8:35 pm
presidency is linked to maneuvers by state outside the region aiming desperately to isolate molly, while his government accuses former colonial power, france of excluding it once friends, now foes. the 5000 french troops deployed almost 10 years ago to protect molly's government from attacks or pulling out after the military coup in 2020. the leaders of the gentle hired russian mercenaries from the wagner group for their protection . the gentiles refusing to hand over power to civilian rule for another 2 years. and as a result, neighboring countries have imposed sanctions on the landlord countries ceiling its borders and halting. trade prices have exploded. for example, the price of soap has doubled and food is much more expensive. basic necessities have become affordable and this is because of the embargo. if this continues, we won't be able to survive. this is unsustainable. state coffers are becoming
8:36 pm
empty with just enough to pay civil servants for a few months target has offered to mediate between molly's genta and regional leaders. while the un peacekeeping force remains, the un secretary general warns of the debilitating effect. while these troubles are having on the rest of the region, threatened by armed groups, while he is increasingly isolated, with russian mercenaries remaining to deal with a country on the brink, nicholas hawk for inside story. all right, let's take a look at the g 5 sa had a joint force. it was formed in 2017 and has forces from martina, molly geor, or king of faso and chad to counter armed groups in the region. but it overlapped with existing mandate from the un african union and the west african regional block, a cos that overlap meant all those organizations competed for limited financial and human resources. france supported the g 5 and gave it substantial military and financial support. but molly's military leaders have asked paris to withdraw all
8:37 pm
its troops and germany and the you have reduced their involvement. and molly, instead focusing on you in operations? ah. all right, let's bring in our guests in molly's capital, obama co, nan choro. yes, summer k. molly and politician and president of the party for civic and patriotic action in freetown, in sierra leone emmanuel, quasi and director of the research at coffee, an international peacekeeping training center. and in some mellow and france. jacqueline senior research fellow at the global policy institute, a warm welcome to you all, and thanks so much for joining us today on inside story. young corey, let me start with you today. so the spokesman for molly's transitional government says that the opposition of some g 5 sat had member states tamale's presidency is linked to maneuvers by a state outside the region. aiming to isolate molly, could you elaborate on that statement?
8:38 pm
is the spokesman referring to france or, or referring to another country? well, i will say for myself of course the money. ready maneuvers from the french government to isley my a d l a b is the year is the form of is listening. ringback and also i'm looking for funding for you. so when we say that there are no mil to state influence, you know, because chad is in the past and return it. and so i'm rotating presidency. my was zooming presidency studying and there are finally never. so
8:39 pm
we see this as a refresher to continue to isolate emmanuel with molly pulling out of the g 5 joint force. what does this mean for security in west africa and who ultimately is now going to look out for security in west africa? when i think there's been some confusion about washing down relating to this securities phrase by hell in west africa, while we see locally or a kind of quote of actually presenting is just it's to, she's seeking to respond to prevent and decrease a threat. we are fixing malice to withdraw from the face to hell. for me, it's a natural question wishing of the for kindness
8:40 pm
in those centric modeling centric policy that did jump, seeks to implement. now, i think this is going to be the last step after the dismissal of the french from molly and european crews really never succeeded in bringing security too much. and i think the bottom line that we need to be clear that those will start to bring peace of mind is to do so. so to, to blame on the job. and there was no group as contribution to the insecurity, i think is truly a barrier. as human, but other than himself has not just come out of their daughters tissue
8:41 pm
to shoes, to their crib, relating to governments. that's how we can release time down to our protocols. and on benches there were specific principals in down into principles that these governments probably originally blenders and simply just kept quakes. so really has become description border representing the color to sheila and lose more to naturally institution. and because of the, i'm a long chemistry chemist agenda. a bug bite is you know, some sections of their populace. ok, we added a little printer force certainly led by france through it who us to undermine that for so many. and i think that is critical about their mother and increasingly independent spouse and assets and is so rich is a we are seeing such resist,
8:42 pm
dental to red chat. we are seeing aspects of new se, emmanuel, i'm sorry, my manual, i'm sorry to interrupt you. let me get back to the point you're making in just a moment, jack, let me ask you, were you surprised by molly's decision to leave the g 5 joint force and, and from your perspective, is it time for some kind of a new strategy to confront armed groups no one that surprised at all. because a actually, the g 5 was almost a dead r, as in michael would have said about natal was brain dead really? not at molly at stop cooperating with the french. molly is at the core of, for either geographic or, and military center of these are this region where do need folk operation between 5 states is necessary in order to combat terrorism. and ah, now that marie was no longer cooperating with the french, it meant that the g 5 had not much of
8:43 pm
a roar edible. dora de g 5 was to provide to coordinate international head to the region and also to help military ye armies of the region in the fight against terrorism. now that when malady decided to go into her own, it was, it became, it was impossible to achieve. and we can see now that for example, a comparison to maria suffered from it and is probably benefiting less from injunction hence than are the origin. we see that marie, a position of money is very hard to understand for somebody bought a claim that is because france was not successful against terrorism. but actually france as was fairly successful, do not manage to bring peace in the area. it was just due to the french, it was due to a failure of governance or on the part of the local authorities,
8:44 pm
leaving the north of the region interstate offer really very poor administration and great security and military physical and economic and security a default or at some point, mary decided, it seems to the french that many, many c straw as big as a leader. offer movement, kind of fighting deal, grow your bar, the presence of the west in the region, and especially the presence of france. and it seems to be wanting to fight it and play at east fight in which it would be helped by russia at the wagner division, which is more there to protect the manual gender, to protect money, an interest in moby and many, many, many experts. so yeah, no, no surprise at all, you see that money is carrying on. it's in its approach to the situation
8:45 pm
which you accused of friendship or young ones used there before you got cool. i've heard interruptions, but i just want to get a reaction. i see me on choro you, you were reacting quite a lot to where jack was saying so, so i want to get your take a, go ahead and jump in. well, you know, preferably, you know, i just, in my mind to come to the understanding we're finding is the more it we just clearly are. so we just one, you know, listen with a we don't want a leash to dictate, we want to with big country or any nation might want to say in the rest of the world. ringback those who want to keep us in the complex
8:46 pm
unity is not the time has got we have that money as a nation. we have to respect our decision to extend to other nations to fight terrorism. this is car because the g a that has been implemented for 9 years as se miserably fe we have. ringback today with less than 5 months on mileage breaking cooperation, especially in asking for partnership. so her situation has significantly not by a nuisance other observers. so we have to come to an end for us is not a our position is we want to say,
8:47 pm
we want to issue a new one, respect, a partner that were left to work with our 70 is well done to money in this. so having said that, i think that we should be converts my wifely in with this or other people might have from defy what was to begin with an absolute organization. no, never to auction because a lot of funding levels of those issues. and there been lots of money but which was never what i. ready you 5 which is just not so big. ringback what we do is just saying that we want to reclaim our mom was it was an issue residency surgery. and the conference of the hands of this guy was,
8:48 pm
it was me here in bo and then for the president money, it never happened. there was no release and so he has become a factor absolutely. organization. so money, right? we do for you 5 emmanuel a. let me ask you the g 5 south has joined force, has been fighting on groups link to iceland, al qaeda in the region. but the soldiers have struggled to contain the violence. why has it been so difficult for the g 5? so i have joint force? well, it's very basic for training, limited logistics, limited integral probability, and always this perception on big rather looking down on their members of the team and pulling their screams and controlling, direct mary on it. let me go back a little bit and provide a historical context of why my list decision to withdraw is critical.
8:49 pm
malice behavior right now is almost reminiscent of don't talk to him his behavior in ghana, in the 19 fifties and early sixty's leading to this. yeah. yeah, cool. and also what a sampling in man and, and i said this very clearly leaving the gym by the hell is, is going to be proper to cantino of specific ashes there. the janitor is going to take to read claim mildly sovereignty. it's identity is sense or agency and some of the fairly i wrote down to responses coming out, i re, particularly this statement by the defense minutes that you know about this disrespectful behavior towards them. a call is simply not acceptable. and i think, you know, should we do good where the death of the wolf it would be coming that i remembered
8:50 pm
that silence is great and the rest is richness. you know, those who see to bring goods to mad, must be humble enough and to see how do we listen to another sort of in state. and as she own that we come back now and love grades in a man left our kids, the interest of that not at the center. and then my last people in reading them around at is not going to help. because when people to go to one of the french legion did much worse under countries, well present military companies and, and waste in the dark on, well, and also wanted, for me and a historic campus passion about miley, is that a service? both international, respectful, my rights, the rules role,
8:51 pm
and also one of my young people to do what? shock, what's the relationship like between molly and france right now, and where does that relationship go from here? the garage of a sir non existent, actually it's a come from traditional or and it, sir, it's a shame because there's so many millions in france and we have so many human links between the 2 countries asked when he could your legs, are there 2 countries we is share history even dory, as it could on your history. but a lately, actually france was more seen as a helper army of liberation, but eventually came to be seen as a now army of occupation. but i think it's part of a campaign which is spreading draw of west africa at i wouldn't maybe sustain it, but considered a russian nurse. i burn it works. i had some influence in whipping up anti french
8:52 pm
feelings. india. we've seen it in republic of center africa, where now are since 2016 the wagner, the russians are there and bring themselves to, or dinner, or results is diamonds and gold. in the indian office central africa, we see that in many they're trying to the same. we can see that this move to was unsticking. the french is, are still taking place in synagogue synagogue, which is origin a country because it's not just decided to terrorism. there is unsettling door origin and going up to the gulf of guinea and to the ivory ghost. and it's kind of a sitting process and some people are arguing every cancer. no, but definitely, you know, that africa is a treasure chest. every one was in on africa, and as
8:53 pm
a result, we can see all the countries want to be there in africa, china, russia, turkey. they are ramirez, a. every one was to be able to head them center, mineral resources of africa. and therefore, want to take the place of the colonizer the crew yet is, and in the case of west africa, france and embodied nigeria and gunner, it was britain. the process remained as we turned close links, which is ignoring your dependencies, which makes it d i door can print ad in spite of its efforts to break with. it's true, france has exploded africa for a long time. but since then, there's been a trying to re bonaza relationship between the countries and, and france is no longer the same as it was even 10 years ago and had been big changes are long and her and my home. and therefore, it's, that's why there's why the french are worried is part of a, you know,
8:54 pm
my lee is just a small bees, even a much bigger game, which is all about, or some countries wanting to exert influence on fe when governments, whatever, or people say, the ad you enjoy to go to say is very weak government, very often a jack arises from his next question. i'm sorry to interrupt you again, but we, we are really starting to run out of time. yeah. young girl, let me ask you if it looks like you want to react somewhere, jack was saying, i'll let you do that. but also, i want to ask you about the fact that molly's military government has also saying that it's security forces to worded and attempted coup, led by army officers and supported by an unnamed western state. what more do you know about that? and where does the investigation into it stand? well is the, is the young frustrating than many people are come to the
