signing of the peace deal in 2016. he explains it comes after weeks of increased unrest across the country. a truck carrying 6 bodies arrives at a morgue in. a town long at the center of the country's civil conflict as family members grieve soldiers and police look on these killings were one of 3 incidents in just 24 hours that left at least 17 young people dead in remote regions of the country it was the deadliest day since the signing of the 2016 peace deal with fart rebels that aimed to end the worst of the violence. there are groups which are fighting each other. sources of illegal rains. but also illegal gold mining. start targeting youngsters in order to

try to instill fear and we had already been horrified by the killings of 8 college students near the border with ecuador another 5 young people were shot dead just days before outside the city of. massacres of this nature had long been routine in the internal conflict as paramilitaries get 3 years in the army fought for control of territory but after a lot following the signing of the peace deal violence has returned as the government has failed to assume control and implement peace reforms in those areas . the government has condemned the attacks and the new special military unit well downplaying the increase in by. one of the 1st task. to advance in the investigations to clarify the facts that have affected this region but the entire country. but the united nations mission in colombia says they

revitalize the economy and change his country's pacifist constitution but as mcbride explains he may not have achieved everything he promised. when he became prime minister in 2012 shinzo our bay was no stranger to the office he'd already held the post for a year in 2006 during japan's so-called revolving door premiership period when factionalism within the ruling party led to a rapid turnover in leaders by 2012 that period was over offering the chance to rule uninterrupted i've been amazed that i will increase jobs and incomes and revitalize the countryside he promised aiming to transform japan's stagnating economy with his own brand of nomics 80 years on the results are still disappointingly mixed and he cannot say carney has to. be our good.

so i think. it's not successful but it was stuck fast at some point a staunch conservative he also set about moving away from japan's traditional pacifist role and become more assertive with his asian neighbors but it was the unseen enemy of 19 the critics say saw him lacking in assertiveness contrast is that you know president moon in south korea and sighing land in taiwan both of that have emerged of the pandemic with greater political power and stature abyei has been basically missing in action 2020 was meant to be the high point of his premiership hosting the tokyo olympics which it successfully with. on for japan and aiming to achieve 40000000 visitors even staging the games next year before he leaves office now looks in doubt even if he holds them it's not clear

that that's going to actually give him much of a bounce so i think we have seen peak abbay and now they is sort of really diminished leader and much weaker and his legacy looks to be in tatters they can blame a degree of bad fortune for a tanisha legacy but when he leaves office the fact that he's served longer than any other prime minister might be the want to achieve munt he's most remembered for public pride al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera these are the top stories crowds are gathering in the capital of belarus for another major rally in protest as according to the resignation of the president alexander lukashenko 2 weeks after he claimed victory in a disputed election the government says the army is taking over responsibility for
