peaceful resistance and soon became one of the most important spokesmen of the anti apartheid movement. in lean, you install a humming coming green. you're going to be jammed paper. chinese and he came to destroy. it was 30 he's i know it back outside of south africa to to received great recognition for his courage. in 1984, he won the nobel peace prize. o 22 was a thorn in the side of the country's apartheid government. but as prominence also shielded him. in 1985, the anglican church elected him bishop of u. hannah's berg. and later, archbishop of cape town, after the end of apartheid, came a further step towards politics. under south africa's 1st black president,

nelson mandela asked his friend to lead a truth and reconciliation committee for months to to listen to the confessions of perpetrators and to victims accounts often becoming overwhelmed by them. later mandela thanked him, saying to 2 had protected south africa from hatred and revenge away your carbon her dar paper under long walk to freedom help her foster smart for life and human rights irrespective o'connell, religion, xander, all after his term, his archbishop, to to traveled the world using his prominence to campaign for human rights and climate protection, and to fight discrimination all the while never losing his sense of humor. in the eyes of many, he was most often relaxed and laughing. he later made friends with another

the civilian prime minister, abdullah humbug has since been reinstated. but the pro democracy movement once a government completely free from the military. ah, t gas and water cannon against a growing movement. angry at military rule sedans, capitol cartoon was once again the scene of mass pro democracy protests. a military crew in october, through the country's transition to democracy into disarray. and the reinstatement of the military and civilian government. a month later failed to ease anger at the armies power grab when we are here and we still believe in the 3 nose, no legitimacy, no bargaining, no partnership with the military. the military does not rule us and we demand the hand over a full power to civilians. we demand civilian democratic rule, the more robbing maddening,

almost 50 people have been killed and hundreds injured in crackdowns on anti cru protests since october. and there have been allegations of security forces raping women protesters in the lead up to saturdays rally the authorities, blocked roads and bridges. internet and phone lines were cut off. but the pro democracy movement is still finding ways to stand together against military rule area. we spoke to d, w. africa correspond felix and ringo who's following the story from us from nairobi . we asked him how likely it was that the protesters demands would be met. it is very unlikely that the military will actually stepped down or back down and based on the resent development cause like earlier today, the internet was cut off. so people are not able to communicate amongst themselves . and so they were not able to mobilize as enough, but

a protest i talked to this particular evening said that the military seems to be dead tired and getting tired with what the protesters are continuously doing to mount pressure on them. but it is very unlikely because even the prime minister, who has reinstated still has his powers clipped by the same military that people expecting to bog down. so whether the military will back down, it's very highly unlikely, especially following the resent developments. devlin, felix marina, speaking to us a little earlier i, let's turn now to some other stories making headlines around the world. the day the saudi led coalition has launched large scale air strikes on rebel her held areas in yemen, killing several people in the countries north west. that's in response to deadly missile attacks. my hershey rebels on saudi arabia in the 400000 people have died during 7 years of war. a suicide bomber has killed at least 5 people in the eastern city of benny in the democratic republic of congo. the explosion went off in

a busy restaurant in the city's downtown. no group has claimed responsibility, but the city has regularly same clashes between the army and an islamist group. man, miles military has been accused of killing at least 30 people from the ethnic career minority in the countries. east witnesses said they were killed while trying to flee. fighting between the army and resistance groups, a group save the children, save 2 of its members were caught up in the violence and still missing. that's returned to our top story. now the death of the south african archbishop desmond tutu. i'm bringing dw corresponded to so kamala, in johannesburg, south africa to so an incredibly sad day for so many south africans. how did the income for such beloved figure? yes, a dozen one to 2, a passed away a to day. and this morning at 90 is. he's been a figure

a fool when it comes to a party in fighting a potted in south africa. he's one person we've known for doing his best. you know, that to win that nestle dealer in the likes winn prison. it was to, to, was out he had trying by all means air to protect and fight for justice, for those who could not fight for justice themselves. and we know that in his last is last years. and the past years he has been in an out of hospital because he had prostate cancer and day at night. obviously he had done. his beauty was ab rarely in the opin or in the public because of his ill health. but he's really a hero at person was been seen by a lot of stuff kens as next to nelson mandela because the fight that he made a for apple. do remember shooting update in the when operated was rounding up, use the men was there in the requisition commission way. he was a at to them to collection commission. we was tried by all means to bring peace

between those little pip attracted appetite and death. and the bricks of african. so it is a very big loss for south africans at light, not only south africans, because the only fully also fought at beck leaves or for injustices outside of left gas bought us. i want, i want to ask him what his death will name for south africa is that is a blow to south africa, but also it enriches of africa because i think is left a legacy that no one can avoid it when it comes to his death. now of course that figure is no longer around, but did his legacy ended the dismal to the legacy a that from dish and that delivery be behind him? i think it's going to strengthens lufkin when it comes to a patio deal to remain a father figure in terms of what his danville discount in terms of bring you to call solution. yes, racism was still in south africa, but today is going to be credited for fighting very hard to make sure there is no a party opinions of africa. all right, thank you too sir. kamala,
