is an indicator of malnutrition and it's searching and t gray. according to unicef, ms on brought her child here. oh, when she got sick, she didn't get the proper treatment in our village. that was because of the situation there. she didn't get proper medical help. it's been like this since june . when fighters from the te grab people's liberation front or t p a left, captured the capital micheler. and ethiopian federal government put its population of half a 1000000 under blockade. 14 per cent of much needed aid has entered the region since then. according to the un and no medicine. the number of children being admitted to hospital has doubled this year, as their families run out of food, water fuel and the cash they need to survive into shapell al jazeera, more in this as paint. alex de vall, executive director of the world peace foundation, he joins us live from somerville,
12:10 am
massachusetts, by skype. thank you for speaking to us. difficult to independently verify or confirm what is happening. have been reports of an escalation in the conflicts whereabouts as the fighting concentrated? well, just in the last week, the ethiopian government, which had been amassing its forces, a massive numbers of new recruits, also new weaponry, launched an offensive in and around the town of dessie and hara reaching to the south to grey. that hasn't gone well to the government, they seem to have suffered some serious reverses. and the 2 great defense forces, which already sprang out of nowhere at the beginning of the year and drove the government out to grind june as, as your correspondent mentioned. and now taking the counter offensive. but the key question is, are they going to be able to break this block a siege, or is being united nations international communities going to be able to overcome
12:11 am
the joke in governments. chief weapon in this war, which is hunger, are they going to be able to change the policy whereby the open government is deliberately starving, the people to cry. right, and this is a course you're referring to ensure open governments shut down as telecommunications aid. ruth's aid hasn't been able to get through to the region and all his mounting humanitarian crisis is the war. now, entering a new phase, the wall house has has moved really quite rapidly. i think the to grind forces have shown that they cannot be defeated militarily and all the rhetoric that was coming out from prime minister abbey, a man saying we will vanquish these people, we will drive the mountain cetera, cetera is really shown to be to be plaster, prominence. darby is really now being forced to,
12:12 am
to negotiate. he's going to have to come with a, with a proposal. and i think that the 1st demand on the to grow inside is allow aid to come in. because this is, this is a war crime to, to, to submit people to starvation on this scale is beyond what is reasonable and war it is actually criminal. what is your opinion on these fairs of state collapse as a result of ethnic conflict? i think that the history of ethiopia is that those who have tolerated or inflicted famine over the decades last 2 digits in muncie. and for haile selassie was overthrown one year after he failed to respond to them. and in 1973 ken woman gets to highly, highly mariam. head of the military young tier in the 980, has created a famine as part of his war and lost credibility legitimacy as
12:13 am
a result. and i think what we're seeing now is the med is not only losing international credibility, but the war escalates us. food prices increase across the country, has more and more people getting can displaced any credibility legitimacy. he may have is fast eroding and he has to very, very quickly and to show up the very fundamental sort of ethical base of government which is provide for your people. if you fail to do that, for sure, you will be on the way and you were mentioning am hara there. specifically the town of jesse, where the government has staged an offensive. i'm just wondering about a far the other that is the other region where we've seen a spillover of the conflict from to grey. what is happening there because there is
12:14 am
a crucial land route. that's the humanitarian aid. liver to main routes in integration of strategic importance. one is the, the main courage or from the, from the capital of scenario to, to grind. and that is not actually affected by fighting that could actually be used quite easily for humanitarian con, gone. and then further to the south in the vicinity of death, he just over the border in the region of there is fierce fighting around the town of chick for. and what i hear is that that is now under the control of the to grinders and sources. and that the very substantial european army call that was, that has been decisively defeated. now that is the case. then what this does is it opens up the possibility that the 2 grounds will advance and actually block the main access route from the port of g booty to the city of addis ababa. and so that would seriously escalate. not only the political crisis in the theo can capital,
12:15 am
but also we can nominate crisis to thank you very much. i appreciate you joining us on when you are alex demo. you're very welcome. thousands of demonstrators rallied me in the presidential palace and hard to him. as you don grapples of the biggest political crisis since the ousting of president bashir that calling for an end to the transitional government that supposed to lead the country to at 1st elections after 3 decades of dictatorship. hey, bill morgan has more. i 1000 of protesters again gather in front of to dance presidential palace. but for the 1st time since the country's revolution in december 2019, the coalition that organized these protests is different. while it carries the name of forces of freedom and change that let protest against them. president bush here . this group broke away from back coalition, mostly made up of our group there,
12:16 am
calling for an expansion of the government. there is injustice within the forces of freedom and change. we all participated in overthrowing the former regime. there are 33 bodies in the coalition, but not all are participating. we don't see ourselves in this government, and we want to know why the monitors others who have joined the protest came with different demands. we know when we got the, there has been a distribution of power and that was not the goal of the lucian. people didn't protest for these in 2019 to 5 today, milk and bread expensive. here to demand the government of taking the protest reveal widening rift between the factions of the civilian military transitional government, a rift that has been growing since an attempt to call last month. the members of the new coalition have also spoken against the bullying component of the government using it about getting the slogan of the pollution that brought the power on friday
12:17 am
to dance. prime minister on the left hand address the mason calling for dialogue between all scientific government. i would not be exaggerating. if i said this, political crisis is the worst and most dangerous crisis that threatens the transition and even the threat entire country and warns of a terrible evil. this is due to the deep splits among civilians and among the military use as well as between the civilians and military. most of those who called was that it is profess, are in the government at the national level and have her presentation in some states as part of a peace agreement signed last year. but they want to be included in governance all over the country to have a wider reach on elections are held at the end of the transitional period with some analysts say the roots of the crisis lies in the peace agreement that was signed last year. and which called for arm groups to be integrated into the national army. what is different? this sounds that you have a lot more of each group. we have a lot more civilian actors and have
12:18 am
a lot more armed access to. and even within the official arm groups, or at least 2 very big camps, the protesters here say they want to move from the presidential palace until the government is dissolved. once again, sudan finds itself as a political stance built as divisions continue to hold it back from its transition to democracy. he but morgan, alta 0, her to still had only use our ah, new zealand deploy as musicians. gimmicks i'm giveaways that holds a 24 hour max of phone to speed up its inoculation drive. amid the ongoing turmoil and me and mar, regional block asha delivers an unprecedented snobs to the country's military leader. and amman is getting ready to play a role in the international sporting calendar will have that story later in sports . ah,
