We are talking about in years where its history made the thousands of people and the assessable were talking about people who were told those that they are running on their own this know how whatsoever and some of the areas where the insurgents are launching a city is that thats an commuting city is atrocities its all about of finding the root causes isnt as an art or is it clear what the insurgents are actually fighting for is a huge amount of oil wealth up there in the north thats yet to come online i think thats what the insurgents themselves to say what theyre fighting for i dont know what is the age what theyre fighting for. But in terms of the the communities and the people who live in these areas is there a sense that they are disenfranchised and thats why to some extent the insurgency has gained traction in this area. What do we know or does stage is that people do feel that the wealth that has been discovered and covered there that thats not beneath them and that a lot of people have taken control of their wealth forcing many of the locals to leave their areas where to look for their source of income for example are not these are now mining and that in itself leaves a lot of few people employed without any resources to feed their family and therefore they become will no doubt will do when the type of thing tyson and the equipment is on the side of the insurgents and certainly an ongoing challenge in problems in our democratic from here with rights watch thanks very much indeed.
