Who escape to bangladesh details killings torture and the rape of children. Those are the headlines on aljazeera the stream is coming up next. The man who negotiated the dismantling of apartheid and scrapped south africas Nuclear Program i dont think we needed the bomb but some of my prediction is just that they want to use it as a deterrent south africas former president declared talks to al jazeera. And im only here in the stream live on you tube today a stream update issues brought to us by you our community will. Become an african country this is a time of movement our thoughts aloud at the womens journalist who took a puzzle. Out as a correspondent joins us but first why was shot added to the recently amended white house travel ban a new social Media Campaign is urging the United States to reconsider hears of a backer of the story. Country the fight against terrorism needs to be on or needs to be respected and needs to be worked closely with and thats why one child was put on a travel ban by the u. S. A judge and people were shocked more surprise why would you put on a travel ban list and thats why we started high spec child travel ban to ask why child has been banned doesnt make sense there is no logic behind it and there are no data supporting it and our side has been supported by so many people globally and has called that nation of so Many International organizations and we feel the objectives of the high stuff were met because now people are aware we are starting people again is this and were asking why the bank has happened and we also surely that we are fighting against terrorism and we have excellent relationship with all countries. Not many people know why chad was put on the white house. Travel ban that was updated in late september the county has been an ally of the United States in the african continent u. S. President Donald Trumps executive order has said chad does not adequately share Public Safety in terrorism relating to mention that several terrorist groups are active within chad or in the surrounding region including elements of. Isis west africa and alqaeda in islamic magreb tatts government has issued a statement asking the white house to reconsider i want to read like a baca mobilize online to put pressure on the u. S. Government to explain itself well joining us now is bring him to hope is age how to get a University Student at the George Washington university and reed brody is a lawyer with Human Rights Watch who spent eighteen years helping victims of the former dictator of chad his say and welcome to the stream gentlemen i want to start with a tweet on my laptop to treat actually this is your green and im going to pass this over to you a great team to bring says i dont think this decision was made on logical reasons and reliable information the impact will be painful on china and students businessmen and immigrants so but describes you at least one of them which audience student what is the impact been like on you have you felt anything yet of course but we know it goes into the effect on the eighteenth of october but just in even the lead up to it whats the impact been well you know its definitely brought a lot of attention to my country and you know you have many students being very interactive with us you know questions regarding how they can help. Personally you know many family members planning to come visit me but unfortunately tourist visas have been stopped so they wont be able to come but as a student know theres theres not really a big impact on when you first reaction when you heard the story on a stranded reaction wouldnt you say definitely thought big news really yeah because there was that was the last thing that would cross my because mind. You know as a strategic ally within the region. We were really the last people you know that would be added on the bench let recess something read brendans twitter. Im no fan of child. Mokes no sense read this for us what does it actually move and why well you know i mean first of all no country should be in the travel ban but you know even in trump ian terms this just makes no sense i mean the irony here is that as as as abu bakar said before a main reason that the u. S. Supports the autocratic corrupt regime in chad is precisely because it is a lynchpin of counterterrorism efforts and in a very volatile region the chaldean military works. You know fighting boko haram in nigeria and cameroon it helped defeat an al qaeda offshoot that had split mali and it plays host to major u. S. Military exercises i mean if you wanted to pressure the chatting government on human rights or on democracy lets remember that you just debbie has been the president for twenty seven years now that would be welcome but counterterrorism is the one thing that the chatting government actually seems to do very well so it really it just makes no sense im glad actually that you mentioned that you actually use one of the words that one of our tweeters also use linchpin this is a cost though and he got into a little bit of an exchange with someone else on twitter he said chat in nigeria is where boko haram are active he got knocked down pretty readily by someone else is that were back or he says get your facts right chad fought against boko haram in nigeria and defeated them similar to what you just said reed but i want to posit over to Something Else now this is just. A theory but i want to show you something that we got from several members of our community this this is a tweet from c. B. Who says i think this has to do with Rex Tillerson the secretary of state arm twisting the chad government after they slammed seventy four billion dollar fine on overdue royalties on exxon mobil heres what that actually looked like this is news report that came out in june exxon suttles disputed chad over tax payments and avoid that avoided a seventy four billion dollar fine breed what do you make of a bad idea definitely a theory but what do you make of it well i mean obviously i mean it was sort of i have to say it was one of the first things that i thought of but when you when you think that realize that the matter was started. That exxon had licenses chad just has major oil deposits you know again here i mean human rights Good Government anticorruption people the chad even people have been pressing the government to use that oil money in a transparent way thats good for all the people of chad and and the world bank and others have basically been trying to hold chads feet to the fire exxon came in and said basically we dont care what you do with the money we want to we want to exploit oil and make money. And so i dont know and so i dont know that exxons role here from the very beginning has been has been that positive but i dont think that they have a particular interest right now in upping the ante chad could very well retaliate and then where would exxon mobil be so we did a little child by the numbers so you can fact check this for us i would like out why would sound form the travel ban have a look. And look to see what is the relationship between china and the u. S. One hundred forty one china ins and to the u. S. This is in the past year. One of them could be one of your relatives perhaps seventy nine chads with a us puppet residence in the last yet and the number of top ins refugees allowed into the u. S. So. Abraham its not like theres a big. Plane thats cabins in the u. S. Whats the point you not have this in these numbers are definitely not surprising a large majority of the chaldeans whenever they do travel would travel to European Countries france germany many students actually go to school in north africa tunis morrocco area so theres not really a large presence of chaldeans within the United States the majority of them come here either as businessmen or diplomats here you know the embassies in new york city and washington d. C. So theres definitely not a large number of visitors that come here from like chad we actually just got this comment via you tube because of course were streaming live on you tube this is casa who says the ban was meant to punish countries that dont obey u. S. Orders it has nothing to do with human rights read. Well there are a lot of again i mean no country should be on the travel ban i mean lets be lets be lets be you know. Lets look at the big picture here i mean the travel ban was created to implement Donald Trumps promised to keep moslems out of the u. S. And this travel ban three point zero basically through when benazir whalen north korea to to you know to enemies of the u. S. And one just has to speculate that. They were looking for another country to throw into it to dilute the list a little bit i mean there are a lot of countries in the world that dont support the u. S. Foreign policy that are not on this list and chad generally is supportive of u. S. Foreign policy i mean that that again is is is the big irony here so many parts of this are right i think our community would say. Brain bank you so much for joining us we have to leave it here but thank you for your perspective well continue to follow this story now to protest in cameroon perhaps one of our most requested stories to follow up on by our community this is the eon glave a journalist who pitched this story to us. Since the last time we spoke you on the street about the protesting and the situation was actually was youre seeing an increase in the death toll nor for some other guy who died as a result of this crisis i mean you also seen that the people there shifted their team runs from what the initially started demanded last year which were reforms we are asking for reforms because in schools in the way french and english has been used for more and more people here in the last two to three months are now demanding for independent asking for separate country from person to come through and. I got phone separatist movement in the south west and northwest the cameroon is gaining momentum protests have been raging for a year now shutting down schools and courts and recent violence between Security Forces and opposition activists killed more than seven thousand people and thats according to Amnesty International a moonie and president who has condemned the deaths and his government has refuted reports of a massacre in the region both sides are calling for dialogue a resolution here to discuss the ongoing issue with us eugene from wa he is a cameroonian journalist for the stand the tribune thanks for joining us thanks for coming back its almost a year since you were last here let me show you from judith do you says the violence by Cameroon Army has advocated the situation radicalized a made more extremist need to demilitarize the southern cameroons what are you seeing what are you hearing what are you reporting on the atmosphere if you could take us into these English Speaking regions what we see. Right in the situation in the english parts of cameroon can best be described as an ease or come sense of balance of two one remember the look of one is the year the date on which the english part of cameroon became independent and then joined the french speaking part of the country to form coralie cameroon and on that they activists came out to symbolically declare their independence of the state because as one of your listen access pointed out its become an increasing demand. For the creation of a new state of. South and cameroon. So right now the region is tense its not certain that the us who suffer resumed actually quite sestito yet to see lawyers show up and the number of troops in the region has gone up more than three forms this side of broking a wow it sounds strong drew what whatll total battlefield there with a little right at the pump from. Now its almost been there a separatist movement. From cameroon has been there for decades except that you have for a long time it had been government and when the demands. Late last year for reforms in the wake of the languages used in arrests act. Cultural link we stayed as well as they got an educational difference is that the kind of rip kindled they separate to spirit and one of the government was delaying in responding to these issues and preferring to use force to crack now have a separate he has found a space and sprung up and have now taken over the struggle. You know eugene weve gotten of course a lot of tweets about this and many of them are from people pushing for the Independence Movement but we also know that the internet was blocked for some time and so how people are getting around that is interesting this is john he says the movement has evolved with social media blockage a group of angle phones based in south africa launched as c. B. C. T. V. Which is satellite based and the news is mostly directed to end up on people because they had no other way of talking about their issues eugene how are communications right now and is of an effective way of making sure that people in the diaspora can talk back to people in the country i think one of the major consequence of the blockage of the internet was the creation of the southern cameroons Forecasting Corporation which has been doing a lot of. Imports and writing them a search of a separate is. Broadcast same as satellite and so many people even in the most remote parts of and reform can rule with simple satellite dishes your rules can receive signals and they have been communicating a lot so they have been able to mobilize and educate the people contacts and to come out on mass to crowd to protest as we saw on october one so the channel has been very instrumental the government. Still have to shut down the internet right as we speak internet is only partially of the parts of the north west and southwest so theres an intense second shutdown let me just ask you this about camerons anglophone crisis and we were asking our community. Economic deprivation is about language is it a cultural issue this is what office says all military what are the trainings in cameroon and most official documents are done in france no one cares about the angle of that its still the issue or has it changed in the past. That hasnt really changed i mean the government has created something theyre calling a Multicultural Commission liberalism and Multicultural Commission which she is intended to address issues like this ill bet at this point we still see a lot of communication coming out of government offices in french its interesting to note that the language of command in the country military is french which means that forms of yours must take orders and present. And so its things like this that have caused many and willfulness to feel that there is a systematic attempt to raise your identity especially at the level of a man would rather government teat do something that is interesting launching for the first time in the sixty year history of a country a department of. English instruction at the school of magistracy an administration which is a school that trace the countrys top magistrates and administrators just happen this year and the first students are currently being enrolled thank you so much for joining us weapon keeping an eye on the progress of whats happening in cameroon and the protests as well as wrong in touch with whats happening down on the ground wow. Why does the dangerous and painful practice of female genital mutilation. In so many countries thats the question the new al jazeera film called the cut exploring. The village that has taken a star in. All of my classmates was. One of them. And they were not able to. Because of. When you talk to men they dont even know what. You know what actually happens when i. Am im very very. I dont know and i am. Not going to have a daughter. How would you feel if someone said she needed to make up. Well joining us now from stockholm sweden my friend and journalist foxman i welcome to the stream fatah that had to have been a powerful moment for you to sit there and watch them watch after him in practice the said we have not seen it and we dont know how its done so i want to start here with this tweet this is from tony of men after g. M. He says what specific role does fox and i think men can play in the fight against g. M. Taking to enter into mind your experiences there in kenya. It was a record a very powerful to witness that moment i personally couldnt watch the video but to me footing their next of them hitting the cry of the baby until today its been home to me that scream and then just watching that reaction or not i didnt need to watch the video i just watched it and then after just after like you thought in the clip movie that they can back they had never seen it before it becomes always done behind closed doors so we didnt really know what it actually entailed and i could see that it shook them. I do believe that men in some cultures. They are the called the witness. Grabbing things were going to but they can also be a bigger world because a company would be grown and didnt and again it depends on the specific culture and the to the country so we cannot have that everywhere but i do believe that men played a bigger in ending. That coal all status so interested to know why she did not go to trial or you see as pierre and you saw a story has changed in a generation all the seen you as an as an activist. Yeah im really from italy are there today you dont know why we didnt go to editorial on which i was to go faster and so i might and im. Sure just a clue that we couldnt go and. The second reason is we wanted to go to a country where if g. M. Is still legal so i will have the highest rate if g. M. Prevalence its ninety eight percent so journalistically that was the obvious choice for us and i only know two and i was already in the driving for and i knew that were going to in my journey it was going to end in sweden where in the firm i end up sitting with or through in woman or my mother through innovation and i do talk to my mother in the film as well so we did not need to go to editorial. And the goodies and want to we went to go to you know mentioned your mother there that of course was the most touching poignant moment for me as well watching you because i know youre a journalist and then having to bring in your family into this this is this documentary asra and twitter it took her to she says please as facts not all about her mom being featured in the dock featuring the mom was the most touching bit for me how did your relationship change after that and what were the consequences of having your mom talk about a sensitive topic. It was a very difficult and to be honest with you the moments leading up to starting filming and throughout the whole journey in the back had and back of my had i was constant thinking about my mom and i then learned about the fed moti and what actually happens when youre cut despite me doing or might be such a knowing about all the facts and the figures nothing to pad me for meeting women who told me about. The difficulty that they faced so i would do it was difficult. And the moment when i sat down with my mother to africa i was very relieved to know that she did not have to she was cut but she had type one. In comparison to what the other ladies i met in in some of the land and then in kenya have her. Hair cut would not be a one for the dreaded any but since then i feel that our relationship had become not open not just with my mother its with my father as well because for the first time ive i can hear him talk about this its what are you doing to hear him talk to my mom and ask. He didnt know about because its not something that you talk about and not just because its a taboo is just not something you talk about dad like a regular topic so now everyone is talking about it men are finding messages to my father telling him about how they feel about the film and been really positive feedback and im also getting a lot of messages from men shouting that it took to experience this their most experience of them saying look yes we want to talk about this so that openness about this topic im talking about it with my mother with my loose she struggled she washed actually we washed them together when it first. Ad. Talking about it then i would be leaving open it being open about the topic and. Number two talk about it i do believe that this could be one of the key deeds and its too hard we can. Wait a while we can actually and there actually im globally so we got this question here we have just about thirty seconds left but. What percentage of people you interviewed use religion as a reason to continue the practice so barely. Culture when actually much much stronger than religion because like you could see from the phone there is more than isnt that said that this was acceptable and its just its just a culture with mainly mention and i also want to emphasize that this is not an african problem its a global problem even if. Its a global its a global issue and its important to remember back its not just an african problem. Is a general shes also an aljazeera correspondent you should watch this film its remarkable the cot exploding you can watch it online right now at al jazeera dot com thank you so much for what. You can i will see you online. With. Documentaries that open your eyes at this time on aljazeera. The story that. Will probably be the. Miners died and. On that time.
