00:31recently.

01:30If you get injured during the crossfire, that is counted as crossfire. It is not intentional.
01:39Because some of these areas, once the clashes took place, there were civilians that were still in town.
01:46Once the civilians fled out of the town, they were actually safe.
01:50Once there are any crises that are carried out between the political parties, we urge the civilians to stay out
01:59of it, so that they will be safe.

02:11has displaced some 280,000 people since December.
