11:38 am
proceedings conducted by a job in national institutions do not much the scope and breath of the violations we have identified. a key concern of our report is due accountability, national health, proto, these have the primary responsibility to deliver fair and independent proceedings that address the full range of violations, identify rather than isolated individual instances. if national authorities not in position to do so and international in the pending invest, independent, investing at the mechanism should be considered building on this joint report. such a mechanism could then take steps to undertake criminal investigations and gather an analysis, evidence of a full range of violations and abuses that can be directly used incompetent criminal court, whether that national regional or international levels. it is crucial that the governments of it to appear on every chair,

11:40 am
we heard earlier from michelle, a bachelor, who said that all parties committed international human rights violations. and that some of those may amount to war crimes. she said there's been more shelling of mckayla by ethiopian fence forces. she said her office has had reports of shelling, summary executions, airstrikes resulting in civilian deaths. and she also made mention of the fact that this report only covered from june 2020 to june of this year. so obviously, anything has happened since then has not been in the scope of this report. she went on to encourage all sides to find a peaceful solution to this conflict. let's bring in san, you'll get it. you who then addis ababa, samuel, if you've been listening to that press conference there, tell us a little bit more about what was said. well, she highlighted. no, it's just one actor committed all this crimes. there was all actors including the piano, the fuel,
11:41 am
they're going showing your highlighting the clock that victims that i've been talking to, the media talking to anyone who's willing to listen to them. i've been traveling to without jesse or i travel to my country. and also i try, i've probably to, to great, we've been hearing this allocations from the get go. and this highlights exactly what we've been hearing from all walks of life, but just one section of the field. but from all sides of the copy, i was interesting that miss ballad bash lay there, said that the you in a box on this request at the box on this investigation while that at the request of the ethiopian human rights commission. but she did go on to say that there's been a troubling lack of transparency. i mean, these are some horrific allegations. how do you think that the federal government who's likely to respond well, the prime minister spoke earlier today, highlighting the, the one year anniversary of the start of the conflict. paying tribute to the
11:42 am
soldiers, the children soldiers, they have yet to respond. this report just came out, were waiting for their response. we have been trying to get in touch with them, including the head of human rights commission for comments. we just have to give them the benefits. we know that access has been difficult, obviously for investigate is there also for journalists. but some of the, i want to understand whether some of these allegations about, you know, summary executions, the killing of civilians and acts and the killing of civilians. in my contra, with these events that we already knew about, which have been confirmed by the us, or how much did we know before this report came out? when we've been hearing this negation from the get go, it's not just integral. it's also in the, in our region, all kinds of allegation will little system to verify some of the serious allegations. and some of us have been waiting for this moment,
11:43 am
waiting to hear this report. it's dependent report that's also been done with the help of the fuel pen government, the job and human rights commission. but we just have to read the report and go from there. but again, we've been hearing this allegations from a long, long time. basically what has defined this conflict because a year ago is the sexual violence that this we forth highlight. the commissioner was highlighting giving examples of a glimpse of someone's life, but again and, and then nation of bits of millions that this conflict has produced. we're going to need it. you'll need more than this report to bring this to a conclusion. it's been about a year for all of us, even though so reporting it from a disc. seemed to michelle bosh. and i was at pains to put the, the voice of the victims at the center of this. and she came back to what time and time again, you know, saying that that people who have suffered one accountability,
11:44 am
you know, she, she was saying that the, that the report found evidence of killings of torture, of rape, of the abduction of civilians. people not involved in this conflict as combatants. she also said that national parties have the responsibility, responsibility to address the full range of atrocities, applying the, regardless of who that were committed by. and that if that doesn't happen, an international mechanism should be set up to do the job. do you think that there will be something set out by the federal government to do as she said, to address the full range of atrocity there has to be some kind of address. i mean, you'll need to address what really happened without any compromise. but at the end of the day, you'll be a, is an important nation. and the question has to be the law from sources to investigate and bring who ever committed this crimes to the justice that the
11:45 am
victims really, really is there. but again, there seems to be in ethiopia would be both in writing this report. i hope that's a down payment to a bigger option that would be taken ultimately by e. feel bad by all lockers. really want your pets forward from the nightmare. as we said this report, the cutoff cutoff date for the investigation was june of this year. but meanwhile, you know, developments continue in the latest developments to p. p l. f says that it's captured to towns on the way to the capital. is this the fight being brought to a sample? we don't know, the job site hasn't technologies. the fact that tests in both have been taken by the t p and they've been saying there was why things and they choose the end up killing more than 100 young people incumbent. each open government, the local government has been saying that you need to take arms reached their arms
11:46 am
and dispense their interest, their neighborhoods. so you have to read between the lines if they're coming or not . just finally, we're going to report in that a p n. government communications officer has said that the air force has targeted a military training center of rebels and in the countries north. what more do we know about that? we know very little. they haven't spoken. they haven't commented, commented, but this continues the option they've been, they've been taking since the last 2 week. i think this is going to be the f strike . but again, the job title is the things that they're targeting the training sites with a cheap enough or a priest that money fracture. you know, all kinds of stuff for the people who support in the us. they have to other towns outside of including in the harder so from hard enough for our time, you'll get
