2:33 pm
but does anybody believe it's doable? what this is real for? i'm gonna say it back to us foreign policy. and what are the long term consequences for the region and the world? a quizzical look at us politics, the bottom line. 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 can't win the war against al should bad. alas,
2:34 pm
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 meet him as to how. 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 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 will 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 did this here and there was son m o you assigned between it
2:35 pm
to appear and the regional administration off of somebody level, which is by comparison of somebody and somebody 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 the right to play stated, somebody land is part of somebody. so an agreement that infectious on the side of anti and the toner and integrity of, of somebody. yeah. somebody has no place in, in the room based. well, it, we believe it is. we don't, we have not seen the m o u in its totality multiple 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
2:36 pm
a military naval base and access to the see. so 1st thing i would like to observe. his soap is not the shaft of ports and comes the effects of 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 pull, prepare for the defense of their homeland when i hear that that sounds like the
2:37 pm
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 a king product station. i think 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 it's open. 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 not going to a so far the, so i'm on 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 should back in december of 2022.
2:38 pm
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 of what, what site 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 the best for you 2 weeks out. that's building you heard with the president said, but it's been over a year and the on group is still controlling parts of the states. has the office of stone which, which is states he was specifically talking about, the going to do going 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
2:39 pm
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, there were considerable setbacks, not just external 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 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,
2:40 pm
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 a 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, won't 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.
2:41 pm
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 you, 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 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 if a couple of areas we have recruiting police and, and, and do they should have to 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
2:42 pm
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,
2:43 pm
the president said that's we will be eliminating of somebody from hip chevrolet, which is the regional administration and the government of the okay. 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 no, no, no, not just i just, it was like you said it's a reason to get me in a year ago. but in august for the audiences benefit in august, you said the country would be completely rid of allison bobbin 5 more meetings and let me check for october november and that by january last month actually about be completely go up 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 tactical and
2:44 pm
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 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 quote, rubber stamping somali is notorious intelligence agencies. extensive 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
2:45 pm
a face 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 humorous agenda and national issue. and it's, it's, we're 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, enforceable,
2:46 pm
security agencies in our own here. how one of our yeah, our son was 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, the pretty 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 league of 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 the amount of business that needs to be paid has been accused just where the audience has benefit. nissan 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 business bill gives the news the director power or
2:47 pm
whether to allow arrest or investigations of those nissan officials, especially 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 date 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.
2:48 pm
the officials so effectively making decide whether or not to do this. and because this organization, as you pointed out, has a very tough, based on the been states that it would 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 abusive 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 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 context of the lobster and your girlfriend, most of the nation, it's a, is, it could potentially be used. and that's,
2:49 pm
that's the what do you have to do with that can 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 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, we're heading in the right direction and i think that as an exaggeration of what would be the range of possibilities coming on. what do we 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
2:50 pm
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 oppressive 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,
2:51 pm
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 domestic of this cottage committed against innocent civilians bicycle on us a. so this, even before we know that the government offended them. yeah. ready that needs a companion which will fax a mostly fussy, stay. ready once they try to, to a good suit, carry out a, quote, the top under the sugar coat to, to do dish of useful bots. once the mazda of go from us was committed, they've been using the government has been using the disturb with mastercard. this is the capacity for free as an excuse to pursue with the very same cool that that
2:52 pm
under the small screen of the well bought the feed is not only the own go, you must have care and destruction that these are the government to fees. where is this 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, i obviously do this. we owe the and own going volume in to basic use in by the government, any splunk. 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
2:53 pm
streets and protests against 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 off singled. and what's interesting is often times 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
2:54 pm
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 little force in, in, in, in, in guides. they get 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 you see 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 to me. but like, why are the a there is a so nami ok,
