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 as t cry region is expected to worsen the un says the new a 2 year conflict has left almost half the population and severe need of food aid. after spies, a unilateral cease far in march, which allowed the delivery of a to resume your monitoring group say they are still struggling to reach millions of people in need because of fuel sheds. as a result, my nutrition rates have skyrocketed, un has called for urgent action to avert further disaster in the waterloo region. my funding is running out fast conflict extremist groups coupled with the dryer

season we have seen in decades for 5 rainy seasons, have just disappeared in the past 4 decades. the driest we've ever seen it in a long, long time. people are losing hope, but the whirlpool program, we get the support in 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 anime, gabrielle says, who is from the region implied that the international communities silence may be racially motivated. in terms of humanitarian crisis. i can tell you that the humanitarian crisis integrates more than you, cree without in exaggeration. and i say it is many months ago may be the reason is the color of the skin of the people into gray. i haven't heard been the last 5,

few months of several months now. even a head of state talking about the ticket 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 as 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 a personal practice in politics is quite unbecoming of such a high profile, low position, or we have no doubt that the united nations willow review, the continued breach 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 to grind neighboring afar and i'm horror regions are also affected and estimated 13000000 people need food assistance, an increase of 44 percent since january. ah, well that's bringing our guests now and in i'm current. we have sued her son and to grow and activists in cambridge, william davidson, senior analyst for international crisis group, and encounter brain is busy there. 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 done by the. busy government because we sold us some media outlets. one to the end is extremely clean 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 the drug court in each implemented by the government. so basically what we know so far is that people are ignoring what's happening in the doctor says 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 any. ready of course, in mind, as i do want to comment just a little later in the discussion to 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, 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 a 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, it means you cannot alleviate all these problems that have accumulated over 2 years for those multiple reasons. so how if people been survive, if they've essentially been people calling it been on the c, how have they coped with this situation during this conflict? how of a managed to survive so far? the be want to say, cannot give you leave 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 is the data and onwards of people. in fact, thousands of people are bank each day. the biggest integral is completely closed because they cannot give any service because it's moments and that is not a month. there is nothing we want to be 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 site. ready or the fucks that's the they don't need to fire any leads to accomplish their actions. so they say the dish is completely we are in the company is additional money. and honestly speaking,

we don't know what is clearly have less 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 ticket 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 in cedar throughout, from the very beginning, up to the moment by going to the field and they to get it or 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 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 suits that it allows the pressure to be kept on the t p l f without firing a single bullet. and in this regard, the federal government repeatedly mentioned that it is working. it is best in order to deliver humanitarian services to the region, including fuel and or they st. john's need or the central need for a region of more than 6000000 population, you know, trucks who might not be sufficient, then this long that it will 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 doesn't mention that, 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 old fans again as the federal government. so the problem is both sides accusing each other rather than you know, walking toward a common place, especially saving the lives of julian. so people into great, especially women and children who are victim of this war. so the issue is not on integrating 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 desperate or government and the insurgencies. so this brought issue shouldn't be considered and it shouldn't be rezoned burnett cation 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 grow and elsewhere is largely the product of conflicts and everything that comes with it in 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 grow 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 grey 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, collecting suffering for the grand people and the federal government does have an obligation to provide you might 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, also by other actors, including the secret leadership at the expense and civilian soccer. and 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 the

the reason why we. busy needed to be is not from scripts off because of the should chance, but that was expectation from our side that there will be and for the month and there will be open for resumption of basic services. this is it didn't happen. the other thing for 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 who should before november. so i think negotiation on these kind of work if. busy busy at 1st is between 2. busy and 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 these as we go to the bunks of which is not open. the reason why the government of the world 50 that the reason was that the government didn't write is unwilling to give us security for problem. but even now, when the government calls to provide a letter that shouldn't be she q people are much one to the the goal is change is not the government now stated

that the basic sentence only will be open if. busy negotiated by it, it fine. ok. so every time we visit i do feel better 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 go right to the school without without any precondition. but i've already mentioned that the government mentioned that there wasn't the waste grade to be incorporated and come under that instruction region. the services should be started before negotiation and i assumed that the federal government went to mix that 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 clamp 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 su just made then was that needs to be some trust installed in the process and and even tetra, w h o director general said that the ball is in the government 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 complete. and i don't think christ can happen overnight unless both parties trifocal my, then at least minimize their demand is to start the dialogue to the minimum and prioritize that people rather than only considering the power or conflict us. when we look at the international attention or lack of it on this conflict,

and that statement that we heard from w h, i direct general tedra saying that was suggesting that racism was behind the lack of attention. and 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, the recommendation that i think with 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 as easy. i can pack in his hair because this is n, e t h in civil war and abroad. 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's 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 for me to answer that sort of logistics question, i think, you know, the aid supply has been scaled up reasonably impressively as the access to become more available. of course, you know, as we've been discussing the massive boost to the, to gray, an economy here. and therefore, you know, that would really sustainably alleviate humanitarian 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 instructional 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, the highly complicated into, if you pin situation. yeah. the, the dynamics is changing. it is very dynamic and complex situation for countries in and has been through since specially november 22 n t. international pressure might play a role,

but the operator should be balance that the government look at the co continuously complained that the pressure has been on the government, the government only, and that t p for the degree region to an operator 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 cave, this problem should be entirely solid by, by the, in, internally. but this does not mean that international community. and i think when they come play in terms of possibly getting the negotiations and putting pressure on both sides and possibly they think given you monetary and access as much as possible by closely 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's sometimes loose 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 shows that you deserve as much attention from boys internet and extend the internet. more important as to 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 once before a student by the finance i think the dynamics and then we could, it was was extremely complex. i can. busy

about the project is. ready ringback i mean by the previous in the hormone the reason why you needed by our conference some in government because there are. busy active seats took up a ground that government it shouldn't have to be touched and should be present even about 2 hour on the project. not because i'm gonna have to jump in here. we 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 at you 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
