As you mentioned one of the things that were hearing from burundi and elsewhere is that they suspect that peer on currencies a might have been the 1st leader in the world to die from cope with 19 the government says he died of a heart attack but its a few things worth considering here 10 days ago about 10 days ago his wife denise and her in these are flew here to kenyas capital nairobi seeking medical treatment for what the government said was an undisclosed reason but its been widely reported here in kenyas press that shes been suffering from coded 19 citing sources from the hospital where shes seeking treatment the Foreign Ministry through the ministry of health has denied that now pm grins either himself famously played football almost every day at a pitch in belgium bora now it was his unit widely known to be fairly athletic thats why its surprising some people that he should die all of a sudden 55 years old from a heart attack and now in burundi on currency that and his government have been widely criticized for having no policies at all to try and stem the spread of the coronavirus over the last month there have been election campaigns where thousands of people gathered at rallies large sporting events werent canceled and although the countrys only officially registered just over 80 cases a lot of doctors and Health Experts say that while the government denying that theres a pandemic or urging the room indians to fight the virus with religious faith that there is actually a growing crisis there and this also comes amid further on confirmed reports that there are other senior people within the government who are also suffering from coded 19 Marcum Pierre posies it was you just step down in a few weeks he was of course a man a word was feared and he lived in burundi what will burundians remember most remembered him most for ed also where does the country go from here. What will the indians remember him words for and hes got to remember that in burundi its very difficult for people to speak freely about him or about anyone thats empowered but following a sort of deterioration of the political space and growing accuse ations of rights abuses political killings torture and repression of all dissenting voices a lot of opposition activists journalists have fled there in exile from where they can speak relatively freely and if you speak to almost any of those people theyll say that pierre in currencies or has brought a political crisis to burundi that really turned for the worst 5 years ago when he announced he was going to stand for a 3rd term which many people believed and said was against the constitution people took to the streets and that was meant met with a violent crackdown and weve seen a closing of the political space there ever since and he does have a successor who was he was announced the winner of that controversial election last month ever received. But according to the constitution its actually the speaker of the General Assembly who should take over when in the case that the head of state dies there waiting to find out if the president in waiting or the Assembly Leader will be the one to take the reins but in this context there are a lot of lack of political space and widespread rights abuses a lot of those people who are able to speak freely say that this isnt a very safe or stable political environment at all thank you very much for that markham way of life for us there in nairobi.

Of course one could have hoped for some more until Everything Else breaks in stone but that time. The chassis of ours are very narrow too to get that kind of it so im very pleased with. Just quickly 2 things we did they will have closure despite the lack of real evidence we really see i would say there is electable real evidence because the evidence from from the crime scene was very strong but well see how this will turn out even if its enough for the swedish people to be contempt for itself from the prosecutor and. I think you almost have been one of the journalists hes investigated this case over 34 years so this case will now be closed after 34 years the the murder of all of the whether it actually brings closure to sweden is uncertain but it will now be put aside.

Great britain please tell me this occurred is coming at a Time Military came in to help and one crowds in 200 for a party but the last 3 months. Of the. Week the president. Reported by the army in the in the region that weve seen before type what were hearing is actually this attack maybe other surprise on the tide on the local community because theyre vigilant to help help the army. With information leading to attack from bases bridges by apple caught out by 2 and these attacks according to residents happened late tuesday out. But what our fight is possible started attacking us and just on the highways before advancing to the local but age where they shopped had to run them and other people are writing they followed them with a cause to motorcyclists and drove over them resulting in the stats and a lot of people are saying that several other people are missing in that community i met its not just northeastern nigeria thats seen an increase in attacks bible koran its also neighboring countries. Absolutely the violence we see in nigeria and elsewhere in cameroon child image at a public monthly book in a fossil all feeds into the growing humanitarian crisis in this i held the lecture at regional and Central Africa now agencies and humanitarian organizations as well as what goes on in the region i say that some of these conflicts have been ignored for example the crisis in temples cameroon is dealing with the major crisis the 1st of course is before iran and then you have the separatist movement or violence happening in 2 regions of temper which is forced thousands of family and into exile or becoming refugees in neighboring countries coming on before then was receiving refugees from nigeria from jeddah probably from Central African republic now the flow is going in Different Directions or seen how thousands of communities are being housed in refugee camps in nigeria in news and other parts of west and Central Africa so i looked up people are worried that with the going to put teeth setting in in many parts of the world in nigeria in the like chad region and elsewhere in africa people maybe people got to victims of these prices especially in numbers especially in book you know possible nigeria and all these places may be forgotten and this is coming at the idea but time to leave because were talking about a Global Economic slowdown in many parts of the world just people would be willing to give out that this is they have to support humanitarian crisis that refused to according to one humanitarian worker so we are looking at a possible role some of the crisis to time to put security in terms of job security in the south and west africa in Central Africa thank you very much for that i made a truce i find a better job and as ahmed mensch. The vast majority of the worlds neglected crises are on the african continent thats according to the norwegian Refugee Council which says these conflicts are displacing entire communities or less now speak to young edlund who secretary general of the norwegian Refugee Council which compiled this latest report he joins us from moscow thank you very much for your time so as we heard africa region very prominent on your list this year old saw cameroon which is topping the list for the 2nd year in a row let me ask you 1st how you decide this ranking whats the criteria based on. When we have people then reviewing 40 of the largest humanitarian crisis with and with violent displacement of people and then we measure the size of the number of people displaced with the funding of aid and relief to the people in need the amount of International Media coverage of the crisis and finally the degree to which there are political and diplomatic activists who are working to end the crisis and then we find that cameroon the congo. Some held belt is full of neglected crisis they are underfunded they are under reported there is too little efforts to end a crisis that is galloping and where there are hundreds of thousands of people suffering why why is there no effort to end the these crises as you say why are they being ignored is it down to politics war and lack of Media Attention perhaps one of the constants for this. Weather could see it it 78 is a vicious cycle there is little. Diplomatic political efforts to to to end the crisis leading to less journalists going there leading to less attention and and less donor money thereby fewer aid workers there leading to a vicious cycle of neglect then i think too many capitals regard many of these crisis as marginal they are not strategically important for them thereby they neglected maybe in this age when we now discuss you know all of the Structural Racism around the world is there some racism here how come out. Time and again being on the bottom of this attention resource diplomacy the list they life in africa should be as much of a value as a european or an american or a nation interesting that you point that out in detail i imagine Yannick Agnel and that the coronavirus demick is just going to make the situation whereas for millions of people who are already facing hardship but do you think it could also have bring more attention perhaps in an end more funding given that you know this is a crisis thats affecting the entire world and leaders seem to be focused on it right now well it should lead to a common understanding that we have a common enemy in the pandemic and given the trillions of dollars in europe euros now allocated to the world most northern economies the should also be more allocation of resources to the sub than crises because if we are allowing the virus to survive in conflicts and increases in the south it will come back to haunt us in the north however so far we have actually struggled to fund our extra efforts in the field norwegian Refugee Council has 15000 field workers they stay and deliver courageously through this crisis and we struggle to fund new activities to prevent the spread of the pandemic and to help all of those who are affected by these tremendous regression of Socio Economic life because of their pens the mic thank you so very much for talking to us about this young edwin from the no weekend Refugee Council joining us from moscow thank you for your time we appreciate it. As Security Forces in south africa are being accused of using Excessive Force while implementing coronavirus lockdown measures have allegedly killed at least 6 people family to military force from china spring in the latest part of our series on the impact of the pandemic on human rights. Try to curb the spread of coronavirus so africa imposed one of the strictest lockdowns in the world along with it came the deployment of the police and army and accusations of the abuse of power.

Yemens whole fees are being accused of actively covering up the extent of the koran a Virus Outbreak in areas they control. The numbers of infections and desa much higher than whats being reported and one theyre running out of money to help shot bellis reports.

And. The intentional suppression of the Media Coverage from authorities whether its in the northern all southern governments the suppression has very dangerous results among them is that the well doesnt know the real numbers of the epidemic. And International Agencies dont have the money to help the u. N. Says it needs 2400000000. 00 to cover essential aid in yemen this year and a pledging drive last week fell a 1000000000. 00 short of that meaning the closure of services for hough of the countrys hospitals a nutrition for 2500000 starving children gone this is the price of face masks increased 30 fold putting them out of reach of most yemenis and aid groups with you the hospitals are caught in the door if we. Help. They are puffing away. The country in running. The robot are. One thing yemen is not running out of his gums 5 years into a civil war its the one thing traitors can rely on and thats never been more popular than last year is ok but all the people want now is to support their families so they look for a job or trade weve found that selling weapons is a profitable business to the situation that we were in you minis feel increasingly abandoned by the International Community they must mean for themselves even making their own medicine.
