welcome to the play. now we just saw in the report a young man that's hoping for the end of the ongoing conflict, but what is really behind the long last intentions between the d r c. and we wonder if, thanks for having me. it's a, it's a long lasting issue that actually goes back to the general side in 1994 in rhonda . we're on groups particularly the armed forces of rhonda, are you located in d, r c and adelaide to the collapse if you will. the of a trophy, the movie to regime and eventually cause this political congo into 3 areas of inference. one, influenced by uganda, which email c on the jumpy of member one influenced by rhonda with the r c d, what they call a some remarkably plot democracy. and then of course, the 3rd part was controlled by the kinshasa regime after the peace process that took place in 2003 and arm groups are fine ongoing, were supposed to leave the country, the r a, c, d, a transform into a political branch, meaning the political party did not do well in the election, and eventually some of the, some of the old element of the r a, c, d creator able movement called the c and d p. if a fellow name laquonda, if you remember that, then the r a c d in 2009 ed to collapse and more into a political party. laquonda had been arrested or taken into rhonda wasteland house arrest. and then some of the troops on the r a, c, d, i from the c and d p became they were integrating. the call is army and had a peace deal. the march 23 peace deal. that's where the name m. 23 today comes from . ok, some of the soldiers then decided the peace process did not work for them. and it took up arms and became the m $23.00. can you tell us who exactly are they and what did they want? the m 23. our soldiers will claim that they were not fully integrated into communities army. and now do want to, we negotiate that deal and we integrated communities army. they also claimed that they are taking up arms to protect the rhonda and king o'rando speaking. people in easton d, i see, well, unfortunately, an innocent people are caught in the crossfire. so something must be done about the situation. but a day after the president of congo in rwanda agreed to deescalate diplomatic tensions. the m 23 attacked again, the rubber, the rubber gib says it is not bound by a ceasefire, as no one negotiated with them. so what must be done to end the conflict? what must be done is a full comprehensive piece process between the d r c and rwanda. they are lot of grievances that have just been longstanding. we cannot have peace without a cost piece comes at the price comes at the political price. in other words, the, the shipping both the r c and rhonda have to explain to the people, what are you trying to achieve and why and get the legitimacy of the people behind this deal. b, it's need to bring that to the, for all the grievances in the case of the r c. they need an international tribunal . they want, they need truth and reconciliation in case of rhonda n, b r c. they need to bring to the, for all the grievances that rhonda has all the grievance is that the d r c has and then hammer those out in the way that germany and france did in 1945.

alternative to the shortage of wheat? well, in been in some have switched to planting flowers instead. demand for the cook and banana as high it's a busy harvest period in the fields, just outside port on over city in burnett. plant it is now in high demand. so as you'll see, an order new needs to source as much as she can. the plant in is sorted cut and then dried before it is ground into flour. a fairly straightforward process. but the media were you there. at the beginning, i produced about 20 kilos per month. this good to the other because at 1st i dried the project selling in the sun there. yesterday. i mean after that i bought a small dehydration here which allows me to produce better quality flour. on her dim and not a day, i have a bigger dehydrates her and my produce has increased. they are open monday, my pool this year. and at this rate, the growth of her business is likely to continue. as more people tend to plant in for flaw due to the scarcity of wheat. well that in her mom, well aligned with unity, the generally we use wheat, which comes from abroad. you to go after layla kelly's now that there's this crisis in ukraine, left out under blue, wheat flour is becoming hard to find in markets. me was i will abandon so, so expensive dinner. there we go. we have been on is plant tains at our disposal law. we can produce it bananas and so that's why planting flower has value and that value makes it 3 times more expensive than wheat flour. but it's available. it's gluten free and proving to be an able substitute so far, getting the thumbs up from bakers a bad battery with a plant and flour. we can make pies cake, a lot of things. a magazine, b radical plantings already a staple in west and central africa. and its versatility is coming in handy at a crucial time. it could be an important option for food and business, both in benet and beyond. you're watching did of the news africa still to come? the grow and elephants population in zimbabwe is a threat to some locals because 45 people have been killed by the gentle giants so far this year. unless 1st hand to nigeria, where more than 18000000 children out of school. that's according to unicef.

like legal incessant attacks and schools by criminal gangs, and must have doctors or students by bandits has largely affected school in, in them off since vocal her on terrorists, abducted over 200 school girls in north eastern town of tobac, bruno state in 2014 dozens of other schools have been targeted units. so says last year alone, about a $1500.00 students were kidnapped by gunmen. the insecurity is a big, big problem that we have to overcome and that must be looked at for the children's sake, it's criminal. the bandits are allowed to go into school. kidnap 300 girls, an escape and not meet justice. the crime on those girls is unimaginable and then must be addressed. nigeria is feasel, an education crisis that if not address urgently, will have a severe impact in the future. and on educate a generation could further disturbing those. the country major is going through a demographic bulge. so in 10 years time you have more young people in the, in the workforce. if they are
