the find out about bailey story. info, migraines, reliable news for migrant. wherever they may be. the over the past months we've had all eyes on euclid protests in kenya and seeing youth raising their voices across the continent. and today we wanted to meet some of these people and discuss the issues you're addressing. welcome to the 77 percent. i'm your host, okay to english and oh, here's what we've got. first, an exclusive interview with k as president william till pro fee. why active us like keeping up the pressure on 10 years of the night and will need to stay for growth challenging called for those to me. fuel cap

but full thought here in germany, africa was the spotlight of the book assess or citizen festival held by germany's president every year. the event even came with a special guest canyon president, william, brutal, my colleague, 5 to eli come law. she's got an exclusive interview with a kenyan president diving into the court issues the kenyans want to know. but 1st we give you a glimpse of the behind the scenes for to over to you. the good afternoon, mister president. thank you so much for being here. and thank you very much. let's

go back to the bi electronic exchange here. these exchanges what dividends have they used that for the continents so far, especially in specific, you can speak to kenya. and one of them is deputy men who just signed disagreement with look with and look sorry at 250000 job opportunities for young people from k lunch or the cdns program. that island is possible responding to some of the issues that have been raised about jobs. the reason why i'm in germany is because of the same reasons around jobs for our young people. the same way we have a housing program transported through jobs for our young people, the same reason why we are doing the digital system because we just want to be dropped because ultimately go back to the product that you have before we talk about it of jobs things like that, they put a swap out of paternity. that's why i'm saying, but they also do not want to tax hikes and which also bring me back to the question of that, how the influx suspended. that's what you said,

the alternative. but then you made a promise, we knew apology on extra these young people that you would ensure that it doesn't happen again, and these families will be given an explanation. absolutely. so the president taking responsibility for what happened to the absolutely, my government has dipped for what to say. we have them to support the families that lost their loved ones. we're working on them. they kind of think to make sure that that happens this 2 months on the 2 months own back. you know, we just, i just assemble the new government. they are working on the nuts and bolts to make sure that we get that there. i am responding to the issues raised to multiple fraternities, and that is why i'm telling you, we're definitely going to before i came to this city, up to 100000 jump program that will support young people that are coming from butler to behave. or even as we respond to climate action, glen climate change, that is the essence of why we have a strained economy. we have a state economy because of how much it,

switching from drought to flags and using our resources instead of developing our social effect. i, instead of being audit, we are now focused on managing the effects of blemishes. and that is the reason why it has to be always a balance between what you're doing for the great amount and what you're doing till monday. the crisis. i'm glad that you said you are walking a pause to make sure that these people have given an explanation for the debts as well. and i'm sure you also know that the people who want you to terminate your social contract, the people who went out to the street, standing root homeless school, no longer appreciate them. now what's from presidents? what is the insurance to these people? shortens these, the, they, they would see as the, not you, they, they, they're all out of the programs that are out there and put your information. much of the protest was fueled by stick news and

majority of this information and mr. information. all these, these ducks about dogs, all these, these talks about the slot about that. and then one of their, you know, ultimately when people realize that what was being used to drive the negativity around or depending on speed, why actually issues that, why not in the independent, was that why you said that the criminals and people involved intrigues? and of course, there was a criminal as involved, i mean, the people who bundle in parliament, the people who buttoned down people's businesses. why would you call those people but the price to protect us and how we, how does a beautiful brought this up button down a building? we didn't say that the actions that we've seen on ground aggravated the situation in a way that the young people have to also retire to stand background. do you agree that the people who bundle in building sacramento? i do not condone violence, mr. president, but no suspects, i know i've been behind the combined entities here and you also get you out of the national security kind of you minute hold the guns. you have to pull the guns. let

me tell you that the police have a responsibility to protect both of the protest us on innocent citizens and property and life. and that's what they must do, which is a delicate balance. but it must be that we hope to see a positive outlook for the african continues to frances, and thank you very much so much for your time. thank you. take so you can watch that full interview on the dw and use youtube channel. trust me, it is worth it. we have seen many african leaders promised a lot during election, but who reminds them of those promises? well, a kenyan lawyer has taken up the task. using social media is educating canyon's on their rights. and the thing is from the government, even highlighting pharmacists made by ben, vice president bhutto in 2017. in 6 months time, the federal income marine in westborough court, which is historic, wouldn't be complete in 6 months time. this did you income at any, which is this clinic? will it be complete?

this is social media activist and lawyer laura capacity between the 9 year old has made it his business to follow up on government funded projects to check their progress. and in some cases, if they have been started, a hold of this order has been launched by the president william router twice this order supposed to cost 4400000000, i believe, is his civic duty to keep the mazda seen for him. so he visits the projects and then posts. his findings on social media is become so popular that kingdoms right to came, telling him to visit projects in the area. and you're going to need money for his trouble. what he finds stalled on income big projects like this bridge with doubts, and we'd talked as i've already been paid money and there's no value for that to money. he does say that being lost through corruption or there's absolutely no problem with that. i started, it started, he does store it installed, it is completed with black money ships or investment of public funds. sue to the

top and holding political style spaces from carlos. laura and his crew of women's here lawyer and civil engineers have made the point of mimicking the politicians while informing the public about the issues of ton. daniels do not vote or, or have not what did in previous elections, on the basis of issues they've been working on issues of this bus. i'm comfortable, my tribe. this one comes from my club and that has given the west quality of lead us available for our stuff that assess will start projects of opinions took to the streets in june, his hope to keep the momentum going wall calling them government to work for people . absolutely, this is a great reminder that a civic duty doesn't end at the ballot box. even off the elections, we must stay engaged and hold. oh indeed is accountable for the promises they make . access to information is a powerful tool for change. and then this week,

straight to be also held at the book assess in berlin. my colleague lou show dives deep with 3 young advocates, exploring how more we can unite to build a better more inclusive society. the today is the citizens festival. the part of the country for this year is kenya. and that is why the model of this year is festivities is the swahili words mod. yeah. which means together. and i am here with young africans. we're going to talk about how we can create a good communication environment so that young africans can feel like be a part of shaping best society and shaping democracies. all right, we're going to jump right into it. mercy, i want to start with you because you are from kenya and we all witnessed the protest. the us led protests that were happening and can you, what's the hold on say, social media, social activism accidentally walks. it's very important to let people know out there that it really walks you as walked past few months. it was,

but it's important that the young people have the right information understand. so they need to stay informed with accurate information information that is very objective. so you're saying that they're not only about going out there and raising your voice, but also having the accurate information just to say tony, i want to bring you into the conversation. what do you say about what she just told us? i mean, i agree with her that it's not just important to show up in your numbers, but to show up with the rights information. because sometimes it's um, information is what's as powerful knowing the rights we use to tackle the issues. because the problem i can speak from a guy in perspective is that we have lots of partisan politics. so it's very difficult to know what's actually accurate. and what's his propaganda or the information from the of us that trying to sign is the image of this. it's in governments, so it's importance to actually gets credible that brought these all credible information sources back and tell you that this is why we approach us then these

are the reasons you mentioned in the credible sources. that what would be an example from ghana? i get most of my information from twitter and this accounts called fucked tech guy, which basically what most of the people i for the most of the sweets i see is if there's a, there's a, there's an election in gunning in december. so when there's a campaign event or a riley or there's a press briefing, basically people just see when this person said this is a true and nothing and be mentioned that account and see if these fact take the fact ticket for us. and then we have a website, so you can go in under the dc claims by system. and so a person and then to give a video to it as is actually true or false with the dates of the box. it's all the documents from maybe the parliament of the reports that speaks about the issue. then they tell you that based on this and that's, it is actually the fault. and sometimes that the false and use is based on the truth. so it can be very easy to, to the spin, it's in a positive way. so i put the lie. the idea of having those back to the car is

really, really help is really important. ok, i want to turn to use and now you are from is in bubble. you also study journalism . you're a tech on top in nor, and we saw that the purpose in kenya, they really have some ripple effects in other countries. in uganda. in nigeria, young people taking to the streets to protest different issues. it was all quiet in zimbabwe yet, so it's definitely not all rosy. as you say historically, there's been a history of suppression of the voices of the people when they try to speak out to the authorities. and so young people, most of the times, you afraid to actually go to different platforms because these also start valence. and we've seen used to have some people also being jailed. however young people have also come up with like that independent media sources. because you, we also have a huge role for one state controlled media source for a very long time. but young people have come up with those platforms such as bless

to 63 tides on twitter, and young people who would actually like, participate more in these debates through these independent sources. ok, i want to stay on the issue of social media mercy. of course you've raised that issue already before, but what i'm seeing, for example in kenya is that lots of politicians, even presidential to who was here in berlin, and he's very active on social media. i can see him on take talk like his dad's big is visiting schools he's attending rallies is that's the only possibility of politicians to reach the young king. and of course, it's the easiest way to have not because most of the young people are all in social media. are they other ways they need to be a $150.00 for a spark? they're in the village. and that's what i'm really saying by the young people shouldn't come out and be part of civic education, for example. so big hundreds found people out that still in the village, just because not everyone assistance on social media. but everyone has access to maybe to data and all of that. so i feel like patient find ways in which become involved the public. ok, but i want to stay on the issue of social media because

a country like kenya is known for it's with a worry isn't i find it really interesting that we keep calling a twitter, although it's excellent. but you have all these with a worries, and i know that lots of campaigns really have happened online and can yeah. so like where is the value of that kind of social media activism? because the keyboard was yes. mm hm. in my country, i think i like that right now. people haven't been come out and then oh, going outside that really going down to face of the issues. we've had many issues. you know, i don't, the country sheets i'll say like we've had that we send but fi and one of the schools. and we've had this keyboard right. as now, stepping out of the social media network and going down bad to actually do what people fucked to checking. he mentioned bad tony, your inputs please. and lots of the social activism on demand. so it's a, for instance, is inspired by mederien. so it's all because we see the techniques be used, the kind of strategy they use, wendy, are organizing. and

a very recently from the canyon process, we've seen examples of how young people have mobilize, how they've used it, tuesday to d p t to spread more information they've built like cost on the investments way. if you need information about this specific thing, you can just ask the top to bottom and it generates it for you. so it's good to keep it's, it's views very isolated when you look at these incidents. but because the internet to this, that's an expensive space. you get the content from all of other content from all over the world. so it's important to see these as lending opportunities. and so when you see something happen in some way, you don't just think, oh, out of 10 of us. oh cool. you can now think, oh can that's less oh cool. maybe we can do this in gonna okay. so young people, if they wants to, you know, create a better tomorrow for themselves. what about them getting involved in politics very quickly. one thing like, as we mentioned before, due to now participating, something in kenya wasn't on the van people actually, they were diverse kinds of professionals lead totally feeding into that

demonstration. so they were dropped off coming out, doing as out there, so that in case of anything valid, is it it to give you good advice? i think it's important to see that all the you to be in every professional, everything globally is inside, relate to that and it was listening very intently. okay. you get the final words and what do you have to say? yeah. so i definitely agree with what they have to say. it's not about only getting into politics, but also from whatever profession that you are in to participate in the, in the debates in the, and also voice out the consent and keep the lead as a comfortable. so it doesn't necessarily have to be on the young people who are involved or members will put them in because we do have young and bobbins as well. well, i like empties and they are also doing their best to work with the community. then listen to the challenges that come in to have. so i'm going to take that as the final word my panel if you have been wonderful. thank you so much vanilla. thank you, tony. thank you. mercy. and thank you to a wonderful audience for being with us and for participating in this very lively

debate about how young africans can use communication and other tools to shape the democracies into shape of their societies. this was the 3 debate from berlin, germany. thank you. so much for being part of the conversation is that the fate does not, and that will soon have a longer version available for you on now youtube channel, from hard politics. we now want to go over to the community level coming together as a community makes us stronger, but having a community is even more important when you need a safe space because of your sexual orientation. them's nancy k quiet and janice, but it's all 3 young south africans just that. wow. this quiet is raising its voice for change as it not only serves as a home for talented musicians, but also provides a safe space and family for its members. why? because this is the am lonzey gay quiet in your hands, big being

a musician of being an artist is a fullness, like susan only is about the content sizing people it's always about change. making to play is are a popular part of south african culture. but why have church has proven to be challenging spaces for these things? the sense that the only piece, of course that, that we have is within themselves that they create community because most churches are not very welcome to us as a clear community. that's why i say never consented to ukiah, is that, that people like me, that people that will connect to that school connect me, but the in the same space and we share this common sense. who is the, the old enough to music in that space made me feel like i was at home. but how do some of it's other members to see that stand you have made me realize that i can be myself without even thinking what are the people. i'm going to say about mind

securely to myself or how i it's initiating the blessing to be part of the quiet 3 phase settings is we phase judgment and being part of the choir. we built to this save space the as the leader of the implants, the gay choir, c a, grew up in quite too much. a township east of john is big. we musicians, phones save us. but what we'll see is families responds to his queer identity. i'm grateful for my family. they never made me feel inferior. they were only is very welcoming and accepting of who i was just spiteful and africa's constitutional protection of sexual orientation. hate crimes remain a harsh reality. how did the tragic murder of police being football

a u. d. c. milan in 2008 a fix? yeah. as it came and was a career pressed in that story touched me during a triggered lot of emotions inside of me and gave me a purpose of the in a way that this struggle continues to 5. can see there's something magical about hearing people sing straight from the heart. absolutely. beautiful. to back in high school. i was part of the choir and while that was lovely there's still one thing i wish i got a chance to do skating. i actually fell off with state board in my friends living room once in our next report, we're taking you to the vibrant streets of these above out with a if you can skate to girls submitting themselves in the skating community. seem to skilled people when you're socials, or perhaps even on the streets of others there. but if you can go k to dressed in

the traditional year behind chemist at least girls are on a mission to change the image. it's amazingly native those we're how the show, we have a lot of cultures, norms and everything. but it's not that much inviting regarding to this kind of research to support that's 26. so see that china is one of the pony is a female teaching in cute. she's been on the board for 9 years and she remembers a time when she was the only god of boxes in me and my cousins like we used to some marcia of water bosses and i'm trying to sand on it and then like we push each other and then we still do that, so i like that. do i saw a square board like the boys were like security and was fun in 2019 so. so, you know, found a pin golf k to but that's what was the easy part convincing of the golf to join. huh. was a bigger task when i asked the girls like whenever i asked,

so you want to try this or blah, blah. there's kind of willie, but whenever the boys are like trying to approach them with the escape or they kinda not. okay. so i was like maybe if i started teaching one of the girls, they be so happy. so whenever i go there, like i give them my school board, then i start bringing additional skateboards with me. gradually, a small group of like minded golf running around top and they started meeting up once a week. i get them on a social media. sometimes i watch them there and i was interesting to of the state one day i so voice getting around and i want to join them and ask them about skating. and they told me there is a session for girls to leave on saturday. we have them 20 actually members and 45000 photos and instagram young girls. kate have have made a name for themselves. and while the sports guide has most of their confidence,

the sport itself has also taught them a few last semester. to learn skating, you have to sell so many times said you have to not give up on skating. so he called me fish and see 'cause he does for us to see now teaching has become more than just how passion. it's become a mission to build a community and create opportunities, specifically for the women and go as well as society and their families might have been skeptical. the 12th, so seem to believe that it just means a few trained places like ha, 20 to wait. we are us of like a daughter of a very rebellious i sisters. so i certainly, we should have to be a little bit of, you know, really very valid to do something crisis into something for others. so you know what our parents is gonna say something everybody's going to say something until

they so successful. so we should do it anyways. and while they see open gulf gate does our new on the scene see, it definitely wants to watch out for to and with that it's time to wrap up this week. so remember, we have more great stories on social media, so be sure to follow us fair. since i cannot get enough of the if you can skate the girls, we have put together a compilation of females status from across the continent. one of them is given the long boards that thanks chris felt well champion chose for me. and until next time, the news
