"inside story", thanks for watching, i'm ray suarez. ♪ >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ welcome to the news hour i'm rochelle in doha and coming up in the next 60 minutes iraq's army launches military operation to take anbar province from i.s.i.l. a month after attacking a university in northeast kenya al-shabab returns to the area to target police forces. latest on the mass graves found in malaysia and our reporter is at the scene. green peace under throat in

india as the government cracks down on foreign funded ngos. ♪ iraq launched a military operation to retake anbar from i.s.i.l. and some fear could raise sectarian tensions and anbar is mostly sunni province in the west and i.s.i.l. took control of ramadi the province and capitol last week sending iraqi troops running. ramadi lies just 115 kilometers from the capitol baghdad and we are hearing that three suicide car bomber have blown up a military convow southwest and we are on the anbar province to bring us the latest on this and what do you know? >> the bombings are in a village

where the army convow was going cast and hearing at least 25 soldiers have been killed in that attack it's a very typical attack by i.s.i.l. we have seen the car bombs before. if you remember when they went into ramadi just last week they used fix car bombs and security forces and were able to enter the city that way. we are expecting to see a lot more of these kinds and it's one of the most effected weapons that i.s.i.l. has. >> what else can you tell us about the attempts the offensive rather to take back anbar province? >> well it's likely to begin in ramadi and particularly the roads leading to ramadi and the villages and the smaller towns on the outskirts for those and iraqi forces and they can go in and use it as a launching point in ramadi and it's a long battle

and not over easy and you have to remember that i.s.i.l. controls a border crossing into iraq from syria so they are likely to bring in more fighters if they need be and also hearing for over a week they have been masking troops and that is true for the forces and they have been at an air base in preparation for the offensive and coalition air strikes on the i.s.i.l. targets and it's gearing up to be like this but nothing decided quickly, it will take a while to do and we hear they are moving into various different areas and like i said it's all about taking control of the roads and the smaller towns anvild villages before they take the larger cities in ramadi and fallujah. >> on the outskirts of anbar province and i'm joined by the london school of economics and

we expect your time so much. so are the iraqi forces capable of retaking anbar? >> well this remains to be seen. i think the first step as your correspondent said is to secure the line of supplies and retake some roads, main roads and major villages strategic cities of anbar. if they are successful in this drive i think they will be able to retake anbar or ramadi center but if they fail in this drive i think it will be very difficult for them to do anything. >> what role do the iraqi people play in this? >> well the main forces are civilian forces or civilian malitias or they call them tribal forces of the anbar, of

the anbar province because the army has proved that it was unable and uncapable of defending the land or defending the areas that they were in. so i think it's mostly popular rather than armed forces. >> what role does the u.s. play in this? >> well i think all these catastrophes are because of the united states' invasion and destruction of iraq and desolvement of the army in 2003 and they have not built anything in iraq and left iraq without creating a real democratic or stable government and now they are unwilling to go inside because they say that they are unwilling to sacrifice their people but they were willing to sacrifice their people in 2003 to destroy iraq without anybody asking them. they are not supporting the iran forces in the right way.

air coverage is not that effective. air strikes as mr. mccain himself said are not that effective. >> so do you think there should be u.s. ground troops? >> well i should think not only that i should think the united states should do whatever it has in its power in order to restore the iraqi state and stability and security in this country. >> all right, before i let you go one final question thats that caused a lot of uproar in the past couple days is defense ash carter saying iraqi people saying or iraqi forces rather who do not have the will to fight, how damaging is that type of rhetoric back and forth between the iraqis and the u.s.? >> well, this was a source of -- i mean criticism and counter criticism by the iraqi government and the united states

anti racky government is not satisfied with this declaration. mr. biden yesterday tried to play down this declaration and said that the iraqi army and our forces are fighting and have the capability. but i think to blame the iraqis for what is happening is unfair because as i said it was something created by the united states and they have done nothing or they haven't done the right job and that is not done. >> professor with the london school of economics, thank you very much. >> thank you. activists say several people have been injured after syrian government plane dropped six barrel bombs on the refugee camp and it lies south of the capitol of damascus is home to 6,000 palestinian refugees and i.s.i.l. fighters attacked the camp last month. the syrian government allegedly

continues to use barrel bombs against civilian targets defying a u.n. resolution to stop their use. the somali armed group al-shabab says it killed 25 police officers in the east of the countries and fighters ambushed the policemen north of the town but there are conflicting reports on the exact number of those killed and let's get the latest from catherine who is on the phone in duba in south sudan so what information have we been able to decipher that is actually catherine? >> this is all bizarre on behalf of the government. let me run you through what has been happening in the communication messages from different parts of the government. in the morning a police spokesman said 13 police officers were missing after an attack. then attack on the president's account and families of police

officers killed trying to protect kenya court that is what they state then a little after the interior cabinet secretary tweeted saying only one police officer was injured and the rest and the president said it was updated apologizing and saying this and they warning with the confusion and a lot of questions being asked and this doesn't look very good for the government. >> catherine tell us a little bit more about this back and forth between al-shabab and police forces mroorly since the attack on the university that left 148 people dead. >> absolutely. the government has been trying really hard to down play al-shabab's attacks, al-shabab's

presence in the country. the government says it has been in control and this is an incident where we put it in light and again it's put into question the security responses on such incidents and it's not the only incident that has happened happened. as you mentioned there are people killed in the last week in the general area alleged al-shabab members stormed in and for three hours went against the government and came into the president in somalia and ran off in the bushes again last week. another group of al-shabab members took a village and told al-shabab was there and the government denies this particular incident but confirms that security forces had indeed forced an attack in that area. some of these places they are

talking about are quite far and had to reach and it was quite worrying how easy it is with al-shabab how easy it is for them to get out of the country or to gain access to some of the areas so freely. >> all right, catherine live for us from south sudan, thank you. gunmen attacking a police headquarters in the southern afghanistan. 13 policemen and 7 soldiers have already been killed in this siege and now zaad in the helman province and the police chief appealed for immediate help from the afghan government and jennifer glasse has more from kabul. >> reporter: afghan officials tell us that fighting is going on in three areas of the province of afghanistan. and nowzad the standoff has been particularly difficult going on for many hours, the taliban

taking at least three army checkpoints and surrounding the district headquarters at least 20 army and police have been killed so far in that attack. local officials have called to reenforcements and the interior ministry say they sent them but it's hard to get updates from there because the phone system seems to be down in the area and that is the latest in the series of attacks. there is a siege going on in kandahar with gunmen on the roof and surrounded by afghan forces and have killed one woman so far in wordak province we saw four suicide gunmen attack the local kourtsz -- courts with two gunmen and there are sporadic clashes between forces and taliban who are in many of the villages of the city and we have seen in some of those areas local people taking up arms and fighting against the taliban because the afghan forces just

aren't in place. the afghan forces in this spring fighting season which is just about a-month-old right now under tremendous pressure from the taliban in 11 provinces across afghanistan in the last 24 hours particularly a large number of attacks across the country. government leaders in burundi say they will not vow to international criticism of the president's bid for a third term and protesters against the president has been killed after police opened fire in the province. protesters spreading to more areas of the capitol. our reporter harry is in one of those areas. >> reporter: tuesday started off dramatically. this area is and has been tense. people were on the streets protesting. the police came in with guns and tear gas to protect themselves and people picked up rocks and started throwing them on the streets and people opened fire and used tear gas and got the upper hand but people came back

and put cars there a long the roads to protect themselves and this is how they stopped the police coming in on foot or using vehicles to come in areas of their neighborhoods and it's tense and people are going to keep protesting and say they don't want the president to run for a third term and he is under mounting international pressure not to run for the third term which is unconstitutional and the people say they will stay on the streets until he announces he is not going to hang on to power and right now he sl adamant and telling people that don't want him to stay he is not going anywhere. people escaping burundi including vulnerable children with no one to look after them and some are leaving the capitol and taking a boat across the lake to the small town in tanzania and we have the story. >> reporter: boarding boats to get away from fighting in burundi as they can. among the estimated 50,000 who

have traveled to tanzania in the last month. many are children who have lost their parents. like 16-year-old maria and after they landed in tanzania she and her two siblings were taken to the stadium for shelter. >> translator: security situation in our country is getting worse everyday we have no parents and nobody to protect us. people were killed or beaten up and the reason why we decided to leave. >> reporter: 1200 unaccompanied children have been registered in this camp alone. >> this is largely a crisis facing children. 83% of the population on the move that had been registered in tanzania are children. >> reporter: cholera is a problem and 30 people died in the past two weeks and aid groups racing to provide sanitation medical supplies and

psychological care. >> unicef is deploying on the ground 30 social welfare officers trained in child protection for identification documentation and the identification of care options for these children. >> reporter: while they seek shelter here the refugees say they have little faith in finding a peaceful solution back home. burundi has had a turbulent past of tension and mass killings. for many of the refugees this is not the first time they have been the victim of violence back home, her parents killed by malitias when she was just nine years old old, she and other refugees want to do what they can to make a new life in tanzania because they have little reason to return home. erica woods, al jazeera. plenty more news still ahead in the news hour including meet the rohingyas who managed to

florence what did you see there? >> reporter: right so we went to the jungle camp and it's close to the thai border 500 meters from the thai border on the hill and also a really steep difficult climb and it's 400 meters above sea level and it was abandon and by the time they found it it had been abandon and the structure had fell apart and big enough to hold people and one structure looked like it may have been a double story structure. we saw traces of human activity. there was one cubic meter watertank indicating whoever ran those camps probably thought they were going to be there for quite some time or were there for quite sometime and there was cure tinel's and crockery in a pit in the ground and about 200 meters from that camp there was a burial site.

around that camp they found about 37 suspected graves. today they were working to exhume the bodies of one of those graves and we saw the forensic team at work. it was a very shallow grave they were digging at 40-50 centimeters in depth and after digging they found remains wrapped in a cloth or shroud or buried with muslim rights. having seen the camps and burial sites you really are able to picture the conditions these migrants and refugees were held in because by now we know this is how it operates, bring people in some southern thailand and traffic them through the border with northern malaysia and these people are held in camps until their families and family members can pay an ransom and seeing the camps today we are able to understand what sort of conditions they were held in.

>> all right, florence just back from the awful scene where so many bodies have been found, lawrence thank you so much. andrea is with the prevention of genocide and joins us from oslo today and we appreciate your time ms. gilman and we know your staff, you have met and talked with the rohingya muslims and what do they tell you about what they are going through? >> we at the simon scott center talked with rohingya displaced from their homes and suffered violence and persecution for decades and they all told us about how the living situation in myanmar in western myanmar had become so unlivable. the people we spoke to expressed so little hope in the future and that is why we think we are seeing so many rohingya risking their lives and becoming subject to trafficking because they are so desperate to flee.

just from speaking with people we heard so many common patterns, people talking about the physical segregation of their minority group from other groups talking about how they had been denied on purpose humanitarian assistance including necessary medical care and denial of voting rights. we heard so many stories from people who just expressed so much desperation at the current situation >> who is responsible for stopping this for lessening the suffering of these people? >> well we asked that question to many people in rakind state who had been forced from their homes and really struggling to get by. they all pointed to the government of myanmar, to the national government. they said all of these policies the statelessness that is forced upon rohingya, all of the discrimination, that all comes from the central government. they said if the central

government had the political will to change the situation for rohingya and restore their rights they could do so immediately. and then it's incumbent i think upon the international community and upon other countries to help the government as myanmar but really change must come from within. >> so at this rate of people that are trying to escape that are losing their lives, what could the future possibly be for these families? >> i think that it's a very sad point. the people we spoke with had so little hope that things could improve but what we are seeing now i think is a turning point so now if there is a strong international response to rescue those at sea, to provide safe homes for those in need who are too fearful to go back where they would face persecution or violence in myanmar and if the government in myanmar responded to international pressure and

addressed the under lying problems of statelessness and discrimination and violence against the minority group this could be a turning point where things do improve. but the u.s. holocaust museum and in reporting we indicated all symbols of oppression together formed early warning signs of genocide but it doesn't have to be that way if there are strong assertive actions now from the government of myanmar in partnership with other regional actors to truly address the root causes of the situation. >> andrea with the simon scott center with prevention of genocide and thank you for joining us from oslo. >> thank you. and for decades ethnic rohingya had been persecuted in myanmar and we report from new zealand and for some who escaped years ago have found better lives. >> reporter: these rohingya men and families have come a long way and been through a lot and he and his brother escaped from

myanmar 20 years ago and after working in thailand and malaysia were granted residency in new zealand but the people they left behind are never far from their thoughts. >> it's like they are living in the open space prison so they have no rights to go out. they have no rights to study. >> reporter: if they had stayed in myanmar in their how home time in rokind state with four of their brothers and sisters in camps. since 2012 more than 100,000 people mainly rohingya muslims have been forced from their houses because of attacks led by buddhists and cannot go back home. there has been tension for decades but it hit the headlines because of refugees escaping in boats and earlier this month researchers from the u.s. holocaust museum went to myanmar and found what they termed early warning signs of genocide. >> we are talking about the 1948 u.n. convention on genocide and

what that talks about specifically is group targeted violence and targeting a population based upon their religious, ethnic or national characteristics. >> reporter: others agree and believe there appears to be enough evidence to take legal action against the government and individuals. >> there needs to be urgent political action and direct ramifications to myanmar in terms of the change so i'm not just talking about dealing with the people who are fleeing now but in terms of a long-term strategy. >> there is no doubt in the minds of ali his friends and family who believe those still in myanmar are in a lot of danger. this is a big test for the international community, not just for man mar's neighbors in southeast asia who have traditionally been reluctant to criticize each other but western nations who rushed to engage with the government of myanmar

41 is high in the low 30s and why it's deadly for these are not the highest temperatures around. in northwest india and pakistan we have been higher still. in fact, we approached the 50 mark in southern pakistan and in the north and beyond up in the low 40s and the biggest difference here of course and why it's not quite so news worth think is 10-18% and it's bearable and happy note and good for tourism in the north it has been snowing once again and you may think that is fine in the mountains but it's rare this time of the year even in the mountains and luckily it's on its way out but the heat stays with us. still ahead on al jazeera you meet the smugglers who go fishing for fuel off the beaches of togo and in sport after sacking their coach who will be the next person to sit in madrid

on smuggling it across the border and making huge profits and we report from the capitol rome. >> reporter: these containers are filled with fuel from nigeria and boats arrive nearly everyday. the smugglers throw the containers overboard and the tide brings them in. this is the beach on the border and the fuel smuggling business here is thrving and we are filming in secret and they come from all over to smuggling it and sell it on the roadside and bike riders are the main customers and it's the way most people get around in togo. on a good day this seller says he can take home $40. he doesn't want us to show his face. >> translator: i know it's illegal but if it weren't for this maybe i would be in the

streets or a dweller, my life would be meaningless, good for nothing, at least now i focus on my own business. >> reporter: his customers tell us it's not gist because of the price that he buys from the roadside roadside. >> translator: the fueling stations treat you i prefer to buy from the roadside because i can see the amount of fuel i'm getting for my money. >> reporter: this is how many people buy fuel it's cheaper than going to the filling station and from time to time the police come and seize all the sellers' goods but it doesn't deter them. one of them says it's also about convenience because in some parts of the country it's hard to find a fuel station. >> translator: from the border there are no fuel stations and if you run out of fuel you have to push it to the border town for fueling and along the road people are selling fuel and go to some districts and villages in the interior of the country

and you will not see a fuel station at all. >> reporter: he says the government needs to build more fuel stations or needs to regulate the sellers so they operate safely and can pay tax. that is an idea that sellers do not like and say in the absence of other legitimate work they would rather stay on the ground and make money this way, i'm with al jazeera. let's go live now to benga chairman of license and telecommunicaters of nigeria and we appreciate your time very much so tell me how this crisis has been affecting your industry, the telecommunications industry. >> thank you for having me. it's been difficult running most of our sites and there is no adequate public power supply on the national grid. the number of sites run on diesel fuel and it has been difficult in the last days to keep alive most of those sites,

in particular the sites that we call krit sites which are providel links to that part of the country and however we received assurances from authorities that these issues have been resolved and it's our hope that they are. >> how did it get this bad? >> well we have had some hiccups in supply and has been on for a couple of weeks and the supplies have difficulty in loading and delivering to different sites and in the last five days things have gone south. so it's something that has been gradual but now i think we are at the highest level of this problem. >> so you said the government has given assure endss this will be resolved and is it resolved

and how do you make sure something like this doesn't happen again? >> well we do not know what agreement has been reached by the government with the supplies but we are told that we had some understand understanding to return to loading and offloading of oil and how long that will be we don't know at this stage but we have been assured that they had some agreement. we do not know whether the so called debt has been paid. we don't know yet. so we don't know whether this is delayed problem or fully resolved and we are hoping it will come to them in no time. >> what is the long-term economic impact your industry has taken from this? >> quite significant. like we do know telecom means a number say it's run on telecom

and it's not just on telecom but sub sectors that are dependent on telecoms and some worry it can affect gdp and can have issues on the economy if it's not resolved in record time so the risk is high for the economic nation at this time. >> with the association of license telecommunication operators in nigeria and thank you for your time. >> thank you for having me. european leaders meeting in brussels to address the crisis in central african republic and one million people displaced by sectarian violence and aid agencies warn they don't have enough money to provide food and medical aid that is needed there and jackie roland reports. >> reporter: it may no longer be in the headlines but the central african republic remains volume tile and french and

conflict among young people and see displacement and further displacement and people move from where they are to where they believe they will get these basic necessities and that movement especially in a tense international situation like the republic will lead to increased conflict. >> reporter: some of the armed groups began releasing children they recruited to fight with them. but the risk of renewed fighting is never far away. the central african republic has few natural resources and it's not high on the international agenda without coordinated action now this conflict may rumble on claiming more innocent lives. jackie roland al jazeera. green peace from india are going to court to challenge the government's decision to block bank accounts and india government is cracking down on nongovernmental organizations receiving federal funding and green peace says it's part of

paranoya and cancelled 4,000 foreign ngos for failing to file returns and put on a security watch list last month and we have a ford member of green peace india society and told me earlier that green peace is being unfairly targeted. >> the ministry of home affairs seem to be nitpicking that particular ngos have not submitted their accounts on time but in the case of green peace they are on very shaky ground. the courts ruled against the ministry of home affairs and i think a big problem with the ministry of home affairs is they have paranoid. i mean they got so paranoid it's kind of reminicent of the 70s with gandhi. >> those are pretty harsh accusations, why do you say that? >> let me explain why. >> okay. >> you've targeted a few ngos

and you have blocked their indian funding. the fact is 60% of the money that green peace receives in india is from ordinary citizens of india, not corporate or government entities and as for the rules and law of the land they have no right to block these funds but they have gone ahead and done it. the courts will eventually, in my opinion, rule against the government. this is an example of intimidation and harassment. why? that is because green peace and supporters have been adjust talking about a power plant and green peace india has been in the forefront of telling the government that look if you have a mine call mine it in a manner and rehabilitate the people whose livelihoods getting destroyed and green peace have

been agitating against government policies. >> are you saying that? >> absolutely. in the 1970s the prime minister of india saw a foreign hand with everything that went wrong in this country. i regret to say this but there are some individuals in the present government who seem to be you know i mean looking at ngos including green peace as the reason why ionia's economy is not growing. >> and prime minister has been celebrating his first year in office by writing a letter to the nation and listed the government achievement like curbing inflation and economic reform but some voters who helped modi to a landslide victory are disappointed from what they have seen so far and we have more. >> reporter: a year ago an indian power came to power promising to cleanup politics as well as neighborhoods but not much as changed in this community in the heart of new
