"It was not just army banter - it was racism"

Jun 11,2020 3:40 am

racism in the UK is sharp and an institution that has committed itself to address The Problem , is the British Army . A new BBC documentary, Three looks, how big The Problem is and whether enough is being done to tackle it.

As David Nkomo joined the army in 2009, he was full of ambition. Awarded as the best if he went out of the training at the age of 23, he was a recruit a tour in Afghanistan with The Rifles . But Four Years later, the career that he had hoped for, was over, because he says he can no longer tolerate that the racial harassment, he is subject to would.

"I Packed my bags and said I'm leaving. Get out of the army. I don't want to be here. "

distinguish between a Regular "Black Dave " of his unit to him from The Other Dave in The Company , he says, dark Humor was a part of the army culture.

"If it's just banter, it's just banter. I'll probably laugh, it is 90% of The Time ," he says.

But while he tolerated the nickname, he says, his experience of discrimination went beyond casual banter with racial abuse by other Soldiers . He says it went up in the ranks and when he tried to raise his concerns, it Made Things worse.

"This is not to speak why a lot of people want, because when you talk, your career is Screwed . "

David Nkomo left the army

Its history of racial harassment is backed served by a white officer, Joe Collinson, who is next to him in Afghanistan. Joe says he was a witness to many events and tells of a time when A Number of black Soldiers , including David , were to believe in an overflow dormitory, he to separate you from the rest of The Unit .

White Soldiers go through and make offensive and racist remarks, such as, for example, say, "it stinks in there".

The last straw for David Was when his superior officer used to blame the racist and derogatory insult him in front of all The Other Soldiers .

David Nkomo and Joe Collinson served together in Afghanistan

until 2013, he was no longer willing to put up with him and decided to quit. He says he was dissuaded from this by a senior officer from the indication of "Racial Discrimination " as his reason for leaving, so he put "medical reasons".

"racist incidents occur with increasing and depressing frequency," Nicola Williams, The Service Complaints Ombudsman told The Bbc Last Year , although she noted she did not believe that the army was "institutionally racist".

cases of discrimination account for 25% of all The Complaints about The Armed forces, and according to the Ombudsman, a "disproportionate" number of those come from Ethnic Minorities . Black and Ethnic Minorities (Sundays) the staff, the make-up only 7% of all service personnel, but in 2018, 13% of Complaints - 39% of which were for bullying, harassment and discrimination.

In recent years, the army has launched minorities, several public drive to recruit works. It recruited heavily from The Commonwealth and two-thirds of the Soldiers recognize, such as black and were born in a foreign country.

Inoke Momonakaya, a Fijian soldier, served with the 2. Battalion the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment from 2005-2012, doing tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. In January 2019, he received £490,000 from the Ministry of defence for Racial Discrimination .

he says, to dress, He and colleagues in the Fijian Soldiers , who were ordered, as the Taliban for an army training video, play with the white Soldiers , and friendly forces. White soldier his name, wrote on a black troll doll, which represented a senior officer in his office. He says it gave him the feeling, "like a second-class soldier".

"I love the army," he says. "What Happened to me, I have no other soldier wants to go through. "

Mikko Vehvilainen was one of The Most important recruiter for the banned right-wing group of the National action

Aside from dealing with racism, the army also has to fight with extremism. In March 2018 L/Cpl Mikko Vehvilainen was sentenced, as a member of the outlawed extreme-right group National Action and imprisoned for eight years.

He was one of The Most important recruiters for the organization and was hoarding weapons for a Race War . Mark Barrett , another soldier appeared next to him In Court , was acquitted, and then thrown out of the army.

in the course of the study, evidence was shown of a National action group messaging, both of which men have been added to the name, triple K Mafia. In it, you racist jokes and pictures shared.

Mark says he wishes he would have had a different behavior, but claims he was in a situation where the language felt normal. "You were really bad, racist, anti-Semitic kinds of jokes," he says, but he also claims ignorance about the importance of the many racist, he says, were used.

Mark believes he was treated unfairly. He denies ever being a member of the National action and told The Bbc : "This is 90% of the British Army . If you went by all the mobile phones in the British Army we have no army, and that is probably The Thing that left me The Most bitter, why do I know you?"

A piece of evidence against Mark In Court was a picture of his house on a barracks in the vicinity of Rutland. In the image A Man was seen on a Mission with Mark, standing next to a burning cross. To serve Soldiers still in the army.

The army acknowledges that it says racism in the ranks, but it is addressing The Problem . It wouldn't give you no information about whether The Soldier had been investigated in the image with The Burning cross ever.

captain Danny Cousland, the Chairman of the defence Rastafarian Network, says: "The Tragedy is that people from the army, through the actions of a few racists. "

A British Army spokesman said: "There is No Place in the British Army for any form of racist view or behavior, and all staff with regular diversity and inclusion, and respect for others training. They are also made aware of How To report unacceptable behaviour, including the SpeakOut confidential helpline, and other means to resolve interpersonal conflicts, such as the army-service-mediation.

"The army takes every allegation of abuse very seriously, and we encourage them to be raised to any proposal unacceptable behavior to The Chain of command to be investigated. "

"we know that We need to do more, and Last Year took the recommendations of Air Chief Marshal (ACM). "
