conflict has returned to ethiopia to grind region. the government and rebels have accused each other violating a month long sci fi. so pan mediation, end of the fighting. what about the many civilians trapped in the region? this is inside story. ah hello, welcome to the program. i'm kimbell ethiopians. northern region of take ry has been in conflicts for nearly 2 years now. but the last few months of ceasefire had 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 and to guys 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's 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 she does desiree, sonya belinda. i think the s drive kid around noon a neighbourhood is

a residential area sar. only civilians live here, so the northern quality, the fighting, which began earlier this week marks the end of a ceasefire that was agreed to in 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 mouth to guy was under the should. deep siege at 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 un 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 tp ellen 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 who could put even more people at risk in te gray and the surrounding m horror and afar regence party. a little piece of the young al jazeera ah, that's bringing our guests in montreal on at mann before and advocacy director at the m horror association of america. in adding sub abbas samuel get it to an independent journalist and political commentator. and in london, martin plotz,

a senior research fellow at the institute of commonwealth studies, a very warm welcome to each of you. and i had to start with you a martin pout in london. what is behind this resumption in fighting ah, between the national government and in tick ryan fight, it's 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 humana here and a to be allowed to go to. and they want recognition of the boulders as they existed prior to the conflict. so those are some of the conditions they put forward. the government says no, you must just sit down, no pretty conditions or talk. the 2 grand government says that they want the

kenyans to mediate and the african union, 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 just sit there with the army with their people. essentially starving. it's just impossible, so they have to come to us a situation where there 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

resumption in hostilities. now i don't think so. i think for me that isn't why this is amanda because the park is sort of not yes. i think and then she should process was imposed on the spark is from outside the process where the nothing to exclude the summer and her and i just were not home so called the 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 for us then you will have the new

membership. i mean it's all the 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 on and possibly because they're looking for resources. now if you do it yourself and other people on the offensive, and i should point 5, think back. because if i knew and i each and every time i've been appointed and transferred whatever resource they might have. finally

sure. which led them to part of the last month or in this case, what is that a nice thing 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 it, you, 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 contact. but if you're referring to cobo, which is in dumb har region, i was in popo not too long ago by can me. and i had a chance to speak to lots of residents, young people who are willing to fight for the interest. you know,

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 all all the children's notes 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 never claimed to have 100 percent of the seats in integrity. but what's, 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 on the fuel, pens everyday fuel best,

not just in one region and all 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 it to, i'd like to ask you about your take on why the fighting has resumed now. well, again, it's a witch issue among you feel bends. it's when you ask the children 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 festival to us. we can't go and verify this information. isn't the difference between what the us the saying and what t p i left and what the chopin government to saying are totally different. making our position as the parts of the local media really, really challenging. but again, what it feel been needs is under and is an understanding even from the you interest

. 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 has been holes to refugees from many, many countries. and we don't want 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 to hear both sides us, we should, we should all do snow just one region that's being affected. again, that's as a region of this country and we want it to get to work. it's best to has a potential and we wanted to work ok. it's painful to watch what's happening. of course, i'd like to cross over to moss 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 it happened?

well, one of the reasons is that this is not a civil war. this is a regional war. there are not just ethiopians involved. the era trend army has been directly involved. alert 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 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 e. c, o, p and one. and the other problem about this is if this is being portrayed as a conflict, centered on on to great. that's certainly true. this is one of the major conflicts

in the world. probably the bloodiest conflict going on at the moment. but there are other conflicts inside if you appear which have nothing to do to greg. and there are at least 5 or 6000000 people displaced internally, displaced in ethiopia. and the to grant 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 exceptionally 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

we need to understand why this was different from what we needed to happen in different at this point. what happened was when she was but it worked from power falling on the tool for me. and it was primarily, you know, tripping mastercard. so because of that in mental area, including you know, me out there and after i've been a conflict in order to get started.

so this conflict is not about power. the minority groups impose it, but that's one of the area and they were kicked out of the bar and i'd be more himself trying to build a normal more you know, so to me yes, it is suffering everywhere. but the call is this is monica bento community service. so because my home is divided in new york and i own matters and all i incentivize, it says to on the speak,

forget or forget it. can it cool to expensive? you know, i've got to get it and that's how it is everywhere. and i think astonishing to me is also we need to go back and to see why it's going to have been has been 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 have to be built by different actors. there has to be an understanding that if this goes on more fuel pants 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 an every region. when i was in cocoa i had spoke, i was speaking to all kinds of young people. they're telling me the same kind of

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 the siege with a lack of food and fuel and basic necessity. so how are people coping well when i was in hara region, i admit was 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 to grade because we don't have access 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

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 saddest thing about this entire conflict is that it played a really constructive role within the 1st week of the conflict and the chair

personally, the african union who is the south african president. busy asa brought together, he met with the president of ethiopia, and they have an agreement with 3 president, 3 former president will go to mediate. 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 or honey made the point that this is all based on that. this is not true, this is not, not, not original conflict. and that is basically down to grand. i invite your listeners just to look up on google wikipedia, tripartite lines, ethiopia, somalia, early 2020 and they will see it. this is not something i'm making up. this was planned from that moment onwards and for months this,

the 2 leaders visited each other's military bases. that's where it all 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 side, which is that there is a lack of clarity. and the one thing that, that prime minister abby and present the source of erica could do right now would be to lift the blockade on journalists. let journalists go up to the front line and report on what is going on inside to grade. 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 like 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 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 not just chin military. i'm in this country right now. working for 7000000 people in i'm our region are in last year we talked about teach. there are media in, in walk in, you know,

that's it for you. you had to laugh exactly for the 1st time in one year for track that track manish to have in walker walker. and what i thought was before that i used to get a saw the human to vote for government compound area. and i'm we are running out of time. i just want to with a quick question for said, you'll get it. you. how do you foresee this playing out of the few to weeks and months? is there a clear path, the de escalation quickly to the comments or further head of w. h o me he is from the read jan. understand the pan it's. it's personal to him. but i think it has nothing to do was racism. what's happening in yorba in terms of getting the equality ation us, the ukraine,

the world is beginning to understand or get tired of endless conflicts, 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 happening. but answering your question, i mean there has to be, it's your peer 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 20, amanda for samuel, get you and martin clamps, and thank you for watching. you can see the program again, any time by visiting our website, or is there a dot com and for further discussion, go to our facebook page. that is facebook dot com, forward slash ha, inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter. handle is at
