Because some of those who have arrived so far are former combat sense. Who put down their arms, fleeing the conflict and coming to seek refuge here and go about if they sudanese Authorities Say they are quite concerned about what is unfolding. Once its started.

Staying in africa, a senior official from south africas governing party is in court on corruption charges. Supporters of a smuggler, sholay who is secretary and all of the a. N. C. Appeared outside the court, protesting the charges. Its linked to a multimillion dollar government project. One magazine surely was a provincial leader. He denies any role in the alleged scandal. 7 others have been charge. Lets go straight to family to miller, who is outside the courthouse in bloemfontein forest. So a high profile suspect in court today. Family. Remind us 1st, what this case is all about and how emotionally said to be involved. Hopefully this goes back to about 20142015 when the local government here in the free state awarded this multimillion dollar contract amounting to between 15. 00 and 20000000. 00, awarded the contract to upgrade venture. But it appears that rather than doing the work that they were supposed to reach, was identifying homes that had as business roofing, which is wrong to people rather not gentrified those homes. And removing that reefing, it feels as if that money was siphoned off to subcontractors. And its alleged that they smuggle, surely he was the premier of this province at the time. And at least a 1000000. 00 of that money. There are a number of companies, profile politicians as well as businesspeople who have already appeared in court on similar charges as they seem like a few lego be facing today. But the concern. 6 is that loans of money that was siphoned that was looted by this child and with regard to any smugglers, specifically many people question whether or not these charges would amount to anything if you would seem to have a jail time and the way in which she is going to be charged this morning is according to an act that says that officials. C its illegal, her officials not report any corruption that they may come across. I think its likely that there is not a shilling will face a difficult time in court. Right. I see a lot of people outside the courthouse there where you are. This case has certainly ignited passions in south africa. What does this mean for the governing African National congress . The but this is yet another crisis school be the governing party here in south africa, the African National congress has been plagued by longer delegations of corruption. This time, arguably, the 2nd most important position in the party, the secretary general, or the only lesser they leave president of the party himself. And here outside the courtroom, thousands of the voters are all of a smug and surely as one of the a. N. C. Have come out to show their support. For the sake of the general, they say this is politically motivated. They say that an attack on a smug as she lay is an attack on the a n c. And it will only lead to further divisions, little party thats already struggling. We know that these divisions mean looking at the president s who are more closely on the one side who has said that he is now standing against corruption. That this is the party that my correction. Clearly not government. And on the other hand, you have a party thats plagued by a number of scandals and now corruption charges against specific individuals. Thank you very much for that comment. I mean their reporting, they are side the courthouse in bloemfontein where the a. N. C. Is governing party is chief, is going to court today. Thank you. Security and Election Officials from the u. S.

Will republican senators have expressed concern that could impact u. S. Security well stopping short of contradicting the president . Look, one of these 2 men will be the president United States after the Election Results have come in.
