this is deja news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes rebels they can target ebola treatment centers in north eastern congo with the violence showing no signs of facing up to how likely is it that the outbreak will spread beyond the to come to these provinces it's currently raging in. the small community taking on big developed as how cape town's book cost residents off izing to save their homes from brad pitt urbanization. them in his spirit we need to tanzania as a 1st male model with go and learn how he's pushing the race skin condition under the spotlight.

i'm christine want to welcome to deja news africa i'm glad you're cheating day and we begin in the democratic republic of congo where the military is having to protect ebola her health workers after attacks on treatment centers the violence is defying if it's to curb the spread off the virus this is the 2nd worst ebola outbreak on record it's been centered on the north keevil and tory provinces in the north east off the country so far about $1600.00 people in the 2 regions have been infected with the virus since mid last year and more than a 1000 people have died now the presence of warring groups mixed with people steep to distrust off the government and outside as is hampering the ebola response. the body on the ground based the aftermath of another attack on an ebola treatment center security forces managed to fight off the attack was carried out by your mind by rebel group. one of many operating in congo's volatile northeast. if they get

you if they knew one of the guards came to tell us not to panic and. made a new battle they said told him the center was under attack that. it was the precarious security situation in this part of the country has complicated efforts to control the outbreak the various rebel groups have been accused of spreading rumors about their own political gain this is adding to an environment of distrust towards health workers some villages believe the disease was created to take their money. false information sometimes birds much quicker than correct information for for the most part denying a bowler is very dangerous disposal this is as we often say that people will die of ignorance but we're trying to fight this ignorance in the population got us. you know an effective vaccination program has halted the spread in some northeastern

towns. but others particularly prone to rebel groups have seen a spike in new cases the world health organization is now warning there is a risk infections could spread to other provinces in a statement last week it said without commitment from all groups to cease these attacks it is unlikely that this outbreak can remain successfully contained in north kivu in the cherry provinces. until the insecurity stops and until rebel groups stop weaponize in the villages fear and mistrust they will continue to find a fertile breeding ground. to get an update on the situation i'm joined by head the d.r. c's country director for say the children will come to africa where the what health workers on the ground tell you are they afraid. yes some of them

because they're. scared him by islands in some of the areas where we're responding to the a bowl or a break i mean particularly in good tempo where we had the tragic and happened where we had the tragic killing of the cameroonian doctor recently and devoted treatment centers have been attacked and they've been various violent demonstrations so it's made it very hard to. get some of the help but it's going to actually go out. and that's why you see scale in the cases of ebola recently. but it's not i mean tempered why it's particularly bad if we work in any way things are a little comma right. now health workers have been able to go out and was ok so if you're talking about an upscale in the cases but i think a lot of people will be awesome the question is this outbreak likely to spread outside of the borders of where it just kind of contained. it could

easily do that you know at the moment it is contained within 21 different health in north and the jury where it's been for some time but i mean you know you can easily spread across the border into uganda. or move southwards towards goma i think the banks and nation campaign has been a real success and i think this is one of the reasons why it hasn't yet moved across borders or the south had they in our reports we heard that there is a mistrust among the congolese people off the health officials what can be done because this is some of the reasons why people don't go and seek treatment. well what we really need is. more community engagement so more engagement with the community we need to listen to the community and one of the things they've told me

is that their insecurity is what they're most worried about they are worried about a boat or course but they you know there's being insecurity going on around any. and that's what worries them and also the fact that they health care and education for their children and so they say they want more than just a boat a response i think we need to look at their response in a more holistic way and then we'll have more success with the communities and the have more trust in the people responding to the outbreak all right that's d.r. c. country director phil save the children talking to us from kinshasa thank you. thank you. it's to cape town now ali a city rapidly developing increasing the demand for prime property in the city center now as you'll see it on next reports that spit home one of the city's oldest

residential areas against big development companies. dramatic scenes from november last year stun grenades go off as residents of cape town's historic neighborhood protest against construction in the area. the clash with the police epitomizes a battle that has been going on for years. the background lines in the history of the area cop is the oldest residential neighborhood in cape town and home to south africa's oldest muslim community the roughly 6000 residents are mostly from a working class background. their colorful houses are a major tourist attraction. but cape town is developing quickly in recent years luxury high rises have sprung up in the area much to the

anger of local residents. developers all squashing us say this don't hear about us so far in other words it was so cool the apartment blocks the cost from 2000000000 to 13000000 we cannot afford to pay that kind of rates because our work place immediately increases in terms of their valuation 1000 ahmed is one of many residents who have been trying to gain heritage status for the area. the process has been small. but during a recent community meeting minister for arts and culture not. declared 19 areas and bulk up national heritage sites. a victory for the community.

something that we've been working towards a long time. we're very happy and we hope it will. protect our community. we're facing gentrification and we believe that the story assist in. preserving our community is the announcement follows a decision by the city of cape town to include in a heritage zone the heritage status stipulates that new buildings and alterations to existing structures have to complement the historic landscape of the neighborhood according to city councillor marianne. it's low road spaulding's it's flat roof golding's it's assaults it's. all that's uniquely within the book or any other operations or walding needs to speak to too that the state takes what sounds good on paper is in fact

a belated decision the heritage policy cannot be applied retroactively. we cannot cite the rights that's already time was in a decision of council so those things if they do have. approved plans. can continue the much contested luxury developments will be completed it's a tainted victory for the bulk up. now this stunning canadian model you see behind me is breaking the mold of what is considered peaceful when he has the skin condition which causes white patches to appear on the skin and she still graces catwalks around the world in tanzania another model with that is challenging the notion of what is beautiful. it's taken a long time for mickey dale to feel comfortable in front of the camera he has to
