a country in morning. i am personally so devastated. sometimes when you just passed by these minute cascades, you cannot help but shed tears because loved ones, one whole family completely wiped out. also ahead after 2 years of civil war and if you have just t gray region, we look up the who ta to tease, carried out by armed forces and if justice will ever be saved. ah, i am eddie micah junior. welcome to the program. it was one of the well strongest ever storms that has brought parts of south and africa to its knees. more than 400 people are known to have died after cycling. freddy tore across the region,

bringing with a heavy rain start triggered flats and lance lights. most of those killed way in malawi, where authorities now fees a desperate battle to get aid and supplies to the thousands displaced. allow is president last roster. clara has called on the international community to help steve off an impending humanitarian crisis in a country. now, united in grief, bucket by bucket, they bury the dead funerals for the victims of landslides triggered by days of heavy rain. oh, it's an emotionally charged and a painstaking battle against the elements. but they keep going. ah, this is a country in mass morning. hundreds of lost their lives. here in the wake of sy

claim freddy and implant tire. one of the worst effected areas, more coffins, lined up under a rain soaked tent malawi, president joining the queue of people paying their respects you cannot help but shed tears because loved ones, one whole family completely wiped out. and so many others that have been touch, you feel sad that we are at the receiving end of crime. mad, big changes that you know, you feel helpless. and that sense of helplessness is easy to understand when you see the lives shattered by this giant storm. like so many now this family a trying to recover what they can from the wreckage of their home. but say they had

little time to save their possessions in the wounded zillow. munoz in no visit d. i with i had no idea as to what impact a storm would have to do. you know, to william head woo ruler. i just realised that there was a heavy downpour when the house here and on the other side collapsed to douglas. was it a girl who said, who was with douglas? so i was shocked. you know, but really i was confused and didn't know what was happening. i am on brooklyn, journals of the 10s of thousands now displaced. some have ended up in crisis centers like this one set up in a school. many of those here were women and children in desperate need of food and water. but supplies are running short and getting more aid through is proving difficult, with many roads and bridges. now destroyed adding to a growing humanitarian crisis in a country already struggling with a cholera outbreak. and as the emergency response now turns into

a recovery mission. with more bodies than survivors being pulled from the mud and debris. the death toll and lasting impact of this national tragedy is only expected to become even greater. oh, let's get more this from pools a little more for king. he's senior forecaster in disaster risk reduction from the south african weather service. hello sir. cycling. freddy made lamb for twice or 3 times and lingered on for so long. what makes it unique from previous other storms? is it made lend forest over america? in was a big, big tool was a big tenant, which is the ocean between my desk and wasn't big. and after that, it moved to finally to was a big again. and so that's where it died down just so far my last week. and that

was a quote, it had to do with the length of it, but it also does existing. i think it turned around a lot. so other say close it had one truck and just maybe 110. but this one, it, so many tens saw that another input to know what that might have been broken. ok, i mean, if i got you correctly, you're saying cycle of friday, s the longest. there was like learning recorded history. is that right? most likely that is correct. ok, now extreme weather events are quite common in malawi, a neighboring countries. why do they keep happening? well, they extreme. what could happen every way they did? the whole difference is how prepared people are. i did hear one of the officials in malawi indicating that it's because of the fact that they are having difficulty to speak with the people on time. but as of the forecast,

we had to focus on time. is there anything unique about the region that makes extreme, what a events quite common? that number one, it would be that was a v 6 really a flat 10, c. so these storms i'm actually moving with ease over and was a big that is perhaps one or is it as a move, for example, posing bubble. most of this talk too big for the dead out, because then you have a lot of friction with high mountains and all that. you don't have that it wasn't big. so besides the fact that the ocean is all, or sometimes it normally warm. so we also have the issue of the fred se, i don't want to be which make the systems to actually have relatively free movement and therefore causing a lot of a but at the same time, even the governments themselves, if you compare mozambique and my we, i think it was on because i had a better plan to respond to the storm this time around that that sounds about right

now scientists say human cause climate change has worsened cycle and activity, making them more intense and more frequent. so should we expect more storms like friday? the simple answer, or should i say delete? the simple answer is to say yes, you can expect the storms to be way more extreme in terms of frequency or so in terms of the intensity. so that's what we can expect. you would remember, even in south africa we had a v v. that actually had international headlines so, so indeed it's not on this other figure, but many other countries i having these extreme conditions. so we can expect more such even beyond their topical seconds or that sound. so i don't think anyone is looking forward to it. know exactly what can come out of such extreme

weather events. but that's where people like you come in. how can weather forecasters like you help countries better prepare for such extreme weather events . we as weatherford has to work together for example. so that's going to the same issue. so i have the forecast to the all countries in the south africa nadisa. so then african development community. so static we, it's really easy to focus for all those countries and we cooperate, we'd be focused as together. and there is also to take those messages forward, but also they have to make their own intense, localized analysis and communicate to the public. unfortunately, from time to time, we have to incidents where is difficult to has or this. we need the message to people on type those areas where according to these poor governments have to pull what really had to necessarily make it possible that all messages that are coming

from the weather and many other events actually cheaper. ok, who is the lead? so i'm a fucking with us out african weather service. thank you. now she already had neighbor in was i'm because also among the countries impacted by cycling. freddy, with more than 50 that's reported so far. while any loss of life is a tragedy. that tool is much lower than in 2019. when psycho only di claimed hundreds of lives in the country and left millions in need of humanitarian assistance in the 4 years since then was on the has put in place measures to help it be better prepared for extreme weather events. so they paid off military out as the united nations rest and coordinator in was i'm big mozambique has taken the decision that it absolutely needs to be resilient. mozambie is a 3rd most exposed pathway to climate, to apply metric disasters,

and to climate change. and so starting from a, the head of state, the head of state is the africa union champion for a disaster risk reduction. and the country has invested a lot in technology in a narlija. and that has actually, by now this time before before cycle. and freddy very sophisticated satellite imagery extremely accurate and the very close collaboration between the methodological center and the civil protection. so they could with extreme accuracy go to the communities that were about to be hit and have a lot of extensive information to them so that they had to evacuate and accommodations centers were created and authorities deployed themselves at minister level ministers when an under,

when the cycle on in the same way as the population, but that caused also a very big commitment and the very big mobility section. this has happened and is happening with a lot of collaboration. also with the international community, the united nations and other what more can other countries learn from was m b, and what more can they do even beyond what was on the cast done to limit the damage caused by such natural disasters? so certainly investing in prepared nasa forecasting and in the populations certainly training the population. so mozambique is also investing in resilient infrastructure and, but this is something that demands a lot of time and a lot of investments. so this is a must do for every country. this is what us your p and countries are also doing.

and this is what requires a global solidarity to support countries like mozambique and many other countries that are exposed to natural disasters. in this way, is there enough money in store in the u. n. to support such countries in dealing with such disasters? or is it a case of there's so much happening in the world, there's not enough money available. we have not used all the stocks that we have here to provide an immediate response. we are united nations as well as the whole humanitarian community, but also civil society, the institutions here we have provided a lot of supply b. so for b, a water purification tablets, food plastic sheeting to the population, but it is not enough that is a huge need for support. and there is a huge need for resources also because at the same time as i'm big is experiencing

a color outbreak. and when you have floods, the color outbreaks can only amplify. so we need a lot of solidarity to help the country that is already doing it through the vaccination campaign. yes, because for you and if, sorry to cut you the u. n. is doing enough, and is it been running out? well school to help come from was then because a huge agricultural pension, mozambique can become the bread, bread basket for, for a large part of our, for many, many countries in the world, many, many countries in africa. i think that is a common interest in supporting mozambique in having a resilience agriculture. it is in the interest of the whole world to support the mozambique and farmers lost all their harvest now with this cycle. and they will not have a crop until next year. this time, ok, so it is very, it is

a common and joint interest and benefit ok. maritime colored. united nations residents coordinates i was on be thank you very much for your insights. you're welcome. ah, you are a secretary of state antony blank in vessels at the top here earlier this week. after years of strained relations caused by the conflict within the country, lincoln met with his if you can count about the mecca mcclendon in odessa barber. a trip is part of a push by washington to support peace efforts in the country after 2 years of civil war in the t grey region. us like a tree law that a 2 parties for the up he's efforts, possession of hostilities agreement is a major achievement. and step forward saving lives, changing lives. the guns are so as the fighting has stopped, human rights violations have declined. humanitarian assistance is flowing and

finally reaching nearly all communities and need services are being restored in the t gray region, the t p elephant, sorry, arity and, and other non federal forces are departing. prime minister abbey and the philippine federal government. and to grand regional leaders should be commended for reaching this agreement and for the significant progress in delivering on their commitments . now this comes, i made reports of the large scale massacre in t grey, just days before the peace deal was signed last november. witnesses see more than 300 people were massacred in villages around the town of ottawa in t grey. the killings were in a parent's retaliation for e battlefield defeat, inflicted by the t gray liberation front on our retreat and forces who were fighting on the side of it. you can governments troops, our rights groups of accused every tree and soldiers of frequent mass killings, systematic rape, and sexual slavery during the brutal 2 year war. did have you gained access to the

region to hear from survivors? a warning you may find the following report upsetting aberdeen had her go survived a massacre where more than 300 villages were killed. it happened just days before a deal was signed ending the warranty gray one. she had heard rumors of people being killed. so she and her family went into hiding near her house and cast the an alanta car under the when the cattle started making noises. my son and husband left for the house to see what was happening. i grew up in katy and so i then a soldier came and killed them both i lawyer, i think the one she heard shots being fired. it wasn't every tree and soldiers. she says, here's where he shut the door. maybe inside her hut, she found a bloodbath. her husband 70 year old betty,

you are by shot dead on the floor. holding his cross under his head. he had been a priest, unit at mansfield, my daughter, your father is dead. now we carried him into the living room. and when i went there, we found my son over to the home and also dead him. ideally, we were shot, i didn't, i yeah, we covered them and cried. her 28 year old son. good day billy who had been planning to marry soon. abbot her goss and her daughter were too scared of the soldiers who were occupying the village. they stayed in the house with the bodies for 4 days, south and retina. then i went to the church to see if i could bury them there. but a high ranking era train soldier said, no, he said, it was us who attacked them. i told him we didn't know and hung. she buried her husband and son in her back yard. after 2 months they were finally moved to the church graveyard. since then, abd ahead, her goss hasn't slept well,

she's overcome with grief hurt. what did we t grands do? they must be held accountable. it was civilians they killed. they killed the people instead of fighting the soldiers. according to the administration of the town of admiral, the soldiers slaughtered more than 300 people in various villages. over the course of just one week. witnesses say a retreat and forces took revenge on civilians after suffering a defeat on the battlefield. at cedar or by a social worker recorded 90. 1 people who were killed in the village of mariam chevy to over 3 days. the can with l and a half live if and had it of the 91 victims at 12 for women. i for the 10 were religious leaders. when we looked at the ages, they were from 2 years to 92 years old. they killed toddlers, little girls, entire families. often the soldiers tied their victims,

hands before executing them. in one case, both parents were murdered in front of their 5 children. miss ad goes, he actually had la, they killed the mother named t gay and mutilated, her breasts with a knife after they killed her, they put the baby on top of her, a coffee, i'm of them. all right. these findings are a testament to the gruesome violence that happened here at by hopes that her records will one day help justice to be served. for some more analysis, i'm now joined by adam cassey. i bet senior advisor for constitution on peace built in to national institute for democracy and electoral assistance in the hague than netherlands. hello them. is there any chance at all about victims of the conflict will get justice and thank you again for, for having me. there is certainly a political understanding that the violence that's was can,

that's happened in connection with the civil war or also that the violence that has happened before the civil war started. that justice is necessary to address the, the, the, the, the violence then. now in terms of how to go about it, the kind of justice, all of that is still is still very open. and of course it also questions around the intention of the stakeholders and not just a government, but also the shirts of the liberation front. because violence has been committed on all sides and so there are questions around in taishan and also questions around the capacity to, to deliver even if there is, there is willing, i mean, you mentioned violence has been committed on all sides on from all sides. every tree and soldiers who are aligned to the government during the war also accused of horrific acts of violence. so could they really face justice? that is very complicated because you as an independent country and any process that

happens with any to europe. yeah. would very likely be restricted to, to, to if you're up to date of and government and to go and to go on leadership. and so if you're kind of present a unique and very difficult situation, and if there is to be accountability against every period, every 3 years that are responsible for atrocities that would have to be more international, it will not be possible for the to open government alone to impose any, any sanctions and so an international it's obviously a very difficult, very complicated process. and so unfortunately, i suspect it's going to be a lot more difficult to hold us accountable at this stage. and that will clearly be a big challenge to the people that are seeking justice, talking about, you know, opening it up to an international say committee,

maybe to try to seek justice. the t is pushing for a local legal process. it has objected to un commission of inquiry, but why not allow on independence body to help seek justice? would that be the best deal? once a year, you're right in international, the united nations humorous council has set up a committee investigating atrocities connected with the civil war. now the, the german government obviously has been against it, partially because the committee was set up at a moment where the war was still raging. and so there was a sense that the counselor was being used by, by unfriendly countries to, to push its agenda in relation to the war. and so there is that there's a, there's a bag that comes with it. and secondly, the mandate of the commission is restricted to the civil war. and what is your been government now is proposing again, as i said initially,

their intentions and capacity got questions around those. but the intention is to look beyond not just, not just on the civil war, but be owned to include issues of justice that i've been, that i've been advising in the past decade or 2. and of course, more fundamentally, the different government things that justice is a matter of sobering, over unity for the country. and therefore it's what it wants to have control. how feasible is that. i mean, u. s. s. secretary of state antony, blinking with yeah, just recently what will the us role in all of this help to achieve a so you know that the situation is very complicated. the country is still in transition and it's very delicate, very fragile. and so questions around just is obviously have implications closer to 2 questions around it piece and you more chrissy and all of that.

so internally, the can willingness to, to proceed with these things would depend on the power dynamics and the international community naturally. because if it's leverage over the economy, because if it's control over the world bank and other other budget budgets and diplomatic support, the trip and government, they have some leverage in guiding the approach that they took and government tax. but overall, the, the primary responsibility remains with, if you open government, but the international pressure can certainly shift the measures that they took and government tax. but because the country is still in transition. and because of the situation, you know, as, as, as big as it was, the civil war is essentially part of the dynamics, part of the complexity that the country faces. and so we have to see how productively the international community, particularly the west can engage. but the primary responsibility would depend on

the top and government and in that incentive depends on the ongoing political dynamics within the country. ok, adam coffee, i bet, would international institute for democracy on electoral assistance in the hague, netherlands. thank you. ah, that's it for now, from all of our stories, you can visit us on d, w dot com slash africa. or you can go to our facebook and twitter page. it's thanks don't for your time. i've been out with, with
