12:06 am
to try to detect that is escalate the situation, which is it becoming was, was every, every day. ah, on did have to can watch it a significant measure in terms of accepting a deployment of the original force. the idea is not new, of course, because on 15th of this month, already the king on president ha, codes for that most to be implemented. now, this has been formalized by the a, the head, so states of the, all of the 7 african countries, a part of this african community. so that is a significant most, ah, the implementation of casa, is something else under property. yeah, either that it to communicate dusky, it's quite a lot of room for, for the beds going forward. so yeah, anybody saying implementation that is actually when you think they might actually get it together and get people on the ground, does that mean it's, it's, it's quite very complicated. it's a very complicated process of his process. basically, as you can see,
12:07 am
also in the community that was issued at the end of the summits. that does look at the process into ways that there was a military solution to, to, to the crisis or in military initiative with the department of regional force. unfair, already you have quite a very good issue because a lot of members of the companies baseball class had made clear open statement that they do not watch any force which includes wonder i within the province. so that was clear already and a half since, since the community in a little out of political force as such as lucia, which is a very if threshold of civil side movement at precisely making that same point. that being said, that they, they, they communicate says doesn't leave open the possibility of basically having the, that not at least exclude any concrete, which means that they then following the rules of their or the community or countries should not increase capacity based on the reason of course the 2nd leg of the, of the age of the committee can, which looks at the political processes are the infantry,
12:08 am
3 fighting was seen and analyzed in many ways as the moralist. part of italia, of the mentation of the political process, which was about the consultations got mitchell's connection with rich, they and groups so to communicate. and they, the decision that they had a fit to contemplate, much oh, the implementation to lean on goodwill in conducting also this political process. or positively. you mentioned the m 23 rebels as part of your on said to d, r. c is blaming rwanda for, for back in these rebels, randy says, no, we don't do that. they deny it. and tell us more about the route that's escalating between the us here and. and rwanda is over, this particular it's a very complicated process because i mean it's known that the acquisition about rhonda, supporting and 23. what are ready level in the past as well on. but the amazon there was that was it defeated in 2013. ah, the leadership of the party did flip both to uganda on dwanda,
12:09 am
but they started regrouping in the last few years. so they were already on the soil for the last couple of years was a very much known in many different reports of the u. n. grocery companies. government pretty much knew that he was, they were there, it was really meant to be gauge, gosling. the naval station is nairobi, so he initiated last month. and with all of that in mind, the happy and of course, accusation about rwanda supporting them. i'd say while soldiers captured on congo, wanda claims on rondon soil, which are presented as proof of that. but we still have in hot the hot proof that is needed in order to, to shop the backing. of course, probably in the, in the future. many more discussions and more efficient mechanism will conclusively tell mono scott be denied and is not having that profit as well. so but going forward the day that the company's got me is very adamant that rhonda is behind that. i'm going what probably of golf course that has created quite a try, middle suspicion between the 2 parties. that being said,
12:10 am
am $23.00 is mainly or so compose the poet main opposed of concord. ease of finger on a speaker on what is from north keybo, who have been clear, ha, ha, ha, quite a number of sets of claims that they claimed have not been implemented by congress . got met. the very name of the movement imprinted great arises from their, their non implementation of their argument on what he's got been signed with a form of mentor. this indicate fixing to him, to thank you very much. indeed, for doctors, my pleasure and men of kill at least a 130 people in a massacre in central. molly, i'm only in government has blamed and i'll kind of affiliated. i'm group for carrying out the attack on neighboring towns in the multi region. a local official said, it appeared to be a reprisal attack after the group clashed with government soldiers 2 weeks ago, coming up on out as they are. this news out a landmark election in columbia. what of countries 1st left wing president and 1st black female vice president of been ushered into power, extreme drought conditions,

12:12 am
you're allowed to risk of a great. i mean, you will lose special, you know, don't that cain has more. there's no suggestion that the e u is sensitive to the suggestion that its sanctions against russia are counter productive in one sense, namely that certain countries in africa and elsewhere that rely on the sorts of food stuff that are produced in ukraine are having difficulty in accessing them certainly suggestion was put to your cit, burrow high representative for the on external and foreign policy about precisely that in his answer was no, that is not the case. the impact of sanctions for the ears impose is not affecting the ability of african countries to get hold of fertilizer and then food stuff for their economy, for their peoples. but there is also the suggestion that by d swift in certain russian banks, that means by sanctioning russian banks not letting them use the swift transaction
12:13 am
system that to has impacted upon african countries and other countries and developing world in how they get hold of the sorts of things they need for their people. and again, mr. bar else contention is that that is not the case. in his view, the problems that many countries on are facing are the consequence of russia's actions and not of e u sanctions. russia is demanding unless you're in your immediately stop borrowing a rail line from supplying goods to a russian territory on the baltic sea. colleen grad is home to 430000 people and is cut off from russian. it's surrounded by if you and you and poland, both of them e u countries, a rail line through bella, luce and if you and your is the only land route to get supplies in from russia. but this union officials say they can't let it through because if you sanctions, which reportedly by the transport of steel and other goods, the russian government says it will respond to protect its own interests if passage isn't restored. samuel romani is
