7:34 am
a referendum that could lead to the countries 11th state. people were in 6 parts of the southern nations. nationalities and peoples region were asked if they want a new south west state. have a listen to what some voters were thinking just ahead of the referendum here a bit with the organ. okay. every log from children. the ad on is what it wants car for to become a region. get a little this. police, as you can see, is a very dense forest law, and we have a lot of coffee. the bigger lilo, a carby in the rest of the country. everything is growing and changing. when i compare coffee with other places, it's still backwards. for more on this we are joined by barry cat, asha t miss ella. he is a lawyer and electra who writes about political trends in southern ethiopia, barrett that so good, so happy. i'm going to start with a map at the f and p p ah. region in ethiopia,
7:35 am
there every area that if you're going to give us a little introduction to the, sorry, what would you tell us about the geography that people, the ethnic groups all mixed up in this area? tell us introduce us. thank you very much for having me. are in fog with it and it is one of the huge a region in there in the country. it has more than $56.00 nations nationality. isn't it a huge enough for it sources and also human capacity. but for us is from the inception of different system in the country, there are a turmoil, install the political turmoil for the question, having an india and thence, if by a different legion, and basically the main factors that leads for ask for our being an independent region was a lie is factors,
7:36 am
but one of the major reason was it just to relate to is a failure to find item straight structure of that orchestra for the multiple multiple groups within this region. and as a result of these has made for bias groups in this region to quest for having an independent really region and that one of the southwest region, which has custody of what for refund them, is one of the indication of that i'm just looking here at people voting in the referendum, have a look a on my laptop there, a cat. how did the referendum go? we don't know the results yet, but how did it go? what was the other thankful? basically in a strong expectation that i've been there there probably to that region to be found at the new region. and this was a lease was very strongly asked by the people within the region. and i
7:37 am
hope that they find them will end up with all right, so if there is a new south west regional state, what defense will that make? it makes a huge difference. for instance, one of the difficulty relate to the existing structure is that although federalism is sold to give a local people in the old port trinity to answer them. so it was due to the great geographical distance between this region in the center of that the seat of the united states. as i saw, that people who are not able to make their voice be heard forwards to understand your needs, aspiration, the priority, or even the state of the show. we're not able to supervise whether they are or if you have to be implemented out to local liver,
7:38 am
$0.40. it takes more than 3 days to go to the united states hasa for the most part he put on what it does of chicago and debate his own. so if this a state, the, if the current structure is in its place, it's hugely a sort of the problem of an issue and i'm station of the region. and also if you look at the other reason, there is a strong problem. but in this region, in this house, mission, national to send people region in general, all the big group who swear to land put together. and it does not adequately manage the settlement pattern, the language and as a state that under the constitution. and, but if you look at the southwest region, which is going to be established to try to integrate that into account force, those are those zones which we are within the southwest region. the new region of south south,
7:39 am
some we know settlement pattern and the people do have some ok. very similar language language they speak. and so many advantages are there. i want to put this t, this is from going to, he's a political analyst of what i for every e p and he's a to go out of this. i want to bring this comment and because he is predicting what the central government and how to step into government will react to this referendum. have a nice say, and then react and meet you know, the back of this figure. regardless of the outcome of the referendum people in southern new york, i can at best hope for cultural autonomy and that they cannot expect political self determination. the central government to will as it is doing elsewhere in the country assigned individuals that are loyal to them. and repress those that are opposed to in the original government. yeah, exactly, it's. busy right, so because even the establishment of this region before the publish ment of this
7:40 am
region, i do have a lot of information that the government, the central government was trying to organize the committee, which would probably organize the new state how the way it could be published at a 100 responsibly the organizational then you know it and i think the problem of this in the government was in time for making the referendum because there is a general election would truly expect that by central government before that time i've already passed in the central government as established a national change already off now. yeah. the marika. thank you. thank you so much, jenkins. just just as your connection is about to peter out, it's a perfect timing cuz i had just have enough time to say thank you so much for, for bringing us your thoughts about the potential of
7:41 am
a new south west state in ethiopia. next we had to venezuela, where people are getting used to a new currency. the government is trying to fight, run away inflation and says that banking will be easier under the new bolivar. it's the 3rd time that the currency has been reset since 2008. here's what some locals in caracas are saying. i love it, made out quite. i'm pretty. the 1st time 3 zeros were removed from the currency. the 2nd time it was 5 zeros, and now another 6 years have been removed from the currency. then they say that this does not affect the value of products. how can it not? if you add the whole bunch of zeros to today's boulevard, what does that represent here? there's even inflation on the dollar, but that's the way it is. we have no choice but to live one day the time. right? oh yeah, but i will know your growth and old for me. i believe that the only thing that is going to improve is that i won't be carrying so much money. because to carry $5.00
7:42 am
worth of boulevard in cash, you have to carry it in a suitcase. so i believe that the only thing that would benefit us would not be carrying so much cash in our pocket. nothing else because the prices do not go down . they keep going up so i can oh, see, and is a correspondent covering latin america for writers. hello, sarah. i am wondering if that gentleman was exaggerating. would you really need a suit case previously to carry around $5.00 worth of the previous of venezuelan currency. it is, is, was that over the top now he's right, and he's a, he's a bus driver so that the very small portion of the population that actually ever handled believe any when i was there for over 2 years and i never was used. but leave it in cash. so you know, i think what this current the change goes is essentially just make make
7:43 am
transactions easier. i'm just trying to imagine what happened. what's the difference if you're living in venezuela the day before the currency was introduced and then the days after how, how would i know i'm going about my life going about? well, what's different now? it's funny because actually i had a friend text me and say, so i have $30.00 worth of probably my bank account. people don't keep very much cash in their bank account because inflation, so you lose a lot of money which has not changed with this currency change. i think it would not go to the grocery store. can i still use it to go to the grocery store? and really what the answer is. yes, it was flashed off another 6 zeros. so what, you know, let's say this changes all the time, but $1.00 was worth $4000000.00, believe it or before, it's now worth 4 mill for delivery. all right,
7:44 am
so when you go into look at the prices instead of you know, a dollar whatever peaches equaling $4000000.00 it would just be 4. and then that way that obviously like the highest bill note before where the $1000000.00 bill the but a and now it's a one believe that a coin. so that reduces the amount of cash people need to hold, hold on them. all right, so what about sally? take a teacher's salary, for instance. how are they faring out right now in terms of this new policy trying to course correct the economy? what would a teacher's salary be like today? well, i mean that's a little bit difficult because then as well as in this process of over the past 2 years, the dollar has been used a lot and it has just grown in popularity and now it's basically used for everything. so then as well as kind of trying to figure out how to adapt to this
7:45 am
because some people, it's a very small section of the population, do earn in dollars or foreign currency. but for instance, the workers still make a minimum wage. whichever is around $3.00 a month. so you know this currency doesn't change basically anything other that change doesn't. it doesn't change anything other than, than calculations counting. chuck, so i want to show you this on, on my laptop. it's from tweet, as because they knew we were talking about venezuela today. so a b, m to 63 says the measures illustrate the fact that usa needs to lift the financial sanctions. it imposes on nations the impact, but it's wayne is politics because i read the regular citizens on the ground. suffer. thought sarah. yeah, well, i mean, i'd say for the economic recession in venezuela started around
7:46 am
2014. and the 1st, actually, the 1st time they did this to the currency happened in 2008. there were question started in 2014 and then the us imposed the 1st round of sanctions in 2017. and then the economy got really bad. i think that and then they did it again in 2019 i get the oil company and you you definitely it has made conditions. the sanctions have made conditions on the ground. worse conditions where we're taking a very downward trend beforehand and, you know, at the end of the day, it's the question about inflation and curbing inflation. so venezuelans can feel like they have a place to store their money. right? and basically right now it's just going to continue to print it's none of my friends hold money and believe in their bank accounts, it's just on a transactional basis. so you need to pay, i don't know,
7:47 am
a painter or you need to pay somebody in for liberties. then you have to go and find someone to tell you the believe it is to keep it in their bank account. right . and you know, access to us dollars is very hard because of the sanctions. so just to give you an idea, you know, by the end of my time in venezuela, which was 40 years ago, people were walking back into the country with thousands of dollars in cash on them . often to even resell it because there'd be shortages of $1.00. let me let me pay this to you. this is gemma. he was just a few hours ago. so i have a list and then respond immediately off the back of the video. his younger brother here is a lot of pumpkins for years of fiber inflation, at which most benefit the wonder currency. in fact are all the 2 thirds of retail transactions are being done in the us dollars. but those are all much deeper. and y'all, zeros on a bill latest measure one too much to reverse the 70 percent g
7:48 am
b. the client in 2013. and want to bring back the 5000000 people who have left their country since yeah, i mean that that's absolutely the feeling on the ground. when the people, my friends, people who i know there, it wasn't really have much importance to them. of course it will make it easier because, you know, you don't have to print life. $27000000.00 on a receipt, and you don't need to strike a credit card multiple times to be able to just pay for like a box of strawberries or whatever. but he's right at the, at the end of the day and inflation is, is continuing. and although it's load with the introduction of the dollar her around 2000 percent. so i'm just going to go look at your new account. this is sam, a canadian at espinoza, and if you want to follow sarah, which i know you do a new snotty showing that 76.6 percent of venezuelans live in extreme poverty, up from 67 percent last year. we were talking about currency here,
7:49 am
but this is the real story, right? yeah, and you know, again, what's, what's weird is that, i mean, now essentially venezuela is moving toward the dual currency situation. but these dollars and the private industry that you'll see, you know, there's a lot of things happening on instagram, for instance. and there's a lot less shortage of goods because they really relax, import import control. but that's a very small for the population, right? that can actually access and the most people, you know, like exactly extreme poverty, they're living on less than i think a $1.20 a day. wow. and prices have increased with the dollarization and they continued to increase the wall. for instance, you can technically medicine, you can't, nobody can buy. yeah. yeah. so i can ozy and for writers, thank you so much for joining us on the street today. we appreciate your analysis. finally, to, to nicea where the gulf between supporters and opponents of tennessee is present at
7:50 am
pace to be widening rallies both for and against president chi saheed have taken place in chinese recently. you know, some voices from both sides of the divide. yes, we want to deliver a word to case said no, going back now and to prosecute all those who have committed crimes against the people. that is the main and 1st demand to prosecute all those who have wronged the people have been myself. the most important demands of the return to the constitution and the parliament. there is no country in the world without a parliament and without a constitution. and there is no country in the world in which a person has monopoly on all authorities. and we are against it. even the ousted dictators anil aberdeen ban. ali did not monopolize all power in the way the case cited. this is very strange. the more in the tensions into nicea, we are joined by independent journalist sam kimbo, sam, get to see. i'm going to be quite toughening to, to start off with your headline. what would your headline be that sums out what is
7:51 am
happening in tennessee this week to day? what would you go with her despite the appointment? oh, i of the country's 1st female prime minister and major questions remain about teenagers, democratic transition. oh, no foss. let's talk about the moot in the country. give us an example of that mood . how would you sum it up? well, i think you could say most places that you go in the country, the feeling that you might get on the street is you might get a sense of anxiety attention. i mean things, things, in many neighborhoods in a lot of cities, i mean kind of street like, seems to be going on as normal or as normal has been over the last several years. but there's, there's a lot of anxiety and a lot of that comes from core is produced by at least the tension between those who
7:52 am
support the president. exceptional measures who took on july 25th, which include freezing of the parliament and the dismissal of the minister along with your being parliamentary immunity. and supporters of those measures that they can on the 25th of july and sin and those who are opposed you know, and often and very staunch re opposed and those who were kinda waiting it out. and i think those who were waiting it out kind of in a middle ground are those, you know, with the great extensive anxiety i was speaking to, for example, a long time activist and organizer down in south western city. the mining city brings a lot of the countries welcome back, but long marginalized. and she was saying that she had gone out initially on july
7:53 am
25th to support the president's extraordinary measures that she thought it was the only way that the, the, the squabbling and the major dysfunctionality in the government. and the parliament in particular could be, could be stopped. whereas through the measure and she thought that was the only way but, and she initially read or some kind of hedged optimism, the appointment of junior, just 1st female prime minister. and when pushed a little further, though many of her doubts came out, she said, okay, we have to wait and see if the prime minister will, will bring any good things to the country. but she ended up saying, but this prime minister has very little authority, especially in the face of the president, kind of consolidated the executive and legislative authority. and so she said,
7:54 am
we simply cannot have a return to the days of the dictatorship, as she said, under the former president's denali. so there's a lot of ambiguity and ambivalence and then some, if you speak to the kind of more active crowd folks who follow politics more closely and get involved on the street and those who were out in the revolution of 2011, there's a lot of pessimism and a fear about a return of dictatorship said sam, i want to play federal kaboom. he's an economics professor dennison university, have a listen and they responded. i'm afraid that the support that the president currently has will gradually dissipate and disappear. and then we'll find ourselves in a deeper political crisis with no constitution with no parliament, with no coherent economic vision to take the country out of this quagmire.
7:55 am
yeah, it's, there is an interesting, well, worrying position that the country finds itself in. now where the president cited has concentrated so many executive and legislative injustice powers in his own hand since the 25th of july and removed those from higher institutions that could renew his decisions or check the powers that is, leads opposition with really only kind of more radical options, whether that's taking to the street or striking or, or otherwise. so, there aren't these kind of formal political institutions, the ones that have been constructed since the revolution of 2011, to kind of mediating conflicts and check them powers. so indeed, i was just speaking to well known activists in journalist humans down the street
7:56 am
from me and my neighborhood. and she was saying that she, she'd likewise, she thinks that the political as well as the economic situation where she's in central all of this will decline further. i'm trying to think and try on that. what impact this political tomo is having on every day life? how do you see it's playing out? well, it's been appeal like what gets a lot of the a lot of media attention and a lot of analysis in the political turmoil of kind of the, the high level at the formal level. and, but what has powered that and, or what has power of the social turmoil, as well as the local, most recently had been the covey that at the demick, which, which tunisia had initially responded to quite well in the 1st month of 2011, with one of the lowest infection and death rates in all of africa,
7:57 am
but which by the time of the president, history and measures had become the highest death rate in the world due to cov, it so that there was, there was massive, outraged and massive frustration due to the mishandling of this and then i can health crisis. i not to mention the rapidly rising inflation and unemployment and because of the coven crisis, tremendous crisis in lots of jobs for ordinary people, especially in the informal sector. so yeah, it's caused a lot of confusion on the street and like sam, thank you so much, sam kimball, have a look here on my laptop. you can follow him on twitter. i do some on the roads and you can catch up with all the later on to new z, a via sams twitter feed. thanks for watching. if you've ever got a story idea for us at the stream, you can tweet up at a stream. i'll see you next time. take everybody
