1:03 pm
and advancing on the open capital. after days of private discussion, the ethiopian crisis was due to come under the spotlight and the security council. but at the last minute, the meeting was cancelled. the security council president reading out a statement. the members of the security council expressed deep concern about the expansion, an intensification of military clashes in northern new york. yet the members of the security council for their express serious concern about the impact of the conflict on the humanitarian situation in it. as well as the stability of the country and why their region. it's understood that this replaced the statement that island and kenya had been working on, which called directly for a cessation of hostilities. a phrase that russia reportedly objected to. the role of kenya is critical illness,
1:04 pm
waging african fears about western intervention in ethiopia. the senior diplomat has told me there's broad consensus that the african union, along with neighbors must take the lead in resolving the crisis. the prevailing view is that african problems require african solutions. but not all, we'll have to wait until next week to see what action if any, the security council takes in support. my kind of audience era united nations. while twitter has temporarily disabled its trend section in ethiopia after threats of physical harm, in a statement, the social media site says it's monitoring the situation. it says, inciting violence or g, humanizing people as against our rules, given the imminent threat of physical harm with also temporarily disabled trends. alongside continued efforts to disrupt platform, manipulation, we hope this measure will reduce the risk of coordination that could incite
1:05 pm
violence or cause harm. so that's happening on social media. let's makes a journalist. i'm going to tell you, he'll give us an update from this about on the situation in the north of the country. what are you hearing about? what's happening on the ground right now? were al jazeera has learned that the u. s. envoy to the horn of africa. geoffrey feltman had a meeting with 8th york on actors in this conflict. and they were not able to agree on a road map on how to solve this conflict that began a year ago and move it as fast moving forward. but this comes us opposition leadership as being assembled in washington dc. we've looked at some of the names and we have been, i have been checking of they are do have the support needed with the exception of for the t p. a left which is represented by a former foreign minister, was a minister for 2 years. under the t p. left laid, coalition government,
1:06 pm
and the oil left. there doesn't seem to have any support on the ground. and ethiopian government has highlighted their effort as publicity stunt. instead of having a coalition to us, they said defeat this government. the government led by prime minister abbey armored. but the pressure to ethiopia is still growing. it comes as the canyon president and the uganda president in particular, is trying to hover summit to trying to understand and solve the issue of conflicts in the country. and the u. s. government, which is threatening to consider trade argument with yoga, is also insisting on having some kind of a settlement on this conflict. but the u. s. is again being accused by the philippines side of siding with a t p, a left at times supporting providing weapons to what the tilt been side claims to
1:07 pm
be a terrorist organization. the philip and parliament has said to pierre, left as a terrorist organization, putting in doubt the african union's effort to try to solve this issue. when the t p are left as designated us at a terrorist organization, making their jobs real difficult. tell us a little bit more about the african union efforts to solve this and whether the countries will be taking any sort of real steps. because we know that international pressure is building is my kind of was just reporting in his report as the security council did manage to find some consensus. but what are regional countries doing well, the, you know, the, the open a d'silva is really the global capital of the continent where the african in headquarters is stationed. so there has been this idea of having a, you know, giving us enough recon solution to an african problem. but that's coming in has
1:08 pm
appointed a former president of nigeria trying to have them deal with this situation um, sooner than later. because again, it's impacting not just thousands of people, but millions of people. but again, it's be difficult for the african union to deal with an organization that has been designated as a terrorist organization. so everybody's focused on the summit that's going to be happening on november 16th laid by the elder statesman in the. busy region that uganda and president and to see if there's going to be any kind of solution. but again, of the embassies, the u. s. embassy has been warning it's residence or at citizens to leave id saga. and even saying, as far as financial obligation is concerned, the embassies willing to help them. so again, putting much pressure to the ethiopian, and the t p a left. but again, they took on site as assisting this is any fuel brand internal matter and should be sold by ethiopian leadership. and that's where we are at the moment. thank you so

1:11 pm
scale of the general strike to be as big as at their previous weeks. but we'll see whether that is true or not to morrow. yet the military says that despite all of that cause for the general strikes and they're putting better case on the streets and the that the protests, they are going to keep the schools open. however, just a little bit ago, the a did the amendment of the university of hartwell, which is one of the largest and the oldest educational institution in the country, says that they have suspended all of the classes on till and north a further notice and are so there is a lot of diplomatic pressure and the pressure seemingly on the military leader is, is that have any, is it having any effect at all? well, definitely it has a fax on her and we'll hounds out to the team here because mainly men of the expert says that did that, that the future of these military take over is going to be determined by the,
