and dealing with a violent cost blow by blow will meet the former child soldier teaching boxing history have been they say to others. hello i'm christine wonderwall come to africa it's good to have your company ugandan students are making an urgent appeal to their governments to evacuate them for all they're among the 85000 africans living in the chinese province that is the epicenter off the virus outbreak the virus is reported to have infected around 45000 people the number of deaths in china is over 1100 countries like morocco and libya have evacuated their citizens but many sub-saharan african governments have failed to do the same. and i'm joined now by thomas kunz he's a medical student in will hon thomas has been urging the ugandan government to evacuate him and 67 of the ugandans stranded in hi thomas welcome to news africa what is your current situation and how is it taking its toll. well the current situation here is. it's the streets are empty shops are closed restaurants are closed it's hard to get supplies the few stores that are still open have anything in them so truly terrifying some is just letting actual twitter feeds eat you've expressed some real frustration they look at some of the stuff that you've tweeted alice what are you spending your days doing are you afraid what is and just how do you feel about what's going on right now. everyone is too afraid to go out. you don't know who you could meet every time you go out you risk. contact with an infected person so we basically spend all day said maybe watching a few movies social media talking to your family that'll. do you know why your government has not evacuated you and others. i think mind the last week the president said he has believed cheney is a full control of the situation and they have no need to evacuate well our prime minister you can an ambassador to china say that we are safer here because if we turn to uganda we pose a greater risk their country because they're in no capacity to contain the virus in case one of us is infected and and spreads it in the country can you understand that argument is if it doesn't do you at least appreciate that or does that make not no sense at all so you know it doesn't make any sense at all. other countries that have been about getting their citizens have been following protocol straight sure that effected people don't mix with the population by continuing the sit ins for about 14 days which is the estimated incubation period of the. corollary us so. when you do that you get isolated those were effected from those who are fine right thomas what do you want your governments to do. the only way they could intervene prices by way of up to 80 or $71.00 uganda stranded in $100.00 now. as the situation will only get worse from here right very quickly some as you hinted at this in one of your tweets what risks are you taking in talking to the media well ours is one not taking any one interviews and the things they treat so i risk being probably expelled. at its worst deportation but since we're on the look down there could be but it's all. right that's thomas can say in one province in china thank you so what does the ugandan government have to say about why they've so far refused to elect their nationals in china to safety reports again a small gamble has more from kampala. behind me is the office of the prime minister which is actually next to the ugandan parliament where lawmakers of hide the very emotional debate about the issue of evacuating ugandans from china due to the corona virus outbreak the lawmakers of test the government to explain and evacuated ugandans immediately in her response a minister assured blow me cuz that the government is equally concerned but it is not seated she says that evacuating ugandans is an option that the government is looking at but she called me to a cell phone but she sees that china should as well be given a chance to help ugandans without in this having to bring the buckets will know not all parents under lottie's are amazed that these irrelative by spoke to told me that bringing back her brother should be looked at as a priority to before the government can consider anything goes but until the government makes a final decision the fate of the ugandans in china remains in balance ok now moving on tonic story swarms of billions of locusts are ravaging crops in east africa and the un is warning there is risk off catastrophe officials say immediate action is needed before more rainfall in the weeks ahead brings fresh vegetation to feed new generations off the past efforts to contain the pest in windy in central kenya. experts say this is just a short window to prevent the worst. these low cost still on the ground they're feeding and grouping together but it's only a matter of time the fall they're able to fly. it's time for the international community to understand. we know otherwise we would. break there would be my level of acute food insecurity there would be 1000000 more people who. are food assistance and it would take years to cawnpore the situation once this one can fly it becomes difficult to control the insects desert locusts can cover distances of up to 200 kilometers a day the insects are constantly multiplying each female locust can lay about $100.00 x. after 2 weeks millions of new will help us to much and the cycle goes on and on and on and so just think of a swarm that covers manhattan from the south to the north and this is just a medium sized swarm and it's not really a big swarm for desert locusts that swarm in one day and eat the same amount of food as the entire population of kenya. unusual rainfalls at this time of the year the breeding conditions are extremely favorable for the locusts and extremely on federal for farm us. so what we have really depends on this farming season we have to be even if the one beginning in april is short and not as productive we depend a lot on this one we worry that the locusts will destroy our harvest and we end up going hungry the rest of the year we sing for when we have the next cropping season after devastating large areas in somalia ethiopia and kenya the swarms have now reached uganda and us threatening south sudan and tanzania. now a boxing champion in the democratic republic of congo has set up what he scored
