teachers to leave warning they no longer want to see children learning in school. and i had the armed men burn books in the children's notepad some teachers like mistress i will go escaped others were executed in the city. they told us to stop teaching in french that is their main issue they are targeting schools to fight the government in april 200-1000 we travelled to teach or as i would go and fight to my toes villages after fighters of the slum exceed in the greater killed a local pastor and members of the congregation shortly after they killed any moment worshippers in january they went to the towns of market and shot down merchants according to the u.n. 848000 people have been displaced from the northern region fleeing the violence. most are children with school shut the no longer receive an education. human rights watch says instead children beg for food or work with many young girls forced into

early marriages. security forces are turning primary schools into military camps and this has made schools even more vulnerable to attacks from armed groups. the government says education is the country's priority but most facilities are shut. since the corona virus outbreak classes are being broadcast on t.v. for those children who have the luxury to watch it not for far too much who misses her mouth a teacher but. she now makes careful count of the $20.00 a month she earns in this vegetable stall while it isn't enough to feed her 7 relatives or pay for an education she says $1.00 day she will be back at school to become a math teacher the goal is talk al-jazeera well we can now speak to lauren faye about she's a research in the children's rights division at human rights watch and she joins us now on skype from washington d.c.

lauren i say that teaches and school administrators have been beaten shot even the head and what's driving this escalation. thank you very much. yes since 2017 these armed islamist groups have pursued their their vendetta against what they term french education or any education that is western and secular and has is run by the government so since 2017 with increasing severity especially last year and 21000 these groups have targeted they have beaten abducted and killed education workers teachers and they've attacked schools law and i say that students generally haven't been targeted in these attacks but they're of course being nonetheless impacted. absolutely. while the armed groups have thus far not appeared to target students for violence in attacks on schools they still have completely terrified them during these attacks they

routinely arrive tearing up on motorcycles firing shots in the air sometimes they order the students to stay down on the ground and they threaten everyone in the school teachers students alike ordering them to stop attending schools to stop learning in french and in addition they have there have been there's at least one student killed in such an attack by a stray bullet and another injured and there have been students that have been killed in i.e.d. attacks in other situations as well lauren i understand that the bakken abbay military has at times used some schools as training camps is that connection exacerbating these attacks i would say we have documented a few cases of military use of schools but it's important to recognise that they in the majority of cases we were able to confirm that the schools had already shut prior to the military use which is already a positive step under the safe schools declaration which for and is party to since

2017 but there are 10 cases we've documented of military use of schools mostly in some time in our region and the whole region and in these cases it can pose a risk for the school infrastructure we documented 4 cases 4 out of the 10 in which the schools were attacked during or immediately after their military occupation their use as bases so we strongly urge the birkenau big government to work hard to restrict the military use of schools so as not to for pows in other obstacles to students restarting the line you spoke about the increasing severity of these attacks and the escalation there what's been driving that increase is that about the way that groups are operating how they change their strategy. we saw notable spike in attacks by the armed islam as groups. that are

as allied with al qaeda and the islamic state in birkenau faso throughout 21000 and that's when we saw i think nearly a 6 fold increase in internally displaced people so those increase in attacks across the country and the corresponding sometimes violent response as well by security forces and self-defense militias resulted. in a flood of displacement and these attacks also included increasing attacks on schools so that as well we i documented around $126.00 cases of attacks on teacher students and schools and half of those were in 1900 well lauren favorite their research on the children's rights division at human rights watch thank you for joining us allowed to there are thank you very much. now polls have closed in the south american nation of suriname and results could mean the difference between 5 more years of rule by the current president or prison time for him as he was convicted of murder last year over the 1982 killings of political
