This killer disorder, the and im told me on logical welcome to the program. People in sedan trapped in an inferno of brutal violence, thats how the u. S. Humanitarian coordinator for the country as described. The situation that was fighting continues between the sydneys army and the Power MilitaryRapids Support forces. The violence is restricting the flow of humanitarian aid and their growing concerns about atrocities taking place. An open source investigation from the non profit sensor for information resilience says the iris staff has been setting entire villages a blaze of these satellite images show this area in the west of food city of l janina in april 2023. Compare that to its todd remains as seen in march of this year and from the same city, these warehouses visible in april 2023 had been removed entirely. Nearly a year later. Rights groups are wanting that the iris f, a tax amount to ethnic cleansing and genocide in west off for our next report contains images. Some viewers may find disturbing. Full year old he has mean has struggled to walk since she was shot in the lake. She is from l janina into dons west stuff full, but hes growing up in a camp for displaced people across the border in chad. Last year is fighting me at the home. Yes, mean, fled with her family. But the rebel power, military groups, the Rapids Support forces caught up with them. A bullet toll through yaz means leg and hes her mother. 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 boat and we old suffered the Rapids Support forces killed and wounded. So many people. Of course the, the recent Human Rights Watch report accused. As the Rapids Support forces and allied militias of carrying out attacks in west of full killing thousands, the report says this indicates ethnic cleansing will crimes and genocide. The Power Military group has been at will with su dons army since april 2023. 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 ccn da for still under the sudanese armies control. The city is reportedly under siege and there is a communications blackouts, the United Nations ones but fighting is endangering 800000 civilians in alpha, shaw, and preventing aid from reaching the region. When millions of people are on the brink of semen, that time is running out to prevent starvation and therefore as intensifying clashes and north. Therefore, as capital l flasher are hindering our efforts to deliver vital Food Assistance into the regions. The u. N. Has called the situation ensued on one of the west humanitarian disasters in recent memory. Age groups fee that the violin seemed all full, could lead to another massacre. Enforce millions more people to flee for their lives. Lets speak now to them with that same alley, a Legal Advisor at the wrong one. And but the center for human rights, which i assume is also from dial 4 and survive the genocide the 2 decades ago. He joins us now from washington. D. C. Thanks for joining us on the program, which i assume now are you able to get a sense of the Current Situation in your hometown l fast you . I thanks very much for the opportunity and i think um the situation and the advisors with it because as traffic we have been sounding, the alarm says lives here that uh when the rest of varieties started this evening. The city from all the parts from northern part of the city, from the southern part of the city. Im from the eastern part of the city. And so now it is actually really the are a save. And of course, the sort of nissan forces and, and other arm groups aligning with the Service Office really in, in, in a serious fight, another 5. Sure. The already hundreds of people have been injured and killed in enough 1st and last 2 days. And therefore, the situation is really the best off they got. It requires immediate attention from the International Community, right . What would the restrictions on access . How did you gather that information that in your case and you know, evidence for your reports . Well, i mean, no federal report being relied heavily on um options source uh, information that has already being got there by other um, investigative journalist and other organizations organizations. But with respect to the ongoing conflict, i think despite the black out of the internet blood out, i think there was still a bit of communication between um, you know, uh we can reach out to some of the wizard. Is that a little faster . Uh, so they continue to report in terms of the incidents and, and how many people are being killed and attacked and the like. And so basically were able to access a bit of information. So really we cannot get into we and what is happening at this moment in time. Right. And do you see any similarities between whats going on now and what you fled back in 2003, miss watson only yes. I mean, as we indicated clearly and ill report most of you out to us, it is a we see today committed by, by the office of both forces. This is a new brand of the magenta. We it right. And as so basically the crimes are committed by the same perpetrators and i guess same victims because we have the most solid and was doubtful we have 4 as ago in other parts of the 4. And so we will see exact same pattern again of the crimes and the way the hours of so you know, you know, be, sees the cd, the way that the crime is that or prep or treated using wave us a webinar for, you know, uh the, you know, creating conditions calculated to bring about with the destruction of the, you know, they, they, they protected gross here was speaking for is a, go on, must have a particular right now the numbers from the ones that on a staggering 14000 People Killed at least, uh, 8, medium displaced, 25000000 needing as an aid. How would you describe the way the rest of the world has responded to this . Yeah, i mean i, i said it before, and then i think the, the way the International Community then of course the advocacy stays the community and right. I respond to the trusted as in delford is, would it this graceful . There is no way the other way to describe this, right . And you see people are being slaughter. We know the perpetrators, we know the enable the sway countries, some of them i actually even asked going to states. And yet, there is nothing from the side of the International Community to harper to write a set down. The simplest thing to do is to cut off paper trays from the financial flow that allows for, for, you know, for us to have to discontinue. And yet we do not see anything from the International Community that is done so far. To prevent this, you know, this concert, i think this is april vegetable genocide. This is not only my words, but by uh, you know, the words of other experts, including for me you interfere issues, right . This is a preventable genocide. Even the eligible side of 2 thousands were, was preventable. And yet again we, im a speaking of interesting community and deliberately reviews the, you know, to the, to a spot that this and so i think it is really not an ignore genocide. It is an abundant genocide. What testing i need from the rhode island bag center and for human rights. Thank you for speaking to us. As thank you very much appreciated africas major cities are growing at an unprecedented rate by the end of the century. Its estimated the team out of the wells 20 largest metrology metropolises will be in africa. But one of the major challenges is how they can cater for people from all economic brackets as an ongoing eviction scandal and every cost economic hub. John shows, development often comes at the expense of the poorest dw, see where to read reports from your football. One of the worst effective neighborhoods, as this is with thousands of people used to live, go to school and run their businesses. But now this on the rebel over the last weeks and months, the government of ivory coast economic capital has get the neighborhoods of over 50000 people. Most of them overnight. This looks like the optimize of an earthquake or hurricane children and families to think through the rubble School Benches turned upside down and personal belongings flying around every route. But its not. This is the result of the governments initiative to develop and clean up. Ill be drawn essentially remove and tie a neighborhood that no longer for the image, the country. So you can only cub wants to put tray and you might be a key to use to live in a small house nearby with the 3 children. Now theyre out on the streets, its the 2nd time she and her family have been forced to leave that home. So i was only going to think out before we came here, we were poor, but at least we had some dignity. Now weve got absolutely nothing. We cant live like this, it was suffering. And the worst of all is that my children no longer go to school. My oldest, she used to go to school here, to demolition and stuff next, thousands of children without. Its not through one school alone to community 2000 kids. This was my school where i studied with my friends dw, spoke to nearly 2 dozen people in several neighborhoods. No one received any financial compensation. No, would they give an alternative shelter the government off . Id be, john did not reply to dw use requests for comments and previous statements. He said, the eclipse own suppose the safety risk proof lots and lands slides, but people, yeah, dont believe thats the true reason behind that displacements. So lets take a column that runs a local and geo that is fighting the evictions. He says the governments campaign is less about security and more about money. Im thank you for that. As long as, while the government says these zones are a safety risk. They already have Companies Lined up to want to invest that the for the money did we talking about the humanitarian catastrophe here . So children are out of school like this prostitution and banditry. Not so you see, the government did a bad job. Why do you disagree with nick . Uh, i must have some sort of a over the last 20 years of each one has more than doubled in size from 3 to over 6000000 people. And like many african cities, it continues to grow. But instead of social housing projects, these neighborhoods will be replaced with with House Commission areas and the water pock amenities and lima into children who are likely never get to enjoy it. And well just wait to see if go to give us miracle. The government of, id be general sense to kill 117 neighborhoods altogether for the cities poor as they may soon be nowhere left to go. Youre watching the w news africa still to come. Its Savannah Savannah allies underway and african nations are slowly gaining a foothold at the opium and bennett. Make their debut this year to african newcomers to the thailand aust extravaganza. Now there might be fresh hold for millions of people affected by Sickle Cell Disease in the us. A new commercially licensed gene therapy has been administered for the 1st time to a patient. It could be a game changer in the fight against this disorder of unusually shaped red blood cells that can disrupt the victims blood flow. This leads to Severe Health complications including chronic pain and organ damage, which can also be life threatening. Of the genetic condition is found around the world, but mainly among people with west or Central African backgrounds. According to the world health organization, 1000 children are born with a disease every day in africa, and the existing treatments can be read and expensive. But lets take a look at how one, uganda and woman is living with the disease and sharing hope. As when bob are on the below is a little go. A parents simply road to off diagnosed with sickle cell anemia up 2 months to them. It meant that child wouldnt be around for long enough to be was above the this to be. They used to be the day to the side the way you have a webcast. So for the day, you have a clue. A mother even referred to as half adult to fibers, so she was left hating herself to then to let you take squarely to them. Yes. So they never thought of me as an important pass and by them, like someone who would grow up or is supposed to get an education to show that tip is that because they use, oh my mother, the people like me dont grow money and we cant go to school have children in the community. But now bob or his parents are proud of that goal to because shes proving them wrong. Shes married and has 3 children assess bone. A son is now 7 and the twin girls came last year age 37. Barbara is still a regular patient of them and body regional hospital, and you can just remote east and highlands, but shes passing on her knowledge of how to live with Sickle Cell Disease. The personal story of survival is often the 1st glimpse of hope and usually diagnosed children and then worried parents. And shes also getting treatment. Hydroxyurea reduces a number of balance of pain and the need to blood transfusions all helping to overcome the stigma. We used to be saw, frustrated, you know, you cant afford shows, they may reach like 12 yards and they get so many complications on even you used to wishing on seeing this, this job. So because of that trauma, hydroxyurea has no ching these, like it improves on the watch on the quality of life of these patients. Eugene therapies of a problem is when was approved in the us last year. Yet, despite the hope now also enough to treat the despair for a single patient cost of treatment, the cost runs into millions of dollars. Joining us now is of the i need not do a professor. Ok, metrology and blood transfusion and the director of the center for Sickle Cell Disease research and training at the university off a booge, a good job you on the program. Profess uh now were looking at the imagines of new treatments for Sickle Cell Disease. Surely this, these developments must inspire hope, considering how long the disease has pulls the threats. Yes, definitely made key. Many people laugh quite excited. You know, just seeking that said that can be too late to use a teeth main for Sickle Cell Disease. Of course weve had the pci borne by root transplantation, you know, for some time, but these treatments are not available to the major receive of people. So its hold on one site that day. So possibility. And then a lot of, uh, uh, you know, just bear, you know, from high budgeting countries because even the evidence based interventions that have been available for some time is not available to major retail for people. We know into adventures such as do by screening at the your, at prophylaxis for infection. High drug for you react remains a basic feedback patient education. These are not available to major retail people so days full or one site, you know, but its like most shots a week before. Feel, oh, when am i going to be able to even dream . You know, we does have t a price tags off of oh, so theyre accessing the visa inside of a shows like gene therapy, any of the important matter with transplantation. One of the challenges you mentioned earlier was that of the cost when he comes to treatment. But im assuming research as well. So what are the practical considerations for implementing these new therapies in a place like nigeria . So, yes, so the go by jean, it directly initiative has actually been considering these over the industry is facing 19. This is a network of people who are called saint. Thats a visa rep is where they become ivy level may not become available to the people with the right High Research people. So theyve not been able to walk, walk out very carefully. Whats what the buyer has, what is it that is driving the cost and most of feeds has to do with manufacturing in a centralized the facility that is the g directly products. And weve been able to find that, that way you manufacture close to the taste of k drive down to cost. So this has happened, this has been carefully walked side by different prices. And the, the tri outside has been the very low present college. You know, you know, in india and at a very low cost of Medical College in india, and theyve been able to do cartoon to arrive fee on that 55000. 00, which is the stock, right . You do from the very high, you know, in the medians, and what has been done, you know, its, uh, can also be wrapped in case i do you guys, uh, uh, is also a dont working out the possibility of doing the try it. Cool. Try. I. So Clinical Trial couldnt be one way of, of getting to bring him down because what pissed off k, you know, manufacture. I mean, did you put drugs at the base of kit is one way you know to drive down, because an at fault is going on in that direction. Is that kind of global consensus . A way that the, the world can, can address this collectively to make sure that there is a, you know, make sure that theres a more accessible treatments to, to the people who need it. As the visual has established has been able to develop a film walk for a treatment st as as the tides of excellence. You know, that was we cannot just say ok, go all the way to gene therapy when the everyday experiences having shows me the things like education is lost in place in my job, reach out to fitness to it. Yes, we can aspire to do gene therapy, but what we know now works now should be available. You know, 2 major retail people buy for recess, drugs and you wrap a blood transmission. All of these things and then just education of people because you know, people cant do well. Patients cant do well if they know well up to my hydration, you know, do you every does reason to have vision and the has each and you know, the Health Care Work as know how to give that is the type of insurance. So we start, you know, from what is available now, and then we work towards those that you receive therapies in the future. Okay. Professor, okay, i got a note of the head of the university of which is a center for Sickle Cell Disease research and training. Thank you very much for your insights. Yeah, youre welcome to italy.
