is the shadow of. bush because if we don't move forward towards a risk area that is i mean the surrounding islands here at one point where it is attacked the presence of. god and yet another blow for the covert 19 response in south africa where the use of the astra zeneca vaccine had already been stopped now faces even more challenges after the suspension of the johnson and johnson vaccine . it's a plea for take martial art form and without physical contact we'll find out how it's being used to get palin's kids off the street. i am eddie michael jr welcome to the program mozambique is reeling on the brutal insurgency by militants with links to the so-called islamic state for more than 3 years. this violence campaign has displeased hundreds of thousands destroyed dozens

of towns and villages in northern was a week despite the government's claims that it is countering the insurgents another major attack may be coming soon according to consultancy pham risk all of this is happening in kabul delgado province formerly the tourist hot spot but now that volatile lucy gun says from the terror expert i don't know how this has come to be but before that let's have this report from our correspondent who managed to reach areas in was a couple delgado province. from the air the islands of muslim beaks northern coast look like paradise but life on the ground is increasingly difficult ebor is one of the last islands that have been spared from is in the midst attacks a flood of refugees has more than doubled its population in just a few months a united nations 8 mission isn't able to feed everyone knew that

her manner was. we've been here since 7 in the morning and haven't gotten anything and now they tell us they're all out but they write down our names like what should i do you know i'm like you. you are. very nice i was lucky enough to receive some rise flour corn and cooking oil terror groups have attacked her home village on the mainland twice and want everyone to leave but the villagers had nowhere to go then the attackers came a certain time. once they just chopped off one of her son's head for no reason right before our eyes everyone had to watch the young even the children in years so we fled here to this island. now marie lives in the hut with her 3 children

she has adopted another child who had lost his parents on the way yeah. i forgot. the next day we started for the neighboring island of cuba the u.n. food program has also plans a mission here. but our trip and that's when we were halfway there so we just exactly what it is to show all the time to look. forward to the scare that is i mean all the surrounding i live said one point where it is attacked by the insurgents. no luck low times we're definitely stuck on the close by mainland militants still stage deadly attacks on villages plundering them to finance their operations after recent attacks international corporations stop their operation on the planned nature of gas facility. for trucking about half an hour now. fortunately we don't know really how far they will serve so.

let's have a rest because. we have to wade through shallow waters and mangroves for 3 hours before we encounter the 1st inhabitants. and then finally we get to the island of kitty about an 8 boat docked in the evening before . the island's government administrator helps with distributing food that's critical for survival here. without this food will be in utter crisis almost everyone here lives from the sea but the refugees from the mainland they are farmers and can't fish without this food aid it will be chaos here. about 4000 people lived on this island before the insurgency now is more than 10000 people was thousands of displaced people leaving the mainland in the coming year in

the past months looking for a safe place to stay just that this isn't exactly a safe place last year terrorists at tech the island pillaging it and killing 2 villages the local administrator was able to hide in time but they burnt down his house. of course i feel bad everything of value then i had was in there. it's like i lost part of my family. now the administrator lives like they're refugees in a tent in front of a neighbor's house. many here have lost actual family members the terrorists kidnapped 30 islanders mainly girls usually fear of a 16 year old daughter was one of them. they are terrible people they come from far away take our children and don't say why or what it is

they want i'm sad i'm enraged i just don't understand it. there's no trace of the girls and no international outcry over the kidnapping with their gado province people are worried about more attacks most feel helpless against the terrorists and so far not a single soldier has been stationed here on the island. now 6 presidents of the south an african development community setback we sent the held emergency talks in the mozambique and capital michael to they agreed that the western situation in the northern province of kabul delgado in mozambique is indeed a serious threats to peace and security for the whole region but no solid agreements were made public instead stock vowed to quote proportion in its response to jihadists what do you. say to.

them if you weren't here to focus. all media. on. these is. ready for. the. government to. be heard. from on as i'm now joined by olivia ghita he's a terror experts and by doing the right job global struct and international security on geopolitical risk consultancy pham hello say that for your time now 1st tell us more about who these insurgents are and what the aim is. this group originally called but it has no relationship with somebody and group started in 2017 about. 50 members of the beginning.

very sophisticated group behind when the machine is attacked to look oh police station i point. in trucks and again following during the years and now we're talking about bush and the 2000 members but also very importantly they pledge allegiance to the some extent in 2013 and. revolutions in 2019 and made the group now a force to be reckoned with in terms of the attacks. the equipment they have and that's why they come to the forefront of the international news with. the taking of a town of one point it's still not clear what is the. what's interesting is. ensured she studied about as usual the distribution of anti-corruption we know that capital cattle the northern province

where they're located has a lot of natural resources so we're going to talk about. the gas but it has also be gold mines and also very importantly. for arrowing trafficking coming propaganda about 25 to 30 percent of the arrowing distribution from afghanistan goes through mozambique and. so. a lot of corruption from officials from people from the army and so that's how it's starting to look for an insurgency but it has now turned into a jihadist movement ok now you briefly touched on it because if you're right they said denson now seem to be targeting areas that are rich and not for me is also why are laying down why is that the reason why they are going after the oil and gas is basically this is going to be the biggest investment project

a not for a couple the next few years i mean the windfall for gas project is going to be about $60000000000.00 which is full time mozambique this is the jewel this is really where the wealth of mozambique going forward is going to be so it makes sense for them to extract a nice area but also in the case of bottom up for the 1st time ever they attacked foreign. to get more traction and they just try to stay to get more publicity ok now how hard was on big responded to this insurgency and why has this approach failed to stop inside then so far. beginning with this regular army to try to tame the. insurgency it didn't work very well so there was an agreement between the us already and

russia's. to bring in mercenaries from divac new group back into a group and the russian mercenaries one backbone because they were defeated so then the government hired another mercenary group called the binary group from south africa and using a mix of the army in a nursery it's not really working out. to be changed in the medium to long run so the original body back i agree that such high enough attacks cannot be allowed to continue without the proportion of its regional response but we don't know the details about me doing. extremely difficult because the regional intervention orning international community intervention will have repercussions and what we don't want to.

do that we've seen time and again with foreign interventions of possibly. joining the fray and we've seen how sophisticated and good for instance to some extent days i think that will have a. solution. then use to be some kind of. major push from the government and u.s. authorities but also the regional body making sure that they're. not begin to draw back but it's very thorny situation and unfortunately i expect to be. growing growing and we heard we're going to get about mozambique a lot in the next few months and years. sounds very complicated. in my mind and the global strap thank you for your insight. thank you.

you're watching d.w. news africa still to come using cover where a new type of martial arts to get violent kids off the streets. but 1st to south africa where the suspension of the johnson and johnson vaccine has dealt yet another blow to the country's vaccination drive. has been put on hold also reports of red blood clotting in a very small number of people south africa in february already stopped the use of the astra zeneca vaccine after she would know if a customer against the aggressive local virus variants biotech pfizer jobs only due to arrive next month on that stretch of one of the looming fed waves in a moment i was thinking to a south african viola just a 1st let's take a closer look at what's happening in south african hospitals the situation there is

already spiraling out of control for patients and for health workers means a doctor who says she's had enough of unsafe working conditions. doctors so little was to come by is wary of vaccines 9 years ago when she was 21 she became ill with tuberculosis despite having been inoculated against it. before coronavirus vaccines reached south africa she resigned from her post in a public hospital because she didn't feel safe anymore that home care centers are still as deep as they were when our contract. takes the top you know which i feel is a huge problem it's a huge problem it shows that after all these years you know the lives of some of our former colleague made this video of supreme but here she is wearing full personal protective equipment but she says that in the hospital where she worked it was either not available or inadequate to fund a work in intensive care and as

a midwife she's been at home since. left at the end of the year even though she feels guilty about leaving she believes she did the right thing. medical staff are badly needed but her life has to come 1st. hundreds of doctors and nurses in south africa have already died from cope at 19. i really felt as though i was working in a system that didn't really care about my own life and with i was going to make it to tomorrow not you know especially seeing with how it's dying the tributes online you can't help but think that that's going to be unix. those fears are justified only a few $100000.00 people in south africa have been vaccinated there aren't enough doses to go around at the current rate it would take 16 years to vaccinate the whole population south africa would like to manufacture its own vaccines but the

patents are all riches tired overseas the only way i'd go back is if i'd be able to control. you know my exposure to illnesses you know and if i am exposed to illnesses make sure that i have the correct effective p.p. . system to also needs to be vaccinated but while she's no longer working as a doctor she doesn't mind waiting. joining me now from john is back south africa is professor fox knology at the university of vets vasanth shabu a muddy welcome to the program a mighty and now how much of a setback is that south africa in a collision dr it's now affected. the clinical trial and its work and so forth. if you stop to much of a plane. boards. if you can if you need

all. or necessary documentation is proof either thank you late your thought or it's it's you know something i think it hasn't here he's done that with the national guard or any of that same program at this point. ok so and the out the astra zeneca hughes was scrapped johnson and johnson only what happens now. i will always be extremely unfortunate is that johnson and johnson going to see him does become available to south africa as expected. before the end of april it would be extremely unfortunate if the force is done in place because the best benefit ratio in most other countries such as i think we just look at the options for a number. of it seems is over the in favor all on them indeed these are the rodney paid off the benefits of the use of effects seen. 'd right now what i like

to say it was like africa has got as many other countries getting countries but i suppose any governments it has been used on going forth then 'd simply use of that seen as bought don't own up to the current main theme gets into the message and photograph 'd to scare you not for getting those benefits for a show adequately ok reports stop by and take pfizer vaccine might be less potent for the south african environs is the obvious choice then to google for chinese and russian vaccines. no not at all to find that scene is one of the few vaccine which got this from i think to fall short and expect some dozens of fines that seem to become available as you can of course are made and although we don't care for a prostate to find that scene based on its immune responses we would expect it to work pretty well against. you when you do if you want to fight anyone that is dominating in south africa in fact it's much less they. use all the chinese dicks

was it 5 or even if you're going to see images that intervention don't fix into work against if you want the 5 or so i figured out the use of the johnson and johnson and the 5 of it seeing exactly what's on every pretty quiet in absence of any other options immediate future so africa to vaccinate 750000000 people over the next 2 years what so far. just about 14000000 vaccine doses not been administered can we reached out mach. unfortunately with the huge issue is that i don't think that's in supply and you can do from this you know he's you do indeed mean as you know the union government and for the export of it seem to recover its facility which is the dominance most often seen supply from many african countries it's unlikely that you're going to get more arguments you can call the facility and the syrians you don't think there is expected to resupply is 400000000 doses of vaccine by the end of this yet and right knowledge of all the supply 58000000 doses all of that seem to recall that facility so i think i know we

face in a very difficult position and it might be a good yes find some companies to reach that target and they will then stop using that since. it's for them as h m m's ok. professor fox analogy how the bits university in johannesburg south africa thank you for your time. here as a war in the central african republic have left thousands of children us oftens they often vulnerable with some other risk of being caught up in trouble but one often has money to turn his life around and is now teaching his fierce tolerance on nonviolence through i'm not a formal fighting. 15 year old formalistic deed now logical boss he was 7 when his parents will brutally cute in the war in this into love it can

republique not that he was left to fend for himself on the streets of benghazi think he was aggressive food of remorse and pain. when i was on the streets i wanted to join any rebellion for revenge of the death of my father and mother. bend down and you after 3 years of fighting for survival they direct all fun or funny found young. he was given gloats enrolled in school and later introduced to kapoor uk. when i started learning how to wear or because i dropped the ways of the street in the beginning i was easily angered and always wanted to be alone this orphanage and help me to completely forget my former fury. a couple who are a teacher he has been training this formally veld into street kids for the past 5 years every 9 months this company voice of the heart foundation takes in

60 on the 17 year old's fear of ones here they used up were to give them the space to improve their lives and get back into society. where an old playful musical. in a deep deep afro brazilian martial art that is performed in a circle without physical contact. these children have suffered war trauma. when we arrived at this foundation although the children did some acrobatics they knew nothing about how. we were patient because it's not easy to do the movements but little by little and we kept going and some started to get the hang of it we teach them what tolerance and forgiveness tolerance is when someone hits you each person must ask for forgiveness from the other that's why at the end of every game both players embrace each other such as they do. this often each

of us hope for some of the many kids the war has left off and this is about almost 4000 children living on the streets and they fear that number will keep rising as the war continues. but the voice of the heart foundation is making a difference. the direct will see us she can see the change the cup we're on has brought a bolt in the over news and the fact that i look up what we print in the couple era because we realize that most of what we were doing with the children didn't have enough positive impact yet with couple era we noticed a difference it gives them a taste for living together we will continue to support these children until they are good future citizens. who are has given them the book and new outlook on life. he's hoping to become a teacher. this is where we draw the cats and on today's
