these successful reconciliation have allowed tens of thousands of i.d.p.'s and refugees to go back home. and help improve the living conditions of a great number of syrians who had fallen victim to terrorist crimes and. syria is determined to scale up any consideration effort whenever possible because it is in the best means to alleviate the suffering of syrians and restore stability and normalcy. ladies and gentlemen. since day one. the syrian government has positively considered all initiatives and it will the war. however. this initiatives eventually fane after states that supported and if you will the terrorism the high didn't resist in their aggressive policies against syria and its people. as well the as it. tracks. government has shown seriousness and commitment and has done its best to provide the necessary conditions for these efforts to succeed and achieve their goals. we are encouraged by the as it done opposes now and that is i think deescalation zones. and hope that it will help us reach and transition of her still it is and separate terrorist

from thousands of rwanda how there's been bomb doll and one hundred sixty thousand really have become i.d.p.'s to military equipment attorney and crisis is growing and there is no food no shelter norma do you think. children are dying to have id and on top of that there is about thirty five thousand rohingya. trapped on the monti you know there are many children as value men and women are dying there so it's a horrific situation that we are witnessing you know his story you know what's happening right now against really good people is general slight it's a diary killings involve where bomb is military is continuing in ten days i don't know well you can see unturned the government they say that they're actually confronting terrorists what sure reaction to that. it's not true the government you know the government is just like. you know the government is simply . bonding and killing their own civilly ends you know those are those groups are far is just kind of some desperate you know they are they become unbearable situation and therefore they took a test i guess you know those police post bu

test of whether kurdistan is a safe place for minorities it's the place where the refugees and the i.d.p.'s all accumulate because they know that their they will be well treated their lives will be. and their rights will be protected unlike elsewhere in iraq it's in fact a shocking indictment of the federal government of iraq that there are so many refugees living inside kurdistan none of whom are supplied by the resources of the federal iraqi government so i don't recognise the picture that you're painting it's not consonant with my empirical experience on the ground i would like to ask you about the question of time because the referendum was announced and delayed on several occasions and i think it's clear that the kurdish authorities were sort of angling for the most opportune politically opportune moment what do you think made september of two thousand and seventeen such a moment well the original plan was to conduct the referendum in two thousand and fourteen and what delayed that was the advent of isis the decision to hold the referendum was because the campaign against isis had b

medical facilities they have been interned in i.d.p. camps and we have seen as the last few weeks. also been systematic burning of. villages almost making it impossible for them to come back as a result of it you know there has to be conditions of push that led to you know four hundred thousand people fleeing the country let me get a final thought from you james gomez i mean does an sang suit she's failing to speak just on the line how powerful the myanmar military actually remains i mean they still pull the political strings that they. absolutely if you speak to members of n l d or members of the civilian government you know they are always anxious about the military i mean there is a high level of self-censorship in terms of not just the rowing issues but political issues and democratic transition in general because they are monk that civilian court in government is really. the military therefore you know the it's important that we are noticing you know. general being on yeah and you know coming out of the shadows to actually start to collating widow across social media publicly

independence from some of those displaced by the fighting the polling station here one of a number of i.d.p. camps south of era bill in the disputed areas closed as predicted at six p.m. today six p.m. local we've been speaking to authorities in this camp they say that the turnout has been high around three thousand people voting in this camp alone it's understood there are around two million people that were able to vote in this controversial referendum in the disputed territories alone we've been speaking to people in this camp from a range of ethnic ethnic backgrounds it's been interesting speaking to some of the arabs here that were displaced in that fighting against i so very nervous about speaking on camera saying that they were distrustful of the shia led baghdad government and also not wholly confident in the k r g the kurdish government here as well they all said that they were going to vote yes for this referendum and they were thankful for the government for the kind of safety and security that the peshmerga the kurdish forces have offered them in the last few the last couple of

the reason why they were hidden have had this horrible existence over the last seven years and these i.d.p. camps that have been set up around sit way because they were treated as normal citizens of myanmar so how questions should be posed how can you repatriate them how can they prove that they are citizens of this country when many of them weren't given that opportunity there and yet. very significantly said that the government condemns all human rights violations of his to the rule of law that you said to me and the military has been urged to use restraint in carrying out its operations in rakhine state but i suppose the big question is what power does she have if any over the military. yeah you're right there's a distinct division within the government here and the military they still hold on to several very important ministries and they still control outside of. government that she runs they still control security measures here in the country so those operations were not under her control she didn't really have the authority she could voice her opinion most likely but she doesn't have

of health care is something again that comes up in the daily reports from n.g.o.s on conditions and i.d.p. camps. even if these conditions have not yet led to the mass death for him to members they may still meet the requirement of this element. the rakhine and bernie's have a very different view of conditions in the camps. as always i'll be mostly in. the fourth act that we analyze how one act of genocide is imposing measures and tended to prevent births within a grill people also talked about this act as biological genocide and we see this is directed in two ways against. one is pro have been on marriage and extreme restrictions around marriage is over ahead and the second is extreme restrictions on births and the rancher this is one of the areas of persecution of the ranches where the state has been even more explicit than usual about its intent and perpetuating isn't asher's the law clinic was confident that sufficient evidence existed of government involvement in for genocidal acts but there remains a large hurdle to cross. we should start by saying that intent is the most difficult

humanitarian assistance we also have six hundred thousand i.d.p.'s who need to be supported and assisted to help them move back to their homes or start being productive furthermore we have in my country five hundred thousand people who are refugees in neighboring countries and we need to do everything to make sure that they are brought back home the humanitarian crisis that we are going through is a factor which aggravates the complexity of our political situation and this is a peril that we need to overcome. distinguished ladies and gentlemen. in the upcoming days and months. i would like to share with you the areas of what we're doing within the mutual in gauge mental framework of peace and security what i will be doing is i will mobilize all of my energy to make sure that by the end of twenty seventeen. we have started establishing dialogue with the armed groups and struct implementing the national d.d.r. program the firmness of my commitment is without doubt. the less whilst we're having this dialogue and we all know that the state has to contin

going back to scorched earth what are they going to be returning to are they going to be returning to i.d.p. camps are they going to be returning to those villages so a lot of work needs to be done on that i think right now the for the most part to me and more people are are believing what the government is saying that the process will start there will be a process but we haven't seen really any kind of logistical moves that that process is going to start anytime soon scott had a live person young and thank you very much indeed. still ahead on al-jazeera. thousands rally in paris a day off to the french president signs his labor reforms into law. on thousands evacuated on the resort island of bali as rumblings sparked fears of a possible volcano eruption and in sports team europe paraded roger federer and rafael nadal on day two of them have a cup find out how they got along. from dusky sunsets if you spring savannah. to sunrise atop an asian metropolis. welcome back across much of southern china in taiwan the weather conditions are fairly quiet at the moment being see this massive cloud mo
