ah ah, me ah, this is al jazeera ah, the time is 1500 hours, gmc hello, i'm come all santa maria, welcome to the news. our on al jazeera celebrations and abuse, to pick out local fulton drive away government troops. i say they've taken back

a well regional forces in ticket i am threatening to pursue what they call enemy forces into eritrea. and ethiopia, somehow regions if required, this is after retaking to cause main capital of mecca. a on monday people are celebrating as those federal troops and their allies retreated from the region. government has announced the sci fi with immediate effect, but it's not clear if it's fully being observed. one of the big problems of course, is that communication to the region has been cut for months. this is a conflict that has killed thousands of people of his life. millions of people in dire humanitarian need and all sides have been accused of committing abuses against civilians. in a moment we'll go live to malcolm web in nairobi for the latest. first sto, his report on the dramatic turn of events. i went to

a p and government troops took control of the city of mikella. last year. prime minister abbey ama declared victory over the 2 grand people's liberation front. 7 months of conflict followed thousands of being killed. and then it all changed on monday when the t p are left took mckelly back, the government appointed administration, fled and then asked for a ceasefire. who will fall into the academy? honda but we ask in the name of to try and all peace loving people. the federal government for a cease fire based on humanity in such a way that prevents further damage so that it is possible for people to find respite and become part of the solution. the, among the most recent death around 40 people killed in an asteroid. last week, the army said those killed the fighters. survivors said the bomb his market. around the same time, the t p left began it's offensive to retake mckelly, which is the capital of the 2 great region. is fully under the control of our

forces, government forces and the government is back in control of the capital. and so when he held election last week to gray was one of 4 out of the country, 10 regions that didn't vote. the conflict began partly because the elections due last year was delayed before that the t p. a laugh at dominated ethiopia, government, and military for nearly 30 years. and so prime minister, ibm, it took power 3 years ago, a power struggle followed which erupt it into a civil war. the conflicts displaced nearly 2000000 people into gray. widespread reports of attacks on civilians burning of crops and looting. the un says france left 90 percent of the population in urgent need of food and said there's already a famine and it's expected to get worse. doctors without borders said 3 of its

staff were killed. last week. unicef says government troops entered its office in mckelly on monday and dismantled communications equipment. we condemn any and all attacks on humanitarian workers and assets and remind again all parties of their obligations under international humanitarian law. all parties must ensure the protection of civilians and that all humanitarian assistance provided by the united nations is provided according to humanitarian principles. much of the conflict has been fought in small towns and villages where right groups say thousands of civilians have been killed, got people waiting to see if the ceasefire will bring peace and the help they desperately need as promise, malcolm webb. now in i robi with more, and i mentioned malcolm that communication is always difficult with the ticket region. what have you been able to find out what more you've been able to find out

even with those limitations? well the phones some point in the last 24 hours have gone off in most of the great region. but those most recent comments that you mentioned from the leadership of the t p. s that they intend to pursue their enemies. not just in gray, but across the borders, make it sound like there isn't really a sci fi or a tool that sci fi declaration was unilaterally made on the part of the government . but without any phone communications. and it's impossible to verify exactly what's going on. the t p said it took control of the city of mckelly, but across the whole province throughout just the c p l, f. i t, as in ethiopia, and government troops, also eric tray and troops and militia from ethiopia as a mall or region. now, 7 months ago when the government troops took control of the city, it appeared to full quite quickly and easily to them. but they struggled ever since

to take control of all the rural areas across the province, waiting to see now the boots on the other foot. if indeed the t p l f are going to be able to control the rest of the province with so many other actors still there. but without any phone communications, it's very difficult to find out what's going on. ok, thank you for that. by malcolm web, keeping an eye on things as, as much as possible, as he says, they're in nairobi. well, in the last hour or so, the united states has warranty fuel pia and air tre, that it will take further action. if this declaration of a sci fi into cry fails to lead to the natural improvements, robert godek was speaking to a congressional committee in washington discussing the conflict in the region. ethiopia, is it a pivot point to an inflection point? what the parties do now matters and will determine whether there is a better future ahead for the if the government announcement of a cessation of hostilities does not result in improvement in the situation

continues to worse than if the opiate in eritrea should anticipate further actions . we will not stand by in the face of horrors in te grey. she returns he's on capitol hill today keeping an eye on that hearing. and i guess it's important that we hear that from the us that they're looking at the big picture, the long conflict, the famine, the big things which need to change. and this cease fire is just the start of that . and that's been a major source of discussion up with hearing how enduring is the ceasefire. and the answer seems to be from the u. s. government, but we're not really sure not least because there has been no statement from the t p l. s or the or trans, but there is certainly hope and welcoming it cautiously welcoming the c. cautiously . i think the most worrying bit of information we've had so far from the chairman of the house for the 1st committee. he says he's been hearing information that the t p enough now intends to invade eritrea and confront or tram forces in

a tramp potentially that's truly protected. concerning the us state department, spikes us, the federal representative, and the secretary for african if i didn't have any comments about that, but the question is, how enduring will this be? and as you say, the u. s. says it will take further measures against ethiopia. if, if it is felt but the government is not contributing to some sort of prominent political settlement, but what's come through this entire debate is how even handed everyone is trying to be. because on the one hand you have the usa id, so expense and all of these the represent, talking in great detail about it, specifically these forces who are contributing to a man made famine. and indeed, chevy mix the chairman of the house for the past with you saying that possibly genocide is underway, then leaks as only as far as problems i'll be as concerned his legacy may be in doubt and that's because he and it's also mentioned in this hearing is still seen

as one of the major u. s. allies in the whole of africa both for it's a u. s. and security concerns, as well as the academic concerns as well as it's, it's relationship to china. the, the bye didn't ministration sees africa through the prism of china. and if you, if you're a c, there's the u. s. is allied in the horn of africa right now. so that lose lose to criticize problems to particularly toughly because they don't, once tyneesa was becoming by me and i be a also has been deregulating the economy. it's very good for us multi nationals and you get that sense that reflects a heroic accounting about if you can, troops and even government has been up to integrate. and yet there's a constant constant of rebuttal immediately by you often get the same person discussing days. those conditions saying, but you know, both sides are to blame and you see that geo political or when that's going on, which it has to be fed. there's been a lot of criticism bubbling away here in congress because there are those here in

congress to say the bite administration simply has been too soft and acting too slowly on to correct. partly because of those, you know, political concerns that she pretends the on capital hill as the hearing keeps going or continues, i should say in the house there. thank you. she had more with him later, but cameron hudson with us now who is a non resident senior fellow at the atlantic council on scott from washington again to give us a bit of expert opinion. maybe at us ask you about the hearing that we've been talking about. first of all, cameron and your views on, on the position the united states is taking. she was hired. i think that there's a lot of both sides in going on. absolutely, well i think that washington, as your correspondent noted, has been trying to preserve all options with respect to its engagement with, with e p o b. they've been trying to use diplomatic persuasion up to this point to get the ethiopian government to the lent in it's sort of pursuit of total victory in

gray. they have not been successful in, in that conversation, but they have withheld some of the most biting sanctions that the united states have things related to the human rights abuses that have gone on at the hands of ethiopian government troops and their allies in the region. so what was being alluded to there by the state department representative was the fact that the administration has planned and is prepared to, to sanction ethiopian government and military officials for the crimes being committed. unless this is fire, hold them less. there is some, some, some, some permanence to, to the changes that we've seen just in the last 24 hours. so let's talk about that face fire your opinion on why now? is it a loss of face for the government having to back down like this and how important, how much of a victory, i guess it is for the t p less? well, i think it's a recognition, a tacit recognition by the government of via that they could no longer hold the t

great region that they were suffering. a number of embarrassing defeats at the hands of the to grands in the last 2 weeks or so. and so this is, i think it has to acknowledgment that they, that they can't hold the territory. now there are, of course, they're putting a spin on it today, which is that this is a humanitarian sees fire that they were acknowledging the dire humanitarian consequences of the conflict, and that they were removing their forces and engaging in a unilateral cease fire, show that the humanitarian situation on the ground could improve so they are, they are trying to take, i think, a higher road here and to reframe the narrative. because up until this point, the narrative has been that that the government was overly using its force that in response to an initial t gray and attack on them that they have used overwhelming a force and human rights abuses. to try to pacify this region that has clearly not worked. and so now they are trying to reframe this as they are in pursuit of peace

. the government wants peace and the government wants to improve the humanitarian situation. and it is now incumbent upon gray. and to respond in kind, quick way on that humanitarian situation in cameron, in the, in the eighty's and probably even part of the ninety's. the word famine was soon honest with ethiopia. it would seem just unconscionable that could still be happening in 2021. well exactly, and i think that there is a certain irony or hypocrisy here that the government is saying that it wants to improve the situation when the situation has, has eroded so far as a result of the government blocking humanitarian aid access. so this, this famine has been called a man made famine. we're seeing up to a 1000000 people facing famine condition. that's $16.00 of the population of, of, of the region of t grey. and it was brought about by intentional blockades on the part of the

government and its allies. and so for them to now argue that, that, that the cease fire is to improve this humanitarian situation. that could have happened to months ago. and they were really serious about avoiding famine and the 1st humanitarian outcome that to him in hudson from the atlantic counseling we thank you very much for your time. thanks. let's hear from him morgan. now a correspondent who's reported extensively on the refugee crisis. remember, the 10s of thousands of taken into crossed into sudan. hipaa has more now on bear reaction to the sci fi from ca, to a majority of them who've been speaking to say, they just want to be able to go back home. they want to be able to access the farms that they've left behind. many of them have told us her roofing stories of being their families and relatives being killed, of neighbors being shot to death of farm that they see a ready for harvest, but being burned by the obey who they say were her malicious and by retrieval

forces. so lots of horror stories that we heard from the refugees. but those who we've been able to reach out to over the past few hours to hear their views on the latest developments, say that they don't know what this means. does this mean that they can go back home and be able to access their farms and return to their normal lives? they're not sure if that's what it means, because the t p left and the p d f are yet to announce that they have accepted the fire. the unilateral fire that was announced by the government of prime minister abbey made some of them also say that they want to know, what does this mean that to great is now an independent country. they say that's what they want to see happening after the month of war. that is seen what they say, the ethnic targeting of degree and by fellow europeans and by a return troops. the united nations has welcome to sci fi by european government and has urging all sides to allow that humanitarian work. to continue this, we call for calm restraint and appeal to all parties to the conflict to abide by

international law to protect civilians including people who have been displaced and to ensure that humanitarian workers can continue to exercise their duties and reach as many people as they can, which are in need of vital assistance right now. 16 minutes past the news, all the rest of today's needs and coming up for exit blues, the european citizens, the deadline loons to apply to carry on living in the u. k. also a century of communism, china celebrates epic milestone. we're looking at how the nation is fed under the one party model. leno. my c celebrate in the style of the new appearance record for argentina peter goes like ah, 124th of demolished a palestinian business in the neighborhood of phil,
