7:34 am
already have. stressful being an ethiopian right now since this time around we're hoping that there will be a little less heat and a whole more or a home or not night into the conversation so where are we right now we have government forces in tikrit that's the northern part of ethiopia saying that they are now in control the former ruling no coup party t p.l.f. has now been on the cover and they said they've launched a guerrilla war so right now is this the end of the war in asia or just the beginning i know unusual great need jumped into the conversation every day ago on tweeting you are sending us your thoughts your ideas your experiences your knowledge you know what's to you if you're watching right now on the cheap jump into the comments section of today show. after more than a month of fighting to grow with all the associated destructions to our communication and supply lines the situation is very concerning we've witnessed
7:35 am
a large amount of internal displacement large numbers of injured both civilian and military and we're very concerned about hospitals who dangerously low medical supplies doctors are being forced into decisions about their countries now they can treat them and have to leave out of that access for humanitarian agencies it's not going to sure. it's essential to get medical supplies through to these hospitals as soon as possible. well perspective from inside ethiopia and now 3 perspectives film ethiopian 2nd highest welcome back to the stream i see you are wearing your stream uniform appreciate that introduce yourself to our audience around the world. so my name is a cut as i know i'm a freelance journalist with vice media and as a very recently al-jazeera. thank you for joining us as i guess welcome to the stream introduce yourself to the global audience. thank you very much and i mean.
7:36 am
i am a recent graduate of the universe of california berkeley square. i am a legal professional by trips by live in oakland california thank you very much the news i welcome good to have you and your honest welcome to the stream tell everybody here already to. hi my name is your highness a good i'm a professor of political science going to college here in lawrence feel georgia in the atlanta. so this question that we are asked as we go into this discussion is has the come to ethiopia ended oh is it really just beginning as a reporter as a crisis what are the clues that tell you that it's either over or it's still going on how the piece that together particularly it's hard to get access the northern part of ethiopia like now. well i mean as a further november 20 minutes earlier men declared conventional military warfare
7:37 am
had concluded with the european armies capture of the regional capital of any. despite this there is they're still. there still hasn't been an opening up of the region to independent analysts and journalists and there is still communications and blackouts in the large part of the majority of the region of there was and a true end to the conflict. now that no one i would have in the time for journalists like myself and a lot of my colleagues on the ground to be able to go in and properly assess the extent of the damage. speak to those who bore the brunt of the casualties and to get a good look at what the infrastructure damage looks like however that exists that permission has not been granted as of yet and the government is still pretty chilling independent coverage of the conflict or as they were portrayed in the
7:38 am
course to conflict. and as long as this continues we'll be able to accurately assess if as the government says the conflict is as well then truly winding down. so prime minister abbie aren't any seems very confident that the war was over it was any going to be a couple weeks it is done now looking up to form how do you reach that confidence that he's succeeding with what may well be happening on the ground. the conflict is major in a federal government a very large and subsidy to the country and against the local government of its own and these local government which is being led by it if the olive has been training tain is in tens of thousands of special forces and militia forces that eventually attack at the northern command of the armed forces so bringing that up is because
7:39 am
even if for the end if. you know it was possible to reorganize itself start somehow from scratch and defeat disease national into it is that raised armies against the government the parisian in a jewess says may not be over because criminals have to be apprehended law and order has to be restored in a way that gives confidence for the government to actually invite journalists and aid workers to be able to visit visit their agent so you know without completing that i think it will be very difficult for premature to say that it is complete although commission our warfare as the chorus just say has been successfully in that in that the government is in a 100 percent in control of the region. i'm looking here they send them slim
7:40 am
says what is eritrea military doing in t. cry i'm going to fry that teeny sayas you have knowledge of that is that true. thank you very much our 1st i just want to correct. some narratives 1st a regional government is an elected government it has it was established that based on a popular election there's a limit to mexico government and has a strong support among its a grand enjoy still and conditional support of the gray you know according to the to grand original government spokesperson more than 250000 army men and women and men and men women in uniform are defending to grey so we have to know that it is a legit government has a very strong popular best come into question eritrea is involved in this war and there is a credible evidence to prove that for example europe and. there are
7:41 am
a panda bear jim dead europe and company that research and security of it you have confirmed that you're a trance are actually participating in this war and also there are tons of irritants soldiers who were captured during this war so there's no question there's no doubt about it you're a trance involvement in this war and that makes the conflict an international conflicts you just go back to egypt now you know i says all all signs indicate conventional war is a loser they're poor so the t.p. lesley's cule captured for several days so this is going to need it the problem is when an area is closed down how do you get that we're information and then this is how al jazeera is reporting right now if he appears average denies insurgency emerging intake i 2nd a piece of fruit it's. ok so that's me. yes it's open government has stated that. as i mentioned earlier operations are
7:42 am
winding down and it is concluding. operations integrate however currently phone and internet access has only been restored to parts of to gray which are under ethiopian army control and these parts these cities and towns are actually very limited all of the grazier to have been governments go. ok well the areas that we are able to access by telling by telephone and internet are limited to several towns. to establish the town with residence in the town of my cut up as a very recently. but until this day relatives family members been unable to contact their loved ones in the regional capital of mechanics for instance home to half a 1000000 people. so without this without this ability to establish contact with
7:43 am
those on the ground i would not be able to independently assess the claims and counterclaims whether it's the government doing a 100 percent of in control of the region or what you said the alleged alleged reports of eritrean troops i understand that and this is a difficult. conversation going in and out and let me explain that 1st 1st after that i have asserted declared that he completed the mission the 3rd and final mission of this operation or or i call it where are the euro through the or i mean the air to ground forces were able to shut down. mic 23 jet so that shows you that were brought the prime minister telling telling us this conclusion accurate and also if a minute as though that is not the reality is that the new i mean if you actually look at france 24 see where it they exported this fake news it was
7:44 am
a video clip that was taken from a video game that is does the 11th for our conversation here well as i think is just let me let me jump in with only one as. human as i want to move or not but i'm going to come straight here as as i move on and this is because as me deep 800 whether the conflict in ethiopia is over or just beginning one signed one clue that it is not over will be refugees people fleeing their homes and guarantee syntax. that is a clip if everything was fine if there are no or they would still be sitting let me bring in the force and then you can come in right off the back of this this is chris metzler he's a senior external relations officer at new and 8 c this is what he told us and you have a listen. we are united nations high commissioner for refugees are very concerned about these you're refugees in sudan. almost $50000.00 of them across now the or are. you a nation russia immediately to this region to help the people have lost everything
7:45 am
. in more uncertain stream of concerned about the original refugees who were before his you we're talking about 96000 people all saw our. different camps in region. with supplies and we were looking to help them get. this is a situation where that if you it is very heart breaking one person displaced is for me one to money but the government has also stated that. you know for citing sources from the united nations supermajority of the city if you reduce houghton to be teenagers and young i mean who actually happened to be participating in the war itself in the conflict there were former militia and
7:46 am
special force members but now that the fact that calm is a salute slowly returning to sit right and given the fact that it's be has been experiencing the situation with i.d.p.'s internally in south korean central parts of the country i don't think 405-0000 even though it is significant in the highest would it be difficult for the to have been a government to manage injury settled or is it those that integrate them and helps them. you know return to the a lot of my life so i don't think it will be hugely challenging but what is very critical is a branding some criminals may be hiding a men's very few just most the most important cities also mean how participated in the massacre that took place in my car again is that the people in that region are mad correct so 1st i think mystery heart disease this concerning the facts there is
7:47 am
no factual proof that this refugee are former members of the threat of force this is in assuming facts and 1st and foremost this is not a small operation our law enforcement operation does not kill people it doesn't. risky people does not grant cities destroyed infrastructure invite a foreign country to invent rights on country calls the nearly 50000 people to seek refuge in a foreign country invade and terrorize people rocky mountains but on the mediterranean it's now if you had an offer to the arabs that are a nice guy as that is how not to write the right proud rover inmate primarily know not imagine. how you guys are going to ensure that your issues in general any. premier agents and i don't i don't hear you hired i don't hear you i don't hear you when you when you speak of reach over so i'm going to ask you your hands in one sentence what is your cush macas i need to question. ok went it to be
7:48 am
a spokesperson actually accuses if you're going to piss off the stealing doors you know something that they are making up because this is how does something they just have to say something that's just that's just very childish and really not true what we should be concerned about is that the us is if the oxy billions and what we see is us to feel it started to as grown as they started to return to what they were doing was massacring it all based on their identities but the if you're going to government actually has been given these toll of 72 hour. time period just to actually lay the ground militias and special police force members to consider surrendering and returning back to their low life that is a very good at intimate enemies going out or something and then we know something as well it is significant gently you had if you had a sentence thank you very much let me bring up something that you would think would
7:49 am
be one of those rumors that goes around that couldn't possibly be true have a look here at my laptop this is the headline ethiopian forces fly at the un team and aid groups seek. access is not sure what it was absolutely be. codified by a government spokesperson and this is what the death government spokesperson said about the instant that happened headless. yes some off their urine stops well actually in some way why it might not happen. these companies not know months and it was a government it only has did you can denounce someone here in town and in some offering as you must up must move. but the indent isms and. the kind of intimacy expedition science when you hear that.
7:50 am
only sound is the government spokesperson was saying that the un team were going hiking in there to glen nineteenth's where as they're trying to help people who who need assistance right now what can you tell me one of the instances we know where people are maybe family maybe friends that you have in the northern part of ethiopia ethiopia tells us how bad the humanitarian crisis is right now. take your about so 1st the air that this 1st person of the federal government is admitting that the federal government over there has shot that shot the aid workers so that a stock that itself tells you that the government you know how much criminals there they are the program that is even shooting out the aid workers and week up when come so near to him surround effects there's this very enormous amounts of people are starving there is not access to any health service including one of the major
7:51 am
hospitals in the capital is closed people don't have access to any kind of house facility starving tells us and thousands of people migrating to sudan i can go on and on that the humanitarian crisis is it's very significant mary counter here very. of course of course going on sure sure there is a security framework in the country that prevented this you know free movement of people in organization as you know we don't do the analysis aid workers because of the fact that the state of emergency has been declared in that area for about 6 months we just finished the 1st woman so we have actually 5 months so they respect international law in abiding by international institutions in their values in tradition is that we are formed of this international institutions does not mean that they can actually roam around right decision the law that's actually in place
7:52 am
right now and $100.00 says what you want lohan is they said that but you had but you had this though i mean i have only the know if it is a national oh are you afraid of the. primary or even running. mate all right hi everybody how to everybody the phrase run around that feels particularly insensitive and that we let me show you why not this is this this this is a refugee who now is in sudan he was separated from his family i want you to hear his voice how this added difficulty of what we have lost everything and it's been very difficult to sleep or we are still suffering and thinking about our family who have. been at home and they're always asking me about their mother and sister and i keep giving them hope that they may have found a car to travel to central to great and that they're probably safe i give them how . i might see how they see you know criticizing the u.n.
7:53 am
for being in what you would say probably the wrong place at the wrong time has some new cheap source for you say do you respond to them that says i'm doing forsman is not an excuse for killing innocent people and displacing 50000 civilians what would you say back to bet. that's a very excellent question and thank you for showing that clip of this the displaced if you can brother as well my heart breaks for him he's my brother is mightier than brother and i care about each and every if you have been respective of it's in a city or it's and you get into the whatever you call it but what i want what i was trying to say was that it's so much in sensitivity and emotions 'd that we have invested in that situation all right and what happened in the 1st 2 or 3 days after they did that to ground you know the special for spectacular northern command was they were actually using raid across trucks and cars right to negotiate with the
7:54 am
strangled soldiers of the india now if you're going national defense forces how been betrayed by is it accommodated in our midst that have been you know eating and leaving and defending that outrage and i 20 years and i'm getting nobody is saying thank god i didn't leave i doubt i'd already met in this happens you had i don't know if you got his claim to having but it but him let me set it right there we got there were a lot of a lot of comments like mice are going to come straight to you because i'm trying to represent the you cheaper audience a. 1000 people that sharing their thoughts with you this story here at this is concerning ethiopia and aren't accused of ethnic profiling over a civil war with and another headline here just changing a few pimply seeking lists of ethnic to grains this is a you and reports you are seeing you have reporting. situations where it appears that there's ethnic profiling not enough to cry region where there may
7:55 am
or may not be a conflict still going on but in other parts of ethiopia so can my skin you explain what you see. yes so like i mentioned before reporting out of today might be difficult reporting elsewhere in the country has been relatively easy thus far and i was able to a certain that the ethnic profiling of. employees at if you're an airline's was not an isolated incident there has been an institutional effort to exclude grains try ethiopian workforce across a variety of different sectors including the construction and humanitarian sectors is definitely a disturbing new developments that we started noticing and maybe perhaps a week into the war and although we might not be able to establish a direct link let's say between what's going on and maybe the upper echelons of power such as the prime minister's office. there's definitely we can definitely
7:56 am
notice there's been no attempt at curbing the trend no attempt at protecting the rights of innocent or grand civilians elsewhere in the country who have no link whatsoever to the conflict no link whatsoever to the g.p.l. left but who are being unjustly excluded and i'm just suspended and dismissed from their posts cross the edge of the work force and when it comes to the sensitivity issue i'd like to respectfully disagree with the characterization that the yarns made of the refugees in sudan as being largely. young men u.n.h.c.r. officials i spoke to within the initial days of the mass exodus confirmed to me that they meant that. the large majority of those fleeing were unaccompanied minors who had little to no possessions which meant they had to flee spontaneously for their own wellbeing this does definitely point to their being an immediate threat
7:57 am
to the well being of civilians in the area something that the german government has denied and i think that's the conversation we should be having. about knowing something was not being is an experience mary it's a conversation that we have been we having amongst so many issues so many issues 2nd rice esiason unionism bringing your perspective your experiences your takes i want to leave us with these faces of into porn day which really reminds us about who is suffering on the ground beyond the politics who is suffering the syfy to. the scene evidence austin commission of prevention more crimes and crimes against humanity 80 crew this includes the massacre of hundreds of civilians in and around my cousin nothing as well as the bullet struck their g.'s of other massacre is in her manner it is important to note here that these are easily people who are being targeted because of their ethnicity in addition to this is a crime getting off the green civilians in the government's effort to the b.l.s.
