amend the woman's protest, her revolutionaries, and also walk with people's go for the fashion of their soldiers and police from the military. and i last guest in omar, thank you. are welcome to the street. please introduce yourself to our viewers around the world. thank you for having me. my name is kin omar. i have been a long term human rights and democracy active is wrong. and my bro, my since 1988 as i was a part of organizing the well known nationwide pro democracy, appraising, known as the 8888. currently i'm the chair of the human rights research and advocacy organization called progressive voice. we are look on your my human rights organization. thanks for having me. get our view as you've met your panel. let me tell you what the key question is that we're talking about on youtube. so you can be right here in the comment section, section panel mia mars pro democracy activists in jor, military pressure. that is the conversation we're going to be having in the next 20

minutes or so. surely, let me start with you. we've been seeing extraordinary, very, very chummy pictures of the russian foreign minister meeting of the head of the medium are military on wednesday local time. when you see these pictures will show you some of them, that relationship between russia and me. amar, what does that do to what is actually happening down the ground? that there's an ally there for me, i'm all for sure. and vice versa for russia. so the russian foreign minister and i think this is a 1st trip to me and mark that this is not the 1st sort of trip bind. they rush, you know, weapons aches and there are also different military to them. but this is a fact impasse and meet in person. this is to me, m r. and when i see that pitch has that be a heavy now, you know,

lively conversations between these 2 dictators, totally installing the people of them are not just the people, but also to ask. yeah. and also do the region in asia, because right now the flooring, so minutes start meeting happening. and at the same time the russia foreign minister came in, you are to be installed directly with your marketers near my point. so clearly this is a sign also at the same time, the chinese foreign minister also what's the need, you know, the capital c d not long ago and now restaurants already. yeah. and we don't know what will happen next. this is totally consenting for democracy. forces in the region also in the stage. so oh my as a contrast and just looking at chris gun, it says tweet here from the me him accountability project. this is what chris says

. so good to see me. i'm out empty seat at the, at the and meeting, but an empty chair is an empty gesture unless it is backed up with meaningful economic sanctions. and diplomatic measures such as recognition of the and this is the national unit and government that is was put together when the military coup happened. i'm just going to scout screw up a little bit so you can actually see the empty chair there. so how do you have an assay and peace process with assay and not at all with me? and i'll look at the assay, i'm meeting of for ministers. how is that possible, oma? um, 1st of all the, the us. yeah. and make this decision not to along the, the leaders of the qu, to attend the summit, or some of the, the top level top political meetings. and since last year, october, that was a good decision. it was a good a ride to reach is that it's a direct

a decision in the right direction. so for us it's good to see the honda is not there because they don't belong there. this seat belongs to the people in my, in, in, in that sense it is for the nation, the unity government, the people's elected, legitimate government to take a seat to represent the people on them. so for in that sense, as he and made a good decision. but like chris said, that's not enough at all because i see in, in fact made this a 5 point consensus, which the, you know, like i last year more than a year now that they made such decision. and in that decision all along has failed . so while we see is there with this fight, why consensus decision from there i see in the hunter is hiding behind? and actually it is a time delay. ted take for the hunter to be able to continue to commit these atrocity crimes that they are doing against the people on the and my so the us

e n must wake up now. you know, well before things getting way too late because now i see and is left with very little credibility. you know, when it comes to me and my so they really need to not only leave the seat empty, but they need to actually invite the national unity government and walk with the measure and unity government to solve the crisis at nathan, i totally agree with the all mean, all mucking, all the international community, especially the us, you, china, india, japan must realize the, the, the normal military is not the part of the solution. the military is so if they so soft go through it. so the, so is, so the international right now is a time to recognize the and new g as a legitimate government obama. and also engage with the abilene revolutionary forces known as like, you know, e, r. all. so that is the only the in

a way for the year, you know, what rifle wave for the bomber to be solved in nathan, i'm thinking if the military is not part of the solution. so if that and to check it is a metaphor for they do not deserve to be at the table. and then you go to the national unity government. is that no war, nathan, that you're suggesting? i'm suggesting that the, you know, not good, not only the recognize the military and the more military, but also to recognise the fully ledger to make paula to the a new g government. so i am talking about the future by the, at the current situation, the international community full to recognize the truthful solution for the country . because you know, against us bag draw. so there is no way to do that. no, we're not doing the business as a normal for the international community, you know, issuing the stay ma'am, you know, express their concern a short and you know,

they're watching their situation closely is not very helpful. i be enough. is enough. desta. i'm actually at some simply thought of, i want to share with you from our new chief audience, and i'm just going to include some of their thoughts here. and why is russia supporting me? m. r. briefly, surely. thoughts? oh, that's obvious that russia been back in the mar. yeah. my military before it was military taken over the whole country and in 2010 we had our store of election led by the military. and after that, people, people keep demanding democracy more quickly. but the same time now military trying to attend a coo again and now he has again the rudolph, russia, and ty, not come back, come back and see some believe they're exporting their dictatorship, but not just they are system, but also the civilians equipment. and then also funding the military in the m r

to hold the power. and that's clearly the reason that the begging them are military for a long time. and at the same time with that, us, us trying to be in the south region and then russia is coming now to you know, kind of challenging the us and also democratic location. and then i'm going to try to get some more who think what they want to talk to all of the, all of the guess. this is one for you that i'm going to show you at the ann could be a 4th in the region if they were active about human rights. omar, we thought, oh yes, definitely. i've been involved in developing this as he and community for a long time. actually, and it's been really disappointed in hong the se, and has become more of like this on to chrissy the club of audio crazy rather than

club of democracy or the, you know, for the, for the b ball. so it's, it's the, you know, the i, c, n has such, for example, said bought a body, they call as the human rights commission, right. or the refugee with alex or women and children wise protection commission for example. but these all are under the control of the government and independent we what we need is the human rights bodies that are independent and impartial. and yet this region completely lack such bodies. and therefore, we couldn't bring the such great human rights violations happening in all countries . not only in the mob room, but also i can come bodya allows vietnam, we were not able to bring it up to the regional body. and in fact we call as paper tiger because that is no take nissan. i have one more thoughts from you, from our viewers who are watching our conversation right now. i am worried for the people after they have declared a state of emergency. this is an extension of the state of emergency that's been going on for over a year. if they protest, they will be hurt. nathan,

you know all too well. what being heard and being tortured is like yeah, you know, anyone can be killed the gun, fly off to me. i'm a soldier. anytime that is the best pitcher i could give it to you now for what is happening on bama. so you know, you know, since the and constitutional cool. so does the military in or turn the whole country for all being stewart into it, kills, do a diverse, did a one with the go there and, you know, with the conflicts and keel. so the people are now fighting but so you know, that's be, you know, they're taken by the whole country. so that is, that clearly demonstrated that the we of the people must be russ. but so in this situation if any one or any gantry consider supported him, your mom military, a, c, q, sion, and the committee in the war crime, a serious you know, the crimes against humanity. i mean that is the very shameful. you know,

walmart for the history war history july, 1 of the things that we really wanted to make sure that we addressed today was how the people of me am, are a handling the additional pressure from the military. are you seeing a different kind of tactic or strategy in the military are using now, instead of emergency has been extend of a gang, which means that they do not have control of the country. where are we now in this movement, back to democracy or the movement for the military to try and secure the country? so this august, 8th, where march 34 years of you know, anniversary of the 888 for a to have allusions. and so, you know, we've been seeing in, on tremendous amount of like crimes against humanity was crime in different areas, even in,

in the revolution. they have kill countless through and lead us and you know, of walk us civilians, all of it. and now be flying to say almost similar, but now even more rudo like they are, you, they skulk our policy nationwide. they've been bending down different houses, more than 10000 houses were banned villages, the whole village. this was gulch, you know, for an art and at the same time we have a secured us for political prison and more prison are more political activists are in line to be executed and they use them more and more brutal. we'll, for example, a special volumes in different coughlin so, so at one end of the war and the terror campaign, you know, nationwide. so i would say they been using more and more tactic. but the same thing is, is the fear, you know, the trying to stay fear to the people. and now this is different in 2020. why is,

is the young people expose it to the internet and using different create a way to, to, to counter is not a physical who is also a digital qu. so the young people using different way to counter, at the same time, not to come during the game, you know, we are trying to form our own game. so we are, we were tired of playing along with the game, including the, to the out, the constitution, just 2 days, a young people bend down to the constitution in the, on the street of young go, you know, that clearly a sick and all that. surely we don't say or we were forming our own game. i want to hear a little bit more about that. but 1st i'm going to go well via the project manager about a full wrap against the hunter. it's a group of creating a group of artists. you will see that his face is covered, obviously for safety reasons. but this is as the spirit of the resistance in miramar, or at least one side of it. let's have a listen. let's have a look. the more me

a more to where the people are, the g p u n b is in say oh oh, now yeah, we got a motion for lucy, so she's not oh wow. oh course, and you can see a problem not a so i, i hear that hate coming from the resistance, but i also hear that coming from the military leadership as well. i'm just going to play this to you, oma and i really like you to unpack it for us in rate. the way that the military is, is thinking about the way ahead for them. this is the military lead at men, all line talking about the extension of the state of emergency alma

mater don't count on dad. he made utmost efforts in discharging the states duties with might and main, but internal and external terrorists and that conspirator, person. his and organizations are committed to the utter devastation rather than the flourishing of democracy in me and my demography drago you did was a semi 1st of all, we all have to be very clear is that this military is and has never been one for love. but it is an institution, they teach their soldiers to hate the people they teach soldiers to hate their people with their believe in democracy on. and also this is the military who has never believed in dialogue either. and our country for many times have tried peace negotiations, dialogue with this military to have

a political settlement. that is a saying, a, an hour long democracy movement and a movement for at the ethnic horizon equality. the political crisis must be soft with the political solution and all the actors involved have trying all along. but we always face the bottom line. we go back to the square one and square 0 all the time is because this military don't believe in dialogue and also would be what they want is they are ongoing power an iron grip over the country, but not only in politics, but is actually, is economy because we are a country, unfortunately, or fortunately, or unfortunately, we're, well, a country very recent natural resources. it is an a resource cars because this military know that, you know, they can, they can actually grip a bill. this an economy web and a person, a wealth from, from that,

the natural resources. so what they do is they know that they can not let go of their power. so no matter at what cause they will continue to remain. and that's a very reason we're telling the un and security council and the us, he and look this military if me, than solution it lies with the people on the, on my and people am, i have already fall last 18 months, at least continuously showed. well, what they want, and also what they are trying, sacrificing everything of their life, especially the young generation. so with talented un and the us, he and his like, you must actually come to, the reality grew up on the reality is that near my will only move forward when this military is dismantled and broad and the civilian administration, civilian control. that's the only way for them to move forward. and the security council reading needs to act. and if so, jody garzo cannot act because of china and russia. beloget. we need the other

democratic countries like the u. s. government e u and u. k. and australia and japan use a lap form a like minded, a like minded, a group, an egg on with responsibility to protect. they need to protect the people on them because people there might have been protecting themselves and defending. we know of this many trees. but barry vow lens for the last 18 years, i know the time is no waiting and then do and reading need to and, and at u. s. government also need to impose sanctions on the, the name of one and guess i thank you. i was my when i asked aloud a few minutes with nathan nathan, i feel you will be aware of shown crispin, chunky spanish from the committee to protect journalists. this is how he sums up that the media landscape in me. him. all right, now i'd love to hear your thoughts of the back of this because obviously, journalism media, a free fat press, is really vital the any county that wants to quote itself democratic,

he shall mia mars media faces an unprecedented crisis since military coup makers have moved to stifle independent news report inside the country. since last year's qu, publications have been banned. journals have been jailed and even in instances i'm killed while in military custody. we see this as a concentrated and targeted campaign against the free press to stifle news reporting to effectively outlaw an independent media precisely at a time as the qu, makers are being accused of extraordinary rights abuses across the country. nelson . yes, i totally agree with you. what a chance sir, you know, in a, if you, if you look at the, a whole, you know, bud drop in the, in what happened in the last 18 months. so the media is new or no longer easy to do to report it was the a c in a what is happening in bama? no, you are no ride to live. that is what happened there. and actually the rest is done

is growing, you know, delivery the bomber. so we will see that, that is a kind of like a 2nd, you know, independence movement. you know, soon after like a sunday for years, you know, are with the golf live a. so the people right now, the a protest in against him, your mom military in the 3 different way with the missile brought asked the, you know, pots and pans, you know, as also the silence tries. and also the why got in the military brought her, including the cd out, you know, see the disobedient movement. and also are they are taking, the am struggle in or against the military in are under the guidance of the ad. the nice, you know, revolutionary forces the finally a, they are asking the war not to give the legitimacy, not recognized him on military as a government. so done it, we have be 18 months to see that what is happening if the you know, the revolutionary war that,

that is happening in bomb our. so the war is still watch him. you know, no, and i little let me ask you a question because we've got one minute left. i, i want to ask you this, the journalist on our panel this question have a look here, my laptop again, just recalling what we asked the very beginning of the show can me mars pro democracy activists endure military pressure? this is a one centers, art in milton, but you're a journalist. i know you can do a go hack. yeah, you know this at, you know, it has been 80 miles. you know, the warriors stay watch it while we are doing english, the journalist and the people the no longer receive, you know, the paper sick wrist you know, fall in a paul. thank the most we are. yeah. thank you very much. have been caught of to day shed. and shanae alma answer your questions and comments on youtube as well. i see next time. take everybody ah.

in a post colonial world, the stars of european imperialism run deep. nowhere more so than in the democratic republic of congo. where her recent history still shapes the president a visceral yet intimate insight through the eyes of a whistleblower and a patriotic military commander witnessed presents. this is congo on a jesse either. ah
