what is the cost of defense, and today's is really, while most of the cultures political class has been support of benjamin netanyahu. war on guys of a small minority have denounced. will talk to and is really member of parliament who opposes the government's actions. that conversation is coming up. but 1st, when somebody president has some shape move to the office almost 2 years ago. he

promised to read the country of the armed group, allister bad. but after early success is 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 can't win the war against our should bad. alas, those questions to this was headliner. somali is deputy prime minister. so last asked me to jemma the deputy prime minister. thank you so much for joining me on upfront. it's a pleasure to be here, mr. hill. as on january 1st, the self governing region of some island, which is internationally recognized as a part of somalia assigned a memorandum of understanding with ethiopia, which would allow land like ethiopia to use ports along 20 kilometers of the

regions coast. somebody lands president said that you'll be in return would recognize somalia 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 here, and there was son m o you assign between util up here and the regional administration off of somebody level, which is the bottom parcel of somebody. and some of the government has in the last sentence, then clear left to clear to that we do not recognize that. and while you, as it is against the international law and custom of the law as a right to play stated somebody, land is part of somebody. so an agreement that infectious on the settlement and the

toner 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 these hoping government and some of the public discussions by the university of, of somebody then it is supposed to include a military naval base and access to, to see. so the 1st thing i would like to observe, his soap is not the shaft of ports in terms of effective simulated support. us. it uses the post office, you go to it uses the post of better, better in somebody. and then somebody uses the ports off level 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 for my mood. i say that disagreement is nothing more than annexation. he specifically said it's nothing more than annex in part of somalia to ethiopia. he also told somalis to quote, 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, i think we have to clarify a few things here. but our president says that this is, i came to an extension. i think that is very simple thing to understand when it comes to international law, 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 hope you and government has probably passed

that practice. on the other hand, it is only natural for some ideas and the government to try to different defense. 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, i think use the language of total war against al chabad. 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 government's offensive effect. let's take a look at what he said. you're thinking 2 weeks up. what's that will be will be completely free of us back in 2 weeks. you look which statement, particularly look on, who should been, what will be considered out of that for you? 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 states he was specifically talking about. don't gonna do get a hardship that's so uh to have been a big populous states. yeah. a 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 the reins and droughts and, and some of the calibration of the strategy and logistics. but it is a widely accepted both within somebody and i'm on the observers unpopular. 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 into 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 ex general factors, but that should bob recovered and that the expectation of the president to do that within a few weeks out should buy, would be gone from the regions 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 new edition 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 actor the farmer for a show up over the years. but the one thing i can guarantee you is that in the last year on have, i'll show ups capabilities, military capabilities, financial capabilities, an ideological base has been dramatically diminished, degraded, and destroyed. and that's needed, a very, a sophisticated on comprehensive approach to this war. it is not purely mechanical, a connected community anymore. it is

a 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. it's an entrenched fight that makes sense to me. the president, however, a year ago says again, you know what would be rid of them in a few weeks. i won't hang my head just don't 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 continued to set such unrealistic targets? so the, what i'll shut off is, is, as i told the ought to be a 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 were going through for the last 10 years. we were 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 and it's a couple of areas we have recruiting police and, and,

and do the issue with respect. i understand your point. my concern is, and my question is, then why does the president knowing all that information and still say he'll be going in weeks he'll be going into planning mazda 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. and setting those types of, of, of, of unrealistic goals. i find that there is 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, uh, by the combating terrorism center at west point. specifically, they pointed at these ambitious timeline set by the government as a bone or ability. they said 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 the, the hurry military strategy actually makes you more vulnerable, make sure you're at your allies and partners more vulnerable because you're sitting unrealistic dates and then trying to fulfill them. what do you make of that?

mr. hill may take you back little bit 2 or 3 years ago. 40 years ago, 10 years ago. the research and analysis from people on 5 we're from somebody. was that the, somebody, the government is not doing much about the fight against. i'll show up. i know we're debating they scale and they scope photo patients. i think we have come as a long way. yeah. the, the president said that's we will be eliminating of somebody from hip chevrolet, which is the regional administration. and the government. as i said last year. yes, in august you said that you 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 reason to get me in a year ago. but in august, just for the audiences benefit in august, he said the country would be completely rid of al, should bobbin 5 more meetings and let me send for october, november to that by january last month. actually about be completely go off in the country. i think that's an unrealistic goal. could 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 shut up from these 2 regions and we had about 82 to 90 person that will show up is a very more bio and sophisticated organization that move is around uses all kind of a technical and minutely 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 somebody, 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 challenge is part and parcel of 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 put 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. so i'm on a government is continuously and i've been administer. if i see a surprise 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. a house, 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 one. i mean, this is the human rights organizations around the world of talking about this. and so certainly somebody is not alone. lots of places, a forcible security agency is improving our own here how one of our yeah, our son was dealing with the kids 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. i mean, is it printing strong recent history of this happening in somalia? but i respect your point about about, oh, we're about to nathan for the 1st time we have given nisa legal foundation, my friend. yeah. but the problem with the bill is that it doesn't create mechanisms

of account of billing if it is nascent, as you discussed, been that seems all the more reason to create more mechanisms of, of, of oversight and then how to do it that needs to be sent has been accused just where the audience has been, if it needs it has been accused of a number of abuses in the past, including arbitrarily detaining children, subjecting them to cold course of treatment and interrogations, denying them access to relative and legal counsel threatening them on occasion meeting and torturing them. and this bill gives the nice the director power on whether to allow arrest or investigations of those needs. officials essentially providing the immunity from prosecution. this is not account ability. i can 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 past used to be governed by laws that the so, you know, like it's the last from the previous government dictatorship 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 subcommittees and the parliament that oversee so yes, it's a growing institution. but we are on the path to ensuring that we have the legal and regulatory mechanisms to govern our institutions the bill and 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. i mean, they've been states that it will be, uh, that would be procedures to prosecute and, and, and, and help hold is the agencies account. okay. in fact, you're right where it says that while the bill put bands, torture and inhumane and degrading treatment, it could still be misused to protect abuse of nissan members and prosecution. or to provide the agency with the legal cover. if it decides not to cooperate in criminal proceedings, so, so this one has me speaking human rights organizations have set 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 context of the lobster and your girlfriend, most of the nation, it saves it, could potentially be used. and that's, that's the what do you have to do with that could be present? and then let me, let me know. nice is i my, my, my good friend. i think we have enough national instruments to ensure that the protection of the right so far as civilians were moving away from a nice side that had a militaristic background to on the side that is under civilian oversight and the regulatory framework. the policies, the procedure is at also be put in place, so it is heading in the right direction. and i think that as an exaggeration of what would be the range of possibilities coming over to me. so that's asked museum

. i think it was originally meant upfront. thank you very much. the one month ago, the international court of justice found that there was a possible risk that israel may be 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 can safe argue that the icy j case was a legitimate and necessary investigation? his fellow lawmakers attempted to expel him from the legislature. narrow lead failing to do so last week. overcast eve joins 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 support in south africa's genocide case at the international court of justice. although you consistently condemned for massive

attack and you've been lost friends personally on october 7th. your fellow legislators called you treason is, and they accused you of being a supporter of how much, how bad are things right now, how repressive would you say conditions are for those with the st. inside of israel? a, we, i don't want to bring coffee foss use dictates of shape. let's be frank to before the master k. i wish you the 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 condemn this semester to have this cottage committed against innocent civilians bicycle boss a. so this even before we know that the government offended them. yeah. ready that needs a companion is which to a fax, a mostly fussy stay. ready once they try to, to a,

is to carry out a, quote, the top under the sugar coat to, to do $74.00 bots. once the mazda of go from us was committed, they've been using the government has been using the disturb with massacre. this is the capacity for free as an excuse to pursue with the very same cool that, that under this most screen of the well bought the feed is not only the own going muster, care and destruction that these are the governmental fees, where it is a sponsor before we got so it's also the ethnic cleansing of the west bank of egypt was of an occupied used. it was the name of the west bank, but it is also where you take out the secure sion of any opposition. voice that uses have we seen the state of the latin? mainly if it comes out of up to see these this, but not only will all of us, let's this, it democratic, can choose. and as i said,

the mainly 1st and foremost obviously do this. we owe them and own going value on it to basic use by the government any spoke. so use like these, like the police for instance, which is, well there's, 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 netanyahu has low support and that the support is dropping. so that's tingled. and what's interesting is oftentimes war time presidents, their numbers go up, stairs are still having this 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 smoke. he's terrified to sleeping

because he knows he's the only chance he has to stay out of please. and he's by clinging to his chair, that's the movies of the piece. ready. and actually does suck, defies not only thousands and thousands of bodies finance, but also these are the most pages in storage is they have such a bible as to hopefully nathan, y'all and his dogs own interest in 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 steam. he helps the government and that by minister and he said meet his desk with the point about the bank i was talking 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 is rallies, believe that the military use is either an appropriate amount of force or did this to a little force in, in, in, in, in guys i guess,

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 it next destination but, but the, the bottom line. unfortunately, the vast majority of fed juicy because then the news i am, and i really lament that's a dose thing that the, these are sort of guys like, it's not going to get the made. but like, why are the a there is a so nami ok, 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, that by many 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 and be able to have these. as i said before, full been glad is a kind of face god certainly. and that moves the machine that we see i make fanatic

machine. now unfortunately, the use of power, the evidence will and of course the, in the all the, to a, you know, bring, watch the, then the people are leaving easily. and i think the media play to what role does the media play in 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 never has jobs please for help. what 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 are the 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 faster. 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 using this on the streets. they don't show in the book, talk about it. it's not only that they don't show the ongoing website destruction the cost of reading garza, they actually quoted you to the fact that most of the people in use. i don't want to know about what's going on. you've got that many field stuff because i told you kind of zip it up, a ways to analyze it and explain that is this kind of a,

you know, a little call up after fi or even a celebration of that. they have story garza and i get unfortunately with the time i can only say that the, the setting to some publications in the past for the suffolk of blood zip zip. well, it no one likes to see in the me. oh and feeling so way in ahead, the problem is that instead of changing jo, a one says, the villain sometimes fails to break the meal, and that's what we're experiencing about. oh fantastic, thank you so much for joining us. thanks for your insights. alright everyone, that is our show up for it will be back next week the, the 10s of thousands of chinese asylum seekers are risking their lives in

a dangerous route to the us. we're in america. so what happens once they make it impart to have a special investigation? $1.00, oh, $1.00 east tasks chinese, my friends, the american dream is, was there risk and the sacrifice on out to 0 diverse to nature color and meaning with these really made it to your patient front and center. nothing about this exemption is traditional or permanent or dis work place next to younger artists. it's a reminder that there is one unders way the bombardment i think that something they refuse to die sucked into the fuselage. quite an openings edition, only to be closed after the war and as it drags on menu on these paintings, maybe a survivor of causes are investigations

that get compelling sewing center on your toes to from asia and the pacific one. 0 $1.00 east on out to 0. the in the un says many palestinians injured advise riley forces while waiting for food items such as a suffered gunshot wounds, a 116 people were killed. and that's a time the understand these a, this is all just a live in the hall. so coming up, the us says it will add dropped food and supplies into gaza. agencies say won't be enough for moment to 1000000 palestinians facing solve a.
