10:50 pm
is a simulation of a typical liberation of a village by the soldiers. now they've approached from 3 directions. one has approached to detract attention. another one is coming in quietly and another one is engaged in the actual fighting with the rebels. the rebels themselves had now been killed in a she town, a scenario that has happened across the whole country. right now they celebrating victory for re taking a nother village, which is in fact, what's been happening. tens of towns and hundreds upon hundreds of villages have been re captured in this way. to the extent that 80 percent of the central african republic is now back in the hands of the army and the government. oh good with. 2 this is the anti gang
10:51 pm
police, they patrol and maintain control in the various neighborhoods of the city of bungie . as you can see, the faces are covered. it's important for them to be anonymous because the areas that they're checking are the neighborhoods from where they come. then looking for gold weapons that are being smuggled drags any kind of stolen goods. and really they are keeping a tight lid, making sure that the city is functioning and safe people to oh, there's a security, i think that the russian instructors helped us a lot to know operational, tactical training of the aggressive, big recall. we have conducted many exercises with russian instructors of it. first weapons briefing, list we possibly choose, but we also learned how to break into a building to save people, really cradles and your group. we also conducted drills on the lamentation of
10:52 pm
operations, how the police can establish order, or how to take control of the situation in order to support the population in a difficult moment. and the of the newer or clue did popular so poorly suited me of it. on them were more as if you see, i met law, a sick who they are. the city is safe and our dog there is peace. the city is calm, hardly working. so there are only small bended groups that rate and we tirelessly pursue of them are going to walk us through the to wanted to follow. but while the locals are grateful, the european union and the world bank has suspended further funding until they have guarantees from the government that the money is not being used for. to quote ration mercenaries. the russian ambassador to car vehemently denies this. we don't have merchandise, we have gone just a team of instructors. ah, who so prison in this country,
10:53 pm
following the mom interoperable agreement on the fence between russia and central africa and our assistance center africa has no commercial meaning a portion of the commercial project. some expos believe it's rather in political, political, political, community project, which is a much closer to reality. the president of the country made an appeal to the community. and unfortunately, the mist ignored in the midst of the capital cities in the world on the russia reacted positive positive we in even lead the same of the same. the 1st group of fresh start us 100 people in later the were supported by in the team. and in mid january, shortly after russian aircraft landed into long international airport. rushing instructor deployed the forces and started helping the the 1st dish. the assistance
10:54 pm
covered also and wide range of military duties from technical support. operational planning. in partly we can say procurement and intelligence data management. russia has also succeeded in partially lifting the sanctions and alms embargo imposed on the country by the un security council. western countries argue that this will help solve the conflict on the ground. but the irony is that they doing the opposite isn't schellenberg as well as that. those 2, initially the embargo was supposed to block the weapon supplies to be groups that used to operate in the central african republic. i'm going to school again. but now we know that most of the group is where destroyed was and the situation has changed . the government of the central african republic perfectly capable of controlling the weapons in the army. and therefore the embargo accepted purposes peace promotion mechanism and is no longer needed. the arms embargoed imposing limitations on the government,
10:55 pm
preventing it from effectively equipping the national army. at the same time, terrorist and mercenaries continued to get weapons through their legal channels. this situation may benefit certain western countries because it opens the door to destabilizing security and cargo through supplying bandits with weapons of. there are countries and organizations operating globally that do not benefit from peace and the central african republic. and it says like, frankly speaking, we see how different organizations sending in soldiers to the country, profit from the situation where they carry out business projects, which are only possible in a weakened unstable country club. this means they profit from a weak central african republic before we could not install a woocommerce, the growing russia carver lation ship has been closely monitored by other former french colonies in africa. like many people in the central african republic, these populations also disillusioned with france and is growing anti french sentiment and demonstrations happening simultaneously across the continent. we don't have going on history in africa whatsoever in central africa either. ah,
10:56 pm
i sing the colonial history. the relations between france and central africa have lots of dramatic moments. oh, of course it can make some influence on the meat of people and authorities and even businesses and into as far as i know from media even nowadays, they have some ah, debates on visit issues and so on. it's minor things, but not exactly. ah, russia is always open for her friendly relations. mutually beneficial relations. oh, but in guess in senator africa, it's very special case because it's, it's our vehicles where we are for us. france gave the independence, but it's russia who is closer to car with its crisis. the contribution of russia is higher than the contribution of fried. so duncan said blue. so the russians have
10:57 pm
come. if they did not come, i don't know how we, the central africans would be alive today. again, it's because of the russians. i can't say anything like this about frog was defensive. about the russians are waking the antea for games of making a muddle. no matter if people say russia is here to make problems. no, it's a lie filled up by the russians are wicking hot night and day. when we see this with our own eyes, the help and the center african military men. have i do? what will it be different africa? well, that brings us to the end of this week, so we hope you enjoyed it and will join us again next week. feel free to contact us with any suggestions of what you'd like to see here on africa now, where we question more and explore the stories behind the stories in africa. i'm policy, lia, and for myself and the rest of the team. good bye. ah, ah,
10:58 pm
no one else should seem wrong when old rules just don't move. i mean you have to figure out disdain becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds of horn, we choose to look for common ground. ah
10:59 pm
mobile is the best of both. no issue, but for the mobile one, annual g d p per capita is about $4000.00 euros. a was a kid for printers where you find them on the line to come out. so you need to let go of thought they would have thought of unemployment is off the charts, moldova territorial integrity and sovereignty. we respect a country which enjoys financial support from the u. s. and the you is constantly
