truck driver was working in south africa. these 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 perpetrators of violence have been prosecuted now. there are reports documenting what it calls of the south sudanese government's to deliver justice although both government and opposition forces of committed crime. i'm this is says they have a new lead it's

a meets investigations for cicutto as 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 dangle joins us from our studio in nairobi he's deputy director for amnesty international east africa the horn on the great lakes hello steve 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 can expect them to say but we've reached out to them officially sure giving them details of our findings 2 months ago we reached out for the 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 of not not not even one case in court trying anybody who is suspected of complicity or perpetrating serious you're serious crimes such as. the liberal killing of civilians such as the rapes and sexual violence in the country northward one case in any of their civilian courts ok now what does the government gain from feeling to deliver justice. well from the the the from or the such it would seem that they're blocking 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 was also done through issue among the political these crimes leaves us buffaloed as well some of the shows in the country has seen the us seeing that the country should prioritize that stability before accountability that makes sense. no awfully doesn't because you think that this is a totally false or false distinction between the 2 of the peace is part of justice is part of peace and sustainability are the reason why crimes continue to or quantum arrest political to talk is because the deterrence all of this and accountability has been thrown out and people are the people no one sees anybody

getting on for the crimes they've committed and this is why we're having this spiral continuing because those who commit that that is a human rights violation of them get into account then the p.p. sensibilities 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 are still calling on is often government to take measures to form this hybrid court or what you're saying now is that given that 5 years of past since they're great for me then they 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 from deadline not exceeding 6 months if they continue to do that on this mata then the african union should sit up. and i took tribunals to investigate and

prosecute these cases itself ok save deputy director from is the international east africa on the great lakes thank you. now come route in the position lead up morris come to has vowed to continue the fight against president paul b.-a the strong who's led the country for nearly 4 decades comes who was released from prison on the weekend of conciliation by the be irie jean he told his supporters that his the gratian did not mean the end of the struggle. you are. free at last morris come to is greeted by hendrix of supporters living with cameron's opposition leader spent 9 months in jail facing charges of insurrection that somewhat alongside him 102 other members of his party the cameron renascence movement were released on

saturday. to find out if i didn't go to jail so that elections could be stolen no i want to change that and fight for the happiness of all our children when i went to prison because i said no to the war in the north west they change their minds in fact it's shocking we don't need any of that side of their release comes as a surprise move by paul bia the president in power for the past 37 years is aiming to strike a more conciliatory tone towards the opposition after a week of dialogue to from a national reconciliation but for many this goodwill gesture doesn't go far enough they should be general amnesty to each and every one so that we can start on a clean slate this culminating with 'd the end of the dialogue it could really show that government has good faith and then we can skin the how they can implement some of the order recommendations can tell and he supporters say they're ready to

continue their political fight which they say is now entering a new and peaceful stage. nigerian president has condemned recent violence in south africa as 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 speeds of recent attacks against foreign workers in south africa at least 12 people were killed in the violence and many still lives. increase reports on the situation of foreign truck drivers in durban south africa. durban africa's most important trading hub hundreds of trucks decked thai with goods leave every night bound 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 he would 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 that. 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 worse. because you see new people every day new people if you don't understand that now on 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. 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 a question of how can you give somebody else from another country their paper to do the job that i can do here. understand the. african people to leave them there will be a solution out of this. company lost 30 percent of its turnover due to the on the wrist 2 of the companies trucks were set on fire that is a representative for an employee's union and told 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 i shamed of the violence

and are demanding and still they say they're happy to work with colleagues from abroad. it's a pity because it we who also good across the border as well you see. so whether what will happen when we're going that site you see. on my side to that's my side of the that's my view. can see. when i'm outside like doing zambia something like that. that they don't spit. nic 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 austar is on our website and facebook page we need you now with things as south
