the system to entice. fires can trigger others or dealing with any of that i killed many civilians. coming coming my father said i was a student i wanted to build a life for myself. but suddenly life became our kind of. providing insight. that matters. for moderns. this is. coming up in the next 15 minutes the true scale off uganda's acid attacks reveal to me to the survivors who were left to good now demanding justice and recounting the horrors they suffered. but i mean this really is part of the. new well that you will go.

in and you. and the desperate bond is counting the costs off to play based on their problems leaving nothing to eat. hello i'm christine. have you any acid attacks on the rise in uganda and campaign groups say most of the cases reported in 2018 in the they recorded 10 times as many attacks then will report to police they say victims via reprisals now campaign is a demanding tough unrolls they also want the government to cover the costs of surgery for victims and provide compensation many victims suffer for you is off to

their attacks in a moment i'll be talking to an acid attack survivor who speech it in our next report. 12 years ago daniel's life was changed forever someone he once considered a friend attacked him without warning. i knew that this is nothing because i have ever heard about people being poured on acid. so i'm not mormon go for it was too much my eyes started. running this kinda stuff in period ending mysteriously. ever since that day daniel has struggled with confidence and lost trust in other people he's just one among many stories of life's devastated by acid attacks. jennifer to see was assaulted by a coworker who is jealous of her success she lost her sight in one eye and

remembers that people witnessing the attack were filming rather than helping her. she had to rebuild her life from scratch. pad not walk every day we don't know what horror of the beginning did you feel the scene with the people seem to you. is here you. love me you are because of the way you have been and you walking. support groups a most as that attacks a new gunder go unreported meaning perpetrators are rarely punished now some survivors are trying to change that lynette was walking to class when she heard footsteps behind her and then burning agony her ex-boyfriend had attacked her after she rejected the marriage proposal he was never arrested now she complains for stricter sentencing to crack down on these attacks plus police we want we want to

include him and be. for us to treat us. these people who need to build out our new also we need their citizens to because. they think. if someone as poor. has been poor when they were 2. they from prison thanks to her efforts things are changing in this compound a courtroom one victim watched on as the men accused of attacking her with acid face trial proof that the wheels of justice are turning a bite slowly. my guess city is that if he could only from end s. of violence uganda who we just saw in that report welcome to news africa linearity tell us what happened to you. get really aboard for me i was a student at marker a university i had a boyfriend who wanted us to get married and from name rejected his marriage

proposal because my progress was more books than getting married so i know because they get him to give me something and 1st focus on my books if that is suspected that maybe i had somewhere someone else that's the 2 of you know where the next school was a rejecting his marriage proposal then later on if want me up there in their university want to know the next thing that was 11 is don't worry. me i thought it was your route i played a role and i started hearing that but. we should take her on a will break that saying i've come to see if so what i've see how my body was but then later i heard someone saying that if that's when they want to know that's what's. in it see why didn't your attacker face justice. thank you no new guy and our 1st one there is no law on us that really has and made a time when we have pointed out piers that what you saw me says kemp report all the

hospital i remember they don't take all the talk that well we got see what was happening and i was intensive care so they taught my prince instead of you're going to court just sitting down with this suspect and you are you know what she ate trying how much you want this person to play you something the next really i will if you know this person has done harm for her come from something harmful to you so i was not willing for or so it's all been made could have made as from a prince not we're not going to get any single coin from the suspect this is going to court so the police officer that in the can when they really needed neck to let me if you try to go into court you're not because there's no 1000000 uganda or that's the violence we have on. to not point i'll take not talking about anything the next sale is so limited what do you want the government to do what are you campaigning for right now you're campaigning for a specific as do lol. 1st of all it keeps you come here to you can't if you come to

your guns i see this is sort of like any other commodity on the streets of comfort and everywhere it is it is as cheap as a couple of big trust or one couple one liter of absolute equals around if there is something but one cup of acid and it one's a leg so we need a specific euro well this is low we're talking about asked to vote is we need does that give us those people what believing in absolute place in stands there must be a compromise made a government that can in uganda we have so i saw all these doing so in case you want to buy a seat you should be asked what may be practiced and actually not i d y but you can present your idea utilities person i'm certain so i'm working to make you know that buttery i need absent but all that is required makes i'm not see i did not ask where so people get access they were a one stop us it is really up to us. so what we need is especially people at risk

that will try and trick us and then misuse of acid which you also want to take strict laws all right time and that's true. or they're going to create their own its limits he can only thank you. for months now swarms of desert notice have been ravaging the horn of africa and while governments have begun aerial spraying to prevent a new generation of breeding the u.n. is warning of a looming food crisis it say's the region needs $76000000.00 u.s. dollars to fight the pain but at the moment they barely have a 3rd of that and we visited some kenyan farm is to find out how they have been affected by the interests. they were only there for one day amid january but not my congress was invaded by that locusts they ate everything from grains 2 beams and even an entire field of watermelons but that's not all.

that. like i do know. normally by this time they're ready for harvest. but the locations have destroyed them all. the flowers even the leaves. of the will to seed. the locusts eat everything in their way in a day one square kilometer swarm of locusts can eat as much food as 35000 people. at this time of year my congress grannies are usually filled to the brim but now they're practically empty. memory you get a good local song come on come on that's what i've harvested is very little i expected to get sounds of green grams 15 sacks of maize didn't and i didn't get any beans it's all of that they've all been destroyed.

his neighbor is equally devastated without the harvest he doesn't know what to do. there's nothing left to harvest there's nothing else i don't know how to do it's just this farm that's where i get through it we're afraid my family and friends everyone because that's what i do i'm a farmer limit. this is the worst look at the frustration that kenya has seen in 70 years farmers in this region have lost nearly all of their crops some of them have started planting again but they don't know what they will do if the locusts return . to step up the fight against the locusts and has started training its voluntary national youth service great well aerial spraying of pesticides is a ready being used to fight the adult locusts these youths are been trained as ground spray is since younger locusts which conflict yet. the government believes it still might be able to stop the spread of central station but this may be its

last chance if they're going to know what is your news not. over there they want to be in kenya now then we have even breeding grounds in the country and we become sources off yeah in frustration see the future. for farmers like bernard my kind of government effort has come too late he doesn't know how he will make up for his lost crops. and he only hopes that his next harvest will provide from if you can support a group. now with his hopes resting on international support tony burgeon the man overseeing the un's relief if it's tells you that time is off the essence. what needs to happen next is that we have a very short window of opportunity we are in between 2 planting season we need to go on to control the locust population now before the planting season starts in march april this is the main planting season we have a very fruitful. european union the european commission as we speak 1st of all

financial commitment is critical we have an appeal out for $76000000.00 so far we have received about $30000000.00 and if we consider 10000000 euro that is being announced today by the european commission now to some news from the sporting bold there has been yet more success for south africa's all conquering springboks the winds of rugby world cup winners were named sports team at the prestigious laureus world sports awards captain sail for the sea was on hand to accept the award along with many of his team mates the glorious awards have become known as the sporting aust is what an honor for the springboks. and obviously. that same believe it's a full day's everything is africa you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page we leave you now with a nice from mind why the springboks are being faces around the world see you next
