a ceasefire. 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. seize 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 take away people's liberation francais, they're open to a cease fire, and they're ready to accept an african union lead piece process. something they have dismissed in the past. earlier this month, the t p l f. outline for conditions for a truce,

they include aid axis and the withdrawal of at a tree enforcers. the philippine government hasn't responded to the proposal a day after the announcement rebels say an asked reich, hit a university and the to grey and capital mccully. let's speak to get us. he'll read her immaculate, his spokesman for the tea gray people's liberation front of weather. could you give us an idea about how you decide to change your mind from just a few weeks ago, you were saying no talks under the umbrella of the african year. now you're saying you are open to peace talks weren't to set that equal to the straight. we have never rejected the role of african unit. or we know africa unit as a quantity tell relation we'll have to play in resolving conflicts in africa. what we have said when along with the african union commission has

to expose the crimes. that's the regime in his partners in crime, this assa, for the company, be that, that up on that people are the great the last year. and, but despite our misgivings, we were ready to work with you. in fact, we had issues with the how you a, you high level representatives. but that's why the most important, because ultimately it's about this, about the result of this conflict. so we have never posted it to the wrong of a you must, we have always express dollar misgivings about the role in a has played in either a kissing in the crime or the remaining silent under the circumstances. okay, so do there that is listed in the way of change of mind as well? 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 you are me, the withdrawal from the battery and army, the allowing aid into the region. those conditions are they still the same unchanged of the prerequisites for the deal high gym. the only thing that needs to change is that correct? correct. mission of humanity could an access and the storage of services that's conditions. why would at least be pre conditions. i mean, since when is the axis of next esteem and humanity, an aide, and that is sort of services consider a pretty condition for, for peace folks. where we have been saying all along is that these are things that need needed to have been accomplished way before any overtures for any government. what does its name should have? services been government was using the dean of humanity

and access and the denial of services that we pay for that we should insist on normal see under 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 product isn't too low for unfettered humanity and access and the status of what's that big i what example is 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 say jewish as simple as that, though we're not talking about preconditions, talking about things we should have normally have been done. if that was a good interest for now, that you've said you're willing to go to your open to talks any,

any word from the african noon 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 a call. tonight is the government for what it is and that it is ready to work with the government of the drive in seeking this solution to the, to the company. having said that, we have no reason to believe that the coaches have relented on, on the internet. and 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 and 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 us here. read a spokesman for the to write people's liberation from from kelly. i really appreciate. thank you. the let's bring in august in this above a common chem, so a member of the a few of the parliament in suns, 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 prices. go welcome to the program stuff. 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. we're going to getting into this program. so everybody here and this program as everybody know, government was really when to, to, to in this problem, what is going on in northern part of our country and a peaceful way. but the one rule before one year waste war again, it's our military, it's been defense for those that you've been left urban group. and after when you're bengal, berman also announced that he is far from your

uni last, already day when they left to go our region this or they were calling to band government cording through the full solution to this problem. ok, so this the time when the l. f cord for gallow i can see like. busy mind changing and it's going to come with no permission because the government position is there, the are the principal, the principal is the solution to this problem is discussion yellow. ok. and just the for our, just for people to understand exactly what does the government stand 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 own 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? surely 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 they decided finally, let's go to the african union. let's go to the peace talks. the statement that the government issued on the can, new year's day wasn't really different from the statement that it had 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 a sion, apparently without any kind of precondition is. 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 be kind of construed as a precondition is the chicken need granted that they would be resumed without any negotiation. but the other way they are ready to sit 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 they do. they, they don't trust the you and a boy or bizarre already. so i'm going over son joe because of his open association

with the regime because of what he has been saying in terms of open the supporting basic and 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 a stake 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 integrate forces this year that truces now ended fighting is ongoing. today, we have a flurry of diplomatic activity to try and get a real commitment to the trans as i understand the take, right position. they want a public commitment from the federal government and to me for they say it's international legal obligations, so unfettered access to great restoration of services, the exit of all par, and 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 peak right that it's taken during the war. that is the extent of the challenges

even to get a real commitment to a truce. 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 secession from the consideration. 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, i'm in addition, as it did 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 just as many. so you have the intelligence chief and you have to and both of those has that could be it. and also the one has a widely seen as 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 they see if they are not denying or saying you know to the regarding the union lead negotiation, they are not doing any precondition can government. they are and the results, 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 see how to discuss the mortality we're in because they, even though they are, they are saying most great region, not a government drives another government when we will when we can be peaceful. 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 for the level of weapons to be cared in for residents has to be the border about the issues

about the they said this must be come on. the table was dorothy through or not. but through 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 at your 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 hip and government would accept that. it's also a question of does it have the capability to, to accept because erica, 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 from 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 seating fund 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 the idea. because if eric doesn't support that idea, the government con, given that they are under their control. so this is really a huge problem that people are not talking about. the fact about the government is not in a position to make its own decisions, that 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 look with a 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 it's

a government, it could actually be praised in one word. but what that thing 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 lies 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 can t gray itself, that's a story on its own with the rec, koreans involved with the government involved. that is a history of their border, the limitation, the demarcation. we don't know exactly what's the problem that is the government add them and it wants back that area to deny that to gray as any access to sedan in the future. the federal position on the west and to great dispute. how i know it is one of the kite is not that clear. and at the moment it's in our control,

we've seen the federal government constitutional processes to resolve the issue. but it isn't clear that 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 unconstitutional moves. and yes, you know, as 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, the parties to war here. 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 if there's any

reason really to be positive here, it's that that has been a international response, presumably with some federal backing. so the idea of an expanded african union lead piece process. so that will involve up assign job, but it will probably involve kenyans governments as well. also the us and the you. 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 to grand amman, mean is legal obligations as take government cost it on onset, that 8 access services, the restoration and grades, we will borders and withdrawal of foreign forces. and it does look difficult to even get past the 1st hurdle. 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 community stepping, saying that they want to see both parties starting those stokes anytime soon, is this something that could put more pressure on the government to offer some concessions for the 2. ryan's regarding the garage to grant people they are, are our there are suffering. we're story for the suffering. we feel that so the contention, this is not the usual. ok because there are, there are monitor on there. and, but if you, if you ed for a 4th, is that there are no distribution go daddy, $34.00 civilian. but the 1st thing everybody has to know is does the into solution for this problem is sitting on the table discussing. and if there's any border

issues, all right, to play, do you think, do you think that when he talks soon between both parties i highly doubt that the reason actually i have to mention it right. it 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 patient in area throughout the area. and government essentially have the hosting use 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 dictator been to give them the green light. so that in a bit of a bind in that and they constantly make a decision. all right, i don't generally have the question about the reason generally is not a good faith so that all right, 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 hair and if you operates under a system of ethnic or 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

necessity 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 grand central government. of course that does relates to autonomy, an ethnicity and federalism. but i don't think at the moment the central government and its 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. we take great leadership and also the other groups operating any such an or mia? the biggest regional state. william davidson says come and show him. so and tick les gabrey, michael, i really appreciate your site. thank you and thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website, l 0 dot com for further discussion got our facebook page, facebook dot com, forward slash ha insights story. you can also join the conversation on twitter. our
