with beliefs but days demanded democratic reforms in the kingdom. formerly loan swaziland is 14 easy, small montana state between south africa and was on beek build a government, and the position gave different, i guess they both agree that thousands die in their hands of security forces. in the ensuing crackdown that hamil from said that god meant to impose type restrictions on the population, partly justified on the grounds of the fight against the current virus pandemic. by the measures, including school closures and a half, you only seemed to hype inventions on shop and businesses on fire. hey us on the streets, road blocks and stores looted these are the themes of anger boiled over among protesters, calling for democracy in es, what teeny, we are there any we are so much greg, by the government. sounds good. i'm with with over time. if our government,

if you get out of them, it is that though, i mean that the one miss lynn, the one man he's talking about is kings want to said he's ruled as with teeny for more than 3 decades. is an absolute monarchy, appointing the prime minister and retaining the ultimate power. the king is known for his lavish lifestyle and 15 wipes. he's also been accused of repressing any opposition, but there's growing demand for change, bothers young people who don't want to be part of the government in the want to the part of the government. you must see cities the like the rest of us in cult. weird like every one of us. so did his white people kinder on the streets, making sure that defeated as part of the land and we don't. many of the businesses targeted in the latest wave of protest have linked to the royal family authorities . government imposed the curfew and called for com,

where an issue that believes in dialogue. and it is with that in mind that we once again request or chris to must to use alternative tonners to express their grievances. government has opened an email address where must want to can continue to direct their concerns and petition. security forces within tend to deal with the unrest and opposition groups say several dozens of protesters were killed. the un has called the crack down deeply concerning emitted tense. come their fears that could be more bloodshed to come. my next guest spent a year behind boss. and what's the me do for contempt of court after he criticized swaziland to just sort of system. and it's the international declared him a prisoner of conscience. introducing that prominent human rights lawyer,

delani mythical idols that thanks for joining us. you have a chair of a multi stakeholder, coordinating team, an umbrella group. what do you represent or who you represent and what exactly are you calling for? thank you. group group then all the political part to the. ready fatherland and what is kind of the group then the, the, you know, in your women and your youth, the and the of the groupings and putting the call that we're making as the, the, the towns you know, the country into a multi party. and then we had a question where then when i became defiant in that request, one key issue is that put us to have

a challenge with the king and the power he welds someone's him to step down what you expect him to do. they go get for the thing to step down. they then call for him to t k. no commitments doing gauge in the process of that process, which we determine the job of the more nike in the country. right now. i'm voices, which i think, given the met him and the kinds in the end, the med people are by the army own thing. they have come into the paper. the one i think was the moment is down for him to make a commitment to be a little dialogue. we did it by the talk that through that so that the so people are already dead. is there any sort of compromise on a solution that will not endanger the lives of pro democrats?

he protested, when the situation is so would be the people continue been by the army on the all on invade the private home to allow them to make them to break that point and 40 is that clear court that they do from the street just thing and heading our people and allow an environment where you see the dialogue, that's what you want stuff, what you want. but if that is not exactly the case, at least immediately, what kind of compromise can you reach to and sure that no one else loses the allies in this protest. know why there's been taught at the moment. call is clear. bad. yeah. has to ensure that the process started you

to a new position. the people enjoyed that. so what role can the international community play and all of this? and then right now you may be willing to open that door to negotiation. the pin. let me sat down to be a you today, you and, and for them to admit just to blow up in that door. and there is no commitment or anything down. you know, what they're going to see when they wait for you. that is our call to the committee met the see that there's no, we don't dipping down and talking as opposed to on the defense as to what cycle you as you simply core criticizing judicial system. 7 years later,

things look worse than ever. do you sometimes news hope that things will ever change can never, ever, never lose hope and never have a right to job for the people will sutherland and one moment think that would remain done that this condition there must be something you for the food of the country and there, well, as opposed to ensure that those one of the gates are forced to engage in that data defined for till i did my cycle human rights. like i said, the multi stakeholder coordinating team. thanks for your time. thank you so much. thank you very much. oh, now an escalation and community violence has forced global mining james wheel team

to spend operations on one of its mines in south africa. the company closed its rates at the mineral separation in cross. we do not how out there as soon as it gets it was killed and millions of rounds worth of equipment was destroyed. many see the mine has ruined the livelihoods of use. christine wound reports from south africa. ask why you do not. how province this is the longest family homestead in, so go new village. people here are angry. they've been up in arms about the richard bay minerals mine begging him flung goal is one of the communities leaders. he said the minds management has long been ignoring the community and the grievances they've raised. he shows us cracks in the houses. he says, the cause is clear. they appeared because of i abrasions from the mines digging activity. longer phase, the drinking water has also been contaminated it

looks clean, it doesn't taste good. one of the mind sites is just a short distance from here. it has long caused conflicts between locals and the mine operators. the villages say the land is not just being contaminated, but also desecrated the sole community phase. there used to be grades here that were cleared to make way for the minds activities. they take issue with the fact that when the mind discovers remains they don't give them back to the community, but instead disposes of them. now the community sees that is very disrespectful, but it also doesn't afford them the opportunity to perform the necessary cultural rituals for when remains are removed from one location and taken to a another. solo is one of 4 communities surrounding the mind. young people here say they get passed over when the mind gives jobs to outsiders.

geena, danny said his job applications at the might have been rejected. he took part in recent protests against the mine police fire tear gas against the demonstrators. cortez for the peaceful. it was not a violent protest that was in for the people from being employed by the mind. and we had to go in for me and my mother was a but there has been violence in may this year, one of the mind senior executives was shot and killed on his way to work in june. these earth moving machines that belong to the mind was set on fire. police are investigating the murder and the vandalism. they have not yet made any risks. security has been beefed up around the mine, but the company has halted its operations. and so the situation improves. in its

statement, rio tinto said an escalation in the security situation had led to the decision to suspend operations. here at richard spain, minerals, the company went on to say that the safety of its employees and staff was its top priority. richards, bay, minerals, mines and exports, titanium dioxide flag, which is used in products like paint plastics and toothpaste. its the biggest taxpayer in the province and employs about 5000 people the people in. so, hulu are demanding change. they say they have a mine in the backyard, but they don't see any benefit from it. i. well, we should. i mean, if that's a demand should listen to us and appreciate it. when we ask for some intervention from them as a mining company. if we ask for help, they must pass for now the mind is idle. without a clear social and labor plan, it looks like the longer it goes on,

the harder life or get the you're watching did of the news africa still to come. the job of faith symbolizes the hope that africa will one day have the mascot, 900 vaccines for everyone. but fast to the youngest country in the world, south to don is mike in 10 years of his independence from sudan on july 9th 2011 south. saddam was established of the 195 country in the world by the birth of a new nation came with great challenges and fridays anniversary was a song by fair people have been told to stay home due to the growing virus pandemic . one decade ago that people felt good on only knew one thing celebration. this was their independence day. after more than half

a century of civil war with the powerful north population of tulsa don voted to secede by an overwhelming majority. 99 percent one favor, but the birth of the youngest nation came was a burden. many of these land as seen on all suffering and it would have been men in to live and it was done, you know, own country. but the we have well, we will not. but just 2 years later, civil war broke out again with ethnic divide. fueling the conflict president. here from the majority, didn't sex rights president leak much from the newer peace agreements between the 2 sides came and went almost 400000 people died finally in

2018, kia and agreeing to form another unity government in 2020. they were sworn in as president and vice president. it will be our responsibility to restore people's lives and to inspire them once again to believe in the department of ours who done yet widespread corruption and violence have hampered efforts to build a functioning country self. so don is poor guy, rich nature resources. one 3rd of the population is displaced 60 percent dependent on food aid ramp inflation and natural catastrophes make the situation worse. by 10 years on, people are still yearning. we does need to change these. neither does

our, the but i think they must take the bus and get this onto today, and people who have citizens and hope for the center you can take need of the census after 10 years of independence felt to don is still very much dependent on outside this little to celebrate in zuba fernandez, i'm now joined by nicholas hayes them. he's the head of the united nations mission to south sudan and miss hello say welcome to d. w. news africa not 10 years ago. there was great optimism about the future of south to done fast forward to today. have those hoops been fulfilled? no, i think quite frankly, most child to to needs are except that they're that they harps of what independence would bring had not been achieved. i think the function of this

anniversary is really to remind people of deals and to put back on the agenda of the hopes that they had worked independence might to live in for sausage and needs 10 years or so. have there been any achievements over the last decade? well, i think, you know, given the challenge you, john started as a with what should i say change rate. they had no institutions very little road. there has been some progress in standing at the stage. i think most people would say not as much progress as they would have hopeful, but they also would have to take on board. it shows john has gone through to civil wars in the 10 year period since in the beginning. so there and doesn't mind what is the daily life for someone in south sedan we like sink, has in and matched this jerry a day would be

a difference between someone in an urban area, somebody in a rural area. the particular concern that we have is the international community is the extent of food insecurity across the country. the very hard for you to nice refresh your face knows me food insecurity to the real prospect of having some of the causes of their natural and change that is been flooding that way. also some of the causes of the current food insecurity or magnetic people have not been able to plant because they had their lives have been disrupted by conflict. and the planting season has come and gone with people launching. and there's been a so called revitalized piece agreement in place for nearly 3 years now. is that meeting any difference?

i think it has made a difference. we have seen a reduction in the levels of violence, please politically inspired violence. but we've also nurtured an increase in what is often called your inter community violence, which is largely taken up to inter camino violence is more reflection of inter communal tensions, but also the poverty and the economic conditions in just a don very often centered around the effective capital and the perpetration of revenge, revenge attacks. so we are trying to make a difference in the picture is our peacekeepers. but also through gauging elders and representatives of the communities in deliberating and agreeing

arrangements by which communities can live together. other than in the presence of arms, police so that you took off as a special representative this year. what's the main change you hope to achieve for the people of south saddam during your time? what we would like to do to support the sharpshooter needs people to make progress in the transition donly transitional part way as it were, that they have agreed to follow. and that involves some quite significant tips they will have to accomplish, including green on a new constitution. that is the arrangements by which they can live together in peace making progress in the arrangement of the 1st democratic condition in the country. and more generally in building the institutions necessary for a state to be a young democracy. and to begin the development trajectory,
