majority of people that are in prison through mandatory pre trial detention, the poor and the young. exactly the vulnerable part, the population that the president says that he champions and lawyers say that there is no way eliminating the measure with suddenly lead to a flood of them being let out. that each case would have to be decided on its own merits. right now, mandatory pre trial detention is only serving to corrupt mix because law and order authorities says louis tapia of criminal justice watched old fair trials and be able to deal with each other. he gives the public prosecutors off is much more power. it's an incentive for them not to do their jobs because the messages, if i q someone of a crime and put them in mandatory, pre trial detention. it doesn't matter that i don't have the evidence to get a conviction because they'll be in jo for 2 years. anyway. i don't, i think that is what the lead yanna now an activist is campaigning to change. but with the full way the government against that it looks like a long road ahead. john home, an audi zeta,

a series of drones strikes and ethiopia is northern to gray and region, as according to local hospital officials, the business campus and mckayla university in the regions capital was targeted along with the t v station run our, the regional government, the strides come just 2 days after to gray and rabble said they were ready to take part in peace. talks with the federal government to size have been engaged in fighting for almost 2 years. coming up next inside story. stay with us. ah. is these on the horizon for thought he has to glare region rebels? fighting of the government say they're open to talks and

a cease fire. what lead to this announcement and will it help to end the humanitarian crisis caused by the war. this is inside story. ah hello, welcome to the program. i'm hashem. abala sees the opportunity for peace, that the united nations message to the earth, european government and rebels in the northern to gray region. nearly 2 years of war have the space, millions of people, and created a humanitarian crisis. now fighters from the t gray people's liberation francais, they're open to a ceasefire, and they're ready to accept an african union. let these process something we have dismissed in the past. earlier this month, the to p l. f. outline for conditions for a truce. they include aid access and the withdrawal of

a tree and forces. the therapy in government hasn't responded to the proposal. a day after the announcement rebel say an ast reich, hit a university and the to grey and capital mccully. let's speak to get us. he'll rather imaquele in his spokesman for that the gray people's liberation front. a widow could you give us an idea about how you decided to change your mind from just a few weeks ago you were saying no talks under the umbrella of african ye. and now you're saying you are open to peace talks when to say that it got to district, we have never rejected their own african union. we know africa union as a one to the to addition will have role to play in resolving conflict in africa. what we have said when, along with the african union commission,

husband, you know, to expose the crimes. that's the i, b, m, a regime in his partners in crime. this asked for the company built up on the people of the grant the last year and but despite misgivings, we were ready to work with you. in fact, we had issues with the how you a you. hi larry present. that is my, the most important because ultimately it's about this, about the result of this conflict. so we have never opposed to the wrong of a. you must, we have always express misgivings about their own. a has played in either kissing in the crime or the remaining silent under the circumstances. okay, so there is literally no way of change of mine. that's my, that's what a consent. let's talk about the details. now you are a member of the negotiating team. give us some idea about you per conditions when

it comes to the withdrawal of the if your pin are me, the withdrawal from the battery and army, the allowing aid into the region, those conditions are they still the same unchanged of a prerequisites for the deal? i hate him. the only thing that needs to change is that correct creation of humanity and access and the restriction of services as conditions. why would this be pre conditions? i mean, since when is the axis of next esteem and money to get an aide and that sort of services consider a pre condition for peace folks. what we have been saying all along is that these are things that need needed to have been accomplished way before any of us for any government. what does the name should have restored services? been norman was using the dean of humanity and access and the denial of services.

as we've been a for that, we should insist on normal see under the circumstances should not have been and should not be considered as pretty conditions. so as far as we're concerned with, expect the international community to put pressure on the government and i decided to restore services. we still expect the international community to put pressure on the, the thought of this and i decided to low for, i'm an actress and the status of what's that? and i, what example is, what is going to sufficient is something the government professes to be living by and why would it be a matter of precondition for $3490.00? so i'm going to dish as simple as up though we're not talking about pre conditions, talking about things we should have normally have been done. if there was a given interest for now that you've said you're willing to go to open to talks.

any, any words from the african you about whether the philippine government is willing to move forward and, and talk to you by the way, i would like to take this opportunity to come under the african union to at least to, to step forward in accord. nice with the government for what it is and that it is ready to work with the government of the drive in seeking, fitful solution to the, to the company. having said that, we have no reason to believe that the cottages have relented on, on the internet, on crime scene just on the question because they still think they can shook their way back to the rice. and i have been saying this several times over there is no chance that they can fight their way back to right impact indications. not any guys . every they have been making along with the area to that area is falling apart

and our purposes, not only holding their ground, but also mickey significant gains in various fronts. so obviously they cannot force that way in so it's a great all right, and the only alternative viable option for them is to book because shooting is not going to work, gets a sarah spokesman for the take right. people's liberation from from kelly. i really appreciate. thank you. the let's bring in august and above a common chem, so member of the a few of the parliament in son's vall and sweden to lay gibber. michael, an activist and associate editor of got a woodside document impossible. war crimes integrate london, william davidson, senior a few of the international classes. go welcome to the program. now that the t p, if you think it is open to talks,

is the government and addis ababa willing to move ahead and all the talks with a tick ryan's thank you for going into this program. i saw everybody here in this program as everybody know government was really when to to, to in this program. what is going on in northern part of our country and a peaceful yellow way. but the one who, before one year waste war again, it's our military. it's been defense for those that you'd be laugh or be group. and after, when you're bengal, berman also announced that he is far from man. you need last already day when they left to grow our region. this or they were

calling to band government calling to piece full solution to this problem. ok, so this the time when the l. f cord for yellow i can see like. busy mind changing and it's going to come even though it is no patient because the government position is there though, are they the principle is the solution to this problem is discussion yellow. ok. and just the for our just for people to understand exactly what does the governments then as we speak now, is the government going to go to the tools? yes or no. the government is always ready to go to the thought, but the government is on high

level of charlotte for depression, but they are looking for the issue. they are looking for the honesty and the how, how much this group is calling is true. are they really saying this to buy time or they are saying? sure little in this problem, this conflict or war. ok to get a do you think it was the fact that the t p l f realize that it was about time to move forward to seek a political solution to the crisis of that war is not going to go anywhere the decided finally, let's go to the african union, let's go to the peace talks. the statement that the government issued on the hip and new year's day wasn't really different from the statement that we'd have been eating before in terms of quoting for peace. and in terms of insisting

a peaceful resolution. the only way to resolving the company, i think the only difference in terms of tone in the, in the statement the issued on the news day was in them saying that they are ready to see time to go see. and apparently without any kind of pre conditions, although from, from what the government representative, it actually said, it looks like that they have taken for granted that the international community would think resumption services on the other basic services to, to great. she didn't to be kind of construed precondition is they are chicken need granted that they would be resumed without any negotiation, but otherwise they are ready to sit and it goes yes. and so back to the only thing about change, but in terms of the readiness to see for a you lead process, always be ready. they are only bone of contention with you what that they, they don't trust the you and boy officer already. so i'm going to beside joe

because of his open association with the regime because of what he has been saying in terms of open the supporting basic government's position and open the taking positions on a very contentious issues with respect to western degree and the other issues of contention, but otherwise i haven't seen anything new in the statement that they, they have always been thing, but they just reiterated the statement that they had been eating before william. let's assume both parties decide to go for the talks is going to be an easy political process. and what are the issues take here for both parties? the fact that we are struggling to get a commitment to a truce and to even convene for one that a sions indicate that, that, that the disagreement, i think it's important to listen to what a good touch you read that said, as well as tech lie the important context here is that until the

24th of august, we've had a period of a truce without any real fighting between federal intake right forces this year, that truces now and dates fighting is ongoing. today, we have a flurry of diplomatic activity to try and get a re commitment to the trees. as i understand it, take right position. they want a public commitment from the federal government. and to me, they say it's international legal obligations. so unfettered aid access to the great restoration of services, the exit of all foreign forces including trans, obviously, and the restoration of 2 great pre war borders, which means the neighboring m, horror region giving up on its control of western pig. right. and it's taken during the war that is the extent of the challenges even to get a real commitment to

a truth. so to stop the current fighting and then to convene the beginning of formal negotiations on the issues that would emerge during a peace process would be arranging a permanency by that mean, deciding what to do with the tick right forces that have been built up during this war to defend take, ryan obviously marched out and take right even to threaten the federal government. there was a tick ryan demand for a referendum on self determination. with an option including succession from the confederation. there were the issues of accountability and reconstruction as a result of the damage and the atrocities committed during the war. so yes. now sorts of challenges. ok, in addition to just get to the challenge that face stuff now just stopping the latest around the fight stuff. when you look at the makeup of the negotiating team, that was fixed by the government in id. some of you have the deputy prime minister,

but it's fun enough as you have also justice minister, you have the intelligence chief and you have to and both of those hasn't been could be it. and also the one has a widely seen as a hard line as where she is sending concerns among many in the to go region that there might be no margin here for any concessions from the government. still there is money from the government, the government, they are looking for this neil progress i can say in the progress from what i hear, what i said if they were not denying or saying you know, to the regarding union lead negotiation, they are not putting any precondition can government they are and this can result any pro, commission, any or anytime. so the government is already public. there,

there is no any change. so, but this time, this time when this kind of call from the peer lives can the government and i like to discuss the mortality we're in because they, even though they are, they are saying most great region, not government drives. another government when we will, when we come to the p. b negotiation piece broke. busy there are very basic principle, it has to be considered the one on it's not issues. there is only one government, but there is not a government. there must be one defense force and the level of weapons should be carried in for residents has to be on the border about the issues

about the they said this must be come on. the tables were dirty through or not, but all the time they are saying something and they are, do they do something else making hindrance or let's talk about some of the content issue that we're going to be my question. to declare tickler, do you think that the a call for from the tig ryan's for the a rhetoric army and the a through being army to withdraw from the a t gray region is something that the government is willing to accept? well, i think i think it's not only a question of whether the government would accept that or not. it's also a question of, does it have the capability to, to accept because now we do a lot of power over essentially really is a protectorate of eric trap. i highly doubt that the depend government is in

a position to make its own decision, but actually we see it reflected in you'll get what he couldn't say whether the government now now that the government has openly accepted the idea of negotiation without any preconditions, whether the government would reciprocate to about an extra accept sitting time to go, th and i understand why he can't answer that is because he doesn't know whether or not and which i would support that idea. because if eric doesn't support that idea, the government con, given that they are under their control. so this is really a heat problem that people are not talking about. the fact that the government is not in a position to make its own decision, but it has to get the blessing of the government for every move that it could make . and i think that's the heart of the problem. so it's not with the question i so the question of whether or not ok it depend, government would want to accept because essentially in terms of the demand of the

government, it could actually be praised in one word. but what they're saying is the constitution, let's respect the constitution. it's very simple. when you, when it comes to talks, as you know, the, the devil lives in the details. and some of the key issues here is to ryan thing about western cigarettes should be part of their own land. when you look at what's 20 great. it's so that's a story on its own with the rec, koreans involved with the government involved. that is a history of their border deal invitation the demarkation, we don't know exactly what's the problem. that is the government add them and it wants back that area to deny the to gray and any access to sudan in the future. the federal position on the west and to great dispute somehow. i know it is as one of the kite is not that clear. and at the moment it's in har control,

we've seen the federal government constitutional processes to resolve the issue. but it isn't clear they're willing to sort of take action to reverse the control of the area. and that is what see great costs as not just involving atrocities and ethnic cleansing as alleged by rights groups, but also to be an unconstitutional move. and yes, you know, as i say the constitution is absolutely key here. but of course, you know, a dispute over the constitution and the postponement of elections and the rights of take right as a regional government to run its own election. this constitutional dispute is one of the elements that took the parties to. busy your hair, so that just indicates here the depth of disagreement and why it's so difficult to come to terms because each side has a different interpretation of what the constitution says. i think there's any

reason really to be positive here. it's that the has been a international response, presumably with some federal backings. the idea of an expanded african union lead piece process. so that will involve. busy up assign job, but it will probably involve kenya's governments as well. also the us and the new. i'm having some sort of formal role, but we have to get to for when negotiations in the 1st place. and unless the federal government is willing to exceed some of these grand demand means it's legal obligations as take government cost it on onset, that $8.00 access services, the restoration fee, grades pre will borders and withdrawal of foreign forces. and it does look difficult to even get past the 1st hurdle here. okay. it says the international can and she has be concerned about the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in,

in the, in the 2 way following the war. the house started about 2 years ago, and now the international committee stepping in saying that they want to see both parties parting though stokes. anytime soon, is this something that could put more pressure on the government to offer some confessions for the 2. ryan's regarding the garage to brian people, they are, are our people there are suffering, we're story for the suffering. we feel so the contention this is not the issue. ok, because there are, there are, the monitors are there and, but they use the few ed for is a 4th, is that there are your routing go daddy, 34 civilians. but the 1st thing, everybody out, the know it does the, in the solution for this problem is sitting on the table discussing. and if there

is any border issues, all right, to play. do you think? do you think that where we're see talks soon between both parties? i highly doubt that the reason actually i have to mention it right. there was huge, expensive or publish an article yesterday. and one of the point that he makes in the article that he has committed a lot of soldiers to average out there are no station in area throughout the area. and government essentially have the hosting used saying that unless the war continued, they are going to do something to thousands of people for years. so the government is not really in a position to say ok to the talk if they every time dictated, but to give them the green light. so that in a bit of a bind investment, they constantly make a decision. all right, i don't generally have the question about the region generally is not a good faith. what i've so that. all right, i'm of,

i'm afraid i just have less than a minute william, do you think that the governors biggest concern is that any confession in the future would be just seen as emboldening the ethnic federalism in a if the appeal which could just both trust in the government i don't think that the government and primary concern, and if you operate under a system of ethnical multinational federalism, that means that the regional states has quite a lot of autonomy on paper. and the regions administer to divisions also largely based along as ethno linguistic lines. and i understand that to be desire within the government and his prosperity, party system. and for some constitution changes which might dilute the role of that

new city and state structures and politics. perhaps take some powers away from the regional straight states and gone to the central government. but really, the issue here is, was opening the political dispute between graham and federal government. of course, that does relates to autonomy and necessity and federalism. but i don't think the moment the central government and his leadership has it on the board of questions. and instead it needs to focus on how to either win the war or stop the war and find some sort of negotiated settlement. thank you. with a great leadership and also the other groups operating any such are mia the biggest regional state. william davidson says come in shem. so and to calais, gabrey michael, i really appreciate your site. thank you and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again anytime by visiting our website, l 0 dot com for further discussion. go to our facebook page that facebook dot com forward slash ha insights story. you can also join the conversation on twitter,
