came to khartoum from the south in nine hundred seventy six and had sudanese citizenship and married from here off to south sudan became independent i stayed here but lost my nationality is sudanese i need relatives to prove my claim i'm sell sudanese to get the nationality but all my close relatives are dead south sudan gained independence from sudan in twenty eleven the suspension most part of a deal signed between the sudanese government and the southern opposition after the longest civil war in african history hundreds of thousands fled the violence and headed north many seeking refuge in sudan's capital had its own. despite as the fear interim period prior to south sudan's independence from sudan the issue of who has the right to wish nationality was not discussed until after south sudan gained independence as a result there are hundreds of thousands of south sudanese here who haven't gone back to their country and many of them have no documents to prove their identity so dense bureau statistics says more than fifty thousand south sudanese are in sudan

with no legal documents to prove their identity sudan's government recently amended its nationality law to reduce that number the constitution and the law says sudanese born to sudanese mothers to have the right to citizenship this will resolve not just legal but also social issues for those without citizenship but for the thousands who counts qualify for sudanese citizenship things are more complicated. these people are basically left up in the year they need to either have a legal status provided by the government here or some kind of identification provided by their own country so they can get jobs so that their kids can stay in school so that they can get residency in the country they're in. james says with his wife being sudanese he will continue living in huts home without any documentation but he hopes that one day he and many others will be recognised by either side and finally gets a paper that will prove who they are people morgan al-jazeera heard of some. voters in germany's western region of hesse are going to the polls in an election widely

question it will be counterproductive because you know when you get the body also it will be a health problem of health is one of the main concerns for survivors with more than two hundred thousand displaced many living in camps with poor sanitation and approaching rainy season will increase the risk of outbreaks of dengue fever or malaria. slightly more study shelters are being built on the outskirts of palu when many of those left homeless will need to stay for a long time in some of the affected areas life is back to normal markets are flourishing once again in others little has changed since the earthquake with the remains of buildings left to wait for the wrecking machines people affected by this disaster will of course need ongoing support and rehabilitating palu and the surrounding areas properly will be a slow process the concern is that indonesia is a disaster prone country meaning that attention and resources may soon be diverted
1:15 am
elsewhere if that happens plans for a better safer city may be put to the side in favor of a quick rebuild but for so many survivors there's no contemplating the future just yet it's still about trying to comprehend what happens. i still don't have a job i don't know what kind of work i'm still confused i want to keep looking for my son but i don't know where else to go or we haven't gone to stay in a refugee camp yet because i'm still focusing on finding my son. in central sulawesi a lingering sense of shock and despair is mixed with the beginning of recovery from a distance the bay and city a calm now but survivors will never forget the destruction unleashed a month ago and those they lost wayne hey al jazeera indonesia. well to kenya now where the sea is providing a new type of life he had fisherman less interested in catching fish than they are in conserving them so cool refrain just a part of

1:25 am
her own in the one m.t.b. scandal is being investigated by six different countries including the department of justice in the united states. mr knowledge of their area and jelly and i said to me at your place mr place deca say thank you. mr najib thank you for joining when i want to east. to begin with what was your reaction the night of the election and why do you think the malaysian people decided after almost six decades they wanted to change basically will last for two main reasons. won we lost because of the false promises made by the opposition promises. which they themselves can see today they have considered very openly that they made the promises because they thought they were not going to read
1:26 am
and of course the other one is we lost the propaganda war. you know the vilification of media as a prime is that then as well as the party. it was a perfect storm you know that to the end of but as i mentioned in the country but let's go to some of those propaganda claims that were made that you say were propaganda claims i mean what do you say to those who accuse your government of having been a quick talker see of having been involved in one of the biggest heists the world have as if it's saying you know the alleged misappropriation of four point five billion dollars from the country's sovereign wealth fund one m d b well first of all. it's not true. that. you know our government was a kleptocrat government because. the main point was that i returned
1:27 am
more than six hundred twenty million dollars back you know they kept on accusing me of receiving huge sums of money but they forgot to mention that the bulk of the money was returned four months after the general election but mr jones he just going to your personal accounts that money that flowed into your account in twenty thirty that kind directly from an account in singapore linked to. a very close business associate of joel how do you explain that or carried over to its main sources that came to my colleague. one was a direct contribution from the ministry of finance of saudi arabia. that has been proven in terms of wire clips going to the united states department of justice report that money originated in an account controlled by joe lhota and then it
1:28 am
went into the saudi account and then it will blow to your i don't know that one was established it came from the ministry of finance saudi that was also confirmed by the do it your report if you put yourself in my position where king of the law that committed to support me i assume that everything was. going to be done in a proper way i would not have any knowledge of who owns the farm but you were the prime minister of this country you were the minister for finance you were also the chairman of the one m.t.b. advisory committee shouldn't you have wanted to know where exactly that money was coming from sure i wanted to know but after receiving the commitment from king of the law and subsequent us that was sent to me i assume everything would be fine
1:29 am
just on that matter you have presented a letter from the saudi prince gifty knew the money. but there are serious questions about the authenticity of that letter. how do you account for the fact that the letter from that saudi prince uses exactly the same phrases as a letter written by a very close malaysian business associate of jolo gifting him millions of dollars worth of aat for example the saudi prince writes the gift should not in any event be construed as an act of corruption i personally do not encourage such practices in any manner whatsoever and then you've got joe lowe's associate business associate writing to him. all the artwork gifted to you should not in any event be construed as an act of corruption i personally do not encourage such practices in any manner whatsoever i mean what do you say to people who say that these that later from the saudi prince was fabricated in fact reason to cover up the
1:30 am
diversion of. into jolo and his associates accounts and in fact into your own account well i want to say it is the only reason why i accept it because sure of you know from king of the law that he would support me and the subsequent initial donations did come follow the ministry of finance of saudi and i assume that subsequent donations would also come from sources connected to the saudi i'm not privy to letters written by jordan or in instances as you mention. but this examine it investigate if george is responsible or i want to sponsible for siphoning of fun. then. they must be held accountable the question is when i received the funds was i aware
1:31 am
of the source of money if the central bank were to signal to me there was something of concern but maybe not i did i would die knowing we have money if i get a check from al jazeera into my bank account i know it comes from al-jazeera i know the account it comes from it's got an account number on it it's not a secret this kind from a singapore account controlled by joe lowe's close business associate a malaysian man and and the united states justice department has traced that money back to one m.t.p. money but that was subsequent at that particular time when i have it's leave the money i assume it was a general. donation i do not have any knowledge beyond that six. your you've recently been banned from leaving the country you've been charged with thirty eight counts of money laundering bribery and abuse of power but when you
1:32 am
were prime minister and an investigation cleared you of any wrongdoing why do you think you were cleared then and you are now facing a long list of serious charges you must realize that this current government you know when they were running for office they had already. made this political narrative. that they were going to take action against me so in that sense they have to fulfill you know whatever political promises they made leveling charges is one thing but whether the evidence a deuce later on was support the charges that's another matter so tell me what was your relationship with. my relationship with george bush was on the basis that he was going to promote you know investment from you know the middle east that would help us ensure that we can achieve
1:33 am
a good strategic relationship with that the key countries and he was very close to the royal families particularly in us as well as in saudi so i saw him as creating value. you know that could help us that was the main reason but him six investigations going on around the world into corruption related to one named what what does that tell you about what went on yeah there were there were things that were wrong in what may be but don't stop at this jolo but get others involved as well because they are international figures who are probably allegedly involved. but they must also you know be investigated they must also be question who benefits it will really benefit from the whole one. issue this is what i would like to know too well some people would say that you
