hello there i'm julie want donald here in doha our current top stories on al-jazeera a truck bomb in somalia's capital has killed at least 79 people injured many more most of the dead were university students although there's been no claim of responsibility somalia's president is pointing at al shabaab how much house are reports from nairobi in neighboring. the attack was carried out during morning rush hour as many people going to work and university students heading to campus the bombs exploded at a security checkpoint used by many coming into marketing. the house with. a truck loaded with explosives was decimated at a busy checkpoint the explosion led to many deaths and injuries most of those died

4:05 am
and i missed any of the i mean so i may. have even what i did 30. mr dialysis. president abdel fattah el-sisi presents himself as egypt savior as the only man able to impose order in his country. there is the stink smell of tear gas blood and bullets. only a subtle talked without all knowing men tank health donald angela any. man fashion with with you know little steps for that that will be more. despite his human rights record western leaders have embraced l.c.c. as a strategic and commercial partner so they printed clearly little question so that
4:06 am
i may think i'm a. c c was able to say there's a threat from isis you want to defeat it give us the tools and we'll take care of this for a year. and we have a fantastic relationship with egypt and we appreciate what you're doing but is l.c.c. really such a good bargain for the west. in april 28th in egyptian president out of fatah el-sisi secured a 2nd time in office after winning 97 percent of the vote yet the results were hardly surprising. there were technically 2 candidates
4:07 am
but the other candidate was the most optimistic. in fact the supporter who had stepped into the contest at the 11th hour to prevent the embarrassment of a one horse race. 3 men from within the military establishment had initially challenge how seizing for the presidency in a very short space of time all 3 candidates were dispensed with by at the c. 3 sammy a not a retired general was charged with breaching military regulations. and the consul was a little known army colonel was court martialed and ahmed shafik a former air force commander withdrew from the race after being held in a luxury hotel for a month. both recently president and sisi expressed regrets that no one was willing to run against him but the situation became increasingly embarrassing for cairo's partners in the west. parts of the us government were communicating to
4:08 am
c.c. into those around him that we were concerned about his efforts to drive out every credible pawn and to his reelection i think it may even have been addressed by vice president and spun he went to cairo earlier and 28 team so that message was being conveyed. with no real contest the main focus for sisi became obtaining legitimacy through a high voter turnout and. people were promised that they would get pilgrimage to mecca or they would get an approved electricity supply in their town or they would get and use water system. to live in for the little let up then. i think that this is what it.
4:09 am
really. thank you. and 2011 the revolution in tahrir square put an end to hosni mubarak's 30 year regime and raised hopes that egypt would become the middle east's largest democracy . but this so-called arab spring was short lived. since taking power in 2030 l.c.c. has ruled the country amid allegations of human rights violations as well as an escalation in armed attacks in the sinai peninsula that have killed more than 3000 people. egypt is a key u.s. ally and a major european business partner western countries are often accused of overlooking egypt's human rights record and its disregard of the rule of law because of the
4:10 am
country's geo political economic and strategic importance. a case in point is that of an italian ph d. student from the university of cambridge julio regime who disappeared in cairo on the 25th of january 26th. the young italian was found dead 9 days later in a ditch on the city's outskirts his half naked body bore the signs of heavy torture . talk to outdoor. in foster care the toilet out toward the. north east i mean to the to where ed of am and what around of it all a come out of the sauna. there on that awful scene state that
4:11 am
case they are. the day regime went missing a major security operation was underway in cairo to control protests marking the 5th anniversary of the revolution. the italian authorities suspected that regime e had been arrested that night but the egyptian government denied any responsibility. there was a whole range of lurid details of a fright that rejoined he was the victim of a car crash and later a consummate in the press that julia a jenny was gay even though he wasn't and that he'd been killed by a gay lover and there were suggestions that he had been taking drugs and this was perhaps a drug deal that had gone wrong. and i may get there and take him out on the shuttle italia my sing ellen every battle not
4:12 am
every battle that gets anyone a sort of them and they. counted the colaba out of their time in danger and i think that. interior minister maggie adèle got far dismissed western suspicions. as i don't know why but jack you can be a good and don't service as he has i don't know most of the laws in the in this hour shift well let me answer here oh i had. 6 weeks into the investigation the egyptians said they had found reaching these killers claiming that they were part of a gang they kidnapped foreigners. a group of 4 men were traveling in a small minivan according to their wives to do a construction job on an apartment. this vehicle approached a police checkpoint the police opened fire and killed everybody inside.
4:13 am
later that afternoon the police officers went. to the homes of these people and lo and behold what they find but thought giulio jenny's personal effect. but just 24 hours later the interior ministry was forced to admit that those men had nothing to do with regime is murder. kathy a level of the nost investing that they have kaido all due to some of the concept that suck it up or so mccain that i think we're. at the other foot or so what i asked the commanding a queen the other monday that kick the sauna came off a child of the necessity either commenting. but the genie had been in egypt researching trade unions including the use of the local street vendors. a year after his death suspicions emerged that one of the
4:14 am
leaders of the street vendors union was a police informant he had become convinced that regina was a spy. and surely you know that so you get the other near the money. down upon time into all. that he put in the right mentor corner only coming out of school stuff going on but on it the union leader wanted regime here to incriminate himself and pushed for compromising topics like foreign funded political activism. term usually let alone the state of the me from news deep in my sharia my son but get good got well and send the love immaturely out already up with you yes and i'll hug and say yes yes i meant to. tell a little age real can. just stick around a bit about all in on boston all in there over thought i came out of here that. i
4:15 am
can now be the muscle the bus accident. i know it is highly. doubt that it always came in mancini k. . that if he knew about it i mean that also can i would imagine ek with any other pick if he knew. someone imagining the main. battle tank after. the union leader reported regime new to the security services just days before his disappearance. the egyptian authorities continued to deny any responsibility for his death. so there are a janney case came at a particularly sensitive moment for aleisha it's between egypt and it's only because at that very moment the italian energy company annie was in the process of
4:16 am
developing the largest gas field in the eastern mediterranean called zohar in conjunction with egypt. went on its own is something game changing a very neat thing when she took me to many other than your business school bag. point geology given that if i started i would want to get ways importantly the energy i want you pays if you know meant it will show this friday it will be visually domestically dinner just one provision of zoar gas field is also a major source of profit for any worth an estimated $6400000000.00 to the gas giant it was in any use interest as well as in theses interests to achieve a rapid resolution of this case and for those of a project could go ahead. the political stalemate caused by regime is murder came to an end when it's only sent a new ambassador to cairo. she had been shot down
4:17 am
a farce indeed appropriate she of the moon shot a 0 she caught a love for a. diplomat i said she. feeling full of. pain so they say she finally passed around to the meticulous podium or i'm going to look at the mental ability that goes to the baseline confronted of anything phantom interbank to make an idea out of the i'm going on the phone. basically did resume diplomatic relations with egypt about 3 or 4 months before the software project came online and since then you know the project has been a great success by all accounts. part of the goal normally go. to get and d.d. only g. doing ality and the l a it of it all it was she on $1.00
4:18 am
a cheney a debit or in feet a main debut but they ain't there they love more of you they talked to in the yard . years have passed since surely old regime is murder in 2016 in italy and elsewhere many people are still waiting for the truth. for many egyptians what happened to the regime he did not come as a surprise human rights organizations estimate that in egypt at least 323 people have died in custody since 2013. $60000.00 have been arrested on political charges and over $15000.00 civilians have faced military trials including $150.00 children. what has come to be called enforced disappearance is an every

this is al-jazeera and these are current top stories a truck bomb in somalia's capital has killed at least $79.00 people and injured many more most of the dead were university students although there's been no claim of responsibility somalia's president is pointing up so. so i can see why the. the motive behind such an attack is to terrorize and demoralize the somali people and its government that the people its government will never be demoralized from achieving our development goals and rebuilding our country this terrorist group of asa bob it seems has been contracted to kill and massacre innocent people and destroy all infrastructure in the central african republic at least 40 people were killed in fighting between traders and on demand violence began in the capital bongi on thursday when traders began resisting attacks imposed on them by local

in 2011 nobody could anticipate that in just 2 years egypt would once again be
4:34 am
under military dictatorship. an american egyptian citizen mohammad saltire got on a plane to cairo and quickly found himself at the front lines of the rebel. thousands of people gathered outside the presidential palace. i was crying my eyes out i thought that for sure they were going to fire the 3 were going to die say my last prayers letter and in the famed moment. the army turns on the speakers of the announcement.
4:35 am
a former air force commander hosni mubarak had been the face of egypt's military dictatorship since 1981. he was gone but his military regime remains largely intact. when the muslim brotherhood's candidate mohamed morsi became egypt's 1st democratically elected president the military worked to undermine him from day one. by concentrating power in his own hands and with the economy in freefall morsi lost the support of many egyptians. many egyptians who had supported the idea of the ouster of president mubarak suddenly turned around and said hold on this is also not what we want and suddenly you had a brand new type of conflict inside egyptian society. when
4:36 am
hundreds of thousands of protesters poured into the streets on the 1st anniversary of morsy selection the egyptian military exploited the situation to remove. l.c.c. who morsi had put in charge of the army gave him 48 hours to come up with a political solution. both morsi himself and his senior advisers did not see this coming they knew there was opposition they knew that there was this can and but they didn't think the egyptian military would actually move against them in the final analysis on the 3rd of july 2030 l.c.c. had morsi arrested the new military leadership suspended the constitution and also arrested 300 muslim brotherhood party members and officials the initial attack on morsy supporters soon expanded to include all political opposition to l.c.c.
4:37 am
. egypt occupies a position of strategic importance for the west in the middle east it is israel's next door neighbor and controls access to the suez canal. if and a very simple bargain the united states has provided egypt with a large amount of military aid every year and in return egypt has you know kept the peace with israel has provided access to the. 4 american warships and has provided america with really a very strong pillar in the middle of a very volatile region. when l.c.c. took power in 20. 13 relations began to crack there was a general willingness to try to work with the new regime out of the interest in preserving the bilateral relationship so they were willing to give the
4:38 am
new military regime an opportunity to prove themselves l.c.c. soon showed the obama administration was he was capable of and the weeks after the military takeover morsi supporters had occupied 2 major thoroughfares in cairo they are not a square and the road in front of iraq by allah do we have mosque. in august the military cleared these camps with an unprecedented show of force. mohammed salt was there his father a deputy minister in the short lived muslim brotherhood government was amongst those addressing the protesters from the stage. here i was taking pictures come back put my phone on wait for think not a calm and then tweeting taking phone calls from c.n.n. al-jazeera this and that. i mean i have time to think and i think what though
4:39 am
and i get hit. there is this thing. here you. can almost taste it and. that of the bodies falling anywhere you look bodies upon baden's. human rights watch documented 817 victims but the number may be as high as a 1000. united states strongly condemns. the steps that have been taken by egypt's interim government and security forces we deplore violence against civilians president obama canceled a joint military exercise and froze part of the $1300000000.00 in military aid to
4:40 am
egypt receives from the u.s. every year. but l.c.c. continued his crackdown undeterred. prison. this my face. i have been a 5th you've got to sleep you've got you've got to think shifts keeping with people has one bathroom for 50 plus men of course you're so you're forced to strip naked except john know where you're been and your head shaved is totally you really. have to go on a hunger strike because it was the only means of resistance no hard food for 489 days. they would bring my dad to the next ward didn't have let me hear his screens and. come tell me listen this is what's happening to your dad you know we can and there's just break your strike. there's
4:41 am
no love for these guys. no love. in may 2050 with soltan still in prison the obama administration formally reported to the us congress that arbitrary and unlawful killings were taking place in egypt yet at the same time the u.s. officially resumed military aid to egypt. l.c.c. remain there man to be reckoned with in cairo. your hearing concerns from the saudis from the iraqis from the israelis that the freeze in assistance to egypt was counterproductive that they were pleased with that there was a desire to i think address some of their concerns. the united arab emirates and saudi arabia invested in l.c.c. from early on. in the weeks after his military takeover the u.a.e. alone transferred $3000000000.00 to egypt while the saudis gave
4:42 am
a $2000000000.00 central bank deposit $2000000000.00 in energy products and $1000000000.00 cash without the very extensive economic support that the egyptian military got from the gulf states for example in 2013 i don't know whether they they would have carried out the coup or they would have been able to make a go of it. saudi arabia support came with a political price. in 2017 l.c.c. agreed to give the disputed islands of tehran and sun a few which sits between saudi arabia and egypt sinai peninsula to the saudis. the decision was hugely unpopular in egypt and sparks the biggest protests since 25 .
4:43 am
but l.c.c. rode the storm and kept the aid flowing. egypt has at times or saved much larger sums of money from them with new allies particularly in the gulf but the aid from the united states is symbolically very important diplomatically very important and it's not something they want to see she was able to say that there's a threat from isis you want to defeat it we're your partner give us the tools and we'll take care of this for you and he would make the argument that egypt is too big to fail if egypt does collapse if the islamists run amok or the economy goes down this is going to have to sastre its consequences for the region and for europe . the european union has trying to strike a balance between legitimate security concerns and respect for human rights. but many member states have adopted a business as usual policy. but unfortunately we still have
4:44 am
a very weak common ground in europe when it comes to how to deal with egypt. a dutch member of the european parliament met each a shocker initiated a resolution that condemned human rights violations in egypt however she does that leaders of the influential member states will form only. we very much pointed out that human rights repression violations. executions torture censorship closing of n.g.o.s is not acceptable and you want to hear such strong words from let's say berlin or paris or london very much for 3 years shock a push to get the resolution through the european parliament besides denouncing the high number of death penalty executions and the lack of fair trials in egypt there was another point she stressed. i think we've learned some very important lessons
4:45 am
in 20112012 when we found that e.u. made systems were actually used to track down activists in egypt and so ever since we've been pushing in the european parliament and i've been leading the efforts on the export controls of surveillance systems to make sure that human rights are criteria to measure before an export license is granted and despite this statement of principle we see that in practice such export controls are not really lived up to in fact there are serious questions whether it may be the case that julio regina who was brutally murdered may have been tracked and traced with italian maid systems and software. after the robber massacre and 2013 e.u. member states agreed to suspend exports to egypt of any equipment that might be used for internal repression. yet 12 out of 28 e.u.
4:46 am
member states ignored the suspension. since 2040 italy has a exported weapons to egypt worth some 40000000 euros. germany has made deals for over 1600000000 euros including light arms and onward vehicles and france has topped all the rest with over 6000000000 euros in sales including combat vehicles like those reportedly used in that up. massacre. faceted in a possible to ensure down diligent effect a little folly put me off when i said vulnerable what is it on religion city and the amount of it since she was old enough to see oh these are good multiphase don't let's all be like that are. very far same song called

blue school up republic to see don't all 25 obligate us. to concede only if you take a despair because of them it is pearson it was on the temple on a democracy a disease that mr centers and plate but. post the problem with the mccourty book preventing matty exist and it got fed only perhaps but it is a younger vivaan been intelligence is he perceived in the field is a failure because of what others who rented it are. it don't then i'm in for some caution except to. listen to the many of the venom of the janelle than those that simply not clearly did. so that's i mean they can produce an argument superman so you've got this was the nail of democracy yet i guess you. manolo me say if you're logical. dawson or that's all bullet i'll say less that. always
4:48 am
deadly violence has been on the rise in egypt especially in the sinai peninsula the northeast corner of this remote region has become for european leaders one of the middle east's hottest front lines against all groups the c.c. government appears to be struggling to contain this threat of islamic state militants who are based in the sinai and of course now with the effect of collapse of slotnick state power in iraq and syria there are indications that at least some of those fighters are now coming from those areas into the sinai but it's hard to know what's really happening in the northeast side as the independent media have not been allowed into the area for years. imagine you feel for. whether. the media got it i'll get it and then that's when i won this thing that's in the cia is that it won't get our policy if you have the duty. and you know you do want to get an. unconfirmed leaks
