7:09 am
mean, when i've reported in the past from bangladesh, there are so many ro hanging refugees that i've spoken with, who've told me how trap they feel, and they've described how conditions for them are so dire. the fact that so many were hanging are attempting to make these very dangerous c crossings. what does that say about where things stand overall for the we're hanging right now. i think that there is a lot of emphasis on ending the impunity holding the perpetrators accountable and a lot of other things in order to change the situations and the circumstances that have put us in this place, you know, to begin with. and i understand those process are very important, but there are very little being done and very little being implemented or find out for the refugees or the genocide survivors in the interim. and this, this endless cycle people,
7:10 am
this endless cycle of people leaving displacing themselves over and over through very dangerous journeys, as you said, is the manifestation of that lack of protection and lack of investment into the communities wherever they are in exile. yes. mean, what has to happen for this to stop? what steps can countries take to make sure that this doesn't continue and, and our country's willing to do that? is there the political will power to actually do what you're talking about? i think it's pretty clear now that one genocide in the region can really spill over across the entirety of the region. and i think that countries, the states and leaders are actually not ready to have that conversation are not ready to, to bear the impacts that needs to come on. if and when writing your refugees actually decide to leave on mass. and there's already, you know,
7:11 am
this number that we're seeing i'm, i would like to remind everyone that genocide is going to reproduce itself. and we see it being reproduced right now through, through the spoke crisis through endless of displacements. because people really do not have the opportunity to choose where they want to go, they just want to be, they just want to have a trance at surviving. now the immediate work that can be done, multilaterally is the mobilization of search and rescue missions that should be patrolling around the region in the bay of been gall, especially. there's also further, you know, long term investments that need to be done with in the community, into the community. there are a lot of funds that are being allocated towards the accounts, but why aren't, why aren't the funds being allocated for trainings where i can economic impairments and acknowledgement, or leveraging the existing skills that people already have utilized those skills
7:12 am
for us to produce food or do other things where, you know, within the time frame that we have to stay in displacement before you know, hopefully we can go back home so so that we can prevent the further deteriorating conditions within the camps. yes, man, you know, in a little bit of security, that's man hard interrupt, but from a personal perspective to see that so many were hanging, have died this year at see what kind of impact does that have on it's really difficult to come at to reconcile the fact that the people from my community, the people like myself, are not given a chance to survive, have not been able to, you know, seek protection further than just crossing the border and living in the dire conditions. i think oftentimes we misunderstand that when people survive a genocide, whatever we give them,
7:13 am
that's enough. people actually deserve dignity. and people deserve much more than just, you know, a threat of livelihood that there were given in the camps and elsewhere in exile. there needs to be far more connection and with the community and far more conversation that needs to be made towards the community and within the community. and to ensure that we, we meet the needs of the people in exile currently. all right, that's running the act of his yes men, allah, great to get your perspective. thanks so much for joining us. thank you. at least 113 people have been rescued from the mediterranean sea off the coast of libya. the s o s mediterranean medicine renee charity says it's ocean viking vessels rescued the group from a rubber boat. there were about 30 unaccompanied miners on board. the ocean. viking is the only rescue ship and the central mediterranean. other in geo ships are docked in ports still ahead on al jazeera serbia puts troops on high
