8:34 pm
led to hopes of a possible peace deal between the government and rebels. that all changed on wednesday with an attack in the town of cobo that the government blamed on the tpr left, the to gripe people's liberation front. then government forces launched an air strike on friday. antic rise regional capital mckelly authorities there say several people were killed including children. but officials and addy sub above the cues. the t p l f of staging the decks. now there is growing concern. this conflict which has displaced millions could spread. bringing our guest shortly, but 1st this update from katya lopez, haughty on an air strike in the capital of ethiopia, as t gray region could signal a new phase of renewed fighting local media, say the central government is responsible for the attack in an area control by rebels from the te, graham people's liberation front, or t p l f. as to dish desiree sonya belinda, i think the s drive kid around noon. a neighbourhood is a residential area,
8:35 pm
so our only civilians live here. so gonna hold on clarity the fighting which began earlier this week marks the end of a ceasefire. there was agreed to and march it also derails efforts to negotiate a p still between prime minister abbey augments government and t p l. a. fighters. it's important at to have some insight about why this war resumed right now to guy was under, should d. c h, i receiving no fuel? no electricity, no communication, no banking to guy forces. i've been weakest point right now. the fighting has made an already dire humanitarian crisis. worse. millions of people have been displaced with more than 3000 reportedly fleeing from the region every day. the u. n. and other agencies have been able to deliver some made in the past few months. earlier this week, the head of the world food program accused
8:36 pm
t. p l. a fighters of stealing food and more than 500000 leaders of fuel, humanitarian aid men for civilians never reach its target. all the parties need to do whatever they can to protect or to protect civilians and also very poorly, i think, to ensure the unimpeded passage of humanitarian of goods. the latest round of violence is raising concerns. they could put even more people at risk in te grey and the surrounding and horror and afar regions. patsy. a little piece of the young al jazeera ah, that's bringing our guests in montreal on a monday for an advocacy director at the hora association of america. in the sub boss, you'll get a to an independent journalist and political commentator and in london monson plots a senior research fellow at the institute of commonwealth studies. very well.
8:37 pm
welcome to each of you. and i'll start with you monson out in london. what is behind this resumption in fighting between the national government and to grind fighters? well, those really is the piece process was it was stalemated the 2 sides. and it's really not the to gray people liberation to greg government. they were elected in september 2020 and their position is as complete their odds with the government. you know, they have a series of conditions. they won't see the siege lifted. they want to humanitarian a to be allowed to go through. and they want recognition of the boulders as they existed prior to the conflict. so those are some of the conditions they put for the government says, no, you must just sit down. no pretty conditions just told the 2 grand government says that they want the kenyans to mediate and the african union,
8:38 pm
the preferred mediations for the european governments. so the huge differences between them, they did hold, i believe, 2 rounds of face to face negotiations. one i think was in se, show the other one in you booty, but they didn't manage to make any progress. and you know, this is the end of the rainy season. it's the time when people are going to get back to fighting. you are going to big fights now because you know, the to grands basically are in a position where the longer they do nothing. and to fit that with the army with their people. essentially starving. it's just impossible, so they have to come to a situation where they will be some kind of resolution to this one way or the other . ok, the move their troops up to the front line and then the fighting began. ok, i'd like to pass on to on a monday for do you agree with that assessment for the reasoning behind this
8:39 pm
resumption in hostilities? now i don't think so. i think for me that isn't why this is amanda. because the partners i'm not the point of student and she should process was imposed on the spark is from outside the process. nothing to exclude the summer and her and i just were not so coupled with the fact that now the way better is it okay for soldier timing on kind of cause i think if you want to think of it, but this is not surprising. i think put, you know, we'll have the new winning membership and all the
8:40 pm
kids before they came to worry and after that. so i think the government is saying that stop and condition keep minding condition is to be membership point. so i think the name is primarily on trends, possibly because they're looking for resources. now if you use your show in the office, you know, my and, and i should point 5 think because if i knew and i region and i've been a positive and for whatever resource my final it is
8:41 pm
your which led them to the last month or in this case with what is for so i need to think about the where the meeting needed and policy. sure. we'll talk a little bit later about what both sides the saying about their willingness to end to peace negotiations. but i'd like to come to you, samuel, get a to you are actually in ethiopia. how much contact do you have with people in this region where the fighting is happening? can you share with us what's happening on the ground in terms of the fighting? and what it's like trying to get information. if you're referring to a tech guy, i have no contacts. but if you're referring to cobo, which is in dumb har region, i was in popo not too long ago, back in may. and i had a chance to speak to lots of residents, young people who are willing to fight for the interest. you know,
8:42 pm
i've been going to places where i've had a chance to have a conversation with lots of people in i'm in florida and a year ago and to great. but something that stands out is that this conflict is really, really affecting old all it's your parents know, it's just in one region, but in all parts. it's a conflict that has been defined by sexual violence. i know mr. martin was talking about an election that happened in 2020 in which the t p f claimed to have 100 percent of the seats in integrity. but what me, what's needed in this country of 115000000 people is understanding compromised. this conflict would not be solved by military force. there has to be a negotiation done. there has to be compromised, done because again, the effect it's having only 3 opens everyday fuel as not just in one region and all
8:43 pm
region of the country is really unbecoming of what it could potentially be and should be at this moment before we move on from you mr. get a to, i'd like to ask you about your take on why the fighting has resumed now. well, again, it's, it's a which issue among utopians. it's who you ask. the job and government is insisting that it was provoked by the t p. i left the t p s saying otherwise. so to you ask, much of the countries don't touch testable to us. we can't go and verify this information. isn't the difference between what the us, the saying and what t p and left and what the chip and government to saying are on the different making our position us the part of the local media really, really challenging. but again, what you feel been needs is under is an understanding even from the you interest.
8:44 pm
there's a need for you to up at to bring some kind of piece before it becomes like this, but the somalia or south to don or human sierra. you feel it has been host to refugees from many, many countries. and we don't want to get to go to the roots of the cells to done, which is really concerning to all of us. and people like mr. martin shouldn't just take one side and reflect what's happening. they should be able. busy to hear both sides, we should, we should all do snow just one region that's being affected. again, that's as region of this country and we want it to get to work. if you still has a potential and we wanted to work ok, it's painful to watch what's happening. of course, i'd like to cross out the 2 mosse and plots since the end of june. both sides has reportedly said that they are willing to enter peace negotiations, but obviously there have been issues with that. why hasn't happened? well, one of the reasons is that this is not a civil war. this is
8:45 pm
a regional war. there are not just ethiopians involved. the era trend army had been directly involved, although it was denied for many months by the european government. they were frankly not telling the truth. and everyone knows that the era trends are deeply involved in this conflict and are inside ethiopia, which is extraordinary. they were invited, thereby a prime minister abbey, the promise to be here, and they are not participants in this war. they will also, between 5 and 10000 somali troops involve this is a regional conflict. so in essence, you have to, to make this happen to make any kind of real progress, you have to sort out all these issues as well as the, the, the e, c o, p, and one. and the other problem about this is if this is being portrayed as a config, sent it on on to great. that's certainly true. this is one of the major conflicts
8:46 pm
in the world. probably the bloodiest conflict going on at the moment. but the other conflict inside, if you appear which have nothing to do to greg and they are of the 5 or $6000000.00 people displaced internally, displaced in ethiopia, and the to grant a conflict is only part of that. and that really underlines the key issue in ethiopia, which is that is how do you resolve what is essentially an 80 or 90 ethnic group empire. how do you turn this into an a democracy that is exception difficult. on him, on the phone on that front, i'd like to bring it over to you martin. they're talking about the presence of era tray and soldiers. do you think that this constitutes a regional conflict? because i've seen previously, you said, you know, this war was all, the difference is an ideology, but rather a war for power. so talk me through your take. yeah. i think
8:47 pm
we need to understand why it's why and that's different from what needs to happen in defense at this point, what happened was when it was but it worked from power falling to for me. and it was primarily, you know, tripping my car again. so because of that in mental area, including in rome. yeah. and after i've been a conflict in order to get started.
8:48 pm
so this conflict is not it's, it's about power. the minority groups impose it, but that's in the morning. and there are far more himself trying to build a normal morning. you know, so to me yes, it is suffering everywhere. but the call is this is monica bento, g and the service. so because i am homeless, the job is due by the new york and i own that and all i incentivized it says to honor me speak for the better for that it can be cool to you know,
8:49 pm
i've got to get it and that's how it is everywhere and i think the solutions to me is also really to go back and to see why it's going to have been has been not being why for, for now, why did it i think was present at that and it has continued. and so i think it's time to come back up and ok, and i'd like to go back to samuel, get it to that, that talking with connie that was sort of a more macro look at, you know, how, if you got to the point that it's at now, but coming back to, to, you know, what's happening on the ground. now, what would it take for all sides to agree to a ceasefire? and now the sci fi, i mean there has to be trust. that's going to be,
8:50 pm
have to be built by different actors. there has to be an understanding that if this goes on, more ethiopians would be affected as a result. you know, whenever you travel too far or. busy or to grow, you hear the same kind of voices accusing each other, all kinds of crime, including sexual violence that has been the highlight of this conflict. and if you want younger people, you know younger young enough to be my own children. if you want them to have a future in this country, need to listen to them. you need to put their priorities ahead of yours. and you know, there are so many young people who are not even going to school. what's the future going to be for this country? it's not just again in one region, it's in every region. when i was in cobo i had spoke, i was speaking to all kinds of young people. they're telling me the same kind of
8:51 pm
accusations i heard from the other side. so unless we want to see this country move forward, there has to be an understanding that we need to talk. we can't be cheerleaders on one side. we need to compromise and look at the panel the other side because everyone is in pain when it comes to the country. mister, get you before you move on from you. can you talk us through what the humanitarian situation is like now? because as we heard earlier in t, great, it's been described as a siege with a lack of food and fuel and basic necessity. so how are people coping well, when i was in a region i met with lots of people that are in need of food aid. when i was enough far, i saw the same kind of problems i haven't been to took, right? because we don't have boxes to the region, i'm sure if we listen to the un, it's the same thing, but famine that defined my own use as coming back to this country. and it's not
8:52 pm
something that i was looking forward to when i was growing up. and it's the younger people that will have to shoulder the image that's been destroyed in this country. i, there has to be, there has to be on a sunday from all sides. you know, we can take fights, we can be true leaders, but we want to see this country succeed some of us and we want, we want to pursue and i hope, or leadership from all sides. we'll try to understand that if we want, you feel bad to be a country, we need to listen to the other side will just be calm. cheerleaders, us, we've become, all of us. mustn't out. what role has the african union looks to play in this ending? this conflict doesn't want to play a role. it would certainly like to play a role, but it's exceptionally difficult for it because, you know, this is happening right on its doorstep. the fattest thing about this entire conflict is that it played a really constructive role within the 1st week of the conflict and the chairperson
8:53 pm
of the african union who is the south african president. busy brought together, he met with the president of ethiopia, and they ham adoption agreement with 3 president, 3 former presidents will go to mediation. guess what happened? the next day, the prime minister abbey said this is never going to happen and threw it out the window. but let me just say one thing over honey made the point that this is all based on that this is not true and she's not, not, not a regional conflict. and that is based, you don't to grant. i invite your listeners just to look up on google wikipedia, tripartite lines, ethiopia, era, chair, somalia, early 2020 and they will see it. this is not something i'm making up. this was planned from that moment only. and for months the,
8:54 pm
the 2 leaders visited each other's military bases. so that's where it comes from. this is not something that the 2 grand invented. yes, they were ready. they did, did mobilize their forces, but they knew they were coming under attack. what you expect them to do, but there's one thing that i would agree with both sides, which is that there is a lack of clarity. and the one thing that, that prime minister abby and president he saw of era check could do right now would be to lift the blockade on journalist. let journalists go up to the front line and report on what is going on inside to gray. only in the other regions, don't stop people reporting. and if we had clear reports by international journal and national journalist from the ground, we'd be in a much better position to resolve this contract. i'd love to come back to you on monday. the w h o director general tells us that gabrielle said, the reason that the world hasn't acted with what is happening in ethiopia is
8:55 pm
because is the color of the skin of the people into gr i do you agree with that assessment position? to be honest. i think she talks about what's happening outside region, not permission. so i like to that are for that, but they're not just chimney, jerry, i'm in this country right now. one of the 7000000 people in my region are in that teach their media. and i'm in, in, in, in a doubt that if you had to laugh exactly like

8:57 pm
famine and so on happening in this country. and that's why they're ignoring what's happening in this country. and i don't think it has anything to do as racism. the world can't continue to subsidize when this conflicts are popping, but answering your question. i mean, there has to be, it's yoga as a decent country. it has friends and other countries. they need to get involved. they need to understand they need to make our leaders understand that conflict to this country is really unbecoming of what if your beer was and is becoming. all right, we'll have to leave it there for time. ok, thank you very much for all of your analysis. your input, our guests on monday for samuel get you and martin pulse and thank you for watching . you can see the program again any time by visiting our website. i'll be there a dot com and for further discussion, go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter handle
