in south sudan is not like here. you spent time talking to people and get public opinion south sudanese are very different. the refugees. [inaudible] there are things that need to be there. some went to kenya and other places. those people are still there today. they don't want to come to back to their villages. they don't want to come back simply because they are telling them not to go back or they won't qualify for the benefits. coming here and seeing that the governmen government of sudan is making it impossible for people to go out of their villages. where my family members in that camp, well it happened, what can you do. but they know that because it says you cannot be an idp in your own district. [inaudible] with the governance as mentione mentioned. [inaudible] because they disagree they think everyone disagrees. they believe that all the tribes are united they assume that they are together. this is one of the reasons i say south sudan is more complicated than we think. [inaudible] i lived there for three years

is it justified in south sudan today?did careful analysis of the situation in south sudan and declared one particular area, a number of counties, in a famine zone. they believe 100,000 people in the area were likely to die unless there was an enormous amount of food put into the area. that has happened to some degree and the numbers have come down from 100,000 down to about 80,000. but around the rest of sudan, that has risen. particular in now, with the onset of the rainy season. between now, when they plant, and when they harvest their food, there is a very, very big and worrying gap. let's get back to the point that it is a man—made disaster. you sit there in the capital, responsible for the un mission. there, you are supposed to be there protecting the people of south sudan. and you cannot, because you are only able to address the symptoms, not the cause of south sudan's problem. and the cause is total political dysfunction. and that is beyond your ability to fix. i have to say that what we do do in south sudan, and i

the issue of south sudan, as mentioned, south sudan is very complicated. it's a very complicated country. -- other countries in the like the u.s. one doesn't know until once you get to something else. south sudan was such a complicated country, i didn't now, until i was here. two things. he country itself -- the n.g.o. role, as mentioned. south sudan, like in other african countries, did not get independence from european colonies. it got its independence from a eighboring country and that is sudan. sudan has a deep-seated interest. it took 50 years. the interest of sudan that south sudan left is toikma sure that south sudan become a state. it was one of the reasons why, there are more than 60 tribes in that nation. each of the tribes have their own interests. in how the country should be run. it's something i didn't know. some of my friends in south sudan -- it's one of the reasons why the country is like the way it is today. i am not going to dwell on it very much. we could go on and on and on and on. i was a lecture you are at the at a town for my tribe

. —— south sudan.esents a tragic failure on the part of the rulers of africa's newest country, and on the part of the united nations mission in south sudan which has brought neither peace or anything else. i ask david shearer what hope there is for the people of south sudan. david shearer, welcome to hardtalk thank you. do you think the world is paying heed to the agonies and suffering of the people of south sudan? i think increasingly so, suffering of the people of south sudan? ithink increasingly so, but there is a competition, of italy, for airtime there is a competition, of italy, forairtime in there is a competition, of italy, for airtime in terms of disasters around the world. south sudan sometimes, despite the enormous amount of tragedy, sometimes falls off the stage. right now, there are more than half the population of south sudan in need of food aid. one third of the country is displaced, either in other countries or internally displaced. and the conflict continues on. and this is not a disas

we end today's show by looking at south sudan, where the united nations warns an ethnic cleansing campaignried out by the south sudanese government is threatening to empty the country. the united nations has accused soldiers with the government's sudan people's liberation army, known as the spla, of killing, torturing, and raping civilians, as well as burning down homes and villages. the violence has caused one of the biggest refugee crises in africa. more than 1.7 million south sudanese civilians have already fled to neighboring countries since the civil war erupted in 2013. this is a south sudanese refugee named maria lalum speaking from a refugee camp in uganda. >> i crossed into uganda at the beginning of this year when government soldier started attacking us. we just heard gunshots and took to the forest for safety. my children and grandchildren scattered off in different directions and we were reunited just recently in this camp. amy: south sudan is the world's youngest country. the united states backed south sudan's independence in 2011 and the country's president, salva kiir, whose

when will the people of south sudan enjoy peace and freedom at last and is emmanueljal himself free from of being a child soldier? audience, please welcome emmanueljal to hardtalk. emmanueljal, sudan as it was then at warforfive decades, nearly 2 million people died from starvation or disease. you yourself in your young life really only knew conflict. i was born in violence so peace was robbed from my childhood. in the beginning. you were not only robbed from peace, you were robbed of your mother, who died in the conflict. all my aunties died during the war, my mum too. also all my uncles as well, except for two. and that is what i saw what war did, it robs people's souls. you are interesting because your father is from the nuer tribe and your mother was a dinka. tell us the circumstances of the death of your mother. i know it was a very sad occasion, you were about six or seven. what actually happened, there were several village raids so we were running from one place to another. because my mother was pregnant, i thought maybe she got shot. recently my grandmother told me she died of ex

people in south sudan are saving each other.u go now to any village, if there is no army, nobody would be touched. there is a lot of evidence of killing at communal levels on the basis of ethnicity. you have a charity that means "strength" in arabic, scholarships for children and trying to make sure that they have an education that you feel that you never had. why are you doing that? i was given a chance to go to school, education opens your mind and makes you understand things differently. when i was educated i was able to equip myself and see the world in a different way. otherwise i would have been locked in my own world. because of education i am able to open my ears. my ears are open. i read and i get to learn. thank you for coming on hardtalk. most of us saw sunshine yesterday. today it will be hard to come by. it will be cloudy for most. the cloud is thick enough to bring rain for some of us. the relatively clear weather working out of the north sea replaced by the lump of cloud. the low spinning around there sending sout

the head of the united nations says the conflict in south sudan is a "terrible tragedy" which has left a refugee camp today in northern uganda, where many south sudanese have fled. he said the response from the ugandans is a "remarkable example" to other nations, but as our correspondent catherine byaru hanga reports from uganda, the crisis is placing a big strain on the country's resources. it's the end of a painful and often terrifying journey for the people here. most have walked for weeks through the bush, with barely any food or water. they're ferried on buses from the border with south sudan to this refugee camp. children make up the majority of the refugees here, and some have made the dangerous trek alone, like 16—year—old peter, who's an orphan and fled the fighting in south sudan last month. translation: a man came at midnight. they shot my neighbour in the back and then started chopping him up. i started thinking i could be next, so i decided i had to leave and find a safer place. the numbers are staggering. imvepi camp was only opened in february and has taken in over 100,0

, live from the center of strategic and international studies, a discussion about the famine in south sudan9:30 a.m. eastern on c-span2.

the long—term solution is to stop the fighting in south sudan. so far, regional and world leaders have failed. catherine byaru hanga, bbc news, northern uganda. prince harry has questioned whether any member of the royal family wants to become king or queen. he said the royals were acting for the "greater good of the people". in an interview with the american magazine newsweek, the prince also criticises the decision for him to walk behind his mother's coffin at her funeral in 1997. our royal correspondent peter hunt has been studying the prince's comments. it's a moment seared on the nation's psyche, the funeral of a princess killed in her prime, her 12—year—old son on unforgiving display. 20 years on, prince harry is critical of those who put him there. and he's voiced his considerable discomfort in an american magazine — the enduring diana fascination is global. i think he has spent so much time hiding away from himself and his demons, but now he's faced them and to a large extent conquered them, he feels more confident to be optimistic, truth

i would appeal to you, karen bass and i just returned from south sudan and my second trip within the last nine months. went to refugee camps. one refugee camp one of the largest in the world in uganda, they are cutting food rations by 50% because it's not there. we did go to another camp which is an idp camp in unity state. frankly they had food and a lot of it was courtesy of the afghanistan government and thank you for that but we have to ensure that food does not diminish the need. we had a hearing for tomorrow scheduled for today on the fact that some 40 million africans are at risk of famine and the driver frankly is complex but they have to get the food aid. finally i will say this on the issue of conflict i believe and i think karen would agree with is that there's a window of opportunity with south sudan and the leadership to really put pressure on them to and the conflict. we have a new chief of staff for the military who seems to be saying all the right things. the previous one was a disaster and the interruption of convoys on their way to deliver foodstuffs and humanitaria

i had a very encouraging conversation yesterday about our shared concern about south sudan. it is very tricky country where there is a governance crisis. it has been gray shous and responsive. i look forward to partnering with her. it will keep engaging and keep trying with this administration particularly on foreign affairs. >> i think it's essential. they do not understand our approach to things and for instance, during the carter administration, when we were talking about the salt treaty and he had negotiated a lot of it. >> and back and forth on those kinds of things. that's the magic of our system. i do have to say i worked here but then i went into the carter white house to do congressional relations. if i could tell a funny story, which is true, and we'll go back to the law of the sea treaty, senator musky had me write a letter saying i really support the law of the sea, it's really important. we have problems with that. i need your help on this. i wrote the letter and put it on the auto pen and i went to my new job in the white house there is this letter i said i'm s

that stands in a stark contradiction to uganda and south sudan last year, a painful and pitiable senseng some of the poorest people in the world, they were saying we must go back until mr. trump that we have got a million refugees who are arriving and we really need america to sort out the civil war. what i sense around the administration is they have awed into an argument that america is a victim of economic and medical -- jeffrey: everyone is trying to game us. trying butjust everyone has an you no longer have the tools and the ability and the willingness to go out and sort other people's problems. that comes to me very strongly and this is slightly over the top that it is almost a sense of projecting national humiliation. those of us were not americans see thatve the country whatever the difficulties the country has been in, the idea that you have been humiliated by the rest of the world, which sees the u.s. and anchor of the global system, just feels out of kilter. is really strange because it is a must as if the president does not see himself as the head of the government or the u

some of the other emergencies around the world deservedly getting attention like somalia, south sudann. but what we have here in ethiopia is a very large number of people, over 8 million people, more than almost any other country, who are affected with very little resources because we're just not getting the attention. ethiopia has had help from donors and international aid groups but not enough and food aid is expected to run out across the country by the end ofjune. with a country facing multiple competing crises around the world, donor fatigue and now repeated failed rains, agencies are warning of the perfect storm. one in which millions of lives are now at stake. janey mitchell, bbc news. now on bbc news it's the travel show. this week on the travel show: we're in chile, exploring a town that was knocked down by nature, and how it splitting itself back together again. also coming up on this week's show: it looks incredible... we're dangling over new york in virtual reality. it's the superman experience. doo—doo—doo! and meeting the man who's attempting to bagpipe his way around th

the renewals we have done they are all willing to start to work to the ones that are difficult south sudan, congo. those are the ones are really concerning that you almost wonder how are we going to fix a? >> one of the areas that i know there has been a lot of conversation about is the human rights council and you have received a lot of criticism because they focus on a constant singling out of -- so when you countries like cuba and saudi arabia and other habitual violators of human rights i guess the first question would be how does that impact the credibility of the human rights council whose very members are serial violators of human rights? >> the united states has always cared about human rights and we don't see human rights is a fluff issue. .. >> >> why hasn't it been? visits with along with cuba in saudi arabia and china so what happened is now is a place where actors go to make sure they're not pointed at and a place they have no problem pointing at others like israel. we left them with something has to change either we can do we hear we're go fight for human rights somewhere els

kenya, uganda, rwanda, burundi, tanzania and south sudan had planned to ban these imports by 2019.his and it may affect trade benefits. but rwanda's president has reiterated that its necessary to "grow and establish our industries". this is made more complex still because more of the clothes come via donations. nancy kacungira is our business reporter. i asked her which countries were still planning on implementing this ban. at the moment rwanda has the strongest commitment and they have said they will go ahead the matter what's threats are made. kenny has backtracked on this and have pulled out completely and said they will not go ahead on the ban on second—hand clothes. uganda is yet to respond to the latest developments and so are other coaches. at the minute it isjust rwanda saying this. why are the american subsets? it's interesting. this was brought up by a group and they have said since the decision has been made they have seen 5000 jobs in the private sector lost. because of the higher taxes east african region and then they then they say they are soon 19,000 jobs at the no

the ones that are difficult, south sudan, congo, those are the ones that you almost wonder how are we going fix this. >> one of the areas i know there has been a lot of conversation is human rights council. so how does it impact the legitimacy of the human rights council whose very members are violators of human rights of their own people? >> the united states has always care about human rights. we see it that it generally is related to peace and security. if you go back in history and time you see that the worst conflicts all came from governments not taking care of their people. human rights has to be very important. the reason why i didn't just make a statement from new york is i really wanted to hit that home. i went and talked to the members and basically said look, the united states doesn't want to leave the human rights council but you have got to give us a reason to stay because with venezuela and that situation so much worse than what you see on tv i tried to call an emergency security council hearing on venezuela. my colleagues were not happy i was doing that and didn't thin
