fled to this camp in sudan's got out of state. obviously, they were looting our properties and wanted to kill us. so we all fled. we heard our people being shot, we saw dead bodies, so my family and i took what we could from our properties. we are farms we should be harvesting, but we left everything behind. some even left their family members. the united nations says it's expecting up 220-0000 refugees to arrive to sudan by april. should the conflict in the region continue? they head of the u.n. refugee agency told al-jazeera that support is needed to cope with the refugee crisis. we want to wait and see how the situation develops degree in order to make a decision. concern is legitimate, so we continue to be with them. here we're stepping up. the operation to begin emergencies are always a little bit slow, but i think it's stepping up quite quickly. and if we get the resources that i'm calling 450000000 dollars for the humanitarian community and the government for the

next 6 months, we'll be able to have a well organized response here. but we do hope that the situation improves in their country, so they can go back, says it'll continue fighting against the federal government. it seems, even with the government forces appearing to take control of the region's capital. the conflict integrate may be far from over. morgan al-jazeera the u.s. state department has said 6 explosions were heard in the eritrean. there's been no claim of responsibility, but to grant it is accused of providing military support to the ethiopian government. warned 100000 refugees integrate, could run out of food by monday in 2019. if you had won the nobel peace prize for ending conflict with eritrea, the country's leaders between eritrea runs deep as it was ethiopia's frontline in the 1908 border war which killed tens of thousands of

like fuel which the 2 grands will desperately if they go to mount a guerrilla war as they did for nearly 2 decades, until 991 is that going to happen? so already this is a regional conflict. dozens of farmers have been killed whilst working in rice fields in nigeria's northeast. like officials say baka, harem fighters killed at least 43 people tying some up before slaughtering them. least 6, others were injured and 8 people are still missing. after the attack near my dog going only 2 and a half 1000000 people have been into space by more than a decade of violence in the region. but it just has more from the capital of these a group of farmers like migrant families who are contracted to walk on farms and bring the stage. remember, areas around my degrees of it was about money, for example, where the bodies were taken is not very far from the capital. kabul shade is where

the incident happened. they were contracted to go and harvest rice from the fields and then book or arms around rounding them up, tied them up, and then see if this throws. this is a typical book or nonmetallic, which when it's close to a large city or a military base. we've seen that over the years in the northeast of nigeria, and it's still happening using guns or heavy weapons will attract the military attention. so that's, that's the situation. what, what we hear now is that at least 8 others have been missing, 6 have been seriously injured. and we expect the death toll to rise because of the severity of some of the injuries. the way that the victims got at the, at the scene of the incident actually report just suggesting that these families or other these controversies were in fact people who traveled some hundreds of

kilometers from so-called estate to come and work on these farms in borno state at least 23 people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack in central afghanistan attack, a detonated explosives inside a car in the city of gaza, any injuring at least 16 others. no group has yet claimed responsibility. iran's supreme leader has vowed to retaliate for the assassination of the country's top nuclear. scientist was in fact, day was killed on friday to blames. israel. prominent u.s. politician, buddy saunders has condemned the killing saying it was aimed at undermining diplomacy. bank reports from tehran. protesters outside parliament, demanding revenge. and for iran to stop nuclear inspections by the international atomic energy agency, the anger follows the killing of top scientists most. in fact, it is done down by attackers in his car, in, a suburb east and the hieron on friday. his family speaking on state t.v.,

also called for revenge. he was a scientist and at the same time, a very kind and affectionate husband who loved his country. i plead to others to continue his path and to not let his blood go in vain. his path was very important for him and his blood was spilled for it. istic shortage of honey. i tell the world's arrogance that if they were afraid of this mosque and this country's progress, and if they were worried about progress made by this mosque, you must be scared of his blood a 1000 times more. the world's arrogance has to know that by killing people like fuckers on the this path of progress will not be stopped. president hassan rouhani blamed israel for the assassination of iran's most senior scientist been moved. the relevant authorities will respond to this crime in a timely an appropriate manner. the iranian nation is smarter and wiser than falling into the trap of the zionist conspiracy. the supreme leader,

ayatollah khomeini, also pledged a retaliation, asking for the perpetrators to be firmly prosecuted for the work of others to continue. iran has launched an investigation in what is an embarrassing breach of security. but political factions differ about what the response should be. this latest incident will impact on any plans u.s. president elect. joe biden has for talks with iran on the nuclear deal known as a joint comprehensive plan of action or j.c. reached in 2015. i think you will make any negotiations on the j.c. way, much more complicated and not just from the american side. i think it's going to be difficult enough for president biden, but it's further complicated by the reaction in iran to this killing, one of their most senior scientists. and you have the upcoming elections in iran in a few months. so it's going to make it even more difficult for the moderates who would like to see a pattern up in the jay c.p.o.
