Is kenya on track to ridding itself of doping. Hello im christine want to welcome to news africa im glad. Theres been a series of looting incidents in south africa residents from the township of safed to have gone on an overnight spree on wednesday targeting shops run by foreign nationals this video circulating on social media purports to show a mob ransacked shop police and continued on thursday morning this figure taken so it will stiffen of district shows a separate mark the South African government has one day of the raids. Were going to go over to soweto now way to fulfil those into malaya is standing by he is the director. Thanks teachings and migrants in south africa and india based in johannesburg welcome to the africa diesel so you were at the scene in that deep kloof this morning one of those shops was attacked and i believe you actually standing outside of it what did you see this scene now seems to be calm to cool by is not guaranteed whether the lives of the nation are safe but the police have been not allowed in this scene but this situation is very much better because almost all the foreign shop has been closed down theres been looted and theres nothing more left in those shops ok and you have spoken to some of the victims what do they plan to do now are what are you gauge some of the foreign nation not owning some of the shops and and so it in other areas they have now back at the area actually heading for their lives because they think their life comes fast so what theyre thinking of doing is to go big maybe to other areas where these kind of are texans you know for be got to have taken place that where they feel like their life will be safe and be protected so theyll go into the if you know friends families so that for the time being they can be living with them. Ok and what exactly are you doing for all of these people i know that you involve if you open a station what if its have you put in case. What we have a need to do is to engage the u. N. H. C. R. Of which we have already made contact with to see how best can we assist those who have been displaced and from day out there is can we start engaging on issues of our integration and building. Process so that people that maybe can be back in the community and also to educate the communities about their rights or for if you do sometimes it doesnt matter what encounters so that they can understand what kind of people theyre living with in the communities. Is this the xenophobia that weve seen in south africa past with foreign nationals attacked is it that because i read a government statement condemning this new thing but this statement didnt use the word santa phobia but is this what it is. Christine is very much surprising from the South African perspective because in march this year the government as i dubbed the National Action plan to combat racism what i said discrimination is you know phobia and related intolerance apart when these things kind of attacks happens government authorities and that 11th authorities they shy away of using the words in a phobia whereas the National Action plans was launched and is no phobia was identified as one of the areas and one of the problems that normally takes place in our communities so we are starting to wonder when you see that the government will start calling these actions you know that if they call if they were right way they would be able to develop the process and started using terms of it because most of the time they cite the issues of Economic Development and high rate of unemployment and that question is to us as the constitution for if you said migrants if the government and that 11 to authorities they north that these are not caused by economy constitution and the high rate of unemployment why are they not doing anything about it these things started in 2008 up to now theyre saying the very same thing off unemployment economy issues if they know that those are related to economy going to implement a why are they not doing something about each. Scene 2000000 from the consortium often fijis and i think from south africa banking. Our next story is in mali a country thats been ravaged by war since in on conflict between insurgent groups and the government broke out more than 7 years ago.

The scars of a conflict 7 year long civil war has left an indelible mark since its outbreak in 2012 the insurgency has killed thousands and displaced countless more but its mollys young who are increasingly bearing the brunt of war. Either. There are not only me that im haunted by my thoughts whenever i sleep i see the bandits in my nightmares. And none of us can sleep because our home is not safe anymore you know and i know that i dont know what to do because whenever i move whatever i do i see them theyre always there.

Hundreds of. Rules have been forced to close depriving your generation of an education and the chance to turn hardship into harm. The un ses the warring parties that signed a peace accord in 2015 have failed to accelerate its implementation for more of this and lets bring in Brian Posthumus hes a journalist in the money and capital bamako hi brown good to have you why is the 2015 piece still apparently failing i mean the the un seemingly putting the blame on the signatories. Physical interest of the government and then of a series of armed organizations who are striving for independence off the northern part of mali faithful as i was up and a 3rd group which is another im older more arms groups were progovernment they basically nervously in order to write about this agreement and the big issue here is a town called beaugard which is the warp of marty and more of the slave control since 2012 and these 2 different groups that i just mentioned to you post a coup still disputing who is pasta in the dark how does all of this isnt sold on all these we please prove that the Peace Process will mark who are. They more that the International Community can do i mean has this conflict been forgotten now either because because being for government anything what is happening here is basically that we are looking at International Efforts that are very badly coordinated or something really poorly in the sense of the people committing these acts no deuterated those one point and there will be no very little kids raised and dont forget this is are far from free where you can hide arms where you dont hide troops will get all right from posthumous journalist in the 1000000 capital bamako thank you.
