across the plains of the country submerging entire towns rescue teams are still plucking people from the water but thousands still remain trapped the flooding has created a muddy inland ocean with farms and villages used to be mozambique's government estimates that one thousand people may have died. sidetone also hit zimbabwe the flash floods and landslides have swept away much of the major infrastructure in the eastern province bordering mozambique corresponded privileged filed this report from the. burying of flood victims above money money district the elderly man died when a month's lord crushed his home. i'm in pain. my father in law had a painful death after the house collapsed because of the cycle and it's hard to

accept that he died that way and what got home to me is sure we are fortunate that our mother survived. that she was rescued alive so he's cool that that the official death toll from cycling you die in zimbabwe stands at around one hundred but hundreds more injured money money are missing feared dead people worry they won't have a body to bury with reports of corpses floating down stream into neighboring mozambique flash floods and landslides swept through this region leaving piles of rubble behind. by desperate moments and a desperate situation for the two money money community in the eastern part of zimbabwe where this community was that had this to hit when psycho in the days swept through more subject and zimbabwe you see some of them have lost their entire belongings and they have nothing that they asked to or do onto. and

nothing to do but wait. to move would all of those. men and did their home off my family we've affected because we are there to think don't we have nothing to. prove here ourselves it's not what this disaster is heartbreaking my only consolation is that my family and i are life people. help is patchy roads and bridges that haven't been swept away are often still impassable. helicopters are lifting up the critically injured when they can low cloud means they can only fly occasionally. a p since he said he's. been crushed by the model or storms or houses for doing over doing so many fractures broken leaves. doctors who say they are now seeing wounds turn

septic because it's taking so long to reach the injured for those bringing help it's a race against time on next story is in mali where the start of this week saw the most deadly attack against the country's on me this year at least twenty soldiers were killed when suspected hardest stormed a camp in the central region a modest government has been struggling to stabilize the security situation since twenty twelve that was off to a coup so the northern part of the country for two jihad linked to al qaeda and allied rebels not despite significant international efforts the violence is not letting up islamist groups are increasingly using central and northern mali as a norge pad for attacks across the sahara region on its reports as to the northern city of timbuktu which has borne the brunt of the assaults. on the un force

aims to maintain security in timbuktu. the devastation throughout this desert city bears 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 u.n. mali mission has deployed soldiers and police here. they patrol around the clock in order to prevent renewed attacks. the united nations. times. by terrorist groups groups. 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 have caused the economy to collapse. the moment 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. 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. the children that we see here in the hospital are very very ill. never get there

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 parties renew their commitment to ending the conflict a two thousand and fifteen accord set out of peace process that's hardly been upheld in the past few weeks alone many people have been killed in terror attacks. under the terms of the peace accord. more 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 and toby from these structural 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 mr tobin great 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 remain active why was that process simming seemingly ineffective. twenty fifty five. success in one part of it. we should refer to. some of you ten of your. rather brutal to two thousand and twelve it seems to the twelve as a whole as you said we know how you are choosing to the sectors bridging north. central to be the best way to peace. right so i mean as you say there it is a complex mix you've got 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 sued 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 interest of peace begins these are just contacts we can actually negotiate real problems one of the problems with the jihadist groups is that they're not really identified it is not ready to negotiate so it's very very difficult to bring terri to it on the stand about. the actors in central about you know really well i didn't 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 have got thousands of foreign troops in mali i think france no it 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 in a small country like most. french to mention somebody. retired two tensions you got we had an african union mission we're not a u.n. mission which is extremely loving and you know what he sees that this if you're used to charity so everybody agrees that security is a problem in the civility. but i think one of the major problems is that we haven't defined security well one of the security priorities of fifty percent albums what do we need to address in the sale that's the key problem and i think the obesity curve between the international community to most governments and the completion of the 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 a gonna for example going to be next i mean what is that 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 state actually 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 back to see no that is. used even today to. the weakness of the states in being an illegitimate allocator of disputes and that's a key problem and actually it should be you make it bold to actually reassess the g.-g. elements in west africa and to actually see whether all support actually so hello frank states actually be more that it's and be more responsive to the populations needs. or a senior research of all this the whole region at stockholm supreme thank you. that's it from d w news africa you can catch all our stories on our website and
