the all the to bring you the story behind the news. we own about palm by as information for free might say due to me in the this is dw news effort coming up on the program. could that be yet more trouble brewing in the horn of africa? somalia responds with theory after, if you hope you deal with the break away region of somali land will discuss the implications of this dispute. also coming up in the aftermath of the devastating war. and if you'll, if he has to drive region, many residents don't know where the next meal will come from. the w takes a look at the situation on the ground. plus the gun remembers the bill. so warriors who fought to resist enslavement in the late 18 hundreds and

the football in bottles began. advocates top tournament kicks off in the ivory coast. we discuss what and who you should look out for the handle. i'm totally alrighty. but welcome to the program. there's a parole in somalia because the break away states of somebody lined recently signed a deal granting if you will get access to the c in the memorandum of understanding some of the land would lease a 20 to allow me to stretch of its coastline to neighboring if you help you, which is landlocked, you opens in return would be the 1st nation to recognize the molly land as an independent country. somalia, meanwhile, has lashed out calling the deal. a violation of its sovereignty. its pledging to defend its territory by any legal means that i'll kill somebody. well,

i will keep you step is an offensive. you go to bed in dangers. the stability and peace of the region is what i, which has already wellborn with probable runs. uh, it is a violation of an open invasion of somalia sovereignty about what you kind of why not have freedom and the unity of the federal republic need of somalia. but by the name of the, do you mean the mother to the ordinary you? some of these were also up in arms with many taking part in protests. after the agreement was announced, the anger was directed. not just if you help you, but also at somali land, which they say is still part of somalia. despite its claims of being an independent state, tens of thousands joined, protest in the symbolic capital mortgage issue that came to support the government and its claim that simone alons deal with if your p a is both an act of aggression

and a violation of somalis sovereignty most of the you have to sell the house, you live in our territorial waters and land not for sale of the protest to say some of the land has no right to conclude such an agreement as it is not an independent state on the coastline in the gulf of aiden to which it has granted ethiopia access belongs to somalia. the issue of smoking on state as has been filled for decades. the territory broke away from somalia unilaterally 1991. after that country was plunged into chaos following a civil war. the ousting of the president but the international community has never recognized it as an independent nation. despite this small island has all the trappings of a sovereign state. it has its own currency, its own government, and police full. its enjoys greatest abilities in somalia,

but to observe as say it is held back by the lack of recognition as this limits access to foreign loans and investment, making life hard for people in a region, but he's already impoverished. and in the current dispute, many nations, a calling for somalia, suffering t to be respected. let's bring in obama moods senior analyst for eastern africa at the international crisis group. welcome to the w means advocate home are now just to be clear, if you will be a, has not yet to officially recognize somebody that does an independent state. but just by engaging with them and signing this deal, they've infuriated somebody is government. so should the region be worried as well? i think it is a concern. i mean, certainly somali is, is very angry at this point. we've seen a lot of statements from the, some of the governments. we've seen them, marcia lane,

some international supports of and in favor of their position. and you know, there's some of the is never recognize some of the lands self declared independence and, and so they view this as part of their territory. they view this as a sovereignty issue, so, so they're definitely quite upset. and i think that has reverberating consequences for the horn of africa. that you feel some of the relationship, especially from a security standpoint, is quite important in terms of combat in officer bob and security along their border. and so if, if this dispute is not resolved, no attention is continued to flare. uh, you know, i think we should be worried about repercussions around those lines. uh, does that mean that is the opiate could withdrawal uh with, with that its presence in some of the, of the troops fighting all ship bible or is it not going to go that far or well, i think that's far, you know, somebody is and then you will be both have been a little careful around this,

you know, they haven't resorted to very quick sort of, um, you know, emotional measures like abruptly pulling out forces and whatnot. but if this deal continues to go ahead, i mean the, the nature of the, if you will be a small layer of relationship, would not continue as, as it has been to date. i mean, in, so you might see some pressure down the road. i think that's more of a down the road concern still but but definitely a concern. uh if you had that sort of a sudden um withdraw all the forces. whether that was that was if you will be instigating or some of the are pushing for it, then there would be a vacuum in in those areas and that would very much for your concern. but again, i think, you know, both sides have been very careful to keep this in the diplomatic realm thus far. try to pursue, um, you know, uh some sort of resolution diplomatically and, and not not fall over into those into those other areas. but the reason that the internal conflict where we have some island, which is relatively stable while the rest of somalia is and so what leverage does

the somebody government in mogadishu have in this dispute so well, the somali government, this still the internationally recognized government for the territory of somalia, which given that some of the lands continues to be an unrecognized entity, internationally in terms of international regulations and and whatnot, falls under it. and that's how a lot of international actors do engage some of the land operate though they still operate in deference to some of the and mobile issue. and so i think some of the, it does have that leverage in that sense. um, they're, they're, they're marshalling some of their allies around this, their presence in some international forums where, obviously some all the way and doesn't have a seat. you know, whether that's originally up a you, but even internationally at the, at the u. n. level. and in so there is some leverage and in that regard that i think some of the a can can marshal some some supports um, but if we're talking in terms of physically trying to,

to stop something or trying to to prevent somebody. i think that's a difficult prospect to see in one that really opens up the prospect of, of a wider concept. and no more. are there any signs now that if you will be as taking this step of any science other nations could follow? susan, recognizing somebody lined in some way, especially considering a strategic location. so i haven't really seen any, you know, indications specifically from, from other nations that would follow suit. you know, there's always been this theory that i've, you know, the theory that, that those, and in some of the land promote that, they just need one. um, you know, country to recognize them and others would follow suit. that remains very much to be seen. and, you know, i think we're still a ways down from that. you know, we, we should remember that this is a preliminary sort of, uh, agreement that if you will be in some, all the land they have come to there's, there's technical teams that would try to hash this out and,

and see exactly where with land. um so, so a lot of that still remains to be to be determined, but i, i wouldn't expect a full day lose to follow with this per say. given that it's such a if you'll be a century dynamic. ok, i'm on my phone from the terminal crisis group. thank you very much for speaking to us. in ethiopia, authorities intake live in northern states wanting that the area is on the brink of famine. to grow as interim president gets actual read, says at least 90 percent of the people that are at risk of dying of starvation. he adds that the crisis was the result of the aftermath of the war, which ended just over a year ago as well as an ongoing drought. and the lack of aid, if you open government in that is about, says the claims are exaggerated. the u. n. and the u. s. temporarily suspended 8 supplied last year. following allegations of fest be entering president,

detach you is urging both of the international community and the fuel you and government to intervene in t drive to save lives. newly for the media and haile selassie reports from the region this, this is all that's 70 years old. get bremond seen how goes and his family had been able to have it in present months, barely enough to survive. oh, there's famine, we are starving aluminum and crisis for some days. i'm able to find something to eat. other days i go to bed with an empty stomach. what can we do? where can we go? how long could as conditions was, ended up his family and many young people left the area. but most of the leisure being like a brit missing. most of these couple of have died on the a few months. i left. it's the result of 4 years of phase rates, including the west, jolting decades as well as the device. the thing was in the copious degree future.

hipaa. now we have farmers who worked our land, where we couldn't do that and we would travel to places where we worked the money. where can we go now? i'm losing home. i don't have sheep or cows, i can sell that, isn't it? the u. s. was for the program and the us agency for international development suspended that you money to the end deliveries. i left the c a of i must have craps of scheme in which the pro panel officials to grad and as each of forces had reportedly booted foot 8 to send legally in the markets. based significantly less than a situation with more than 1400 people having to dev. since then, the local administrator in the district has declared a state of emergency close on that 85 percent of presidents have barely any food to eat me. people are dying in front of

a rise. the government and non governmental organizations have to take responsibility and do what they can to alleviate the suffering. you know that you and us it does have agreed to resume food. a deliveries with improved monitoring for yeah, emission. hopefully between to arrive too late. save the permits in your god knows what will come next. i want to see if we have is mercy. we will eat. if we don't, we will die. no, there's not much else we can do with either way to despite the short term relief people here integrate worthy that there was, might not see their needs as urgent as, as a crisis unfolds elsewhere in the wide i'm not joined by samuel g. attach you, he's a journalist based in ad is out by and he just got back from the take why region samuel,

welcome to the program. now what did you see on your trip that just tell us just what the situation is like? so we went outside of what we went to a ton of village called a huge, loud, which had a conflict during the tool and were facing thousands of people. i sold people that are really starving of being uptake by this time. and that's going on across the region. i swear to many people, all the people, young people who have eaten for days, waiting for any kind of support from international organizations, including us a id in the world food program, but delivered some kind of aide a few weeks ago. and they've been waiting the content, they have really been struggling for many, many, perhaps mongers. mentioned some age coming through now just how

much is it sufficient for the people or what most of the villages, including the administrator of the village, told me that the last time they received any kind of aid was from us a id and they focused on the id piece, the people that came from outside of the villages that were in a bad situation in terms ofa not getting any kind of support. but the whole village it seems, are in need of some kind of support. this is perhaps a, you know, something that many of us, i reminded of the 1984 timing where 1000000 sofa ethiopians, especially in this region, were affected. and 2 people that are older is really a reminder of what the deal went through. and even the president of the to great region has said, this is something that's comparable to the 9th and waiting for you to type time. and so the region is really, you know, software and you can tell it as soon as you arrived just outside of the company,

talk mccully. i'm just on that point the, the, the, as he's mentioned, the t right. uh for the thing the situation is approaching a famine. meanwhile, the govern, unitas is saying this is exaggerated. we think the 2 sides, even though they signed a deal to end the war, we see them giving completely conflicting information about what's going on. does that mean they are still very much at odds, even though the fighting has stopped when they took and government has been set saying that this to 14 the region there to give the support 8 to the region. but i can only tell you, and from what i've seen, i'm seeing people lots of really struggling people. that's how really facing the firemen that we're beginning to see, not just into guy, but in the regions of this country. people are really, really software and the government has acknowledged that they need support,

but they've said it's nothing like a fundamental made to me before. i think that's where the differences between the regional government and the federal government is. but for once we've seen is a more immediate arriving into great need. many people are starving and you can see it again, the competence. so again, i can only tell you from what i've seen, but many, many people are suffering in time and seems to be coming back to this country once again. the anti apartheid photojournalist p time i go by there has been laid to rest in johannesburg, south africa just over a week after he died at the age of 90. 1 talk about is award winning imagery, documented key events in south africa as a positive era, including the racial oppression and brutal violence, as well as the campaign to free the imprisoned, nelson mandela who would lead to appoint him his official photographer. after

by the invaders, the boys and all those of the boys as west chaplain longer. and these were a powerful arrows boys in ours. so select as touch it, you know, sometimes that both the tactics and battle may also have being decisive and knowing that they relied on their hosses. this rate is sort of like, you know, where, where was back to the people at the top at the top of the horses 1st. so who exactly was attacking northern got 2 names have been handed down in oral history. firstly, the notorious summary to ray who fought europe team colonize us, but also enslaved his fellow africans until his pseudo empire fell to the invaders

trade. domestic slavery by africans continued underly disliked by 2 and some movie to read. some researches suggest this was to concord territory and build up the numbers to estimate about slavery or says, i'm trying to put a default on people like like do you know, pianos, if you did it says then they wouldn't have done anything us. but we did this issue . the shame should be said by the advocates. many have feel that the popular narrative around the history of slavery focuses mainly on those and slaved whilst ignoring the uniqueness of those who resisted this element of a group of people standing. i guess it's in fact and i guess it's, it's not about being told what that within the african continent or in the western world. story that's still the motions. as people here
