the nature of news as it breaks follow thousands of women have reported rape and other sexual atrocities in south sudan where threats are going to say that figure is likely much higher with detailed coverage nearly fifty schools took part in the drive each one responsible had her liking a different kind of school supplies clothing from around the world the sable focal is still very new head but the players are very confident they won't be able to leave gaza maybe one day like on the international stage. in one thousand nine hundred forty eight the state of israel was proclaimed. palestine was lost. sixteen years later in one thousand nine hundred sixty four the palestine liberation organization or the p.l.o. was founded. made up of different factions the p.l.o.

has been at the heart of the struggle to regain palestine ever since. expelled from jordan and then eleven on the p.l.o. seemed to be running out of options. forced into a corner its leader yasser arafat soon found himself in gauged in a fratricidal fight for the control of the p.l.o. and for his life. with the withdrawal of the bulk of its forces from beirut the p.l.o. was in limbo once again few out of countries wanted to welcome thousands of

palestinian fighters for the first time the p.l.o. was existence in exile would be without the military force that had characterized it stays in jordan and lebanon the price of defeat in beirut soon appeared before out of the weakened p.l.o. leader found himself under attack from palestinian leaders within the p.l.o. and even from within his own father faction. the critics said artifact style of leadership was too autocratic and they accused him of abandoning the revolution by evacuating beirut and seeking going to go sheeted settlement. yes i offered to lead to any argument that got the stock yes and arafat wants to abandon the struggle we want to continue about he came to damascus and attempted a coup in fatah to kill the revolution which we want to preserve. arafat has sold out because he is no longer interested in the revolution. syria which had always wished to make the p.l.o. subservient to its will sought to exploit out of fats vulnerability.

every defeat has a price and the part of the price was the split at the time syria tried to settle a school with the p.l.o. leadership. what transpired was a syrian attempt to dominate palestinian decision making that should direct fearing intervention or through serious palestinian tool that was met with a result of defense of independence of palestinian decision making. the syrian intervention found a fertile breeding ground of differences and power struggles with them further. and you have a medal for the s.s.e. if that if mr. arafat's birth is a direct responsibility for that split in the p.l.o. there were two choices that arafat's made the choice that there exist in swirls futile. palestinian opponents start a fight for breakaway groups splitting from out of for its main front

a faction one group called itself fatah and the father syria and libya were only too willing to support the rebels. the tensions within the p.l.o. were rising the battle lines of a fratricidal struggle were beginning to appear. and. let it affect there might be objectively speaking in the beginning the demands made to arafat's were just demands and possible to realize i presented them to him he said he could accept them but he distrusted the intentions of his opponents and i conveyed his acceptance to fatah intifada it was very obvious that they had no intention to arrive at an understanding i was convinced of there was a conspiracy and the other split serve the interest of certain our countries it was a joint syria libyan decision. hona but that that that was what. we called for a dialogue to resolve the differences between both wings of fact that was rejected

by arafat's components in fact to have until. they thought they could take complete control of fact then the other hand arafat's fatah had was initially receptive to our proposal. arafat's arch rival abu nidal quickly allied himself with the anti out of fact faction. in april of one nine hundred eighty three at a meeting in portugal the abu nidal organization assassinated by some subtle we three leading p.l.o. moderate and artifact representative who had been negotiating with his radio. israeli leadership on peres also in attendance was left alone are. enough to. a. week or so i thought was a sasin later on also him in tunis and i asked him why he hadn't also shot that is he said he's orders to kill some thought we only saw one day i hope to write an article about abu nidal and i would call it who is

a traitor the murderer or the victim the victim was innocent and honorable a man who knew where his people's interest lay but the murderer was a tool and a traitor abu nidal discredited the palestinian cause in the eyes of the world when in one thousand nine hundred five two of his european cells attacked rome and vienna airports killing eighteen and wounding a hundred and forty people. a cia document at the time claimed that abu nidal had not attacked a single israeli target back here. back in june one thousand nine hundred three when it was syria declared on a shuttle persona non-grata and expelled him from damascus the break was cement. so what's going on now. as you see you have to go there on the field and just have a go said it's going to. do you mean exactly as a. met. there were you know i am very. i have

a meeting here after the meeting i really want meeting with no. and with everything and the president here you have to leave it there. i respect that you have to wait and see. i think the commander. going on now only thing is going in an extent way ok ok thank you for their. fame and initiative back. you need. not be a. boss to be out of. it out either the minute i say do it out to be. a minute a minute than. what the new book the studio.

when they met on the roof. we had better be more upright so what if. this issue of those but no one can harm fatah fatah is very strong and no one can harm its leadership or unity we cannot be dictated to it would be very easy to get on a plane and go and surrender to syrian president. i assure you if i did that both the problems on the factions would vanish but we are against this for the sake of our people and the dignity of this movement and this model kind of he said. half as a last side had grand strategic calculations he wanted the palestinian issue is his to god and preserve there is no such thing as the independence of palestinian decision making in the syrian lexicon. syria's foreign minister once told me so and we had a palestine something serious. in july nine hundred eighty three fighting broke out

in the bekaa valley in lebanon between pro and anti out a front force on a fact now faced an armed revolt against his authority by pro series elements within the p.l.o. . i felt loyalists who had found their way back to lebanon were besieged by the syrian army and its palestinian allies in the city of tripoli in norfolk overnight . in a daring there in sea journey from his new headquarters into the sea or out of that managed to slip into tripoli in disguise and join its. pro syrian palestinians responded immediately. i mean motel. daddy yeah what activity and get in for this thing any. did the having it in for. what the. what do you find the now.

well. why did he well. enough see why shaaban finest cluny human. the defense of tripoli was led by artifacts deputy. that they're known as abu jihad it's so they met that over the city and decision this is he rejected the description of the ongoing battle as a purely palestinian affair you're seeing this out of what's think is that it's the bank from the syrian army you see you can look you can follow it it's. just be fair you see it if it is said coming from the city i'm not a museum them and they are to. see it in command but as you see. on a factual prominence kept up that tax claim they have the support among palestinians in the occupied territory of us. looking to meet with that and what we can see that

yasser arafat used to be a symbol for our people but the people are beginning to gradually see the truth and realize what is happening to this person who is interested as a fighter for the independence of palestinian decision making is now abusing his position to make. such claims were not borne out by facts on the ground palestinians in the west bank in gaza rallied around on a fact who expressed the philosophical view of the ongoing conflict you have to understand what the meaning of the war is a loud voice for. the loud voice of politics was taking a heavy toll on the residents of truth. faced with mounting pressure to end the conflict saudi arabia's foreign minister traveled to damascus and announced an agreement had been reached and hostilities and evacuating out of us forces from tripoli. we have. reached an agreement. here

based on the two principles that. you should read to these principles weird. prevent. any destruction of the city of tripoli and stop the fighting between the factions tripoli and call for the withdrawal of of armed force and a syrian armed forces out of tripoli. these principles have been enunciated in this . in this document. the united nations made arrangements for out of fat and four thousand of his fighters to depart the coastal lebanese city on board five green shifts. following his second expulsion from lebanon on a fact once more defined the enforced exile as another step towards victory this is

a part of the long march. out independent. states to. the other cup that palestine got us anything beyond the rhetoric out of five seemed to spend twice. what the elusive palestinian leader had another card up his sleeve. shorter friends out of fact traveled to cairo to meet egyptian president hosni mubarak it was a bold and dramatic act out of fact became the first arab leader to meet an egyptian president since former president and were said that had signed a peace treaty with israel in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine the arab world was thunderstruck. he thought long and hard but do not imagine that it was an easy decision for him or he knew that he would antagonize the fact leadership now because he didn't consult them and he knew that

syria will grant him a traitor and the end as he always did made the decision because he was convinced that it served a higher interest of the palestinian people. but he was fully aware of the disks it entailed and that the people who loved and supported him find it incomprehensible i thought to visit was a diplomatic coup for mubarak and in subsequent years egypt would increasingly become the p.l.o. his main patron out of touch opponents within the p.l.o. accused him of betraying the palestinian cause syria castigated him as a traitor under attack out of fat sort of political refuge with his former adversary king hussein of jordan since the p.l.o. is expulsion from jordan relations between the two leaders had always been an easy but out of fact and king hussein now came together in an uneasy alliance the king allowed the palestinian parliament in exile to convene in the jordanian capital

amman in one nine hundred eighty four. this proved a lifeline to affect his ability to convene the palestine national council with the required one allowed him to maintain the legitimacy of his leadership of the p.l.o. . that. we look for locations to hold the p. and c. meeting there were suggestions of holding it on board the ship it was the session of the p. and c. hadn't taken place the p.l.o. wouldn't have finished and tell us any legitimacy last so in spite of our reservations it was convenient. the jordanian p.l.o. repr small led to the signing of the i-man accord in february one thousand nine hundred five according to its terms the p.l.o. and jordan would form a joint delegation to future negotiations for resolving the out of israeli conflict syria opposed the accord and sought to exact retribution four out of five small

once again eleven on was the battleground. the syrian backed a militia and and the other factions besieged the palestinian refugee camps in beirut and southern lebanon. the camps were subjected to an on and off siege and onslaught for the next three years. and i can look at that of them all and let it out that that. could not have become involved had the syrians not asked them that a quest was made to several lebanese but is that the client to have that is possibility of shedding palestinian blood on their hands and accepted the task the fighting and the how doing experiences for the refugees would be termed the camps war. there what criminals there two. palestinian women were being shot in the head as they went for water deliberate. on those criminals out

walking around us among us today i can remember the savitri i can remember one day . with so many imo were firing so many machine guns i mean you know weapons into the camp. that there was a rustling sound like. they go probably. and it took me several minutes to realize what it was they were firing so many bullets that the bullets were touching each other in the air as they were going into the camp walls of steel all touching each other all the rustling like silk being torn up you know one hair was shot in the leg as she was trying to bring in food through the answers that they now call the death and another lady here who has affected him she was shot in the head they're forced to go out still to bring in food and almost every day women are shot comparisons were being drawn between the subbranch shatila

massacres and the new camps war. the law that. said that war was very bloody and lasted a long time the massacres perpetrated against the palestinian people in that war well worse than sabra and shatila massacre it was a wholesale destruction and indiscriminate killing. the ama leadership should apologize to the palestinian people if you genuinely wants closure we have a record of everything names and numbers they managed to crawl in from outside they were also from outside they call it in as the sand hills and this is the second time that these girls are planning to come in in this way.

because. it was. on the up and down it was. going to. we feel that nobody's feeling but the. suffering here is just the siege to continue killing the people i can't see any political future or any. victories for those who are ceding because. or even three can say that our people inside the camp is not looking for victory just looking for peace and to live in a secure and of

a life long way and i hope that the world around us can hear this for us and try to help our people to lift the siege. and in fact suffered a further blow when israeli warplanes raided his p.l.o. headquarters in tunisia killing one hundred sixty people. yet again artifacts survived. the p.l.o. leader continued to be elusive in political matters as well jordan's repeated attempts to induce him to honor the terms of the man accords proved futile associates a place of see as it were clear chairman arafat was a mecurio personality but he never kept any agreement he made with an arab country if he found a more lucrative offer elsewhere. with the amen accords he would place the term confederation or the term twinning as in twins. but this term has no basis in

international law it was the beginning of the end of the a man accords mckenna shot a firth and though. it was a we feel that the fed had no real intention to commit to the ongoing that it was more of a maneuver than a real attempt at finding a solution i went to him to sign a document pertaining to the amount of calls i asked for some time to come for with a p.l.o. leadership left and didn't return so we had a joke about him in the way it were shuttled me and forcing me from this. having had enough jordan announced the abrogation of the man accords almost one year after they had been signed the jordanian severely curtailed the activities of the p.l.o. and expelled abu jihad. oversell this fight to here to do this even a. statement that was made public by one of the members of the cabinet in jordan.

the dane ten to close twenty four. out of that dirty to be a law office in jordan. to put more strict shoes on day activities of the p.l.o. . egypt. we are not in the oil cage as some are thinking if we are in lebanon or in jail or been having some problems in syria that will not put an end for the p.l.o. or for a palestinian state that we are still alive every word as people who are still alive in our occupied territories facing the israeli occupation despite jordanian frustration many palestinians believe don i thought had accomplished a masterly story to fuck a man a bit in the ass out of the man accords was a brilliant tactical maneuver executed by yes i refer that he used it to gain some

breathing space he established relations with jordan signed the agreement and then abrogated it. i was expecting its condition from the good job that i got as far out of found himself he feigned ignorance as to want to go wrong but it seemed that spite of or a lot of thought still cordell and. insisting that don't exist or because which would effect fit in data or directly. your definition that addiction. but i'd have to pay the price of his political maneuver at an arab summit in amman in one thousand nine hundred seventy king hussein refused to receive the palestinian leader at the airport as well as this diplomatic snub the palestinian issue was relegated to the periphery of the agenda and in fact departed claiming he was satisfied with the results of the summit but he appeared to have reached the limits of his tactical capabilities. but as before the p.l.o.

leader from the lifeline. it was to come from an unexpected source. after decades of oppression the palestinians did living in the occupied territories use their words.

a beleaguered identify paying the price for his political maneuvering. now desperate for american recognition and observe your clique denounce. goodies how did the p.l.o. find strength and support from their own life for oppressed palestinians living in the occupied territories chronicling the turbulence during the struggle for a palestinian homeland p.l.o. history of a revolution on al-jazeera. to
