Thank you thank you very much for having me david also the Security Specialist focusing a lot on africa Central African republic the east of africa and the west of africa so its a great treasure to be here thanks David Malcolm how long have you been covering the Central African republic how would you tell the story of whats happening right now. I mean of the 1st time when there were many years ago and go into orbit in the remote town in eastern there with the ugandan. Or the lords resistance army. This is my 1st time in the last week where. Self was tense but pretty quiet at the moment theres a curfew which is violently enforced people have been shot up being caught out and about just. Minutes after pm so everyones kind of scuffling home by 4 or 5 of the barriers at the edge of the city who are not allowed to pass because just beyond. The armed groups who attacked the week before and said that said that they they want to overthrow the government. So not very conducive for meeting people and ring but we did get speeches of the libyan affected by the flame by me and it did get across the river weve only the capital city on the river there on the other side is the democratic republic of congo the river divides the 2 countries and thats where tens of thousands of people have fled just in the last few weeks. And would have been you know as least of any percentage deeper may now have a listen to an income of that back because had you breaks down what is happening right now to civilians in the Central African republic have a listen have a look let me. Now there are people who have been hiding in the bush because they are scared of future attacks and that means People Living in the most precarious conditions you can think of not having access to clean water and no food no health care and people even washing themselves a no money in one hour with more than half the country relying on a major in assistance armed actors must guarantee seat access for aid workers to reach people in need and the nurse and governments must increase their Financial Support so agencies can respond immediately to humanitarian needs on the ground. Indeed what they have seen and what our teams are telling us from it in people forced to flee is by the same pictures people fleeing violence i didnt hear a thing or shootings heavy weapons seeing armed groups evading villagers so they flee their fear with the very little they can carry more often than not the contrary much they have the clothes on their back and thats a leather and across the border to the neighboring countries and in search of safety of security in search of assistance in the past weeks tens of thousands of crossed the borders from Central African republic to the r. C. Congo at least 80000 of them have crossed of all the border and the river there bunky river another 10000. 00 have crossed. And chad and the situation is a saying the calm with nearly nothing they need food they need water you can see on the pictures that the teams on the ground shot earlier last week people need mosquito net they dont have a shelter the sleep in the open there arriving villages that have very seldom to offer very little water to food and yet they are the 1st one responding to such an ongoing humanitarian crisis and what the previous person certain is perfectly right what we need is human its an access within the Central African republic. Nearly 100000 people are already displaced and still displaced by the violence by the latest violence but what we need to bear in mind is that prior to the violence nearly 600000 people were already displaced within the country we still needed to access them so security will enable us to go and meet those people to deliver most needed important humanitarian assistance david in the fighting thats going on in car after civilians. Or are they being caught in the crossfire. Oh i think directly and indirectly you know still that few punny selfmade very Central African republic ace is in chaos. The rebel groups thats the question for the week. Africans which he said the c. B. C. You know has made it very clear you need so many civilians to target that is not true indirectly several civilians have been called you know in the crossfire even by the forces of. All rosy in the whole. You know the rebel groups. You know so we have a way weve looked at it civilians have become a target of the conflict i mean if you talk about humanitarian situations in center after public you know youre talking about civilians they have corner ability in the crises is the primary concern for everyone and you know no matter how careful you newsman has been the matter how careful. The Russian Forces have been or the run these forces or even the rebels themselves you know you know civilians are fleeing they do not trust the need the government to protect them you know the rule of minas mean its my scenes that 2014 that was primarily to protect civilians but if sudan safely in then it means they come along i connected or it cannot be assured that protection. So the reason that some of the middle east. Or youre saying one of the things you have is that a coalition of armed groups who want to be the next government where you know out of this time never having well this time theyre not hurting civilians and only thing that raping bad i mean that might be true if groups with some of those factions some of the manga have the same. Command structure relatively well trained and disciplined troops this is if you go over the congo were completely different stories civilians is that you know that theyre out set on fire people who dont relatives killed raped all the rest and is out of it but it did. Years ago in 20 that inserting it really seemed in their cases that they had very much being targeted by by the militia to come to their village is just a look at how we have got he politically not not for years and years and years im really just going to look at the last couple of weeks so the reason malcolm are not is here went back to Central African republic ima put it in such African Republic with because of some contested Election Results and let me start here generally the 35 and this is when opposition fun to spectacular. Is the capital of the Central African republic generally the 18th the coup post president went down its an election victory that was a few days after the cost constitutional clear call up help us which was out to the incumbent president zardari is now president and then on january the 21st he imposed a state of emergency which is where we are right now. What is it like what was the atmosphere like when you were there just just last week. When it was tense people were waiting to see if these armed groups would attack again and from everything we understand the. Fighters on the armed groups and completely outnumber the fighting forces that are prepared to defend the city i think it. Is the russian mercenaries and the rwandan troops that do. I think most of the fighting the un peacekeepers are limited by their mandate and i think the Government Army soldiers there are problems often with running away not being paid and so on so the longer a few 100 russians a few 100 rwandans theyre the most effective fighters and the few 1000 hooves who are just outside the city and i think have much heavier weapons than and so some people were turned over worried they didnt know what was going to happen at the same time there were complaints within the city from. Since the election or since the results from the political opposition the civilian political opposition theres been some of a crackdown on the part of the Government People involved in opposition parties have been threatened say theyve been threatened so other people have been disappeared and it seems that the government according to their reports was trying to kind of consolidate. Power by clamping down on dissident voices within the city as well. So gentlemen i did promise now. That they could ask questions so lets start here with jumpy engine p. S. S. Car is in flames and the whole world is watching i wonder what is going on in todays World Leaders who watch the conflict unfolding right in front of their eyes without any reaction remaining im sure that the whole time thoughts. Oh indeed Central African republic has been for the 5th year in a row among the least covered humanitarian crisis in the world live covered it means there was a survey lunch at the end of last year that said there were more article published on playstation released than articles on humanitarian crisis combined understand most neglected crisis so it is happening its happening in silence it has been there for 5 years and sadly synonymous to being under reported is theres little funding quite often that means we have to to ask for more funding when i have to ask for more resources as we are able to deliver the most needed humanitarian assistance and here we talking about water were talking about food were talking about shelter shelter its a tent talking about a mosquito net a match to sleep on when youre skiing in the bush and thats all you have with you the clothes and if youre lucky thats the family that managed to follow you so yes the world is watching and indeed we having a lot of support from the neighboring countries to stop whats the r. C. D. I mean some of you as well coming on. The ground heard talking about what they describe the donor fatigue with regards to you know the crisis you know especially after what happened 8 years ago and they thought the more they wont get enough resources now because they felt that donor governments had you know fairly theyve put money into this it hasnt been solved it is kind of repeating itself you know seemingly and they said that they thought was part of the reason why they were lacking the resources to to do what they really need to do is really go back to egypt yes very briefly and then ask if you prefer sponsors basically a lot of questions thank you for inspiring them all right malcolm very quickly what did the rebels want. It clearly want to take power were trying to communicate with them a few times we didnt manage to get through to anybody. In a position of authority who could could have elaborated on a question. By former president sarkozys a little so a lot of. The suspicions that they have on the region or other people think that we believe that france is backing them francis said that its kind of days of military involvement there are kind of pretty much over and is in is not backing these this coalition of armed groups to i guess whats at stake for whoever does control the country or the government or the various parts of the country is Mineral Resources significant gold and diamond wealth theres also uranium. And i think thats one of the things youve got to consider thats what the essence of this conflict is probably about is not i guess that i think the people that live there are very much victims you know in a fight between bigger powers possibly powers from outside whether thats russia and france or charged or whoever whoever it may be involved but its a competition intra troll alley and access to that is not true of the us isnt it that this is what people are called up in the middle of. Yeah i think i think you know michael youre right but also youve got to look at it from the the angle of that the. Rhetorical that the rebels want to take power base you know its its one of those things which is being promoted sent on the social media that you know they they dont really want to take power if you look of the some of the discussions that and the statements that have been put by the kincaid which is the quantock party of expresident fronts up was easy theyve made it very clear that you know they you know because they couldnt draw on a you know a president ial candidate for the 2020 lections they want to make sure that nobody owes you know after public they know that its impossible for the rebels to take power because of the presence of so many. Forces in sindh in benghazi youve called russia there. Youve kosovo to run these forces so i think what the rivers want to achieve you know ace you know if nobody can and if they cannot you know be involved in the policy extent nobody else will be and that is why you see a continuation of the inability of the government to control any area. Fully outside of benghazi i mean the you know. Came up to the end said you know they have 40 percent control of the country that you know it is not true that they theyve lost 3 quarters of the country and that shows you eve if misguided struggling to put up with this image that you know they have 40 percent of the country so this is duration is quite in a way that requires you know look more attention than just funding to be honest so let me just bring in bruce bieber into most conversation because were talking about politics and relationships between groups and the United Nations mean any International Community what are they doing and then he is bruce beeper and his team trying to just get the wounded into hospital how many some to brace for the back. The most urgent is. Reach. d the proper treatment. And. These places places where he has place. That this right. To treat is to be treated as being active. To ensure that proper measures are taken. And proper care for the it. But. I think you know i just wanted to jump in there very quickly before you know michel it comes in that that to be honest with you if you look at what has been happening a study elections most of that would that have come from the that the Government Forces or the rebel fighters you know weve had very few casualties from from the civilian population and im sure that my opponent is stuck open it is we agre
