but tens of thousands of his supporters keeps coming to the cemetery. to be the firewall authorities didn't prevent the media from covering the event of the state news. let's widely ignored it. there's a short reaction, was brief, but the claimant spokes peasant had this morning to have only supposes we need some training you and they're any on authorized gatherings, will be a legal and all those who had heart dissipated them will be held accountable by law . all those who came to pay their respects was photographed by most men and out do surveillance cameras. with facial recognition technology, a reminder for them to haze, the criminals was of caution. you lash above all of a to z right most. go for news at the top of the, our upfront is next by the, the what constitutes extend to each end to talk you will see that i want you to start with

just the facts. what as to what happened as independent. we want these, we want the education my want, we do. we don't have lead them in different countries in the policy. um it's meant to get 50 percent representation and accountability and benefit no $1000.00 service. this claimant reports that i should just trust that unity often as i find the cool that used to produce outstanding generally some elders, the integrity in the pursuit of truth. what is the cost of descent and today's israel, while most of the cultures political plaza has been support of benjamin netanyahu. war on guys of a small minority have denounced. it will talk to in his really member of parliament, who opposes the government's actions. that conversation is coming up for the 1st. when smiley president has been shaped lot moved to the office almost 2 years ago.

he promised to read the country of the armed group as to bad. but after early successes, the government's military campaign has reported installed. meanwhile, the country is also facing a diplomatic crisis with neighboring ethiopia over a brick away region in the north of the country. so what plays ahead for somalia and kenneth when the war against out should back last those questions to this was headliner, somali is deputy prime minister. so last asked me to jump on the mr. w prime minister. thank you so much for joining me on upfront. it's a pleasure to be here, mr. hill. on january 1st, the self governing region of some island, which is internationally recognized as a part of somalia, signed a memorandum of understanding with ethiopia, which would allow land like ethiopia to use ports along 20 kilometers of the of the

regions coast. somebody lands president said that you'll be in return would recognize some malia as an independent state. that of course would make if you'll be the 1st country in the entire world to do so. oh, where does that situation stand at the moment? well, thank you very much. i'm glad to be here. yes. on the 1st of gentlemen of this year and then it was fun. and while you assigned between it to appear and the regional administration off of somebody level, which is the bottom part of sort of somebody and somebody government has in the last sentence then clearly have to collect the data. we do not recognize that. and while you, as it is against the international law and custom of the law as the right to play stated, somebody land is part of somebody. so an agreement that incentives on the sort of

end to end the, to the thought and integrity of, of somebody. yeah. somebody has no place in, in the room based. well, it, we believe that it is, we don't, we have not seen the m o u in its totality. people from what we can extrapolate to from the somebody provided in the media by the token government and some of the public discussions by the university of, of somebody. and then it is supposed to include a military naval base as an access to the sea. so 1st thing i would like to observe here is philip, is not the shaft of ports and comes effects to simulate at the ports. uses the post office, you go to, it uses the post, a felt better in somebody than somebody uses the ports off level. and, and, and the pod stuff came in. so this is not the one of accessibility to the c, uganda. everyone to a lot of other countries to utilize the port stuff comes in. yeah. or can you that,

that doesn't entitle them to get into an illegal agreement with the end of each and also how do you respond to that? as a nation? i've heard your president has some share from us move. i say that disagreement is nothing more then. annexation, he specifically said it's nothing more than annex in part of somalia to ethiopia. he also told somalis to pull, prepare for the defense of their homeland when i hear that that sounds like the kind of language that prepares the country. it may be the global community for war . all right, and i think we have to clarify few things here. when our president says that this is a king product station, i think, and that is very simple thing to understand. when it comes to international, i'm all getting into agreement. and a treaty with another country involves dealing with the federal law, the central government of the country. it is not the sort of agreements you get with some national entities. and there's hoping the government has to pay past that

practice. on the other hand, it is only natural for some ideas and the government to try to defend, defend, that's something to a so far the, some of the government has gone down the path of legality. but it's been a year and a half since your president declared a think use the language of total war against all should back in december of 2022. the president was right here on the show. and when i asked him about this, he was very confident about the governments offensive. if excellent, let's take a look at what he said. you're thinking 2 weeks up. what's that would be to be completely free of us about 2 weeks. you look which statement, particularly look on, who should been, what will be completely out. i'll have somebody in 2 weeks out. that's building you heard with the president said, but it's been over a year, and the armed group is still controlling parts of the states. has the office of

stone which, which is state, he was specifically talking about the government to get a hardship that's so uh, to a very big populous states, you know, company about 1000 kilometers. think i've shut up is now limited to a very, very narrow strip of course that i've been few talents in the form of rains and droughts and, and some of the calibration of the strategy and logistics. but it is a widely accepted both within somalia and i'm on the observers on popular so somebody that this war has been very, very successful despite being very challenging. and we lost a lot of the lives of a lot of young men, men and women, but h ones in the front lines. it's not an easy walk in the park, but we are making gains. the read of many people is that there were a considerable successes and then over time they were considerable setbacks,

not just x terminal factors, but that should bob recovered. and that the expectation of the president, the, that the, that within a few weeks out should buy, would be gone from that region. it was simply inaccurate. for whatever reason, would that be fair to say? i don't think that it's fair to say, i mean the do addition may have taken a bit longer, much on what side of it and vicious. but we have fighting a very important and, and, and, and very at a well equipped and trained act to the farmer for a show up over the years. but the one thing i can guarantee is that in the last year on have a show ups capabilities, military capabilities, financial capabilities, ideological base, has been dramatically diminished, degraded, and destroyed. and that's needed, a very sophisticated, comprehensive approach to this war. it is not purely mechanical, a connected community to war. it is either logic of its social logical measure

course as, as i hear you talk, you sound very measured. you said sound very pragmatic. you're saying it's again, it's a big fight. it's a long fight that insurance to fight that makes sense to me. the president, however, a year ago says again, you know, want to be rid of them in a few weeks. i won't hang my head just on that in august of last year. he went even further saying that the aim was to eliminate else about in 5 months. this was last august. why does he continue to set such unrealistic targets? so the, what i will show up is, is, as i told you, out of the multi dimensional one, it's a financial work. it's about we just completed our hipaa initiative, which is the debt or leave a program that we would have going through for the last 10 years. we would able to lift the arms and burn, but that has been on us for the last 32 years. we are providing services to the new unit, a couple of areas we have recruiting police and and,

and do they should have with respect i understand your point. my concern is that my question is, then, why does the president know all that information and still say they'll be going in weeks, they'll be going into the plan last week and just to give you some kind as to why i'm concerned it is, it seems to me that it's not just political rhetoric, but that there might be an actual danger in setting those types of, of, of, of unrealistic goals. if there's a study, i want to respond to the study that there's a study of the security situation in somali, publish just a few weeks ago by the combating terrorism center at west point. specifically, they pointed at these ambitious timeline set by the government as a bone or ability. uh, they say that it inflates public and partner expectations and risks stretching. the national armies limited human and material resources as a result of a hurried military strategy. when you hear that, that the hurried military strategy actually makes you more vulnerable, make sure you're at your allies and partners more vulnerable because you're setting unrealistic dates and then trying to fulfill them. what do you make of that?

mr. hill may take you back little bit to 3 years ago, 40 years ago, 10 years of all the research and analysis from people on 5 we have from somebody. was that the, somebody, the government is not doing much about the fight against siobhan. i know we're debating they scale and they scope. photo patients. i think we have come as a long way. yeah. the president said, that's me. we'd be eliminating of somebody from hip chevrolet, which is the regional administration. and the government has it last year. yes. in august they say they do completely go on the 5 thing we're talking about this to me just let me, let me know. not just i just, it was like he said it's a reasons. yeah. let me in a year ago. but in august for the audience has been a bit in august, he said the country would be completely rid of algebra bobbing 5 more minutes and then the chamber october, november. and that by january, last month i was about be completely off in the country. i think it's an unrealistic goal. can we? let me, let me, let me once again give you

a perspective on this. ok. the objective force on face one to eliminate i'll show up from these 2 regions and we had about 82 to 90 person. there will show up is a very low volume and sophisticated organization that move is that around uses all kind of tactical and minutely and techniques to try to get into the hands on line or somebody not escape . but i think compared to the previous years, this a one and a half year have been the most successful time. that the some of the government has support. i guess i'll show up. we're not here to deny the talent stuff come, i would wait. but adapting to and adjusting to childs is pop pop. so over the world here and moving forward in march of last year, president must move, assigned a law, and then expands the powers of somalis, national intelligence and security agency,

also known as nisa human rights watch. had previously called on the president not to sign this. they stated that instead of quote, rubber stamping somali is notorious intelligence agencies, expensive powers. the government should restrict its authority and to improve account ability. what is your government doing a safe guard? the human rights of citizens from abuses, you know, from the security services and government is continuously and i've been administer fi fi of spies to my kind of position as the d p. m. and the, some of the government has gradually and consistently been working on the protection of the rights, one of our citizens and the government has a ministry that's in charge of human rights and, and then the website of children we have, we will be soon finding the human rights commission, we have a very useful and meaningful interactions with several sites organizations in terms

of trying to make the human i sent in the national issue all nights were headed by the president. you know, the, what do you use here is notorious. yeah, the very strong what to use, what do we have be what, what an accurate and what i mean isn't the human rights organizations around the world of talking about this? and so certainly somebody is not alone. lots of places, a forcible security agencies in our own here our, our, yeah, our son wants to dealing with the case up since i'll stick with the agency. so let's not compare the imaging nascent institution. so if somebody a to more and friendship institution is that it went on for the data, you know, historical practices. well, i mean, is it pretty strong? a recent history of this happening in somalia, but i respect your point about about we, about the nation. so your 1st time we have given nisa league of foundation, my friend. yeah. but the problem with the bill is that it doesn't free mechanisms

of it kind of building if it is nascent, as you discussed, been that seems all the more reason to create more mechanisms of, of, of oversight and kind of built that needs. nissan has been accused just for the audience has benefit and you say has been accused of a number of abuses in the past, including arbitrarily detaining children, subjecting them to golf course of treatment and interrogations, denying them access to relative and legal counsel threatening them and on occasion leading and torturing them. and this bill gives the nice the director power or whether to allow arrest or investigations of those needs. officials essentially providing them immunity from prosecution. this is not accountability. how can you guarantee the human rights of citizens are respected? if the security forces can grant themselves immunity? they can literally say, you know what? we're arguing from prosecution to like a friend. nice off the pos used to be governed by laws that use. so, you know, like i said last from the previous government dictates are saved in the past. nice of to day comes under the nasa the, the national security ministry which has

a civilian oversight over it. and that are probably meant to be supplement teens and the parliament that oversee so yes, it's the growing institution. but we are on the path to ensuring that we have the legal and regulatory mechanisms to govern our institution. the bill gives that needs the director power on whether to allow arrests or investigations of needs. the officials. so effectively making decide whether or not to do this and because of the organization, as you pointed out, has a very tough this on the been states that it would be uh, that would be procedures to prosecute and, and, and, and help hold is the, it does this account, okay, in fact, you are right where it says that while the bill put bands, torture and inhumane and degrading treatment, it could still be misused to protect abusive nissan members from prosecution or to provide the agency with legal cover. if it decides not to cooperate in criminal proceedings, so, so this is me speaking human rights organizations have said the same thing that

this bill creates the space and the mechanisms legally, to protect these organizations from accountability, from oversight, from investigation, from prosecution participation. my friend, i think if you put it up in front of me and if you read it within the concepts of the logic and your girlfriend, most of the nation, it's a is, it could potentially be used. and that's, that's the what do i have to deal with that could be present? and then let me, let me know. nice. i my, my, my good friend. i think we have enough national instruments to ensure that the protection of the right so far civilians were moving away from a nice side that had a militaristic background on the side that is under civilian oversight and the frameworks, the policies, the procedure is at also be put in place, so it is, we're heading in the right direction and i think that as an exaggeration of what would be the range of possibilities coming out,

what do we so that's asked museum. i think so much it's only been upfront. thank you very much. the one month ago, the international court of justice found that there was a plausible risk, that israel maybe committing genocide and it's more on guys that one of the few voices within is really politics. supporting this case was overcast eve, a member of israel's parliament, called the connecticut. from the left wing, arab jewish, had dashed to our party. when castillo argued that the icy j case was a legitimate and necessary investigation, his fellow law makers attempted to expel him from the legislature. narrow lead failing to do so last week, overcast eve, joys me now to discuss the current climate and is really politics and society. mr. can see. thank you so much for joining me on upfront. your fellow lawmakers tried to expel you from the connected because you're supported south africa's genocide case at the international court of justice. although you consistently condemned her

massive attack and you've been lost friends personally on october 7th, your federal legislators called you treasonous. and they accused you of being a supporter of how much, how bad are things right now? how oppressive would you say a conditions are for those with dissent inside of israel? a, we, i want to bring coffee foss use big data shape. let's be frank. before the master k, we should go to the and why did you say they totally condemned that they lost some good friends there and they bought the 1st and foremost i do are logically in mobility. i totally condemned. this must have to have this cottage committed against innocent civilians bicycle boss a. so this, even before we know that the government offended them. yeah, it was in these a companions. we'd show facts a mostly fussy stay once they tried to, to a,

the suit carry out a quote, the top of the sugar coat to tell you do 74 bots. once the mazda of people go from us, was committed, they've been using, the government has been using the this started with masika. this is the terrible catastrophe as an excuse to pursue with the very same quote that that under this most screen of the will fog defeat is not only the own going, must occur in destruction. the diesel, that it governmental feasibility is responsible for wind gusts up. it's also the ethnic cleansing of the west bank of the huge it was of an occupied east. it was the name of the west bank, but it is also what he did. the coco secuity, sion of any opposition. busy voice that uses, have we seen the state of the latin? mainly if it comes up see these this, but not only will all of us let's this it democratic,

can choose. and as i said, mainly 1st and foremost obviously do this. we are all of them. and own going by your name, to basic use by the government. any splunk. so use legs. these are the police for instance, which is, well, there, i'm glad you mentioned that because these people, this coalition of dissenters that you're talking about, it's not a small number anymore. just this past weekend of thousands of israelis took to the streets and protests against the prime minister netanyahu and, and his government, they demanded early elections. they demanded a deal to release the remaining hostages. and it has a poll show that nothing yahoo has low support and that the support is dropping off still. and what's interesting is often times war time, presidents, their numbers go up stairs are still okay. i mean, yeah, there's no dropping. so given all given, all of that isn't leaving any time to look, it isn't though he does have likes to he doesn't work. he's terrified to sleeping

because he knows he's the only chance he has to stay out of police and he's by clinging to his chair. that's the amenities of the p ready. and actually does suck, defies not only thousands and thousands of police finance, but also these are the hostages in storage is suckered by the i to of the neo and his dogs, old interest and the a to survive in got in power. the government for them is more important. the citizens of the people is well, let the police stand. yes, they don't care about the people who are feasible, let alone the police standing ups, the government, and that by minister. and he said meet his desk with the point about the bank. i wanna talk about who his day is because there was a pole in january. there was a pole in january that showed that over 90 percent of jewish, his rallies believe that the military use is either an appropriate amount of force or did this to me little force in, in, in,

in guys i getting against the palestinians. how do you explain that? how do you make sense of it? first of all, i am not sure that we can speak about 90 percent stop. seems to me, you'll know exactly what the next steps relation but, but the, the bottom line. unfortunately, the vast majority of fed juicy because then the news that i have, and i really lament that's a do a seeing that the, these are sort of guys like is not talking to keep the made, but like why are the a, there is a so nami, of a fanatic nationalism in these 80 society for may for a quite a long time though. even this government and especially since october 7th, definitely the government wants to survive. as i said before, the find any step. and the, and there is a lies, is not the lights, most b mitsy i'll make lunatics, they don't coat care about the blad may of palestinians. it'd be able to feed heavy . so as i said before, full then glad is a kind of fed guides only in the moves the machine that we see i make fanatic

machine. now unfortunately, the use of power, the evidence will and it's going to be in order to, you know, bring, watch the, then the people leaving easily and the media player to hold as a media play and that brain washing product you mentioned. and i, i say that because as we watch the news coming out of god's it, it's printing shilling. it's harrowing. just the last couple of weeks over we've seen footage of a 2 month old infant dying of starvation. we've heard 6 year old he know hundreds, pleased for help while being trapped in a car surrounded by her dead. family members are it's a journalist, get in. libby said that in most is really media coverage. it's as though palestinian civilians quote, do not exist and that quote in israel is usually only the soldiers. only the hostages. how true is this? are ours really seeing the suffering and guys of what you just quoted instead,

the said 100 percent correct? are they, these are the media, the vast majority of these. any media, jo, that is, i can count on one and, you know, one problem with my and i way many jo lease due. it'd be fair to the catastrophe that goes on in garza. but generally speaking, the media, especially television, don't show anything about the ongoing gods. the software, the best of ation, the destruction to this story that the bug is even just on the streets. they don't show and they don't talk about it. it's not only that they don't show the ongoing but the destruction of the custom freedom garza. they actually contribute to the fact that most of the people in use live don't want to know about what's going on. you've got that many philosophical, psychological, etc. its ways to analyze it and explain that it is this kind of

a you know, a little call up after fi or even a celebration of that. they have story and guys and get unfortunately with the time i can only say that the vetting to some publications in the past for the suffolk of loves it simple and no one likes to see in the me. oh and feeling so way in ahead. we're going to use that instead of changing your a one says the villain sometimes we fails to break the meal and that's what we are experiencing about. oh fantastic, thank you so much for joining us. thank you for your insights. all right, everyone, that is our show up for it will be back next week the with fearless geminus and just behind me, hundreds of people have been designed to

h as in depth coverage thailand, states it's future of fossil fuels. out to do is teens on the ground. when you close to the house of this truly unique perspective, that politics plays himself and does told the palestinians to go to on heard voices through humor. i try to highlight the absurdities inconsistency, but upon proceeding that's local landscape, connect with our community and talking to conversations you will find elsewhere to take every day. this is going to unspeakable horror as to really a lot about what's happening because of the tasks and media attention. the stream on out to 0. generation football so spoiled the french captain, teresa bra, unit j. c. waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for an illuminating, open conversation. 3rd, very simple forward is that facing about child abuse is you. i am a u n b and i think we need to help each other. and also showcase is the incredible

story of the footfall. this is a lot of dentist done to escape the time of the generation for episode one of the a no respite in gaza and is really our strike. it's a home and a mosque and dated by the police. 9 people are killed and dozens wounded. the life from headquarters in jail for i'm getting into also ahead no excuses because the truth is a line to go. so it is nowhere nearly enough us presidential guidance as he'll send air drops of humanitarian aid in 2000. as the situation becomes more.
