Africas perma Cultural Movement is empowering women in rural areas. Hello im christine wonder welcome to news africa im glad your children nigerias military is on the hunt for boko haram fighters suspected of killing at least 65 people at the weekend the attack took place in a village in borno state in the north east of the country the victims were attending a funeral when they were gunned down by a gang of militants riding on motorbikes and in vans no group has claimed responsibility but the boko operates in the region. This time the extremists came on motorbikes. They gunned down muslim mourners they were praying for their debt. In the body and that told them they did it they knew that you. Will do. What the vote huge then they will judge the issue to do that if you total up to 60 but the terrorist group has not yet claimed for sponsibility for that attack but officials believe it was a reprisal 2 weeks ago villagers and civilian selfdefense forces killed 11 boko haram fighters this is just the latest in a long series of boko haram. Attacks in North Eastern nigeria 10 years of violence has left the 27000 people dead booker harems attacks have displaced about 2000000 people. A spokesman for president mohammed who were howdy said his administration is quote determined to end the menace of terrorism. In the affected region the local governor also promised acts. Up another layer without a judge judge coming in and. So i would hope some sort and some of the security mitten to discuss the will halt this attack was the deadliest so far this year in the region prove that 10 years after it started raging this campaign of violence boko haram still has ability to remain and to devastate. For more on this im joined by david. How is one good to see you why has this insurgency been so difficult to wipe out 10 years after the fact. I think there are a lot of fucked that make it so difficult number one most of the politician in jail will be happy to hear there are so many difficult to fight terrorists including even if you have the nation you have the military power to fight them because people who move in villages and especially in lick chad will join with the very difficult to move and this is where the book. Is so difficult for them to do it but. Its the willingness of the military itself and the politician with that they want to end this war because recently weve. Been in away from the battlefield complaining that didnt have a nation to fight. This is one of the difficulties in the politicians sides they use to complain that. Territory by boko haram they all was shown some of this sucks but they dont go into dialogue or that side of bring into and of the crisis post that is nigeria getting help from other countries in its fight against. Yes it is getting help from that country especially since the coming of personal hardy when theyre from this National Want to National Forces because at the beginning even they brought in nigeria like need came out and chad were seeing this nigerian problem but immediately went behind it came in they brought it team called multinational including even been of the public which is not chad and some western support especially the United States the u. K. And some European Countries out early helping. Jordan send a lot of times tonight right here so the help is there ok also my how have we seen the groups tactics evolve in the decade that its been active. Well. At the beginning you know they just started just for revenge. Revenge against the military or their Security Forces but tactically they move attacking some Government Institution which exacted fear into people and they lifted their move to be attacking him to be dual who just like inform on anyone who is suspected like giving information about boko haram is. Being killed a little. Distracted attacking villages not military institution but that he could do it in new members moving into the area getting. Also giving them food especially now what is clear. Control and they give the people good life that is take a few taxes including telling the people what do you want we will do for you before the people than they were from but now in some areas controlled information coming in they move like the government did it people dont have to feel anything the only go to villages and bring more food more recruit and also they move different places because including media including come on and in between nigeria immediately you have a large area that nobody control it is. Only. Channel thank you thank you. Now imagine that you leave your small home through your garden of herbes and salad then a fruit garden beyond that youll be hives then crop fields giving way to wilderness behind that the forest is a sound like a dream this is actually the concept of perma culture now one project using the method is the future of Hope Foundation on the outskirts of. The farm teaches disadvantaged women and girls mushroom farming using waste corn cobs as a mushroom growing substrate this has transformed lives for the women who are now any income. My next guest today has started a project where she aims to empower women in zimbabwe as are all areas through organic farming Linda Gabriel is most known for poetry and she joins me now to talk about her project i feel welcome to africa linda so tell us how your project maffeo is going to work. So to explain the concept of the word month tour is normally in most rural settings you have either 3 storms or 3 bricks that you used together to support. Our cooking so the idea is for women to government to give to start producing their own food so move through i simply designed through permaculture principles who is that working with the land ok linda why is perma culture in your view the Silver Bullet for empowering women in rural areas in zimbabwe so its mainly from a personal perspective where i grew up with my grandmother and my mother sometimes we had very little to and i think if then my grandmother knew on how world to work with the land would never have gone hungry so at this point it is very adamant that each community in zimbabwe where we are. Looking at many people are not twerking with in the rural areas most mothers cannot feed their children we need to start to grow our own food and feed him in his fist its very quiet and going and that was looking into not just farming but the principle was because when you observe and work our own from our college our principles here realize its not about moral planting well just do maize on its own like many people would want to do maize on their on or a which on their on but when you start working with my colleagues are you looking at more not planting and youre looking at how can you work with the land without using fed lies and picked sides so what do you plan to with what crops that will quote together ok. I want to understand if this is happening across the continent and to what extent or my god so the minute to sit down and study looking into just from a college and you find all this so much going on in the world but we just dont know about it unless you bump into the web from our culture 3 months ago i knew nothing about from a college and 2 i bumped into a friend and i told the mothers trying to do in like wanting to women to come together to do farming thats in this in and its not just about farming you need to do that living in japan so you have people and lots of people in australia doing permaculture and training in Permaculture Design you have groups like billy monist on the guy who then designed the mine your and wrote your book that people have been using over here is here jeff lord 2 and that is so many more programs going on in kenya in uganda and also in zimbabwe we have one of the most projects code that you are project which is being happening in the Eastern Highlands so there is a lot of food thats already got going on just that most communities we dont know and until we bump into ok very quickly and before you go i mean. What i gather the essence of perma culture is working with the land and not on the land very quickly its explained that concept so for instance instead of using pesticides and fertilizers you look at what is a rigid there on the land so for instance you can search using. Cow dung as your menu and chicken chicken. Droppings you have chicken droppings as your menu and the same time planting and plants that will record together so there are some plants which are insect repellents so instead of buying a pissed sides and damaging the lendu youre actually looking into what plants do dr klein 12th which one and over some time youre looking at what. Gets a rain for the gets into your space how do you use that to our vantage and what ever waste from your bathroom or from your kitchen sings how does that wartime gets directed into some way so we say everything or no space of land in your favor with degrading the ecosystem ok Linda Gabriel thank you thank you so much.
