About this attack catherine take us through the details what do you know about understand what took place there. Well what were hearing is that this attack happened early in the morning in this area called about 30 kilometers from beni town but it is within that wider venue region so this attack came to this village with machetes. The military Congolese Military has confirmed that this attack belonged to this group called a. D. F. That you mentioned were also hearing from officials from the main hospital. That 15 bodies have been taken to the morgue theyre badly mutilated some of these bodies had been decapitated as well and this stand just goes to amplify what weve been talking about all day and the prostrations that are being raised by people in beni. You know all these killings all these attacks that are happening when theyre really the ongoing offensive against the a. D. F. By Government Troops when the president on monday also arise a joint Operation Joint you when. You when you end Government Troops operation against a. D. F. And its also important to note in the last 3 weeks the offensive against the government started last month in the last 3 weeks of being told about 1000 people have been killed so people invent justifiably they are very angry because in the u. N. Is not protecting them the government is not protecting them theyve been chanting saying that if you cannot protect us leave us to protect ourselves its just it is not that the u. N. Is just not protecting them but now there appears to be evidence that a u. N. Team shortened to one of the protesters what do you tell us about that investigation. Well we have just spoken to a spoke the spokesperson of Morning School at the u. N. Mission a messiah skillman who confirms that this investigation is going on he said are they investigating this evidence that a peacekeeper on tuesday shot artist a protester who has died but he also says theyre also investigating reports that these protesters are actually up tempted to hurl a petrol bomb at the peacekeepers so thats where the investigation is that its going on he said that very soon theyre going to have more information on what they have gathered asking people to maintain some calm for the situation to be contained they say yes they understand the frustrations of the people of money in what is going on but also with the security situation small volatile its just going to be complicated father if people start are talking the u. N. But stan the people of benny are very angry theyre saying that this has been going on for years a. D. F. Is this really is this one of the oldest rebel groups in the r. C. C. But then its very little known we dont know whos finding them we dont know what their membership is or what the structure is or even what theyre fighting for really it started in uganda where they were fighting for religious inclusion but that has since changed in there been a lot of operations against the group over the years but people are seeing fight is still coming out and killing them so theyre saying whats going on we need this to change right now. Thank you katherine most catherine was just saying there is this u. N. Investigation now into a peacekeeper shooting did one of the protesters lets discuss this further with francois greene your who is the deputy special representative at the u. N. Mission in the d c and he joins us now from benny via skype its good to have you with us i want to go 1st of all to this investigation into the u. N. Peacekeeper can you tell us any more can you confirm now that in fact a peacekeeper it did shoot did one of the protesters. Yeah thats a report that we have is one of our peacekeepers showed that a protester was throwing molotov cocktails at them at the peacekeepers so we are still in the process of very trying all the facts and Fact Checking the ripples we have received but this is indeed the circumstances that we understand took place yesterday this is very different to what the u. N. Was saying just 24 hours earlier because the u. N. Had been denying that any of its any of its peacekeepers had fired on the protesters it was denying that any live rounds were used and now youre telling me that yes one of the peacekeepers did shoot dead one of the protesters why are we getting mixed signals here. I dont think youre receiving mixed signals i think we are sharing information as we are ourselves updating you know the facts and confirming whats happening very very strict orders are being given to the peacekeepers to our troops not to use lethal weapons against protectors but they are facing and they were facing yesterday a very difficult situation so we established you know that an incident did happen that there was indeed a shoot out and one of our peacekeepers shot a protester. Throwing a lot of cocktail so this is you know we are updating the information and we havent we i immediately looking into an investigation to check exactly whether the rules of engagement were followed appropriately and what happened but you need to understand that we have and counters with very angry crowds and while we have demonstrators who are you know very emotional about the killings taking place against civilians it seems that fuel groups have also been many police to aggressively attack and its consistent with a campaign of disinformation and lies which are spreading on social media about the activities of the mission. And he says in difficult situations we are facing you would understand too would you say that now youre telling me that the un peacekeepers shot dead one of the protestors this goes precisely to the anger that were seeing among the people of benny who are saying that the u. N. Is not protecting them so what is going wrong here. What is going wrong is that were in a situation where the mission is used as keep good for explaining and answering the anger and despair of the civilian population you referred earlier on to a very you know theres not any incidents whereby another 13 civilians were killed in iraq chiefly you know distant area out of show in the northern part of the binney area im here i came here following the meeting between the president president has a kitty an hour special representative to be able to Work Together with the National Army with the police to strengthen our security set up to increase protection on civilians this is the only way that we are going to make progress and i would see counter these current wave of violence disease by working together and working with the population to be able to prevent you know these offenses there is no other way so indeed its very unfortunate and quite dramatic that this incident took place you know we are going to look into it we are going to look into the precise circumstances and we need to confirm every detail interview all the actors but at this point im a see what we need to do is we need to change these dynamic n. Re store dialogue and the requirement is really for us to be able to you know work with the population to protect them and then to work with the authorities and the National Army now this is the biggest Un Peacekeeping operation in the world youve been there for 2 decades you know its cold no its not its not as among. The biggest among the biggest youve been there for a long period of time youre working with the Congolese Forces and yet were still seeing the idea of being able to carry out attacks that carry out attacks just again this day what is the strategy Going Forward to try to bring security to protect the people and be able to deal with the i. D. F. Which is still able as i say to carry out attacks almost on a daily basis. The idea of brings together different criminal gangs which are all the nice to control trafficking their rocket hearing the population some of them mind the forest but they have networks of support outside the forest into the towns and they are really you know a network of criminal gang with a lot of presence are all over the place so its quite difficult to uproot you know this movement which has been indian present for a long time currently we have had a National Offensive against the bases of the a. D. F. In the forest and to undermine these military offensive the attacking civilians and killing civilians in the bases where you have villages and of course trying to. Mobilize and you know all among the population against those who are supposed to protect them then those who are working together we defeat r. D. C. To try and change the situation so we are indeed in the middle of a very difficult situation. There is no easy solution and its not going to happen quickly im afraid that you know any quick anybody trying to sell any quick quick fix will be lying to the population there is no alternative to us working through sleep together with the if in r. D. C. With the National Police and with the population to uproot and arrest those who are members of the a. D. F. Who are members of the of those criminal gangs and to end their presence in the area of binny once and for all for us appreciate you having a short time on always obviously a very busy day 5th ank you thank you.

Coalition says its easing restrictions to allow yemens Main International airport to be partially reopened the sunnah airport has been closed since 2016 the Coalition Says patients in need of medical care can be flown out with cooperation from the World Health Organization another airport in the Eastern Province of had remote has also received its 1st commercial flight in 4 years it was shot in 2015 after al qaeda took over the area on tuesday the saudi u. A. E. Coalition said its released 200. 00 fighters in a prisoner swap last week the rebels released 2 south korean and one saudi vessel that they captured along the red sea this comes months after the drone attacks on Saudi Aramco Oil facilities in september which cut its Oil Production by half with him and civil war has destroyed almost half of its hospitals so the reopening of sana airport is critical for patients in desperate need of help as mohamed explains from sun. I have talked to Senior Officers here and but the the the told me that. They have just heard this news about the reopening of this and on to National Airport but on the ground there is no complete mation and. Many officers are hoping that the International Airport will be off and especially for those who need for Urgent Medical interventions road especially human. A lot of people have died because they havent been able to travel outside of yemen according to the ministry of health. The report says that over 45000 people have died just. Over the past year. A lot over 200000 patients are on the last waiting for the chance to travel outside yemen. The situation is difficult for those who are in need of. Medical interventions outside yemen especially the more than 45 percent of the countrys hospitals have been. Have been paralyzed because of the war and also because of the direct attacks well it is a visiting professor at the middle east institute at the National University of singapore and he joins us from being now its good to have you with us i want to get a bigger perspective here on what we might be seeing of course the opening of this airport comes as negotiations and talks have been continuing through the saudis and the truth is does this lead you to think that we are getting to the point where they may be a negotiated settlement to the end of this conflict. Thank you very much i think what we have with the saying here is. That the method. That the marquis. Come to a conclusion that there is an old military end of this conflict and i think there have been arts showing all of them going a sign that the only way out is as has always been a peaceful negotiation and i think the illusion that i was in the end what i think now start it will be like that and it started with all directly and before that in directly with the. And it seems that they want to bring the whole conflict to an end this is a conflict that has really caused it. Not only yemen in terms of tens of thousands of People Killed women and children and. Im. Not full of hot men one of the out of the if you like one of the words got out thats according to the United Nations in the region but its been very costly for the Coalition Government that is in saudi arabia and the un but so i think now with the and all with the challenges that facing economically and the need to stop this war and just on that the cost to the saudis and the fatigue that has said he and im just wondering to what extent the attacks on the the saudi Oil Facilities might also have factored into this that as long as this conflict goes on the capacity of the who these to be able to continue the fight and to potentially strike inside saudi arabia have also had to see to these talks. You know youre absolutely right i think not only the wealthy but i would accept sean that theyre out of morally silly and then lets initially expected them they thought they were going to be overrun in weeks or months but they have shown that their. Children. Would be kind of pretty there and well see how the outer space they have been. Going all of the really giving some devastating to feel like a lot all of the side of the Critical Infrastructure and i think its as you mentioned you know the oil the oil fields and book and the peace. That basically took almost 50 percent of the south with the. Reduction of flying and i think the saudis they like that the longer this this conflict continual the more costly and not just in terms of. Military confrontation and the cost of flying to intercept the. The attacks in the midst of from the whole the but also there are going to live for us the. Thought to be exposed and or the aunts and all the spending that they have done in the past by you know you out of that and out of. Them in this regard professor appreciate your analysis thank you so much for joining us whats what thank you for ya nigga lindys the secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council which has been working in yemen for 7 years t. Says its a long road ahead to fix yemens medical system destroyed by the war. This is a rare glimpse of hope in a in a desperate war situation. For years weve asked for airport to be reopened for these medical flights but also for other commercial and civilian flights this is a place where we always had to send patients out of the country because they couldnt care for the worst and most complicated medical treatments then the airport was closed at the same time as the medical systems in yemen lapsed so yes thousands die in unnecessary and for those who opens over but for many patients there is now hope that they can get abroad and get treatment World Health Organization will now be coordinating this with the government of yemen and i hope that this medical efforts will start you know imminently but of course the whole medical system needs to be rebuilt
