hello i'm christie wonderwall come to africa it's good to have your company money as president abraham has sais he is now prepared to talk with jihadist groups in the hope of ending an insurgency that's made slaves of the country ungovernable human rights watch says last year was the deadliest year for mali and since the start of the embraced in 2012th at least $456.00 civilians were killed and hundreds more wounded in central mali and the i'll be talking to an expert on mali after this report showing force showing presence the mali an army is patrolling villages in the center of the country a region prone to attacks by jihadist groups but the area is not easy to control and people keep fleeing into neighboring book enough facile. change of the murder not a fortunately the jihad is continue to come the beat. and people are fleeing here

i've just received 600 who don't have shelter they sleep outside. everyone here in this improvised refugee camp has witnessed or experienced atrocities. it's because they killed it's why we ran away when we attacked the 1st time we thought it would stop but it continued and the last time the we were free so we fled since its limits insurgency in the north of mali in 2012 the situation has worsened despite the deployment of a french 4th and to solve 13 and a peace agreement in 2015 the islamists have still been able to stage attacks in central mali. the islamists also triggered into ethnic violence leading to massacres and destruction of whole villages. now the mahdi and president even he. has decided to change his strategy. it's my duty

today on my mission to create all possible spaces. to do everything possible so that by one means or another we can achieve some sort of peace. because the number of deaths in the south held today is growing exponentially and the believe it's time that certain have been used were explored. he has sent a farmer mahdi and president on a mission to talk with the jihadists to explore the possibility of dialogue but the chances for a quick solution of the conflict are fought to below. west africa director at human rights watch has just published a report about the situation in mali and joins me now from there welcome to the africa corine in your latest report on mahdi you say that 29000 was the deadliest for civilians why has the situation cost and worse. well indeed it's important to

look at to construct our report in our findings within the context of a severe deterioration within the said hell in general that is mali burkina faso and need share as armed islamist groups are gaining strength and as the militias which have organized to counter the troops are organizing are gaining members and are engaging in these atrocities also within the wider context of the region there are a few dynamics which are really pushing serving to push young men into the arms of the jihadists and that is the lack of justice by as a result of the violence by the militia groups as well as security force violations mani's president says he wants to have dialogue with the us what's your take on that we don't take a position for or against dialogue many people here feel as though it can reduce lead to a reduction in tension but we would say that it is no substitute for the importance of justice for the atrocities which civilians from all different sides have endured

. coring here in mali you've spoken to people what's they tell you about how they feel about what's going on in the country. well i can tell you people from all different sides have suffered tremendously from the violence i mean really the accounts that i documented that our witnesses told us were absolutely heartbreaking of women having their children ripped from their arms and murdered in front of them of people who saw their parents who were too frail and old to run away burned alive in their houses people taken off buses and murdered you know they're just horrific atrocities and these families want justice and there they represent all different ethnic groups all different sides of the conflicts they all want justice and we have found that armed groups in the face of impunity and you know feel as though they can apparently if they have an apparent no apparent fear of being held to account and that is in fact embolden them to continue to commit atrocities and to

lead to this cycle of violence so dialogue or no door dialogue the families want justice for more and they want more protection as well to ensure the protection of their family. these atrocities you've also called on. to to persecute to prosecute. people what do you recommend the government. well we're urging them to to invest to systematically investigate and hold more people to account since 2015 when the war really intensified in central mali i personally documented almost 800 civilian murders by various different groups and there has been justice in only 2 of those cases one in 2016 and the other one at the end of last year so we're asking them to to apply their own laws to investigate and hold to account those responsible as

well as to increase the protection of the civilian population through patrols and through the disarming of these abusive groups. thousands of kenyans packed a stadium in the capital to bid farewell to the country's longest serving data daniel moore whose 24 year old soul kenya become a one party state was credited for maintaining stability by some and criticized for crushing dissent by. reports from nairobi. this is the situation outside the national stadium inside the dignitaries who are already mourning the conducting the national service but outside you can see groups of people who've been here some as early as 8 am wanting to get inside and despite the fact that the stadium has a 30000 people capacity there are many who are still locked out and the difficulty here is not for the security services. the.

just across from the stadium there are those who have seen the national funeral service of the former president as an economic opportunity not surprising ice cream is one of the most popular things on sale today it's quite quite another thing that's really hot on the market the kenyan flood really was after all seen as a national hero by some and it's no surprise that the national flag is out on display today with most people wanting to be associated with it. the very good so many businesses would be. a good president he was a good leader there was peace during his time and we're coming to celebrate that. but on this side of town further from the national stadium is a most somber mood what's happening inside this room is people reading personal accounts of their interactions with the former president they believe him to have been responsible for gross violations against human rights forced imprisonment as

well as torture i'm here to acknowledge the people who lost their lives paid the ultimate prize for the freedom of the democracy to free. that allows is probably going to take these this is going to work never been possible doing waste time we just wanted to show that it was legacy is complicated it's not a one sided and to kind of create space for that critical remembrance report from nairobi now today 30 years ago nelson mandela was released from prison after having spent 27 years behind bars he's released in 1900 was a key event in ending south africa's brutal apostate system off racial oppression mandela had been convicted along with 10 other activists on the agent krishna with one of them. i remember him coming out of prison with a wife winnie by his side. is courting her. he was
