a 2022. the west african country is highly unstable and has seen 3 military takeovers since 2012. most recently, last may, so let's find out more about what all this means. i'm now joined by d. w. corresponded isaac collect the in accra where the echo was special meeting is taking place. i can tell us more about what echo was. leaders have agreed so at the end of the meeting, i cra, they've decided not to compromise on the principles and also the protocols. so the imposing hoshal functions on molly and i interest there. i love all ambassadors and that i have from west africa in molly. and they've also gone fred, i to also order their closure of and land borders between neighboring countries with that mileage which means our neighboring west africa countries, the boys and land. i've been close to miley and also also gone. i had to also

impose or spain, what it comb, financial and economic transactions by this is only limited to transaction related to a medical supplies and kong yuma goose. and so this are some of the assumptions they've actually impose on molly. you've also gone further to freeze our face of molly and all where cool was as central bonds. and also said that as i suspension of financial assistance to molly, also from within the elk last sub reading. these are the measures that we've taken to a show that as enough pressure on their maryan and ruling military jointer to actually ensure that the, the come back to the joint joint table and bring out a better time table even indicates that i do only live these functions gradually, if they say they're sig, now from their military leaders, i do want to have a better time table to rates and a country to constitutional rule. and they do indeed seem to be tough measures

taken against molly. and yet molly's military rulers had said they wanted more time to bring in reforms, instead of holding democratic elections next month. so how do you expect they will respond to this decision? it's going to be very difficult for them because this functions are going to buy this designs in general. not just the delita is remember that those already a function, all of frizzing of the assets of these military leaders a couple of months ago. it did not force them to comply with their co timetable or dead lie by. they went ahead to propose these that timeline for 4 years to be able to get a country back to can fish narrow. so is great, is very difficult to predict what to do, how to react. but i think that's one of the things begin to food. a pain show full or how these functions i am putting on them. there'll be more pressure on their military leaders to find a way to compromise that perhaps they may not go with a foyer. they may come down to original book timetable to return to

a country to constitutional rule. but we'll wait to see what, how to react into coming in the coming weeks. we will indeed isaac alleged reporting for us in accra. thanks so much for that update. we can bring you up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the worlds a sudanese protest or was killed on sunday during demonstrations against the military. that brings the tally of deaths since a military coup in october to $62.00. the united nations has called for talks between military leaders and political parties to end a crisis triggered by the crew. the united states has condemned a deadly air strike in ethiopia. as t gr, i, region 8 workers say $56.00 people were killed and dozens more injured in an air rate on a camp for displaced people. on friday night, ethiopian government is yet to comment, but has previously denied targeting civilians in the conflict with to cry and forces. mom also had that go up here and there was disarray at the opening session
