roger, the classic cars and enjoy maintaining them. why so much? hi, will shed light. i mean the secret rep with we've got some hot tips for your bucket list, a magic corner. hot spot for food, and some great cultural memorials to boot w travel off. we go this is data, be news, live from berlin, the power struggle in. so dad the capital hot tomb is under siege and scores of people have been killed as forces loyal to the countries talked to generals, fight over control. how did things get here?

and way, well the sand also on the program, nigeria is silent, crisis, millions of malnourished in the country. and children are most effective class digging for gold in mauritania. these miners are hoping to change their fortunes in a poverty stricken country, but it's risky work. and it threatens the environment with hello, i'm christine wonder, it's good to have your company. exactly 4 years after the dictator, omar albus sheer was ousted sudan is gripped by a bloody conflict that has led to the deaths of hundreds of people. these are scenes from the capital ha to where people have been sheltering from constant gunfire, and bombardment as rival forces battle it out for key points in the city. the

violence started a week ago when fighting broke out between forces loyal to the army chief abdel fight at bo hahn and his deputy mohammed handle doug alo who commands the paramilitary rapid support forces or are as if in a moment. i'll be asking an analyst if and how the situation can be resolved, but 1st we want to take it back to 2018 when rare, protest broadcast in the country triggering the sudan revolution. it was the sky rocketing price of bread in 2018. that started the protests in northern sudan. they quickly spread across the country, and anger turned towards president omar bashir. you saw the long time autocrat responded with the security crackdown that left dozens dead. oh, nevertheless,

the people of sudan still kept pouring into the streets. many of the women then after 30 years, the military general turned on their leader. omar alba, sheer was removed. well, well i lansing here as defense, minister and head of the supreme security council. we are moving this regime entertaining its head after he was arrested in a say soon. ah, protesters packed the streets in celebrations. but they were to be short lived. after a transitional, military government was set up many, we're not happy with the military still in charge. and vowed to keep demonstrating demanding civilian rule sen. negotiations between the generals and pro democracy

leaders broke down in june 2019 armed men moved in on the peaceful protesters, killing over a 120 people. shortly after civilian military factions came together and agreed to share power. the military promised elections in 2023 economist abdullah ham dock was appointed as prime minister for the transitional period. and the new government moved quickly to carry out key reforms. but many months, a political wrangling hardly got them anywhere. and in october 2021 army chief abdel fatter albert hun and the military removed ham dog from office. i'm a sucrose gun. this effectively ended civilian rule in sudan leaving per hahn and the head of the par military rapid support forces. general mohammed hummed,

undergo lou, widely known as him at t in charge. both made their names during the brutal conflict and sedans doth for region. so the pro democracy movement nonetheless tried to keep hope alive and took to the streets early this year. but instead of turning to democracy on the 15th of april, the 2 generals turned on each other and to talk more about that revolution i'm joined in the studio, asked me, is some, he is a sudanese artist, an activist he till pot in the revolution process that led to the i'll stop sedans, long time ruler, oma, i'll be share in 2019 welcome back me to 3. to get to be talking to you again. the last time was around at the time of the protests. i just wanna begin by asking you how you feel about what's happening right now. back in your home country for personal feeling is very terrifying. amends is the 1st time that we witness

a very large scale war that where, where the conflict areas around my family houses and my friends houses. so i see my friends all the, the, both of the ground, their buddies are the both and she'd gone fan. i think is a very terrifying moment or trying to navigate through that and create a political effort ultimate. in me ways. this started in 2018 when, when sudanese people began protesting, we know that those months long process led to the ouster of a former president obama out the sheer. just remind us again about how that came about because you were involved in the status. so i did their, their pollution of sauce, and for since 2018 december. and it was organized after, after like a long rage and anger, but also balls of disillusion demand. people came together because they want to end to high miniaturized political or political. the space on public spaces, which is actually led to the conflict now. so their vision demand is ending the 3rd

of the sheer power because bashir ruled the countries through the military and through violence and they wanted to and that long series of violence. you now have this power struggle involving the 2 most powerful men in, in the country. who do you blame now because mildly, she is off the way he's in prison. who is responsible for we're done is today now, for years after all states like since the, like for the last 4 years it was, it was struggle again as, as 2 guys, those 2 people, they had me t and a behind 2 of them there where they made a military key in 2015, 2000 and sorry, 21 to end the transition period where the shared power with a civilian government. and they also start to suppress pollution and killing activists to pot speeded on this resolution. wanted to mean to have the monopoly of

power as a military again, which is something that which activists 40 games to people 40 again is bashir, not this year, himself or so the sheer infrastructure, sheer military power and sheer military power. it's which governing sudan, now i'm people shear military power is the one that's fighting now against each other said paramilitary which is a t is a fair military group that, that made by this year, but bore han as the head of the military. he sustained the power of his t and he give it, give you, give him all of the, all of the resources to, to kind of expand his empire as that as a militia. that supporting the military and supporting suppressing relation. i'm interested to know if you still believe at or a hopeful that sedan could one day become a democracy, the democracy at you began fighting for in 2018. yeah, it is not only my believe it's the believe of the people who is an activist in the street. they are actually is still there is people now when they're looking at the

conflict and then they look at to party, which is we're hon and committee. but there's a 3rd party which is charity, faulty with the party of dilution. the part of the people who actually asked for long time for a civic government for ending of militarization of society. and that, that the voices of the resisting committees, political parties, eternity, sandy, cats and dr. unions, they were old fighting too. and those kind of conflict fearing this moment and he's still, there was his loud and they're still there using the space that they have in the middle of this, but the ground to intensify this discourse for civilian government for ending the war. but also in the any form of violence, violent medicines, organizations that actually governing the country. now i may do some thank you for your time and also get some analysis on the power struggle that has triggered the

violence since the done. we've invited fidel also into the program. he is an international relations and security analyst. he works for conflict research consortium for africa. he's based in across welcome to d, w. use fidel. can you help us understand the issue at heart that has led to the current situation in sudan? yes. first of all, like to thank you for this. what is the issue at hand? is that rate integration, or the integration of the paramilitary force, known as a rapid support, led by general dig out the gun into the regular army. in fact, this regular paramilitary force, once in a doubtful conflict during the 2 towns. and that then is the good thing that is about time that the i re integrated or the integrated into a regular office so that it will ensure some stability and general security of the

country. because as a styles, it seems that we have 2 powerful military groups or i'm groups that been there real block courses and the primary to and this reintegration or the integration has caused these problems in the country. and fidel, what are the possible outcomes of this conflict? yes, we are finding peace has become very elusive because while they're really supposed that there are, there is not a comfortable about it integration. and if that, if there's going to be some integration in today, river was, this is not going to secure the economy and interest. and so the outcomes are that one. if you feel that the advantage in the current compet happening, they are not going to lead on yet. neither i did with the fire that is being called

from all over the world. and again, in the thing that you're going to be defeated, that is when you sit around the table, but as a spouse, now i am head and neck and neck with the military. and if so that you will still have to continue, you know, and i have to sit around the table and try to lease and what to read. you know, leaders need to do to help bring stability to sit down right now. interestingly, sedan isn't and it's in an area, a region that is very small and very volatile. we have done a very divided country if you have yeah, we still have so rebellion that was recently quenched or we have a press the there. and then it's also done, we have libya and this can mean every g, a people flock into that. it's been

a many doing it. but i got that that is the inter governmental authority on development, which is the origin of what he is supposed to ensure that there is peace with. and you have this done, he's president of our kill, can president and the president of the booty to intervene or to represent the group in costume. but so nothing has happened. and because they have the potential and government all region into very distant life. wow. ok. so hopefully we can get that resolved before the situation escalates to that point, that that is fidel to talking to us from a cra, thank you for your time and insight. you're welcome. ah, you are watching the diabetes africa still to come. the gold rush in mauritania

that promises fortuna that comes at a high price for the environment. it's to nigeria now way a growing number of children are acutely malnourished and in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. there are more cases in the north eastern part of the country that is a region plagued with poverty and terrorism. we'll hear from a specialist working with the government on the problem. after this report from the capital, a boucher, we did abuse a mca acoya mit a mother whose child is malnourished. halima works when she can make him capsule. but most of her time is taking a look in our thought was mine, her son. he's more than a year old, but he come not cruel, or even sit up a moon. look at and another way out in the,

in adam mozilla. and i know until i discovered my son had a problem when he was 3 months old. now. good. now there yet osa anesha sancho new zealand that i took him to the hospital by because i saw he was different from other children his age to to let him go. she has to be taking and she has an ac issue as when he couldn't sit or do it, other children could do. yeah. come at when magneto and am, i'm sure the hospital confirmed, he was malnourished. beard the auction. g q. she as like they said he was stunted and needed food for growth and action. whitney kalima tried to breast feed her son, but as she herself was mostly without food, her body could not produce enough milk. and she could not afford milk powder. the hope for help from the hospital did not come about either you. so i had my secretary inadequately come on 1000000 baskin when they asked me to bring about 1000000 nighter. and i would be referred to the national hospital for treatment as,

o's or rich, people come to help, but not the government, bobby. she, we have not gotten any support or help from the government and they come here and interview us and we tell them all of our challenges and they make promises. but we never get a response from them. thereafter. nothing from them. what had a woman's axis outcome mana, similar sure. of gormley, halima news. several find these weird ball latricia has lived there. children with developmental problems. these have says only 2 of every 10 nigerian children affected. gets to treatment the need and are now joined by dr. o seats are o'con co, he a works for an organization called nutrition international. they run programs aimed at taking malnutrition in affected countries. dr. o'connor is based in nigeria as country director. welcome to deed every news africa sir. so the government in

nigeria has described malnutrition as quote, as silent crisis. why is malnutrition so widespread in nigeria? we how the country where there is high liberal poverty under poverty such that term, the ability of the families to have access to ins shows food is reduced due to dirt and income level of people as some quiets of the low side. and again, we have crisis in the north east of the country where there is a new security on the trans. also men dot m families do not have access to our crops across our destroyed holiday or that distorted mud display from their homes. so that is the huddled swell lotto fab shots in the family structure. and that are also affected the ability for people to farm and to be able to help livelihood. that is a good for them, right? your, your organization, a nutritional international advisors,

governments on how to tackle the problem of malnutrition. what has your advice to the authorities in nigeria been yes we, we have we, we've kind of what we the government of nigeria to ensure that is and what sector approach and collaboration from sticker does what into public and private sector. so i dressed this huge problem and then to have the government identify areas of need to for the investment in the tricia. but of course, i am government also need to address chun, using m one dimensional upwards involving both government or the state level of the federal. and i've called the local community levels. we also go ahead to have the government do research. one of the research we do is to also as attain aspect of what is good streets for dimensions in the, in the communities. and those has also have the government to, from policies that have helped to, and malaria, the problems. so beyond that, we provide supports for coming in from addition in the country,

through our partners with the government, another partners. and that has also helped to give 22 to 3000000 children assess 2 of them and as of medicine in the last year. so with our practice, we comment on ledger as our alley of government has been a huge m casner, who'd impact in how government had been able to talk when to be shown in the country. all right, that is stuffed or sita on con for country director for nutrition international in nigeria. thank you for your time sir. than to god bless you. ah. and now to wear gold rush in the sahara desert, where thousands of people are digging for the precious metal in the hopes of earning a living mauritania is the last country in the sahara where gold has been found. and the government has recently granted a concession, allowing people to mine the gold. but as you're about to see it is very dangerous

work. and there are warnings about the threats the mining poses to the environment . in the sahara desert, in central marin tamia, gold fever has struck each of these holes contain some one's dreams. mohammed salam is placing all his hopes in the sand. it was him with up yet i don't. i'm from a poor family dorothy, or dana. i came here to send my children's school through the all to the able to send money to my family and adam about that especially my mother started a coil. i see this rock here a part of lava. i've got to test it without fancy signs that it might contain gold . so i'd go listen, you know, he's one of the 40000 gold diggers who have rushed to the desert. they want to escape unemployment and create their own opportunities. mohammed fall,

never imagined. he'd join the gold rush. despite studying, he has found it hard to find a job. if you thought it, i tried to go abroad in to continue my studies. if was the can i applied for a few visas for spain, for germany and for canada, but they all refused. it's more difficult than finding gold. if you're getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold really not done with the miners dig deep, it's hard. manual work aided only by jack hammers with barely any protective gear. typically, the shafts are 60 meters deep. but some go down as far as 200 meters which

it off, up the mercury will, evaporates, leaving us with just gold one suzie, this nugget has many carrots. usually a nugget. this size would only weigh one ground with this one weighs 2 and a half grams. the waist contaminated with mercury is piled near by. the wind often blows, dust far and wide. the sea is less than 30 kilometers away, as is the bung doggone national park, the unesco world heritage site, famous for its unique biodiversity. the nature reserve is also one of the richest fishing grounds in western africa and an important bird. nothing area. journalist, my mona select, has been warning for years that mercury poses a danger to the entire region. it's a myth, kirby is that the mercury passes from animal to animal vandal. it has transformed and at the end of the chain in humans, it becomes methylmercury,

which is extremely toxic and dangerous dilemma. cook, hello. com. this is a very, very heavy environmental todd. i fear, has this phenomenon been studied enough? careful? are we really thinking about it? what are we asking the right questions to solve it. but for many of the minors environmental concerns come 2nd to their dream of finding fortune. good. and that's all for this program. now, as muslims have been celebrating the end of ramadan, today will leave you with pitches of eat gatherings across the continent. i'll see you next time. ah.
