when i was son, was neglected in 911 happened the the i am theater to move uh in the hot of night roll big can yeah. in our bids, to unravel the things about on the, around the continent of africa. today we focus on a critical issue, critical and important. this state does of what is sometimes described as a try bull nose, i choose not to use the word drive, but for additional african law, visa v. the laws that were imposed on african peoples by the

colonized depending on who colonize who, but before we get into that space, it is important to appreciate that aspect and community as odd, sophisticated laws that talk on different aspects of their lives. the man who as document that is better than anybody else is check on 30 off of sunday god. in many of his books he has been able to demonstrate that offer kind of society is, was sophisticated. so that if you went to the bar up, people is the money they have their own role. in fact, it is now upset that the monday shot the shooting, the re no soon as the last update, the money the advert. ready quad you,

if i don't know, which was to be the uh, to the universal declaration of human rights. you know, the, what the system of government is that what if you look at the right does such as she knew i ship it when he drops about these people for a minute. the end is friction of books, things fall apart. it talks about laws that exist. there was organized them prize. if you look at the yellow but people's, they are on the point gun. you look at the window guitar, i in uganda, the back gun daniel gun and there's a new kingdom. and many of the communities in the continent of africa, they are organized those yeah. in ken. yeah. if you look at the walk that was done by jermel kinyata on facing mount, kara. yeah. is what a den, what's the value of quail of kenya? ah, laws that govern as the well being among the newest can you re up the

quantity will of volume boil so that essentially when one looks, oh or no one sees that off, it's on countries, had 3 additions that well, well stop relies on that these wide disrupted when the cut on it is came into the continent of africa with the rent of corner, nice vision, a number of things happen. number one that they put under this came in with the administrators. they also came in with the missionaries and they also came in with on sort of part of this. and when they came in for purposes of the donation of african peoples, one of the things that they did was to him impose the legal regime. the country that was corner lies by the british pod, what was described, does diploma know this on 3 is that was a corner nice by the die. and of course,

the guardians, i, a system of law which was characterized as the judge rowman low countries that was going on eyes by the french, also had the civil that was based on, not fully on the chords. so that by the time is that the corner the sides separately, the into the continent of africa. a lot of laws which was traditional to africans. i've been busy made. it is also instructive to note or that when the arabs came, there was also, they are a bi position and is to allow my vision of large competence of africa, particularly on the costs so far. so that the laws why it's not me on this, not even jurisprudence the tech route in those are the days. the question bill for the 3 months us did, the interruption between border law is an african laws effect

african, negatively. the answer to that question is, yes. you know, whenever i think about the manner in which the pins subdued, african there is one movie that comes to my mind. it is a movie called roots by alex haley. it dramatize the life of a young african who is removed from the gum. vs the young mind is called the kentuckian day. and when he is taken away, one of the things that they do is to change his name to toby demette came believe that is no longer a part of his old community. he'd become a frenchman if he was caught on eyes by the friend. you'll become my english. if

you are calling eyes bang dish, you'll become my new tale and if you are calling eyes by the time you will become anata. if you died young with the items and use seems to be announced with them. in other words, the design was to ensure that people are binding to the college job on the cloud. so that was not their own. when you know, watch it better, for example, say the white man is clever. he took a nice, unfortunate from the thing that's how this together and we are no longer one bravo is that arising against brother, sister eyes being a gaming system. that in itself is a clear dramatize vision of the impact of flooding low on africa. and we

only have to examine the influx in different sectors that i was there because i'm in the impact of implanted law in my cause of line thrown as sheets in can, you know, for example, wish to as a separate country all as in bob would wish to have the know know solved under these you all exam via then? no, no, no, it's under a dish. oh my lie. we then known as you know, salon all nigeria. what they did was to impose the father in law of individual ownership of land. on wednesday, individual 8 the the lawn stifled, then they started creating conflicts between those who are farm eyes, and those who are pastoralists. today, african countries find themselves with the legal regimes on land ownership systems,

which on north african the only person who tried to change it off the corner. and i vision was dirty, or somebody getting your data in based on parts of africa in the western part of africa. they are lucky that the shift and see is why the thing. so a month we have come people, you will still find a lawn. daniel systems which are based on traditional on us, you pulled line in uganda. you still find what is called the milan system, which is based on the gun the system has been did you do in bring your kids that are the out of the country? that's bad to solve. the problem was of cost if the op yeah. because if the op y'all was never caught on eyes and for that reason the line thing a system of the remains on what's the into. if you live alone line, you go into the area of mine and one of the problems that we are going to mining

stepped up is because rely on became individual. and because when line became individual, the influx is that the individuals can now settle on. and we see those problems, you know, a part of the logs in the areas of criminal law. they also brought in criminal laws which inside the case as why on type sceptical to african modems of dealing with those do i didn't, gave in criminal activity institutions such as the reason why implant that into the continent of africa efforts on law of governance was also affected and i'm always reminded of these words by that great america john henry pluck. when he said, upon regaining independence, there is not a single african country that the system of government that is based on the african

tradition. and the goal is on to say, no african country will never succeed through in want of the systems of government . and if one why ever to doubt the conflicts that you see in africa? i indeed as a result of that. but i cannot but remember, oh, father in law as a 5th, a doctor, because by touching as to appetite, southwick, when yon vonda feedback arrived in south africa. and when john found rebeck establishes out post and they created the opposite side regime. it was based on funding low, it was based on the bible that offers funds. why in the city the opera tide regime that was instituted by the national party and individuals such as hendrick, 5 foot was based on doctoral monroe. and they said that africans,

todd to be dominated, they look at the bible and they said that it was godaddy on for hundreds of years. africans why humiliate? why don't mean nathan through the use of father in law, it is not until 1995 that africans were allowed to vote. because there was father in law as i speak to you, and now all of us 72 by son, overland in south africa, is controlled by minority whites just because of father in law flooding. laws have destroyed the continental vasic. and that is why today, in many areas of the guns are now beginning to talk about what they call or tentative dispute resolution. i hate that it is not always done to the dispute

resolution. it is african dispute resolution because african communities in that day was that they had different ways of resolving disputes. the old from will have the way the of them going to of the way they all get oil have their way victim. now the way the men, they have, the way the about done the way they're behind the way on the was to pull my have their way the money. i'm with the of the way on die hard the view, the time is. and now for us to begin to reexamine how we do things, even in month of the governors, they are all had their own democracy under they've got the system. the time is now for us to go back to some of our laws and we are not to romanticize in culture

called size dynamic. it changes and it gets influenced by other cultures. yeah. simply say that our cultures and our traditions on laws which are good and which can reinforce and give us confidence, ought to be given to the pride of place. and the laws which are not useful to us on which way was done us by the colonized us ought to be just as done and kept in the museum of history alongside the spinning wheel. and the original printing machine africa must now give meaning to vicki. so i hear the saying, watch, i mean the, the new to more. he who uh, bundles this. gotcha. because that's the way we can do it. we must do it. and it has been done in did they offer con, level the africans jot down human on people's rights. is on the been by very allies

. there's some that's the offer tons of something unique thing that they do for themselves. and that is why this credit overburdened to must be given is prior to place. as we continue with the conversations about the continent of africa, we dissolve the brakes. and that is why we say or buys in the knowledge that we really interrupt the game. as we continue with this critical conversations, thank you. and bye bye, the

. the big trouble. no, no, they've done a lot of talking. your country is in big trouble. i know you're not. you're not winning this time to run the high in washington. i've seen trucks, so sales and then sees hopes for a deal, finding him away from the white house and he said as it, as he makes his exit his mentally sofa, we will it for the remainder. fine. then his a mission to us in the last rod, even though for us romanian sites to those fees and support on the front of a presidential election a know by the member states top.
