11:02 am
will hip morgans in the cities capital. cartoon said the w f p saying it's going to start work again. what do we read into that? well, it looks like the wi fi as an organization has looked into the needs of the food beneath people or the people fleeing from the capital into neighboring states and into neighboring countries who are in need of assistance. now many people say that they're out of food, and this is of course, looking after the conflict that happened here in the capital. her 2, prior to that at least 15000000 people, that's a 3rd of the population up to down were in need of him any parent assistance and w b had to help it's operation during the 1st day of the conflict. because 3 of its staff were killed, but people say that this is able to reach those in need not necessarily in the capital, but those who have been displaced the neighboring states and neighboring countries . that would make a bit of a difference for them. it's not clear yet if they would be able to reach the
11:03 am
capital her to him, there's still a lot of fighting happening in many parts of the capital. the roads are still manned with, with armed men, whether it's denise army or the rapids support forces. and many people have fled the capital, so it looks like right now the focus would be in neighboring states where people are living in schools, living and in the open intent and where their needs are really huge. but that doesn't necessarily show that the security situation in the capital at least has improved. yeah. hipaa, we were mentioned before also that there's another extension to the sci fi this will last for about 72 hours or so. do people feel that this sci fi extension is actually going to make any difference? we spoke to a resident in deborah, that's in the southern part of the capital for about 20 minutes ago. and you can hear the artillery in the background. so there, there is no fire, they can hear the fighting, going on outside their home. they can hear the artillery track and the sound of gunfire that's in the southern part of the capital. but people here generally say
11:04 am
that they're not focusing on the worth piece. fire, they're focusing on what unfolding and the ground when there is a lot of fighting between the 2 sides. they take that opportunity to either go and get their basic commodities from shops that are open or try to make them their way out of the capital cartoon. and when they're fighting, they've tried to stay indoors to not get caught in the crossfire between the 2 sides. so people don't focus on the word cross fire that is agreed upon by both sides because they see on the ground what happens is something completely different here, but thank you very much. indeed, it's hyper morgan talking to us from heart to while continuing fighting is making it difficult for thousands of people trying to leave sudan. many are making a treacherous journey to port sedan on the north eastern coast. the board of evacuation ships thousands of packed into the area. some waited for days for the chance to leave. many of them a syrians who fed the civil war in their own country. i've no be not lose it again . so then i should dance living to a moment of real terror,
11:05 am
real terror. i'm talking about dead bodies in the streets. we smell the dead bodies were coming from khartoum. the firing, the shelling, sudan is seriously in the state of real war craven. how while we are on $3.00 to $5000.00, the numbers large inside the ports and also along the cornish people sleeping on the ground with those children, elderly, the l. everyone. well, let's talk to talk about the she's an architect and mother of 3 teenage boys and she's joining us from cartoon. thank you very much. indeed for talking to us. i want to ask you, 1st of all about this cease 5 extension does not make any difference to your daily life at all. this morning. no, not at all. we can still hear showing the arch tillery yesterday this morning. it has in my area, but i'm hearing reports from my friends that there is have
11:06 am
a showing where they are. i want to ask you about your daily lives in a moment. but there are many people who have been leading cotton because of the fighting. why have you chosen not to do that yet? for several reasons. actually. first of all, we can't guarantee the safe passage is safe roads to get from point a to point b. and the reason is it's not clear to us where we can sleep. when some people left for their families with their families to their festival homes in the states, we don't have that option. other people flex the border and we're reading the accounts and hearing from people there regarding the situation where they are. and it's just terrific. my sister left for court, and they've been there for a week, and it's been really rough on them as a family. so that's something that we will be able to do, especially when, if people are actually into egypt, we will require visas for members of our family,
11:07 am
my and my husband and my eldest son and were also accompanied by my elderly mother . bill is bedridden. so the whole logistics of it is too difficult for us to approach right now and the way things are i mentioned that you were the mother of 3 teenage boys. you've obviously got other family members there as well as well as also in other parts of call to talk to us for your daily life is like you know, we're trying to maintain a sense of normalcy. but we're really not able to. we try to get up in the morning and make our morning tea, have breakfast, and then you start worrying. you're running low on milk are running low on sugar and you don't know where you can find a lot of dry supplies and things at home. but the perishable sort of like theory and things like that. we talked about
11:08 am
an incident where very big tea drinkers. so that constitutes me because in the end, people tend to want to be near my date and rely on breakfast and other firms and breakfast. and for, for, and team for the rest of the day. so regarding the supplies we do have, we've got all the dr needs and things like that. my husband has also been able to get us fresh vegetables. so we do, we try to maintain, you know, the full meals tours, laundry, dishes, everything else. but the thing is you have to like, check in on everybody. everybody that you know, it's in part 2 more. if you know that somebody's in a particular area to shelling or somebody that you know their relative is in critical condition. so we spend a lot of the day just for our phones, trying to blame information and to check in on each other. our correspondent hip morgan was talking to us about the fact that there are members of the sedan army,
11:09 am
as well as the rapid support forces for on the streets in cartoon. have you come into contact with any of the units that are fighting in this? yes, i ventured out on thursday to try to find some meds and on my way actually to find any, any open pharmacy because there weren't any pharmacy's open. i came across the 3 checkpoints, so they just leave me through when they find that i'm gonna female alone. so i went to, they were like 3 in succession, you know, they were, they were all on the same road. so at the 3rd tech point i asked them, do, you know if there's a pharmacy open and he just looked at me and said, you know, i think you'd better go home. so that's what i it if i did come across an army officer on the road and when any either side claims
11:10 am
a victory or dominance over a certain area, i'm like, i'm in one space and i can see both sides. so i don't know who is quote unquote, winning sudan, of course, has a history of conflict. how does this latest situation that you're going through at the moment compared to what you might have experienced in the past? in the past, of course, presidents of cartoon were like all the conflict that was going on in other areas, governments try to maintain normalcy in car to it was like if you set out a car and then you'll see the feeling infrastructure and the lack of any services, but in the cartoon there was a semblance of normalcy and functionality that we've gotten used to over the past
11:11 am
30 years. so this time, what's different is that even that facade, it has been completely ripped off. there's no normal to, there's no safety, there's no security health care. it does show the facility of it all the food chain . i mean the water and the power. they went out the 1st week and a family friend in our home, in cartoon north told me that the power came on yesterday since the tidings started . the electricity only came on yesterday since april 15th. so the thing is, this time it's different because there's an increased sense of desperation because people don't even know what their options are. i mean, everybody that's leaving is getting into the unknown. some people have family that they can go to, but it's like they can host you for only so long. the bank ups aren't working. people don't have access to their money. april salaries haven't been deposited for employees. i'm hearing here in my family,
11:12 am
the desperate just trying to get salaries arranged for staff and and even for us to access our monday. i've been trying since yesterday and but the main mobile bank app is not working. so that's why everything is so different now because it's like you have no clear recourse tagrid adding. we appreciate you being with us on al jazeera given the circumstances, particularly that you're talking to us on that. thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you. thank you. well, the fighting is dogs interrupting the flow of goods in neighboring countries. in chad, food prices are going up for, for more on this, we're going to bring in the drink, who's in andre and chat near the border with sedan? i mean, what are people being telling you or ben, how about but how they've been affected by the conflict in sit on well, basically the situation is getting desperate for many people. you're talking about
11:13 am
a region that is in secure radio. see i can be very tricky. and then you have fighting here for chart, it's becoming more of a big problem. if you look at charles neighbors now, so than central african republic, libya, all these areas are trouble spots at the moment. and then on the other side of the board, you hop nigeria, bowl corner, i'm activity is on that side as well. so the amount of food and other inputs coming into this landlocked country is getting more and more and more depreciated. now with the fighting in sudan right now, there is little coming in and as a result, ford has become so expensive waiver has something i tend to sell definitely will look for higher bidder. and that's the situation right now. it's not only for refugees, it has also impacted on the local community, local communities. yeah. and it's economy right now. people are complaining about foot, price is going way,
11:14 am
way beyond 50 percent and in some areas 70 percent. and then that's not the only thing. basic stuff like water like a so like cooking or these are the process of all going up i'd emmy brought him to have has come to market to buy cross ration only to discover he can't afford many of them. now he says his family must adjust allusion whether or not with a lot the what previously we could afford 3 to 4 meals a day, not anymore like and eating twice a day. these days is difficult because food has become so expensive. the village of ad raise an important trading point, but the fighting across the boarding sudan has changed everything for many people. while there has been a steady stream of refugees at this crossing, pointing through eastern charge, the flow of goods have been severely disruptive. fighting has almost cut off this side of lung lock, charred from sudanese ports that supply many of the imports it needs to be
11:15 am
shot. i saw this, i saw the, the refugee and trader who brought his stock with them, explains why things can only get worse in the coming out of the land. and the prices have gone up because air strikes hit our main goods depot. in cartoon, the road is closed, so transporting any goods is very difficult. anyone, woodstock will now try to sell at a higher price. i'd remarket vendor struggled to find buyers for items that only a few can afford. well now, so there is a little little more of, you know, going on 100 businesses slow, but we're grateful. local authority say prices, especially food items of risen by up to 70 percent in a matter of which. and that the government is looking for solutions. planning to subsidize some good. it's an additional burden on a country where millions of people are ready struggling to put foot on the table.
11:16 am
and all this is going on by the way, at a time when more and more flooding into the side of eastern charge, especially at the calling crossing points yesterday we so dozens of people coming in, in fact, about 15 sudanese and 20 indians were trapped in the city of janina that has seen a lot of violence activity that resulted in the death of dozens of soldiers on both sides. so we continue to see the flow of refugees into child at a time when people are desperate and trying to get something to eat. and you, dr. admissions agencies are here in that number trying to find what they can give to the people. but it's clear to see that the amount of food they get is too small for these families was struggling to stay under the tree shades and leaving out the open 2 weeks more than 2 weeks after this crisis started. there is no single construction for the common. thank you very much. it does out that interest. bring us up to date from chad. refugees are also streaming to south sudan. how to matessa
11:17 am
has more from the capital, juba. oh, the influx, the people coming in to south to donna's putting lot of pressure on scarce resources here, south done had his own crisis. there still violence in some parts of the country and agencies say there's only money to help everybody. so what local business are doing, at least here in tuba, they are pulling their resources together. so you see in the shops they are collecting food and medicines and me this for the suppliers have been taken to the local airport. they put on to cargo plans and taken to the border with sedan tower . people who are still stuck. the south to dine has a very close relationship with saddam. this used to be one country until south to die broke away from sudan in 2011 and gained independence for the 2 companies to work together. president solving here, thousands leader says that he has close ties with all the military factions in saddam. he says he's talking to all the players every day on the telephone. he's trying to get them to come here to do
11:18 am
a tough face to face talk time in the conflict in saddam. but right now, of course, the concern is that people trying to come into the country, most of them are from south to dads when they get here. they stay with family and friends. those who have nowhere else to go probably end up at the many campus. what displays people scattered across the country. it is a huge crisis for this country with limited resources. as more and more people keep flooding in. a tens of thousands of people are rallying in south korea's capital mark international workers. date trade unions are demanding a raise to the minimum wage, and those speaking out against government policies they say are anti labor also planned to march to the streets. so it's the largest made a gathering since the covered 1900 time damage from bright is one of the valleys. and so the floor in a country with such a strong trade union tradition. labor day, you can always be guaranteed i big. but this yet especially so given that many
11:19 am
workers feel squeezed by the rising cost of living, that they feel that wages simply on keeping pace with combined that with a conservative administration, there are many work is fail. simply listening to them on the sides with big business, adobe, and made words via privacy over the length of the working week. currently, workers can work a maximum of 52 hours in a week. the government has been talking about increasing got to 69 hours, but that's such a backlash. so now talking about the compromises, 60 hours, if we were to work up to 60 hours, we wouldn't be able to use our annual leave and you'd be absolutely no time to rest . she can go like now $200.00, you nurse is off quitting every year and there's no one to fill the vacancy. tens of thousands of workers that have part in raleigh throughout korea knew of the
11:20 am
biggest. here is goal. one is organized by the korean federation of the trade union . they have been listening to the speech, it drafting slogans. and this umbrella organization, as it often does, will also be calling for a general strike july. right, i'll just narrow, told us secretary susanna the lincoln said to have meetings with the father ministers of armenia and as a by john that org same to reduce tensions about than a gone are kind of back dispute as a by john sat up checkpoints in the region along the lashing corridor last month, it's the only road connecting armenia with the area back who has dismissed calls to remove the checkpoints, which according to our menia, violet, a 2020 ceasefire agreement between the 2 countries. we're going to bring in bernard smith, who's in the armenian capital, yet advance was expected during these meetings, bona ross. this is the earth on both sides of met our media. and as i janet since,
11:21 am
as of i just put in this checkpoint on malachi half for a door in december, added an easy answer, the blinking cold b as airy president and asked him to remove that chip, or at least to make sure there was 3 movements of goods and people up and down it. so as a measure of the difficulties that the americans believe impose in this check what is put on the prospect for a successful peaceful resolution between the 2 sides. that is specifically asked them to do this, but it is a positive, at least the both sides a meeting they've met before they work. i know they have promised to reach a pc of between the 2 sides by the end of 2022. that hasn't happened, but this intensive diplomacy is started again, essentially because of azerbaijan, sort of taking advantage of its military position. its military advances is made in the 2020 war. and that's for both. is these you taught because of this jack or go
11:22 am
again, but the folks sides of what to was since the classes. so you over and gordon, care about tens of thousands to die. and that is why this diplomacy so urgent to prevent the outlay of another major roberto just said it was significant that these meetings are taking place at all. given the situation in the tension between the 2, but of the actually going to make any inroads to the dispute itself. it's through been a very intractable dispute in the past, but it is significant that they are still continuing to meet on the wall track. you've got our media demanding special rights, the ethnic are meetings in the goal, no power back, demanding that their rights to protect it. as a by john, i say this is domestic. it is also in territory. this is not or bilateral international discussions back to one of the main sticking points. and then about this other track way of this risk of an outbreak of major buyers in 3 bouts
11:23 am
fighting in the last 12 months between the 2 sides. and as if i, john really, militarily has the upper hand, it's got better weapons. it's got more money, oil and gas rich. and our media has a security packed with russia, but russia has not been providing the sorts of protection of the news hoping for russia has been published. navi is slightly to the level that they were hoping for because russia is busy. if you train a needs a lot of the ignition sort of weapon stores fighting you, craig, so the really, it's all media that needs this much more than that by john does. as john's able to push itself, pushes advanced militarily. so there's a bit of an imbalance between the 2 sides there, which is why from now meaning perspective, there really are is a need for progress made on the piece thoughts. but as with in your event, thank you very much. rise for international workers day taking place in multiple
