11:32 pm
treatment of african migrants. while the united nations has criticized authorities on the border for using excessive force. oh, they're angry and sad. they say their friends were killed by the moroccan police when last week they tried to jump the board offense between morocco and the spanish territory. melia. now the chic answers from the united nations refugee agency here in morocco. and not knowing that we went to the city next to me and they beat us badly. they killed our friends and family. love them by the american government set. there were 23 dead, but we know they're more than 70. it's in humane one or not. i said, man, the protest this want to be allowed to identify the dead, so they can inform relatives back home. they also angry at the violence used by moroccan authorities last week around 2000 migrants stormed the board
11:33 pm
offense between morocco and spain. father that this video was posted online by our rights organization. schools of people lying on the ground, many of them seriously injured, almost all of them from sub saharan africa, the forceful response from security officials in morocco, as well as here in india, has also spock protest, he, in spain, the spanish and moroccan governments had long separate proofs into the dis, but many a calling for an impartial investigation. we call on the 2 countries to ensure an effective and independent investigation is held as a 1st step towards establishing the circumstances of the deaths and injuries, and any possible responsibilities. and to ensure that accountability is guaranteed as appropriate. dozens of those who attempted to scale defense have been detained
11:34 pm
and are facing trial. their chart with attacking security officials. and she'll tracking her back on the border between morocco and maria workers repair the board offense. still the migrants keep coming and it's unlikely a reinforced fence will deter them from trying to cross again. or you want me to discuss this is beatrice parallel from amnesty. international in madrid is good to have you with us, your andy, w news, or alice is among a number of organizations calling for an independent into investigation into this incident. can you tell us why? hello. yes, we are calling in turning the bent investigation because we have identified strong indications of severance human rights violation in on what's happened on the 24th of june at the border. we've seen violations of their right to life in the context
11:35 pm
of people not being attended properly. our cynthia lation violation of their right to physical integrity due to the treatment of persons in american police. custody was seen as human in human and degrading treatment. are reflected in overcrowded conditions of persons in custody of them are a complete who's also seen accessing use of force. we'll see in violation of the principle, another form on because you, since people are being pushed back from a spent morocco and we've seen all of your lation violation of the right to apply for asylum. so these are a few of the things we have detecting the why has the spanish enclave of melia become such a hot spot for refugees in recent years? well this is because we dont they don't have a legal way to interesting. we're opening our borders for people from green as it should be because these are people fleeing from war and we're closing our borders
11:36 pm
for other people coming from other countries like sudanese people. in this case, i think this is part of our really, really racist at policy. so we open the door for some of them and we closer them for, for others. so these people do not have other ways to come on to enter st. to ask for a sign, they have to risk their lives in the seat, or they have to risk their lives in defense. so actually what we need is say only a roots to, to apply for asylum. so are we seeing a double standard in the way certain refugees are being treated and what sort of legal frameworks do you think need to be put in place to ensure that all refugees are protected? we're actually seeing these, the standards. this is something honesty has been denouncing for a long time now. and we do have a legal framework. we do have to refer to convention. we have the international
11:37 pm
government for civil and political rights. spain is party of these legal international instruments and we would want to spend has to do is to comply with them. so we were sure that's what our government, why it is not complying with these are legally obligate obligations that each has according to these treaties that it has. right. right. so it's a question of obeying the law not below. so really there beatrice parameters from amnesty international. thank you very much indeed for your time to mozambique now where hundreds of families have been displaced as on groups. step up a tax on previously st villages in the countries north d. w. as you increase, visited the region of cub delgado and spoke to people fleeing the violence them they just want to leave here in onqua. the district. hundreds of people are waiting for a lift desperate to get to safety after several villages,
11:38 pm
where attacked by islamists in recent weeks. many places on now deserts the village of watch out the edge of the district has been spared until now. residents are discussing what to do next. gov on premier, on the, on these ada gay episodes again, visit us. we need to protect ourselves better. now we need to check the identity of the people coming here is that when the point, we also want to welcome those people who are fleeing like in the car and take care of them that are without it, but a discount that they have taken in 60 people from neighboring villages so far out there, or, or non dog, or by attacked our village, vulnerable. why 1st they set fire to the villages close by while we were surrounded, but then we saw a chance to escape arcadia, so we ran it and that we survived. but they burned our houses to the ground. they,
11:39 pm
i'm just tired and my feet are swollen and heard. we walked 30 kilometers to get here and he'll buy lent out honey and we're bullets. we walked for 3 day but spent the night in the bush with our children. now we are tired, but we feel much safer here. oh, so callup line until now they have not received any support from the government. the insurgents have been pushed out of their previous strongholds in the north of the province. and although observers say they are not as strong as previously, the attacks on villages around here is causing fear and panic. they are inflicting gorilla style warfare on communities that were previously considered. safe vaccinate places more detail. and while they ate organization's fear that the con, linked could spread, and we were surprised that the conflict moved to the south that week. a smaller volition are moving to different places. is one of the more complex, i think?
11:40 pm
yes, the capacity of the systems one we we would see, but i think this, we will, we will face some, some issues with the largest secondary school in wanted wish is already at full capacity. since the beginning of the crisis, the number of students here has doubled to 7000 school management has had to turn away newly arriving dismiss students to him with god. you know, some, you're very welcome. you will have this. it's difficult that some classes have 100 students, some of to 140, but doesn't make it easy for the teachers. as you can see, again, it's all stuff, but there's hardly any room to move medical and when i want to properly, i want to say the number of forcibly displaced people in northern was m beak continues to grow. 8 organizations say they expect even more people to leave their homes in the coming days, fleeing the ongoing violence. the u. s. military has held his annual training drill in africa, known as african lion. and for the 1st time, dana,

11:47 pm
life and legacy. the main thing that he was assassinated for was to erase in politics and to erase his memory. so having the square is a, a way of for reviving his arm. his memory, patrice remembers, truth is all that was left of him after he was killed. belgium, returning it to his family, is being welcomed as a 1st step, we hope it to be the beginning of the recognition. death. colonialism was something wrong, was a crime against humanity, and that we can start to install a kind of politic for parisian. it's taken decades for the truth about the circumstances of patrice, remembers murder, to emerge congolese, people at home and abroad. hope it will take less time for their nation and their hero. to get justice. africa's top football tournament for women is back. the
