explore, they're just being hit so hard. they're asking the same questions. is it not possible to undertake serious work to bring an end to the bloodshed, to save lives, to eradicate terrorism and extremism, and to protect the desire of the people and its legitimate aspirations. to re cover it, states to participate in political life to live a normal life, to get rid of sectarian religious and hate speech as well. the internet of community, ladies and gentlemen, is adopted a unified position on the issue of young men. we do appreciate this and we are grateful to you for that. first and foremost, you supported the transfer of power plan based on the go initiative and its implementation mechanism in 2011. and then there was the conference of national dialogue that was not exclusive. this nation,

this dialogue was something in which all categories of society was involved, including the hu t's and this led to a reference document guaranteeing paper bills or participation as broad as possible . indeed, in this process, this document enshrined the aspirations of the people for democracy. just is equality in citizenship and women's participation at the destination of all social categories. the freedom of thought and belief. and this led to a renewal of the security council that took place in santa, in 2013. unfortunately, this dream was very short lived. following a terrorist who did target was conducted by the who, the militia. they had a creditor against a national consensus that was born from this dialogue. the militia prevented them because it's jason and that would have led to

a referendum. they tried to invade the capital santa and several times in yemen. they also provided, created obstacles to national agreement in particular, in art, and they tried to assassinate the president of the republic, and they harmed the work of several state yamini institutions. they imposed to fit a complete upon them. the militia declared a war, a neighboring countries. this is how the, this destructive war started. this is the real threat to stability in our region. a threat to international navigation routes to energy supply. all of this lead to hundreds of thousands of lives lost to people being injured, to a situation where 20000000 people are currently suffering from famine. there are hundreds

of thousands of refugees who've had to seek refuge in neighboring countries for 1000000 id piece with in yemen itself. the hootie militia destroyed if the living conditions for people their means of subsistence for people. furthermore, other dramatically new phenomena have exacerbated the suffering of our people in particular climate change and also the destruction of our social network, our social welfare system. ladies and gentlemen, since the 7th of april, a new era has started in yemen based on partnership and national content. first through the establishment of the presidential leadership council. this drives to make progress according to the terms of the transition period adopted by

people and approved by the regional and international community. this is why we're making progress and we're doing this and through ally, and conducted by the kingdom of saudi arabia and the united arab emirates, and also the different regional and international partners to set up reform programs and urgently needed that brief new knife into our institutions and ensure that services be provided at a large scale whilst trying to curb the planet in the exchange rate of our national currency. we're also trying to tackle inflation and the international fuel food crisis. we've prioritized rebuilding our security and military institutions and to rebuild the judicial power that stopped functioning for about 2 years. ladies and gentlemen,

we're working with in the terms of reference of the gulf initiative and it's implementation mechanism as well as decisions in particular 2216 of the security council that resolution which calls for lasting peace and enables the state to recover it so 30 throughout the entire territory through our constitution and our republic in the system. here we would like to reaffirm our full respect for international humanitarian law, international human law, and human rights, instrument human rights through rather and the various different instruments and treaties adopt in and ratified by the republic of yemen. we would like to work hand in hand with the united nations and the international community to ensure that peace, security stability, and arity and freedom for all our peoples and all because of the world return. our

presidential count, saw them act today. yes, you have to have a doctor in line with the un charter and it aims and principals as well as in cooperation where the un agencies and the u. n. political missions to guarantee into aaliyah political, economic and social rights of women. and to bring an end to child exploitation, children are often indoctrinated as part of hostile activities. ladies and gentlemen with since he started the ebony crisis, we have experienced great pain. we have sought to combat duty militia. we've always maintained the same goal. and that is of the who these did not risk

bank their commitments in particular that commitment made in 2014 in santa there were geneva meetings the 1st and 2nd geneva meetings there work b q 8, consultation those in stock comb. then there was the truth, during which we, nonetheless last $300.00 martyrs. and there were violations by the militia that caused at least a 1000 people to be injured. for some week now, the humanitarian a week. now the janitor and choose has stopped. we would like the entire community to take into consideration that they have. yeah, many government did respect the true throughout. it's around the existence today. when you're out on the line, we have sought to avoid any excuse. there's no excuse to violate truce. we want a lasting peace in

a manner like this truce showed. yeah. that indeed we do lack a serious partner with in yemen. we lack serious partners who want piece b, m. and he's know today that they absolutely need to combat victorian armed groups. today we insist on the strong position of the yamuna presidential council. we are calling for a renewal of the truth. however, this must not take place if it is not in the interests of the year. many people have, yes, the terrorist militia must not gain power because they threaten not any yemen, but the whole region, and indeed the entire world. for us. ladies and gentlemen, peace, peace is teja choice. there is no doubt about this. we are perfectly aware of the difficulty of heading up our country without the participation of all components of

any society. however, we cannot except an armed militia having the monopoly of power. these are the very basis of the aspirations of the many people. they have a right right, 2 pieces which he just like all people do throughout the world to day. the militia want to place themselves above the state above the emily people. indeed they believe that they have been elected by god. they export violence across the board as they export hate speech and still achieve against others. everybody who is different to them. your countries, perhaps for some time now i've been living in peace and prosperity. that's perhaps why it's difficult for you to understand the situation in yemen where a militia is proclaiming itself as being chosen,

elected by god. this a war against us. this is precisely what the forty's dash al qaeda broke her arm and many other terrorist groups. dre the world, a calling for mister president, ladies and gentlemen, transformative solutions, which are the theme of this general assembly session. first and foremost require the principles of peace to be upheld with the existence of a stable government, one that can protect the political process. nonetheless, if we continue, i will ask you to fear the use of force against terrorism. well, that will lead to a humanitarian disaster. but in truth, we need to find alternative solutions. terrance, indeed the international community means to support the legitimate government in

order to ensure that the values of peace and peaceful coexistence prevail, diplomacy is based on an exchange of points of view. we cannot implement d, clomid c. or we can only do this in the context of a legitimate regime. it is difficult to use diplomacy with terrorist or malicious rehab if we were to, we would undermine the very principles of this organization. i'm a part of the ladies and gentlemen. perhaps the also, i'm not looking at yemen at the moment because there are other attention throughout the world. however, generous and attentive partners have through the coalition headed up by the king of missouri. do arabia and the u. h. e. they have helped us. they have said no effort,

no resource has been spared to help us on behalf of the intellectual community to protect our people. they have also hosted yamini refugees and they have been given many advantages in those countries. furthermore, a technique kotik government was set up alongside the presidential council. this government enjoys the support of the kingdom of saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. they have also been many commitments undertaken by the united states and the european union. and also the united kingdom that they have undertaken to finance many processes in the admin. but nonetheless, we are experiencing a real gap in funding. we need humanitarian emergency assistance in particular in the area of health care. we also need a rapid response from humanitarian organizations. that is why projects need to be

invested in that allow yeah, many people to enjoy means of subsistence and to in protect the a central bank in arden so that the current she can be protected. so that basic products can be protective, so that a famine potential family can be warded off. we need to act against the her team, military, malicious who are trying to divert the or rather we need to address the safer oil tankers situation. this would lead to a particularly serious environmental disaster. it was a crisis, would be a crisis, even worse than the one we experience in the atlantic ocean, followed following the oil spill from the exxon valdez vessel. there is

a need to make more efforts with you to bring an end to this situation that is being used by the as a tool to exert pressure. we are calling upon all countries of the world to ensure free navigation in international waters. we are also calling for him on a home that come out to be conducted against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in particular by the islamic republic of to day. iran is interfering in our domestic affairs in an absolutely unacceptable way . that is why sanctions against that country needs to be respected in line with law and international commitments. we would call upon the say to the international

community to reach agreement on nuclear, non proliferation and to ensure that no military aid be given to iran in particular through the provision of drones that are currently being used in terrorist acts against the citizens of my country. and of countries in the region, by the same token, the who, the militia, ah, blunting anti personnel mines in the sea and on land. that is why the republic lemons, with the one would like to urge the state to be into as a community to respect disarmament with us. we would like to talk about the need to find a solution on the palestinian question so that the rights of the palestinian people can be guaranteed on ladies and gentlemen. the universal declaration of human rights enshrines the respect for the dignity of each

human being in it. this is the very basis of freedom of justice and peace throughout the world. this is why there is a need to prioritize these rights in all action of the general assembly. and one of the aim here is to guarantee the dignity of thousands or hundreds of thousands of our citizens throughout the world who are displays to a refugees who are the subject of numerous forms of violence. manambra for the military or can do we need to show even more evidence to show that violence. it is carried out by the teeth. there is abuse carried out by the militia. in conclusion, i would like to tell you a story quite recently on friday, and i'm only a young gemini, the man was in cairo in egypt. and he was asked his date of birth by doctors. he

said that he was born just 2 weeks ago. and this is the date when he left santa. so he was born again, so to speak, after he left, a young man with nominate, he was afflicted by the loss of his family. and by having to leave all of his family behind in yemen, the yemeni p. paul aspire for your peace, they aspire for a peaceful future. and this is what all countries of the world want for their population. thank you very much. maintenance, god, i think be with you. yes, you can. some of the republic of here it is. are live coverage right there of the are they 3 that is of the 77th, the annual unit assembly. you are watching other yemen president, russia mohammed al aline, addressing those in attendance. just very, very quickly for moment here. i'll just tell you some of the highlights. he spent a lot of time appraising western partners and in particular, yelman's presidential alliance with saudi arabia. i spent

a lot of time bashing the who the rebels, not just for a moment bear with me here. it's complicated, but the who the rebels in yemen are opposed to what many call a saudi sponsored president in yemen, to who these they want their own man as president. so the who sees a cold rebels and militia, and probably because they get a lot of support from iran. but anyway, i digress. yemen is suffering the worst humanitarian crisis in the world war epidemics in a hunger of rubbish. the nation, although it is commonly said that the crisis in yemen is the world's biggest man made disaster in history. now we'll continue dropping in and out of the un live coverage from new york karen archie international for the meantime. let's get back to our regularly scheduled programming. so the latest are shelling by that over the ukranian forces of donates city has now left as we understand at least 6 people dead at least 6 others injured. that's according to local officials. i should warn you. the following footage does contain graphic images. now residential

areas have been coming under attack since the early hours of the morning. they do continue. a bus was fit, you can see right. they're leaving body parts scattered across the streets. as we understand another shell hit the roof of an indoor market. of a shelling comes just a day before a referendum is to be set. if the people to choose if they want to join the russian federation, let's get the latest. not with us. senior correspondent, his but i guess the bus 24 hours have seen a series of tragic events, especially what happened earlier. just 1000 going in then yet people hear about these, these latest shillings these, these new casualties. it will be coming de sensitized to them. nevertheless, 6 people killed 6 injured among those killed a 14 year old girl. it is worth bearing in mind that even though this is at this point because of ukrainian bombardment, which is blind in character with little purpose but so terror amongst the civilian

population, that every single day there's a new tragedy in that yet. where is my son? where is he, where tell me where they all are. my son was on the bus with miguel, i should that he just the shell hit here. the man is lying here there, some others mama, i am lucky that i survived. i saw the shell fly in here just moments before you like a good deal on the newness or simulate the shoulders for 8 years and they just continue how to ask them where they're shelling there in humane history. the source here was shelling by the ukrainian army. they directly hit the bus and there was another 2nd hit further away in the city. in the 2nd strike, there were no casualties been the 1st here. 6 people died including one child. the wounded were taken away, they will be okay. that was of course all and i in then yet square the shelling

continues me. we expect more casualties every, every day. here in your song are the ukrainian military yesterday attack with american high miles missiles, a fire station which were, which didn't have any military targets in the vicinity or anywhere near. but as well as the uni river crossing the connect your son to the east and bag of the near port river. it is the only crossing by which this entire city is supplied with, with food, with medicines, by which people take their loved ones, relatives to hospitals were all elsewhere on the other side of the river. civilian crossing was also struck. thankfully, fortunately, it wasn't in use at the time the give the platform self, the budge was significantly damaged in multiple another city, zappa, georgia, someone planted a bomb in a closed shop, 6 people injured there. i am the acts of terror that is being now investigated.

believe to be conducted by ukrainian nationalists to once again, spread dera amongst the civilian population. on the eve of the 5 day votes referendum, across multiple provinces, regions, and breakaway republics, the nearest law gods have sought. suppose you, where people will get would be given a very simple choice, whether they would like to vote to join russia. now security here, ease ease on the left, on high alert, i would say ukrainian bombardment, publications are expected to mark everywhere where the vote is taking place. perhaps to scare people away from voting in this referendum, but the what it has served to do this endless shelling, the visa, active, active tara is, is turn. and we have noticed this turn, even those people who supported ukraine, who were against russian presence here to turn them against you crave. now we will

have our special coverage on the referendums are in these regions getting underway on friday, as locals vote on whether or not they want to become a part of russia. you can read much more about it right now and our website to stay with us here at archie international. ah, the it is good to have you with us today. so africa is not willing to choose sides in the war and ukraine. that's the message coming from the well,

from senegal. this is during the un session, alluding to the mounting pressure on the continents leaders coming from the west missile president, africa suffered enough burdened through his history that it does not want to be the place of a new cold war, but rather a polar stability, an opportunity that is open to all of its partners on a mutually beneficial basis. but there are some african countries that depend heavily on imported grain from russia and ukraine. and the west is blaming moscow for a weaponized food african states, trying to stay neutral about the ongoing conflict or receiving support from moscow on getting greater influence at the un and more of a say in the post colonial era. and this comes as the united states has actually been threatening african countries with sanctions, if they buy russian oil for their president biden and says, the us doesn't force anyone to ever take time. we do not see conflict. we do not seek the cold war. we do not ask any nation to choose between the united

states or any other partner. i talk a lot more frankly, there's no better person to speak to about this right now than pepe escobar independent j political analyst a columnist for the cradle. i read your article is just about every week that i love your coverage. i typically find you on 0 hedge, but when you come to the issue of the s c o, when it comes to the issue of the bricks and china is one belt one road, you are the authority on this subject. but let's shift your attention to that of the african confident in your opinion. what is the us goal in the breadbasket of the world? well, it's basically to contain russia and china. the fact i wrote a column prompted by a lot of readers from africa. they know that i cover eurasia for, for decades now. and unfortunately, i never had time this past few years. my last long trip to western africa was many years ago during the war years. and this is a very short contribution, basically showing to people outside of africa,

how the u. s. priorities are they basically you have the hard core priority, which is up recon which is raw, military is ation. and you have the instagram version, which is something called a few people around or won't know what the alley means. password. we're getting a bit of a dodgy connection right here. i'm sorry if i'm interrupting you right now, but i think we've just lost the connection with our a g political analyst, a colonists for the cradle, and really one of the authorities when it comes to talking about geo politics these days, i think we can now re establish the connection paper that you are again, my apologies, may technology today, the better in the well, there's no way to talk. you mentioned to africa. um, this is something that a lot of people don't know about. african americans knew kind of a military intelligence thing on the african continent. i wanted to ask you though, because what, what's going on is america's a bit late. i think,

in getting to this party in africa. you've got russia who's doing an awful lot of business in africa these days, but you've got china who instead of going in there with armed militia, or should we say soldiers for democracy? you got china building infrastructure, roads, hospital schools. and so my question to you is, if indeed africa is the bread basket off the world who is going to be the one who's going to be feeding off at the most and, and taking advantage of it. we got big players there right now. pay absolutely. and the point of view of europe, especially european commission, is absolutely toxic. for instance, the whole fertilize the crisis europeans, basically they are receiving the drain from ukraine, that is coming from a best court. and it's not allowed for green to keep going to countries that really need it, which means that family african nations. so it's a sanction of form,

sanction. europeans came up with this absolutely box extinction region. and now there are sanctioning very poor countries across africa, depriving them of grain and per vises that they badly need. and even if you went this week, once again admitted that the spectre of famine across africa is absolutely horrendous. so this tells you the priority. the american priority is like we said before, africa, militarization and ya, lee, which is educating young africa leaders. european union basically depriving africa from green and fertilizers that they badly need an accessor basing a famine across the continents. and you put this in contrast with russia and china, russia, for instance, people in molly, they kicked out the french, which was one of the biggest deals in the past few years. the themes of, of africa and the russians are, they're providing security to my lease. and the chinese via the belt row,

they know so roads, they are present thing over 35 african nations investing scheming infrastructure in sustainable development incentive doll, for instance. they invested bands of billions of dollars in incentive galleys infrastructure. so one of the reasons i wonder who at the end of the day, sorry for jumping in, but you do want to pay who at the end of the day is window pro hearts and minds. the hot and minds of the people on that continent. obviously, sanctions roll down hill pay as you were saying, it's a lot of the poor countries that are getting walloped by the sanctions that were supposed to target russia. but actually, europe is essentially in effect, defacto sanctioned itself with a now its own self created energy crisis. they didn't have to cut off russian energy, but they said they had to to stop rushes, revenues to stop them from continuing the conflict in ukraine. i wanted to ask you about the powers that be in the well, today the powers that be the issue with these sanctions against russia. they must

have known that some of the poor countries in the world would be impacted by the g . a think they thought about that you think they took that into consideration. they don't care, which is even what it's, which is even worse. it's a mix of racism. being grain, racism in the atlantis is elite. and the fact that after the only thing that africa is good for is plundering which is the history of colonialism and neo colonialism for the past 200 to 300 years. and the problem is big competition with china into, in terms of providing what african nations the sustainable development connectivity investment that infrastructure the trans assist a lead or the front, the system or international bankers. they don't care because they can provide china than china. it's still a global styles, follow china is not.
