trusts, and the western edge of that is just throwing up this tropical sideway very severe the environment and it's on its way towards the cost of goods. right, which you probably make landfill on june 1st, but before that comes in across the winds, the guys we increase the cheryl bands or down the west inside of india. and i think the rain itself will probably hit the southeast of pakistan including govern, karachi, northern pakistan has been suffering some, some pretty big chiles recently. and they gotta repeat themselves when the news breaks behind me, what do you see is the side of the massive box. then we so involving 3 trains, when people need to be heard and the story needs to be told, there was no purpose soccer pitch here. so i training the street with exclusive interviews and in depth reports christopher columbus wrote about it. in 1492 algebra has teens on the ground. this is where

a pilot gets the way to bring you more award winning document trees and live news fighting and sudan has led to a new wave of violence and dar for thousands of floods and neighboring chad to escape attacks by malicious. and there are fears this could reignite tribal tensions in the region. so what's fueling this pilots? this is inside storage, the hello and welcome to the program. i'm how much in june. so the and the army and paramilitary rapid support forces have been fighting for nearly 2 months now. millions of people have been effective, but this latest battle is now threatening to reignite decades old tensions in the western dar 4 region. doctors without borders, say, hundreds of civilians have been killed there since violence broke out. an april.

the battle began around the capitals up to him, but his sense spread so many areas across the country, therefore has become one of its main battle grounds. people in the region say, various militias are targeting civilians and some have a warrant of massacres. thousands of people have been crossing into neighboring chad to escape the violets. we'll get to our guests in a moment, but 1st this update from st as robbie who is that a refugee camp on the chat suit and border whenever we return to places like this to these kinds of impromptu camps where people are arriving from west r for primarily from l janina, one thing becomes very clear, the conflict is not becoming smaller, it is becoming bigger because the number of people at places like this simply continues to grow more and more people arrive into these kinds of conditions. they are living out in the open expose to the elements. it is incredibly hot and sunny now with, with very, very start conditions overhead. but just hours ago,

just last night there was a thunderstorm and all of these people had to sleep through that. so the situation here is dire, the circumstances require immediate attention. these people need immediate medical attention. they need water, they need food. and they are keen to say that they need that help as soon as possible from anyone who can give it, but something that they are also very quick to bring up a very immediately after the idea of self preservation. here they are concerned for those that are left behind, they want to speak to us, they want to speak to whoever comes, they want to tell their story and what they keep saying is that they, despite these terrible conditions, they consider themselves the lucky ones. because at least they are not still in elgin, and at least they are not still under constant attack. bite malicious, they say they are worried for their friends and relatives. they described terrible scenes, many of the dead people that continue to die on a daily basis. can not be buried for 2,

at least 2 very important reasons. the people that are there cannot safely bring their bodies to bury them anywhere. and so they are storing them mostly in their own homes, but dead remain in their own homes. and the other problem that we've heard is that people don't have enough to eat, they simply don't have enough energy to dig the graves to put the people in. so incredibly difficult circumstances in elgin are here in audrey on the border of these refugee camps. and everyone we speak to says the same thing. they want the international community to intervene if necessary, by force zane buster ivy in audrey eastern chub for inside story. all right, let's go ahead and bring in our guests now in london may soon the co director of the sudan research group at the london school of hygiene and trump, of, of medicine and here, and they'll have a big we'll have a lesson the, a former student needs diplomat and now a professor of politics at the door institute for graduate studies,

a warm welcome to you both. thanks for joining us today on inside story. i do have, let me start with you today. so the conflict began around how to them the country's capital, but fighting has spread too many parts of the country. why has dar for become one of the main battle grant? i think i forward the starting point for the mid issue, which is now a turn arising clustering. uh the uh and before that it was, uh, there was conflict from the ninety's. unfortunately uh rather than assisted by that for my the g, my former machine uh, between uh a so called out of tribes. uh, what's your quote pretty to many magnets from shad um the original uh uh, inhabitants of western got forwarded back to the salary. and the detention

and escalated when the water started in 2002, i'm great when the government is recruited, so call ginger, which was more or less the role of factors that said this going to that of the small no magic site just who is also a large number of the most frequently used uh, what uh few guys has been happening in that for now. is that when that issue? uh uh the, the, uh, the new issue uh from it t has talked to some, some of these conflicts during the past few years, i think from 19, uh, i'm to 2020 uh, the some of the, uh, the

a component of the treasure and so uh, what's that for? i've been engaged in a tax on that. it should have been proficient. they're committed to himself when to that, for allegedly to try to provide to piece down. but uh most people say he has been uh uh, secret to supporting the uh, the new to show that who have increased the power during the transition or government jumped or she could. and who how um we just barely hate to weapons. uh, which preparation to, to not have a go equivalent to. uh, so i see now. uh, we just what's happening the spectrum uh, maybe the dimness of the community share in what's in that for wanted

to impose it all sort of to for fee of that says people in the, in that form i think that the issue has we try to rise again, and this is way what we see down mesa and i saw you nodding along just some of what the, what have was saying there. and it looked like you wanted to jump in. so please go ahead. i um, we work with uh community research as across us it. so don and right at the beginning of this conflict, what has come across from our colleagues and i'm to know it's quite vivid and speaks to it that they will have was saying. so if i can put it in their words, what they say about the situation there is to be honest, the situation is catastrophic. and beyond description to them. the fact that jeanine and many of the mix little places that are for a bit of a black box. but what we do know about the impact is that not

only is it wide reaching and an intense, but it is also a compounded by the history of ethnic conflicts. and therefore, it speaks very much of a genocidal playbook that has just played itself out. once more and that's who meditation researches we studied conflict the world over and to be honest, we haven't seen anything like this before. this is a in essence, nothing short of the really a renewed genocidal campaign. unfortunately. and perhaps the greater impact under cover for all right. let's now bring in half as me, i'm a director of justice advocate, sudan, a human and civil rights research institute based and sudan. how does um, how much concern is there right now that decades old tribal tensions could be re ignited in dar 4 and, and what would that mean going forward? yeah, the problem is we well actually back to 2000 on city,

2004 in terms of the level of violence and the violence of actually targeting people according to a try. but and, and this is a deep and it's very serious this time because we don't have a functioning go on right now. okay. i think that maybe we should like support things that i think to cause the maximum. how much damage do, uh, uh, some drives and some people in were in was devil. and actually the very dangerous division of the country is no government to protect them. unders towards in these terms of a lot of things and, and, and, and definitely i'll do what have is what is happening in the are for right now kind of a continuation of the word that broke out there in 2003 and ended in 2020 uh well, okay. yeah, seen that since it is the same, this box, these items are engaged, but i think what these different p as in appropriate half is and you know, 2 things for me and that in the past the,

the fights was between atlas. um, oops, uh what's happening, i think what's in the for ease the middle experience, i'd be targeted to uh, buy a the uh, the outer safe which was supposed was ip to westwood the uh, in the last few years as a kind of protection force that you supposed to be the police and the military that and issues confronting and um, people must have putting them in. i mean, i came to something to get, get my, my think this is an important indication that probably the e guy, the after committee, which has like to mention the details do not seem to at this time. do you agree?

it probably mean it should down at the moment. the problem is that you have this role condition which uh, nothing can seems to uh, to dictate it from uh, doing whatever its good want. like uh here, getting people taking the property. in fact, all that all she couldn't, and i think the people getting into homes, i'll skip those, stopping people in the world. people disappear like that. and the metric can be there seems just think that uh by uh, what is needed is or the people who are affecting this militia to stop the fight to get hoping that that happens the new show will be tamed and just sit down and be nice, fema quarters probably need it is more as fire power. hm. uh

i think uh we should quote for it cuz i'm not sure to kind of mention in width and depth for the moment. otherwise it would become daunting during the se. mesa and you were speaking earlier about what you call the catastrophic situation facing a facing door for. and i want to ask you more specifically about just how dire the humanitarian situation is there. so in, in my colleagues, once i quote, they say, if this situation continues in argentina, it will be worse than you can imagine. they say that it will be worse than the mass of the cleansing this past. because there are multiple ways that you can die directly viable it and then treated injury or chronic disease stuck in a boarding house that you cannot leave or thirst even if you go out to get the water that you need to survive, you get killed. they are very in fact take that their courage and large

scale humanitarian intervention is what is needed to save what is left half of you heard there may soon talking about a engineer and a specifically and, and i want to ask you about that because if we're looking at what's going on in, in door for, it seems like the violence and engineering has started out as sort of an offshoot of the wider war in sudan. but, but a lot of age groups are now saying that it seems to become a war in its own right. why is urgent in such a hot spot in the conflict right now? yeah, because because it is um, um, well configured. uh, based on the tribal district line, i'm also at the same time land and resources and i think and that i've had music going on for them. you know, a fighting around the moon on a new scenario to just choose amino acids and also the new settings. so actually came on to go over the land of the indian. is that 40 from the city,

from the most highly done other tribes? and the main reason for that, i think, is korea, it's easiest including what was all as tim says to the current thing, because there are these people that are the displaced as too many id piece. come on alternative for using that on the, and on this militia that are move up to the phone so that also that going from neighboring country directly orchestra to compton based on instance, on fiber line until i also took off. it's a good deal. i think even people are talking about changing even the name of, of, of what's that 4 different name, just the the, the, the, the way the world for our division. and i think that the orchestra did, i've been going on in been going on for a very long time on that. and is curious because of the, the, the ongoing war and the 1st one that is actually futilely more, i'm acting without having interaction. are you doing an intervention in depth so um,

just keeping to enforce wrong or the, i don't think we'll see any piece and definitely, and it's going to be even worse, worse than maybe i don't want to executive, but it might be another one to all right, so, so i want to take a step back for a moment, as we mentioned, the fighting and sudan risks re igniting a decades old conflict. and the west turned off for region in 2003 answer, communal violence began when the sudanese government deployed the so called general weed militia to put down an uprising by travel groups, hundreds of thousands of people were killed. the you in says 2500000 people were displaced. the conflict ended in 2020, but violent disputes between tribes sparked by land and access to water continue. the leader of the rapids board forces, how many come down the low roads, through the ranks of the jungle. we now i don't have, let me ask you, as we mentioned there, the conflict may have ended in 2020, but violent disputes between tribes, overland, and access. to water continue, why has that continued? i think they,

the fighting between the groups that 400 that down for quite a while i was in going on, i think the, the, the new to figuration. especially in less than that for that. uh why in the 2000 in the between 2000 until 2015. the munition has uh, where a small number where under going to remove the army. uh to all the security agents just to be more precise. and the number sort of small in the past. uh, 4 or 5 years. uh, the number i gave the this yeah, was given it for money. uh, uh, does ignition as of the support forces, which was sort of sparking security uh, operates,

i suddenly became part of the army. and then it became independent of the army. and it was given heavy weapons which do you have in the past. that was given a kind of a fish of actuated kids. now appreciate it. a government falls in the, in what's in the for. so it is supposed to be the protective a j. c. of the people that booked as happy before october. because now kendral is actually on its own account, the st. and i think this is, this is the thing that we have. we already know that because in the past or 5 years . mm. let me tell you the parties and i know with the weekend and we have these uh, this kind of samuel official, but we're all good minutes. yeah. i think and they, these people have the agenda that i've been, that has been difficult with the end of them. suddenly i'm throwing them out. and i

think this is, this is way of the one that example has, has their own or may soon as housings of people have been crossing into neighboring chad to escape the violence for those who are attempting to flee to chat. how difficult and how dangerous is that journey? i will quote my colleagues again in this uh they said to try to move to a place of safety across the border within. so don is a quote, a suicide mission. it is incredibly difficult. and so many people to manage to get out, but it's a great cost many to stay. and because of the history of the conflict in places like of janina, the concentrate, the populations tend to be concentrated in highly populated residential residential areas which would seem to be safe front at the beginning of this conflict. those weren't able to leave into large of ex student dormitories to try that shelter. and those were showed since then there's an estimated 2200000,

internally displaced with an engineering and living in open air with no shelter, their safety and the quote again, they say every one of these heavily populated neighborhoods. but when the militia enter, they burn it down to the ground, they rob and pillage, and they killed, especially those who are unable to run the elderly, handicapped, a, and the blind. and we've had from our colleagues, the reports of violence against women, especially gender, sexual based violence in terms of rake. again, the decision to leave is difficult in front of the decision to stay. sometimes not a decision you just have to stay is definitely a m a soon. i just want to follow up with you to ask about the kind of access that humanitarian groups have been able to to get. i mean,

is that just not happening right now? is there any hope that there could be a humanitarian core door setup or that humanitarian actors would be able to access the people who need aid and, and medical help the most that i can summarize the mentor access and we're one word at the moment, which is not there is no human strain access into engineering that even within the, within the city itself, just moving about to provide support for members of your own community can be dudley. and so much of the response that is being mounted is very much a localized community lead effort. and it is extremely hampered by the security situation. you know, colleagues describe scenes of just stepping out of their house, putting out a handout or a foot out and being shut up by snipers. so what they're having to do and also help workers are being targeted. what they're having to do in some places is operate what they call secret neighborhood clinics. the,

the clinics are hidden from the outside that are only available to those who know how to get there and, and are close to it. this is of course, not feeling in the void in any way. so of course we've asked what is it that you need? and they said what we need quickly and urgently security. and provision of the humanitarian quarter is to provide basic health services to provide establish displace people comes with full services to those folks. but the reality is that we don't know when that came out of turn in court or is going to be open to them. and not the obvious to be the focus, right? we need to push for that. there is no way around it so long as people can step outside of their houses. no one is safe, not inside engineering and coming in. so when we want to or is inability to map those 1st responders to understand who is doing what's where and calling really for the humanitarian health community to change talking to change tact quickly, we need to adjust to the situation and support those 1st responders who are already

on the ground by any means necessary. and i think in that case they can take example from civil society. they ask for groups like this. we was union groups in the u. k. who have them all the lies to support community leather and steps and clicks like lead and head fuss, providing whatever they can from a distance to mobilize, those helicopters that are inside the city to get them through until those 2, military and quarters are open. half of how much concern is there right now about unrest in western dar for the stabilizing neighboring countries. in particular, chad for example, a different definitely that the magnitude of displacement and people actually move on to to, to check the sofa avenue appears ability to provide some support because the infrastructure in chinese is, is very poor and they're tied into or 70 hesitated clearly that they are not

able to provide the need to support for these people on, on that, as i've seen that clear. and if the confident continue with the same limit, and i think we wouldn't see more people fleeing to tie them center elastic, discontinue, they've, since i wrote this table, they have web security problems. they help you know it problems and that's going to come pretty good solution. even more i think that is along with i'm saying is we really need a human with area. and protection for this people is be dealing with the own with that i just didn't allow access to do with their work or to work on cause or to protect them. because the main problem is, is no protection, because most of them actually agencies working on what they didn't withdraw the the stuff because that they cannot secure the data to access to have access to, to get to these people. i think what do we need, need it again. if we want to, i please to go to 10. the, the disappointment,

to some extent is to have forced which provide protection for going with and what because i'm also the fact that visit if used because the issue that in is coming on people out. i'm going to be up front of the course that isn't appropriate. ok, what is a problem for you is a problem and then we would drop it is due to displacement. i'm also writing because it is just going to start and then it's going to complicate the problem even more here to get an action is needed from the national committee. otherwise i had to just talking to people who lose that life. i didn't have any of the cease fires that have gone into effect up until now have they done anything to less in the violence in western dot 4? and also, are there any concrete steps that can be taken in order to try to get things under control and are for it should be unequivocal. the message sent to the leader to virginia. read that if this does not stop and stop now,

i know for she does not stop what she's doing. you start to actually buy your multiple times and people's home and paradise. the people who should he's organization can be declared that kind of this organization. and who should be hunted? i think you'll have this is the only way you can stop what's happening that i'll go out, i'm sorry to bother you. sorry to interrupt you we, we just have a minute left. i want to ask them a soon. one last question here may soon, from your perspective, what has to happen in order to ensure that either a humanitarian core door can be set up or that people who are most in need of aid can get it to us? the $1000000.00 question, i will tell you that that answer has to come from external sources. the people of this region have been subjected to compound compound vulnerabilities. we're not talking about a war inflicted on yesterday for a month ago or 2 months ago. we go back 20 years. these are communities that have been brought down to their needs and so their essential resilience and their ability to speak out and to,

to change things on their own is not their. and so my colleagues have alluded to the fact that the external pressures are absolutely essential. they are trying to amplify their voices to describe what, how on earth they are living in. but they can not be asked to do more than survive at the moment. and so to open these corridors, we need to continue to put the pressure externally and to make spaces where we can little and as a can credit the current in increment until is, is a way forward. but i think in the meantime, let's be realistic. those people who are on the ground are responding as we need the support. now we cannot wait and there are ways to be able to do that. we need to put the caps on and to follow the lead of civil society here, which i've still an incredible way forward. all right, well, we have run out of time, so we're gonna have to leave the conversation there. thanks so much to all of our

guests, half of them how much may seem to have and how do i have offended? and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website. i'll just here at com and further discussion go to our facebook page, that's facebook dot com, forward slash age and side story. you can also, during the conversation on twitter or handle is add a j inside story for me and how much enjoy them and the entire team here, bye. for now, the, the the 1st episode of the series exposed the imperial origins of the drug trade. commerce

was good, fire, fire was good for the former, so these things very much wanted and opiates passage from the far east to europe and the united states. guns need money, only money in these mountains is open. drug trafficking politics, some power, the era of empires on the waiting on a response. even people far away are so helping with the environment. problems in amazon because their consumers i teach kids about us and our oceans are facing today. i've been working in her just tried to find ways to get this language. kids, what do we do? and what are you going to do to keep the oceans cling? these are language that keeps the red blood women very, but they have one, several backs over in their 5 point one. if you've got them arrogant. the thing say that texting women remains a challenge and the regions will not stop being pro like i want to sleep.

we don't have to leave them in study, thinks about 2 weeks now by 6 johnny to show something. right? so i want this choice, our country, and someone's needs to review, to join the global conversations to just say the solution is no good. the people industry could be convenient to say, this is a dialogue. we don't always talk to people that have different opinions that we do . everyone has the police must have it here is that society doesn't do enough to recognize and celebrate women. it was fun. this was fun to have an american occupation of the meetings to the countries. the street on algae 0, the.
