8:32 am
russian president vladimir pacing over the war in ukraine. and their minds about breaking use. this is really forces are asking product students to move out to the eastern parts or reference southern gaza and it was threatened to assault that being us to move to the out my wasi area close to the coast line. the area has come on the repeats it is very selling. in recent times, when i'm one of the half 1000000 people have been sheltering in rafa off this very all me forced amount of northern and central guns will have much more on that. off to generation change here on the the, in
8:33 am
the center i bet is due to the east africa largest economy, kenya is an african tower house. and home to it will be in the text that was 75 percent of the population under $35.00. it's also facing high used on employment, sewing living costs and a whitening gap between rich and poor. i'm in
8:34 am
a variety and it comes to kenya to meet to activate from the country, to capital nairobi from fighting to social justice to come back and can be cited. they both just wants to empower their communities and to make them safe that welcome to generation change a global series attempt to understand i'm totally and the idea is that mobilized around the world, the, so it's sunday i'm going ahead and stretches from here in times or which is where you're from, right? that. and this is an important estimate, but it will say the country's largest dental site. what was it like for you growing up there? so one of the challenges the getting the guest on initially me and my buddies and
8:35 am
know we find out that time it's not enough for us to pay rent and fools indication that's way too much of a stick to because she was engaging in terms of use of the stress and all that time . so in each of the end of the dining room that let's go for windows laptop. so how old are you and your mother passed the way i was 16 and what happened then? so uh i ended up doing that, don't say to make it for 4000000 t 8. it's a place where when comes and it wouldn't even doesn't have a place to go. was covered in june. we are collecting such so so that they come on and get some, you know, your rafa and that's the what was the transition like from, you know, being on the dumb fire and lacking that to be an artist and then what you do now.
8:36 am
so windows are the dumb, say those us troops off leaving people are calling me that's, that's the new companies that up for us. and they gave me some of that and april 4th. so i notified this digital unit that think it was very popular. what's going on and then the visiting the places and people didn't need to find the stop listening to that, but we need to find that need to find that. okay, so they came, they are the founding me under the transition was such i'd seen and it came up with the appropriate for them, the right extension on the tests or the transition. so maybe they've done since spoken, getting on the the, the, the how did working on his, on site. it's his eyes. whenever that obviously if you feel like you popular is doing a place where people don't appreciate to don't have a voice that nobody cares so much for you. so initially for me, it was like, uh,
8:37 am
i mean i want to weigh a, i'm fixing a lot of social devices when, if i'm sick, nobody guess if i, if i have a good solid, nobody can this nobody to share what, what they have those. but for me to divide video in the mornings, you find them i just, there are. so i was seeing them as the, as the reload in the front of the card to see the he's because the country castillo broke. and wanted to talk to you via larry, you've done quite a few songs about extrajudicial killings and the police know who can and people who live had last 3 friends. i when i was on the dumb site. because of incentive, decent kidding. they was beaten after the missed on the phone. i was so much that was, i was hungry and so that's the way i think i started becoming moving back to social
8:38 am
issues on the not anything that we are the one to one a day or 2. we're not, we're not out there to bump into you when there's also an organization called the kenya, which you work in and you deal with these projects and young people. can you tell me a bit about what you do with them? okay, so of course, and it was, it is a community based organization that lots of kids from the age of 5 to 17, to ensure that they're safe and easy so that they don't. and that's a society special devices. he's coming to you to use a class dates and drama class this point. see, we play games the keys together. we have the money screwed into find the $100.00 plus the new talents, of course, seen so many artists. he does be more powerfully than even any other opportunities the
8:39 am
go on theory, you corresponded them. it's our social justice center, which aims at tactical forms of structure. right. and can you explain a bit about what made you want to start the conversation? i was born in my body and i grew up in montages sites. the sick one biggest fly mean can now i love my, that is, you know, i was a happy child. and when i became an adult is when i could see now the violence that the people in my community loved going through the cold. let's see the police brutality the police came in. the local, clean was so growing up in mother is like growing up in a village, but everybody knows everybody. so when something happens to one of us really seen
8:40 am
it. so the killings any particular too much. it was this too much. so to challenge that, we formed my body social justice center. and were there any personal experiences that you live in missouri that made you want to stop the organization? yes, um, my own brother was killed by a police in to a 7 to void for selection violence inc. hannah. and that with a lot of other young people that have grown up sleep being killed. and this is not just my story, the story of many young people in, by the way, to have a friend, a cousin, a brother, a neighbor that was killed by police, the window a window outside them, it, sorry. so here, just as the inside, can you tell me a bit about the why fi g day today? it is today receive cases from the community uh on the trend of it is that to
8:41 am
be a lucky one to bring justice to the community members most newest if guess is openness . mortality of people who have been arrested with not enough reason. i guess as of the end of this violence, but we have community engagements like watching film planting, trees, community cleanup, community have been once rationed up. and every time we meet a, this center, we have to sing the sun, an energy that comes when we things together. and to just i just on to continue watching this 5 of seeking justice and dignity for our people. the. i wanted to ask you about the time in 2020, when you were a pretest against police brutality and you resisted arrest from 3 of police offices
8:42 am
. and there was a huge reaction because the video of this happening went viral and lots of people. so read how was that experience to you? and were you surprised by the reaction that com? yes, i was surprised that he even went viral. i didn't know it was going to be that impossible . that i, i'm a woman that was able to stand up for myself, made the young man in my community a small and bolted to sign up for themselves in midland field mall household i also have to say that at that very moment, it was the pain of every month i have walked with in thinking, just as for the sun, every case i have documented every single person i have seen lose that lives in my community. i gave me the strength to say that this was enough. and this feeling how
8:43 am
much are still the so 10 dash, thank you so much for being here today. when we think about the issues that are facing young people, it's interesting that 75 percent of the people in kenya under the age of $35.00. but only 40 percent of youth at registered to vote in the recent elections. why do you think it is that so few people are registered to vote here in kenya, under the age of 35. i think it was a, a one a form of existence from the people from the 8000000 tenants who did not come out to vote. i think they was saying that they did not want to be a part of this. they wanted a system that works for them. and on the other hand,
8:44 am
i think one thing is important because it's the only way we're going to put someone who could walk for us. but i think it was very loud that they would so tired of this system of oppression. and what do you think this? how did you feel about the election and how did young people that you know, speak about the election? remember before we left so new, i mean, we were in a crisis of course the 19 and of course even the dump them into a previously, they're one not even doing a lot of the people that they would just uh, making that people saw followed because the there was not a lot of coffee, was people people not going to job. so in that when it comes to people now being told to vote and they are like and on the same government didn't campbell, it. that's why are they getting now they don't respect the voices. they don't tell what they say, but the one task to do what they see and that's, that's how we feel like it's what is not possible. it doesn't change anything. do you also feel that sense of advocacy towards the system i do because women would
8:45 am
see since the country, good independence with little change. look at the community where i come from. it's still the same for her to from before. so people are beginning to relate with, i mean, why do i even go towards it doesn't change my life in any way. how did you bring to that change if you withdraw from the system is that exist now? how can you amplify the issues that matters? he mice, i think we need another tentative system that sense as piece pull at the very core of the issues we have trying to address how we need to bring about changes, organize ourselves as the youth, and advocate with one voice as one girl about the issues that much i to us, i feel like we shouldn't take a box it and watch and complain and say this system doesn't work for us. these people are corrupt. it's and we actively organize against that system together. i know the both care about extrajudicial headings in kenya,
8:46 am
around the world. they were conversations around police brutality, and that's at the hands of the police. could you explain to me what it is like in kenya in regards to the extra 2 additional cleanings, the medical step in the hashtag blacklist martha. uh, i think it, it, it might the most in can because uh, personally i've looked 20 plus friends. most of them was killed by police and well justice. and initially this is this specific one of the dental. so if you imagine how many happens each and every day and my dad and keep that in, in, in, in the streets. so it's quite a very, very big issue that hasn't been happening and we haven't been getting that solution . and wonder of how would you explain it. now, as i'm british colony, when we got independence, the police service that was serving the colonial government did not change. when
8:47 am
it's done looking as i became president ok now he continued with the same police force that the colonial government was using and therefore pressing on. that's their practices. and they told him of that would cost up on the people to present the canyons leaving and in foremost instruments when judge floyd was killed by $10.00, you early as 10 miles to the non community. and when we planned the protest those this last time i saw kenya's soul invested in tackling months of x. are you sure things in the country? usually we will hold our demos, the name, foremost settlements. i think drugs play the skills can connect, said the best struggle in the us and us from without hand came most in large numbers to say we demand and interests any additional documents. so police offices of justified 72 percent of the kennings that have happened alleging that they were result of anti crime operations. and i wanted to ask within the communities,
8:48 am
is that a slight tension that just some people maybe not have sympathy when somebody who was committing a crime dies at the hands of the police and how do you respond to that? yes, that happens. but i think it's um, we live in a country that prides itself in upholding visual noval. what do we have, let's say, is if someone has been found doing something wrong, can we have a little before? not can we have them arrested and taken to court and prosecuted instead of the police this id to be the judge and the jury, and they've vacation now because this is what happens most of the time. and this is a crime not just in can no, but everyone else. i do not think police have a right to take away anybody's life when they is a low but can before lot for me the biggest issue has been the quality. they are not treating people the same, like we have been having news like a, a, sat in 5. so let's go to
8:49 am
a took mindful day for the government to the se in these governors on news, but then not being keen, noisy that didn't where we leave, and then the someone on just the phone. it was my dad, a cleaning on this, the cleaning all according to the, the little so the we need to, when we need to put it clear that it needs to be an, an important thing that we feel like it's not if it's not dry and equally on dish. uh that was the case of calls in being in this like some people in government and stolen dealings made so many tickets. they fits of code names and in the country. and during this period, there was also um, a lot of property in the communities and actually the police did not as waste their club india, nancy spies, having been a protest, it is the people protesting against this school with the union. and that's why i actually already said, so what that she's saying is there's
8:50 am
a distinction between people who are stealing to survive. and people who are stealing from the people. because the governments told from the poor in that particular incent which led them to lead groups. when you say that you're fighting for justice, what does justice look like? fear? so for me, just as a means uh this, this consistent like people i shifted. same uh they said this list is like following the little moist killed with the police. uh one, do you mean by that 600 additional kidding to you or not given a find me to bring to visit with the police to conduct a fundraising so as can get funds to do that, by the way, in which why don't you have incandescence? because that by some of the scheme then it's wrong to you know, given a, find me so for this no invested there. so if i fight jesse's that people shouldn't be treated equally. that's what does this mean school and what about you under at what is justice look like to you and when you're fighting for that,
8:51 am
what is it that you're thinking about? my brother was killed by police just this idea and they would look like me getting luck, my brother. but that is not possible. so injustice would look like preventing people from losing their loved ones. still the same that would make sense for me. the only reason we, i'm fighting that disconnects and it's just of so can, is do not have to go through unnecessary paid costs, bite the bullet. so has that ever been a time that you have seen just as an action in kenya with regard to, you know, police kennings if and there was a case to all funding of the office on monday station was over a couple of the station who killed someone in the police station who drowned them in a drum full of water and as the inmates could see that. and when we documented this case together with international justice mission, we took it to court and we attended court sessions. we are going to show
8:52 am
a certain justice for my team call me and the enlightenment when he was sentenced to life imprisonment. and that was the 1st day i saw a justice in action in this country. and i want to move the conversation a little bit and says, all the areas i know you care about. i want to specifically also talk to you guys about music. it feels like it is really a lifeline fear. so for me, music is life. uh, i feel like uh, the way the way people have a power like the police have the gun and they feed off one of the guns. so for me as soon as possible and they have music because it's part of my life. last year we had the case of very beginning to end or we had a police list looking for a site and then the southern thief. when dining he, he went to, he's friends on some of defense on not the so the police ended up getting every body and they did this all. it was all about stuff inside traditional kidding. we did go inside the to the then the community justice center. my dad is social
8:53 am
justice centers and all that, and we, because just is through, through the power of the ad and we've got new, new police. and are there any other names of people or any other examples of cultural art or music the you have found to be powerful or inspiring? and can you listen to nancy mon and the song, mississippi, and good them about police brutality, the full gus that identify and became a big issue for the black people over there. they went to a protest singing that song made them feel full pa, full. and nina, herself felt like headlight slide more relevance we should see to advance the struggle of last people what she was saying about them is still very rel of lunch today in the us. and also we know communities in countries back home and i wanted to ask social media. it's done a lot in terms of sharing messages to do with activities. and how important do you
8:54 am
think that has been for you and can you more generally in terms of i'm to find messages like the ones you care about? most. mostly i've been using social media as a sort of like a proof. and whenever you have so, so maybe it's easier to even tell people like this, these are part of the things that they have done. so indeed up this a time she had issues with the police when they wanted to make others have a force, a new york. we also that because of the social media. so this means that when we did send, it would be to move off. and so many people are inspired by high just because of the story. and this is because of the social media. it has even happened both even industry to someone is being that if they've done this using social media to tell people that he has to be noticed and then he hasn't done anything. so i have said that social media have played a very, very big role in terms of documenting issues. one very easy use youtube to teach that kind of alternative history. and i wanted, if you could speak to me
8:55 am
a little bit about why you've done that, i love history. i think history is very liberating. when you get to see me know and understand. i think present the generation is quite disconnected with our very closely as history of the past. for example, my communities, my, my home in my diary has been around for a 100 years. it's been a century of survival and resistance. since 1920. my battery has been existing, think it's the oldest, get to him can now. so we've had a president from 91063 who have done something to change the faith of the people of my life. but they did not. this is we have structural violence. comes in that the people who continue to be neglected and continue to be exposed to system systemic violence of social injustice this. so when we understand as young people where we
8:56 am
are coming from, it will be very easy to, to create like i know future. we want to know for children's children and so many that i know you can relax about your community and i want to hear from you directly . what is it that you're proud of in terms of where you are from and what your identity is. so uh, of course i'm proud of myself if cit, from, from where i've come from and where i am. i'm a needs to, to both of our 1010000 kids have identified the new talents among the successful stories that they have. is that about 50 young guys do not end up being and dropping off of school i li, pregnancies but we have monday to get them out of such issue so. so most of a proud to fall of the defies that i've gone through in interesting that thing satellite the songs that they've done and all that as a final notes. what is it, despite all of the issues that you have seen that makes you get up every morning?
8:57 am
so 5 for a better day. why is it that you can see needs to do what you are doing? well, i guess my going is knowing that i'm on the right 5 and i'm doing my little thing and towards contributing to the betterment of society. like one guy mother, i said to everybody around there was what's the little thing towards making the middle place. so that is my initial thing and i'm happy doing it. there is a now let's wake up every morning to ensure that what i'm being the, i'm not even paid or anything is just because i need to see a good future. i need to see a bit and or i need to see a bit of canyon. i need people to not leave the live that i have left so that so let's look up every morning for me to tell kids which, which if i'm really i know. so for the future, i'll scan the
8:58 am
latest news as it breaks. frequent on start fighting for access to the river, it leads to woods, this country's major ports and that's where drugs are traffic out of the country with india for ports ukraine struggling to find men to fight in some sections of the front line. brushing forces out number, it's 7 to one from the heart of the story. this is the flight channel of a dumb full of the water in it flowing into the tunnel river,
8:59 am

9:00 am
a wider war if border security doesn't improve the these really all me says it's about to use extreme force in eastern rafa in southern gaza, a ones palestinians to move to western rappa central guns the carry johnston. this is i'll just say a bull costing life from also coming up a nice that you only will a 7 month old baby is among the 21 protest indians to in as fairly, as strikes.
