part of the congo the east and bad especially in beni this is i mean most of 5 years 5 year many people died in this part of como they have been snorted every day if today and yesterday people are going in this tree to bring the administration is just because they want to tell the rest of the world and especially the people in kinshasa that they want something to happen and they want something to taking charge of the situation and that this massacre and. what exactly has been their response to. this is not the 1st time let me remind you in 2014 people was against again in the street demonstrating there was asking when you school to do something because monusco is supposed to be the peace peacekeeping force of the un in the congo but according to people in bin if you ask them question they will tell you that they have they feel like muesli is not doing

anything but if you ask monusco that will tell you that dad giving support to denationalize. that helping them to route to walk very. efficient way to stop this massacre especially my cycle with been made by the a.t.f. so that trying to walk very odd but according to people this is not enough so they try and try and. much more is needed now tell us more about the militias why they killing people. we have to go back in history if we go back in history you have to know that according to many reports made by the un or many other people this militia is coming straight from uganda they have been in congo since 90 in the ninety's they called the a.d.f. they're coming from there was indeed opposition but we've made and then they decided to move back into congo to prepare their return in uganda but since then

that day there have been staying in congo they've been using their manner and resources and we don't know exactly what the motivation of the a.d.f. of killing people you can be in a country and used all their mind their own resources but not killing people and this is the question who's coming all the time we don't know exactly why they're acting dissuade to slaughter people and kill them and to kidnap them. now before you go the way forward with all of this i mean this has been going on for a while now. we don't know exactly you know if you let me remind you that when finished president of the cold war was doing his campaign last year he made many promises he said that he wants to put the edge quiete of the nation that i am in been need to stop this killings since he had been elected he didn't do anything could he have sent gen off i mean in disgrace to convince people to stop back

to nothing and this is why we have all these people doing the most gracious they want the power. to remain to be reminded all the promises they made according to dispatch so we are waiting maybe one day to give you make a statement and maybe the change will come back for the moment people are still in the street asking for peace definitely looking forward to that change when the bus you from did africa thank you very much for the time thank you. now refugees in south africa are crying foul about what they see inefficiencies and corruption within the system thousands of people mostly africans are fled to south africa in the past decade seeking asylum bought one refugee from the d.r. c. is doing his best to ensure that refugees are protected from victimization. reports from johannesburg. like i did somebody has decided to stand up for it
