which started very much like this and it up becoming 79 days of protests people living on the streets and blocking the heart of the city this time though there is a sense that the chinese government will have very little patience with these protesters and the hong kong government is in a hurry to purse through that controversial law still ahead on al-jazeera a russian journalist accused of dealing drugs as his charges dropped in a rare are you trying by authorities. in mexico sends troops to with southern border in a bid to stop migration flows into the u.s. . hello there we're seeing yet more showers i reports of turkey really having fairly unsettled hay recently and you can see more cloud with us at the moment and that

groups in the north some of those linked to al-qaeda and the islamic state has led to the prevalence of weapons and banditry spreading into the central region and also an absence of the state in the central region many state officials fled because of that conflict there's a lack of state security forces it's all so that's led to somewhat of a power vacuum in the security in terms of security and that along with the prevalence of arms in these very old conflicts rising tensions lead to a kind of lethal mix that led to the kind of intercommunal violence that we're seeing now all right thank you a 5 year old boy has died of the ebola virus new gondar the world health organization has confirmed 2 other cases and convened an emergency meeting there the 1st detected in uganda since last year's outbreak in neighboring democratic republic of congo which kills hundreds of people victoria getting the reports. it's

hello and welcome to the program i'm dennis now ethnic tension is threatening to further destabilize mali valances wessling in the long running dispute between the dog and the felony peoples and armed groups linked to al qaida are exploiting this village home to dog on farmers was attacked by men armed with machetes and guns at least 95 people were killed sunday's attack is remarkably similar to the ransacking of a full lonny village that was in march and where nearly 160 people died nicholas hoch has more now from ali's capital bamako where the silence is deafening the smell of dead bodies hangs low in the air. the attack on the doggone village of

sudan a coup started at dusk and went on deep into the night if you survived hiding as their loved ones were being killed now that the 10 day images circled the village and shot everything done move so every were people who were screaming trudel war screw me who tried to run were shut down the survivors believe they know who the killers are it is their full on the neighbors they say both communities have been fighting each other for control over land. armed groups have called on full on these to join their ranks accusing the government of backing doggone militias. ethnic tension is at breaking point with each community calling for revenge attacks in this spiral of violence both communities are fleeing their homes it is in this open air slaughter house on the outskirts of the capital that some philosophies have sought refuge. all of the people living under this tent share one bowl of rice

and millet children show clear signs of malnutrition there is not enough water to go around so there is the threat of water borne diseases this is where they sleep eat and cook despite the calls for peace one is continued to be the victims of violence president ibrahim burger king says the country's national unity is under threat. i would like to call on all our brothers to keep calm and stay rational more than ever. while the 14000 u.n. soldiers in mali and forces on the ground failed to prevent these killings don't go on hunters call this latest attack on their community a declaration of war saying revenge will come nicholas hawk al jazeera bhaumik oh molly. well there are many layers to this into ethnic conflicts the philosophy on a medic herders who mostly raise cattle while the dog and they are mainly farmers they've

clashed for generations over grazing land and resources groups like torah obsessed protests al qaeda and i still have all exploited these tensions to expand their own influence into the 13 french and other african troops entered mali to try to restore stability around 4000 french soldiers remain and 14000 u.n. peacekeepers are in northern mali mali's government in the capital bamako has often been described as weak and ineffective now here's what the chief of the dugong people in mali told al-jazeera every community i could is the other community. because we really don't know. why these attacks are going on. and who attacks.

if duggan is attacked he say that it's therefore only go if iran is attacked they say it is don imus that will double in hunters and the government is not capable of playing full read it's a rule. thank you well let's introduce our panel now in the emmy the arion capital we have ibrahim yahya ibraheem he's a consulting analyst with the international crisis group in london paul mellie a consulting fellow at chatham house an international affairs think tank and in all slow the norwegian capital we have tall binyam incertain a professor of political ecology at the norwegian university of life sciences thank you to you all let me come to you 1st ibrahim in the m.e. this is a complex come conflict is that as we've just alluded to tensions between the

different ethnic groups have been have been there for as long as there have been settlements why are we experiencing an upsurge in violence now in recent years. well thank you very much this is a killer good question there are there have been tension between the gone thunder line is. since 1000 years ago the dissent this. tension involved over time exacerbated because of. the tension over natural resources more control over natural resources but particularly in the last 5 to 6 years because of the upsurge of you had a sense urgency in the region. doggone most of the jihadists are associated with pearl felonies and that you had did that. that they needed to protect

themselves from islands perpetrated by that you had. some of them created or insurance or they use those militias in order to every game and that would have to go too far ahead in this i'm trying to go through this step by step because it is such a such a complex situation that we're trying to analyze let me now go to tour in also told give us an idea briefly if you will about the conditions in central mali that the various communities are experiencing abraham is referred to there being diminishing resources and that obviously exacerbating tensions between groups. well actually. you know including some tamale has been renamed during the last that it's well i don't think there is a situation of general diminishing resources that's not good for something it's the course the courses are political and the courses are related to the general crisis the general political crisis in mali it's true that there have been tensions

between these fruits for decades if not centuries but there have been cooperation as well and a situation that's never been a spot between these groups ask me what we see now so this is related to the that just general political price assume all of us sort of in 2012 which house and i think the courses are quite well known there are in my opinion there are at least 4 horses and there are the the general the governance and corruption that causes priest in mali during the last decade or 2. there is the the spillover effect from the the civil war it in the area that lent jihad distance the movement to do not in mali new rarely do thousands leading to. the hijacking op of the westerners the increase of drug trafficking in the sahara and there is the fallout of the nato bombing in libya in late 2011 which led to.

a large number of. tourists soldiers and ploy being cut off his army right back mom ali heavily armed but the general background that we don't need to understand these are right it's look. let's come to you pull tours already flagged up what the contributing factors are to this conflict tell us about the pole government policies i mean development aid is critical isn't that full this region well for the whole country actually why has the government been so ineffective in delivering development aid. well the government has really not been able or not managed to restore effective state services in the center of mali ever since the crisis really reached its peak in 201112 with the jihadist takeover of the far north and although the area of central mali that we're talking

about today is outside of the zone that the jihad ists actually occupied it's very close to it and it was highly destabilized by the aftereffects of that conflict and this tour mention the circulation of weapons. and also the influence of the jihad is groups some of them in the north linked up with i'm a dooku for a preacher actually in central mali and in that sort of climate it's been very insecure in the state has really struggled to reestablish effective services or even effective security for several years now military posts local police posts local officials providing public services have regularly been targeted with killings and and also with threats so that many people many officials have

preferred to retreat to the main towns or even to balloch of feeling that it was too unsafe to remain in post so the state is go weak and that's left is a bit of a gap so the structures in which public services could be provided or justice for resolving disputes. the administration could sort out some of the longstanding competition over resources which is inevitable in any sallying country. that that state structure has just crumbled away and there's been quite weak political rush it ok from president cater all right at weak politike. leadership coming from president k. to abraham in near me but there are walks 14018000 international troops both u.n. and french stationed in in mali not to mention the the mali an army itself why can't they protect the people of this country. but well for support the

international forces are deployed mostly in the not so the municipal forces the u.n. peacekeeping forces that operate there operate there largely operated to stabilize the northern part of the country that has been in crisis since 2012 now there is discussions in new york about expanding. operations or intensifying operations of the u.n. peacekeeping missions in the center but we have to wait and see how this would operate because there are a lot of other issues that need to be sorted out there are the french forces that are also operating in the region but also focusing on the not now they are called for them to engage in the central part of the region but there are reluctance about expanding the activities because all these forces have a limited capacity they cannot continue to stretch themselves over large

territories. because there is a risk of them to not be protected anywhere that mali an army also has a lot of logistics problems so we see that the tension is popping up in different places throughout the central part of the region and the focus of the international community is in the lot of tandem island government is an able to stabilize the center because of the logistical issues right i'm told would it be fair to say that resulting the situation in mali ok not an easy thing but would it be fair to say that it is being hindered by the fact that it's being viewed through the prism of the so-called war on terror the fight against extremism in that certainly have the french see the situation in mali isnt it. i think i think they certainly do see it in those terms as far as the situation in the far north is concerned but i think it britain is right to point out that these international forces up to now have been

very heavily concentrated in the north and specifically on fighting jihad is groups it's quite a and and of course with the un peacekeeping force trying to maintain the balance between the former separatists the formants weyrich separatists and militias favorable to the mali and government and all of that was in the north shifting their emphasis to a much more hearts and minds civil engagement process of policing and stabilization in the center of the country which is more densely populated is it is a quite different quite different task i don't think it would be fair to say that. they've been trying to apply aggressive antiterrorism tactics in the center they haven't people are aware of that risk so it's not it's not so much case of. a sort of simplistic war on terror probe since just that up to now the french focus has

been on war on terror the un focus has been on what you would call post conflict peacekeeping and protecting its own forces against attacks for example roadside bombs and that kind of thing in the north and shifting to a much wider stabilization and peace building mission in the center of the country is a very different ask especially when you're trying to not undermine the or forests in the capacity of the over already very weak molly in state. they've been interviews for example with french forces in recent media coverage where they pointed out that they don't want to replace the money in state they don't want to create a situation where local communities assume that the government is unable to do anything and the only. international law says can provide security so it's a really difficult balance to strike right ok top it sounds very much as so from

the year 2012 that the crisis in mali has moved to change and that the the response both both domestic both local and international has not responded with it and it's like being so far behind and it's civilians who are paying the price i just want to know that it's difficult to imagine and way out of this in all somali without actually there being legacy issues between the government and the various rebel groups on the and then including all rebel groups also the various a jihad is for now as this is framed as a fight against terrorism there is a reluctance both within the maliki government although i have seen that the new. the new minister of foreign affairs now is in favor of action they want certain religions but the president and most of the government has been against their will certainly the jihadist muscles of the national community been my think that. even

though it's painful i think probably need to change right. and most of these people joined this organization they are not one you know now not there for religious reasons now for now for basically to sustain their livelihoods to do so why it's it's leads to. a struggle for right and control of the resources lot of the religious right this is him coming back to you this is a scenario that we've seen in other parts of the region i'm thinking particularly of nigeria and recruitment to buckle her arm ranks this is about young men for the most part to whom who need a future basically you the international crisis group i think that you also support the idea of dialogue that think that the government needs to enter into some sort of dialogue but tell me if there is this reluctance to engage with some of the groups involved some of the groups who want to separate state and islamic state how

on earth what on earth do they have to negotiate about. that's a very good question and we just published a report last week about calling for the government to engage in dialogue with this groups and the reason why we thought that dialogue and this is necessary because there are no any good options to do with and the situation is getting worse that attack of us obama. 2 days ago is good evidence of that so in the lack of good options with think that dialogue is a possible way to open up new opportunities because right now we are stuck there is we are in this situation of mutually help hurt and stamets between the government and the jihad is now what to dialogue about we think that 1st of all it's the idea of opening the dialogue and then thinking about ways of compromise between the position of the of the jihadists which is to consider the money and sisters to

sions as an islamic to consider the relationship of those in countries as also an islamic and need to to be changed and considered and muslims who do not agree with them on certain issues to not to be not muslim enough so they're calling to establish ariel and to remind me and we know that the maliki government is deeply engaged is deeply engaged in democracy and protecting its constitution but we think that there are ways that on both side we can find compromises for example the idea of having added that. a judge would overturn issues which is already things that are ongoing in the ground most people today in mopti prefer to go to the traditional judge which is the abbey rather than go to the judge the government's judge we think that reform in the justice system that considered a cabbie in certain capacity to look over certain things is

a good compromise that could be accepted or. we also consider about what i mixed school reform of couldn't exclude in the in. can be something that is welcomed by both sides and both have could benefit from it but there are only a few ideas that will put forward in order to tick off those question every how have you have it have you had any results sorry to interrupt have you had any response from the government yet yes we did. today is up to the public in general but report them a little government. in one of the ministers in the malian government came out and say that they've the government is ready to engage in dialogue of this and of course you didn't options in order to engage with them ok paul so a slight note of optimism perhaps coming from abraham in the international crisis group but underpinning all of this seems to be

a profound disconnect if you like between the states and the people at the government itself has got to has got to connect reconnect with its population do you think that there is a an awareness and a capacity for the government in bamako to do this. i think there is certainly more capacity than there was because one of the things that was striking in the mali crisis back in 5 or 6 years ago when the jihad is took over the north was that although mali had been seen as a mobile democracy by the international community and in fact by the rest of west africa actually the state authority crumbled very easily in the north election turnouts in many parts of the country had been falling there was a sense that the if you like the political elite the administrative ily technocratic people in bamako had lost touch with the needs and

concerns of people very much at local level and for several years after the french intervention when the jihad is were put pushed back in the north the mali in government didn't really seem to evolve very much there was a sense of a recognition of the need to really change the system but in the last year or so there has been more of a recognition and we've now just seen recently the formation of a of what is almost a national government with the main opposition parties agreeing the main opposition alliance agreeing to come into the government so the new foreign minister for example was one of the fiercest critics of president kate a the 2 and we have a prime minister a new prime minister who seems to grasp the need for a much more deep seated effort to try and get government properly engaged and that may because there was a notable lack of political leadership probably from about 2012 certainly from 2013

through to about 2016 the government seemed distant seemed to think that the northern crisis was really the affair of the international forces and didn't really seem to rise too much that there was a crisis in the center of mali that's now changed. talk coming to you now there does seem to have been a heavy dependence upon military responses to the various crises in mali do you think it's helpful to have the presence of so many foreign forces in the country i know that there the g. 5. combination is meant to deal with with the region not just mali but there are a lot of foreign forces in the country and does that help. i think the military foreign military intervention was probably necessary in order to support a very weak mali an army. but the solution to the forces is not the

military it's it's last night said it's negotiations between more groups and if you if you look out for instance the speeches if you listen to the speeches by a person like ahmed who fight is the probably the main jihad is the leader in the central mockumentary he talks are a little about establishing. an islamic state or talks very little about religion actually talks about them and in the fight against corruption it talks about in just means that you might say that that's their way of tapping into a lot will in the states discourse but in any way i think negotiations should be tried. and then you find out what's. what and what these organizations actually want it's not not. necessary what they actually. are you know going for an islamic states ok it's gentlemen thank you very much

the 2 leaders the scuffs security in the region and iran's commitment to the 25th day nuclear deal. is on a 2 day visit to iran to ease tension between japan's ally the us and the islamic republic is the 1st japanese prime minister to visit iran in over 40 years iran's president hassan rouhani has again reiterated that iran does not want a war but it will give a crushing response if it's attacked. jangan that we are not going to start any war in the region we will not be the start of any war including any war with the us if anybody is going to start any war with us we will result of resolutely come up with our response. we did that. in the middle east there are tensions and there is a possibility of military conflict by accident but it must be avoided by all means peace in the middle east affects the whole world nobody wants

a conflict i urge iran to continue to cooperate with the i.a.e.a. and i hope it continues to comply with the agency's regulation of. jabari has more from to her on. the 2 leaders met for over 2 and a half hours in the palace where the ukrainian president received japanese prime minister shinzo abi on her historic visit to the rain in capital at the press conference following their meeting the japanese prime minister urged the iranian government to work with the americans to try and ease the tension in this region he said that nobody wants to see a further rest escalation of the tensions and that a military confrontation in this region would be something nobody wants to see especially anybody in the international community the iranian president for his part said that in order for the iranians to come to the negotiating table with the americans they have to ease their economic sanctions on the country he said there is an economic war that is being waged on the islamic republic by the americans and

in order to move ahead with any kind of dialogue there has to be an easy of these economic pressures the japanese prime minister said that his primary goal in this trip is to trying to come to some kind of agreements between the 2 sides and mediate some kind of a step forward to try and deescalate the tension in this region well for u.s. reaction to trip we can bring in kimberly halakhah she's joining us now from washington d.c. and particularly kimberly what we heard from that press conference is the iranian president saying that japan wants to continue buying iran's oil which has been sanctioned by the u.s. how is that likely to go down in washington. well there were pretty low expectations here in washington for any sort of break for it through by the japanese leader as he made this diplomatic visit one that we should point out essentially is had donald trump u.s.

president's blessing given the fact that donald trump himself had a state visit to japan very recently so you know it's within this backdrop that we also have to take into account some of the broader u.s. actions of you know the withdrawing of the 2015 nuclear agreement to limit iran's nuclear program the adding of economic sanctions the declaring of the ira g.c. as a terrorist organization and of course the positioning of the carrier strike group by the united states in the persian gulf so it was a pretty tall order for shinzo abbate to try and ask the late given these heightened tensions and try to get these 2 sides talking now we should point out that in the midst of all of this donald trump has said war that on one occasion that he is willing to sit down with the russians leadership we've heard from the u.s. secretary of state that this could happen without any sort of preconditions but at the same time while we're hearing this kind of language we see the other side of all of this is that is the united states continuing to ramp up pressure with its

so-called maximum pressure campaign not only the threat looming out of cutting off the sort of economic lifeline if you will and that is trade for iran with the europeans but we've seen even in just the last couple of hours the u.s. treasury put in place more sanctions this time on the i or g c accusing it of working with a company that traffics arms to iraq so while we see these efforts from the japanese leader we see these statements coming out of the administration repeatedly of this willingness to discuss with iran we see on the other hand very escalating posture and clued in the latest sanctions that we've had in just the last couple of hours right kimberly thank you. the saudi immorality led military coalition fading in yemen is promising to retaliate after a missile attack by whole thing rebels on a saudi or ports the coalition says the projectile described by the horse these as a cruise missile had to rival airport north of the yemeni border at least $26.00

people of various nationalities were injured including women and children yemen's houthi rebels say they're responsible for hitting and disabling the airport tower. has more from sun up yes the. army spokesperson said that the. cruise. missile has been modified in the yemen and such from israel is just part of the 300 declared by the group here the confirmed that the this missile has targeted the airports are. these kinds of. legitimate vendors to the saudi arabia as there are strikes in yemen for over 4 years. will continue to head military

targets in saudi arabia and till it stops its war in yemen and also left its blockade or political analyst. says the whole thing is that must be condemned and once the united nations to intervene immediately. the trouble is the timing is so weak it timing in fact if i may say that japanese prime minister. he is visiting turan to mediate between to tehran between iran and united states the other thing is also the united nation secretary assistants rosemarie de carlo she is in riyadh now so the timing is wicked they want to do to show off that they are. a player we could play or a dirty player in the region because you know targeting civilian targets is very bad as not good for for them but but the who theses are targeting civilians on

purpose on the blindly with the support of the iranian the united nation envoy to the to yemen as mr martin griffiths should do his job properly proficiently should not take sides or be biased towards the through the whole thing is the host he should have been with the drone from how do you the ports. on a sunny if according to the stockholm as illusions or i course which been signed back in 15th of december 2018 but they did they did they didn't do that on the other side of this is hossein and he's a journalist and son and the whole 3 supporter he says the saudis should prepare for more to come. this is the 2nd attack using this type of missiles so this means that. the forces here in sanaa still have many surprises to attack saudi arabia on on the top of all of that the saudi. system which caused them

hundreds of millions of dollars has actually failed to intercept a cruise missile on drone attacks so but let me make it clear that the host. the leader of. these objects medical who the every time after any attack on saudi arabia not out of imminent he's calling them for peace is calling him to stop the ticket in yemen infrastructure to open court. to 30 the opposite with the saudis doing they always keep stating that they will destroy the movement they don't want any peace even though in her data he has withdrawn from reporters and the saudi has not withdrawn well the u.s. assistant secretary of state for political military affairs says the whole thing attack is another attempt by iran to destabilize the region. cruise missile fell on the arrivals hall of the saudi arabia's airport international airport reportedly injury $26.00 civilians. these provocative actions mark

a new evolution in the threat around poses to the region to our partners and to our own national security including the security of hundreds of thousands of americans and their families who live and work in the gulf states so clarke cooper who you just heard right there has also been defending the trumpet ministrations decision to bypass congress to sell arms to saudi arabia at a hearing of the house foreign affairs committee bipartisan efforts are taking place both of the house and senate to set up a vote to block arms sales to the kingdom last month the government declared a national security emergency citing growing threats from iran to justify an 8 $1000000000.00 arms sale let's bring in alan fischer he is joining us from washington d.c. so where do things stand right now at the hearing well of the hearings over that was one of my. tenants going in front of members of the house to

justify the decision normally the house the senate congress as a whole is given 30 days notice when there is going to be a big for an arm sales what might prompt did this time was say this is an emergency we need to show support for. the weapons are also going to the united arab emirates and to jordan and he said we have to call him but the increasing threats coming from iran therefore we are using a little measure to sidestep what is normally congressional approval and we instead we are going to look at putting this through is an emergency measure congress is not very pleased and that is bipartisan all over the decision to completely bypass the house and the senate that is why we're seeing motions in both houses you'll remember that things between the congress and the white house has already been strained because there was a bipartisan effort which passed both the house and the.
