good job it is. surely to boost from africa and the world we're going to exceptional stories and discussion. is a busy hour with cindy debbie to come so much to join us on facebook. this is dede of the news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes the new dispensation deploring old tactics rights groups say zimbabwe's innocence outlet has presided over a brutal crackdown on human rights and he's 1st yet in office. the way we don't be afraid very afraid of demonstrating getting caught simply because of politics. and will take you to the place refugees from. now have to call home.

hello i'm christine want to welcome to news africa it's good to have you along zimbabwe has seen as a series of violent crackdowns against protest is and the banning of anti-government demonstrations in the past weeks people want to take to the streets to highlight the country's 6 economy and human rights abuses they're disappointed with the performance of president innocent he was inaugurated one year ago today following the all stayed off long term leader robert mugabe will talk to someone from the government shortly but 1st let's take a look at the situation in the zimbabwe. i never goes in bob when celebrated hoping for a better future after decades of authoritarian rule under robert mugabe at his inauguration president and a small and promised change there is. gentlemen are now amateurs there are no more

do you learn air in remission. but daily life is still tough zimbabweans queue day and night for cash and fuel food prices are rising sharply economists say the country is in an economic meltdown the 1st protests start at the beginning of the year when man and god bless government hiked the price of fuel by 130 percent police shoot at protesters leaving at least 17 people did and scholes injured. in early august the united nations announces that about 5000000 zimbabweans one 3rd of the population is a need of food aid many are close to starvation. and the government bans protests called by the opposition those who defy the ban and turn

up anyway a tear gassed and beat. leaving many zimbabweans angry and frustrated and moving out of the way and that wherever i am well i don't know not been cool enough or do everything well somewhat the way everybody restaurant did every without people home or it could not then protest bans are still in place your position though has vowed not to give up and push for change many activists feel that their right to speak out has become even more difficult if not impossible and among gaga recently there are reports of abductions and torture like that suffered by. i think deceased i don't even feel free to express myself on social media anymore after this ordeal i don't even feel free to walk the streets of not because of anything but just because there is this

menace out there amnesty international in its latest report says man and god was 1st year in office is marked by a quote systematic and brutal crackdown on human rights. let's go over to harare way of nickname what is standing by he is the permanent secretary for information published city and broadcasting services welcome to africa mr i'm gonna write scripts and perhaps i want to quote amnesty international here say president emerson i was 1st year in office has been mocked by a quote systemic and brutal crackdown on human rights what's your response to that . that's what. presidents remember was 1st year in office as you rightly pointed out has been a mug's. resistance or a limited put it this way. machinations from an opposition but somehow believes

that the government of the day should save its pleasure and should be overthrown is and when that opposition wishes which is not really an opposition in any jurisdiction you can think of so when it comes to issues of security you can see you it has been marred by periods we the states is secure words its citizens. assets are actually they have missed among one of because the very citizens you're talking about many of them have been injured simply for going to the streets to express their frustration at the economic situation i'm sure you would appreciate to say that zimbabwe's economic situation is dire is perhaps an understatement why do you seemingly attributes people's frustration to an opposition plot. well it's not it's not it's when you're sick of that that was sinister clear that to the overthrow the government they smoke this secret that they have staged 2023

is too far for them. it's not so secret that they have said that this year president of pop they would have taken him out of pot not none of those actions. should the question of course is very clear if they really believe that the president isn't a couple suited to an issue in any shape or form they can ask for an impeachment right they can. begin to they can reconcile to impeach him mr and that's the process right that's much to overthrow him socially but what is constitutional is the rights to freedom of expression and that's something that president has said that he will uphold but when zimbabweans take to the streets peacefully in many cases as we've seen police respond very heavy handedly your government just calling for a relief of economic sanctions but do you believe that that's possible for the international community to do with the amount of violence against the citizens committed by the state. i think. position or you know your question is

premised on a very iranian position the 1st thing is you can say that the us won 2018 was possible because we had cars being painted on the streets we had shops being waited on the streets with people wearing zanu p.f. rebel of being molested we had banners been being vandalized every way and today i mean that means that the city was in flames then we moved to for 14 to 16 january we had the same scenario shops being looted we had the policemen being bludgeoned to death we had promised the stations under siege dockets been stolen and being destroyed and people going for the armory is that peaceful and should they should they stayed still aside and let that happen nor they shouldn't we do think the state is worried when people will go on the streets and present to put it petition in peaceful in a peaceful manner that is very doable that's a little bit concerned but that's who we are what we're concerned about the security of the people who just went from one end of the street to one of the town

to the other i say with a petition here it's as up into before it's happened on the 28th of november and didn't you know you're going to be remembered to do mr because because this has the opposite is concerned if there is male incidents there's no they haven't expressed themselves right all right mr mcgregor we must leave it chad but thank you very much we appreciate you having on but i think there are many questions to be on city have perhaps what a lot of zimbabweans what would perhaps express is as you say that the government is looking to protect citizens citizens are particularly fearful of the the very government that you say is seeking to protect them that's why i believe that mr mr i want to involve a government spokesperson for zimbabwe thank you. it's too you know they say nigeria now where the boko haram insurgency and attacks by armed bandits are causing thousands of people to flee their homes in borno state

many are seeking refuge in mongolia where they are protected to some extent by the military base outside of the town. but camps here are overflowing with aid agencies warning of a dire situation was able to access the town by helicopter to get a glimpse at life in the middle of boko haram territory. mangano one of the few towns in the vicinity of lake chad that promises a shelter from boko her arms violent attacks but the camps here are overcrowded and overstretched things have reached a critical level there's not enough food not enough shelter more than 600 people share a single torn up. nor does the town of a real security even though the region's main base has been built next to mangano attack still regularly occur. just a few days before we arrived members of the so-called islamic state of west africa

stormed into the town leaving 5 civilians dead and several others injured. to my unit and her family were at the market when the attack happened there was nowhere to escape she explains as mongolia has only one entry and exit point they were praying that the attackers would leave soon such incidents leave them feeling vulnerable but the mother of seven's biggest worry is not having enough food for her children often all she has is maize pirates to offer them. no good cloths not enough food and no real shelter how should anyone find peace of mind here. even our room sleep when it rained on us. she came to mongolia to escape hunger and violence but life here is anything but relaxed and safe. and for many children too the future looks bleak most of them don't

receive any education when basic essential food are in short supply schooling is low on the priority list. for us how our mohammed puts it when you're hungry you can't know. she's 70 years old arrived in mongolia just a couple of months ago she was shocked about the situation in the village. thinking i'm like yeah i'm worried that if the children don't go just school that instead join armed groups and grow up stealing. how i used to live as official woman in the far north eastern port town of baka. massacres by boko her rum and food shortages made her flee. as. the men used to return around one at night from the lake and wait prepared to fish for them in the morning. but now there are no more fish and.

she fled to mangano only to discover that things here aren't much better. people depend on dozens of n.g.o.s to feed them. and because that's not enough they look for other solutions some go into the bush to fell trees and risk falling into the hands of boko haram who will be on get up if there's no food to eat and no water to drink people go into the bush and collect firewood they want to sell. that's why firewood is becoming scarce the hot weather be deviled us cutting down trees is also accelerating the process of turning the region into arid wasteland that's a challenge n.g.o.s tied up in emergency response and shortage of food supplies can't even begin to focus on. currently there is no room for long term strategies though that's exactly what's needed in the room without urgent change the conflict is likely to simply ask
