put the pedal into the metal and let's ride the beam. 60 minutes on the w. these places in europe are the record step into a little bit venture pizza, the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of us record breaking site on drawbacks youtube. and now also in book form the, this is dw news advocate coming up on the program. treating patients as war rages outside before. how long sedans, health work, as battles with a growing number of casualties from the financing. but even hospitals that might not be safe havens also coming up as more refugees lead to had his violence. and

looking at fossil host communities in golden, gone on keeping an eye out for potential incoming threats. and you've gotten to repeal the bad on cats popular stimulants will take a look at the love and trade of this controversial plant in the east in africa. the no, i'm told me. alrighty. but welcome to the program. the military factions, or at war and sedan, a fall from ending the how still it sees, but they've promised to minimize hom to civilians and to allow safe passage for medics and humanitarian relief. so far, the fighting has destroyed numerous medical facilities and forced to many doctors and all the health workers. to me those who can bad to remain all over whelmed with patients, you might find parts of our next report, disturbing

a fool as ro has both as the fighting and how to route up to the station. her twins had been born prematurely and were safe and an incubator, but then maternity hospital came under attack city and when the bombs started falling at the hospital on april 20, we were told we had to evacuate because no one knew what would happen next. so we scrambled to rescue my 2 babies. there were no ambulances to transport them. and one died because of the lack of oxygen tombs medical facilities have been shelled again and again in the week since the conflict began. many medical workers have fled to un estimates. only 16 percent of hospitals in the capital are still fully functional. and those which are still open, like every thing, electricity, water, medication waiting. then as soon as the car stops with medicine are starting to

dwindle up. if it goes on like this, everything will collapse. a lot of people ask me for medicine, but i can give it to them. a month of fighting has meant another ending stream of severely wounded people. has a, he's a hospital is 2 hours outside talk to him about the homes that come a treat stanza to every day. like this man. he was shot in the back of the i'm searching via the since the beginning of the fighting with we've received study many in good people the some of them being shot in the like some of them in the hands and some of them in the stomach. some of them here survive and some of them on the fortunately don't receive between 3 and find patients every day. the most dangerous injuries are the gunshots to the stomach.

another young man describes what happened when he ventured with relatives out into the streets desperate to find food. suddenly he was surrounded by gunfire and hit in the foot. so far as i started moving forward, bullets were flying towards me. more than a 150 bullets and there was, i could hear the sounds i was get. i lay on the ground with 3 of us that my father, my cousin, and myself, we just gave up. they've been ambushed by the power ministry rapid support forces who robbed him and his family of older belongings. finally, letting them go to the nearest hospital. i saw the rapid support forces routine inside the homes of civilians, but i managed to make it here safely. thank god, i meant the fighting hospitals were doctors like homes come out, keep felicity working a one of the few places and so done with us at least the help of safety and refuge

or from on this dire situation in sudan, i am pleased to welcome to dw his africa doctor, so hey, i'm now a member of sedans, doctors for human rights, and she joins us now from london. welcome to the programmed up till now. now let's just, let's go back to this organization, this sedans a doctors for human rights, but you are affiliated with you a part of the rallying people around the time of the revolution. what's the organization of, what's the collective doing at the moment with the, with the war? so the initial re, much of the organization was really to luck with colleagues in the diaspora as well as on the ground to provide any show that access to health care was maintained to support our colleagues. that i, as we have gotten into this crisis as of april and this is becoming increasingly

difficult because many of our colleagues are unable to go to work simply because the health care facilities have been affected, significant the destination. so we're continuing in our role in advocacy externally added to the, to the team policy and ensuring changes that can come into place to ensure that we can deliver that healthcare access to the people, those adults. and what are you hearing about how your colleagues incidentally coping, especially with it, with the fighting and with the limited resources. so it's, it's, it's, it's affecting us on multiple levels. it's affecting us institutional levels affecting assets, social control, and of course of personal levels. so we are struggling huge see, because the healthcare facilities have been decimated, many health care institutions have been actually brought to the ground. there's

been extensively tingle medical schools, medical equipment, even better in the boards. this subsidy, a huge box of medication and health care supplies. and indeed multiple uh, groups of health care personnel, not just doctors, but all levels, including all paramedics necessary midwives, have been affected and have been basically put in a situation where they cannot work. why would anyone be suspicious of doctors? is that because of the role they played in the revolution or is there more to it or? yeah, i mean, i think this is a common problem. we see all over the world of doctors and nurses and health care profession is generally are always there which is called a need when a crisis or more because and therefore their role goes from being neutral role to that, to see why different policies is not being neutral, and therefore they do become a targeted to some extent,

an equally loss of all our browsers were involved in the 2019 revolution in trying to promote a not just a health and safety and access to capital, but also to try and show that the people of saddam got what they needed when they needed it because they always had a very fragile healthcare system. and it was quite important that the doctor stood up for uh for, for ensuring that that health care system was sustained and maintained during that time. and at the moment, what are the most patients needing what, what, what do they like? so we can go in so many directions. it's everything from very simple things like pain relief, um antibiotics to diabetic medication, kidney medication, particular patients to guys to dialysis. and then you know,

young people dying of asthma attacks, which is all good. oh really? because there's no oxygen or medication to help with their asthmatic attacks. so. so it's everything that is what we was called all routine prism, abrupt but to all the work we we do anyway, is doctors videos on top of that. you've also go to the injuries and the trauma and but not having access to intravenous fluids. so or medication, to help so spacious. so even take the general phrasing serious it to fix the problem that they may have. how can sedans, health look as be supported? bearing in mind, the fighting is still going on some of the, the, the routes to even get to where they are in the, in the line of files. so how can, if, if the international community wanted to support them, how can they do so? so i mean, this is, i think the several factors oversee we need the want to basically come to a halt. it has to be stopped. we need safety,

guaranteed for all health care workers and civilians. and we need to ensure that the car of goals of peace are, are maintained and sustained and not breached. so that medications and all the health care resources which are arriving at school. saddam, for example, can get from 4 to dogs to the places of need in places like how to undermine. and by the way, the actual war is raging. so actually ensuring those cardoso piece all maintained, ensuring we can get transport because at the moment, even the, the access to fuel water interesting cetera is not available is all of those things is the infrastructure has to be put in place. and the only way that can happen effectively is whether we want to come to a stop. we go for the best doctor. so how now member of sedans, doctors for human rights. thank you for speaking to us. now on the other side of

the continent, the threat of had as violent spreading in west africa as the hell is a worry from neighboring countries that have enjoyed relative safety sofa gone. i was one of those on the left in the north of the country, local communities organizing their own watchdog groups, working alongside the security agencies. but there are concerns about the potential pitfalls from this approach. as dw is maxwell slope reports from gunners apo east region. i know i hear about the read or the look out for me to work. dr. slow is known in need to dialect as cool. good. well, google visited your role as keeping an eye out for the be sure individuals and you have missed separately. got you supported tom in these community? it has a weakness, an influx of refugees from booking up for so for the into hottest. but this concern he had that not everyone may be trustworthy debris. deed come on to sounds, things up. the cfo did you had this post as for, for jeez,

and one more people to be what books security on at least see luca, eyes and ears can provide useful information to deal with together with y'all told her this new rule of nice white document. this is basically sylvia's it or that ways this kind of community identify illness science traits, then inform the respective security is to take the necessary steps for several years. now. lucas, of being encouraged to help to identify it. as for me, is movement india communities to the what the group is, people have to be on the lookout like the u. s. 3 accounts in the community and i've been to community member will be able to identify that this is a string guy who has come to a separate guy. and i want to forward that person to disagree, i guess is this group was created able without any formal training but has received

endorsement from the district police unique but security analyst mathias. i think it just question that given ripples uh, sophisticated ripples. so are the ways that bill with what nice and it well we are the i that these look people who are the will treat to handle this way. pose looked at 10 points to a warning patio, where the militia, how become a trait to gain tie society. if we take the case of stops it done, they did it wimberly. she is. this way. this was a group that was sponsored by this it that needs government defied. uh, the block that for you is that definitely rigid. and what has happened now this, this group has become image. it does have done gun, as military has been conducting, created to counter it posts, estimates valdez, and what docs are open about the prolongs to use your response to the perceived threats i found was time goes on. if we have something like weapons,

we will know what to do with them with. and the other thing was that the state must provide social services and be generally present in the community. otherwise, the trip is not extend them, but also into another. he says, where people feel that they're not included in the governance process because also uh get up and become extremist groups against this deed. and even a gives the people gun as board is continue to be safe place for, for just clean attacks from booking up a. so desperate on saying that it purely security b solution might become part of the problem that you've gotten. court has revolt a bond on a cat. stimulant client. cats is not on the major international drug convention, so it's left to the discretion of each country. and that's complicates of the debate. belief is popular in eastern africa and india radian peninsula and among

the dice for our communities. seating a multi $1000000.00 trade, kenya is one of the main produces correspondent felix the ring. has this report on the love of meta as cost is known there. and the business behind it of the typical sites at this hour of the day, it's about 3 pm and they will be and that means that truck has just delivered the fresh products that's crumbling. and soon as everyone tries to get what's the order each bag is labeled to the customer's name. it was amazing has already gotten how but industry due to the distribute to have quite a few months. the month of one sees the business has been to beneficial to keep up with i use the income to educate my child, to feed the family and to pay rent and made it with my parents. finance though education to meet our sales. our only help is to meet our truck without it. we cannot suffice. i've been in this business for some time, and i've seen the benefits and kind of let go of it, but the bundle

a matter of how customers come in. large numbers assume that the truck gets to have my gets done. most of them love the tweaks in the fresh and out really way to from the truck before it gets to the stand. the plant, each of attracted criticism in the global market, is widely accepted in this area in quite a few months and that'd be the mirror is never home to me. i started keeping it when i was in class 3. as it can see, my teeth are still purse. i don't, i mean i never had any of them pulled out the man. that's good because i feel so good other any time i chew mirror with the weather, the crop helps me sleep better and it gives me the satisfaction i like and i work in the mirror sector. i don't make a big profit, but it provides me with my basic needs to do if it's not a bad business in the mid i is a fast moving product, which is this process as it gets through the market from the from it involves a lot of people who do deliveries so that that goes to months, can get to enjoy for us. and for longer periods,

patrick cannot see that you have passed on for me to actually designate it will be contrary to the view that you guys did to mental say, maybe that is beneficial to many young canyon's while you got shut up. but the mirror of business employs the loss of young canyon spot where i'm it 1st is in may red traders. now. then there's a motorcycle right. is not on the truck drivers really? we don't own the vehicles. no. the motor bikes. we worked with people from different ethnic groups in kenya, in this business, as old as i can pull up whenever you have time. no. the, what's on the $20000000.00 people across the globe consumers ideally even thought the country suddenlink us board as to whether it should be classified as a drug or a cost. crump capitalizing cannot continue enjoying the 5th. right, to have agreed to shop for more on this, i spoke to sarah, i'm at cushion a research fellow at the danish institute for international studies. she's investigated had in some of the communities across the eastern africa, including the dominant role of women and its trade. i began by asking how,

why women play this role and how this had impact of the communities. most of the women were working in the straight women who um, uh often times you know, we those, or a divorce fees or are there there so, you know, divorced and not living with a male figure in the household. and they have to somehow fix for the family and this business. it's quick to and so you only need somebody to sort of represent you and sort of as a guardian and, and you have a quick access and it's believe us cache. you know, you don't, you don't sit on that because there's always a market a for it. so this women actually, it has the, uh, the called tweet has empowered this women because it has given them opportunity to, to work up a teenager to connect with other women. but also to have some kind of an income where they could at least 3 food on the table for their children and,

and support with schools and, and so forth. but i know the importance component to this study was that the, how women as opposed to each other, you know, of these women how small children often times. and there's an absence of a father figure. and they have to really make do with what they have. you know, at their disposal, and oftentimes they don't have a lot of support from society. so they form networks where you'll find, if a woman has to go somewhere, it will be very easy for how to, you know, speaking this, what's a group and say, you know, hey, i have an appointment this afternoon. i would like somebody to babysit for me or to buy abc d for me from so on, so or to pick up this or deliver this. this will be the work as a, as a support group, as a group that provides in the old other important services that they will not, that, that they, they cannot find elsewhere. and that's why it's couldn't,

it's mainly dominated by, we mean, because they have the skills that oftentimes men don't have, you know, that in terms of being connected in terms of knowing where the big event is happening in terms of working so closely with each other and and providing safety support system that has been existing for a very long time. and um, these women are, are, are, are, you know, the, the, the, are challenges. but you know, it's going to kill you. they are better off things, but then they will 567 years ago because the, they grow from very low and the higher key to at least some, you know, middle class income situation. if it is so widely accepted as opposed and popular in in the circles, why is it so controversial at the same time? because it seems people content to describe it, to determine whether it's a mild stimulant or an actual drug that needs regulation.

it is a, it is a kind of a, a drug and it has an impact on the human brain according to research, when consumed in large amounts. um, but other than the medical parts of it, it also has been a you know, a destructive impact on the, in the, in the family, on the household of these women who are selling this scott. and oftentimes they are, they are living on their own because there's a sort of, uh, uh, you know, that the family unit is not intact anymore because of the fact that men will consume this. ultimately they do, they kind of function well in, in the household in the family unit. and um, um and it has been many studies that hasn't been done, but also this, the federal government to pull and government we, i have lived for many of a but also by non somalis as to what exactly is the impact of the cops on the

household of the community, how destructive is, it's a, you know, and they have been, you know, conclusions the, you know, it is a very, um, um, you know, destructive effect to consider in policy making. and the government has tried on a number of occasions to, to, to, to bind it. but it's still, it's still, it's impossible to do so because out is consumed by many people in somalia for different reasons. and it does be very, very difficult to just stop that because it plays an important role both by the people who are selling it. hope you're not still disability because they have to make a life load. but also may also be the consumers because in places like how to visa, interested like look at the show or they'll call you and boss also as well. i mean, they have been, they have been

a lie or have you brought to us. they have been in ambros. uh, you know, um a demonstrations held by people who are in favor of a car been made available. uh because it has tried even in gutter where they were like, lodge post as of a man with a back tooth. you know, uh, an image of the, you know, the family unit being broken into pieces or something like that. they have tried because in a way of visual language, even to make it possible for people come to read or write to, to get the point. but they have failed and um, and, and i know 6, there will be any change in the future to, to criminalize or to stop the trade completely. because of the simple fact that it has its place at the very community social level. it plays an important role, but what sarah ahmed cushion of the danish institute for international studies,

she mentioned, somalia has tried and failed to band cat despite its destructive impact on families . but many of the countries have outlawed imports of the plant. and this is forced to some farmers in kenya to turn to other crops, ccnf, the farmer, beatrice, to where it used to grow kent. but just increasing numbers of countries found the substance. she realized she needed to find another source of income. a solution with some flowers work. i didn't know, and when i sold the you can small it headphones can get to have not prompted any of the crow i chose to begin prompting something i was i found an advantage in sunflower. they're giving me because it allows me to feed my animal longer. when i make some money from it, i pay for school fees and use the remainder to buy food to reset. i've done this because there's no alternative. my piece of land, small equipment doing this and that's something you can do. another fonda is aya

keel. go to continues to grow and harvest capped by the but he to say he has had to switch to other crops to survive. not only have traditional export markets account shut down or he also has climate change to contend with of the problem in any way. what it is i a blah, blah, in the olden days we had reliable rain full. and it was sufficient and that i wait, not because that's been really quite an amount cat would sustain us. well, in somalia was buying alcohol because i, you know, could, uh, did ultimate, who doesn't look. now we have a drought and the crops have been affected. forcing us to plant vegetables, potatoes, beans, and mays. i'm not combined. uh, so that we can at least find something to eat because there's a drought. so cause i because i so in future it could be down to

the creativity of people like beatrice, to where to find new ways of making money and being able to exist as a farmer. well that's it for now, but there's more on d, w dot com, forward slash i forgot on our social media. we'll see you next time. bye for now. the
