isolation ward and crossed into uganda the minister for used to gondor swift response. i don't know they carried out a thorough investigation on the ugandan side he identified 8 points of contact people who had contact with this family. and now the ugandan authorities will vaccinate all 8 contacts starting this friday and will also ensure that all health professionals in the district are vaccinated. milan authorities have now confirmed that 35 people were killed in a massacre in central mali on sunday night gunmen surrounded the village of sobhani die in an ethnic doggoned enclave in the 7. fears of tit for tat violence in the region and ethnic patchwork where tensions have soared since the violent jihad is led movement imagine to into 15 and that's this fight the presence of international

combat forces german troops taking part in 2 un missions in africa's the whole region trying to keep people safe but it's commanders say that increasingly concerned about the effectiveness of the fs and. these are german bundeswehr soldiers talking to mali and cattle herders they're looking to make contact with the locals while out on foot patrol in the province around gowan eastern mali they want to help people feel safe but they're also gathering information about recent violence security is a problem and tensions have soared here there's ongoing conflict between the country's ethnic groups and the growing threat of islam isolation in schools something you shall know that's the simple i think it's a good thing that we're here on the one hand if we weren't things would be even worse and on the other we're trying to help people but of course we can only act within the framework of the un mandate and that means there are certain limitations and certain possibilities of this type. it's the job of this un peace mission to

stop attacks and stabilize the situation here dozens of countries are taking part germany has sent about $750.00 soldiers and they're based at a campaign get out but despite an international un troop presence since 2013 ethnic conflicts are getting worse dozens of people were killed on sunday in the center of the country where there are hardly any troops or security forces the money director of the german n.g.o.s who says the u.n. missions mandate just isn't broad enough. to send him alone they may have a presence in the country but they're in the camp or in barracks. and they have a mandate that 1st and foremost says they're supposed to monitor things. you fat doesn't really help the people. training money in combat and security forces is also part of the job molly ins are taught how to shoot about military

strategy and how to map read at an office a school in cooley kaoru. german brigadier general peter marrow has been leading the e.u. training mission in mali now he's. thing the baton on to an austrian with mixed feelings. among them to hear him talking and if every day you encounter a worsening security situation notice that security in mali has significantly deteriorated since november there is interest nick violence at the center of mali this resulted in substantial casualties and that is indeed cause for concern. unless it was organise. into communal violence has killed hundreds in mali this year alone the hardest attacks have multiplied in recent years and millions are growing increasingly frustrated by authorities failure to offer than adequate protection. joining me now is the fred who recently visited the region and has been

closely monitoring the situation hello frank good to see you show the un and e.u. training missions leave the country because it seems the situation is getting worse i mean the last. dozens killed. yeah yeah yeah that's true there have been. there. but also based on this issue of training. which are some e.u. countries are taking part they are very important and they are contributing to have these countries like mari broken off or so to control or all to tackle the issues of militant groups so i think it's a serious situation but also it can be controlled. study very serious and it's very serious also very complicated how complicated exactly is it fred. yeah of

course it's it's a very complicated situation because of the killings in the region. and there have been some options on the table trying to train their. soldiers in and make money and broken off or so but the issue is complex because these are just communities like ordinary people who are fighting each other because of resources because of poverty because of. resources so without talking the issue of resources i don't think the military options on the table can solve the problem in mali or an account 3 and around this ahead of the region i see what is really needed then to stabilize the country. there is need for international community to invest in projects that can help young

people have access to jobs and also trying to. not turn a young people while recruited by these militant groups but also even old people because they don't have jobs they don't have food so for that reason they're friendlies and these doggone communities are fighting because they don't have resources so there is a need to create job opportunities for young people on their own people but also there is an issue. of governance and they need to because there have been discussion that the government of mica is incompetent ok i guess that opens another can of worms and there's no time to get into that thank you very much at federal felony africa thank you heidi. now for many nigerians this man symbolizes democrats he will shoot you are beulah is being
