a legal advisor at the wrong one and bad center for human rights, which i assume is also from da 4 and survive the genocide the 2 decades ago. he joins us now from washington. d. c. thanks for joining us on the program, which i assume now are you able to get a sense of the current situation in your hometown l fast you? i thanks very much for the opportunity and i think um the situation and the devices with it. cuz as traffic we have been sounding, the alarm says lives here that uh when the rest of varieties started this evening. the city from all the parts from northern part of the city, from the southern part of the city. i'm from the eastern part of the city and so now it is actually literally the are a save. and of course the sort of nissan forces and, and other arm groups aligning with the sort of nissan for us, really in, in, in a serious fight. another 5 sure. the already hundreds of people have been injured

and killed in another question the last 2 days. and therefore the situation is really the best off they got. it requires an immediate attention from the international community, right. what would the restrictions on access? how did you gather that information that in your case and you know, evidence for your reports? well, i mean, no federal report being relied heavily on options source information that has already being got there by other, um, investigative journalist and other organizations organizations. but with respect to the ongoing comments, like, i think despite the blackout and the internet blackout, i think there was still a bit of communication between um you know, uh we can reach out to some of their wizard. is that also faster? uh, so they continue to report in terms of the incidents and, and how many people have been killed and attacked and the like. and so basically

we're able to access a bit of information really, we cannot get into what is happening at this moment in time. right? and do you see any similarities between what's going on now and what you fled back in 2003 slots? literally yes, i mean, as we indicated clearly and i'll report most of you out for us, it is a we see today committed by, by the office of both forces. this is a new brand of the magenta. we it right. and as so basically the crimes are committed by the same perpetrators. and i guess same victims cause we have the messiah didn't, was doubtful. we have 4 as ago in other parts of the 4. and so we will, is the exact same pattern again, of the crimes and the way the hours of so, you know, it'll be seized, the cd, the way that the crime is that or prep or treated using wave us a webinar for,

you know, uh the, you know, creating conditions calculated to bring about with the destruction of the, you know, they, they, they protected gross here was speaking for is a, go on, must have a particular right now the numbers from the ones that on a staggering 14000 people killed at least, uh, 8, medium displaced, 25000000 needing as an aid. how would you describe the way the rest of the world has responded to this? uh, yeah, i mean, i, i said, uh, said it before. uh, and then i think the, the way the international committed and of course the applicants stays the community and re respond to the trust that its in delford is. would it this graceful? there is no way the other way to describe this. right. and we see people being slaughter, we know the perpetrators. we know that enables us way. countries, some of them i actually even asked going to states. and yet there is nothing from

the side of the international community to harper, to write a set down. the simplest thing to do is to cut off perpetrators from the financial flow that allows for, for, you know, for us to act as a continued. and yet we do not see anything from the international community that is done so far. to present this uh, you know, this concert, i think this is april venerable genocide. this is not only my words, but by uh, you know, the words of other experts include informing you in a fee issue. so i have, this is a preventive budget, as i've even to eligible side of to thousands were, was preventable. and yet again we, i'm a speaking of interesting community at deliberately reviews the, you know, to have to respond to this. and so i think it is within that and ignore genocide. it is an abundant genocide. what testing i need from the rhode island bag center and for human rights. thank you for speaking to us as thank you very much

appreciated. the advocates major cities are growing at an unprecedented rate by the end of the century. it's estimated the team out of the wells, 20 largest metrology metropolises will be in africa. but one of the major challenges is how they can cates up for people from all economic brackets as an ongoing eviction scandal and every coast economic hub, john shows development often comes at the expense of the poorest dw, see where to read reports from your football. one of the worst effective neighborhoods as this is with thousands of people used to live, go to school and run their businesses. but now this on the rebel over the last weeks and months, the government of ivory coast economic capital has stated the neighborhoods of over 50000 people. most of them overnight. this looks like the

optimize of a nice quick or hurricane children and families. so thanks for the rebel school benches turned off site down and personal belongings flying around every route. but it's not. this is the result of the government's initiative to develop and clean up . i'll be drawn essentially remove and tell you a neighborhood, but no longer for the image, the country, so you can only comp wants to put the tray. and you might be a key to use to live in a small house nearby with the 3 children. now they're out on the streets. it's the 2nd time she and her family have been forced to leave the home, the the going to think out before we came here, we were poor. but at least we had some dignity. now we've got absolutely nothing. we can't live like this, it was suffering and the west of all this that my children no longer go to school.

my oldest, she used to go to school here, to demolition and stuff next, thousands of children with all the classroom. one school alone to community 2000 kids. this was my school where i studied with my friends dw, spoke to nearly 2 dozen people in several neighborhoods. no one received any financial compensation. know where they give an alternative shelter. the government off i'd be, john did not reply to dw use requests for comments and previous statements. he set the clips on suppose the safety risk proof lots and lands slides, but people yeah, don't believe that's the true reason behind the displacements. so let's take a column that runs the local and geo that is fighting the evictions. he says the government's complaint is less about security and more about money. i'm thank you for that. as long as well. the government says the zones are a safety risk. they already have companies lined up. we want to invest that the for

the money did we talking about the humanitarian catastrophe here. that's all children are out of school, like this prostitution and banditry, who do not. so you see the government did a bad job and while you disagree with nick, uh, i must say something of a over the last 20 years of each one has more than doubled in size from 3 to over 6000000 people. and like many african cities that continues to grow, but instead of social housing projects, these neighborhoods will be replaced with with house commission areas and the water pock amenities and lima into children. when that we never get to enjoy it very. and we'll just wait to see if go to give us miracle. the government of a beautiful sense to feel a little 117 neighborhoods altogether for the cities poor as they may soon be nowhere left to go. you're watching the w news africa still to come. savannah,

savannah allays underway and african nations are slowly gaining a foothold if the o, p, a and benefits make the debut this year to advocate new come most to the time in aust extravaganza. and it might be fresh hold for millions of people affected by sickle cell disease in the us. a new commercially licensed gene therapy has been administered for the 1st time to a patient. it could be a game changer in the fight against this disorder of unusually shaped red blood cells that can disrupt the victim's blood flow. this leads to severe health complications including chronic pain and organ damage, which can also be life threatening. of the genetic condition is found around the world, but mainly among people with west or central african backgrounds. according to the world health organization, 1000 children are born with the disease every day in africa. and the existing treatments can be read and expensive. but let's take a look at how one,

uganda and woman is living with the disease and sharing hope. when bob are on the below is a little go. a parents simply road to off diagnosed with sickle cell anemia. 2 months to them. it meant that child wouldn't be around for long enough to be was football the this to be. they used to do day to soon so i do, we do have a webcast. so for the day, you have a clue. a mother even referred to as half a daughter barbara say she was left hating herself to then to let you think we're going to them. yes. so they never thought of me as an important person, like someone who would grow up or is supposed to get an education on that tip. is that because they use, oh, my mother,

the people like me don't grow money and that we can't go to school, have children in the community. but now barbara's parents are proud of that daughter, because she's proving them wrong. she's married and has 3 children, assessable and a son is now 7, and the twin girls came last year age 37. barbara is still a regular patient of them and body regional hospital. and you can just remote east and highlands, but she's passing on her knowledge of how to live with sickle cell disease. a personal story of survival is often a 1st glimpse of hope for nearly diagnose children. and then worried parents. and she's also getting treatment. hydroxyurea reduces a number of balance of pain and the need for blood transfusions, all helping to overcome the stigma. we used to be saw frustrated, you know, you can't afford shows. they may re select 12 yards and they get so many

complications on even you used to wishing on seeing these, these chains. so because of that trauma hydroxyurea as well, which indeed like it improves on the watch on the quality of life of these patients . eugene therapies of a problem is when was approved in the us last year. yet, despite the hope now also enough to trigger despair for a single patient cost of treatment, the cost runs into millions of dollars. joining us now is i'll be i need not do a professor. ok, mythology and blood transfusion and the director of the center for sickle cell disease research and training at the university off of boucher good to have you on the program. profess now looking at the emergence of new treatments for sickle cell disease, surely this, these developments must inspire hope,

considering how long the disease has posed a threat. yes, definitely made key. many people laugh quite excited. you know, just seeking that said death can be to achieve a 3 main for sickle cell disease, of course. so if i do these like born my root transplantation, you know, for some time, but these treatments are not available to the major receive of people. so it's hold on one site that day. so possibility. and then a lot of, uh, uh, you know, just bear, you know, from high budgeting countries because even the evidence based interventions that have been available for some time is not available to major retail for people. we know interventions such as do by screening at the, you know, at pro flax's for infection high drugs that you react truth means basically is that patient education. these are not ca available to major retail people so days full

or one site even though, but it's like most shots a week before. feel, oh, when am i going to be able to even dream? you know, we does have t uh, price tags of 05, they're accessing the visa into visuals like gene therapy, i need the bone marrow transplantation. one of the challenges you mentioned earlier was that of the cost when he comes to the treatment, but i'm assuming research as well. so what are the practical considerations for implementing these new therapies in a place like nigeria are so they go by gene, it directly initiative has actually been across the dream, these over the english, the safety 19. this is a network of people who could send that to these to rep is when they become ivory level may not become available to the people with the right high research people. so they've not been able to walk, walk out very carefully,

what's what the buy realize, what is it that is driving the cost and most of feeds has to do with manufacturing in they centralize the facility that the gene directly products. and we've been able to find that, that way you manufacture close to the taste of k drive down to cost. so this has happened, this has been carefully walked side by different prices. and the, the tri outside has been the very low present college. you know, you know, in india and at a very low cost of medical college in india and they've been able to do card to, to arrive fee on that $55000.00, which is the fact right. you do from the very high in the, in the media owns and what has been done. you know, it's, uh, can also be rectory case. i do you guys uh, uh, is also doing what canals uh, the possibility of doing the try

a clinical trial. so clinical trial couldn't be one way of, of getting to bring it down because what pissed off k no manufacture. i mean, did you put drugs at the base of kit is one way you know to drive down, because an at fault is going on in that direction. is that kind of global consensus? a way that the world can, can address this collectively to make sure that there is a, you know, make sure that there's a more accessible treatments to, to the people who need it. as the, the visual has established has been able to develop a film walk for a treatment of st as, as states as well. it makes it less, you know, that was we cannot just say ok, go all the way to gene therapy when the everyday experiences have insurance, we were things like education is lost in place. the majority of the business to it . yes, we can aspire to do gene therapy, but what we know now works now should be available. you know,

2 major retail people buy for recess, high drugs, and you wrap a blood transmission. all of these things and then just education of people because you know, people can't do well. patients can do well if they know well up to my hydration, you know, do you every does reason to have vision and the has and you know, the health care work as know how to give that is any type of insurance. so we start, you know, from what is available now, and then we walk towards those a q rates, if there are fees in the future. okay, professor back any not of the head of the university of which is a center for sickle cell disease research and training. thank you very much for your insights. yeah, you're welcome to italy. now where this is edition of venice is international, odd festival or be an ally, kicked off with the theme following is everywhere is an exploration of colonialism
