Your 2nd zambia november 28th and the royal visit is underway red herring right off my each and every day you want. To try to write there are police are campaigning to take a. Minute right just one. Hour now 94 years or. All of this for all of this in by our. Own warped tour. We suffered your heart.

You know what if my house look. Little.

A lot in africa yet on the kenya front many different types of men are defending the British Empire during the 2nd world war more than half a 1000000 african troops served with the British Army Many deployed thousands of miles from home across the continent the middle east. It was part of the largest Single Movement of african men overseas since the slave trade. It would expose them to the horrors of past 2 in the deserts in the jungle and cost many thousands of lives during the Service Person would also subject these men to systematic racism and prejudice and on their return they would suffer the indifference of an empire on which the sun was soon to set now with the number of persons african veterans when dealing fast there are callers to fully acknowledge those sacrifices and belatedly to make amends for that postwar neglect we should be ashamed that veterans who fought for all country all they think of the things we have an opportunity and that twilight to get that right its not too late. We did them when they dont run by. Were at the door do a door do a no go get that kind man yet but i dont know that god will go down by new d. N. I. And get back into the night at night but theyre going to knew him when i would always said i know you have a good background they were no good that i know well he said i didnt go to work no good theyre going to.

Did your phone number Walking Around in window going on be a little more bizarre an hour. Now with. The good news or talk on uma way with the dog or human over dog on my brain i will go like that. As with many soldiers recruited from britain as colonies you said were having little idea of what was a stake in this war. Good men are prepared were right to remain unable to article read it would run run run about the dongle it near. Every level because there. I dont know why im here like. All those. When we began in 1939 european powers had colonized most of Africa Brisson quickly put as many african colonies on a war footing much as it had done in wont one some years before. Yes at 1st officials would doubtful about the row so cool native african so which is might play in the conflict somewhat even opposed to giving them a mixing them with white soldiers reflecting the white spread prejudice of the time racism was pervasive in the 1930 s. And fortys it was perfectly acceptable to be a racist and polite western society. Still look upon the words of Rudyard Kipling when you call people. Devil and child timothy past and this is a historian and one of the roads leading authorities on britain is east african army he champions the rights of these cologne youre a soldier is and has dedicated his life to chronicling their lost history the imperial system was riddled with racism there were people who are unapologetic racists at all levels of Civil Society and all levels of the military institutions might feel obliged to keep them in political and economic and there we are no one volunteers to live under an empire their authoritarian states are almost invariably 100 percent built by conquest the subjects of an empire have no rights now British Empire was arguably the most benign the worlds empires they justified these conquests in this paternalist idealistic rhetoric and on the assumption that africans read an inferior stage of development and then needed a helping hand. By 940 nazi germany and he said talley and allies were making gains in europe and north africa isolated on the man. And increasingly concerned about the japanese threat to its asian dominions person desperately needed more troops so despite earlier reservations it turned to a sexy call and hes launching an intense recruitment drive. Now you wrote i am more money. Were only 90000000 think. Its wrong go where i knew where my not bad there were. Many africans were reluctant to enlist in this white mans war but britain had 3 key tactics to recruit them the 1st was presenting army life is Economic Opportunity another was propaganda. War that hitler wanted to seize that land land that of course had already been colonized by the purchased themselves through that new movie. But there we go where am. I going to go with a goddamn meaning a guy mabrouk to get there. There was a 3rd means of recruitment force officially conscription was ruled out and the lispund was supposed to be entirely voluntary but desperate to raise numbers colonial officials would often pressure local chiefs and now it is to find the men and turn a blind eye to how they went about it. The way men were actually recruited was often that the chiefs would press some cases they would press gang men who were out of favor men were definitely swept up into the combat units who were absolutely not tears grayson b. 30 a widow now living in the highlands near nairobi remembers how the chiefs men snatched her husband from their village before he was sent off to north africa and. One year. Well be there by men going oh god go and go well all white joe homo were good that we were no where to momo no wild quiet run to and a man on now where we that met in my local language. And no net radio no letter were not quite 2 were here quite a day were not going back to our nowhere now good year there not in a night of a near one not. Although one of those who volunteered to use a b o 2 faced miserable conditions in the forests and steep River Valleys of heavy rain tropical disease and fick jungle russians were in short supply gloom when. They dont need to be excluded that a bug to come when companies would do anything. Corny had told him not to be a good boy who knew about to be a little over book i learn no either. In theory african so shes in persons forces were subject to the same military discipline as a list of the troops however in reality there was some notable differences there were bugs from becoming commissioned officers and from disciplining lower ranking white soldiers most disturbingly Corporal Punishment which the british army had officially outlawed for decades elsewhere was still used against african troops throughout world war 2 beatings were not uncommon where you were working where we were all going to ok that im going to need their mean by we my weemba or did where. I left nobody one down one would normally be forgotten by go ahead to get up at 000 didnt are not worth the idea. How do you know i mean i know. What im not at between that war. Why thieving i says. They are not going to go as he wanted the media but love was the word there. Was not one of britains willing recruits he was sent to ethiopia and somaliland as a signalman relaying messages between units if you run into all the home visit i think. Youre going to be brought back. Ill go longer than you berlin the only one willing to go. Because you are no power really lean with your. High rank. We have no voice we have no way that the. Way to here not going to big. Cowra again or go on a mandate. But just the harsh discipline im bruce to come back to hard to back there were compounded by the treatment the soldiers like you said be a receipt when the victory came discrimination would not be limited to the war. Once a soldier left the yummie person paid him a lump sum known as award for serious but this payout wasnt only based on the soldiers rank and the length of his service it also reflected his cologne you origins and ethnicity this document long hidden in britains war shines a light on this racial hierarchy the government paper reveals that white person now even those living in african colonies could receive 3 times the amount of their black counterparts Different Levels of compensation and that the colonial regime placed a different value on african and european right european settlers are considered to be more civilized and therefore more deserving of a higher payment verse in the states indorsed colored extended to asian person now recruited in British East Africa to these troops received less than their white comrades but more than african soldiers. I know where they go a bit there. No but the day. They were. There were going to be. When japan surrendered in 1945 percent prioritize demobilizing as white troops putting black soldiers to the back of the line many africans remained in asia for 2 years after the war had ended although their role in the war was praised by Winston Churchill and others before long cash strapped brits and was soon quietly downplaying the contribution that african soldiers had made to the allied victory there was explosive propaganda directed at african soldiers trying to remind that they were had only played a small role and that they should not have High Expectations they didnt mean that they gave me nothing. I didnt go on. Even when the soldiers came back their war wasnt over many veterans brought the trauma of conflict into the family home or. Know what was in the well its a little more. They are not. A new political namang but as a man no money. While i look at how you got to. Do what i do what the boys will let go one. Woman no no theres no more. Victorian before you is a kenyan scholar on a mission to preserve this vanishing history she believes that africans who fought for britain should not be so cross late grandfather served as a world war 2 medic his service instilled in her a passion for the era my grandfather talked about his wartime experiences when the young children. Schooled yes but. To the point of being told that kenyans. During the war Propaganda Ministry produced a pamphlet about this east african soul which is which distilled the air is condescending views in the 1st picture this was a military man from this little kingdom their own material the 2nd picture is talking about a finished product this is modern warfare. Your mindset towards African People is negative they believe they were less just by looking at this they were made to look like simple people these races in that they were not very valued that high at the time if you felt this person was invaluable to that extent then you should not have involved them in the office right so go do your wars but dont call other people to help you if you cannot see them for their true. But not everyone has forgotten the wartime heroics of britains african veterans Lusaka International airport the former brigadier of britains colonial forces is arriving for a week and zambia. David williams is president of the kings african right was association the regiment for which he said and once fort william has flown in from england to pay his respects to his african comrades at a memorial event my roots in africa are a very deep i was educated in what was southern rhodesia. As kids we used to spend a lot of time in the bush it was a very good life and much enjoyed it once heart remains in africa for me williams says destination is a small town in the far north of the country. Hes travelling with a crew of history buffs and the sentence of colonial era commanders who are stopping off that key points along the way to remember the fordham i was commissioned into the 1st battalion of the kings african rifles with lots of time spent in the bush on exercises getting to know ones men and forming a good bond they are very fine so jews and they have proven to be said. The african so. Had absolute innate qualities. When you goes into the bush he is immediately like a hunter. A british soldier often find you have to impose a discipline in where is an african is very very well equipped. One looks back with fond memories and of course one having established that bond with the african soldiers one is continue to be keen to fulfill what one regards as a sort of obligation towards them they fought for the defense of the British Empire. And western values and a time when that was threatened. On their journey of remembrance williamss entourage spend nights at the colonial era mansion some of those present i think are up in a colony or served in britains armed forces with. Cigarettes you know and you know. Theres no question when i was growing up we were living in a country where there was a measure of racism i mean i think on the most positive thing you could say was a form of paternalism one was establishing good principles of rule of law and education great infrastructures in the country. Those of us who lived in africa we were living at the end of a near this was obviously going to change overdue for change. We were all of members of our association passionately committed to making sure that we honor the legacy of all african soldiers. Racism that turn a listicle or otherwise was ingrained in the fabric of the British Empire and some forces but that doesnt negate the fact that many individual british officers felt and continue to feel a deep sense of loyalty towards their african comrades even in the 1940 s. Some Commanding Officers on the record as standing up for african soldiers and demanding baby provided with mentions to this day williamss organization and the royal commonwealth Tech Services league raise funds for these but by then at least they are not forgotten they will. All know. What. Was made. By. Among the v. I. P. s at the event is the former chief of the u. K. Armed forces general lord richards to him britains mistreatment of african veterans and the poverty they face today is a National Disgrace we should be ashamed that theyre from the sioux for our country are living in poverty we have an opportunity in their Twilight Years to get that right its not too late we could still make amends were talking about people who fought for us in the most horrendous circumstances as surely if britain and the british people mean anything its about generosity of spirit. I think all. Political leadership sometimes doesnt remember that this is a battle thats not yet. The u. K. s ministry of defense did not respond to our repeated requests for comment yet there are signs that government policy could be changing in november 28th as the world prepared to mark the 17 year read of the end of the Great Britain arms to 12000000 pound package to help impoverished veterans and war widows from commonwealth nations but senior officials insist that this relatively modest sum is 8 not compensation its not designed to time what it is designed to do is provide some very practical support what my Department Core mission is to believe in extreme poverty. The commonwealth that turns out were living what we consider to be extreme poverty so that means that theyll be able to get Good Nutrition theyll be living in dignity but critics are clear while these men are in urgent need of aid the injustices they suffered under british rule must also be richer rest it wouldnt cost a great deal of money printed vidual someone who studied this destitute men who were in some way harmed who were not well really integrated into their home societies then there may be an opportunity to right wrongs. Despite persons new aid package David Williams still feel was a deep sense of regret about the past treatment of african soldiers that is not something that i think we should be proud of and certainly wouldnt fit into the ethos of what those of us who served with african troops would would wish to have happened but if it did happen we have to face the fact that you know times were different i dont believe its its its something thats worthwhile of you know part of what is we feel obliged to do is to make sure that we look after people who are in need. We can provide better and with at least a meal a day and hopefully 2 meals a day. We do our best to help them. More well. More. With their little. Local those few veterans still alive were not be with us for long a few 1000000 pounds from the u. K. Government to pay for me it was while helpful is not much restitution for past injustices what many want most of all is for recognition. All form of a trans have been afraid that they have been forgotten completes many of them died with experiences but the minutes they die thats gone but we need to talk them fast we should not let them die with only. Time is not a lost sight when they are sought they need help they need assistance let them die knowing someone cant about. This film 1st appeared the u. K.

Now the United States and turkey may be a long time nato allies but that wasnt enough to stop washington from kicking turkey out of its f. 35 Fighter Jet Program so move ankara says will harm relations. The program is designed to sell turkey 100. 00 american f. 35. 00 stealth jets and train turkish pilots to use them but now its been suspended the pilots being expelled from the u. S.

Well some of the 1st reaction came from the turkish Foreign Ministry last night which rebuked the u. S. Decision saying that it was unilateral and turkey made a call for a call on the u. S. To. To reverse this decision let me say in other words while of course here there are some concerns from the turkish side of course this decision is expected to put pressure on the already for a jolly ration is between the washington and ancora relations have been amended in a way especially after u. S. Presser and of bronsons release by turkey last october however current the u. S. Congress is expected to impose some sanctions cuts or sanctions that target u. S. Adversaries which corporate with the Russian Military or Intelligence Companies saw since turkey has bought these missiles from russia cuts of targets turkey as well about the turkish territory because that ancora has already announced the purchase of this russian missiles prior to prior to cuts agreement was signed by the u.

K. Denmark and others did they decide to expel turkey altogether also according to the contract which i heard from some of the Turkish Military members who served for nato as well and who who are experienced in a Turkish Defense industry they say that as it meant as a partner country you cannot say im out of the. This project because you have to compensate the loss of the other countries which is going to cost more than each partners budgets right now so now it is discussed by the officials in ankara that a United States is becoming an on trustable partner in International Contract so it is a horror for the us says while about turkish officials do not close the door for diplomacy turkey makes the call on the us to reverse this decision and of course all of thanks so much for that are now joined by our star shroff an assistant professor of International Relations thats and security at Nottingham University good to have you with us lets start 1st of all from the u. S. Perspective what was the risk of having one country turkey having both the f. 35 and the s 400 russian system. Well the reason that the u. S. Has given for its concern is that. The through russians who will assist turkey in operating the 400 system could in theory work out the radar signatures or 3535 as you may know is a Stealth Fighter that means that it isnt invisible but it does have a very much reduced radar signature and by operating the system that the radar of the has 400. 00 it might be able to detect how the aircraft might become visible and then vulnerable to the russian system thats the reason given primarily by the u. S. Is turkey moving step by step whether logs for now further towards russia and china maybe you know it started with these missiles now its not going to get stealth planes from the u. S. It might have to look to russia for them and so on. Well that could be one of the ultimate consequences of this move but i dont think we should judge the outcome based on recent events this is politics its also law its also economics at play here and the the the outcome of this in the next year or 2 might well be very different from what it appears to be right now for example as one of your contributors already pointed out turkey is pointing to the contractual issues which prevent the us from taking the move that it has taken according to turkeys interpretation there are also very significant complexities involved in removing turkey even if it legally can be removed from the program because the maintenance of the manufacture of components all of that has got to be moved elsewhere and then the number of aircraft that turkey was due to buy will now manifest itself in a higher unit costs for the other partners including the u. S. Who of course are going to be very uncomfortable with what is already an extremely expensive aircraft becoming even more expensive so there are some bigger issues here on politics of course one of the things that the u. S. Administrations of the longer term may well need to consider is whether driving a country like turkey towards china towards the russians is in the economic interest the defense interest the political interest of the usa is this weakening the Nato Alliance or are happens in a couple of years as you say theyre already happening. Well nato has or had several. Crises in its past the french for example left the military structure and became political members of the alliance im not sure that this is going to necessarily weaken the alliance it could do if its mishandled. If turkey was forced to leave nato that would be a political victory for nato as enemies it will politically appear to weaken the alliance and i think for all of those reasons. Some cooler heads in europe in the u. S. Will prevail and will probably want to keep nato within the alliance no turkey has always been a somewhat. Land in terms of its commitment to nato its had a very pacific. Political and military priority weve had the conflict over cyprus between 2 nato members turkey and greece and thats been managed reasonably well so i think that in the longer term certainly in tension between within nato highest circles will be try to manage this crisis without damaging the cohesion of the alliance.
