for committing federal crimes u.s. investigators file charges in the russia meddling probe but don't. don't name anyone from the tribe campaign. europe security is security zachariah charged. the man accused of raping and killing a seven year old girl in pakistan is sentenced to death the crime sparked massive protests across the country. and i'm peter stomata it's the winter olympics and japanese superstar using two hundred new has made history by becoming the first male figure skater in sixty six years to defend the gold medal.

fake identities staged political rallies and a systematic campaign of social media trolling just a few of the allegations made in a u.s. indictment of thirteen russians and three companies for criminal and espionage conspiracy it's part of the ongoing investigation into tampering with the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential elections but it does not say whether the tram campaign colluded with the kremlin mike hanna reports from washington. and anti trump protest march in new york shortly after his election this one of the pro and anti trump rallies the special counsel alleges were organized by the group of russians sometimes at the same time on the same day part of a massive campaign the indictments say were aimed at promoting donald trump at the expense of his opponents both republican and democrat special counsel robert miller has indicted a total of thirteen russian nationals and three companies for alleged interference

with the twenty sixteen elections according to the unsealed indictment the accused conspired from two thousand and fourteen until today to interfere with the us political and electoral processes including the presidential election of two thousand and sixteen the special counsel alleges that the group posed as americans and controlled social media accounts but focused on divisive social and political issues. the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein states that there are no conclusions in the indictment that the campaign affected the election result and no allegation in this indictment that any american had any knowledge and the nature of the scheme was that the defendants took extraordinary steps to make it appear that they were ordinary american political activists even going so far as to base their activities on a virtual private network here in the united states of anybody traced it back to

the first jump and they appear to be americans this interpreted in a unique way by president trump who tweeted in reaction russia started the n.t. us campaign in two thousand and fourteen long before i announced that i would run for president the results of the election were not impacted the trump campaign did nothing wrong no collusion. no acknowledgement that the indictments implicitly reject his off stated opinion that claims of russian interference were as he put it fake news donald trump is going to be very worried about today's events in large part because it puts to lie the allegations that he's made for the past year that there was no russian involvement many republicans including president trump console had been highly critical of the work being carried out by robert miller and his team these indictments put to an end any attempts to undermine or even a hole to the investigation by the special counsel the other certainty that proof

of russian involvement in the us election is just the beginning and not the end of investigation mike hanna al-jazeera washington. ory challenge is live for us now in moscow so rory has there been any reaction on this from russia. or maria's heart of a who's the spokeswoman for the russian foreign ministry puts in a facebook post that she couldn't really summon the energy how to read all of the indictments but expressed her incredulity that she put it thirteen people intervened in the u.s. election thirteen she says against the billion dollar budgets of the secret service against intelligence and counter-intelligence the against against the latest inventions and technologies is this absurd as well you actually suggest that it is but this she says is a modern american political reality and we've had some comment as well from you

have gainey progression who is one of the men at the heart of this indictment he is called putin share fees a billionaire he is supposedly the man who is bankrolling this troll farm and simply petersburg he's also already on the u.s. sanctions list by the way well he says the americans are very impressionable people and they see what they want to see he doesn't have a problem with being on this list and they want to see the devil let them he says so given the reaction there then and the current state of relations between the u.s. and russia what's the likelihood that any of the people named in this indictment are actually going to be arrested. well i would so the likelihood of that is hovering somewhere around the zero points you know this is this is not a request for extradition as yet or anything like that and even if it gets to that stage there is basically zero chance of the russians are going to extradite people to the u.s.

to face any charges is just not going to happen it's not how the russians play this sort of situation they will look after their own the russians are also going to be i think focusing on what the indictment doesn't say the indictment doesn't say that the russian government. specifically sponsored this election meddling efforts and it also says that the while it doesn't say that this effort actually change the outcome of the elections russians also will be well aware and will probably be pointing out at some point in the not too distant future that the americans themselves have a long history of involvement in other countries elections that's been done many times over the years in many countries and actually the americans did it in russia back in one thousand nine hundred six when boris yeltsin the president at the time looked like he was going to lose an election to the communists that's of course something that the americans didn't want to happen and there were several american

political consultants who came over to russia and helped to get out and win the election were a challenge life for us there in moscow i think. now at least eighteen people have been killed in three suicide blasts at a fish market in northeast nigeria a suicide bomber struck in a condo near the borno state capital maiduguri more than fifty people have been wounded no one is claimed responsibility but the area has faced attacks by the armed group boko haram for many years. a suspected serial killer has been sentenced to death in pakistan for the rape and murder of a seven year old girl zainab on saudi's body was found on a garbage dump a week after she was kidnapped the killing spark nationwide protests with claims the government wasn't doing enough to protect children a court handed down for death sentences to iran ali who is to be tried on seven other cases and the british prime minister has called for

a new treaty with the european union by the end of next year to resume its been speaking the second day of the munich security conference she says the new agreement should be up and running by late twenty nineteen to make sure military and intelligence cooperation continues after it leaves the bloc. so as we leave the e.u. and forge a new pastor ourselves in the world the u.k. is just as committed to europe security in the future as we have been in the past europe security is our security and that is why i hope said and i say again today that the united kingdom is conditionally committed to maintaining it or they were cheaters life for us now in munich so david would be interesting to see what the reaction is to this speech in europe from the leader of a government that is intending to leave the european union. doesn't the reaction here has been very receptive amongst the audience so many

defense chiefs and world leaders and diplomats but essentially theresa may here is not asking for anything that really impossible or i mean she's saying that the security a special security relationship must be maintained after the u.k. leaves when present happens in march next year now she says that she's trying to fight against institutional restrictions and political ideology but in the end i think everybody realizes as she said that they all want to avoid the heartache of terrorist attacks too many capitals in the european union have already suffered that and they all have one responsibility and that is to protect their civilians but for a wider why do sort of perspective on this i have with me a professor of international relations professor paul davis professor jews think the trees a maze perhaps asking for too much would you think there will be

a special relationship after britain leaves the european union i think you have to assume that there is going to be a special relationship because it's in everybody's interests that's the reason may understands very well that britain needs to have some institutionalized cooperation with with the european union on a variety of issues in particular security issues but the europeans understand that the u.k. has particular assets that they don't want to. lose very strong intelligence assets a lot of. skills in the in the in the world of international policing and so i think there's going to be an agreement because it's in everybody's interest to reach one looking at what's been happening here in the munich security conference that you mentioned before and discussions before you came on air that there does seem to be a bit of a vacuum in leadership tell me more you know well i mean that you know the. conferences point to all kinds of crises that could boil over into something much

bigger whether we're talking about the war in syria the conflict in the middle east between iran and saudi arabia for dominance when we go over to the asian theater when we look at what's going on with with north korea that the festering problem in the ukraine everybody knows that we have a lot of problems and in to solve them we need leadership but we don't have it if you look to washington washington's could completely absorbed with its own problems and and today we saw that again with the announcements from the special prosecutor if you look to berlin they don't have a government we're wondering is is chancellor merkel even going to be around let alone be the last best hope for the liberal world order and when we look to the u.k. we don't really know at the end of the day what what the relationship is going to be between the u.k. and europe and so and so we're all sort of grasping with the question who is going to lead. professor thank you very much for sharing your opinions with al-jazeera

english so a vacuum of leadership is merkel angela merkel going to be the chancellor of what will be a speedy. referendum due next week will she actually be able to form a government just some of the many questions as a swirling round here in the munich security conference and the david thanks for that david chase to live for us in munich now that wasn't the only conference in munich another meeting not far away was organized by the country's blockading qatar but as bottle reports now many who turned up were paid to be there. a few blocks from where the world's most influential security conference is being held another than to has taken place the country's imposing a sea land and air blockade on qatar invited journalists to attend their own meeting described as a conference to encourage sanctions against qatar when no one showed up organizers reportedly hired a p.r. company and the room was filled with young women who told us they were mostly from

eastern europe one of them read the statement she had been handed by organizers i have to date. as. i see. it actually i. was. in was. in anyway when asked by an al-jazeera reporter why they were attending the event some said they were paid. one woman was presented as a senior analyst at a think tank based in washington d.c. but the translator laughed as he reacted to when she asked the united states of america the e.u. and india to stop buying gas from qatar.

similar meetings continue to take place elsewhere in many european countries many of the events are said to have been orchestrated and financed mostly by the saudi led coalition that cut off diplomatic ties with qatar last june accusing doha of violence in extremism there are accusations dismissed by the qatari government as fabricated lies more than eight. since the start of the crisis the u.s. the european union have called all the parties to set their differences aside but the blockade in countries insist. meets a list of thirteen demands that include shutting down al-jazeera media network grading ties with iran and closing a turkish military base the demands were rejected by qatar as violating its

sovereignty. al-jazeera munich we've got plenty more ahead on this news hour it's been seven years since the start of the revolution in libya but has there been any real change for its people. accusations of forceful invasions in kenya's forests with only a fluke few thousand indigenous people left in the end bob forrest. and later in sport roger federer rewrites the tennis history books again until i have that. is all that's going to have a first ethiopia has announced the state of emergency will now be in force for a further six months that's a day after prime minister. said he was stepping down the government's struggling to deal with protests from ethnic groups that feel under represented. mohamed i don't has reported extensively from this region he joins me now in the

studio so hamad first of all the state of emergency what's what's behind that it's going for another six months while well hossam is all about stopping the protests from going on the government has tried many things that release of political prisoners the release of some of the protesters mainly university students who had been arrested by the government they've been released six thousand of them since january but does not stop the protests the resignation of prime minister olmert and as long as he said himself is to pave way for horse reforms so what the government wants to do is to have no protests as they look for someone to succeed prime minister high limit of discipline and who who is that person likely to be what implications is that is that going to have then as they as they look for well if yes if europe is ruled by a coalition of four parties for ethnic party so you can say those parties will

it send four to five delegates to a meeting to be held within days according to sources and it's these one hundred eighty delegates who will eventually. choose who will be the successor of haile mariam dissolute now the stakes are too high and jocelyn for this position is too intense they want some of our contacts are telling us is that the to get a the dominant party within the ruling if you have been people sort of aleutian the context from b.f. may not go for the position of the premium which leaves the other two main groups that is or more on them hala actually the two most populous communities in the country almost say that the most populous the one to have never been there was a wreath utopia the modesty's there the traditional rulers of ethiopia the deputy prime minister from the region and since highly modern design and was elevated from the position of deputy premier it's only fair that their mom becomes the next prime

minister but. everything right now seems to be up in the air and the final edition of course. the to great people's liberation front will have a big say because since they're not running whoever they give their vote during the voting process is going to take the day and give us a sense of well as well of some of the many problems in the country right now the go beyond ethnic tensions economic problems economic struggles that sort of thing economically if europe is doing very well is one of the fastest growing economies in africa it's been battering the whole population dizzying say no and if it's over to you still widespread is a country of one hundred million people and they're still places where the widespread poverty but ethnicity seems to be the biggest problem facing ethiopia today when you look at the political crisis that's on rubbly a decision that was made nearly thirty years ago since to be hunting with you

a lot of creating the control on. the issue of ethnic federalism where regions based on their ethnic groups regions were created based on the mississippi and given their own flags and meant to administer themselves using their one languages which is really in a way top of the country small all right mohamed atta thanks very much. now libyans are marking seven years since the start of the revolution their protests that began in benghazi eventually led to the toppling of colonel mom or dad death in twenty eleven libya has been deeply divided since then in july two thousand and twelve the country held its first free elections in more than forty years the transitional government handed power to the general national congress based in tripoli more elections followed in the house of representatives was formed in twenty fourteen of the gnc refused to give up power in tripoli forcing the house of representatives to

stay in the port city of kabul in may twenty fourth teen after taking charge of the army renegade general khalifa haftar launched an offensive eventually allied himself with the house of representatives but in december twenty fifth the un attempted to broker peace setting up the government of national accord the internationally recognized government took office in early twenty sixteen the fighting continued off to have launched a second offensive mahmud of the what had reports now from the capital tripoli on how political divisions are taking a toll on the lives of many libyans. does not enjoy his business as he once did in the old days he says when the financial situation was a staple in libya he used to have fourteen workers in his shop but not now and the coppersmith hardly gets any orders to make anything new or have the where and sometimes they work here for a whole day and end up with always nothing in our pockets many courts have not come

to pick up the pieces several months because of lack of money libyans have been through a lot over the past seven years two competing bases of dozens of rival groups and conflict and consequently a financial crisis but some here say they have not lost their faith in the revolution and are hoping for change while others say they're disappointed. since twenty eleven many libyans celebrated the anniversary of the seventeenth of february revolution but the country has a slipped into chaos zakaria took part in the twenty a live in protests he says he does not trust politicians. all the politicians have shown their true faces which they hid before the fall of the gadhafi regime they would rather take from the state than give to. others take a different view know to dean says he travels from the united states to libya every

year to share the ok zhen with his friends and former neighbors he says things are better now than before the revolution for it was very difficult to come back to go to the airport today immigration you know and all that stuff now there's a. common leave you know a freely but the situation looks a bleak on the ground prices for every day goods have risen in the markets have taken a tumble and the libyan dinar has lost much of its value. the political division has led to a divide between the economic and security institutions the state has become so weak it's unable to control its own resources. are the backbone of libya's income and oil production dropped significantly between twenty thirteen and twenty sixteen when four major oil ports were blockaded by militia. nobody is proud his profession

is part of libya's heritage but he fears if there is no solution to the country's economic crisis crafts like his might fade away. tripoli. senior analyst. joins us now on skype from london thanks for being with us so let me ask you first of all how would you assess. the progress or if any at this point from the libyan seven years on from the toppling of moammar gadhafi. i think it's a very mixed picture that we get from. looking at where the country is now seventy years after the revolution i see a mixed picture because obviously it's we need to acknowledge the political progress of the country has made in terms of freedoms in terms of if you like the

beginning of a democratic process and obviously libya and. i'm not a good duffy it was a very bleak place to live in but on the other hand it's also important to recognize and to admit that the country is going through a very difficult crisis both from an economic and security point of view the lives of libyans have actually deteriorated become much harder than they were before and most importantly there is no indication or sign that the peace process is moving forward that the two parties that you mean sides are actually coming closer together and they are working on a solution to this is wish and so if you like we could say that yes libyans are happy that gadhafi is not there anymore but they're definitely for straight ahead and disenchanted with what happened after the revolution do you think that the many

of the major powers western powers that aided the the uprising in two thousand and eleven with the airstrikes and military assistance should have done more to deal with the aftermath. of what happened and rather than because the perception is that they they kind of left libyans to to pick up the mess after that do you think there's any truth to that. there's no question that the europeans and americans and the americans share i pleased partial responsibility in what happened happened after two thousand and eleven and i'm saying and they're lining the at least part here because obviously they were behind the revolution they intervened in the two thousand and eleven uprising and then they left thinking that the problem with previous interventions in iraq and afghanistan was in their presence was the fact that they had boots on the ground for too long however they didn't calculate they

didn't see that their leaving libya in the state where the country was in after more than forty years of dictatorship no civil society allowed no space for political expression and then there was no structure in place not framework in place to actually take the reins of the revolution in the transition and lead libya to a democratic outcome to a more stable outcome so the fact that really france the u.k. and the u.s. did not really assist in the transition is i would say one of the main factors behind the current crisis and the collapse of the libyan democratic transition record if i be any good speaker you can. now thousands of people from an indigenous forest community in kenya are accusing the government of forcefully evicting them from their ancestral land saying why indigenous people live in the am bobbled

forest in the western highlands of kenya they've been targets of violence and threats from the kenya forest service catherine sawyer has more from the embattled forest in western kenya. this is ember boot forest in western kenya it's part of a large ecosystem called the chairing on the heels forest one of the most important what are catchment areas in the country and a source of livelihood to millions of people downstream yet look at this century old trees recently set on fire it's not clear by whom but forest warden say thousands of acres of the forest have over the years been destroyed by people living here illegally grazing farming logging and binding chalk. streams that supply water to lakes and rivers are running dry and it's become a hideout for cattle thieves but in this forest also leaves the scent where community traditionally the hunters gather us and they say ember books is that

ancestral home they are keeping huge hundreds of lifestyle sheep car truck sometimes even goats and goats are not allowed in the forest by law the farming we are seeing and cautious. listed thomas has refused to leave she says her house was banned down by forest guards in december now she spends her days hiding from them alyssa tells us this place keeps her safe from forest guards and raiders from a rival community during the day she cooks here that night she is everything space to sleep she says it keeps how warm but obviously it doesn't protect her from the rain the rainy season is about to start and many more people deep inside the forest also living rough in crevices and other open spaces after their homes are destroyed i have six children who are now staying with a neighbor outside the forest if i leave my animals here will be stolen what's

going on in amber's boot puts to focus the delicate balance of conserving their environment and protecting the rights of indigenous communities. last year they'll get another forest community one a landmark case of the african court and human and people's rights judges ruled they had the rights to leave in and help conserve another important water tower the mile forest forced evictions are not a right or imposed on people. it's in the context of across a racial project this is what i i mean by human rights based the courts the environment protection something where families were compensated by the state in twenty thirteen to pull you into really moved out but they now say the money was not enough to buy land police the town says her family got nothing and social state puts and protects her cattle no matter the consequences catherine saudi oil jazeera and book forest west and can. in

a few moments we'll have the weather with richard but first still ahead on the edge the cost of us prime minister calls on all countries to recognize the state as it celebrates ten years of independence from serbia. the promise of a new dawn we've got reaction to south african presidents iran opposed his first state of the nation address. and later as for peter will be here with details such as tiger woods struggles to make the cut on the p.g.a. tour. in the brain. or off the coast of the italian riviera. well heavy rain in the levant in the middle east is unusual during the winter months but we have seen quite an active system developing over the last

a few hours says great massive cloud associated with a frontal system with another area of low pressure on the eastern side of the mediterranean now baghdad seems to have borne the brunt of the really heavy rain average during february is about nineteen millimeters lots the whole month of february but we've had some like forty two millimeters falling in the space of thirty hours and like many cities as part of the region when the rain comes down there's really nowhere for it to go so flooding is quite a problem as you can see you know there's a bit of a gap now developing but i think there could be more in the way of heavy rain coming back once again so there's the current situation the rain having cleared towards more northern parts of iraq but it's this area of low pressure has given some really heavy rain and strong winds across parts of syria and lebanon which we moving in and that systems also going to give me some snow for high elevations into eastern parts of turkey up towards the cocoa says but you see it also pushes through baghdad so we're going to see more heavy rain returning here some heavy

rain further towards the east but but some to get through towards monday the weather across the region should be quite in down. the weather sponsored by cat time release. monitor the truck i want to follow i'm valued to see the new car for. your data your identity is a commodity and we have to understand where i'm from the come from our sleep it's time to reclaim our cyber so we have to put in them a something that cannot be sold we are creators we are archivists we are. give us back our data at this time on a zero hour was always telling you how famous he was going to make that's how he presented hello my name without the city's northwest representatives kind of. teacher who. actually do you remember that we're on the special meeting about the nail and he said no. that's not i do you mean this is

a cover you know piece on the mainland city al jazeera investigation. of silence this time. and again you're watching al-jazeera reminder of our top stories this. u.k. prime minister to raise a maze calling for a new security treaty with the european union by the end of next year and he's been speaking on the second day of the munich security conference she says the new agreement would ensure military and intelligence cooperation continues after the u.k. leaves the bloc. ethiopia's government says

a state of emergency will now be in force for six months following the sudden resignation a prime minister. saying the government is struggling to deal with protests from ethnic groups. they feel under represented. the f.b.i. has indicted thirteen russian nationals and three russian companies over alleged tampering with the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election they're accused of a criminal and espionage conspiracy to support donald trump's campaign. let's take a closer look at what's being alleged in that indictment that same petersburg based internet research agency is listed as a major target of the investigation it is said to have undertaken operations to interfere with elections and political processes or it's also known as the troll factory and it's accused of manipulating social media in the u.s. and staging political rallies in support of donald trump while attacking the reputation of hillary clinton yevgeny pretty goshen is named in that indictment he

is a close associate of russian president vladimir putin and one of russia's richest men he is listed as financing the troll factories operations twelve other individuals are also named accused of undertaking work in the united states to further the firm's objectives oh you just love much as of is a former russian diplomat he joins us now from moscow so. i'm not sure if you've had a time had time to look at this indictment and what it is alleging but what do you make of it. well. any decisions made by us today by of the united states about the russian punishment. because it has become in the russia like another story and other news story and it was only a reaction over russian society on the it not blaming those people who are in the

least black the least of us in the united states on the contrary the united states more and more itself in the russian society as a. enemy and as a contrarian that in danger russian society as i see it is a wrong policy. it is result of america view on the world as a pariah the interest of america or russians doesn't like it or gail russia has zero internal problem internal brome and visit in uganda. but a russian knows that all of this barrage and internal programs are trying to use against a russia as a state it's a big difference i seeing that calming no elections of president or of the russian

federation it will be march to eighteen we'll give our answer i seeing that day not sending image of putin in saigon on how they got it or if i could just jump in here but mobilize this if i could just jump in here for a moment because it sounds like you're saying that this is all politically motivated on the part of of the united states klug zat what do you what do you make of the allegations themselves in this indictment are you saying that the whole thing is false the whole thing is made up. well i can see though that the united states doesn't understand properly their russian society or russia or mind they have quite a lot of eduardo's it rises even from a former her. advisors of mr putin on the lottery or not finding it that hot dry you know you talk about you talk about the dilemma what americans trying to enter russian society and i'm not

sure what you mean by that because this indictment is specifically accusing russians of entering american society in full infiltrating that through social media. posing as political operatives and all of the rest of it it goes into this in quite a lot of detail so what i'm asking is are you refuting all of that i consider that it is a not ordinary gaze because in the in the century that we are leaving today central internet and satellite t.v. and many other that means of communication not controlled what's better and so on it is not defined and even the change of people it's well it's not a russia insist on open it for him to do is to. bring out all the regulations on the borders but in this world we have

full up what you need to do is look the united states should. not of. should not cry it's. confronting in such kind of cases our heart understand that all over again it is only going to have to have to law we can have all the heroin thanks very much thanks very much for being with us we had just left much as entering staff from moscow. the people in kosovo are marking ten years since declaring independence from serbia after years of conflict in a civil war that claimed thousands of lives but it's been a struggle marked by high unemployment and rampant corruption although independence is recognized by the u.s. in many european countries still not recognized by russia serbia and china kosovo's prime minister has told al jazeera that has to change all those investments military political financial or all those who gave them and makes

it is very rational to keep it still unfinished business so we have lost a lot of farms so that. today it's that on tomorrow's that line but we don't have any more years for this because your last two decades on this topic what's going to happen you know in the future depends a lot of them on cars as leaders and they have to make a bigger focus on things like move law dealing with the unemployment rate and having better relationships with their neighboring countries. serbia and montenegro . or andrew symonds joins us live now from pristina and course of us andrew what are the prospects there for full recognition of kosovo now. well how some you could tell from the political temperature of two interviews there

how much things are hotting up with this landmark event this tenth anniversary but it is of course nearly two decades since the war and still no formal recognition from serbia and i like sound of the president of serbia on the eve of the celebrations which has yet to take a take place starting quite soon did warn of a frozen conflict in his words he spoke of the need for compromise he spoke of the need for political goodwill for hear from pristina as well as from serbia it's very likely there will be a referendum. the way that they would make a decision on whether they would concede in order to get e.u. membership and this is the key area whether serbia will make concessions in order to get e.u. membership but there are so many other aspects to this many complicated moving parts including the wooding of the you suggesting that there has to be an

acceptance of serbia's independence in order for serbia to actually join the e.u. so that's the political position it's impossible to answer your question in terms of timeframes you'd be very brave to guess that one but aside from all of political focus there's also a looking back a look at the losses in the war at the sacrifices from both sides now we went to recheck the place where there was an atrocity and we spoke to one of only five survivors from a mass killing in which the lives of forty five people were lost. it's a war he's grown used to over the years. still can't comprehend why he lived and his brother died neither men had been fighters they were kosovar albanian and that was a death sentence for those buried here young and old. this

happened within the reach of unarmed european observers but the serbs blocked their access roma shabani and others had been rounded up in this yard. pretty hard to stop or to talk to in the hall as you can see first of all they threw grenades and opened fire on the house people were screaming especially the kids who i was laid out and beaten just here then we were ordered to leave in that direction with our hands behind our heads. like the others ram a follow directions coming up here stopping to light a cigarette and then haring shooting he ran in that direction and the rest had come along here and they'd fallen into a trap they call this the red trail paint marks the spots where blood stains belongings and foreign bodies had been found and it was all exposed by this figure from what i personally saw i do not hesitate to describe the

event as a massacre obviously a crime very much against humanity william walker's words started a diplomatic trail leading to nato's intervention the bombing of serbian military targets and there were civilian casualties. i could read this young man believes the conflict was worth it but byron high res e who was six when his eighteen year old brother was shot dead says many of kosovo's leaders a noun neglecting his village and others like it. if we compare rhetorics contribution to the cost of postage i think the authorities have not paid off our sacrifice so many young people attend university degrees only to be unemployed economic development to stifle every heist in our village has a person who's migrated to support their family it's the view of many kosovar albanians ten years of independence hasn't carried with it good fortune for all
