this field from jail any surprise gesture of conciliation by the regime will all be come to solve the struggle will continue. on to the street off the floor in the truck drive while working in south africa the speech. has left at least 12 people. you're welcome to the show the civil war in south sudan erupted in 2013 just a year and a half after the country gained independence since then it's thought more than 400000 people have been killed it countless number have been raped tortured or disappeared and millions of people displaced but few betrayed says the violence have been persecuted now on the scenes and the reports. documenting what it calls

of the south sudanese government's to deliver justice although both governments and opposition forces of committed crimes on this is this they have been the lead its inmates investigations persecutes is on courts like independence on blankets immunity has been granted to suspects of crimes i'm misty is calling on the african union to set up its own tribunal to investigate crimes in south sudan from on this save joins us from our studio in nairobi he's deputy director for amnesty international east africa the horn on the grave leaks hello seif thanks for your time now south sudan's government says your report's findings does not correspond with the reality in the country what do you say to that well thanks for having me that is really something that would expect them to say but we've reached out to them officially giving them details of our findings 2 months ago we wish to

be a judicial review to the office of the president and they did not get up to us on any of the specific. findings that we make and if they had something to say they would of told us at that stage to let us know that there is anything that they dispute but one thing is for sure if you can even look for yourself there is not been any not even one case or not not not even one case in court trying anybody who is suspected of complicity or perpetrating serious you're serious crimes such as in the libbers killing of civilians such as the rapes and sexual violence in the country north will be one case in any of their civilian courts ok now what does the government gain from feeling to deliver justice. well from the or the or

the from or the such it would seem that they're looking the justice and accountability but why they're doing that we can't we can't say really because. suddenly come from that there is a deliberate attempt to block and obstruct justice through a number of measures or what they're doing that when they themselves agree to form the hybrid court force out saddam transfer of ability for these crimes leaves us buffaloed yes what some of those in the country has seen the us saying that the country should prioritize its stuff billets see before accountability that makes sense. no awfully doesn't because you think that this is a totally false or false distinction between the 2 the piece is part of justice is part of this and sustainability are the reason why crimes continue to or

condiment us political to talk is because the deterrence all of this and accountability has been thrown out and people the people no one sees anybody getting held on for the crimes they've committed and this is why we're having this spiral valis continuing because those who commit that that is i don't get into account then the sensibilities constrain vegas ok now your outfit has called on the african union to set up its own tribunals to investigate crimes in south sudan how feasible is that. it is absolutely feasible but that is not the starting point what we're still calling on is often government to take measures to form these hybrid court or what they're saying now is that given that 5 years of past since the great before me time to haven't taken any concrete measures to do so we are calling on the african union to to continue to press them into doing that but

give them a founded line not exceeding 6 months if they continue to develop on this mata then the african union should set up. and that whole tribe you know to investigate and prosecute these cases itself ok save deputy director for amnesty international east africa the horn on the great lakes thank you. now in a position lead out merced come to has vowed to continue the fight against president poll bia the stronger who's led the country for nearly 4 decades come to was released from prison on the weekend of conciliation by the b r e g he told his supporters that his the brazen did not mean the end of the struggle . you are. free at last morris come to is created by hendrix of supporters within the camerons opposition leaders spent 9 months in jail

show that government has good feet and then we can skin the how they can implementing some of the order recommendations temple and he supporters say they're ready to continue their political fight which they say is now entering a new and peaceful stage. niger and preston. condemned recent violence in south africa an embarrassment for the continent harvey was speaking in johannesburg at the end of a state visit to the country the trip has been overshadowed by spate of recent attacks against foreign workers in south africa at least 12 people were killed in the violence and many still lives and increase reports on the situation of foreign truck drivers in durban south africa. durban this africa's most important trading hub hundreds of trucks decked thai with goods leave every night pounds for

other parts of the country the truck driver who calls himself nick is from zimbabwe he doesn't want to tell us his real name because he feels she'll be targeted he says these days he's more afraid of xenophobic attacks than traffic accidents i don't feel very myself. i don't feel very myself. why is this. going to come next maybe any time you know it can be attacked now we don't know. in the last few months alone they have been dozens of os in attacks in the region leaving several people dead or seriously injured most of the targets trucks with drivers from other parts of africa. this transit area for truck drivers on the end 3 motorway along the river has seen several violent attacks. it's going to be us i'm telling you it's going to have us it's getting way so dangerous. because we see

new people here with a day if the understand that now and the day you feel. a lot of people that are sitting at home. following the incidence police arrested members of the all truck drivers foundation or a.t.f. the head of the organ. zation says it has nothing to do with the violence but most of its 5000 members are unemployed and frustrations. by the end of the 2 days of course you know how can you kill somebody from another country they're paid to do the job that i can do here. understand the. people to leave them there will be this. company lost 30 percent of its turnover due to the on the wrist 2 of the company's

trucks were set on fire that is a reprise entity for an employer's union and a.t.f. responsible for the violence he estimates that only one in 3 truck drivers come from other countries in africa most of them are working legally here and therefore should be protected by the state. south africa come to the conclusion that the foreign nationals are illegal and they need to exit south africa then they must publicly announce it in government and for that i think they need to pass the legislation and only the government officials in parliament can make that decision it's not up to ourselves everybody is blaming the other side here with no solution in sight what is clear though the government and the security forces have repeatedly failed to protect truck drivers and their trucks and with the unemployment rates going up currently it already stands at about 30 percent the problem is likely to flare up again in the future. back at the moire river there's

a glimmer of hope many south african truck drivers here shamed of the violence and are demanding an end to it they say they're happy to work with colleagues from abroad. it's a pity because it we who also do the cross border as well you see. so whether we're to live in we're going that site you see. on my side that's my side of my view now that i can see. that side like doing something like that. that they don't spit. nick from zimbabwe hopes that the situation will improve soon so that he can work without fearing for his life. the unrest has at least opened the debate between all sides now they just need a solution. that's it for now from africa you can catch all
