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 property stricken country, but it's risky work and it threatens the environment with hello, i'm christine went away. it's good to have your company exactly for years after the dictator, omar bashir 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 ham dan 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 you back to 2018 when rare, protest broadcast in the country triggering the sudan revolution. oh, 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 alba, sheer for 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 i then after 30 years, the military general turned on their leader. omar alba, sheer was removed. oh, well i, lansing here as defense, minister and head of the supreme, secure to cancel it. 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 were not happy with the military, still in charge. and vowed to keep demonstrating demanding civilian rule. then 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 and 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 fattah albert hon. and the military removed ham dog from office. at the most sucrose gum, this effectively ended civilian rule in sudan leaving per hon and the head of the prior 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, da, for region, the pro democracy movement, none the less 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 ouster of sedans long time ruler, oma, i'll be shared in 2019 welcome back me to 3 to good to be talking to you again. the last time was around 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. full personal feeling is very terrifying. amends is the 1st time that we witness

a very large skill war that where, where the conflict is around my family houses and my friends houses. so i see my friends all the, the, both of the ground there. but these are the books should grant and i think is a very terrifying moment or trying to navigate through that and create a political effort. i've made in many ways this started in 2018 when, when sued in these people began protesting. we know that those months long process led to the ouster of a former president about alba. she just remind us again about how that came about because you were involved in the status. so i did the derb legion of sauce and for since 2018 december. and it was an 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, militarized political or political space on public spaces,

which is actually led to the conflict. now, sir, the venetian demand is ending the, the sheer power because the sheer ruled, the countries through the military and through violence and they wanted to, and that long series of violence. now, you now have this power struggle involving the 2 most powerful men in the country. and who do you blame now? because i am alba. she is out the way he's in prison. who was responsible for waste? the done is to day now. oh yes. after about is all started like since that like for the last 4 years it was a, it was struggle again as, as 2 guys, those 2 people, they had them, the committee and a bore hon. 2 of them there where they made a military kid in 205-2000, sorry, 20 to one to end the transition period where the shared power was the civilian government. and they also start to suppressive lucian and killing activists to pot spade is on this revolution. wanted to minute or 2 is to have the monopoly

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

a people now and they're looking at the conflict. and so then they look at to a party which is behind and committee. but there's a 3rd party which is charity party with the party of delusion, 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 doctor union, they were all fighting to end those kind of conflict, fearing this moment and filled their voices loud. and they're still there using the spaces 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. all right, i may do some thank you for your time and things and now to get some analysis on

the power struggle that has triggered the violence done, we've invited fidel also into the program. he is an international relations and security analyst. he works with conflict research consortium for africa. he's based in across welcome to d, w. news. fidel, can you help us understand the issue at heart that has led to the current situation incident? yes. first of all, i'd like to thank you for this is the issue at hand. is that rate integration or the integration of the power military force known as a rapid support led by general dig out the gun into the regular army. in fact, this regular paramilitary force in the whole conflict during the 2000 and didn't need the good thing that it's about time that the i read 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 is saying that we have 2 powerful military groups or i'm groups that being the robot courses and the primary to and this reintegration or the integration has cause 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 one, they're really supposed that the era there. it's not comfortable about it integration and they feel that if there's going to be some integration in today, river was this is not going to secure the economy and cut interest. and so that outcomes are that one. if you feel that the advantage in the current compet happening, they are not good lead on you need that 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. all right. 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 in south done a very by the 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 cross in the military. i see that you. 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 the back hill that can president and the president of the booty to intervene. or to represent a group in costume, but so nothing has happened. and because all these days have the potential and go in the whole region into a very distant life. wow. ok. so hopefully we can get that resolved before this 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's 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 america or koya, met her mother, whose child is managed. halima works when she can make him cups to sell. but much of her time is taking a look in after it 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 go to me and,

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 axes are carmina similar shooting of gloomy halima news, several farmer, these weird ball attrition has lived there. children with developmental problems. usa says only 2 of every 10 nigerian children affected gets to treatment the need and i now joined by doctor or seats are o'con call. he works for an organization called nutrition international. they've run programs aimed at taking money, attrition and affected countries. dr. go is based in nigeria as country direct. welcome to d, w and use africa. so the government in nigeria has described malnutrition as quote,

as silent crisis. why is mon nutrition so widespread in nigeria? we have the con to abilene, high liberal poverty on the property is touched, the ability of the families to have access to shelf food is reduced due to that and income level of people is quiet or the low side. and again, we have the crisis in the north east of the country where there is this insecurity that has also meant that families do not have access to cross across are destroyed, how they do that distorted my display from their homes. so there is a 100, well not all fab shots in the family structure and also affected the ability for people to farm and to be able to have the livelihood that is good for them. right? you organization, a nutritional international advisor,

through our partners with the government, another partners. and that has also helped to give 22 to 3000000 children assess 2 of them, an estimate on in the last year. so what our partnership, we comment on nature as i lee of government has been a huge m. as to who the impact in how government had been able to talk when to be shown in the country. all right, that is dr. sita, on concord, country director for nutrition international in nigeria. thank you for your time, sir. then god bless you. ah. and now to the 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. he threw at him with up yet i say, i'm from a poor family dorothy. oh donna, i came here to send my children's school through the whole toilet, able to send money to my family back home about that, especially my mother started. okay. all i see this rock here part of lava. i've got to test it with a fancy signs that it might contain gold. so i'd go listen, yes. he's one of the 40000 gold diggers who have rushed to the desert. they want to escape on employment 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 john. if any, depart here i tried to go abroad in to continue my studies if was a can i applied for a few visas? if for spain, for germany and for canada, but they all refused it, it's more difficult than finding gold. getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold really, if it has not done well. 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.

yeah, very dangerous. down there that you working away and suddenly collapses. the sun falls on you in an instant. everything can change off and you'll be track russia. we'll start looking for you will clever sand until we find you back on was no oxygen. if you get trapped inside the pit f austin services god prosecuting apollo oxygen because they're working in formally, there are no records, no regulations. many times when miners die, no one ever finds out in this area, not long after we visited to minors died in a cave in trucks take the gold bearing rocks, dug up by the miners to a huge processing site on the outskirts of shami, the saharan gold capital there, the precious metal is extracted from the rock using large amounts of mercury, which is dangerous for people and the environment. dorothy wants the white metal you can see is mercury inside this gold havoc. if we burn 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 mono select, has been warning for years that mercury poses a danger to the entire region. it's a myth, kirby, that the mercury passes from animal to animal bundle. it has transformed and at the end of the chain in humans, it becomes methylmercury,

which is extremely toxic and dangerous dilemma. cook hulu, on this is a very, very heavy environmental. todd, i fear, has this phenomenon been studied enough before we really thinking about it? what are we asking the right questions to stop it. but for many of the minors environmental concerns come 2nd to their dream of finding fortune a good and that's all for this program. now, as muslims have been celebrating the and over on a done today will leave you with pictures of each gatherings across the content. i'll see you next time with
