a daily tragedy for millions of people with survivors facing the added threats of starvation or even sexual violence. but there's still a lot to celebrate. the doctors would treat those who cannot pay for health care offices, striking up new ribbons after decades of playing music the . i'm told me, alrighty. but welcome to the program. will begin dw news africa outside the continent. back in october, we heard from the kenyan police was struggling against the odds to help haiti since 2021. the caribbean nation has been engulfed by gang violence that's left to thousands dead. in june this,

the tenure send its officers in to leave the un back security force in the capital portal puns. but a shortage of funds and troops has left the un to now consider haiti's request to transform the operation into a fully fledged peacekeeping mission. even so, the existing force has made some gains despite the great risks of correspondent mario miller got exclusive access to see them at work. in the hazel capital, were allowed to go on patrol with a kenyan police and for the prince with games control, a large part of the city of opinions on here to support the haitian police and securing the city after crossing through buzzing street, one of life just beyond the supreme court, everything changes before this place was not visible. no one could have cross. we are, we are right now. we were entering a wasteland. this part of the city is deserted. the un says more than 700000 people

have been displaced. they fled when the gang started spreading, tara burning down houses, killing indiscriminately raping women and girls. these barricades, the gangs erect to keep the police out of the territory. often they use shipping containers stolen from the port part of the canyons. job is to remove them by pushing them with the vehicle. so we're going to push them right now so that you can see what you usually do. if you meet us before we reach the barricade, we see people running those sorts of videos that they started running, always because they knew us, we thought maybe didn't anytime something hits the hatchet, beth is the smell of petrol and goes to bed. is it considered just learning or learning federal silver thing inside the time of the year?

and so they could still buy right on the burning motor. tough just missing our company to target the rest of the convoy shooting from abandoned buildings, the canyon forces. and the 2nd vehicle fire by and meanwhile the commander is getting information from his drone operator on the new by the wording video. yeah. yeah. he ones, they're preparing to to move petrol. and this is actually the started positioning you them to be going thing as a non, this one be going up if i really doesn't above it so that when you go just below the building the for the foot on us under the button, please. what like us, i know if i want me not long ago, google was inside this vehicle when it was a taxed instead of like the base gate on homes. if we vote there, they might,

but not the right to know. so going there. if it needs a little frightening as well, now we cannot go back there. on the other side of the barricades, we see people running like a gang members. we have to move quickly and another not to settle warning left by the gangs. human skulls, this goes, i usually elected the very know that to me data like like sending a message. it doesn't make an attempt of coming through the sit. yeah. yeah. but then you cannot be intimidated by such stuff. you have seen was being some of those . we arrive at the seaport, a crucial lifeline for haiti, bringing goods medicine and food into the country. it was one of the 1st locations, the canyon secured after their arrival. but when i went to film across the bay area, it becomes clear. it's a cute, but not fully safe. to say is where again,

control the territory. and they sometimes just a few days ago, they shot at the worker here on the side. so it's still highly dangerous to be here, but i didn't know what to do, but then you have to keep one person one. we've got to leave that done to going through that. but then the problem is that he seems to do they need, need to have some things that i mean it's, we need to, to, to have people supporting us. we need the more equipment. so that's going to be able to push on and on. make sure that the president of the democratic republic of congo spoke to dw in april and criticized apple. the tech giants for using so called blood minerals from his country for the manufacturing of its products. present fixture security also accused neighboring rolanda are facilitating the illegal export of these minerals.

we hear from him in an interview with dw, after this report. the d r c once on says from apple over with sources the mineral components for its devices and electro to apple lawyer query the use of so called 3 team and a roles, 10 to them, 10 at tungsten minerals logic found in easton, d r. c. a volatile region with ripple groups profiting of autism and mining. the dfcs claim is that minerals smuggled from its territory to render where they are loaned insult to bias like apples from around the world. for the see government is report to p, looking into all the 2 options for its pod. apple denies the accusations, the company said it has found no reasonable basis to conclude that any of the 3 team, minerals, and its supply chain financed a benefit to all groups in the region. minerals from the d. c,

a critical to producing the world smart phones and many of the electronic devices. in fact, it is the main source for natural resources needed for global technological advancement . the dns sees many road which great lakes region has been played by violence since the 19 ninety's. tensions re emerged in late 2020, when, when the rebels re known as m. 23 began recapturing sways of the territory. the d. s. c. the u. n. and weston countries accuse run though supporting rebel groups including m. 23 and a bid to control the region, spice, mineral resources for one to denies these allegations of the president of the d. r . c for the extra security was in berlin and spoke exclusively to dw about why his country is threatening legal action against apple. so, i mean, the most serious thing is that these minerals are extracted from the congolese

subsoil at the price of blood on the, as i said by using violence and terror for you to make the populations living in these localities. fleet l street, it's on possible define then that transport is a long trail, was fine motorcycles to relent and foot. wonder a lot. and this dumped by an international and g o. we quote all that which obviously absolves them as the fact that the blood minerals pauses them off as if they were minerals mind and lambda passing on. they fit by sequences if they didn't, you know, explain one on the pano mean that they take home interest that processed elsewhere . and then they come and sell us the finished product. we're going to have a little bit no ma'am. we want to develop our own value chain in the d. c. our selves who's really low as far as possible as it can extend l street. uh,

sitting on the about the now. yeah. and then in what i quote those when, when partnership goes out. so i think we'll be able to fight poverty while ridiculous by creating jobs on problem down the racing wells. and at the same time have partners will also benefit from this publish it. so it will then i'll set out there now, you know, by example. so apple will negotiate directly with the d. c. that's going to be the democratic people, of course, with the democratic republic of congo, who get why would you want to negotiate with a come and see who's doing business on the backs of debt congolese you saw your telephone to have in your countries contained the blood of the congo least get a phone call was as easy, novel be content. another song big one more day and it's not just in the d r. c. nigeria has huge mineral deposits of key elements like 10. but it also faces the challenge of the unregulated extraction of minerals. the sector is also widely

known to employ children who often work in hazardous conditions. the www studio legal scott exclusive are access to autism. all mining operations in jobs in northern nigeria, corresponded okay. oh mary, i filed this report number that you'd be this used to be from. but no, it looks like it. most of the workers tear up the soil and looking for it. it's just beneath the surface at this phone regularly ted much. we're here with the permission of the site. allows us to film in this direction, but not what's behind us. what we can show you is a stream polluted by mining waste. the minus dig with shovels and the bad hands risk and cuts and falls. many of the children spend hours on the hot summer. some tell us that the take drugs to get through to the bus keeps

a close. i asked to come in our rooms to we're here to get in and we take to the buyers flush the ring, my boss. okay, i see on, well as after we collect the money my fault, i guess my share, i mean i take some home to buy food, idaho, and i'll even keep the rest for myself. in the morning, i come back here to work. no one behind me is a dangerous reality, and that's on regulated mining in northern nigeria where we have mine as youngest, 15 years of age who are risking their health to make some money. so the kids make around 10 euros. fuck, you know, a deep that's a good wage, but it's a legal for them to be working. there's no government oversight on child legal or official data on accidents, apple and regulated mines. but recent debts of mining sites around the country have

brought the dangers to national attention. in nigeria, poverty is the major factor that pushes many to take the risk of working in these mines. this year we have reported a fat bit on the conflict in sedan with a violence continues to rage on the u. n. to monetary and chief, the recently spoke of shame at the wells failure to protect people since the war broke out in april last year. that's when the fighting broke out between the sudanese army and the rapid support forces are assessed for control of the country . and that's come at the cost of tens of thousands of lives. with more than 11000000 people displaced and 26000000 facing mass starvation. the 2 warring parties of acute each other of using hunger as a weapon of the rapes has also been a major feature in this war. in june,

we spoke to premier le pass and the united nation special representative on sexual violence in conflict about efforts to hold the warring parties to account. and what seems to start with the conflict. in april 2023. i gave you both bodies. i c, f and r is that on the 1st of august of 2023, i had a meeting with general abdur rahim to got the deputy commander of the of the iris center and i raise, we see him all these. we both reports that are had a of the time reports of sexual violence in khartoum and docile reports of an increase in the number of abducted women and goes, reports of, of the target to the medical infrastructure and personal giving support to victims of sexual violence. and also who would probably do something about the existence of slave markets in industrial. we women and goes being sold, including into sexual slavery or helpful ransom. and i urge team to issue the full no undertaking of the full amount that you need actual community condemning sexual

violence and committing to effective measures to prevent of the address such violations. including fluid time bound inter my dish and blog as well as combined order as a degree as your daughter when's with sexual buttons as part of upholding military discipline? he acknowledged, i must say the gravity of sexual violence with the context of conflict. he agreed to issue both so you need to communicate and the command order is declaring 0 daughter ends with sexual guidance and you do so after. so shortly after, after the meeting. but unfortunately, i must say that's up to now i do not see any discernible behavioral change on the ground because we believe continue to pull in about atrocities being perpetrated by our assess. and it's of any of the people in the full hasn't into it. the worst mass like has reported so far, especially the residents of alga naina, the capitol of west off or where are a stuff,

patients on the places come through through them, they're in the area with the people that they want to go to the hospital, but they don't have money to buy them education to come in. they will see the for this, the, for along with that either. so the main thing you will see is that you will see the list, but you will see that in the last speech, this is the online, i mean, the honestly so, so do you mind the model of the 4 at 4 pm? i'm a teacher going to the university teach to then do 7, and then at 7 doing my private clinic, this private clinic kind of finish and they meet at midnight. but this private clinic are very important because this is the main source of the work on finance, on eskoville activities because we don't have at the maintenance support. we

together in celebration of the west african countries culture and music. and we've been lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the distinctive command sound at the bands rehearsal studio. hot thomas is one of the most well known faces of the high life scene. i'll put another way, he's a good man, high life legend. i suppose to be the original. because of the eclipse that i use everything, jazz, the phone. and the other thing this general music originated in coastal gonna, in the late 19th century, was brought to germany in the 19 seventy's and eighty's by musicians leading

political instability and the country's military regime. and now with access to new music and the latest instruments, the let the creative juices flow and that sound evolution soon got a new name. the highlight style of music associated with the many migrants who would travel between gonna and gemini with a match at the heart of a so called bug, a movement, a not to the gym and would for citizen, the sing a charles a more. i found that putting a band together wasn't always easy. it was the tires where it was something huge. so i'm trying to get it was, it was a photo. so i could think of it and was wondering how, how does that work?

but over the years, bug a high life only became more popular with this experimental cross border approach seen as playing upon the venetian of african music. today the music went from when border together and then when they were, they came back and changed. and this is how we ended up with a release today. so what my things, we try to stay original, but we also made these sites and then use today's tools to make it solid. multicast, i would say the band is now preparing to play gigs here in germany and elsewhere in europe, hoping to delight fans, old and new with a modern twist on the classic bug, a highlights blend of sounds. that's it for now, but we've got more online. the next time by the,
