But which has thousands of fighters is vowing to fight to the death news of the new campaign is raising concerns for civilians in there if the turkish army enters back by russian planes they have committed a massacre a few days ago in our midst that is for sure and acceptable to me and to any muslim who rejects the presence of those in our country. The russians are the first and last anomie of the Syrian People are backing Bashar Al Assad how can they be supporting the Syrian People. The new push by turkey comes after an agreement with russia and iran last month to set up a deescalation zone in. The turkish army will be operating in the city while the russians will be deployed outside of the province it is one of four deescalation zones the others are the askers of the capital damascus or the border with jordan a lot of parts of homes.

The army and democratic republic of congo says rebel fighters of ambushed a bus and attacked the villages in the countrys east its unclear how many have been killed in the fighting which took place in the beni territory in north kivu province Security Forces blame the attack on ugandan rebels called the ally the Democratic Forces or the a. D. F. Well al jazeera is malcolm webb joins us live now from vienna thats in the best of the country. Give a little bit of an overview tell us a little bit more about whats actually happening on the ground. We heard of the fighting is still going on right now but this started yesterday afternoon saturday afternoon when the attackers the rebels ambushed a bus reportedly can really killing civilians inside it as well as wishing several other road users and killing them a local m. P. Said that he thought at least thirty people have been killed and the mayor of benny said eyewitnesses who the skate survivors it escaped from the violence said they saw these attackers killing civilians with machetes after ambushing road users the Army Spokesman told us that theyd attacked four military posts in the army had been engaged with a fight in a fight with them ever since right up until now and just remind us a little bit or tell us more about the allied Democratic Forces the a. D. F. Why they exactly. They were all youve got the rebel group who were defeated by the ugandan government in the ninety nine season and then at that point fled to eastern congo and been holed up in the eastern congo ever since but in twenty fourteen they suffered a major defeat by the Congolese Army the army since then blame them for a series of massacres that have happened around the town of burnie about seven hundred people have been killed since twenty four seeing typically in attacks that happen at night villages a killed civilians are killed and then the attackers disappear the army says that this is the idea that Rights Groups and researches dispute that they say its not the i. D. F. That the attackers come from a mixture of different places villages say they speak sometimes congolese languages or even languages from neighboring uganda and rwanda and some people allege that there are actually factions of the army involved but thats something that the army denies and malcolm of course it was meant to be an election in the r. C. F. Think last year we got postponed for a variety of reasons how is that connected to the violence that were seeing now. Whichever conflict across congo seem to have got worse since that preselection president ial election was meant to happen in december the government said it couldnt afford to run an election didnt have the resources that opposition say president Joseph Kabila is simply trying to stay in power on the end of his second constitutional term something he hasnt spoken about and self in the Electoral Commission say theyre trying to organize an election maybe for later this year possibly the following year but there are a number of people that we speak to here think that there are people that dont want the election to happen actually benefit from an increased state of conflict in congress or the motive among certain groups or factions to china escalate these conflicts at the moment the International Community has expressed concern that not having elections could bring congo back to the kind of level of conflict that was seen here in the late one nine hundred ninety eight in the early two thousand when several neighboring countries were also involved and there was what was called africas world war there though the concern is that without any democratic process that kind of violence could return which would of course be a tragedy malcolm web with the latest from all of us thank you.
