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 were 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 tenuous send its officers in to leave the un back

security force in the capital portal pulse. but a shortage of funds and troops has led to you and to now consider haiti's request to transform the operation into a fully fledged peace keeping 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. we're about 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 2 buzzing streets. one of life just beyond the supreme court. everything changes before this, please was not visible. no one could. of course 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 food part of the canyons. job is to remove them by pushing them with the vehicle. so you're going to push them right now so that you can see what you're trying to do. a few meters before we reach the barricade, we see people running those sorts of videos that we started running, always because they knew i shoot out, maybe didn't anytime. something hits the hatchet, beth is the smell of petrol and goes as far as it can see. learning or learning petro silver thing inside the time of the year,

and so they could still, by the burning motor tough just misses our company to target the rest of the convoy shooting from abandoned buildings, the canyon forces and the 2nd vehicle fire by meanwhile, amanda is getting information from his drone operator on the new by the big oh yeah, yeah. the ones that preparing to, to move petrol and this is actually the up started, but we're showing you them says we'd be going through as a non, this one be going up if i but he 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 uh signals . i want me not long ago, google was inside this vehicle when it was a text 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 that auto for landing 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 street. yeah. yeah. but then you cannot be intimidated by such stuff. you have seen was being some of those . we arrive at the c port, it 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, it becomes clear. it's a cute, but not fully safe. to say is with 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 it didn't, i didn't know what to do. but then you have to keep on pressing one. we're going to leave that down to going through data. 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 have people supporting us. we need the more equipment so that you're going to be able to push on and on for me to another. part of the, the president of the democratic republic of congo, spoke to dw in april and criticized apple. the tech jobs for using so called blood minerals from his country for the manufacturing of its products. president felix to security, also acute neighboring lawanda, are facilitating the illegal export of these minerals. we hear from him in an

interview with dw, after this report. the d i 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 in a row, 10 to lumpkin at tungsten minerals. logic found in easton, d, or c, a volatile region with ripple groups. profiting of autism though mining, the dfcs claim is that minerals smuggled from its territory to run to where they are loaded and salt. tobias like apples from around the world for the see government. this report to be looking into all the 2 options for its pot. apple denies the accusations, the company said it has found no reasonable basis to conclude that any of the 3 team in the rules and its supply chain financed a benefit on 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 1990s. tensions reemerged in late 2020. when. when the rebels re known as m. 23 began recapturing sways of the territory. the d. s. c. the women wisdom countries accuse window supporting rebel groups including m. 23 in a bit controlled the region spice, mineral resources, lender 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. say, mean of a is 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 to make the populations living in these localities. fleet alfred the song possible at the bottom then that transported a long trail was fine motorcycles to relent. but one though a lot and the, the stumped by an international n g a. we quote all that which obviously itself, segments the fact that the blood minerals pauses them off as if they were minimal, its mind in valenda passing from the past week onto them. you know, explain one on the pano mean that they take home interests that processed elsewhere . and then they come and sell us the finished product. we're going to develop a new man. we want to develop our own value change in the d. c, our sales regional as far as possible as it can extend l street.

uh, sitting on the path to now. yeah. and then in what i quote those when, when partnership goes out. so i think we'll be able to fight over to ridiculous by creating jobs. how long down the racing wells in and at the same time have partners will also benefit from this partnership. so it will the most about the value by example. so apple will negotiate directly with the i see the democratic people, of course, with the democratic republic of congo who get why would you want to negotiate with a common thief who's doing business on the backs of the dead congolese, you saw through telephones you have in your countries contained the blood of the congolese, 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. dw studio lagos got exclusive on access to autism. all mining operations in jobs in northern nigeria corresponded okay. oh mary filed this report number that you'd be brought to this used to be from. but no, it looks like it. most of the workers tear up the soil and looking for it's just beneath the surface at this phone regularly ted much. we're here with the permission of the side allows us to fill me in this direction, but not what's behind us. what we can show you is a stream polluted by mining waste. the miners dig with shovels and the bad hands risk in cuts and falls. many of the children spend hours on the hot some, some tell us that the take drugs to get through the day. the bus keeps it close. i

asked to come in our rooms to we're here to get in. we take to the fire slash gathering my boss. okay. i see on well as yeah, after we collect the money, my fault, i guess my share, i mean i take some home to buy food. i don't 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 minus us youngest 15 years of age, who are risk in 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 labor or official data on accidents as well and regulated mines. but we send depths of mind

insights 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 fab bit on the conflict in sedan, but the violence continues to rage on the you and to monitor in 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 rape has also been a major feature in this war. in june, we spoke to pamela passing,

the united nation special representative on sexual violence in conflict about her 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 see for an hour 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 called to mend off will reports of at the increasing the number of abducted women goes, reports of, of the targeting of 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 bought into the context of conflict. he agreed to issue both, so you need to communicate and the command order is declaring 0. darwin's was 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 affiliated members of people in the full hasn't into it. the worst mass like has reported so far, especially the residents of alga naina, the capital of west off or where are a stuff,

militias of indiscriminately attacked men, women, and children. many survivors fled to neighboring chad were 600000 sued. and these people and now living in refugee camps a holly is 9 years old. she had a childhood with no worries until last november. that's when sedans, rapids support forces came to his hometown engineer to detect you still can speak about what happened. that's a bit of the big shot from all 4 sides. like via there were many r as a fighters with them all. i don't know which side the bullet came from the guy. we only found him shots on the risk. you know, how little was charging the leg and needed medical care quickly. it was the family flat to chat with doctors amputated his leg before this attack, the arrows,

us and allied are up munitions to control of a nearby. so denise me, base. then they went to to do and how do you is hometown system metric you looking for members of african ethnic groups like the muscle need community. the rep girls and people are nice executed boys and men. they left bodies on the streets to rot. honey. it's by the 3rd 28 people that day, including his nephew up there on the advisor, the manhood shop team in the head. i'm his wife in the stomach there, but the pretty but i found them inside the house. and again, i do a bit the united nation says the iris f and f allies today is an estimated 15000 people in ethnic e motivated mass because in the 4 in the comp honey, its parents are happy to watch the sun grow up and safety and it's filling them with hope for the future. like when my son rose

up, i hope you have a business. i imagine many things for him and working at the mosque and having children to. yeah, i just want my son to be happy in his life. i have and right now is before he was happiest, when playing football with his friends discuss of the full the remain the on stopping him from doing what he loved the extent to come around. now with for years doctor george butler has been commuting to remote villages of the weekend, providing critical health care, free of charge to pull communities. the w's blaze a on accompanied him and his team of volunteers, and a 2 day trip from the capital young day to mock hello. yeah, cumberlands border with nigeria and just a warning. the next report contains sensitive images of medical procedures.

you know, if any of the weight of the 200, you have another 120121222190. and that vision going to nice nice because some of them are in deaf. i'm now platform. yeah. and they don't know about the program. my photos, you put the 3 years you're stopping at them abroad. brought the inside to the bread . the only one you're suggesting, but i mean wasn't even for me to so we were like 2 or 300 people waiting for that and you were so john and that to me when you bridget, i know your image to be a doctor when you mean i gave you a specialist, i'm thinking of the people who don't have to meet this patient. it's the way we create it best for him to not to stay in the hospital which envision but it's a good deal. the, the, the, the, the, uh,

kind of places to miss the patients on their places and to through them the, in the area with the people that they want to go to the hospital. but they don't have money to buy them as it gets to come in. they'll assist us with these people with that either. so the main thing you will see is that you will see the end of this. but you will see that in the last speech, this is the online, i mean, the honestly so, so do you mind though? model of the 4 at 4 pm. i'm a teacher going to the university. teach to then steve 7. and then at 7 doing my private clinic, this private clinic, i'm finished and they meet at midnight. but this private clinic are very important because this is the main source of the they work on fine us odd eskoville activities because we don't have at the amendment support. we have,

once i knew support, but not the municipal i'm the man who knows that this is what god asked me to do. and this is what i'm doing. i'm so happy. finally, a form of music forge by demand migrants to germany, around half a century ago. that's grown into a thriving and influential cultural scene, mixing those on rows of jazz, funk, craig, a soul and after a beat bugger highlight offers a lively blend of ideas and sounds. and in the summer, i went to meet a new super group here in berlin. that's at the heart of this ever revolving musical movement. the, the living, the high life in berlin. style the multiple generations of performers coming

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 like a nan high life legend, i suppose to be the region now. because of the eclipse that i use, everything. jazz, the phone. and the other thing is john, rub music originated in coastal gonna in the late 19th century, but 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 gunna and gemini, with a match uh at the heart of a so called bug, a movement, a non to the gym and wood for citizen. the thing that charles a more i found that putting a band together wasn't always easy. it was a gentleman guitars where it wasn't something new to them. so i'm trying to get it was, was a photo. so i think it, it was wondering how, how it was with the work. but over the years,

burger high life only became more popular with his experimental cross border approach. seeing his playing upon the venetian of african music today, the music went from one border to the other. and then when they were, they came back and changed. and this is how we ended up with these 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 will 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 highlights blend of sounds. as if an ad, but we've got more online. the next time by the

the, the,
