he's the senior ethiopia analyst in the international crisis group. and in lagos, emmanuel quincy, an ng, the director of research at the cofi and international peacekeeping training center . welcome to all, if i could start with quincy, then. so 1st of all, is this still time quite the full, the us, the, the a you to broker that sees fire? when i think every, every addition to both, both patches who's to broker some in the shower agreement that will bring the past use around the table is very useful. but even marker county, the role of the, of the african union. i know, and i do recognize that it's in a very i corner printer ok, had his host to be just

a guess. then people look at the p and it needs to be very tight rule to bring the apaches together. i know efforts have been rejected and they also species around the president initiative, but i sent africa on mass by all of me is one of the critical that it trying to bring the multiplicity of warring factions together because in the long run, can they still do it this time or has that window closed? well, there isn't much time the, the, the opposing forces are released down the clamps and the very little tide. the for came to coming to this thing that we

have them will mention the size that rhetoric from this shows increasing desperation. and i think there will be a lot of high call forces with being and or me out process would want to create an entry into and this will be the best right side. ronnie. time is running out before we go into the situation on the ground. let me bring william into the chat and ask this question william. right now, there's quite a number of diplomatic efforts going on, how aligned all the interests of international powers in e. c o p. right now, i don't think that's a major part of the problem head, whether it's, if you enjoy us and boy president kenyatta and the canyon government and then also received the cheese. martin griffith as well. i think that will push it broadly in the same direction here. they want to see the humanitarian situation addressed,

needs to come through a see foreign negotiations. the problem is any external actor really you're getting any traction with the job in protecting it, to the, to kick re leadership. now, things that are in a commanding military position that for adopting and increasingly hard line positions, even suggesting that there's no real room for negotiation with prime minister beyond that now. and of course, you know, prime minister beyond any government have been resistance. the idea of negotiations from the outset, they said that that degree leadership is no commit to treason essentially, and launched an insurrection. and may they classify them as a terrorist organization. and as we've seen the increasing military victor, victor, is that a put that, that take right leadership and polish mood, or we've seen from this up by doubling down cause for without mobilization and estates of emergency at the moment, no sign of

a recourse negotiation. but that really does threatened to be particularly stabilizing, and partly because the war could come to the top of that could have knock on incredibly serious effects. but it's a great and it's been, it's not least in the forms of increasing state oppression and perhaps more violence therefore, and international crisis group. we think more than ever there was a need for the federal government to take action to really facilitate a to take wry rather than ciocca. we've just seen the rest of 70 well through program contractors in some mera key point on that age group. we also need to see the federal government unblocked services. people are running out of cash and to grow, run out of cash because there is no banking services, no telecommunications, no electricity. if the federal government takes these measures that might convince to pick right leadership to stop the advance. otherwise they look depressed on 1st

by trying to take control of the boots, the car door, and choking at its alpha. then if they do not get the confessions they want and things continue to go that way, minute terribly. they will press on towards that is how with an alliance with the remote liberation army. and again, that threatened to create a huge amount for the stabilisation in this oliver and potentially be on. all right, so it does look like momentum is against piece acids. so now let's get the perspective from addis ababa and samuel, as william noted that the rebels feel like things are wrong, their side, what is the perspective from inside of a? do people have any genuine hope that may be peace and a sci fi can be achieved, or are they resigned to some kind of stand off military stand off in a suburb? a now, over all ethiopians are really endorsing the idea of peace. if your parents are peace loving people, it's a, it's

a founding nation that founded african union. and i, i believe ethiopians overall do support the idea of peace. but they also want, if you appear to be recognized as an independent nation, that can decide on its own with an advice from its friendly nations. but overall, a d'silva has been really since the beginning of last week been concerned and worried about what's about to happen. the local government said, you know, they told her residence to register their arms and also defend their neighborhoods . that's very vague and that scarce a lot of us. but overall, i think us, we've seen, you know, it's again this conflict as a wage issue among ethiopians. you either like it or hate it and you can only see the kind of a conversation that's been happening that us toxic us a gets on social media. but if your beer is an important nation, it has

a population of more than 110000000 people. it said diplomatic capital of africa. and i mean, i don't see, i don't think anyone would want anything but piece for this country. and the african n envoy has said there is a small window of opportunity i think that should be pursued and peace needs to come to this region. and what happens in ethiopia will affect other neighboring nations as well. crazy what strings do international powers have left? now to pull on the different parties that war, we've already seen. the u. n has been pleading for access humanitarian access, the u. s. is removed, it's favored trading status for ethiopia. still the parties seem like they want to go at it. this is a family war, believes i see the issue, so identity issues, the issues of how i gave the issues of mr to invoke it.

so i think well, from the perspective of both sides, dry we decide 3. is that and i think the, the temporary fault basic, i mean it in, in this conflict is that where farms to ramp up or down to get more people. ready to sign up to the war itself. i apologize. obviously we're having a bit of difficulty with the connection that requires the let's continue with our other guess so. and i guess when i got to ask the question of, what would it take at this point to convince the opposition not to go for the capitol? because it does feel like they are very confident and eager to have a go at addis ababa? well, as i suggested earlier, i think given the military situation,

as we understand it does seem like something needs to be put on the, you know, something concrete needs to put on the table to, to stall, continued pressure. i think that pressure initially would come and i mean this current efforts by the to great commanders to try and take control of the. ready booty trade route, therefore, but economic pressure on, on others. i think, you know, unless there are other sorts of measures rudy's trying to sort of take a to take away where there's hundreds of thousands of people in the family condition. whether you know, kind of a threshold, what all those measures that the international community could take right now to convince the opposition new or not fall from this out of a who feel i have meant him on the side to pull back. that's. that's what i'm talking about. there isn't, there isn't any leverage the nothing if it exists the leverage, if it exists,

needs to be applied on the federal government to encourage them to take action, to relieve the effect of the want to take right. leadership considered to be a speech of the region which is threatening to kill hundreds of thousands of people in the region. now less that sort of action is taken, then it is likely that the great leadership will press on an amount of that i'm describing. the alternative is that the federal government and its allies tries to win the war. but in the last few months, they seem to have been losing the war. so the issue is that there isn't really that much pressure being applied by the international community. they don't have that much pressure. also if you look at the statement coming out of, for example, the united nations security council the other day. now all these suggestions urging for the take right leadership to return back to, to gray and stop fighting. but the take right leadership is fighting in its own mind according to its own, just occasion to try and overcome this stage. the try and reclaim territory that

they lost to am horror region at the outset of the war and to remove what they see is existential security threats to take right now, it's understandable that people want them to stop fighting, but they made the decision to go on the offensive in july, after removing the federal military frantic right. and the era trained military in june. and that is the reality of that situation. we haven't, it will not let me discount the question though. if, according to that scenario, if the siege is lifted by the central government forces on t grey and that are on the less pressure would that encourage? would that really encourage the t p l f and its allies to pull back? if they're on the less pressure than they're in a stronger position, would that encourage them to go further and say, well, why not finish the job? and i think it would be, it would make, create a very strong case for the international community. just as that placing pressure

on the federal leadership, to make those sorts of meaningful concessions to try and save under the thousands of lives and take, right. i think they would also be in a very strong position to put pressure on the take right leadership to stop that advance stop trying to achieve regime change, which could be incredibly the stabilizing in terms of the war coming to it. it could also catalyze your further state repression and most violence against the grand civilians. i think at this stage you know it, it certainly is the sorts of course of action that should be achieved. and i also acknowledge away your question is coming from. we have seen a particularly bullish positioning from the to great leadership, talking about no negotiations with abby ahmed and his allies. but i think, you know, given how critical now dangerous situation is, what needs to be done is to place that pressure on the fed to leadership, to take some, to make those concessions in terms that you might, it's area and that's and restoring this. right. and then put the pressure on the take right leadership to show some restraint. ok,

interesting point. let's take it to samuel than if we could, samuel, do you think the central government, once that sort of negotiated resolution or cease fire at least, does it want the sort of pre conditions, perhaps even power sharing arrangement that might have to prevail if they lift their siege of to dry and they give some space to the t p l f. i do not think so the children side as already said that he peer left as a terrorist organization to her us, you know, they have declared them as such. and the teacher left her said the top and side is creating some form of genocide. i don't see them sitting down in negotiating. but you know, the african indian has been for the most part in the continent, has been irrelevant in the past. but either the window of opportunity that this president, the president of the former president of nature, the african in an invoice, said, is really a historic moment,

not just for ethiopia, but also for the african union to really get in and make a difference. you know, at the beginning of his appointment, a t p left was against his appointment because there said he is so much in line with ethiopian side. but he went to, to great, spoke to the leadership of a t p, a left he came to our, the suburb i'd spoke to the prime minister. he went to, i'm her region a far region where much of the conflict has been happening in the recent weeks. you know, us, you know, that to great conflict is no more within the region. it's also and i'm high enough far. and when you have that kind of personality that's willing to be engaged and vice versa, from the main actors, i think there's a window of opportunity that shouldn't be missed. i don't think, i think all actors recognize the fact too many people are diag neath yoga. millions of people are being dispos. let me jump any samuel down that window. actually signing about this call of listening to won't really idea that our sexual,

if i could, if i shouldn't, as defy, could jump in samuel, if you can hear me if that window opportunity hinges according to the analysis by william, at least strong pressure being brought on the if hope in government to lift the siege to try and improve conditions in the to gray region. if that window is based really on what the central government decides to do. and if, as you said, you don't think the central government wants to go down that road, is there really a window that's open here? well, there is an opening, it's been seen by the african in an invoice. but let me just address the united states for a moment. it's a great day should ethiopia and the united states have had a strong relationship for many, many years. it. but the reality is, when they call on a con clocking of a to think ray and a restoration of service to try and achieve the piece it keeps talking about. do you think that a should be facilitated?

not sure. okay, to gray at banking services should resume electricity, telecommunications, to try and stop the tick ray leadership pushing forward at this hour. it's a really simple question. all right, let's give samuel a chance to answer that then go ahead. okay, thank you william lynn. okay, let me just, there's an assumption from the united states whenever they're sanction, and such countries like if your peer, when they cancel a trade agreement that really benefits the poorest among us. mostly young women. it doesn't pressure the children government to come to a table and negotiate the united states has to play a role in ethiopia. i understand. i get that. i mean, the u. s. is a powerful nation, it's her forehead, my own father requesting the education. and i want to know when he was a young my have but of the reality rather than william, it is really regarding whether you think this central authorities should be willing

to ease the situation in te gray. would that help? of course, of course, but there's also an argument from the european side that the t p l f is playing a role. just look at the report that came out from the amnesty international today accusing tpl of troops of sexual exploitation. so this kind of accusation us reflected by the united nations and the human rights commission phase. all actors are involved, they all have to play the role. so i can of piece. so the idea to focus on one side and play one side only is just a minute left seconds to each gas very quickly. first william in 30 seconds, what would a bigger civil war in ethiopia mean for the rest of the region? 30 seconds william. well, i mean, i think the answer is obviously the vital country and the horn of africa, we already see raging civil war. forget, you know, the last of tax breaks,

the exports is to us. we already have a devastated country, a devastated economy. we have no idea how many thousands of people have died or could die, particularly as a result of this speech, we see allegations of rape and other atrocities against the 2 great and rhymes. we've also seen those against the so if this continues, then of course it could be ok and let me give a quick, 30 seconds on the same question to samuel, what will it mean for the rest of the region for somalia, for a trailer and, and so on it means more refugees will be heading to neighboring countries. there will be famine. there will be a break up of relationship from, you know, countries that can really have benefits. it's been over the benefits. the relationship between ethiopia has always seen us helping ethiopia all the time, but the benefits has to be 2 way forward. and there has to be a way to understand the side of ethiopia at the side of the t p. a left and really

bring this to partners to peaceful negotiation will be a bit beneficial not only to ethiopia to neighboring nations, but to the european nations that will be soon getting much of the migrations that will be heading their way. all right, let's thank our guests for joining us on this show. william samuel and of course crazy. earlier on. thank you to for watching, you can see the show again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com for further discussion head over to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash a j in science story and also join the conversation on twitter handle. there is a j inside story from me, sam is a dan and the whole thing here for now, goodbye ah
