ah hello there and welcome to the program. i'm laura kyle. it's been called the worst disaster on earth, and now the situation and ethiopia, t cry region is expected to worsen the un says the new a 2 year conflicts has left almost half the population and severe need of food aid . as despite a unilateral cease foreign march, which allowed the delivery of a to resume your military and group say they are still struggling to reach millions of people in need because of your soldiers. as a result, ma, nutrition rates have skyrocketed new and has called for urgent action to avert further disaster in the waterloo region, funding is running out fast conflict extremist groups coupled with the dryer

season we have seen in decades for 5 rainy seasons, have just disappear in in the past 4 decade, the driest we've ever seen it, and a long, long time, people are losing hope for the world food program. if we get the support, the money we need, we can save lives and we can bring home on. meanwhile, the head of the world health organization has described the humanitarian crisis in t grey as the worst in the world. touches at hand, gabrielle says, who is from the region implied that the international communities silence may be racially motivated to in terms of humanitarian crisis. i can tell you that the humanitarian crisis integrates more than you crate without in exaggeration. and i say it is many months ago. maybe the reason is the color of the skin of the people into gray. i haven't heard of been the

last 5 few months, several months is no even the head of state talking about that too. i condition anywhere in the developing world, especially why i think we know oh, easy appears. government reacted to these comments, calling them unethical. and one sided, the comment is a one among many unethical ones that has been made by the w. h o o director general and is not surprising. are using the race card and one's multilateral position to gardener the sympathy of the global north for personal prices and politics is quite unbecoming. of such a high profile, low position. or we have no doubt that the united nations willow review, the continued reach of the you ends are off off office by their w h o director general. or where in the author office itself. a clearly requires you and staff to act with impartiality and independence. well, let's take

a closer look at the latest w f pete report. t grey is in northern ethiopia and home to around 5 and a half 1000000 people. u. n says 90 percent of the population offered insecure, and nearly half severely in need of food. as, as half of all pregnant or breastfeeding women are malnourished, 33 percent of children under 5 also fall into this category. and it's not just t grind, neighboring afar and i'm horror regions are also affected. an estimated 30000000 people need food assistance, an increase of 44 percent since january. ah. well that's bring in our guests now and in. i'm current. we have sued her son and to grow an activist in cambridge, william davidson, senior analyst for international crisis group. and encounter brain is busy. now, i guess you yemen. you, if you're a researcher electra at the university of kent,

a very welcome to all of you. let's start by saying and pointing out that t gray is a very difficult beach and access has been mostly close to genesis the start of the conflict around nearly 2 years ago. sued what communication do you have with people in the region and what can you tell us about the situation? well, the situation is really dire and we know the communication sort of is completely out of service and then deliberately. busy because we saw some media outlets, one to the end extreme, the inmate what is happening in the sites. but currently we don't have to be honest, a clear communication with our family of what is happening except the

fact that many people are because of drug calling in each implemented by the government. so basically what we know so far is that people are ignoring what's happening in the doctor. it will say. ringback this is clear about many people doesn't want to discuss, but it is all you could order but not the fact that the guy is speaking over at this point. but it really is. it is also ignored of eman. ready of course, in mind as well. i do want to come in just a little later in the discussion for the moment. let's just stick with the situation and get a clear picture for our view as much as we can as to what's happening in the region . well, in the shaping government declared

a unilateral but humanitarian sci fi in march. so why is enough aid still not getting through? i think that's primarily for 2 reasons. one is that there has been a very heavy restrictions on normal trading relations. so access to the region, the normal you about terry operations and also these critically the public services including banking. so they have been restricted during this conflict. and although there has been some improvement this year and including since that truce and march because there is only a sort of limited opening of this blockade, it hasn't been able to meet the needs inside the grades of primarily we've seen a significant increase in food aid but through quite in direct route and also that has not been accompanied by sufficient fuel to be able to deliver the food aid around the region. then we still have the federal government blocking complex

services region. and this comes on top of a devastating conflict on a conflict where there was systematic destruction of agricultural equipment, the fertilizer being stolen, also destruction to other vital infrastructure and services, including health and education. and then we have the banking outage as well. so you can imagine this all adds up to a very dire situation and just because there's been some improvement over the last few months, that means you cannot alleviate all these problems that have accumulated over 2 years for those multiple reasons. so how if people been survive, think they've essentially been people calling it been on the scene? how have they coped with this situation during this conflict? how of a managed to survive so far beyond say, cannot give you leave the image on the speak up because we don't know what is the complete picture in the problem because we have no communication to see what's

happening. but the information we got so far is that if you and onwards of people, in fact, thousands of people are bank each day. the biggest integral is completely closed because they cannot give in service because there's no mention there is no, it's month. there is nothing we want the stated that even people who have shaving in their account, you cannot access the account to so much. this is a deliberate action by the government so that they can implement the site. ready or the fucks that's the they don't need to fire any need to accomplish their actions. so i said this is a completely completely additional month.

and honestly speaking, we don't know what is clearly have progress so far. we know the problems of submission children in room on each. ok. a business bring you in here because sir just use a very strong the strongest term genocide. he said the government is committing genocide in the ticker region. first of all, do you do agree with that? it is difficult to, to accept such conclusion because an independent body which is impartial, should investigate this incident throughout the very beginning, up to the moment by going to the field. and they to getting did a lot because i throw cities have been committed by both sides and different reports of including international organization and human rights commission also mentioned that both parties or all the parties to the conflict of committed

atrocities. so it's, you know, naming or mentioning or respecting the extent of the crime is difficult unless it is investigated by an independent body regarding all nations going on. then. then let's get back to the siege situation. why our basic services still cut off? why is not enough fuel reaching the region? is it because of sued? says it allows the pressure to be kept on the t p l. f. without firing a single bullet in the re got the federal government repeatedly missions. it is working. it is best in order to deliver humanitarian services to the region, including fuel and or they said she had a need was a central need for a region of more than 6000000 population, you know, trucks who might not be sufficient. and this long the region have been not accessing any service from the neighboring region or any other country. so it is

difficult to say that it assumptions. obviously it is no sumption, but dependent on to mention that the region is trying to use the opportunity in order to you know, transfer or get access to foreign and local currencies. and to build up the military capacity required to launch on other fans. again, as the federal government. so the problem is both sides are accusing each other rather than in walking to our common place, especially saving the lives of julian. so people into great, especially women and children who move this war. so the issue is not only integrate in the neighboring, regional so far will and other parts of the country, including romeo, where there are some issues going on because of the conflict between federal government and the insurgencies. so this brought shouldn't be considered, and it shouldn't be rezoned notification so that it can get access in lives can be

saved. ok william, do you see the if you a pin government prioritizing the humanitarian situation that or is it prioritizing ending the t p. le, fighting the threat that it poses you, i think, as you can see from the business to that of course, your massive political considerations here. this terrible humanitarian situation, side to guy and elsewhere is largely the product of conflicts and everything that comes with it. and that complex result of political disagreement. now without passing judgment, and i think it suffice to say parts of the federal strategy here has been to try and subjugate the t p as to great leadership by weakening to cry. oh, who? and that has involved collective punishment of the to grow and people at times. and it certainly does seem that these continued restrictions on, for example, banking services. not allowing the restoration of telecommunications,

even. this is a continuation of a political military strategy that the federal government has pursued essentially throughout this war. now, are the some justification for that of course, people make arguments that because the great region, the c p a left is an open rebellion, the federal government has no obligation to deliver these federal service. in fact, the result is hom collect and suffering for the grand people and the federal government does have an obligation to provide you right? it's area services allow humanitarian services and even into complex affected areas . so i think there's no doubt, hey, really the political military considerations of being prioritized by the federal government. those are by other actors including the secret leadership at the expense and civilian suffering. yeah, that's a good point. so you don't, why want to go? i need to ship comes with negotiating table actually this month is often for me the

reason why we. busy needed to be is return not from the scope of the copy of the chance, but that was the expectation from our side that there will be the month and there will be open for resumption of basic services. these didn't happen. the other thing or a new position to start, i think the biggest thing we have to thing is that we course did. you have to maintain the stuff to sponsor which means all the forces from overland or figured i should have to read them to. ringback who should before november so i think negotiation on the kind of work if. busy at 1st is between 2 and there is nothing that you think of from the government

that's ish, that is going to be a 1st floor sheet. so the position of the government is be shut off to be private. but i don't think the government is willing to take any stand up from what we looked on with the post the movers as we go to the bunks of which is not open. the reason why the government of the world, the reason wants that the government of good right is unwilling to give us security for the fixed problem. but even now, when the government of the great for white and little that shops will be, she q people are much one to the the multiple, she's changed it not. the government now stated,

the basic sentence only will be open if. busy negotiated by it, it fine. ok. so every time we visit i do something because do you agree with that? do you agree that the shaping government is changing the goal posts and asking more and more and more of the declines to come to the negotiation table? i think the federal government already announced that especially last week that the government went to start the piece talk as quickly as possible, and it made a call for the regional government to try to start the preschool without without any precondition. but i've already mentioned that the government mentioned that there was the waste grade to be incorporated and commented on instruction region. the services should be started before negotiation and i assumed that the federal government went to mix with the grandkids. part of the negotiation done making the precondition of negotiation. so in the case,

it is difficult that the country looks like in a deadlock where the figure is not giving up the claim over over the land not to give up, but making it as a precondition for the negotiation. western major sticking point isn't it? but the point that so just made that was that needs to be some trust installed in the process. and even tedra w h o director general said that the ball is in the government's hands. yeah, the building trust is very important for, for negotiation to be successful. but the problem is these 2 parties have been invested in conflict. and i don't think christ can happen overnight unless both parties try to compromise and at least minimize their demand is to start dialogue to the minimum and prioritize that people rather than only considering the power are complete us. when, what am, let's look at the international attention, or lack of it on this conflict and not statement that we heard elephant w h,

i direct general ted was saying that was suggesting that racism was behind the lack of attention when you consider how much focuses on ukraine compared to t grey. do you think that's a fair comment? i think i'm not going to respond directly to that. i think you should reach out to the w h. r. and ted ross recommendation that i think we're dealing with a very complex political humanitarian, military situation inside ethiopia. and to great, i think there is a number of factors that play, i think with the best will in the world, which we don't have. you know, the external actors would struggle to influence positively. some of the positions of the, the tack and his hair. because this is n e t o in civil war and the rod very deeply felt reasons for it may be just to say, i think understandably,

headdress is pointing to what he perceives as a double standard in terms of the level of media, attention, government, attention to the respective crises, and i think those are sorts of inconsistencies, double standards, we can unfortunately identify it all over the place if it just will broadly then if there is the access available to to grow, will there be enough international aid to help those people in the region to get out of this state of hunger when it's a little bit difficult me to answer that sort of logistics question. i think, you know, the aid supply has been scaled up recently, impressively as the access and become more available. of course, you know, as we've been discussing that your massive boost to the, to gray, an economy here. and therefore that would really sustainably alleviate about

certain situation. that would be the reconnection of pig right to the national economy, both in terms of transport and trade. as well as those services, a normal banking operation, power and telecommunications. all these things would be at your massive shots in the arm for the situation inside pick. right. and presumably, yes, you know, that would be the ability to scale up the operation further as, as access, improve, busy, you know, would, would you feel, what do you feel about the extent of the international attention of the international involvement in the negotiating process? do you feel that if there was more that would have been farther down the road already now or as william says, this a highly complicated into, if you, in situation. yeah the, the dynamics is changing. it is very dynamic and complex situation for countries in and has been through since specially november 2020 international pressure might

play something wrong, but the pressure should be balance that the government look at the co continuously complained that the pressure has been on government. the government only and that t p for the degree region as an operator for from the international community. in this case they put example, they mentioned that we have, we are ready to start and that was ation with our precondition. but the t p lip is at least english preconditions to be a lender. international community is not putting any pressure and imbalance in terms of reporting, even the walk. so in case this problem should be entirely sorted by, by european internally. but this does not mean that international community, and i think when they come play in terms of possibly getting the negotiation and putting pressure on both sides and possibly they think given you monetary and access as much as possible by close working with with both government us and

african unit is, in this case, has been playing some role, but that shouldn't be, you know, more postulated and it sometimes lose momentum. now that they should be arriving between the 2 groups and each party are accusing each other, especially over the past few days. it looks like another on the wire is in the making, so it is very complicated. it should, that should deserve as much attention from both internal and external. but internal are more important. i assume do you, do you believe that they say the conflict that can be solved internally or are you also pessimistic that there will be another round of war coming before i went to the discussion? i think one will be the student by the fun and i think the dynamics and then we could, it was was extremely complex. i can.

busy about the bridge it is. ready i decided we go by the previous in the form of the reason why from me just by our conference some in government becomes. busy active seats took up the ground, that government, it shouldn't have to be touched. and she couldn't even go to all the project is not because i'm going to have to jump in and i have come to the end of the program. do appreciate your time. all of you very much. thank you for joining us, sued her son william davidson, and busy and i get to yemen. and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website. the sound is there at dot com. and for

further discussion to go to a facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash ha inside story. it was during the conversation on twitter one handlers at a j inside story. from me laura kyle and the whole team here. it's bye for now. a ah. oh the land of the free america has never been a real democracy. the black people will never experience that democracy may be excludes divisions and struggles in america's electoral system. a fight for and

against equal representation. and the democratic process is the country that's learning how to be a democracy, but it's not there yet. one person, one vote on al jazeera, examining the impact of today's headline is that both hotline is what then happens . setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions. i would likely is that, that ukraine is actually going to get the rebuilding support that it, me international filmmakers and warcraft journalists. bring programs to inspire broadcaster tech there. i think government, i all think i can return to my life anymore. is eroding some of it's almost 5 freedoms on al jazeera, which site is winning chaos or control. what does the new forever proxy war mean for america and nato, as long as americans keep consuming prices are going to keep going up. why didn't

joe biden see inflation comic? how did we get to so much raw, the quizzical look us politics the bottom line when the news breaks here on here, more intense wildfires that the best case scenario is this when people need to be heard. and the story told it was exciting to have this icon of the line, the show to everyone. with exclusive interviews, an in depth reports, the operations awful damage, the environment. al jazeera, has teens on the ground to bring you more reward. will you, documentaries, and lives the news i'm fully back to the window. how would i look at our main stories on al jazeera, the u. s. u k, france and germany.
