developments came off of the russian ministry of defendants. that it recently destroyed a number of ukrainian facilities involved in the production of unmanned aerial vehicles. the fence ministry said the strike was conducted to prevent here from carrying out a tax on russian territory. while a bit later in the program here on our team will bring us our breakdown of the room, solve the ukrainians conflict, and analyze the chain of events that led to the staff. over the last 2 months of violence, the m 23 militant group may withdraw from parts of the democratic republic of congo on thursday. that's according to the east african community organization. i am 23 is allegedly supported by the d. r. c. naval wonder. it's something that refutes the e u foreign policy chief. however, not so convinced the family just want to stop supporting the m $23.00. unused all means to press the m 23 to comply with the decisions taken by the

e a. c. it's also firmly just all states of the region to prevent the provision of any support groups active in the d. c. it comes as tension escalated once again with her wander accusing the d. r. c, of violating its ad space for the 2nd time in 2 months after a military plane trespassed into her wandering territory on wednesday. kinshasa had earlier denied it was an incursion calling it an unfortunate mistake. the democratic republic of congo, backed by the e. u insists that were one, there was supporting the m. 23 militia group with weapons and ammo. was allegations, again, have been denied by kick garley. now according to you and report due to m 20 three's activities and fighting within the d. c. a tens of thousands of people have been displaced in an attempt to deescalate tensions during the autumn. the east africa regional force deployed canyon troops. there was peacekeepers and locals, some of whom spoke to us on the promise of anonymity. they say the atrocities of

actually intensified why the security guard would have no security. the people are suffering a lot, the have no access to food. the rabble. saluting everything in the fields, there was no kit, not been in our village before, but sees the m 23 war starts. it is become a frequent problem with many people have disappeared. some have been shot that and others have been taken away to a known location. it was dark and many people have died while both men and women and their bodies have been found in various places. and was wooden cooper kidnapped women raped and children killed in mass? it's a situation that terrifies us because we're afraid the would. these terrorists are doing and route sure could happen in the city of goma. all these young people taken hostage, do not want to be ruled by m 23. we've asked our authorities to address the situation, so we fear the worst, the as terrorist or respect human rights. and it's shameful to see all these organizations yet that are supposed to protect human rights sitting on their hands

or in the place of such suffering. he began them bow. how a bendy with a 2022 saw the end of an 8 year french military operation in the uranium rich west african sa hell region operation. bahrain left thousands of civilians dead and displaced to johannesburg. now were not his catabolic tattler with more well troubling details. hi, this is may try the former colonial power in africa. france is fast using influence on the ground and in the continent. this wave, if attempt to keep the power poster phrase president emanuel micron and i was in you africa strategy to be launched in 6 months. this is his government's response. as franz pulls out of the say, i'll read it. the strategy is big one, ambition, but little on detail. france remains resolutely committed to the security of the continent, acton, and support. and the request to follow african partners is from this really winning

. or is it playing out like the 2020 to cut our welcome final, the former colonizer claims. it remains committed to security in the region with a street faith, paris fez. this as is until june, 3rd and mission operation, bar con, came to an in glorious end in the field of perception. birkin continues to occupy a very important presence of social networks. it is necessary to put a clear end to it in order to switch to another logic. but it will also be logical for anyone to consider operation vol. com. a failed mission, spending 8 years in the for hell. it barely lived up to his promise. there is no noticeable change in the conflict. todd bade that is this a hell and f for france. jihadists are not only fill in the region, but they seem to be gaining momentum. according to the united nations,

civilians have been displaced in their millions and they have also been killed in their thousands. the deepening of the protection crisis negatively affected the already dire humanitarian situation. the number of internally displaced persons rose to 397000 in the center in north of the country. more than 1800000 people faced severe food and security, and 2000000 children under the age of 5 are affected by acute malnutrition process . if one is to invest in said history and culture with french speaking country, but what correlation is there between uranium mines in northern new j frasier power plants, and french troops on the ground. and formerly, france is a transactional colonial power. the transitional government demands president micron permanently abandoned his neo colonial, but on the loose stick and patronize imposture to understand that no one loves molly more than moderns. in

a monday letter to the united nations security council in august, molly, i choose from violations of earth base to collect intelligence for the benefit of terrorist groups in the sale and dropped arms and ammunition to them. and chaired, edit to french, was lamenting frances interference in his domestic affairs. the french president insisted french remain pan african language in the face of former french colonies like royal elder rejecting it for english. instead, france was being rejected as an ally and rather viewed of a hangover of colonial times. instead of being humble, france blames russia and others. a number of powers who want to spread their influence in africa are doing this to hurt. france, hurt its language so doubts,

but above all. but su certain interests for more than 3 decades from the field in training and rooted on the continent. self assured, and even some might see khaki in its arrogance by 2022 for the year of humble lessons for the former, colonizer fringed diplomacy on the continent is being reviewed. and a different partner is being sought. only time will tell if this is a bad page, or if africa is really ready this time to bit fronts, of what terrible it had for oddity in johannesburg. and see french incentive and also on the rise a neighboring but kinda facile. the country's president, overthrown in september and a coo over his alleged inability to deal with an islamist insurgency protesters and set 5 of the french embassy in the capital that some demonstrations protesters were even sienna, waving the russian tri county. the russian flag that you can see them calling

ultimately for closer security ties with moscow. well, we did speak with a bike in a fast so activist and academic who started power to quote colonial attitudes to african nations lies behind much of today's anti french sentiment. in the region, she's her, her independence, our region lost. it has a glory. our foresees, this is jenny, french, an army in our area. and we can see it does force. i'm just loading up for seas and day. did they organize it? they planning to do is organize our own. i mean, we don't have the ability to, to plan and organize our foresee acting for

the need of secretion of security. and so we gotta just say that it was you reach troops for a i'll, it doesn't mean to for those for see continue. e ela e as in florida to pooler and some government id do for foresees, ah, or so i can get her in our own government programs in tupelo, c, c, c's or that attitude off. hello lou, lou nizer. i something very,

very rude and very bad. so i telling our attention to sri lanka, where mass protests gripped the country last year. a government economic mismanagement was seen as well. the main reason for the anger and as our south asia, corresponding reports of the situation was exacerbated by western sanctions against russian energy. 2022 has been a year or stronger for sri lanka. the country faced its worse our economic crisis since it got independence in 1948. the economic crisis soon spiraled into a political and humanitarian one. in april, sri lanka defaulted on billions of dollars of external deb, leaving died a nation with no food, nor fuel and no medicines. at least half a 1000000 people fell into poverty and then not to forget the western sanctions on russia and 2022 that dragged the whole world into economic chaos. and further bunch

of countries like sri lanka, not what ready struggling? do you think sanctions will help? it will only push prices up. so let's start with what's possible. let us look at the sanctions that have been imposed and ask ourselves if it's necessary, the sanctions won't bring russia to it's nice, but they will bring the rest of the 3rd world to each niece was followed was daily parlor back out, wide spread, protest on the streets lendy here was outside petrol stations. and all of that led to the fall of the long standing roger buckshot government. oh,

in july, this is war tree long gone. look like government offices run a war. public broadcaster hijacked presidential dallas ransacked prime ministers, offers set ablaze, and president, having to fled the country unceremoniously a little port or based in south asia. i half covered numerous pro. yes. or what a decade. but nothing compares to what she, lunk a witness this year. what, how did things go so bad? she long gone. biggest industry's up to resume and agriculture explored say, why the corona water is spend to make cans the tourism sector, a ban on chemical fertilizers into duels by the then president goes, i be a roger buckshot damaged the agricultural sector. the import dependent country ran out of money as its reserves completely depleted in november 2019 our foreign exchange reserves were at $7500000000.00. however, today it is

a challenge for the treasury to find $1000000.00. we must prepare ourselves to make some sacrifices in face the challenges of this period. i'll we bed good bye to 2022 . the q was have gone away, but not being the supply is have somewhat priest on what the inflation remains. the new government was hoping to get a $3000000000.00 bill out package from the i. m f. my december. but to secure that and had to renegotiate loans with its for lend does tighten budgets, spendings and booths, revenues simply means wat trouble for the island nation. of $22000000.00 people range and sharma, r t the conflict in ukraine and on bass, of course, became one of the top stories which well dominated much of the posture is global news agenda. artie walker's one on roman closer if not, brings us an extended report examining the long chain of events leading up to the start of russia's military operation in february. i should warn you,

you may very well find some of the upcoming footage to stop me. what's actually prom says europe's biggest armed conflict since world war 2 had dispute that has so for claimed the lives of thousands of peaceful civilians. washington and the collector west have been telling you for months about unprovoked russian aggression . however, it only takes a small effort and minimal research skills to finds out that the current events have been years in the making. in 2014, that the nets and lugens people's republics declared independence following a u. s. supported government cooling ukraine. the u on elected ukrainian government's response was to begin a so called anti terrorist operation against the self proclaimed republics. keith's airstrikes artillery shilling and ground troops started a barbaric war against peaceful civilians in done boss who wanted nothing to do with

a government that they did not see as representing them. with shortly after the republics became a party to the minsk accords that outlines at peace roadmap as well as special status within the ukrainian states. most importantly, the agreement should have provided for a lasting ceasefire. it did not be for civilians had continued to suffer both union plane. it wasn't today, ukraine can be happy and proud of its violence. it's civilized people who are

engaging in such things. my mom was killed. my dad was really wounded. i sent him to the hospital with moscow stood firm demanding key a full philip legation that it was breaking on a regular basis by showing residential areas of the bus. but as it turns out, berlin and paris could not care less about their agreements or the lives of the people of the boss. there chords were nothing but a stalling tactic that allowed the west to pump ukraine full of weapons. the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give the crane time ukraine use this time to become strong. as you can see today, the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of today. since 2014

ukraine has strengthened its military posture. it is the merit of the minsk agreements to have given the ukrainian army this opportunity. thus the time the prudent thought was an asset for him, turned out to be in fact, an opportunity for the ukrainians. i needed the minsk agreements to gain at least 4 and a half years to build the ukrainian forces to build the ukrainian economy, to try to train ukrainian forces alongside you natal, who come to create the best armed forces in eastern europe, according to nato center. so wait, does this mean that this so called peace makers have been crying wolf all these years, while russia actually sought away for peace and for they done buff republics to remain a part of ukraine. take a listen and make up your own minds whether they were lying or telling the truth the i'm the i my, when we had agreed that the men screaming us or what we need to achieve a peaceful solution, it's only 2. and therefore we have to stick to that one. last good,

i should hear all courtroom. chancellor merkel meets with president putin off. when i meet with the ukranian president and his prime minister, we have the same speech, the respect of the minsk agreement. no, we say it with the same firmness to each party because it is the condition for peace. the condition for a settlement when he showed up it is given schumer show in his fun of the only thing we agreed on to day with mister president. it is a clear and streaked coordination of action on unconditional and rigorous following of all. without exceptions, clauses of the means agreement, while the world was eating up. all this piece saw the collective west was military housing and pumping billions into ukraine. russian president vladimir putin has stated on multiple occasions that ukraine was preparing to solve the conflict and on boss by brutal force. he even provided intelligence and exact dates of anticipated massive offensive. now that prompted russia's special military operation designed to cure the lives of peaceful civilians and demilitarized

ukraine whose new leaders had gained a sense of invincibility. thanks to the multi 1000000000 flow of nato weapons and training way notable in wichita was 92 swore was not sorted. by us, it was started in 2014, after the cool ukraine. it was launched by the ukranian authorities to suppress the will of the people in don fast, the guarantors, france, and germany forgot that they are guarantors, they needed to return the situation to a legal process, to hold elections. and on last, this was not done. whenever i remind my colleagues about this on the phone, they say nothing about it as they have nothing to say there. just a month before the start of russia, special melissa reparation. washington sent over 200000 pounds of lethal aid and instructors to ukraine, while demanding moscow withdraw troops from russian territory its own territory along the border with ukraine. now the kremlin then demanded legally binding

guarantees which would rule out nato's eventually eastward expansion. and hence, the deployment of offensive weapon systems in countries neighboring russia. why? well, because russia did not want neighboring countries to service points of at sack, against its own territory, but that was dismissed out of hand. together the united states and our nato allies may clear we will not slam the door shut on nato's open door policy. but for russia, this was a red line. that's a key security interests and the country sovereign right to defend were ignored just like 25 years ago when the west promised not to expand nato, even an inch to the east. we understand that not only the soviet union, but for other european countries as well, it is important to have guarantees that if the united states keeps its presence in germany within the framework of nato, not an inch of nato's present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern

direction we will sink is over. we intend to discuss all these issues in detail at the leadership level. it goes without saying that the expansion of nato sphere is unacceptable. we agree with that. they have agreed, they said, what said, take a look at the map and ask yourself if those promises are now worth it. nickel nato has more than doubled in size. how back to the events of 2014 and the so called my don process and key of that resulted in a power grab that was fueled by nationalist extremists, the autonomous republic of fi. mia was the 1st to sever ties with ukraine, with locals voting overwhelmingly. in favor of independence and becoming a part of russia once again. ah

ah, now that was a decision that many had to wait for, for decades after the entire peninsula was transferred to ukraine by the soviet government in 1964. while the people of crimea experienced a relatively smooth transition, the streets of other cities such as address had turned bloody as anti my don protests were violently suppressed. on may 2nd 201448 people burned to death when they were trapped inside odessa. house of trade unions, which was set ablaze by protean radicals around $250.00 more were injured in clashes in the same area of switching to happen. there were not just crashes in the city but arson and mass murder, so that ministers of building was sent on fire. people were walking around this building, shooting at it with rifles fest remotes of cocktails and other explosive devices. going forestman was tenant there. just watching. they did not to answer the

question rises, why? because they didn't have orders to or because a received an order that they should not interfere almost 9 years later and still and no one has been held accountable for those atrocities. any scheduled court hearings were derailed by the so called patriots. the odessa tragedy became a point of no return that opened the door to an all out civil war. take a look at the situation from russia's point of you if you can, and ask yourself these simple questions. could moscow leave the people have done boss behind population that has been suffering for nearly 9 years and continues to die under constant and indiscriminate artillery. shelling by ukraine to this day was the kremlin wrong, not to trust the west and nato, who palmed billions of military age into key of over all these years. is russia wrong? when it says natal expansion is a direct security threat especially taken into account that washington has never

hidden is 3 reasons united states age ukraine and her people so that we can fight rush over there and we don't have to fight russia here. so who really provoked the war and incited hatred among the people of ukraine? the answer is clear to the families of thousands of people here and on bus, killed by caves, illegally installed regime. the point of no return was crossed. a long time ago. room on call for a martinez group public. well, thank you very much and you for joining us for this i was program from moscow. court is alta international. you can get your updates on any of the stores we covered in this program by simply going through on when i was showing wrong,

when i just don't hold any world to shape out, this thing becomes the advocate and engagement. it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah
