a great deal of hope in searching that this is the most critical election in 30 years. also the african democracy at the central office, of course, is the african national congress. the huge vacancies of africa, imports black majority rule to select projects. but then again, multiple polls in the past few months. it's shown that to be in seats could get below 50 percent. however, president offered the countries the post as publicly said, that it is confident that the is the will retain its majority in the upcoming elections. as the alternatives include the lift wing, copy this call to the economy, freedom fighters, and also a former prison. jacob zoom unexpectedly, very recently, declaring support when uniformed opposition party i'm calling to is sees which but the biggest opposition party show is the democratic allies. it already holds power locally in key areas of the country each, but it struggles with an image of problem many black. so that becomes

12:05 pm
they may be willing to put their narrow political interests ahead of our country is broader interest and sacred constitutional values. we therefore appeal to your government to recognize the high stakes for south africa in the lead up to and the aftermath of the n p. e 2024. it is in this context that we now formally request our partners in democracy to engage with consequence in the run up to the election . and that's what we're looking at here comes as a shock to menu. so that free time because it hasn't even been 2 months since the african prison settled. i'm opposed to say that, and this is a case against this is all in the eyes to j could result in foreign powers interfering with the outcomes of this close to the next is that we. * are looking at and now this is happening with this new city watched the office, the position party is austin, among other things that is for resources to be made available to both stuff, the deployment of the additional independent domestic observers. the also asking

12:07 pm
foreign interest feeling to be met. now the question that to me is how can a position bring the long about potential for any to feelings? well, at the same time, it is practically austin the united states to do so. earlier we spoke exclusively to african national congress spokesperson, milling the bank. do much siri. she says the ruling party isn't surprised with the attempts of resumed change, given the opposition to political stance. we don't know what the suppose will be or has been for all the us. but we do know that there and we are going to, and we always expected that there would be an attempt at regime change the democratic a lot and said the police come and pointed to positions that they stand for would drive very well with those in the job, i notice that do not want to see how about the new quality, the ra, dictated across the world, and particularly in the countries of the south,
12:08 pm
and to do so the, because if you look at a, as an example, if you look at the 11 spill split a cover to end inequality in the wisdom cape. the only problem is governed by that, the way that the ac where the government, the government will. but go and have a look. they have a look at. they lash conditions under which the minority leaves and going to look at the state of townships in, in cape town and the outside areas of the wisdom keep go and have a look at the pipes that way, you know, the fuse is not collected even what is predominantly known as black areas and colored communities. it can communities that gives us totally, both they give us the or any quality that is not going to be raised unless they different government takes a lot of the wisdom teeth. so, so it's a, it's
12:09 pm

12:11 pm
a living. with this footage from friday evening shows a local police station in smoldering ruins, while vehicles outside were also tours by mobs. officers fired flares to disperse angry crowds. patient game leaders want prime minister ariel henri, who's currently outside the country to resign over his failure to handle the security and economic crises. thousands of inmates also escaped earlier this week during a prison break many returning to their games. locals blame washington for the unfolding crisis, is that it is the haitian government that agrees with the gang the united states is responsible for these chaos because they are the ones who send a web us to create it. all. i realize the owner of this country is the one who gives the weapons to the dentist to destroy all life and everything we ask. he's the one who knows everything. the 3rd to add, it seems that the haitian border with the dominican republic has play struggle to stop scores of civilians from rushing across the 2 caribbean countries,
12:12 pm
share an island territory over 15000 patients are sent to have been recently displaced and that the spiraling situation in the country does cross live now to daniel shaw, a latin american and caribbean studies professor at the city university of new york . at daniel, regarding what we're seeing and hating, what would you say is the root cause of the crisis i just returned from haiti last month. i was in porter prince and what i hear from the haitian people over and over is that all of this k us has been well organized, well orchestrated in plan from washington, d. c for a number of years as 2010. when hillary clinton flew into port a prince and benighted michelle, martha lee as the prime minister of the dictator of, of haiti in march to lee in the ruling party. the p h t k is use these games which in not getting their parent militaries, the mercenaries that desk wide to do the dirty work of the us,
12:13 pm
economic and political interest in haiti. the gangs can't be held responsible by anybody where is the haitian military and the haitian police, who have a long history of repression of the people can be held more accountable. so it's, it's, it's very necessary to critique and counter the points we're seeing in the miami herald in the washington post. that this is a purely the haitian government's fault. it has a much bigger, international and historical context. it is the us primarily to blame or has the us involvement just exacerbated the problems in the country. i would say from a, any historical or sociological point of view u. s. foreign policy is to blame the was the us for us clinton and bush, who orchestrated to cruise against the democratically elected government. if john returned our steed is the us who's now orchestrating their 4th invasion and
12:14 pm
occupation of haiti, but their pain, can you in need in the bahamas is to do the dirty work. so we can talk about an invasion in an occupation of a neo colonial nature. but in blackface, washington dc gives the 600000000 to william roots show the neo liberal leader of, of, of kenya. to carry out what comes to a neo colonial invasion that doesn't benefit the haitian people is already over half a 1000000 illegal u. s. guns a wash in haiti. i've done all of the research along with others. all of these gardens are coming through florida. they're all us weapons that a fueling this gain crisis. what, what interest does the us have in a haiti that's led to its involvement there? to economically haiti has abundant mineral resources, the radi and the, the, the gold, the gas reserves. politically. the us in the neo colonial powers have continued to
12:15 pm
punish 80 for its legacy of freedom fighting of 18 for revolution diplomatically they want hades vote in the united nations in the hallway as in other regional. it's ok, so they continue to try to isolate china and in, in been as well or in cuba. so those are some of the motivations or with dr. paul farmer called the uses of haiti. it's a huge missed that the us could care less what happens in haiti. it's always been the us embassy, the us intelligence departments, depending on the state department and the us presidency that has made the ultimate decisions on haiti's destiny. they were the ones that decided to put our real and re into power. and the other ones who decided now to take our real are we out of power, who is a foreign power to decide haiti's destiny? right, well even there daniel shaw a latin american and caribbean studies professor at the city university of new york . daniel, thank you. thank you. rich. haitians aren't the only ones accusing to us of actions
12:16 pm
leading to turmoil in their country. washington's policy in africa has also been raising plenty of questions. let's have a listen to what was discussed that a re send us the state department briefing. the united states does not support violent or on democratic changes in government, in africa or elsewhere. and all violations of us export regulations will be punished to the full extent of the law. but that the united states is about support violence or on democratic changes. the government, africa, or elsewhere we do not somebody grab the rest of the day as the us state department spokesperson squared away, the question still hangs in the air. that's because the answer is definitely not so simple. and rewriting history doesn't pass the smell test. us train troops, i've been involved in at least 12 cruise in west africa, and the greater so whole region during the so called war on terror. as america scoured the globe for the next leaders to gift with
12:17 pm
a revolution. the places where america has conducted military training include burkina, faso, chad gumby, a guinea, molly, mario tamia. i need year to name a few of the doesn't last year. victoria new in the us under secretary of state a k americas soon to depart. routine change queen was asked what the us was doing to slow the parade of african officers over throwing governments, which the us have trained them to protect. some folks involved in these crews have received some us training, but far from all of them, you need to talk to them about why they are over throwing their governments are a message in all cases was that the citizens of these countries deserve to see democracy restored and particularly in malia and burkina, faso,
12:18 pm
we expect both of these uh interest governments to meet their commitments, trying to explain it all way if you want me, if to 0 in. but washington will have a tough time watching a pensive involvement, as since the 2 thousands it's regularly deployed. small commander teams to advise assist and the company local forces even into the battlefield. but this involvement has led to v stabilisation as an increase in terrorism. the latest to orchestrated by some us trained troops in africa took place a new here just last year and it's not a topic us senators, are afraid to openly admit it appears that the united states trained yet another to leader in africa. it's a disturbing trend and a sign of how badly mist allocated our national security spending is on the continent. it's
12:19 pm
a recipe for disaster. and it's part of the story about why crews are spreading all across africa in lots of places where the us has delivered lots of military assistance, but not enough economic cooperation. but who can forget the 2011 us sled operation in libya with the removal and assassination of panama for can a small market dollar fee. the k of led to the, the stabilization and privatization of the countries oil industry, putting wells into western hands and created what some of called the libyan slave trade. all quote, under the guise of humanitarian intervention, 3 came, we saw, died. have anything to do with your visit? i'm sure the
12:20 pm
news or was this here for profit that bush's and needs the american government, an american needs to send their troops and the agents around the world. i remember the case of livia, it's very clear they wanted the oil. libya is one of the richest countries and the commodity of volume. they wanted the geographic location, libya centers the mediterranean sea and is regarded as the northern gates of africa. and they wanted libya's somewhere in funds. these events help these stabilize these nations, which then lead to more us and western involvement. and the more recent military. coups, of course, washington and the bloody fingerprints have also been found in latin america and the caribbean. recently the white house denied that the u. s. is forcing hades
12:21 pm
prime minister to reside while pushing for new elections in the country. we are not, we are definitely not pushing prime, that the prime minister to resign. that is not what we're doing, but we have underscored that now is the time to finalize a political court to help set haiti on a path to a better future. and that is something that we've been working on for some time. we've been working that on that with the care. com, so that is nothing new. we've had those conversations and also the haitian partners on the past to restoring democratic order and haiti through free and fair elections, inclusive governance and power sharing. this will give the people of the up an opportunity to democratically elect their prime minister. a reminder that 20 years ago this week, the us government placed hades, then elected president, who had called for the french to pay reparations on a plane from guantanamo bay to the central african republic with a false flight plan. after he was relocated, a qu, ended
12:22 pm
a decade of democratic progress and more information today, points to the c i a 's for wrecked involvement. it took the us 58 years to recognize haiti's independence. their priorities haven't changed and today's american policy is more or less consistent with the way it's always been. the crew of september 1991 was undertaken with the support of the us administration. and in february 2004, it happened again. thanks to many of the same people. since then haiti has endured 2 decades of a revolving door of us 5 for james and today the caribbean nation. welcome cit. cool anniversary. without a single elected official and office and no elections inside. well, most haitian space, catastrophic humanitarian conditions. so here we go again. more intervention in haiti, more of the same from america as countries around the globe shawn past colonial powers,

12:25 pm
depths of 5 individuals and the injury of more than 10 people, including critical injuries. my colleague, unit know neil heard from months or schuman and canadian palestinian journalist, who spent several months covering the war from inside gaza. for our t. he's now evacuated from the enclave to cut our and explain how he managed to escape the war zone. on the beginning of november, the canadian government todd range to, to put myself my wife and my children on an approved list to leave those districts to the, to via the border to agent. so i was on that approved list for the, for the last few months. and when i basically lost on taxes and any safe place to work from you is to serve my people. i decided to to connect again with the canadian consulate to norma law. and i thought that i
12:26 pm
could add more value to the people in palestine from the outside versus inside because especially during these, investigating times and successfully, you know, i passed through that off on the board there. it took a few hours. we were given a 72 hour visa image to stay in egypt by when, by which might issue the temporarily, canadian, passport as mine was about to expire. and i decided to come to door basically because the political landscape theaters much more or less teen and friendly that i was to continue to work. we stopped in the zone for weeks, months or you had you where the focus of fronting speculation. i was to, at what had happened after communication, what was lost with you. and on one side, you had the people saying that he was maybe apprehended by the adf. other people said he had to go underground because of the,
12:27 pm
the relentless attacks by israel. some is really people were calling you a uh from us. i said, how did it feel to be in the midst of that, of that media storm. not reporting about the story being the story in any way i was a mess. message is really wouldn't have up to me leaving for the, for in any person that leaves the board or even if now the national, the bus sports, they need to get 3 approvals, waterfront bursting, one from israel and one from egypt. so the matter of fact, once i got approval to leave by the, is really forced, it shows up, i nothing that's, i'm not an assets off uh off for from us when we went missing, we were always there in time. you and this is just that we didn't have internet connection. so we so afterwards let's later on when we were able to come back safety draws or hospitals more to milwaukee. so we learned to yes, there was
12:28 pm
a lot of focus on finding really my sore. and i have mixed feelings because i want to focus to be on the 2400000 students are billions for suffering and not just on, on, on the, on, on, on a person. but at the same time. and i felt that this was how to push our story more in terms of the month. sort of that example also put a cdn who was trying to help the scene in pause. and we need to utilize his voice and his brands in order to ensure that the, you know, the right. so the students probably turned is the same as archie international have next on going underground, a option where time sees heated interview with alan,
