this is for the soul of the nation, and he is going to insure through his government, ensure that he quote, unquote, berry the enemy with our blood. so this is expected to get nasty and this comes us jeffrey of the u. s. says a u. s. invoice for the home of africa is expected to live ethiopia. any time any moment today. and he was of what we try to get in touch with the embassy. they tell us they haven't been able to, they're not able to confirm whether he has met with the prime minister. but this pushes ethiopia, and the t p had left to perhaps find a common ground and, and this conflict that begun in november. busy and has really affected more than 2000000 people, just displaced people and thousands of people that have died. and it also as an

of this comes as mediation efforts continue between the 2 sides with the help of the united nation, the you and the national figures as well as neighboring south sedan. but right after the announcement of the release late on thursday, the 4th of freedom and change coalition put out the statement that the top official members off the coalition. and that's the coalition that has led anti government protest movement during the december of 2018, up to april 2019 revolution, which saw the president bashir overthrown. that movement now says that 3 of us officials have been arrested following a meeting with the un mission here. and put them still hands on al jazeera, why house authorities in the polar discouraging people from attending large devali celebrations. the netherlands considers reopening a controversial gas fields as fuel prices sore head of winter. ah

that have been an opposition to each other and are willing to get together for what they would describe as a common enemy. which is the common government any the opiate, cale and sasha, there live from washington. d. c allen, thank you. china says it will stop people. he support taiwan and dependence from entering hong kong, macau, or it's mainland aging says those who support independence will be held criminally liable for life. the comments come after years and european union delegations, visits in taiwan and recent days. china considers the islands to be a breakaway province. we are really convinced that the more you have interaction between our international community m theory worm, the less done jurors the situation would be in the street. it's not a pro cation to come to k, one in pakistan, supporters of the tele,
