An encounter with me too when he was subjected. By him and just because shes a lesbian. But fost we head to the north and gonna wear a lack of basic amenities and job prospects are pushing many people to the brink so more and more young people are risking the dangerous journey to europe some of them make it others tragically die on the way and sound like not return home after facing too many said the make the right decision. Has made the journey for youngsters close on the outskirts of time money about 640 kilometers from ghana capital im very happy to also have a go and. It is my job. No m. P. Before it worked for me but this wasnt always the case with no education no money and no job i lack of prospects in ghanas nov and region drumhead not to libya after many setbacks he returns to his home country in 2017 however landing that illustrate well in libya has given him a new perspective on life come in austrian im bad but deplane me i was happy because of lend some sort of lending knowledge that i can only sit. Back and use it. To get something to eat. Its the youth who suffer the most from Development Problems in nov and ghana according to unicef just 60 percent attend primary school. I mean one kolya also wanted to leave during his janet iraq he narrowly avoided death but he survived and is now back in ghana working with after he have people who just like he had lost faith in themselves and if they are holding land so is that a cause of the peril to send them to school got to stand up and werent as a parent has a role to play and 2nd government also has a role to play most of those children who are still are from Work Communities religious religious well you know they dont have access to schools so that you make those basic amenities available there were places you got a standard. Of about us about people that want to assess it there is a good assess to it to the future bright and. After home has helped more than 200 people since 2007 by giving them support and providing jobs in the region they want to make sure return these have a future. Was able to make their own money its a struggle for going to go its a struggle for moving beyond go to libya places like libya or you dont live in your old do your circle not a distant green opposes. How do now also went after him for support the help of a can his past trauma now hes finally back on track. Look at my brother at school years since i look at my mom to this look at myself oh my father is norm so im the man of the house now. So im very happy. How do not dreams of opening your own organization to help support the young people from his homeland. Im glad the tyros choice to return home has worked out well for him believe it or not hes actually one of the lucky ones of the rita nee migrants across africa faced many more challenges when they go back home from unemployment to stigmatization in the gun via our reporter it is combining next with young rita knees and the International Organization for migration to find out how they deal with the situation. The gander is responsible for the highest number of people emigrating per capita than any other african nation and thats truly shocking if you consider the size of the population here but now a lot of young people are coming back in fact the International Organization for migration estimates that on a monthly basis over 100 returning a stepping right back into this country question is is the country prepared to take care of them and who better to answer this question for me than at troll gambians. And well begin with mr demby here he is actually one of the people who left the country as an immigrant and you decided to take the back route known because it is the irregular way of going how was that journey for you was it worth it how long did it take just give you a little insight into what happened to him to maybe. They could not force you to see the freedom came when he really wanted to be present here. Going back to you see it sure difficult to bring. Peace to. You know i mean you can very well actually you money if you dont bring money do would be to you and in my street right now when you came back did you have a support system where your friends good to you did they treat you differently no i dont have support of anybody i went. To support to support me but still no no but i dont have support ok let me come are you one of the very few women actually because statistically women from the gambia dont migrate its men who make up 97 percent of those people who are leaving and im curious to know as a woman if that journey was more difficult for you and if the government has been there for you since you returned it was very difficult to we me i dont talk see it and i do throw a lot of money there could not need there after i get there kidney clearly you know i get kidney problems before i am poor mean i need him there i think it out of me because that then i was going there i become in. That is thats was my solution is very dangerous but they are very they care of me take me to the hospital return me back to you and i thank you so a lot of gratitude being expressed particularly to i. O. M. Which i find interesting all of the somebody you are a social analyst do you think of the gang variance to have you dependent on International Organizations to solve a local problem. Thats for sure because gambia does seem tough the capacity 200 this every night to depend on those International Organizations from the National Youth to the International Organization for migration on the e. U. Projects. Success stories that didnt come but on billboards in the country nothing is being done here concrete its not ready its not able 200 to 3 tonys on is better for the International Community to make sure that our young people im not seeing for have a. Long term situation changed on the pushing mr somebody on here now talking about people who were forcibly repopulated back into their countries but these ones return voluntarily reside gambians where should they be taken wish will they go but they should come here what im saying here is and we know whats happening in libya from the media because according to. The International Report the European Union was getting the disobedience to talk to an entity of all young people im sorry i cant allow you to say such things without backing i mean weve. Been telling you weve done not fact. Theres no reason to raise. The International Report i can send you the link you gave me a study of the stuff that is conflict ok so some very serious accusations being leveled not just against you but International Organizations i hear effective as i aware or any u. N. Agency or any International Organization our role in any country is to support the government its a bit unfair to say that any International Organization will sold the entire problem on its own expertise is in a. V. R. Which is assisted voluntary return and reintegration but at the same time we understand i. O. M. Cannot support returning is forever and i think we all need to Work Together with many different organizations to address this issue one of them being of course the National Youth council the i. O. M. As his has rightly said is not here for the long haul what are your plans for people like and. I mean you know 2030 years from now and for the thousands of others who still havent reached the shores of the gambia i think his arguments supporting what is an International Organization is something yes but did. He have to compliment a government judge or are you all part of this government you are a representative of government and youre speaking as though its a foreign entity what are you doing what have you done what we do is basically a blessing government in terms of what are the new. Sponsibility and so it is provided for them ok i dont know what has been provided quote and yet it is what is coming from. The discourse. But we work with and we can bring out the example to see Government Hospital by that i mean dollars or 10000000. 00 and this is about investing in terms of supporting young people all right let me come to will suffice here because you know were hearing from the n. Y. C. That they have plans because of things that might happen in the future but you know already doing something about it do you think your government has let you down. You know for members. But does not you know if thats not what you think you know. Almost if you took a i want to ask as well who is another social analyst it sounds like the more we dig into this issue the more complex it appears to be so what needs to happen to resolve it if every step towards resolution compounds into another one we are feeling our young people and we are continuing to feel our young people thats not thats not the kind of news i want to be putting out there because we dont have it i mean how can you get National Project which should be responsibility of the state. Sort of sponsibility our citizens what plans have the good for the future what we do not insult of want to ensure that in 2020203020 extension 35 wellness attending here. When this is happening now its because the. Field a country for these people that is what you want to leave anybody who decides to die in the ocean. Thats a problem you know. Political economy is a problem in our country ok on the topic of reintegration as a solution to deter future irregular migrants how does that work how does one become reintegrated back into their own country a lot of this reintegration happens on an individual basis so there are questions of sustainability especially when it comes to how communities are being supported so one thing we want to do with i. O. M. Is to shift reintegration to be Community Based what that means is to develop projects for it very nice that involve the entire community so we can ensure that other individuals who have not yet migrated irregularly can benefit from these projects very quickly dr i want to finish with you what do you think the gambian needs looking forward so that were not discussing the same thing 2 years from now all these young people are put in so we must develop otherwise wed be doing the same thing government cannot employ everybody but everybody is a businessman some people i wouldnt support in basketball in painting we need to explore all these sectors and see how we can help to develop the potentials so they can live in dignity to live in countries will go and look for dignity in some other place and that is what were thinking about very well and thats where were going to conclude this conversation is definitely very complex and multilayered at the beginning we asked the question what does it take to get people to stop migrating here regularly the answer was resoundingly give them something to stay for thank you for. A big thanks to everyone who was involved in the debate as always you can watch a longer version of that debate on the you tube channel hands up those of you who can drive. Ok but how many of you can raise a cow over a bumpy gravel road like these. Folks who you think carry me but for susan one gift from uganda what are we seeing is whole lives dream and shes probably too good at it to. Motor sport fans in uganda will do anything to cheer their teams was the high adrenalin sport has a big following among both men and women. 2 but things look quite different in the cockpit. Here just over 50 licensed drivers International Rally championship. Almost exclusively men but the phrase one woman who runs the bank. All when i had just gotten little did they know that these so of course i was young by then that this young lady who had come up to challenge men everybody despised me that is a lady the speeds. Whatever over. Mistakes in the National Championship are high and susan more often gets nervous when her rivals are on the truck. And fast so you become. Yes. But let our own when you get to the top but when i get to the stats and. I drop all the fellows. It is not easy. Hock or driver knows how to give someone a boost when the competition is stiff. So i also tend to be more in such a moment when she feels likely to be depressed the guys are faster than have no is still i know we are fast. Team strategy seems to be playing golf when she sets off the super lady shes known to have funds can be an catchable. In 20 living longer surprised many when she won ugandas National Rally championship. She wanted to gain last year the only african woman ever twitch of such wrestling success i remember myself i know i can do it and everything. So ive lived my life so from the one. To half funds and especially to women belong is an icon of empowerment and to her. Shes a right for to be broken weve made it watched the competition. From one strong woman to the next this lady here is mary with me from kenya looks like any other happy woman well what you dont see in this picture is the horrific violence she has faced the reason mary easily and in kenya like in many african countries homosexual relationships some people like mary find themselves living in fear. But in my view of the. Past. Sometimes i ask myself why. Just because id be fine if it werent for mary. You had a hard time guessing what she has been through mary identifies as a lesbian that is why his stepfather cast her out onto the street when she was told a child that is why she was tired by a group of men as a teenager and infected with hiv. They took down. All of them. And theyre after me baffled. By the pool of my own blood. Type thinking. And then even killed myself thats because they have done that through my work over just when i was pregnant. And im so thankful for growth who may cause some in 10 years later. I can see the money. He gave me. His son christopher has given mary strength when facing prejudice. Why should we did this really we did. Because theyre bringing evil on the world god created adam and eve not adam and steve its not accepted here we counter that and have never learned with that its our behavior to be created selves. They are born like that i dont know i see it is im not which is again its good but all the hostility shes saying countered hasnt broken marriage spirit so you start asking yourself. A minute that this. Or im unique in my own way to because all that different in theirs and make me reza what he wants everybody one love goes with the love d i dont know what these hold. Mary hopes that one day she wont have to fear prison meant for women and that she might be able to mark she loves. Hall. But it looks like marry him with his dream wont come true any time soon a few months ago the high court upheld the existing ban on same sex relationships its a painful set but not just for mary but also for one of all of us just like mary he feels discriminated against so he got in touch with the love and relationship expert. She reveals whats really behind kenyas antigay. Hello there and welcome to the spread a safe space where we get to discuss everything sex and relationship today we got an email from ted and its a really important question he asked their cast thank you for creating a platform for us to be open about our sexuality i recently came up to my friend gay and it seems like people around me seem to hate the idea of it i sometimes get bullied at uni and cant seem to understand what the fear of homosexuality is really about can you explain it thank you so much for that email ted and im really sorry that you have to go through that but in order for me to explain to you the origins of homophobia im going to have to take you back to 181007 before the british criminalized same sex relationship why are you aware that homosexuality existed in many countries across africa and been in for example homosexuality was considered a rite of passage among boys in some kenyan cultures same sex relations were given marriage face a complete with dowry payment in some buntu cultures a woman can marry another woman if shes barren and able to bear children for her husband these are some of the examples of practices that existed prior to european and arab intrusion and then we were colonized in our laws were written for us and some things were added into the constitution and then these new religious practices are what instilled shame and fear and to be honest homophobia simply exists because homosexuality is hyper sexualized which means same sex is looks everything like sex and nothing like love so based off of this alone its clear to see that the fear of homosexuality is actually manmade most fear is manmade and passed down through radical teaching as a good thing about fear is that we can learn it by facing it theres nothing wrong with 2 people loving each other as long as theyre not harming themselves or other people my advice to you is be kind and gentle with yourself and try to find spaces where people are going to accept you for exactly who you are like here i hope i was able to answer your question and i know that youre going to be great from the cavs so much.
