rebels now despite significant international if it's the violence is not letting up islamist groups saw increasingly using central and northern mali as a known pad for attacks across the sahara region on its ripostes axis to the northern city of timbuktu which has borne the brunt of the assaults. the u.n. force aims to maintain security in timbuktu. the devastation throughout this desert city pairs witness to the crisis in mali. the airport is in ruins following an attack last year. there are no scheduled flights in or out of timbuktu. it is quiet in the city for the moment the un mali mission has deployed soldiers and police here. they patrol around
4:21 am
the clock in order to prevent renewed attacks. on the united nations. times in timbuktu. by terrorist groups terrorist groups have their bases. extremely vast area the size of france the fifty thousand residents of timbuktu feel this threat every day. before the conflict erupted in two thousand and twelve the city was a popular tourist destination it was also a trading hub but they rebels and jihadists of course the economy to collapse. has brought her twins to hospital they are both sick she used to be a successful produce merchant but now she doesn't have the money to pay for their medicine. good the bad before the crisis i had a good life i traded with on the villages and my husband was a builder so we traveled a lot of me and to living now it's too dangerous to travel.
4:22 am
conditions are terrible and food is often in short supply many children are in urgent need of medical treatment those living in villages out in the desert have hardly any access to help the few hospitals in timbuktu are swamped with patients. who lives on four corners for the children that we see here in the hospital are very very ill. they're not only malnourished they have other serious illnesses. for example malaria. or respiratory diseases such as pneumonia they're often in critical condition. the situation is unlikely to improve unless the warring par. he's renew their commitment to ending the conflict a two thousand and fifteen accord set out a peace process that's hardly been upheld in the past few weeks alone many people have been killed in terror attacks. on hundred the terms of the peace accord former

rebel fighters are supposed to be integrated into the army but progress has been slow the fear is that they will take up arms again unless their prospects improve resources here at home has been scarce it's an intense struggle for the little that remains i'd like to bring in orally until the from the stockholm international peace research institute also known as slippery he is senior research on the hill region he's joining us from the swedish capsule stockholm mississippi grace have you on that deed to africa i'm in twenty fifteen mahdi's government signed a peace agreement with some of the armed groups but the jihad just remained active why was that process simming seemingly ineffective. twenty fifty five it's. just one part of it. we should refer to.
4:24 am
both of you to give you. a tour through two thousand and twelve it seems that the twelve has evolved as you said with no new writers. or bridging north. central. just a piece. right so i mean as you say there it is a complex mix of plot the sort of the tribalism issues you've now got the jihadist threat and i wondered if that complicates any effort to try and get it to quash this insurgency as a whole. yes of course i mean i actually was in the north for quite well i don't like this new trace of peace begins and these are just contacts we can actually negotiate with problem one of the problems with the jihadist groups is that they're not really identified but not ready to negotiate so it's very very difficult when terry to be scared about. the actors in central about you know really well i didn't
4:25 am
like this need to fight american things such as the one that begins here. all right i mean a lot of people might be familiar with the fact that a lot of international resources have been committed to this case we've got thousands of foreign troops in mali i think france and no one has about four thousand five hundred yet these attacks are just raging why is that also proving ineffective this is true and this is a very big problem it is no question like most. french to mention somebody. we've had to reach pensions you've got three nights in african union mission we're not a u.n. mission which is extremely loving and what we see is that this if you're used in syria so everybody agrees that security is a problem the civility. but i think one of the major problems is that we haven't defined security well what are the security priorities of fifty percent of them and what do we need to invest in the sale that's if you build them and i think the
4:26 am
ability to deter between the international community the other governments and the completion that sales and that's not a huge problem right last one very quickly i mean we're talking about a country that we will once quoting the beacon of stability it's now bogged down with all of this violence people are wondering is a country with a significant isn't population lagaan a for example going to be next i mean what is the how how do we sort of cope this problem on the continent. i think religion is not necessarily the product year but it is true that you have. some faith in the money going to safety to be relatively stable and relatively so it's actually all these hypothesis and these assumptions about the united states prove to be untrue and in fact i see no. need to. the weakness of the states in being an illegitimate allocator of disputes and that's a key problem and actually it should be
