a list of layers with a shot still ring, a bell for the sudanese army agrees to a 3 day seat fire with our military forces in the country coming as locals, the warring sites, all the bloodshed last advice to these troops is to stop this war. i swear that there is no winter in the war, there is destruction losing, and robberies. concerns grow in washington, not the vast sums of money being sent to ukraine is ripe for telling us that total us expenditure in just over a year is set to surpass. given to afghanistan over 2 decades,

with dozens of ministers in you get that face trial on charges of stealing, building supplies, year mark for the nation for we hear from our grades, residents who want their political leaders held accountable. yeah, no, still in government. yeah. give me a bit of stealing, i what talk with families got to know. that is the only way we can build fee and why lady you lecture is true. nicea on democracy, the country's president accuses the west of quote, flagrant interference with welcome to the weekend. one minute post. am that saturday here in moscow, thanks for kicking it off with us. let's get into our top story. we begin in through done where shelling, rock the country's capital late on for the day that comes despite the country's

military and that opposition faction having announced a 72 hour a ceasefire for the muslim holiday of eat. artillery fire reportedly continued in cartoon throughout the night. dealing a blow to attempt to stop the violence, the rapid support forces who are fighting the military said it was ready to open reports in the country. so foreign governments could evacuate their nationalist. a power struggle devolved into a full scale conflict in the capital a week ago now. as the r s. f, paramilitary group, engaged with government treats hundreds of died. thousands more are wounded in a nation already reliant on humanitarian food aid and has no tips into what the united nations calls us about of us. saddam, that i'm sudan is destined to place hardships. it must be gods, will that we spend eat mixed with the sounds of gunfire and the taste of blood

instead of what we had hoped for, eat with sweets and with pastries, with happy children and with people greeting relatives that the situation is difficult. it's not so he'll last advice to these troops is to stop this war later . i swear that there is no winner in this war. there is destruction losing and robberies when i will. we hadn't found this eat at all while there is sadness for the lost lives. the destruction and looting he hasn't aiden will believe this. it is different from previous ones as it comes while we're on the bombing. we're the pure blood that has been shed, and the chair that people are living in the past days, as the blessing of security has been taken away with or keen to find a culprit for the deadly unrest in suits on the mainstream media has turned to russia western outlets accused the wagner of private military company of supporting local paramilitaries against the countries armed forces, r t, corresponding corolla, tata, can tell us more. western media has never needed encouragement to blame russia

for anything. and the past week in particular, they have really loudly stood on mountains and bang the drama about how russia and particular, the vegan, a private military group has been blamed for what's happening in the sudan. you see, the west has failed. not only does redone but the region as a whole. there is still insurgency, even despite the better part of 2 decades in that region, seeing that the will help to stabilize. this of course, follows largely from the overthrow of the libyan government and one mcgaffey. and that is, that of that kid among the pigeons in the hell as it were. but no one dares to mention that russia has no interest in a broken sudan. in fact, they prefer, as donald functional, the leader of the vegan. a private military group has offered to send

a plane full of medical supplies and of himself as delineate if necessary to help resolve the existing conflicts. and for the future prosperity of saddam, i am ready to act as an intermediary in negotiations between the parties of the conflict. the un and many others want sudanese blood and i want peace for the sudanese people. i also want to ask for the opportunity to send planes with medicines and everything necessary to saddam at my own expense. do you think that was mentioned in the way? no. not at all. they're not trying to paint a logical teacher at all. they're trying to spoon fee their audience's hoping that none will be the wiser. but surely, audiences a more critical nanette, because the founder of the regular military group that's not deny being involved in african countries. because as we have seen, he is clearly in molly clearly and the chad and many other countries. but

therein lies the logic that he is not send thee when a directive to destabilize or destroy anything. the wagner group did not commit any crimes. they tried to stick various crimes in various parts of the world to us. but unlike the american paramilitary structures, wagner, p. m. c, destroys only the enemies of the world and does not commit crimes. who arrange was revolutions in career, vietnam, afghanistan, libya, syria, mozambique, central africa, and so on. pmc, wagner later came do some of these countries and stopped the walls with an iron fist, but in no other attempt. of course, there was this one by the italian government. now, wagner is responsible for the increase in migrate through the central part of the mediterranean. and this is all part of mosque was planned to be stabilized

europe and those that support ukraine in the country. i think it is now safe to say that the exponential increase in the migratory phenomenon, departure from african shores, is also part of a clear strategy of hybrid warfare that the wagner division is implementing. using its considerable weight in some african countries. we have no idea what's happening with the migrant crisis. we don't concern ourselves with it. really. the regular been reduced to now my grand cravings. they could do better. russia, who's interested back in a group defend, is involved in the for hell region and serve that helping the country, both the surety as well as hardway. and because of defending themselves against the numerous amount of rebel groups that continue to terrorize their collective countries. and the region all the while claiming large sweets of land when

minister of was here in the continent, he expressed the fact that molly will continue to receive the support from moscow, and that was of military hardway and know how, as russians will continue to train the military of molly in order to be able to fight this vacancy on it. so of course that might be just too much good news. by the way, kind of will, it will be drawn back. we'll go adviser for saddam's rapid support forces commented on the 3rd party mediation offers saying not as long as such initiatives do not seek the profit from the conflict. the function is open to talks. we don't mind considering mediation. all we ask from the mediators, is that they do not seek to take advantage of the situation. and sudan, sudan is important to the whole world,

were for any initiative that would stop the fighting and would carry out the surrender of albert han and bring him to justice. the initiative should be offered from an impartial country from a country that can objectively assess what is happening on the ground and not through media reports. i think it's up to the people sedan to understand that america has never been there to be friends with anyone around that make us so it's all political and a national interest until a russia and the russian federation. good in there for my usaa is known to have a c, c, the menu, but it should been on the continent. and in this case, once again, it seems coming to offer the set a quote for the people. so that to kind of have a, what they say and have independence for employees in the country. so whether the say off from one is going to be accepted by the people i

think they would have to look beyond that offer and they look at their long term interest of this menus. people a comes at a time when the americans have been trying to, so discard a russian if in sudan, whereas we know that america has been in that particular region and many other pass on the continent try to kind of d, c, bullish in international geopolitical affairs. and meddling can do many of the african countries internal affairs. ok, something else to bring you to a hungary and prime minister. her question that nato statement that all members agree that ukraine should join the military alliance. budapest has long said it

will block. he abs essentially, if it continues to violate the rights of ethnic concurrence in ukraine. r t contributor rachel morrison has been looking into what the content just move. could me you know, secretary general? yes. stilton bert cleared. he shocked hungarian prime minister victor or bon with talk of ukraine joining nato on his trip to kiev. had a meeting with nato ally, defense ministers on ukrainian military aid at the alliance's ramstein air base and germany oldenburg acknowledged that ukrainian leaders. we're set to press nato on joining the alliance at that meeting. now it's a basic principle of nato membership that you can't integrate the alliance when you're in an active state of armed conflict with another country. if only because natives collective defense article 5 would mean that the men in the country at war is brought in huge native bold all of the nato allies of the den have an obligation

to defend it overtly in that conflict, which in the case of ukraine would mean that instead of ukraine versus russia, it would be all of nato versus russia overtly. so, new membership for ukraine, we kind of be like buying a ready made kids for world war 3, which is why or bond is wondering what the heck is going on. right? now is stolen birds head, just have a listen to how silverberg position on this issue has evolved on we support ukraine on this pulse. a boy is supporting as reforms, fights, and corruption on molding on staying the security and defense institutions to become a member of nato. you have to meet the natal standards on the has to be of the system bought 30 alice and it has been cleared for a long time. the membership of ukraine was not something that was imminent or not a something was relevant in the near future. the sessional membership, of course, has to be taken by all 3rd allies on the we take these decisions,

boy consensus. only dollars have agreed on bumper. ukraine will become an, a member, but still tender did temper his remarks in a tweet from kiev, saying that, quote, ukraine's rightful place is in nato. and over time, our support will help make this possible. you know, this sounds like the line that someone fees, a partner to whom they don't want to actually commit, but still want them to stick around in the relationship. you know, dear, over time i'm certain that this will blossom into an absolutely wonderful marriage, then to keep them on board, you shower them, what they expect to get in cash. just so they hang in there, hoping, praying even at the killing them, which is literally the case or your gradient. of course, their own cautionary thing that comes to mind. why would nato buy the whole, how, when they're already getting the milk for free? as former us secretary state hillary clinton said last december quote,

the ukrainians have proven that they are a really good investment for the united states. they're not asking us to be there to fight their war. they're fighting it themselves. yeah. for you to. so the craniums are out there fighting russians in narrows interests in the us is interest . while nato is able to fulfill its anti rush and found disease from the comfort of berg nomic recliners, while pumping $55000000000.00 us dollars or the engine military. that figure comes from us defense secretary lloyd austin recently that were, and of course it's the western military industrial complex. that's a huge beneficiary about 8. so you have to wonder where exactly the incentive is for nato to move beyond the status of idle talk and was promises and all this, particularly when the downside risk being nothing less than world war. well, while ukraine may not have its membership card in hand, the u. s. is set to train ukrainian soldiers to use its most advanced tanks.

washington, initially pledge to provide 31 m one a to abrams to key if, but the pentagon will instead send older versions as reports. a production of the new tanks may still be years away. the us defense secretary lead i the timeline for what ukraine can expect. we've also expedited or you want abrams timelines to supply ukraine with more armor capability in the coming months. and the i'm on said ukrainians will use for training, arrive here in germany in the next few weeks. what we see here is wary. interesting game for escalation of the corner. like it's like a speaking to them under the midst of the bees. we'd order more dose and very like, uncertain future for the so called back you bench or

d review as well. these are grainy and national is troops i receiving. i don't see that the there are any game changers coming. if and when few of them will find out their way through the front line long way to go by the region in the weapon industry. it's called fear factor, and the whole waste has teached as seen the gulf war. these do these when i'm believable power of the abram tanks, florida, or de leon bart, the western dank, and these holly mood style fear factor is now on the game. because if they send of these machines to the normal, they will be destroyed in big numbers in all numbers. what can be used? they will be stuck on the roads and in the roads. they are easy targets for, for the rush and defenders. and when that happen, and it will happen when the picture will start to flow to the western audience,

the fear factor, all these tanks will do, it used almost certainly do 0. but while washington continues to infuse ukraine with military and financial packages, the u. s. inspector general, for the reconstruction of afghanistan, has warned that the money sent to key if it's at risk of being pillaged. if american officials don't go there and see what's happening. just look at the amount of money we're spending in ukraine is about a $113000000000.00 of that right. this summer we will surpass all the money we spend for reconstruction, which was the train advise and assist mission in afghanistan for 20 years. this summer we will surpass all the money we spent from marshall plan to rebuild all of europe after world war 2. that money is flowing like manner from the sky. if you don't get in there soon, you're going to see pill fridge. washington has provided ukraine with about

$4000000000.00 in humanitarian aid, multiple times thought in what's simply called financial assistance along with tens of ability and security aid on of course i locked. going to arms and weapons as well. overall, since february last year, the u. s. has spent $130.00 ping towards the total amount inspector general has spoken about the canucks. the war with russia and ukraine is not in the strategic interest of the united states. our national anomalous url, rosner sensate, that washington lacks at fiscal restraint. when it comes to shipping funds to ukraine and u. s. citizens, they're getting increasingly fed up you know, if you hear the rhetoric coming out of the department in the white house, it's like, it's a bottomless. yeah. we are already paid for the government, civil servants. i think we're paying military salaries as well. i mean, we're paying pension. i mean we, we cover,

we're covering stuff for ukrainians that we don't cover for our own citizens. we've got so many problems here that drug flowing across the border. we've got accidents happening. we've just had another explosion of been today that was horrible. other chemical type to disclose and you've got to, you know, how i got issues in our schools. you know, people are fed up, they are fed up and at some point it will back where in the but right now we've got a state where we've got a policy that is going full, bore ahead, no back back at all, no off brand plan, new strategy and we've got to white house that supporting them as well. so it's very dangerous situation and it's dangerous for us and dangerous from the world. the at that it, well a must have corruption,

scandal has a rock, the east african nation of uganda with dozens of ministers charged with stealing taxpayers money. this isn't president is in the history of the national resistant movement administration. all this administers and a m p. 's are connected, there is a diversion of firing sheets, mental cur, emoji province, and does directed by the presidents. all must be taken to court. unknown said the charges. if phone's culpable. well, the detained officials are accused of embezzling funds, which had been earmarked to provide housing for the country's, most per stable regions fled to a massive public. i'd cry, a citizens urged the country's president to take action, calling for the prosecution of the prime minister and the vice president. they don't look at the interests of the pool. then along itself, people the self themselves. they're not stealing government yags yet. you said stealing. i what talks because we pay talks and we start to look, that is the only way we can benefit. i believe when they're asking for their money

. they asked for that people come again for themselves. i did them, we are a sedan. the big trade in court, select others known to do it because all people need is service level. not stealing . well, a local reporter, income police census. this breakdown of the current situation. what you know so far is the meaning behind voice. some have been charging the courts on monday to region and they finish out. i was going to be out by the weekend 40 to buy this condo sh shuttle. they've been a big because they're the hiring people from the vice briefly the by me suppose before, i mean was 20 minutes to the partitions involved or mid partitions before the members of the building or senior ministers. you could say that the president himself must be shot, but people, so most of the key mother was the scandal. but that time it is not

a class of people. what close to the residents, how much was done against the statement or decision on himself corner that he went to protect them anymore. so he had to order the investigator and the other government to make sure that these people apprehended. so the only thing to see what the new step budget suggestion the so called achievements of the arab spring revolution into nicea must not banish the hope of the german foreign minister. she calls the arrest of the north african countries opposition leader. a troubling development to me is yes we as in we be the arrest of russia gallucci, the leader of that, the museum party, a marta with the greatest concern as was the gyptian president statements unfairness democratic issues in recent past. the democratic achievement from 2011

am to nicea must not be lost. we also discussed his intensively at our last you foreign ministers meeting in brussels too. if i had not about to place an interference in our phases unacceptable. we are an independent, a sovereign state and we do not accept any interference in our affairs or some background, a former speaker in parliament and member of the and a honda political party was detained on monday for allegedly plotting against state security in the last 3 months more than 20 opposition politicians have spoken out against the current government have also been arrested after e. u. officials raised concerns about the croc done tune, easiest leader slung, what he called a flagrant interference. in this country's fortunate is democracy came to be in the wake of the violent western back arb spring revolution of 2011. the government that gained power afterwards faced accusations

of corruption and in effectiveness as the country really has suffered. continuing economic problems since then. many canadians have fled the country, seeking better opportunities in europe and i crossed mediterranean for the call unless jo, milan get sais. europe is catering to its own interests by interfering in the countries internal affairs. if we go back, if we took it back to the 2011 humans of the arabs free, it was sponsored by this day and are you conscious? so any fee that would be for the horse that the bet for then there will say it's a wood feet, any thing that'll be against that interest, it's a problem. you can go to any other country in africa talk use one, said the other person that is opposed to the present that they do not lack. when

africa has elections, they will only send people that they call observers by to in the euro has election . so america, after cancel, asians will never go there to observe the election. so that tells you that for the western or that you americans the still have the mazda leave kind of mentality that they have about africa. there's no good intentions, not, not far from to neither libya, same same country, not far from kidneys that they destroyed through the, our financial a through net to do all sorts of things that they wanted to loot. they would mention that one contest capture the attorney against the other. so to get african countries to fight against each other while been exploiting and looting. good assistant job langa, wrapping up this news block. we are back going underground. next. catch option on

guess right after the break, then i'm here with more of your early weekend news updates. after do hope john with blue ah ah ah, [000:00:00;00]

with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only nationally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk ah i'm african or dancey and welcome back to going underground, broadcasting all around the world from dubai. in the u. e. thousands had been killed or wounded in the past few days in the capital of what was once africa's

biggest countries to dawn emblematic of a collapsing british empire. in the 19th century ancient resource supervisor don, even after it was recently broken into with the help of nato powers is of critical geopolitical significance bordering libya, egypt, chad, ethiopia, eritrea and guarding the choke points of world trade in the red sea, so called mainstream media treats this weeks violence as a fight between de facto us back military leaders to don general abdel father albert han and his deputy. well, madame de gallow, a gay hair mattie, who was in russia recently over got you was plan for a russian military base. they don't mention brands increasing closeness to the biden administration at war with russia, and preparing for war with china. unlike ukraine, where the usa condemned a china piece plan, the usa, whose ambassador flew in shortly before the violence says at once, peace and saddam, as do china, russia, the u. a and saudi arabia, which is brokering seismic p steels,

reconfiguring the middle east and arab world. let's go straight to virginia home of cia headquarters to speak to someone who has been the most widely distributed independent journalist in the whole of africa. thomas mountain tom, i saw the channel speaking to you from c i a headquarters, i'm just saying you're in virginia and i'm not trying to got any as worship as a terrible, terrible figures coming from sudan in all seriousness, appalling news coming up. but unlike the ukraine where nato nation media know
