to rid the southern regions of the PLF,

who he accused of being financed

and supported by foreign institutions.

He also condemned

the Native Defense Force militias,

who he said presented a threat

to the very fabric of national security.

Sangania went on to promise

that the junta would accomplish

what the previous regime had failed to do.

Speculation on the collaboration between

the armed forces and the PLF rebels...

The NRC broke the agreement.

They've entered the buffer zone.

Now they want us to run away

and leave our town.

We cannot do that.

Never.

This land is ours.

Our ancestors have lived here,

taken care of it, and left it for us.

It's our duty to protect it...

and leave it for our children.

So we should send

the women and little children away...

under the protection of ECOMOD.

Where's Dike?

And we who call ourselves men

will stay and protect our town.

Who is going to take care of the property

we are leaving behind?

Dad, where's Dike?

They fled!

Let me go, it's my duty.

We will be crushed between

the rebels and the army! It is so bad!

We've already decided

what to do with the children.

They will go with you.

He is old. We can't take him anywhere.

You aren't listening to what I'm saying.

Go to your sister in the city, I'll meet

you once everything is okay here.

I can't abandon my responsibilities.

But you are!

Don't think like that.

You want me to be a refugee

in my own country?

With three small children and no husband?

We are a family.

We should stay together.

I'm not asking you, I'm telling you.

There are bigger issues to take care of...

It's your turn.

Dad's sending me away.

He's sending you because

you're a little baby.

Play the game.

Turn your light off.

Now turn it on and you'll feel better.

What kind of face is that?

Your face is like a monkey's butt.

Come on! Come on! Come on! Hurry up!

Hurry! I see one! Hurry!

Citizens of the republic,

living in the buffer zone.

Hurry!

The National Reformation Council

recommend non-combatants

to leave the buffer zone immediately...

This one's full. There's another here.

...as military operations

begin as planned.

Wait. Help me.

Is it heavy? Give it to me.

Agu, take it.

Please, move. Move!

Move back. Go back.

No space. No space.

Please, please, I am the Section Chief.

This is my family. There must be space.

No space.

This one woman

and this small-small children.

- And the little boy?

- Yes, him, too.

Where are you thinking

this woman and child would be fitted?

They're gonna be

sitting in the front with you.

No, no, no, no, no.

Seventy thousand, no boy.

With the boy.

You wanting your woman to

walk through the bush to the capital?
