fact, as very same defense secretary assisting this probe into am jaclyn, his death officially closed at stores on investigations and to more than a 1000 allegations of abuse by british soldiers in iraq. so with no prosecutions there. will this mean justice may never be sad for angus when jerry, when jacqueline and her family chateau edward sachet artie london, thanks for watching the weekly on our to international stay with us for another 30 minutes of it will be back with more news than just about 30 minutes mm. in. ah,

i'm at sooner, tanzania. what you're going underground coming up with the shoke, the ton of the horn of africa, or amidst an ethiopian state of emergency. we talk to neighboring retrans, un ambassador, sophia test for marian about the biden administration's destabilizing military, economic and propaganda influence on peace of to nature defeats in afghanistan, iraq, libya, and syria. and after that suspicious lebanese port explosion, how long can his will as shaken, astronomer weight, as nato israel and saudi arabia attacks a jewel of the mediterranean, and lynch pin of them, at least we ask lebanon's form a foreign minister far as boys. all of them all coming up and today's going underground. but 1st, when he saw the defeat and pull out of u. k, u. s. troops from afghanistan as a precursor to more intervention in africa, right on q. we now have chaos in the horn of africa with ethiopia declaring

a state of emergency with millions, perhaps facing salvation. this follows not only non nato investment in ethiopia, but piece between ethiopia and nato enemy eritrea. joining me now, is there a transfer my representative to the un ambassador, sophia test for mary m. thank you so much. i'm pastor for coming on the program. i don't know if you see british television, but in nature, nation countries, your country is called the dictatorship, deliberately conscripting people, but continuous human rights abuses. and as you know, as a few of you to create it, state of emergency li, a un report said big numbers of violations committed by are a tray and government forces. what do you think about our eritrea is being a is being treated here in nature, nation media as regards the conflict? oh, thank you and i have been to this for the last thing. there has never been a media or. busy busy any of benito allies that have

shown the truth about what's going on in the area chair, on the ground. are you here? yeah. ok. so it comes as no surprise and discontinued the pack on there. every, keep the no allegations, the media takes over and congregates in multiple dimensions. and even here in the un, inundated with reports and the, and i call it the a could chamber or it's not reports coming from in a year to write about a target. and we always miss miss the target, mr. white in miss and miss jones and mr. present that you know, there's over news organizations always say that's because every train or if you, if you won't let them in. and you seriously saying that the bible administration

would in effect aid what the un itself now says, maybe a step away. 2000000 people being starving to death. remind us what this is, the t p l f. we invite its leader to britain. give michael on, you say they are backed by nature nation weaponry to destabilize the owner of africa. well, they've done that for the last 27 years. or it comes up as a no surprise to be your about satellites being provided to them and satellites information being provided and mercenary. writing with them on the brown, it will be novice for me. for the credit please. that's still $30000000000.00 from the call or is i think they can afford mercenaries from all over the world, and no doubt they will bring them to their costs and i've been supported by the list. well,

let me say getting the sematic and political shield in support. we have not heard in the last 11 months, any confirmation of what the c 113 on the ground. why is a level rebel group, terrorist group for that matter, that's registered as a terrorist group allow to ramp each throughout the country. and this threatened to save their lives. the country are destroy infrastructures. this kill people, rain, and continue with the genocidal tendency. started while it was in power and you know, they committed genocide, bella, in oral and then these are documented genocide by the regime. i didn't hear in the car from me till allies today and i crying about genocide and said right, that didn't happen. there is no gender. well, they just countries that the g b s and i all charges of genocide and i have to ask you, wasn't it the nature of countries that supported peace between eritrea and the

e. c o p a nobel prize given to prime minister abbey asked with, i mean did, did, did the piece remind is that piece between the job you in eritrea they still sanctioned your country, the west did they wild up beast was made a cane because a well and the power you've been an air purse and nothing to do in the west of allies with keen because the human people thought and remove the accuracy in 2018. and at that time when prime minister ab, over here, he accepted the n j boundary commission. decision and agreed to implement that decision. and that's how a thank you because that was our only problem. not. you're not accepting the algae agreement that was final and binding. and he did. and that's how the sky, the european americans you're and none of them have anything to do with it. so

don't give them credit for something we did not do. but what do you think of jeffrey felt mildly, you, jeffrey felt the us diplomat. and what do you think of the bible administration and how different it is because that great hero of the global south microphone peo despised all around the global south. it has to be said, let alone by maybe the by the ministration did condemn t b. i left with strikes on eric tray. you make fun of donald trump. is that the problem? no, i found i don't think it has anything to do with trump or not. they're biting. administration is probably responding to the propaganda and letters and cries and wines that has been sent to congress. i know how that works. maneuvers and sends out the 10000000 letters of congress crying. you know, we're going to be a nice lady. we're going to be killed and the american congressman and legislators are feeling like we need to respond to this on shots of letters and 3 phone calls

and faxes and, and i think vitamins being sold also by people interested in, you know, we don't have friends in the in the vitamin ministration, the one electric i suffering from a racist inc, and policy for the west. and it's affecting the region. the whole foreign policy structure for the horn of africa needs to be re evaluated. and that goes beyond personality and going beyond individuals within the administration, but the whole system needs to sit down and read, recalibrate and think out loud. what it is that they are losing in the horn of africa, which they are. and this situation, we need to settle, maybe not next week, maybe not next week after, but it will settle. and then we will get what we want, which is total control of their country and out from their villages and stuff for

killing. and the reason you might say that's a bit optimistic given the bible mand m straits are so crucial to not only the military, but also big corporations. i think most of our studio must have at one point being on a ship going through the straits. who knows? you've seen what nature policy has done to iraq to syria, to libya. why do you believe that the power of nato nations and the media? i lied to the media, cannot again, launch a humanitarian intervention in the one of africa that, that unseat your president, f working, let alone prime minister be view number one. it's not something that they haven't tried for years. and i would say the credit goes to the people of marriage, and the horn of africa was much more conscious about what's going on in their countries that they weren't before and much more conscious of just and, and foreign policy of many countries. and then they were before and this height and

consciousness along with people in the region will not allow this kind of intervention in our region. and i don't think that africa and the african union, nor any of our friends and allies outside of africa, are willing to see another african country. the story. eric chinese, you're not the only ones that are suffering from wrong policy, but machine, the african vibration of terrorism, all to mommy and gimme and all your colleagues, the spring or the cold before. now it's been a terrorist and rebels that are supposed to be threatening government, suddenly becoming the governments and i think that does not bode well for us in africa. credibility and gritty of us institutions are being questions today. as an honest broker, i don't know that the us or the even the honest brokers in the yesterday. so

a lot of dynamics are on the people were sending the pressure. the people are at the point where they can withstand the pressure the unified country in arizona where they have almost no chance at all convincing what they are doing is for our own good. i think we've learned less than 20 years, and i think i'm learning that less than today. well, they've been 5 reputed the western back who sit on monday, chad guinea just just this year. and the face of eritrea in say, britain is that of a refugee across the english channel, fleeing your government, and in love with the liberalism and freedom, the britain gives them. that's what the nation media say or that's the media trail,

but nobody talks about the holiday ignoring and you to try and populate eric chan, prevent it from being a country where you could live and work and you know, they started with. i could then the crew points and academic papers that said, we cannot dream. and erica dreams don't come to america almost. so you know, making you feel like there is no hope in their country. and yes, we have economic migrants like anybody else, but make it look like they're seeing the governmental freeing because it's something they're afraid of. america was the exact to read. and to me those mean you are here in the united states and in the u. k. in their communities, working with brothers and sisters in the community, supporting families and eric chance supporting their people. so they went, they didn't go too far back in the phone just very briefly because it wasn't

reported here much in the nation media. what was the culture massacre in and if you, if you, what's your understanding of what happened in january and any direct evidence of major nations actually aiding the t p. f in terms of armament was sent, will have 900 trucks. of the w sub just disappeared. where have they been carrying song or stories that i should just say, jeffrey feldman, the u. s. diplomat said it was due to some very complicated issues there. the theft of the a drugs even the un is not denying that they were eaten by this phillips. i'm not sure why. so when is is trying to cover up for them $900.00 trucks. so that's supposed to both people like to say, i sorry, that meeting are in desperate need disappear and you see something new left in it's from please across our region. then all the way down to almost just all are they

helping them indirectly, maybe they are, you know, i don't know, but they told them to do what is if you cannot deny that they are helping them in some way, how many does me die? actually make a statement and write an article in for, for the this is a, you know, crucial. we complain one who wants to live here. he's retired now, no cop from old chuck. we complained on his facebook page is twitter account writing about you know, trying to tell them you know, they out of some of the fair but they give them moral support. so they give them political support. they give them full medic. yes, they did. yes. they did, and that's not something that's the anybody in the mine and nobody didn't punished for that either. master. thank you. always to pleasure

after the break, the reverberations from that port explosion continue. we go to the powers of the middle east to speak to lebanon's, former foreign minister, far as boys as iran and his will break. the ne donation imposed economic siege all is all coming up a pot to. i'm going underground with her driven by a dream shaped bank for some of those with there's sinks,

we dare to ask join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. ah, welcome back. what happens in lebanon affects them, at least, and what happens in the middle east affects the whole world. you only have to look at the war on terror, while nato nation circled mainstream media attack, lebanon, an age of government, sanction its politicians. it seems even lebanese ministers cannot call out you k armed saudi arabia fritz warren yemen. joining me from bay rouge's presidential candidate, former lebanese foreign minister, far as boys fires. thanks so much for coming on the show. i'm not sure whether you watch nature nation, mainstream media here. they say it's a failed state. the all thing in lebanon, it's a, it's

a disaster. hm. and whatever happens to the information minister george, good, i can lebanon, not even criticize the saudi actions in the world's worst humanitarian crisis. yemen, a lebanon, lebanese politicians not allowed to say anything. they want to say, i think shows that the crisis is bigger is deeper than the problem of what go to the i said i didn't say i think the. ready real problem, a bed during many, many years ago, the weight zeroed and the power of his will, law became more and more strong 11 and is now nearly controlling the whole state. they are controlling nearly everything they are controlling the gun. they are controlling the parliament. they are controlling the economy that controlling the security they are controlling even the

justice. and i think that this is the main problem. this problem are pushed, so the review and the old account is in other countries. and also europe and united states and others to consider to fit that live alone is becoming their enemy. because because of the power of as below. ok. so here, z. so these are since a long time, very sensitive to everything. what, which is happening 11. and so 34 months ago, 4 amount of foreign minister at that them. ok. and said that there are 2 bedrooms or something like that. yes, there they go to buy that them. they are attacked by many,

many newspapers. and it is creating a very, very sensitive question, whence once so the area is a very old friend to live and it was a protector of lebanon, and a was giving lebanon a lot of help. ok, in, i me away from this though. i mean, is it, is it saudi arabia, or is it the hand of the united states? also, that's behind me. some of the saudi arabia, very much allied, saudi arabia's i like to israel now, the biggest recipient of usa. it's ever to see the war. lebanon became one of the, of the tables of the war between, is there an america gun counter is europe, and from the other side. and so lebanon, import, his bela imported. the problem of iran was jim, in the interior,

garages of, you know, you know, that is when i, i think lots of bad citizens, lebanon would say, they wouldn't be lebanon without his willa, obviously, because, as you remember, the war, presumably, it's not, it's not really true 1st of all, yes, hes will law in the year 2000 ok resisted against israel. what is there was occupying of an east editor. and everybody at this time was supported as below. but now that 1st of all, it is no more occupying lebanese territory. second of all, has been law, is in the dreaming in the internal policy. you know, it's very dangerous. lebanon is constitute by many communities, and can only be in very, very, very jeweler balance in a junior balance. so any community who took more advantage

that she had provoked panic in the other community communities sector, any community who is bringing an external support, the other communities are bringing with them also support the external support. so it's a very complicated situation, so it's always a good by virtue of the constitution. of course it's, it's always complicated by, i mean, i have to, i mean, just most recently on the screens all across nato countries were blaming those blame for his bona for the killing of civilians. a judge as a file. and just, i mean, what, what, what is it, i mean truly that lebanon has to make a decision whether to turn east or turn west. tension is so strong. the tension is so high that any, any, any incident, any day, gun provoke,

or an eternal. so you have a people that there is no, can i lost them? how can i be in total war if, as you have good people who lost it, has been a goodnight, she's money, 90 percent of the value of his money. you have a people who have no more to buy these prosperous people have no more to buy food or the hoard banking system for doubt. ok. there are there, we have pressures, american pressures, and these are even pressures. it's just that out which has been debt about the i ok, when you make a war, you have to take for 70 reserves. it's results. so now there is a super high security is super his theory and any incident, an incident which can happen anywhere. even if 2 people are fueling fuel invent

cards and they are fighting, you can have a civil war. ok, this year is, will come to was this one because to come with the other system is will come with. so that's the problem of living. yes. for the owner and class, hang on a minute, isn't there a class conflict here too? i mean, it's christian and has been a charities that are keeping the food going ahead of christmas right now. we see on we see on media here, the slightly better of middle class is of may root demonstrating. but in terms of class conflict, are they not united? the poorest citizens of level as prices rocket 11 communitarian instinct, communitarian aspect is the strongest. ok. so it's stronger than any other consideration, any other consideration. so people who have maybe the same policy, the same objectives, got

b fighting against each other because of coming to tell you problem. and this is the problem. so the weight of his blood is now panicking every body. ok, the weight of his blood took the better to a war. where's the horn to a water crashes with the whole arab counties where you have thousands, hundreds of thousands of it, but he's working there when you have thousands of companies, many companies working there and where you are. ok, so everybody is feeling that the policy has blocked, carry out of the problem. maybe it's true or a 100 percent or not. it's another question, but there is a large part of troops. well obviously they are sanctioned. their politicians are sanctioned here in the, in the european union as regards as, as regards

a provocation from as well as side as well. i would say you nature country, this sanctioning us are elected politicians that killing our soldiers in syria fighting factor u. s. u k. back terrorists and syria. how much provocation do you think shakiness rama can handle here is this goes on. many say that to asthma has enough to take over a lebanon tomorrow. within 24 hours. is willing to take over the country, but chooses not to. i don't think historically, nobody succeeded in to alone to the culture. ok, if you take the history of lebanon, every thought he supported by any international power provoked the support of the machine power to other communities. and the story ended or sold by 0 . yeah. and the zeros you. ok, i so i think that, yeah,

the 1st war lebanon will not be to say, if his block is control, you cannot, you cannot the think about liberty. you can think about free culture. you can see same as well as all that and shake this rather has been on this channel saying he would recommend complete freedom even even for atheists, as, as you know. but what about the sanctions? one, another county, you will have a copy of the it on you. so if the copy of it on your receipt is a copy of is a good copy. ok, that's the same as you know, as will deny that. but what about the sanctions that are being applied on getting a, sorta, sorta, sorta, sorta his will not, is not denying his belie, saved by the voice of his secretary. john has one mazama. we are the sons of how me

and i, i mean i is our commander. how is our military commander is our, her father club is our achieve. and we are linked to latham fuck, he meets the dog, 3 of the of the, the baby i, i smoke, i want to stop kelly kelly is a believer and we invite. some of them has wanted to come on. they never come on the show for some reason, but shake this rather denied that lebanon will be turned into anything like that. finally, i got to ask you, because there are sanctions that are preventing energy resources coming through to lebanon. what role do you think this new world order people often say about china? the bricks bank via the sang, i cooperation, organization, russia? what role should they be playing now? in the economic crisis that is horace and the middle classes of lebanon today.

you know that there are countries doesn't want to make a war against iran because such a war is very audi, say, is very high bras for them. and so what they are doing is pushing, trying to push the button, used to make sure this is exactly what's happening. 11 is became the arena of this. fought ok. well, for isn't attacking has been law in this house is very costly for america back in iran in the gulf is very costly. and so let's go to punch. so sanctions, so i think this is the main problem that all these people who are escaping or got it going from a patient who's here on our side. they're both driven briscoe from fish. which

webinar is kind of do which driven through its internal communitarian system cannot do ok for a foreign minister. thank you. that's if the show will be back on wednesday to yes, the day of the u. s. u. k. back to in lithium, supervisor, bolivia. you can see our interview with the new president and bolivia on a youtube channel until then keep in touch with social media and let us know if you think any countries you'll be imposing blockades during the corona vice pandemic. blue. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race. he's on often staring dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully,

very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with vaccine divisions, sparking stand offs on the streets and in the cold start to abide in administration . vows to go ahead with compulsory cove. it show a raw grams up security often an alleged assassination attempt against the prime minister. and as us forces continue to pull out of the country, we compare the situation to the deadly chaos in afghanistan. a man charged over the capitol hill riots described horrific conditions in a washington jail. we speak with an investigative journalist who received the prisoner's letter. i know that he january, his prisoners are being treated worse than those prisoners. that's what i'm hearing

from them. they're saying they're removing other people.
