government and all the fees fire with immediate effects, but it's not 100 percent clear if it's being observed because communication has been so poor for many months actually. meanwhile, the u. s. is warranty and error trade? it will take further action. if the declaration of a sci fi intake i fails to end the conflict, we heard from robert go take a little bit earlier speaking to a congressional committee in washington discussing the violence in the region. last month, the us imposed visa restrictions on both countries and economic sanctions on the if the obeah is at a pivot point at 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 orson. if the opiate in eritrea should anticipate further actions, we will not stand by in the face of horrors. in grey, more on that hearing,

shortly with she had her tansy, see his on capitol hill, but 1st malcolm web in nairobi. malcolm, as i mentioned, the communication is difficult, but what more you heard coming out a bit today along so all these celebrations who we've heard from the t p last leadership that they took the city in the cafe about 24 hours ago. we also heard on conform repel. they also took the small town ship a weeks about 100 kilometers to the west and a bit to the north, closer to the border with eritrea, eritrea who soldiers. i've also been involved in this conflict, fighting alongside the i, p and government troops, residents from sheer a said, the train soldiers that have been there for many weeks left the city and move north towards the tray and border. but the phones are off there as well. it's very difficult to confirm any of that, but it's important to understand that that sci fi that was declared by government

was unilaterally declared. it wasn't agreed with anybody, because the phones are off. we don't know if the government's holding a ceasefire and everything that the t p i left said since doesn't acknowledge that the fire at school and those comments that you mentioned just a few minutes ago about chasing their enemies even across borders. make it sound like from from that point of view, this conflict isn't yet. ok. thanks to that. now, come with with the update from nairobi there and now to washington, she returns he tell us more about what came out of this hearing today. you were saying before, there's a lot of sort of both side thing with regards to, particularly yes, i think as many of the questions of malcolm just raised all being raised at this hearing. how enduring is this declaration of overseas when you don't have any

work from the or a trans, or the t p l f, as to whether they agree also to sci fi? there is cautious. hope. i'm not sure i can say optimism, but certainly hope that this will lead to some sort of cessation of hostilities that will lead to a political settlement. we heard from the us system, secretary of state for african affairs, calling for a permanent political settlement for accountability for i'm centered, access to humanitarian age and so on, as well as we often hear. but you can see that all those questions of malcolm was, was raising are in the minds of sophie administration. officials and the members of congress. in fact, the 1st question from the chairman of the house for the 1st committee was precisely about that vow, apparently from, from the, the t p i left to invade eritrea effectively. and how can we say that things are getting better when, when we're hearing these sorts of phrases in the effects of a lot of uncertainty. but as you say, you can see washington russell with this issue because for

a very long time they have seen if youre pure as it still would ally in the horn of africa. and that is one of the reasons why the bite administration has been criticized in some quarters. even here in congress for many months already saying anything about what was happening happening in to craig. then you know, things sort of change in march and then and at the end of may, we saw those, those, those visa restrictions for officials involved in the conflict. but you can see that stopped threading that needle because for the bite administration, if you feel is important, is seeing through the prism of security objectives, whether it's a lot of state and, and other and other actors in the region. but also in relation to china. and if you and u. s. u. s. desperately wants to keep you on board with it as trying to expand its reach in africa, which is why we've seen this kind of, if your peers doing terrible things. but, you know, also all actors in the region doing terrible things that even sometimes in the same breath chevy mix,

the foreign affairs committee said what we're witnessing may be crimes against humanity, quite possibly genocide, but a few seconds later than what he would say about prime minister, abba is his legacy is in question. so you see there's a balancing list, severe things about what's going on, but not wanting to a portion too much blame to the prime minister with you because there's a balancing act. what role does ethiopia have to play in the u. s. a strategic outlook in africa, especially after what we've seen into grey over the last several months. thank you . she pretends we keeping an eye on that congressional hearing there in washington . we've also had the un talking about the cease fire in ticket. i hoping it will finally meet more a gets in as we call for calm restraint in 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,

fire. the unilateral fire that was announced by the government of prime minister abbey met some of them all to see that they want to know. what does that 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 the fellow europeans and by a retrain troop. now marson thought as the horn of africa analyst, a horn of africa and listen senior research fellow at the university of london who explained to us earlier how the to crane forces managed to take back control of the region when the. ready 2 brands fled from mikella and they were pushed out at last november. everyone thought they were finished. they would mount a small group authoration from the hills in the mountains of t grand. the best day is indeed how they refold and, and then reorganized themselves. but 10 days ago they launched an offensive life,
