Why did i do her mother who was 8 months pregnant was killed and yes mean was left all alone. Some people found her on the road and brought her here on the road to the buddha. We old suffered the Rapids Support forces killed and wounded. So many people like i heard a race in Human Rights Watch report accuses the Rapids Support forces and allied militias of carrying out attacks and west of full killing thousands. The report says this indicates ethnic cleansing will crimes and genocide. The power in military groups has been at will with su dons army since april 20, 23 and 4 is a front in the civil war. Thousands of people were killed in clashes and as strikes, you know, fashion over the weekend. Its the last major cc and all for still under the sudanese armies control. The city is reportedly under siege and there is a Communications Blackout to the United Nations ones, but fighting is endangering 800000 civilians in alpha and preventing aid from reaching the region.

Age groups fee that the violin seemed all full, could lead to another massacre in force, millions more people to flee for their lives. But can now bring. And toby har word, hes a you and stuff, youre just your minute hearing coordinator for. So donald jones is from nairobi and kenya, thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us today. Now we heard a 4 year old jasmine and her family being targeted by rebels. There. Tell us more about who the Rapid Support forces are targeting and why as well. I mean, its very clear since they, we will bro, dogs in sit on, in, in april of last year the, the be a significant number of civilians who will be talking to both directly and directly as the results of the, of the conflict between the 2 armies. The of the Sudanese Armed forces and the parent military rapids, or forces in the l. Jeanette, or in particular there is a longstanding ethnic conflict between many of the the, the arrow communities and the mass of leads and other non our communities. Over lab results is a diminishing result is in fact due to Climate Change and the extended droughts. So its a, its a historical uh, grievance to start the problems between 2 sides. But suddenly whats happened in recent years with the all mean of the rapids of both forces and the, the arrow about our, our militias. They have significantly more by of power and they have been able both the in 2003 conflict and most recently now to remove a well fight, a fixed baffles against the the, the, the african 3 inches and also which has led to the white scale as so the Human Rights Watch is calling an ethnic cleansing all the medical needs from al jeanina. And as you have said, 300000 people more, i think its actually about 500000 people. Fled to the results of the conflict between july and november of last year. And more than 9000000 people are estimated to have been internally displaced by the conflict with the fighting spreading though. Is there any place that is still safe within so don yes, yes, there are safe basis that on is an extremely big country. Its the size of western western europe. Uh most of it. Um, so um yeah, there are safe places up in the north of the country up in the east of the country, but obviously the key populations zones buses go most up to them and the tri city area. Many of the cities in the, in the core of the finals and the center of the country have the never affected by fighting and the for very much. So i, you know, you, your reports are told about the fighting enough basha. Theres a split up over the last several days that is all extreme concern to the United Nations, such as the general stuff about it in his, in a 1st statement today. It isnt about extreme concern. There is a well over 1000000 people who are trapped there in the city is being besieged by the rapids of both forces. It is being a subject to uh tillery attacks from the rapids or forces of the uh, so the nissan forces f on budman plots of the city a 2 days ago was unnecessary infrared, the images. Both of us looked at, we saw burning in approximately one 3rd of the city, mass displacements within the city of people trying to move to so full safer areas. Um, but um, so tenants of people have been killed and we really do see a full uh, an escalation uh, you know, fashion life, the policies do not the escalates and do not uh think before they jump off the base the, the, the financing in a bash it can well exacerbates and metastasize, the conflict in doc for and we could have not seeing a repetition of what we have seen in l as in n a. And as reported our search by Human Rights Watch, you know, and i want to talk about your work briefly in november of last year, the Sudanese Government ordered the you end to end admission in some don, what does that meant for the humanitarian situation and how are people getting the they need as well the, the, the security council. Lets close down the Political Mission unit times the humanitarian mission is not being affected by that. We are to continue to try to get as much a into the country as possible. Of course, we were very badly affected by looting a stealing systematically in the early months of the conflict, primarily by the Rapid Support forces. And we have been trying to build up our aid capacities in t, uh, havens both inside the country and in, in, in chad. We have been seeking to get as much a into the country as possible. And we have had some support from both sides. However, i would say that, you know, continuing the traffic impediments of concerns over allowing the United Nations into, to, to access the form from chad. Um, by the government has significantly led to a reduction in the capacity that we wish to provide if we had better access and better support from the boxes. Yeah, understandably, so that was toby har. Where do you end up with a tremendous hearing coordinator for us who don. Thank you so much for your insights.
