which means north korea, a rogue, an isolated power with nuclear weapons called russia. it's pragmatic friends. at least for now the . this is the, the, the news africa coming up on the program. the escalation conflicts in easton, d. r. c. m 23 rebels are advancing in the region, not just using a key city goma, even 1000 instead of growing humanitarian does. austin? there is no sign of immune and peace with contrast to and to god the trading blame a neighboring countries getting involved. also on the program, the warnings and can yeah, of a rise in cases of police abuse is we'll hear from the victims and the exit. this fighting for justice plus the social media side hassle. we will meet the content creates as going on, allows to grow their audiences so they can monetize their post.

the hello, i'm christine. wonder it's good to have fuel company uncertainty and, and unfolding humanitarian crisis. have grouped eastern parts of the democratic republic of congo. the in $23.00 rainbow group currently controls the largest city in north cable providence cruise to the london board. and dr. capturing goldman last week of spices are now reported to be heading south towards another city. because now the battle for government destroyed homes and livelihoods and displaced hundreds of thousands of people. the un say's as many as 2900 people have been killed. that with the bodies of many victims, now being buried in mass graves, age groups have raise the alarm and mid fee is that disease,

it might splice before that once we lost 3 people, some from a bomb. another was shot. honestly, we are devastated by what happened didn't go among our biggest lee as for the leaders to ensure that the war in come on because war has no value. we want peace and gama or for the content of the and least level, just conflict in urban area. i'm not seeing the case in the, in the region with heavy 0 is fighting in the, into town and violence spreading too many a neighborhood. the city. do you mind told is staggering, a speedo remain totally overwhelmed? the most up for mid equal to just cannot cope with a number of injured the risk of if you didn't isa hiding to the corner a, an impulse and food us become scarce with it. nation. and so i see the

rising now diplomatic efforts to end the conflicts have so far failed, but the one day and, and company's president's port cuz i'm in phoenix to security. are expected to attend a summit, intends in yet to address the crisis. one that denies canes from the u. n. d r c, that is supporting the ribbon and fonts we have from the minimum. and the 1st is the con, the least president to say is the international community needs to take action. what was the last day about the next you your assignment? nothing fuel induction in your face of the key. golly regimes pop by 2 boxes on the atrocities perpetrated by its henchman on a tire tree. no. so are in the front. no. telling me to the democratic republic of congo, but also to universal values of justice and peace. the comfort of these people take note of this passivity bordering on complicity before the company to the city. most of london's, please. these are comedies and one time we accept it.

then another time he stays in all parts of the t, z s. and then the other part is of one done these other that you some and while we the does of own countries accept this to go on forever and yes, accept that. we should have the money for the to buy. she's a good deal with iso forty's. not the day or say a cheeses rhonda, off using m 23 to new to companies, minerals. the rambles have, sees lucrative mining areas in the countries east. and you end report last the same bus said b m $23.00 group was sending hundreds of tons of the red metal colton to one day every month. that's a key component and useful mobile phones and electric vehicles. now to get a bit of perspective off the situation, i spoke to one of the leading experts on the democratic republic of congo, jason students previous see that the you in panama of expense on the d r. c. he is

the founder and the chair of these condo research group. i began our conversation by asking him about the latest drivel push in eastern d r c. and what the m 23 group is speaking to achieve as well. the state of goal now is to overthrow the government. in contrast, they have recently said that they want to go all the way to contrast it over through the government. that's a, that's a new state of goal. their admissions used to be much smaller, but i think the things have changed dramatically in the last few weeks with the fall of goma. and what looks like a continued advance and other cities and the congress. how sophisticated is that m 23? you say there ambition is growing, it is the outfit growing to well, the m 23 is really inseparable from their own. an army the wrong from the very beginning. their own an army is played a very important role in providing supplies, but really also in backing up the m. 23. a lot of the fighting is being done by the

run around an army. they are contributing at the moment, estimated somewhere between 6007000 troops, to pro, in equal number of them 23 fighters. they have a used arm and vehicles surface to air missiles sophisticated drones. and so the, the real fired power from the employee tree really comes from thrown an army. it's unclear without throwing an army, how much internal cohesion, training, and expertise in 23 actually have your waste. and they pointed out in, in one of your recent blogs that this is now the 5th time that the city of go mar, has been under siege and, and the one that has had a hand in the escalation. what if anything is different this time as well. i think it's a useful to point out the last time to go myself, which is 2012 that was also to the m $23.00 rebellion even before the town of going

to felt introduced to community impose sanctions on thrown in government for its support they cut 240000000 dollars of age their own and government, and that had it almost immediate impact. their own and government ended up pulling the plug. and the and $23.00 rebellion collapse. this time is quite different over the last 3 years and a half years that the end points rebellion has been around. and even though there's been 6 different united nations reports documenting rowan in support to the m 23. the venture, as the community is actually not only not suspended aids, rolanda, it is increased that supports their own and government. the european union in particular, provides a to their own, an army, it's deployments and mozambique and has signed very large new investment agreements in rwanda. so i think that was really changed is the complacency of the international community. i want to probably be in a moment about about fast, but just just coming back. so it's it to the region. they're all see is off of

escalation. we know that neighboring countries, uganda and burgundy, are now also involved. what say that for these countries? you're absolutely right. there's a very real risk of a regional conflagration. um, but i would say the one by one brandy has been involved is deeply involved in the d or c. now there's been a very strong tensions between burundi and rhonda, which is it's neighbor like a war of words between the 2 presidents for some time. now, but the burning government is also sense of thousands of troops to the eastern condo to fight alongside the kong lease troops. and what we've seen in recent weeks is really a war between. busy honda and brandy, uncommonly soil with hundreds of troops on either side. stikes already is a regional conflagration between those 2 countries. you've gotten this plant very strange role. on the one hand, it has the trips in the congo, collaborating with the gong these government against you got in trouble groups. let's further to the north of the m 23 rebellion. but other hand,

according to you and investigators, they've been in complicity with the m 20 through values as well. and so they're playing both sides here. and it's not entirely clear what the end goal is. all of these countries have immense interest in the eastern d. r. c, political security, but also economic interests, and they're all trying to guarantee their interest by deploying troops into the eastern con. where do you see this? um going, you told us that the m 23 state of goal is to take the government and control. so i will be companies on a be able to take back goma and others heresy. that's been taken by these rebels and at what cost would that com? i think everything's in the has now really of international reaction, which is a sad reality. the common least government should be able to defend its own territory. i think it's not if they're wanting government and m 23, e once to keep pushing, they will, and my minds are most likely are likely to take more kabul, which is a town of a 1000000 people immediately to the south of goma. and they can push on,

i'm not sure to make it all the way to contrast it, but i'm not sure their goal is to make it to contrast. i think their goal maybe to provoke a crisis that could then top of not only the government in contrast, but also the government and brenda as well. so i think this is really has the makings of the original crisis and everything really is in the hands of the international community. the rwanda is a very, a dependent country around 20 to 30 percent of its budget comes from international aid to even more so than that. it's very dependent upon its reputation, its international reputation. we call it brand rolanda. you have of teams from by him unit to p. s g to arsenal, all wearing visit rhonda, under sleeves. you have a formula, one race that they are bidding to host. in rwanda, you have vast amount of tourism that comes every year to rolanda and all of that really is on the line. so i think that it really behooves international community to acts as quickly as possible to make sure this doesn't become a much worse crisis. and maybe just focus through the minerals and the money that's

at stake here. we know that one does become an increasing the big pay and in the exports of minerals. we know that the european union, for example, a bureau clip could perhaps exercise them as it's an average of a kick. ali has been sort of unwilling to do so as you're pointing out, just told us about this dynamic of these, these critical and ran minerals that are in this region and, and that'll be in forsyth. yeah, so the main monroe at stake here the the big money burner is gold. so i rhonda exported $1100000000.00 worth of minerals last year or 2023 actually around 80 percent of that was golds. the rest is a mixture of 10 to them and 10 nearby them. and most of this, it's hard to put a finger to it, but most of all of that comes from the eastern congress. now this is not too

different than you've gone to and brandy to other neighboring countries. and so all the countries in the region are actually making a lot of money off companies, uh, companies, minerals. and so i think that is a, it's a, it's a key part of the conflict. i would hesitate to reduce it to minerals, though the conflicts initially was not created by minerals. it wasn't re triggered by minerals. this is a matter of geo political compensation between states and the region for control over the eastern congress, while countries of the region fighting for control of this part of the country. if it's not the monroe, it's a, it's, it, is, it is, i mean, it's also minerals. it's, it's not, it's, but it's, it's broader than just minerals because you can make print videos and piece time as well. in fact, we're one, it has done so before the m. 23 guys is wrapped in. rwanda was in relatively good relations with the eastern congo, and i think that would many would help with that, they'd be able to grow the pie, be able to make more money prosper. have everybody prosper in peace, it's. it's just the concept. the economies benefit certain people that who would

not benefit it if the region was at peace. so what is it about an eastern congo? it's about control this. this initial conflict was triggered in fact, by you gunned and deployments army deployments just to the north of this area and there are on, in government was afraid you guys would use their deployments in the congo to destabilize rwanda. that's how most people believe this conflict started. so it's really about countries, you know, fighting for rolling and the eastern congo on kong. we soil for political security and economic interest. all right, that is the experts taste of students. we appreciate your inside and coming on to this program. jason, thanks very much. thank you. can use the national commission on human rights, has issued a stock warning of escalating police abuses in the country. rights groups say at least 118 civilians were reported killed by kenyan police in 2023 alone.

and as all corresponding either to money. now reports from nairobi, ordinary citizens, while being forced to be the last things cause of the security system that appears to have turned against those. it is meant to protect coming to the bottom of say from the key to of ne, rubies mcclure was from a group of friends practice. they came in a church recreation. whole husband had to come to play right now. he was shot in the leg by police lest of tuba. why? that's a national celebration. when i was on the move, i was shocked. why that my leg was, you know, like when i was making the next move so it will keep the white on. yeah. so by the time i was going to step down, i couldn't feeling my leg, it was too heavy. and even my thoughts calling, you know, like touch the guy. so i was in shock. i was in pain. and at the same time,

i was trying to figure it out. is my leg gone? ah, ah, but how stupid? quoted this video shortly after he was shot in his friends didn't realize his leg was chatted to, bro. doctor's level 3 to 3 times and for how to use concerns, you may never fully recover or receive justice. what is justice? because if justice or the thought of me right many to means that my limber will behave completely. what comes on top of the subject to your role grew up in this slum and he's wheezing. his 3 children here as a community activities. he's had multiple run news with the police and he's not alone. nearby community justice center, local share, similar experiences over the weekend and we would rather live with this. so then we know then the police, we don't know any deal. yeah. and do you own or did so that means you all agree.

data supports their concerns. a report published by a consortium of civil society groups showed a 118 people in kind of died at the hands of police in 2023 alone. yet only 5 offices, well arrested. a staggering 96 percent of implicated offices remain untouched and continue working freely. monitoring the police service is a jump on the oversight body. i pull, but it has just 67 investigative offices and can only make recommendations, not launch prosecutions. i asked emmanuel, i got to overseas, i pause investigations if it has failed. as far as north side, east london. currently we have an outage of $256.00 cases. about ongoing default. you're talking about cases only going to the court. that is no. the only avenue where is this kind of beauty. so the many, many ways those ways include mediation between families and offices by traditional

and religious leaders. they have no legal bearing. missed international event. go how to use that. the police culture has not separate reset itself from its dock history. the police service was established to protect the rights and the entitlements of white settlers against a black population that where, you know, the rightful owners of, of can you, i think as the years i've gone on, the struggle for a just and the human rights based police service has not really been able to move beyond those people who have the privilege and power and those that don't. activists and community members continue to push for accountability. they hold regular vigils and memory of those killed by the police, trying to keep the issue in the public eye. in makoto, the group to pass for a tournament in march, perhaps he hopes he'll be ready enough to play. when i ask him about his future, he says he wants a bed to kenya that this would make his injury worth while. and for more on this,

i'm joined by 101 jerry. she's a human rights activist in kenya. and she's had a personal experience with police for tennessee who elder brother was killed while in the custody of police. so welcome to these opportunities advocates good to have you on the program as i was just saying, you will be further. dennison was killed by police in 2007, and his death is actually part of the reason you're engaged in activism today. could you tell us a little bit about what happened to your brother? yes, and thank you so much for having me. my brother, them assume your own goal with the one of the greatest, but now we have, you know, community. so during the $2.00, 02728. the lesson planner in kenner. and i think he was running away from, believe the tension you can. and that's exactly what happened, but when the goods, he's supposed to be in the much a. he has the shots from the head and it came out. it was the

yeah, yeah, i was like spike, i'm sorry, didn't bothering that. but then they said the notification that it wasn't the key i think is why i'm dining for the last night. just one of maybe if you for the email that it has most, some would need to be clean. it was the normalization business that you should see, the books and me and the name of michael read into this. but again, extra condition execution. it was too much right to be silent if need be. you said it has to end. and is it your, your experience from, from working on, on the ground, that poor people tend to be more of hon. 2 police per tennessee. you have written in the past that police with criminalizing the quote. well though, at that time you're referencing a specific police unit or the station,

but what 10 that sent them to be generalized? yes, yes, of course it can be generalized. they the lots of penalize ations to send me to me and a lot of vision of poor people. oh, they you especially in plenty of bubble because then no, but you need to to just get so lucky. so the addition of that use, uh it gets into the tv. so the premium and lives in the junior thank you, action the criminals. and then the b i listed, you know, close really there's nothing to, there's no cost. and this is why it's so many use why to test do on the against the finances when cadence along the street because they use the findings in terms of the kitchen. they have so many of us have gone to school. so many of us have graduated. i guess we need to pull the tea being criminalizing the car by that for me pulling the feels like home. so that led to their pricing and they,

for most that was meant to be under the fact that despite against the addition of these games, we have tests. so many people in the much less if you look beyond the be before these causes, the social justice moments have says their mailboxes right against them and they, they should all day. so you're just sending the keys. you're making the point about normalization, but another sort of common thread in the story is police in tennessee. how would you like to see this being addressed by the government? i think so you think you need to be addressed by showing that they've been employed? so that's what they just the, the key for the immediate victims of the successes antenna. i also think we need to, however you to get somebody from price, for example, the my dice to just the sense of the logical justice natural to be getting they to

get that 20 times i've been finding in climate change mitigation to bring new public space. if the governments of what they have been doing several activities, they don't need to create a nifty environment for next business days. so we're guessing i some situations that enable in community to try. i think we would move in the actual directory. all right, thanks very much. uh, we appreciate you sharing your personal story and your insights with us. that is being human rights activism. can you when you, when you're thank you. thank you patty. what stay in kenya full on next story because young people with limited work opportunities are increasing the training to social media content creation as a means to generate income. now, with over 22000000 users, kenya ranks. i'm on africa's top 10 most social media savvy nations.
