make up your own mind. w.'s. made for minds. this is the the view from the standoff among germany's governing conservatives. will lead to a conservative bloc into the september elections putting him in prime position to succeed. in the kind of a sea. power struggle against his bavarian conservative rival. also coming up. shah that's the army pronounces its president. has died in

a fight against rebel forces he was granted a 6 term in office just hours earlier. and india's. lockdown as new code 19 cases best price shopping in the city a new variant and overloaded hospitals are making things worse. just filled with more space junk a new mission aims to get the 1st of a cleanup crew of. the debris with the help of the newly developed world. welcome to the program germany's ruling conservatives have agreed on their candidate to succeed chancellor angela merkel in the country's elections this autumn. received the backing of both parties in the center right bloc after

a protracted power struggle with his rival marcos the 2 men the heads. the blogs see the un to c.s.u. parties respectively conceded today. let's have a listen to what he has to say. and i'm pleased to see you met and made a decision we accept that and i respect that i mean i should i called i'm in love shouldn't congratulated him i also offered him our full support in what i believe will be the extremely difficult election campaign ahead of us we will support him without any sense of resentment and with all of our strength i speak for myself as well as for my party this c.s.u. level for instance he is was a young officer to speak and there were expecting to get his own statement shortly but for now let's go over to our chief political editor. for her take on this story here so unless it is officially entering the race for chancellor now it took

a while. absolutely this is been a bruising week that we've seen that and normally we would expect the leaders of both parties the large and mighty c.d.u. party and it's bavarian sister party which is a lot smaller markets that are who we just saw there to make that statement together that are many laughs it would be their joint candidate to also make this union tangible but after this bruising week we have one press conference after the other and we have a lot of question marks hanging over whether that unity is more than lip service right now last night saw a very ugly meeting with really the upper echelons of the cd you party with a lot of criticism from i mean lasted some openly saying that they would prefer zuda more than 3 quarters then voting in favor of i mean losses but the big

question is whether that will be enough to end the in the party debates where the last it was the best choice this after he came out of a pole position of being the elected leader the parent of uncle americal so not an ideal start for him in that sense and also with us come back to you but 1st let's have a look at the. issues. merkel ally carnival king committed european there are many faces to lash it but does he have what it takes to be german chancellor according to lash of his position a state premier of north rhine-westphalia germany's most populous state and his victory to get there is proof enough his election a c.d.u. party leader in january 2021 put him in prime position to run for chancellor backed by the city's top brass sais he aspires to make the 20 twentieth's a decade of modernization for germany. miami canada to all my candidacy is from

my understanding of the german chancellor ship which is a european one is. the whole of europe is watching to see how germany finds new leadership at this time and we need multilateral solutions for every problem that is a global one. blue bollen all smiles but how can we remove the latter rather losing . the 60 year old ryan landis commitment to europe has been years in the making. born in the western city of afrin close to the dutch and belgium borders blush it is a former member of the european parliament and fluent in french his family even claims to be descendants of charlemagne founder of the holy roman empire across the atlantic he wants to push for more cooperation with the u.s. particularly on climate and trade policy some of his comments on russia syria and china however have raised eyebrows in just one instance in 2014 his warnings

against demonizing russian president vladimir putin for the annexation of crimea and him the title of host land for stay or from some critics a derogatory term for people who take a soft stance on putin's russia. as leader of the german federal state with the closest ties to china concerns about protecting german export industries have also led to his more lenient stance towards the world's 2nd largest economy drawing allegations that he puts business interests above security for the large part however his politics a moderate center ground and macalester making him a longtime ally to the chancellor that was until the cove in 1000 pandemic despite merkel's repeated calls for unity from state leaders lash it has often opted for a looser interpretation of measures to tackle the pandemic but poor crisis communication has seen his popularity plummet with vytas not only in his home state

stability and continuity used to be the key to success among german vytas now it seems lash it will need to be more than just the final and merkel if he wants to fill his shoes in the chancellor very. so fond of macalester policies of what was a hard are his chances to actually succeed. child's life. well he has decent chances the c.d.u. c.s.u. is still the strongest party here in germany although it failed to maintain what was a clear lead in the polls upward of 30 percent at the height of the corona pandemic that performance and since been looked at in a much more critical light with the slow progress of vaccinations here in germany a lot of disarray over what should be done when and which incidents raise so the c.d.u. still the strongest party but the green party is counting up and this is play of unity we will have to be more than just a display we heard from the secretary general of the seas you were in bavaria that

day still perceive markel sort of half of having been the candidate of the hearts thanking a lot of people for writing in very demanding him to stand for office so this doesn't really sound like units see it's a marriage of convenience between the 2 party leaders and that's a very different picture from the greens who just presented and i mean a bare back that top candidate and it looked as smooth as dropping music album so it will be an uphill struggle for i mean lash out in these not in an ideal position to at least defend where the c.d.u. stands let alone add to that so there's a lot of unity as it's been displayed how will that go down with german voters you think. well interesting it hasn't harmed the conservative c.d.c.'s you in the latest polling that we've seen yet but it's early days we've only seen this one week of bickering bickering just now but in the last it is much behind i mean we're

talking about the difference between 17 percent and $72.00. among c.d.u. followers in the polls so it is a very very tall order we shouldn't go by the polls alone but unless it himself had said early on that the man who has the best chances at the ballot box should be the chance the candidate he did leave that room for speculation that somebody else could be in that role and that's something that will continue to hang over him there's a lot of pressure on for aman losses right now to perform and to win over in those crucial polls. political. thn our let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world germany's chancellor angela merkel has said she is very concerned about the health of jailed russian opposition leader i'll examine a volley and called for him to receive adequate medical treatment statement follows

reports that he was on the brink of death after 3 weeks on hunger strike. the european drug regulator the e.m.a.'s will issue a new recommendation later on the use of johnson and johnson's covert 19 vaccine it's reviewing a small number of cases of blood clots among vaccine recipients in the u.s. the m.a. previously said it believes the benefits of the shot outweigh the risks. protesters took to the streets of the u.s. city of minneapolis on monday evening as the city braces for the jury's decision in the trial of their it showed in the white form a police officer is charged with the murder of a black man george floyd the jury concluded its 1st day of deliberations without reaching the. great swedish crime it's an act of history that urged the global community to address covert 19 vaccine inequality which called for the world's most vulnerable to be prioritized has also donated 100000 euros to the

kovacs scheme for global access to back seeds. to the central african country of chad now where the army says president address debian has died just a day after he was declared the winner of elections that secured him a record 6th term in office to be was reportedly killed while visiting troops on the frontline of a battle against northern rebels the 68 year old came to power in rebellion in $190.00 and was one of africa's longest serving leaders. and are joined by our west africa correspondent fred who was just returned from chad after covering those elections fred this is a shocking development what more can you tell us. yeah that's correct it's really shocking because i mean it doesn't ask night announced the results that he wore almost 80 percent of the votes and then one day announce

he's dead it's really shocking and then when he's more shocking his to hear that himself was on the battlefield i mean who does not who is the president that we have harmed in recent times that had to go on the battlefield and then we hear that he has died on the bottle feed so it's a t.v. show but also there have been such rumors people have been saying that probably this this president he was not going to finish this town. so do you get the sense there's any foul play involved. yeah definitely because. that's really when they're in china i was talking to some of the people and they were seeing believing that he's not going to finish is stop.

but out of hand you we're just wondering why would anyone seeing such a thing but there is a feeling there is a sense. was there while actually probably the ones behind instead of there it was as it has been announced by the army because really no one can tell how if you want to connect how the people way out actually talking about here is poor simple remove war in this town and what has just happened suddenly there is a sense that this could be definitively the fall so who will take power now the army. his son he is his son. he's actually found this event this in time actually and you know this him time president idriss deby came to power in 1980 he is this sick and in command.

in that me tell you he's seen as the most powerful i mean after i mean after his father was and just died so he's the one now going to the transitional. government for what does that mean for the whole region there. i mean the whole region this side here he's already in town more days. these days and child was initially seen as one of the 5 countries that actually was trying their business to fight back but now when they did all the president in the now it's right in going to worsen the situation and then of course the chance of the contrie beat of the country itself is i'm afraid that is going to be what it was. during his west africa correspondent fred when you thank you fred

you cases of the coronavirus are rampaging across india the world's 2nd largest population is now struggling with inadequate supplies such as hospital beds and oxygen times to keep people alive now delhi has declared a 6 day locked up in a desperate attempt to gain traction and slow the spread of the virus and its variants. india's grave diggers have never been busier. as colvin 1000 goes on the rampage the dead keep coming. crim atari or 2 are inundated with arrivals in some cases dealing with 3 or 4 times more bodies than usual. relatives left to endure agonizing waiting times. we've been waiting out here since

9 am now it's 1 pm and we still have to wait another 2 or 3 hours for our turn there are only 2 furnace is here and since morning we've been waiting and there are hundreds of people like us also waiting here. in the capital delhi is the worst affected city police enforcing the 6 day lockdown check that only essential workers are on the move and that businesses remain closed in an attempt to stop a rampant virus. among the recent cases former prime minister manmohan singh has been hospitalized after testing positive. as health experts monitor the trend there are concerns that india might be facing a new variant of the virus. we've seen for the increase in people across

india more often think the thing that might be happening is that something that is between people. moving through the population of people who are yet to contract infection and therefore pretty often. following criticism that it failed to stop the spread the indian government now says every adult will be eligible for a vaccine from may. a desperate attempt to stop a sweeping virus that's leaving a seemingly endless trail of death. you're watching the news still to come break out leaks say in european football or is the super league doomed to failure of the details from the sports coming up later the show. but 1st looking had beyond the horizon of our planning planets and increasing amount of

trash is orbiting there scientists say the amount of space junk circling planet earth is massive and potentially dangerous this week european experts are discussing new plans on how to deal with space debris sending out a new fleet of orbital trash collectors. earth is slowly being wrapped in a cloud of debris experts estimate that nearly $130000000.00 pieces of scrap metal are currently orbiting our planet most are only a few millimeters in size but there are also tanks rocket stages and old satellites because of their high speed even small. the fragments have the potential to cause significant damage as a result space junk is now being monitored radar and laser systems can see objects between 5 and 10 centimeters large they can also show where the debris is located if a collision is imminent satellites and even the space station can be programmed to

change course to avoid the debris but your medical issues have already occurred more than once like in 2009 when a discarded satellite crashed into a telecommunications satellite that was still in use this created a cloud of thousands of pieces of debris today this junk still circles the earth space debris like this could cause further collisions leading to an uncontrollable chain reaction. now it's why researchers and engineers have decided to clean up the trash in the earth's orbit. they want to catch tumbling satellites with huge nets from a safe distance like catching fish in the ocean their goal is to pull the space junk out of the danger zone researchers have already conducted in the tests. the european space agency is working on robotic systems that can grab satellites

they'll push them towards the earth until they burn up in the atmosphere in 2025 scientists will launch clear space one a demonstration satellite it will capture a drifting $100.00 kilo rocket stage bring it out of orbit and burn up with it as they descend to earth. clear space one will be the 1st step towards space junk disposal. john an aerospace center so how soon will we get these trust. robots and how dangerous is this. it well we will 1st see the demonstration. put on your new 5 and after nat we have to to see whether there is actually commercial business for example for those activities

to be the problem because in the end though you need of course someone to to fund the removal of. indeed deborah is is is dangerous and what you want to do it with these activities is to develop technologies to remove large objects from space because if objects on the strong name naturally date they create a lot of lot of new green and that's what we want these kind of to. catch it on in that's an awful lot of it. floating around that. no i mean what what what can be heard on is to really remove the most dangerous objects and piece on a lot of massive objects sometimes having. a metric tons in lower earth orbit because these other sources of neural net reef they will still be

goalies remove these lot of the moment be able to catch all those debts debts just . so we heard in the report we heard about one crash roughly 10 in 10 years ago that's not really very much so how much sense does it make to spend all that money to send the cleanup crew up there. good it's a good question from stimulations week that these kinds of crashes statistically every 5 to 10 years so we already. do what next for the next crash. and need it would really need to remove only don't object which comes down to it and which at the highest potential to create a lot of degree so also from an economic point of view it doesn't make sense to try to remove all objects from groups he's not aware meths them and as

a physicist at the german air space center thank you thank thank you. to football now where the backlash to a proposed european super league is growing from fans governments and officials 12 top clubs from england spain and italy want to form their own midweek solemne and separate to us champions league the president of euro the european football's governing body says they propose this disgraceful and self-serving for the super league's term and says it's been created to quote say football. the so-called beautiful game is turning ugly leeds fans making it clear how they feel about the idea of a super league before the match with liverpool one of the clubs involved the protests extended to the leeds players earn it and football is for the fans their shirts threat and even to the air but liverpool's own coach jurgen klopp says he's against

the idea. no i don't think it's a great idea it's not a situation i heard today that i will resign or whatever so. times get even tougher what makes me more. liverpool or one of 6 english clubs signed up alongside 3 from spain and 3 from italy they've been threatened with expulsion from the way for competition this president is not mincing his words. these sadia is a speed in the face of all food. and our society as well so we will not allow them. to take it away from us currently germany's biggest clubs in munich and brasil dortmund are not involved the report suggests that being courted we want to follow our ideas of the united football of us which we connect

with football or is football in future. mainly just like an enterprise. it's most important for the owners of the clubs to make as much money as they can on monday night to see if the leaks chairman broke his cover round madrid florentino perez arguing the super league would benefit everyone. and in most of what we want to do is say football so that it can live peacefully for at least the next 20 years without stress and without having to say 200000000 euros have been lost the situation is very dramatic as we don't think. these fans would disagree with the savior attitude and they battle for the soul of the game they laugh. yes and a little earlier presidents had johnny in front of his was to the growing outcry against the proposed european super league speaking at the us a meeting in france and said see 1st strongly disapproved of the breakaway

laureate such a threat to the powerful generals close up. on. board. and you you may know yes yes we can hear you and i last years german chancellor i want to bring you an angle a man called as you've never heard her before surprise yourself with what is possible who is medical really what moves her and part of somebody who talks to people who follows her along the way admirers and critics alike now as the world's most powerful woman shaping her legacy joining us from echols last august. 19th. their story their very own

personal trauma. people of good chesterfield remember. and they share private footage with us that has never been seen before. back channel starts april 26th on d w. manned mars democratic hopes have been shattered on february 1st the armed forces staged a coup seizing back power after a decade of cautious change for 50 years generals have ruled the multi-ethnic state with an iron fist in practical isolation from the outside world then 10 years ago

under pressure from international sanctions the military allowed elections and the introduction of what it called disciplined democracy. the military held a long song suchi under house arrest for 15 years. became an icon of the struggle for freedom of the nobel peace laureate began fighting for democracy in myanmar in the 1990 s. . as the military came under more and more pressure from sanctions and economic boycotts they decided to release their arch enemy from house arrest in 2010 a sign of goodwill toward the west but on song suchi was barred from standing in the forthcoming elections at her national league for democracy boycotted. virtually unopposed the military gained almost all of the seats. in any case the constitution guarantees the armed forces 25 percent of seats and key ministries. the civil

service and police remain under the general's control. the commander in chief directly appointed the ministers for defense order affairs and the interior. some members of the military exchange their green uniforms for white civilian apparel. a former long serving general who is made president. he was ordered to usher in a cautious transition to a more open source. you know what i learned a lot walking around the room no matter what i would never have dreamt that i would become president of the mob. but after i became president and head of government takes the cabinet. almost all of the ministers i chose came from the previous military junta they were well educated and experienced founder of the reader but none of us had any idea how we should engineer the transition to democracy we had

lived with democracy for more than 50 years. i don't know is on the move. before being appointed the 1st civilian president of myanmar after the dictatorship general tain sane had been involved in overseeing the creation of a new constitution. before 2010 the country was under the control of a military dictatorship the result was widespread poverty because the state was bankrupt and the west imposed sanctions upon us. and there were many other problems . but no one really ever had the intention of good hearing to democratic principles

rather despite a few reforms they wanted to stick with military rulers it will become your moho. where. the reforms have the sole aim of improving relations with the west. says how your call on. the top priority was the lifting of sanctions. but it would have been difficult for the new government to win over the international community without involving that then opposition leader aung san suu kyi with just a few seats to the. in parliament it was decided that aung sang suu kyi should be allowed to stand in the 2012 by elections it was more a symbolic gesture the risk was small. only 80 percent of the seats were being contested. but it gave the opposition of foot in the door. pro-democracy leader aung san suu kyi has taken her place in me in mas parliament ushering in a new politically here our 50 years of military dictatorship and it will tell the

story it turned out that even the elected members of the team the pledge to safeguard the constitution it's hard to change for a woman who's been incarcerated most of the last 20 years one of her closest associates was fellow party member when tame so when i arrived at the door the a lot of media were there. i told them he rebels a commie rebels are coming. the 79 year old was detained after the february military coup and remains in custody he was a political prisoner from 1989 to 2010 actually weigh on rebels we had struggled along so many years nearly 3 decades yet their status as insurgents changed overnight and i am regarded asan as above ground insurgency i did not underground. on sense you can tell party only hold 8

percent or seats in parliament so at 1st glance they don't seem to have much in the fridge the military had hardly left them any room to maneuver but on song suchi and her supporters were determined to make the most of it they knew that the architects of this disciplined democracy wouldn't play fair our objective was to continue our struggle. is based on our political principles and to get a truly democratic state. i have 3 tremendous conclusively the 3 sixes in it in any way on the assistance of my fees to be such an incident for you would like to be either reduce their presence or not have them in the parliament and we would like all parliament to be in line with international banks it's not because we want to move and by this. due to her iron will and her charisma the military i don song suchi with suspicion. back of confidence.

as you have to point point one though the greatest weakness that's a lack of trust and confidence the nobody trusts and if i say. this this is the result of years and years of dictatorship authoritarian rule you all have have to be careful you don't know who is informing on whom and this lack of trust has seeped into our very bones in a sense the system how to bring about reconciliation. the new civilian representatives might have been full of good intentions but the generals still have the upper hand. the military has created a constitution that cemented its own standing leaving the civilian government with little real power. the constitution guarantees the military 25 percent of seats and beadle rights meaning the constitution couldn't be changed without its approval. the

new constitution also had an article $59.00 that was made specifically to keep song suchi out of the running it barred anyone becoming president or vice president if their spouse or children were not citizens of man mark. it was designed to curb suchi is political ambitions she had studied in the u.k. and the u.s. like her late husband her 2 sons are. citizens plenty more to go. to go get it he's now judy to protect the constitution adequately according to the me and constitution the most important task of the military is to ensure that the country's fundamental laws are respected in the fisa court yet. the military generals were confident that the much revered and beloved song suchi

would never be able to become manned mars president. i think one has to accept that there are some elements of the minute military who would generally think that they are the only ones capable of competing the country together now this is not surprising because they feel they were in power for more than 50 and they have to because there still are and the sense tell that part because of the constitution their managed 1st vanity career that established. long term in a true true and i took place at 962 so if you count it from then it's over 15 years after 15 years at the helm and it's not very surprising that they produced the thinking and they were the only ones keep of kicking the country together. widely known as mother says this advocate for a peaceful transition to democracy has long been regarded almost as

a deity and man. but her popularity was only of limited advantage. important changes to the constitution had to be approved by more than 75 percent of parliamentarians. with the military occupying one quarter of the seats song suchi is hands were tied. one powerful man was still paul. in the strings general thomas way ruled man maher with an iron fist until 2011 he had ordered the disbandment of the military junta and the shift towards disciplined democracy his aim the lifting of international sanctions before leaving office in march 20th 11 he divided his power between president tain say and men on the plank whose destiny was written in the stars. last. mean on hi i was

appointed commander in chief by tom shrank is on the advice of astrologers. he called the jump because the stunts were favorable not due to any military prowess or is. disguising. the. monks and astrologers are deemed the nation's guardians and have long played an important role in myanmar. general tonge way was most fearful of the woman who had defied him ever since the 1990 s. . even when on song suchi was under house arrest he had consulted for astrologists to ward off any potential danger that she might pose. the entire

country was waiting for the 2nd general election to be announced. tonge sway and his backers realized they could face a crushing defeat but article 59 f. guaranteed that their opponent couldn't become president despite her popularity. the elections were allowed to go ahead on a suitably auspicious state. they chose the election date november the 8th 2051 of the top astrologists advised them so if the elections are on sweet 8th of november 20th 15th you will win an unsigned victory. more than 30000000 people were eligible to vote. the electorate had big expectations to killer of sheep opposition leader aung song suchi and her national league for democracy. she had been on the election trail for weeks ahead of the

polls tens of thousands turned out to see her. many hoped for change on multiple levels more freedom economic growth less corruption and less poverty. that is that the polls according to win tame predicted that the opposition would win handsomely. c.c. the people of myanmar have waited 25 years and the i don't see the national league for democracy. as one. can see this point says a. the military's white clad appointees in parliament excepted the decision and made way for the n.l. deep and long song suchi. from now on she negotiated

directly with the commander in chief classic. the man who would seize back our in the february coup. the victory brought new faces and new colors in the parliament aung sang suu cheese national league for democracy party now help the majority. but despite this decisive electoral result the n l d s founder and leader could not become president and a quarter of parliamentary seats and key ministries remained reserved for the men in uniform. the icon for democracy seemed prepared to come to an arrangement with the military for political expediency. the routes that bind on song suchi and the military proceeded that. they are embedded in her family history.

in the 1940 s. a general fought against british colonial rule and was instrumental in engineering independence for as myanmar was formally call he is still regarded as a national hero today his name is general aung san the father of aung san suu kyi. to create unity in the country and to help ward off external attacks he regarded it as vital to strengthen the tonics between the various ethnic and political groups. that was no easy task as the country is not only geographically diverse with 5000 meter high peaks plateaus swamps and tropical rainforests it also has more than 130 different ethnic groups with varying religious affiliations. including bamma to change. change again moni xan corinne careening barca naysay and. general on song favorite

a socialist state having rejected capitalism after the experiences with colonial rule son conducted the negotiations for burma's independence from britain it was at an earlier specially chosen by the emmys astrologers that rangoon love burma still assumption of independence and face of the union jack benny is national flag was hoisted with all due a sentiment it was a moment however that aung san did not live to see he was murdered by political opponents some months earlier posters for the national league of democracies still bear the image of aung sun today the national heroes legacy the burma independence army the forerunner of today's military and his daughter long sought to cheat. has. she always mentioned that she was brought up in the hands of the end ceo's around her father. yet she had affection for the army is in them

but they still did not accept the rule of she is wasn't a grudge. as you know. since independence when her father was assassinated. it was a known fact that he was the architect of our independence. the founder of the ami. kong song suchi initially saw herself as having no choice but to reach an accommodation with the generals. she wanted reform and democracy for man mark to remove the military from power and the long term and to take over the presidency clearly there was a long hard road ahead. that lack. the constitution from becoming the president but today she threw down the good to be among the. 2 since if nothing else.

is there. to show she said it presents an impossible. general not with a navy not mistaken despite resistance from the military and the post of state councilor was created with a majority vote counting on. the board to do the military stood up in a sign of protest but the law was passed. that. according to the late. he was an expert in constitutional literature. so he leaf through all the articles and he found one lou park that the president can create

a position for anybody of any status. it is a bit but the most important and urgent matter would be a change in the constitution through the labor. so in her newly created position of state council her son suchi placed herself above the president the defacto head of government. but even this role did not concentrate all the power in aung san suu cheez hands over the years she had become familiar with most of the country's political rules but the military is also a law unto itself resorting to violence to solve some of its problems. was months in the chinese state run

news m.r. instantly reported that one of the government legal advisors doing san suu kyi was shot and killed basal gun police have a suspect in custody anywhere son tagging on international airports in response to 9. by many and. many here. government. yet. the murder is also seen as a warning one to read you our military. folks on suchi was notably absent from connie's funeral she remained silent and withdrew from the public gaze . is. she was shaken she can guess the main reason. if she says something it will get was. there is another aspect to this brutal

killing connie was not just a lawyer and one of aung san suu cheese advisors he was also a muslim. relations between man mars buddhist majority and the country's muslim minority are difficult. the conflict is in part and historical one when burma's people fought against british colonial rule after the 2nd world war one ethnic group remained largely on the side of the british the muslim or hinge of people. the buddhist majority regarded them as traitors nowadays the buddhist population mostly refer to them as the bengalis meaning muslim immigrants from bangladesh for decades the ringette have been denied citizenship the law stipulates that only ethnic groups who live there before between 24 before the beginning of british rule can hold citizenship many buddhists are convinced that their own hench or can later be last loudspeakers promised that the whole of rakhine would soon be free of

bengalis. who did it over here to tell it it's not just down to teach to uphold laura noida now but also to retain the identity of our country so we have to clearly state that the rich do not belong in our country if the muslims in rakhine state of bengali immigrants no matter how much they're going to do that it. was a time bomb that was taking as you know this rising. nationalist feeling. and where these 2 communities muslim and buddhist also began to see each other not just began but increasingly saw each other as their main enemies as well. and then you had i think not surprisingly the emergence. 2016 on the muslim side a new insurgency and a very militant insurgency the group is poorly equipped it has guns small homemade
