we are going to live from the russian capital on marina josh welcome to the program . well skyrocketing violence in the central african republic has forced international medical group doctors without borders to almost hold its aid in the country's largest refugee camp fighting in the republic has been on the rise since the start of the year with doctors themselves now under threat the u.i. and it is now also ringing the alarm of a humanitarian catastrophe as more than half a million people are facing starvation while disease is rampant in the crowded camps and even though france has deployed a military contingent they have so far failed to bring peace to the country as are now reports. less than a year after french moods marched into mali france again is fighting in another of its former colonies in africa. and i suggest you also the situation in the

central african republic is alarming if not frankly the. paris received a green light from the un security council to use military force to restore order after the deadly ethnic runs in the country escalated. i have decided to act immediately or more precisely this very evening eight hundred french soldiers were assigned to the violence torn country to join the six hundred already deployed there a force that france has no the most of them to save human lives and months later and lives are still being lost on all sides. france's sixteen hundred strong force appeared and mabel to put an end to ethnic tensions dating back to the central african republic independence in one thousand nine hundred sixty fourth france a former monopoly is responsible for helping to create in africa a number of totally artificial states like ca are and now they jump in with this

radical and terrorist groups that are now decentralized and developed in the belt from the mercian timi a coast to somalia. and french troops deter these dangerous forces and also prevent pirates and drug traffickers from uniting. but would both critics and advocates of the french military operation in the central african republic equally agree on is that no matter what the intentions are behind france's authority's decision to get involved it's the french people footing the bill that was. the operation only became needed as there was a failure of diplomacy and politics in the c.a.r. a failure of the un the african union economic community of central african states and the you but who pays for this pricey campaign french taxpayers surveys show less than half of the french population support their country's latest

with chinese. oil companies i've done time friends they didn't react and it is very important to do want to serve chinese economy is a growing economy and it's. an economy more active in africa. all the western economies and i think that's one of the basic reasons of conflicts in africa now it's to completion between western powers and china. and a story now that artie's following very closely in a five four alliance on the three month old baby girl injured in the recent terror attacks in the russian city of all the grad doctors say her condition remains critical but stable spawn margaret how has the details. i am here at this children's hospital where baby vivica was brought and she is currently fighting for her life behind me now doctors did give up
