this is a zone in nigeria which has had a history of conflict. the thing is it's not the only zone where there's conflict in nigeria so it's happening at the same time that you have the insurgency in the delta which is reaching a peak. you had an amnesty program which may or may not be successful. you have it at the same time there's a power struggle at the center. recently also there was another uprising among islamic sects in the north. so you've got several different kinds of conflicts that are beginning to come together and evidence themselves in nigeria. >> ifill: the u.n. commissioner for human rights, human high commissioner said today or yesterday, this is something the government should be stepping in and fixing. they should see this coming precisely because of it. is that even possible? >> i think that is partly why the acting president decided to fire the national security advisor and install someone else. it seems this was something that showed up... that should have been predicted. at least the security forces should have been prepar

>> zimbabwe, nigeria especially zimbabwe. >> reporter: you will hear the same story everywhere you you go. they are taking our jocks. and in south africa, it is a very big deal. this is a country of about 50 million people. official estimates put the unemployment rate at about 30%. but everyone knows it's really closer to 45%. add just over 5 million foreigners, many here illegally to the equation, all trying to make a living, too, and you've got a recipe for resentment and conflict. >> we are people who live in very poor neighborhoods who are competing for resources and in situations like that, it's easy to scapegoat the foreigner, the stranger, the other. and that's precisely what happened. >> reporter: immigrants are prepared to work for less money. in many cases, they will get the job over a south african. shepard, a teacher from zimbabwe, has seen it happen before. >> to some extent it is true because mostly foreigners, they are hard working. and, also, on the side of education, like most zimbabweans they're educated. so when it comes to preference zimbabweans take the post. >> re

in this case that the terrorist's father, not just his father but a respected business leader in nigeria was not considered a credible enough source for his information to have put his son on the watch list without corroborating evidence. so i hope to hear from our witnesses today how the watch listing process has been modified to ensure that this kind of error will not be made again. another watch listing problem i think concerns the screeng of individuals on the watch list who are not u.s. citizens or permanent residents. we are historically one of the most welcoming countries in the world to visitors. to immigrants, legal immigrants. but travel to the united states is a privilege, not a right. in my opinion, if the government concludes that there's any reason to believe that someone may have ties to terrorist activities, that person should be required to undergo secondary physical screening at least before being allowed to board a plane bound for the united states of america. being allowed to board a and, finally, we need to dramatically increase our ability to pre-screen passengers d

. >> reporter: but this was just last year.ed at icans from zimbabwe, nigeria, somalia and elsewhere who had come to south africa hoping to find a better life. it was called xenophobic violence. fear of the foreigner. foreigners had their businesses destroyed. houses were torched. they were killed with guns and machetes. some were even set on fire. burned alive. the death of one man, a mozambiquan, shook the nation and shocked the world. within two weeks, the violence had spread across the country. it took a massive deployment of security forces to bring things under control. by the time it was over, 100 people were dead. an estimated 200,000 people were displaced. some took cover in police stations. others found refuge in isolated camps, the kind of refugee camps you'd normally find in war-torn somalia, sudan or the congo. it started, we are told, in alexandra, a sprawling black township on the edge of johannesburg. >> the men came from this side. he was running, bleeding from that side in there. went over here and then he lost balance over here and then he died over here. >> report

security was tight across central nigeria today after a new wave of muslim-christian violence.as many as 500 people were killed near the city of jos. we have a report narrated by lindsey hilsum of independent television news. a warning: some of the images may be disturbing. >> reporter: greece and fear. after attacks which left several hundred dead. eyewitnesses say the victims are mainly christians, attacks by muslim men. they allegedly shot in the air to frighten people out of their homes. and then killed them with machetes. the massacre was allegedly in retaliation for the killings of muslims in january. but the violence is also a conflict between those who have always lived here and those who ancestors came from elsewhere in nigeria. the acting president sent in more troops but africa's biggest country is going into crisis with no strong central government to take control. last month the president's plane touched down in the nigerian capital without warning in the dead of night. after a three-month stay in hospital in saudi arabia. he was whisked away by ambulance, and that

very simple to take in nigeria and jeni-- not that that has any effect or could the question i would really ask, has anybody really seen a realization either in the bush or the obama administration that maybe we have to talk a little bit quieter and we don't have the same shtick we used to have been so on in terms of the fact that we have less power in the world then we may have had even during the russian. not that certainly immediately after the russian downfall? thank you very much. >> he is still to a figure in active politics as far as i know. and, i will answer, i will give my answer to the second question and then i guess we can go down the line or whoever else wants to take on the question. yeah, it does not, i don't know how you measure the u.s. declined. i certainly don't see it like that. i don't think that a lot of people in the region see it like that, that the u.s. is a declining power. i think people believe the u.s., as i do, has certain responsibilities. again the united states has been the strong horse only intermittently challenged in that region over some 60 plus

you know, when you go to a country like nigeria, whose social indicators are falling despite the oilhealth and the corruption is so endemic that the people are just encouraged and turned off by their own country's efforts, it's so distressing because think of what could be done properly managed. so we're doing several things. we are working very hard in support of anticorruption initiatives internationally. the u.n. has some efforts underway. we want this to be a topic in other multilateral fora including the osce where i think it could be quite important. we're also pushing the extractive transparency initiative because we agree with you that this mineral wealth should be protected as much as possible so that the revenues flowing from it are for the benefit of the people. and we look forward to working with you and others on how we enhance the tools that we have on the extractive industries transparency initiative. i think we have to think outside the box so to speak. how do we get more accountability? we have to have more conditions-based aid. you know, i know a lot of people see a
