news advocates coming up on the program, kenya is protest as false. presidents were you and we were to, into a major, climbed down to balls to pressure from the streets and withdraws a controversial bill. the proposed punitive taxes on the nation. but with many dead will this be enough to appease the young disillusion protest as i can see. and therefore, i would not sign the 2024 finance bill and it should subsequently be withdrawn. also coming up on the show.

they survived the west of prostitutes against the done. now refugees in chad. we have the painstaking efforts of survivors trying to start over draft in court for the may be an l. g. b to q community as a law banning fed between man is lifted and will this guarantee safety and freedoms for the career community? the immediate kimani, welcome to the program. we begin in kenya, where the country is. president william router has announced the withdrawal of a controversial finance view of the sustained protest against the legislation. now police open fire demonstrates us will storms upon them. it's building on bunch government offices. at least 22 people died in the process. the most the young for testers, what we with the proposed tax hikes of correspondence, phoenix, maureen, got reports from a ruby. the tendency was

a morning to for the individual event. kenya's parliamentarians have come to be their last respect. travelers goes on and on the head. another protest, the next most i die that we get from a my bone, allegedly 5 by the police. the streets of the day will be nobody named images. on the breathing of i indicated preparatory after weeks of not sleep peaceful protest, flashes are upset between police and dallas. people demanding that the government trumps from isolated has to be the community we've got on the to the young people are tired. they've seen new time has come this bad governance and our

tax is being used wastefully. they take our taxes, but we can't see where the money goes up. a ton is yes and, and often with yeah, we are experiencing, telling us we're having confidence in terms of peoples and everything. and we can schedule what destructive rob to mean agenda is that they've been, it's rudolph. and then we'll talk about that. but listen, i think that governments, but for now, executives that speed as m p 's law passing amended by sort of that being, protest does have broken into they came in. they said parts of the building on fire, forcing design for safety valve for testers. have been able to bring down funding meant have you brought it? they've got to parliament and then that way we defend that's because miss and some of the got to lose their lives. there are conflicting reports about the exact number of deaths. hundreds of young people haven't ingest, public in the like,

this is a big change in kenya. that demonstrations have traditionally been led by political parties. like i'm on the line to about the process for social media. young people like him being a driving force in this process. it saves energy numbers. nobody paid us these low lead, other nobody, the faithful, anything not, not even the water to come outside. yeah. outside of the law and free will this protest as soon as the national anthem seems to see the i'm not keeping it as to having reclaimed from national narrative, brutal in his government, the drone of the b. that's you exclaimed down and the huge risk, it's unclear that's enough to win over this new political force that can and president who had a defied the protest as quote to reject the bill back, peddled on his position, saying he now wants to work together with your citizens listening

to the people who have said loudly that they want nothing to do with these finance be 2024. i can seat and therefore i would not sign the trinity trinity for finance bill and it should subsequently be withdrawn. and we can bring in jose and coming towards executive director of how to africa a kenya of civil society organization. he joins us now from ne ruby. so it was saying rudo has said, the fine us who is history. this means the protest as have one haven't a not quite sure the participants have one because we've lost lives. of hundreds actually uh, injured. uh, it wasn't really about winning, but more about, you know, standing up for just just finding out for the country,

standing up for the resources of this mission. so while it's a big step forward, but the struggle continues, president, for to didn't say around that together with parliament tried to use the military to suppress the practice. and then we saw the judiciary restrict to that. what does this mean full kind of institutions and this democracy? i think 1st of all, it shows that as a country we have our priorities long. clearly you can be deploying the military, and then at the same time, during the same week, you are deploying police officers. to another country, i mean why deployed the military and send our police officers to another country? it doesn't make sense. but it also means that the judiciary, the institutions mandated by the constitution to deliver on the monday it's actually steadfast. they have us to try me with the people of canyon and they have defended the constitution at no time. should the executive deployed the military without the problem its approval. and the judiciary announced itself on that

position. and district who is that, you know, there is independence. the rest is not yet at the ideal situation, but definitely we must acknowledge and appreciate the positive steps that we are making as a country in moving forward. and speaking of the plenty service at the start of the week, you tried to speak to the police about the team for testers. and then you will help yourself know, is this just one example of how the government can whip when i is the police service? i guess, democratic processes as indeed i think we have made huge sites in ensuring independence of our various institutions in the country. but unfortunately, the police tend to be main. uh, you know, a tori, so used by the executive. the police have refused to change the police to remain largely a political, the tools to be used and misuse by politicians. and we feel that, you know,

more effort to, particularly in the dialogue, but that hopefully will be done in an open and transparent my not the police have to be put in check. we have very clear recording on the inspector general authorities to resign from his position. he has shown that he's the inefficient incompetent in dealing with these kinds of issues in kenya. and uh, you know, moving forward, uh, the spotlight is the police. so you want the inspector general and the leadership of the police to resign, but the young protest does want the president to go. so he met one of the demands. but how safe is he? um. well as being for just to say the bone of contention was the finance be and you know that the detox is that what we'll do is just crazy. um, yes, we're clearly man the president. easy. know what situation bunch he has ever been. they the jury is the i was on, she's public, he's a, he's dealership,

and we still that the time has come for us to ask questions. i think 5 years, he's the very far ahead. but all the same, it's kenya until we decide the fate of the president. because you know, we're all governed by the constitution. at no time have we, you know, asked for anything and respects of the constitution patients. we recognize that she's in office as an elective. eda but as canyons i've spoken loudly, you know, the next few days will be crucial in determining the wasteful and close incoming executive director of how to africa. thank you for your time. thank you very much. now for more than a yeah, the sudanese army has been fighting the paramilitary rapids support forces or recess of the control of the country. the conflict has left thousands dead and displaced more than 10000000. many fled to neighboring chad rights groups save our

assessment. allied arab munitions have committed widespread killings, rates and other trust the 2 possibly amounting to a general site in west of for that targeting people, one african ethnicity in particular. the muscle needs the majority in the 16th of l janina in west of for and to the our assess, brutally attacked citizens last year. many said across the board to chad and a student living in audrey, or correspondents, mario will a travel of that and mid survivors of sexual violence on sunday. my can remember she has missed and kam stecky's case, pete. every time she thought she found safety, another attack happened. it was always the same perpetrators and their allies. she says the full much engine treatment is now known as rapid support forces or as of today and in june 2023. they attacked the area of age. and nina, where she left i didn't was, i never got the 5th time. i saw how to get people to the 1st day when they attacked

the killed many and ago, and they fell down right in front of us and then we'll go for them that they felt like it would never end. we'll never get, i'm looking at. you can imagine that we've got a lima whose name was changed to protect her. she was living with a family at the side for the space people. when she heard the militants arrived from the motor bikes laughing to this town, mean my room. 4 of them charging me with guns, windshields minus the others left the room. the one who stayed raped me. i fucked him a lot. i didn't want him to raped me, but i was so scared of his gun. then i only felt pain in the ceiling. when it was over, she ran away, stepping over 20 bodies lying on the road. then she stopped counting. after crossing the border to tad, lima felt safe, but couldn't find any medical help. 3 days later, the pain subsided. the memory store keep her from sleeping. she says the hour of

iris f melissa, talk to her because she belongs to the muscle, lead an african in mississippi. we spoke to more than a 1000 survivors of killings and sexual violence. all of them told us the attack us was specifically targeting muscle, each aiming to ethnic kitchens, african ethnic groups from the for his mouth. and he ask, what's your try? i didn't send him all his muscle lead. i said, i'm for tried, this is the thing you said. if your muscle needs listed, your throat depends about next. some value that they said there won't be any land belonging to myself anymore. this is there a they don't one, i muscle it to own land. the survive of stories are backed up by human rights watch . it is documented numerous atrocities and want of a possible genocide against the muscle need people invoice the 4 hours of did not respond to our requests for comment however,

whose name we've also changed. safety survived a similar attack. she says and ours f i to enter to home on june 8th, 2023. and let us to law. he loaded his gun to shoot my mom, and so he's charging me. i'm not sure. the bulletin i said shooting me instead of the 2 said i won't kill you. i killed your brothers outside looking for them. he went in short to a 20 year old cousin. then she heard him mother and i go to the good and he beat me to hold for when i go with the whip, the sticker on the wall to contain. i have seen this morning on the line you can see then threw me on the bed and started to write me. she bled heavily. uh, days later she was able to find a hospital where she needed stitches. she still sometimes feels pain when she walks . these women now and safety and shot at many here live in deplorable conditions

in the camps like and medical support, food, water, and basic shelter of the un as cold as the largest displacement crisis in the world . with more than 10000000 people forced to see that homes almost 600000. so denise refugees now living and neighboring cat at 8 organization say massive funding shortages mean they are unable to cope with their needs and become a group of refugee women have created a safe space with survivors can talk openly and without stigma about what happened to them. and the hopes for the future and have signal communication. and my hope is to complete my studies and economics one stuff and i hope to work in a bank as an accountant or as a business administrator. oh great. that it's, i'm not going to look for the kind of the situation improves. i want to go to

university, i'm advice, but i want to learn to be a doctor. they say all they want is to get their lives back. they're hoping for peace. so they can finally move on so how widespread is sexual violence in so done? that's the question i put to primula patton, the united nations special representative on sexual violence in conflict. it is, is always very hard to get up to a data on an active battlefield and sexual guidance remains the dramatic or the under reported crime due to many factors including shame and stigma, but feel reprisal and lack of access to the services all reporting. and it is nearly impossible in the context of the current will still it is to get up to a data because you want i'm the majority of the international after. so i've had to leave the country and the work of civil society is also hampered by run punch and

security and switch. but we do have some indications of the gravity and the brutality of sexual violence. the annual report of the secular general for 2023 documented cases of wave dang, rape, attempted rape, abduction and trafficking perpetrated against 98 women. aging goes one man and one boy and in a single attack. as many as 20 women were reported the way, there's also information more recently that we have received about the abduction of over 160 women and girls held in captivity, including reports of these women being great and kept in slavery like conditions when we have we, boards of women and girls, objected in cartoon state who would take her to other parts of doubt for allegedly even change in the back of trucks and all those, you know, those, all these cases are as of elements. oh, i see data made a show where implicated,

right? so because the be because they have your vin for the rest of the because i've introduced the rest of i just want to jump in there because i know that you didn't speak to the leadership of a acknowledged, i told the rates that are happening there. and if so, do they plan to do anything about these atrocities? i was seems to start with the conflict in april 2023. i gave you both bodies as c, f. a. notice that on the 1st of august of 2023, i had a meeting with general abdur rahim de got the deputy commander of the of the recess and i raise we see him all these. we both repos that i had a of the time reports of sexual violence and called to mind off will reports of at increasing the number of abducted women goes reports about the targeting of medical infrastructure and personal giving support to victims of sexual violence. and also who would have had to do something about the existence of slave markets in

industrial. we women and goes being sold, including into sexual slavery or higher for ransom. and i urge team to issue the full no undertaking of the full amount that you need actual community condemning sexual violence and committing to effective measures to prevent of the address such violations. including fluid time bound into my different blog, as well as combined order as a degree as your daughter when's with sexual buttons as part of upholding military disappearing? he acknowledged, i must see the gravity of sexual bought into the context of conflict. he agreed to issue both, so you need to communicate and the combined to what as declaring 0 darwin's was sexual guidance and you did so after, so shortly after, after the meeting. but unfortunately, i must say that's up to now i do not see any discernible behavioral change on the ground because we boil continue to pull in a, by the atrocities being perpetrated by our stuff that is of video to admit issue.

and that is why in the context of my upcoming visit to try them both to the next month. i intend to re engage with the leadership of the r a. so in order to bring to their attention, all these reports, which i have mentioned, but also to remind them of their commitments and it'll be jason's under international. all right, well i thank you so much for your time coming up, attend the, the united visual special representative on sexual violence and conflict. thank you . or the now hi caught in that may be a, has struck down those criminalizing sexual acts between men. sex between women is not illegal in the media. the laws they said back to the 19 twenty's when i'm maybe a was administered by south africa. and it's really the country's court said, banning same sex acts was unconstitutional. the ruling is being celebrated by

him if he is eligible community for them. the decision marxist off to the new era the case was brought to my local act, to base for you to those up with the support of an n g o in london. from me, personality don't kick me in sudden my life when i did that, we didn't know never be a climb again for the past 50 years. so as the game and we've always been swimming now, some deadlines certainly come today. they're caught this declared jesus unconstitutionality . below criminalizing states between men dated back to the colonial era. it was really enforced puts, it meant many game, and looked instead of the rest. it's also fused discrimination of the algebra community. i need all the beacon of hope because we are living in the climate, they'll see a from state sanctioned homophobia and hate speech. the judgement may represent a victory for gaming and the allies, but some fit could also cause a backlash moment because already pushing for legislation,

outgoing gay and lesbian marriage and large segments of never be in society, remain deeply conservative thing. a 3 she is in the use of both sides and it comes in all for 3. she, i need to go into these. even so despite being is because we have to think about, if you don't fall to the, is always going to have faith between the 2 does to comes fortunately, the back to this, the judges said, even if a majority of number being held such views, this would not justify making sex between men a crime are. we spoke to the active list. you saw him that report for the del sol and i asked him if the overturning of the law would be enough to end discrimination and violence against the algae mitigation community in the media. i only see this a lot that was supposed to have gone 50 years ago. we still have discrimination in employment and no express protection for sexual orientation employment

law while we still have a domestic violence a that it excludes things that's couples as a domestic relationship. and we have a whole lot of law assuming that i know protections. what has happened uh with the removal of this law from the legal system is, is really just uh, the criminalizing. what we need now is protect the loss of employment in have, in a sense of us including marriage equality, right? so as i mentioned, the career community is to, doesn't enjoy some rights and protections. and we know that there may be a still criminalizes support, promotion or even celebration of same sex unions. do you have any plans to challenge some of these laws as well? a little bit of correction. um, it is not criminal as what is

a beautiful body and where we do need international support at the moment. is that the punishment after our last? yeah. when the don't the side rights we have provided to for the inputting us of number of medians. many in the country restrictions like germany, uh, or south africa uh, able to get it on the side of it. uh uh, punishment is proposing to know that is uh, that is fair to both houses of parliament and he's now sitting with a president that point of law, same sex marriage. but we're also creating a life, some sort of nice, some of the same sex marriages in the media at the moment. uh, unfortunately is not a crime, but we do need international support and press up to ensure that that slow does not come into effect. so for, i don't know, maybe it has now joined several countries in particularly south africa where we

have people how successfully need to get to for their rights. do you think that this successful struggle in the media will inspire perhaps of the african countries on the continent or at least a home? uh and we, if you do read that maybe of this sort of a challenge, it is really happening that uh, for example, uh the taxes on the pin out of sort that human rights of entity into my note additions and cannot be left to the populace or the other majority, but it is the duty of the courts to ensure that big human rights of the weakest and the most vulnerable, you know, communities are protected by the quotes s at our constitution. and so we, we spend strongly on constitutional provisions. we hope that either

a luca jurisdictions but it's somebody you've got and guy and i did. yeah. i but they used to be the uh and, and various ending in the launch. it also costs uh to cut it more humane, more just um and uh, a great outcomes for the $10.00 inches in, in, in those countries mentioned before for the dallas of joining us for soccer point in the maybe a thank you so much for your time. thank you. well that's it for now. be sure to check out other stories on d, w dot com, forward slash africa or on social media. thank you for watching the
