56
00:03:47,439 –> 00:03:50,479

75
00:04:57,600 –> 00:05:01,959
to the statement credited to South Africa Resident Syrian Ramafosa

00:05:02,040 –> 00:05:04,680

of Congo who always launched offensive operations against them twenty

84
00:05:29,839 –> 00:05:33,160
three rebels, only trying to manipulate the public by those

85
00:05:33,199 –> 00:05:35,519
falsely claiming to be a peacekeeper in the world. The

86
00:05:35,680 –> 00:05:39,480
SA has joined hands to escalate this as hundreds of

87
00:05:39,560 –> 00:05:43,160
