sixty four percent of tutsi women. of the whole population right so this is was enormous and you know the united nations still is really stinging in terms of its responsibility for not stopping things and so now the theme of this event will be to look forward to look to the new generation the generation that seen tragedy in the eyes of parents tragedies in the eyes of of so many relatives that are protected from the same thing happening again that this country this buoyant economy is used for a positive future not a negative one and you will be back with you in the coming hours for the moment many thanks indeed so while today is mostly about honoring the many who were killed it's also a time to reflect on stories of survival such as this man who was just a child when the killing began. a marine named enters a. thirty four yes or. genocide one and inside of it survivor.

i was into gary came up when the genocide says that. the law is a member of my primary between one hundred people and one fifteen people genocide was like ten years because one day you and you count like one month because every time they had a highway cam to kill twenty s. and you say today is my last day. i got. a chance because one of my neighbor. was also. the tool. muslim hired us. and. god will hire a pro to survive the genocide. i remember one of my uncle tell him there. was good. oh uncle i don't like my

father to give. sometimes. a gift in the christmas in the new year and there we used to dance with you and to see we don't know really where yeah he's but his skill but you know how would you know by the young generation you don't think about the what or to india to his wonder on with that because we don't have that it's a nick now just to speak the language we have the same car each other. we have to some for everything is a wonder you don't think about what to and to see sometimes i have my dreams by the genocide. they put it if because. i have to tell the people is to have a hope for their life. because even your programs your family. members

it is not the end of life. you have to work hard to think positively. and to give that for everybody. you know it's interesting. we're going to weather update next on i was there and then but pretty much everything washed away we're in a cycle part of mozambique to see how people are recovering. also ahead rival protests in venezuela president nicolas maduro and opposition leader why do rally supporters. hello again welcome back to international weather forecast where cross parts of western europe it's been feeling more like winter than it has spring and that's all because we have this big system that's bringing a lot of winds as well as colder air to many locations in the overnight hours

though we haven't seen the rain turn to snow in some locations causing some problems on the roads there of course as we go toward sunday we're going to be seeing some rain anywhere from the u.k. all the way down across france and into parts of they have been peninsula even portugal you could be seeing some very heavy rain as another system makes its way off the atlantic as we go from sunday to monday we're going to see more rain here but a lot of rain is going to start to enter into southern and central parts of europe down across parts of greece that is going to be very heavy rain for you could be dismissing some localized flooding across that area up towards the north and the northeast though things will be quite nice berlin eighteen degrees in orsa eighteen degrees as well we're seeing some clouds make their way out of parts of egypt that brought a few showers there most of the weather is going to be here across the northern and the northwestern coast of africa where algeria you can be seen as very heavy rain showers possibly with the tempter there about seventeen to fifteen degrees for algiers as make your way over here towards monday we'll be seeing some better conditions but for tripoli we are looking at some windy conditions with a temperature of seventy degrees.

up to. par.

hello again this is al jazeera let's just remind you of the main news this hour the head of libya's u.n. backed government is about to confront the warlord khalifa haftar us forces started the military offensive aimed at capturing the capital tripoli on saturday after his military seized control of tripoli its main international airport were later pushed back by pro-government faces at least five protesters have been killed in sudan during what appears to be the biggest demonstration against president obama bush is thirty year rule on saturday thousands of people gathered around the army headquarters in the capital to staging a sit in that went on through the night and national commemorations are due to begin in rwanda as about twenty five years since the start of a genocide that killed eight hundred thousand people president paul can call me will lead the memorial. but as well as president of the man trying to force him from power held more rival rallies in caracas nicolas maduro and. each other for the electricity outages that are plaguing the country in

a moment we'll hear from jamal sheil who is with the president supports us but first his latin america editor lucien newman who was among the opposition crowds. this is what opponents of nicolas maduro don't call the first stage of what they've labeled operation liberty in actual fact it's an attempt to gauge just how successful they can continue to bring supporters out onto the streets not just here but throughout that israel are. going to show that they have not grown tired or afraid despite increased threats from armed paramilitary groups loyal to the government to fight. ghassan he didn't bullets at protesters but but this if it is says she's not afraid. but you know is incompetent he talks about socialism but he lives like a millionaire like an imperialist but we haven't had any water in my neighborhood for more than a year. opposition leader apologized for

the improvised stage and the poor sound quality he said intelligence police operatives have confiscated four generators and two trucks for the rally and arrested the drivers are going to an inlet. it's just not water and electricity that we are demanding no we are here to demand freedom and democracy food education and a future and nothing until we achieve it. but nearly three months into the standoff is on the offensive tuesday the supreme court which is moyle to the government stripped of his legislative immunity which means he can be arrested at any moment despite warnings of retaliation from the united states the sign reads the next exit is meta flotus me to follow this is the presidential palace but it is wishful thinking if these people believe that president nicolas maduro is going anywhere anytime soon and so the real task of the opposition

leaders now is to try to keep these people out on the streets for the long haul. the large demonstration in caracas was peaceful but in the northern city of daraa riot police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters why the admitted that more sacrifices are needed. but his most sobering message was directed at those who are calling for u.s. military intervention. why though says it's up to the news wayland's to lead the charge for regime change a clear reference to the trumpet ministrations recent admission that military action is milled in the cars are now. seeing human just see the us. president nicolas maduro put out the call to supporters and they heeded that will thousands of them taking to the streets of central correctness to show that them back to president still enjoys a lot of support amongst the people men and women young and old have gathered here

to show that not only they supports president nicolas maduro but they are them and three opposed to the u.s. sanctions imposed against venezuela let's speak to a couple of them house the first why why are you here today but. i must say we are very the i will need to stand with president nicholas motherhood and the socialist i want to show until the very end we want to make they will grow at their top class and move. well that's one of the shoes obviously one of the things that the u.s. has been banking on is not the continuous power shortages and water cuts would make people turn against the president's charm or to ask this gentleman here with these we're told shortages i'm an electricity cuts doesn't know made you lose faith in the government not to them and they put a gas is absolutely not we know destructive acts are meant to break us but we will resist we need achieve southam powermat we know that imperil ism is a reality so we must resist it. thank you now aside from showing their support to

nicolas maduro the subtle message that is also expressed by the people gathered these large crowds here in caracas is that they want to support their revolution they believe that's the foreign intervention as they've described that particular from the united states is an attempt to defeat the socialist revolution here. they say that they are against any foreign intervention that they are in support of the president and that they are here to defend the revolution the u.s. president has ridiculed the system which gives asylum seekers a safe passage donald trump says the people seeking refuge of the border with mexico look like mixed martial arts faces he was addressing a republican jewish coalition in las vegas the asylum program is a scam some of the roughest people you've ever seen people that looked like they

should be fighting for the u.f.c. . they read a little page given by lawyers that are all over the place you know bill ayers they tell him what to say you look at this guy you say wow that's a tough cookie. meanwhile more people from mexico and central america heading for the u.s. border the president's repeatedly threatened to close the border if mexico doesn't do more to stop the asylum seekers back to vist supreme camping outside immigration offices waiting for travel documents some accuse mexico's government of slowing down the process of giving so-called humanitarian visas following trump's threats greece is trying to offer education to young refugees on the edge and islands but actually getting children into class is proving difficult local sales already thin resources are being stretched too far and refugee parents a wary about greek schools zeros johnson opulence reports from some it's.

not a comedy is a fifteen year old afghan who dreams of becoming a civil engineer he missed a year of school while his family made its way from iran to greece something he can ill afford if he has to and to university now he has enrolled in a high school in summers but some local parents don't want refugees like mingling with their children one reason appears to be that refugees live in squalor four thousand of them a packed in and around a camp meant for six hundred fifty is lucky to live in a mobile home for most there is no proper sewage no electricity and no washing facilities we try to have the same life as we have the past but it's. this is our situations don't we can't do anything is the canvas. and the game is very lives we don't. do anything many refugees opt for informal education offered by private charities that also gives them

a break from the difficulties of camp life formal education for refugees and asylum seekers is a recent development here for them. when a representative from the great center for disease control came to talk to parents he said we're looking at a public health timebomb to shop basically vaccinated they get a single shot for measles mumps and rubella that doesn't mean it's going moment requirements refugees who arrive on the aegean islands are kept here for much of their asylum process in case they have to be deported back to neighboring turkey so they've been seen by many as a temporary population when the government offered education to asylum seekers and twenty sixteen refugees living on the islands were left out but the asylum process is so slow they are now stuck here for years last september the government extended education to island refugees about thirty haven't rolled so far here on sa most but as many as a thousand a logical that's equal to two thirds of the local greek school population many of

the people of south most and other reste adjourned islands consider that an unfair burden on the school system some was some of us have shouldered all the refugee burden for europe's sake we've been left to our fate and people are worn out we don't have a problem with refugees we've got a problem with those who are responsible for the situation greece and especially the islands of the east a-g. and act as europe's buffer against irregular migration from turkey most seem resigned to that fate but here at the border they want to europe to do a better job of demonstrating its humanitarian values jumpstart ople us algis or some us. nearly two million people in mozambique need food aid to survive as they try to rebuild their lives after cycling the storm washed away hundreds of thousands of actors of farm land leaving people without anything to harvest. from it or miller has more now from china macondo. the heat is sweltering

i was here at the head of libya's u.n. backed government has vowed to confront the warlord khalifa haftar us forces who have started a military offensive aimed at capturing the capital tripoli on saturday after military had seized control of tripoli's international airport now and disuse his forces were later pushed back by pro-government fighters. we reiterate alcool to all libyans throughout the country east to west north to south to the necessity of giving priority to the interests of the country unifying the ranks and working together to lift libya out of this crisis i say to the international community that it should not equate between the aggressor and those who defend themselves or between those who seek the militarization of the state and those committed to a democratic civilian country or at least five protesters have been killed in sudan during what appears to be the biggest demonstration against president omar bashir thirty year rule on saturday thousands of people gathered around the army headquarters of the capital to. national commemorations are due to begin in rwanda

hello and welcome to the program on martine dennis now it's often difficult to do business in africa the world bank ranks many countries they're among the hardest places to sell goods and services bought an ambitious project to ease trade between them is now a step closer to reality the african union agreed last year to create a free trade zone on the continent the largest since the world trade organization was formed on tuesday gambia became the twenty second country to ratify the cold reaching the threshold for it to be implemented it's hoped the deal will reduce terrorists and trade rules and create jobs for a market of one point two billion people so who signed up to this and what fifty to

the fifty five african union members have endorsed the deal the twenty two countries here in orange what they've ratified it three countries though they haven't signed up at all they are banned in eritrea and most importantly nigeria and you can see them in gray now nigeria as you know is africa's largest economy. all right let's introduce our guests now from nairobi we have to see you have rich management and in emerging markets economists from our bureau in the ivory coast we have stephen a co-founder of commodity monitor and from london we have a lucia go and founder and managing partner of obscenities in a finance firm focusing on east west and central africa thank you all very much indeed for joining us can i start with you then in london first of all

tell us why do you think nigeria africa's largest economy is not taking part in this free trade deal. thanks martin i think that it's wise for the government of friendly government consider this carefully i think major choosing not to participate immediately is presented as is quite wise but it's been five years in the making allusion again and it was only in twenty eighteen i believe that the president will hurry decided not to take part and he just didn't turn up for the meeting in kigali. i think this is something you said when you are interested in the show that there's a hope that this this free trade arrow or deuce terrorists and protect potentially create jobs. i'm not necessarily convinced that reducing terrorists will create jobs and it makes sense for countries to that are looking to grow in industrialized certain key sectors of their economies to have the tools of tires to be able to do

that or i am most familiar convinced that. the police variant that the amassed lawyer convince of the priorities of one country say nigeria are similar to the priorities of another ok that's interesting stephen. i think your quieter an ardent proponent of this free trade area what do you think about what has pointed out that there's a huge disparity between the economy isn't africa and that nigeria is actually rather wise to hold back and think about it more closely. ny times martin. for me definitely be an optimist in our mind looking at the whole agreement that is going sane and for me i mean those are going has a case definitely in such an agreement there will be some losers and there will be some greenness but overall what we have to consider is that this agreement which is historic actually in no is a signal still

a new era and this era is utterly to make sure that we change the structures of africa's economy so when you talk about the whole structure of africa's economy nang jeff for example actually you know is less diversified because they depend so much on oil. as the government revenues so when you treat you know such an agreement as well as sponsor me fed up which images so for me i mean what i see is actually airing when situation and if there are countries to fear you know that they will lose from disagreement it has to be just like countries and not a big country really big economy like my junior and for me looking at coach i for example you know mentions the importance of his food and this is not a trade to respond and make sure that i mean we can produce more what we eat locally let's go to the other side of the continent the out to the east and i think i'll set you use in the kenyan capital nairobi atika what do you make of the arguments that with it so far it's been pointed out that there's

a false difference in terms of the needs of the various economy is on the continent and in fact all the shaken has pointed out that is not entirely sure that reducing terrorists is necessarily going to lead to this creation of jobs that has been stated as one of the main objectives of this exercise. so just on the jobs point of martine we've got to create about seventeen million jobs a year at the moment and when doing nothing of the sort the nigerian model currently is in the slow lane and is not even able to produce a per capita g.d.p. increase it's actually declining year on year when you factor in the population increase so i think you know nigeria is not necessarily the economic model that we should be looking at at a macro level i think this is a unique blank slate blue sky opportunity it's

a three trillion dollar market people are entrepreneurial if you go anywhere in africa you will find markets and i think so at the macro scale i think it's a uniquely good thing at the micro scale it unleashing our entrepreneurs on the ground i think it's a great idea the problem is they are going to be many reactionary forces who are benefiting from what is an asymmetric information and economic space across this continent and it's created a feedback loop and particularly one can look at things like we spend sixty three billion dollars on food imports but this is where people make enormous windfall profits and you get it re secular ating through the political system and as sensually what this free trade proposal is going to do if it really works monti it's going to really reinjury near the african economy and there are

a lot of people are very powerful are not very keen on being reengineered out of what is a very profitable position that's been in existence for many many years so that our overall this is something we need to embrace there will be either thank you so let's put that straight that talent. shaken in. london because clearly alec on there is suggesting that it's actually vested interests that might be against any changes that this free trade area will put in place which he contends will liberalize what he calls an african economy not just the fifty five individual states that of the ideas agreed but again i'm not the if you look at the countries example of security for the countries like nigeria that made great strides in improving their capacity to produce food in country to meet their local demand the most even able to achieve that using tyra's as

a tool and if you look at the counter here grievance that the some of many african countries such as cana you know situation where it's more expensive to grow chickens in ghana and it's a good chickens in europe and as a result because this country's unable to compete and you have less food security so i think we can over simplify this it's a lofty idea and i agree with the emotive drivers but if you look at the economics of it if africa's to develop an advance it has to do so in a way that governments can achieve their priority objectives using the tools they have available to them which include tariffs yes i mean make us any other region that only shares again although shogun. has already pointed out that the nigeria model is certainly not one to be following is it at the moment importing a vast amount of its own food it's got more people living in poverty than any other country in the world recently overtaking india and as perhaps the largest city

in the world if not now pretty soon lagos will be the largest city in the world and unemployment is enormous. i think that in focusing on those issues is it makes sense to point those out but the nigerian model isn't the says and simplified down to the challenges you identify the question is what are the tools necessary to drive development and growth anomic activity in africa and is this free trade area or to me going to achieve that and i think is a fact and sent to say that i don't know if you had a chance to look at the tech if you view the text you can see that countries will find themselves countries like nigeria or gun or kenya or find themselves in an environment where they're senshi one of fifty four countries voting there are sickly to agree to trade deals or non-trade deals with parties like the european union the hypercompetitive have said you can visit in areas where parties can

accompany foreign companies or non african companies come into markets like ethiopia establish operations and then produce highly competitive products into these other markets because now they have free access who's positioned best position to take advantage of this the small entrepreneur that was when he was mentioning earlier or the large corporation and the truth is governments should retain this tool so that they can drive development in the priority sectors which government which defers the different gov all right stephen what does this free trade arrangement mean for the country you're in at the moment could do far one of the first to sign up to this deal. you know as for me i think there is a. mistake very make invest or seen or me how you view the agreement and from iraq i always say the agreement is not an end in itself is in me you know and for me and

i mean the continent actually for so long people engaged in trading i mean iraq grow commodities so this for me is one of which unity to to push for a money for change in a change in london in this. place how does this free trade arrangement in the reduction of tiris how does that necessarily stimulate local manufacturing because of course africa is renowned for not adding value to the role materials that leave the continent but how does reducing terrorists actually stimulate the local manufacturing sector. so let's take for example them in the records our sector so them in two thousand and fifteen africa actually imported you know about sixty five billion dollars you know what all. produce so let's say i mean this is actually grown locally this is where we can have people in all growing wheat and actually to i mean going ahead and mean

a longer valid evaluate change to process their return to use for add up with that so this is utterly i mean them in a good case to make sure that we do you know engage in more money fracturing and also beat if you look at the trade you know the trade or jamie in the africa region for the moment in north africa actually traded among is sort of in manufacturing actually was was the largest compared to you know did not money factor put us we traded outside a continent and this i think for me is a good starting point you know to make sure that their day agreement for example is the to increase in trying to judge a region the region the africa region and this is not so you know differently or have a direct link to manufacture put out there we treat among ourselves and suffrage in this army you know office you know an important i mean a catalyst to to to make sure they read our money factor put out straight that i mean we denounce either continent. ok alex. if asia

trades at fifty nine percent among its fellow asian nations european nations trade at sixty nine percent among themselves africa is only at twenty percent at the moment. given the implementation of the free trade deal in this particular state with twenty two countries now having ratified it what sort of improvement on that figure would you expect to see say within a year i think we'd see a huge and blue improvement i think you know it's essentially been suppressed and if you create a level playing field in a number of countries for us to exploit these opportunities i think you're going to see a tremendous it's not just about trade it's about the movement of our human capital that it's not just stuck in it that it becomes much more mobile it reminds me of a famous quote by norman tebbit a conservative minister in britain who said you know get on your bike if you need

to find a job i remember many years ago it creates more mobility across the continent at the micro level at the macro level i don't think we should fear foreign multinationals we understand brothers my brothers and sisters markets much better than foreign multinationals necessarily do we have many emerging pan-african champions who are who are exploiting these opportunities and to the previous point intra african trade is four x. in terms of sophistication in the product that it is when you compare it with exports that go to the global markets so that is also a big pull of your previous speaker was mentioning i think you know we've got to think more pan-african we've got to stop being in our bunkers we've got to stop fearing change this is a very big opportunity the economic add to g.d.p.

will be beyond people's wildest dreams and i think the time has come you know these big trends through the mobile phone have connected all of us in a way we've got the infrastructure going in now otherwise if we don't have a single market. all this infrastructure is basically wasted today i can drive all of it on a road from nairobi to addis ababa that didn't exist before to not talk about a free market in the context of the investments that we are making on this continent is really a non sequitur in my view we do have to move very aggressively against entrenched forces because they've had a wonderful position for very long and they have a lot of capital but move we have to do we've got to do it now and the devil will be in the detail on the ground at the border post what happens there. is clearly an afro optimist onto alec on going back to earlier shaken. after

a pessimists will point out capacity is one of africa's main problems and what about the the prospect of those more developed manufactured economies like say in north africa china sea america for instance overwhelming some of those that are less developed on the manufacturing side for instance nigeria or perhaps zambia for example isn't there the possibility of the disparity between the two being why. until i think that's such an a right i want to push back on a label that you know that you just mentioned and then after passing this to match the a very very very passionate for tourist i think because i believe in the capacity of african african african nations i think that they should have the ability to use the tools the best tools available to them to drive development and so you're right if this free trade area is created as

a visit you'll find areas of you find countries competing in areas where there are competent and. that hyper competency in the continent doesn't extend to food security which has been mentioned so i don't see africa suddenly becoming an. net exporter of food as a result of signing this agreement and nothing prevents african countries for importing food from each other in areas where they have capacity or competition what you see instead is the stronger markets including markets like niger and some areas competing more aggressively more benefiting from this free trade area and and to say that one should be concerned about non african actors taking advantage of a free market bringing hyper competitive ability to bear in a market this is some to be concerned about is to me concerning because that's the reason one of the reasons why africa it's as developed as as quickly at the pace that the continent would like us say this is well so it's

a look at every reason if you're an example or a to let me interrupt you really amp and use the story ownership to let me interrupt you there because you're taking us rather neatly on to the issue of f.b.i. . you're suggesting that you that you rather nervous about the introduction of foreign. involvement if you like engagement in local african economies but foreign direct investment is a necessary ingredient for growth we've always been told this. of course of course . that for foreign capital supporting african countries african entrepreneurs pursuing african opportunities is a key part of the growth story of the continent any region that's developed but foreign capital supporting foreign capitalists coming in to extract value to externalize capital and profits from the continent isn't is a counter supportive force and that's what i'm concerned about so i'm not averse to

the f.t. isaac as a key part of the story but it should be f.d.r. that supports private capital in africa and also that supports governments in the continent the closer that people to understand what their priorities are a party from nigeria is not going to the same as a priority of uganda they'd be different and i don't think you got a chance to born that its priorities to nature as part right i was going to mention earlier than go to the don't go to group it's on the the recent success stories of industrialization on the continent right and i think founder is opposed to this to this oh if he if if it's going to drive more and thus was asian why would he be against this idea so it's it sounds very nice and if it's a high level narrative and sounds romantic but heart economics dictates a country should have the levers protect he said let me create a drive the growth of greece let me quickly jump him if that's a very interesting point ali khan i could see that you wanted to get in on that

sagan that suggesting that then goatee the one of the continent's basic sessile businessmen is against this free trade project. of course is the biggest beneficiary of the existing information asymmetry an economic asymmetry i mean you know he's he is a prime example he's a obviously a brilliant entrepreneur but he's been very very clever maneuvering within the environment that we're now trying to break because of one capital formation to the context with when with which he's operating in a highly respect him but he's naturally going to be in opposition to it because this is where he gets these enormously wide profits in those businesses in which he's operating in them if you look at something like cement the margins that he's gotten about three times what the margins really should be so i think that if that is a very clear cut case going back to the issue of foreign foreign companies coming in

to extract opportunities or next turn allies capital that's what's been going on under the current system take places like the d.r. congo it's not too difficult to see that is the correct characterization of the existing situation the chief beneficiary of foreign beneficiary of the current system is being china right so china if you look at east africa for example intra e a c. exports have been flat for four years china's exports into east africa have gone up sixty seven percent so let's if we're trying to identify a particular issue that is what i shew is then to say that you know we don't want to compete with our fellow africans oh and that stuff stephen let me take it back to you and can you be briefly because sadly we're running out of time which brings me back to capacity it sounds exceedingly complicated in my question to you is do african governments in the first instance have the capacity to monitor and to

implement this in order to protect themselves from some of the dangers that have been highlighted in our conversation today. i mean martin for me it's just opposing capacity and will choose will it differently has to do it politically or a lot of the african leaders if this i mean this is a starting point your only she into you think potentia and this potential is to make sure that countries find their niche in terms of the who production chain of the army and then to to take advantage and competency you know this media agreement to ensure that we build in ten a regional competency where does countries can actually launch out you know into the global fund otherwise used to we didn't deploy in demand and actually we would never have the competence in terms of contributing to the group value chain so for me this is approaching it and it has to do with the political route of african governments and the states so this actually has to be done and is happening is

a call on us you know and then the african leaders to cut beyond beyond speeches and to make sure that the i mean be able to protocol is not very tall explore for me of powles is to make sure the order political or die agreements are negotiated well and differently this should be a win win situation and the other second i'll get the last word to you thirty seconds i'm afraid and i just quickly want to get your thoughts on whether this free trade agreement would that she have any kind of impact upon the existing arrangements the trading arrangements between the african continent for the most part and other trading blocks like the e.u. for instance will they will these races be impacted. it's a well i think that symmetry is this free trade agreement or find themselves signing more aggressive economic punishment treatments which will make it even more difficult and make some of the concerns that i can and see and see even raise much

more exaggerated i think that they'll lose the ability to even less negotiating bar as a group. than that and they think they will because automatically what is the expertise that we're bringing by creating this free trade area that you that you need to house usually to create by getting that tool they will be exposed can i think you'll very much indeed. in nairobi stephen and i and other shater in london then you'll very much indeed for a and interesting conversation i have you think if you want to see it again you can always go to the website al-jazeera dot com if you want to even more discussion go to our facebook page facebook dot com for the inside story and there's always a to assess where our handle is at a.j. inside story i'm at martin dennis from the whole team here in doha if i found out.

outskirts of the city from tripoli al jazeera as more hold up the war had reports. of. gunfire on the outskirts of libya's capital. forces loyal to world to have to trying to push their way to desist city. they say they have seized some areas south of tripoli these claims have been denied by the tripoli and the recognized government on saturday the you and bag the prime minister. vowed to remain firm against has to this forces. we reiterate our cool to all libyans throughout the country east to west north to south to the necessity of giving priority to the interests of the country and unifying the ranks and working together to lift libya out of this crisis i say to the international community that it should not equate between the aggressor and those who defend themselves or

between those who seek the militarization of the state and those committed to a democratic civilian country or for an economy like the the you and recognize the governments are said to have been deployed from the city of misrata to the west and south to fight have to his forces. therefore este like but we suffered no loss for dollars it's the border that one family in the area was hit believed that we held back on the use of our air force in order to protect civilians and public and private property any dead fighter flying or to police will not be allowed and will be targeted the base it came from in order to be targeted. u.n. security general and to new good turkish has been in tripoli ed of talks on rebuilding libya's fractured political system has been forced to leave and says. the talks will still go ahead and have allowed we will not give up this work quickly i know very well that holding the national conference in the conditions of escalation of fighting is difficult but we will insist on holding it on time unless

other circumstances interfere so. libya has been divided between two competing governments since two n.t. fourteen the u. n. talks are seen as one of a few options for peace in libya the only explanation available to us that he probably wanted to shift the. balance or you know to his favor just days before the reconsideration conference so he can so he can advance as demands during this conference because negotiations at the end of the day are reflections of. on the ground in france foreign ministers of the g. seven group of countries have been voicing their concerns several foreign governments have been wanting to leave have those forces not to attack tripoli they say that have to support the talks which are still expected to start on the fourteenth of april with the hope of using elections as a way out of libya's

a two year conflict g. seven foreign ministers attending a meeting in france also issued a statement saying that libya's oil facilities must not be used by any faction for political gain if libya's opposing forces continue this latest battle for control the route to a political solution will become more difficult more. tripoli to me is a research fellow at the international affairs think tank chatham house he says that have ties offensive to many by surprise. i think it's interesting to understand the motivations for this offensive because in some ways it seems quite a surprising move in fact a lot of the discussion was how a political settlement might be coming in the near term and that it might heavily favor half there naturally what we've heard in recent weeks is a lot of criticism from have to his opponents saying that after is effectively being given too much so in that context and only ten days out from the national

conference that have to would launch an offensive was the u.n. secretary general is in tripoli certainly has caught people by surprise i think at the same time it seems likely that if that was the play and controlling that tripoli was the goal then the hope would have been that it would have happened quick and now that this is set in and forces are being mobilized it looks set to be a much more sustained campaign in sudan at least five antigovernment protesters have been killed during what appears to be the biggest demonstration in months of the violence broke out on saturday thousands of people gathered around the army headquarters in the capital khartoum staging a sit in but went on through the night one hour from the german and the quick. the. they are calling for revolution these protesters headed for the army headquarters in khartoum the latest in a way for protests that began in december over the price of bread and escalated

into calls for an end to president omar al bashir has three decades. the longer it takes for bashir to step down because the protests will get and if you walk down the streets you will see a just from five years old up to fifty or sixty years old all coming out of the same thing in one step down security forces have responded to the protest movement with the fees crackdown killing at least sixty people since the protests began according to an international human rights group. despite the tough response to dissent the protests continue. an activist posted this video of his self on you tube and let me take back our dignity and will take back our country as well the people's will is above everything you need to understand that the people have spoken that's it. as one point there was sounds

of gunshots. president bush has stepped down as head of his really party in the hope of calming the protests but the demonstrators insist they won't give up until he resigns as president he german duquan algy say around. a quarter century on from the day it began rwanda is remembering the more than eight hundred thousand victims of the genocide the campaign of killing mainly targeted the people most. packed with machetes leaders from across the continent for attending commemorations in the capital kigali sunday's events will mark the start of one hundred days of national mourning let's go live now to the rwandan capital zeros anderson says the landmark event for rwanda beginning today andrew how will this play out. it will be as ever

an incredibly solemn occasion one of reflection one of so many questions but right now to bring you up to date i'm at the convention center here where the will be a remembrance gathering there will be speeches but this very moment heads of state other dignitaries are all gathered at the memorial site just a short distance distance from here in which two hundred fifty thousand victims of the genocide are buried their names are in war plates around this area and the dignitaries have laid wreaths and certain are going to rate lay wreaths in certain positions there will be a ceremonial lighting of the remembrance torch the flames that will burn for one hundred days this is a period of mourning where there will be various activities and of course events

today will culminate with a vigil a night vigil this is called quick buka it's about uniting renewing and remembering and there is going to be so much emotion because this is a landmark here a quarter of ascension twenty five years and needless to say there is going to be a lot of views given out a lot of pressure to try to help the next generation that is just live this whole genocide through the words and the feelings and the emotions of their relatives and friends that are under twenty five years on still many questions remain unanswered are they going to be touched upon in this commemoration today. it is very likely right here at this convention center there will be speeches talk of gummy who as president he's been in power ever since the genocide ended he

was the leader of the r.p.s. rwandan patriotic front of fighting against the hutu majority government forces here he led forces into a gallery in july twenty forty nine hundred days after the genocide began to with many deaths of hutus involved he liberated the city he he got control and ever since he's been in a leadership role some controversy about extending his presidency after three successful terms but he is in power indefinitely this stage but in terms of mistakes they are all really mainly directed at the international community the united nations that failed to really take on board the enormity of what was happening despite appeals from from forces on the ground twelve belgian soldiers were shot dead by hutu forces and that was a provocation really what did the un do it actually withdrew forces the french

withdrew forces as well they came in late and it's arguable as to whether it had any real effect some argue that the french special forces or that were sent in actually ended up rightly or wrongly. intentionally or unintentionally helping the hutus escape at a crucial phase of towards the end and then of course the french also they are they were backing the government and they were it would seem well nicholas sarkozy in twenty ten said but they were really they didn't recognise they weren't aware of the enormity of what was happening so this is controversial there is no diplomatic relations between france and wonder. crown has announced a two year investigation by investigators but i could demick such of the on the intelligence files the. all the political files military files to look at whether france was in any way to blame for some aspects of what happened

there is going to be we expect some reaction from gummi home on bet particular issue after many thanks.
