[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the, i'm very happy to be joins though, by on bus it. it will not post senior political advisor to the, to africa is a piece mission to ukraine and russia. me,

thanks to welcoming us into your beautiful home. really appreciate your time. let's start. so we, with the situation in ukraine, as we know, the african peas initiative has been boxed by the russian president vladimir putin . housing going, how exactly? what does it, what has been a cheap so far with the peace talks between last year when jeep right. i see the list of the list that from what the intention to us a dot engagement from the african site and in terms of what they've given measure with the us and the chief ment and the that the 1st thing is that it both sides accept type initiative in the request form the african side to engage eh, we say the intention no,

for understanding the conflict and looking at the possibilities of what we can be able to do to contribute to us finding any solution because that couldn't see that effect as static eh, and despite those responsible global cities, incentives, incontinent and dental and vision, that is sometimes things happen and, and know, just sitting back as those of us is in, you know, own situation. so never what conflicts is sometimes the extent of it tests are the ones that become even more empties than us. but in this particular instance, i think i'm forgetting this came to the conclusion that there is much for us in peace it in that region. in

mid the other regions where the or the tensions that the coming up because they do have an impact on us. and therefore, it was just as simple in that then to go and this and then and as they have said, and be able to make certain proposals from the basis of their understanding of what is it that makes that the inform the conflict no, you know, is that it in this continent, like in many of the it is out of t has been shut down. so there's no excess one site that information by the disadvantage to next day. and those of us who called to have access to that information. people watch cnn, bbc jobs via the anything else? so it's just a one side bombardment. eh,

and if you don't understand what is happening, it is very easy for people to get consumers and governments get into all sorts of difficulties because of the positions that they've been forced to take the when there was a decision to most things, sort of the security concept because the collective west could not have the way that and they decided to take the meta to the genetic and assembly, which is adverse events that and all they need to. and none of us to see that to own their own site. load the right side of the city, and therefore what we're doing is justifiable and the world is the recess. and all those eh, there's a new, she's that we push that. doesn't really know the reason for having

a non finding verizon machine. in a serious situation like that one, which is also a reflection of the free love to secure the consent to take the service funds and really didn't put aside for me because of the nature of this war that we're dealing with. and then our understanding is quite clear that the say well for example, and of course the edward to take a decision as to where we stand on these issues. and once we decided to take a decision, we as a country and we became singled out a 100, then they did. the attendance vote says what i love them vote for many of the others . i've stayed like us as vote deeds, but do i the one who get picked? why does that? does it go for decently? so ever the board is defense on us. why are you doing this area sitting at that example?

so we have to take all the sectors into consideration of members. people think sometimes people think that we take this decisions mainly and purely on the basis. they forget that we also have a nice day and we also have a history and the we have gone through the pains and all the difficulties that the core door imposed and all of us. and so we understand what is being had been moved and settled that she was able to make informed decisions in tens of what affects us. what is the noah interest and how we should respond to all this developments as a sponsor would go once it gets in and together we find out for kids and those who are willing and ready to be part of this. despite the effect of how they vote that,

and that's occurring in the general sense, which is a good thing that these are diverse group and which also include the chair or the a you so that the folks at the continental, the situation is associated with that process so it's not just individual eh, countries, edwin, but the bus also had to did the child the a you, which meant that a, you also had an interest and outcome and i'm showing that preparatory process is a lot of consultation said going into this. people do not just wake up one morning and say, let's go to it, let's go to do it that it took care of and then to muscle. eh, does a lot of things that different, did the background into consolidation said, looking at what is it that can be done? and that's one option put the, this is so it is something that the,

the could do collect is given the complexities of the crisis in ukraine and how it's had this ripple effect across the world. so many countries around the world has happy affected by this. how up to mistake all you that's a peaceful settlement can be reached. you know, when, when the say it crises broke out the use that the term crisis. deliberate. eh, we have to take sheets as to where and what exactly it was happening. they get question, know the expansion of not the is something that we should not and play down and under estimate as part of the reasons why that i shouldn't say that they shouldn't had to remind everybody about the meeting. so agreements that they will agree, man said to look at this very specific issue because it was easy,

never time that would be security concerns that the left of the test and they're particularly engagements to please agreements with at least in these agreements are being ignored. and the expansion of nato is continuing to get to you very much, very close uh to watch it. and they put us that option for donation and that kind of thing, tony that the company that and some of the decisions that we are taking the to move away some of the agreements sorting sense in terms of it obviously invitations and due to agreements that are in place at them, for example, we just decided that i'm going to split up of this the so there was a number of things that do it happening on the same day, which caused

a lot of concept. and of course, the changes that took place and you created new demand and which they did the gave it to the sick and the doors. the determination to push back on what was i, chief to 98, eh, with what the cause people call to follow the village on the for the goal for a better product that is ation. and the so called you world, or the suppose to if you mess out of that end of the quoted or is it does cost. but then the security challenges that messed eh, and some of them had been there before the collapse of courtney core. and then most of the other countries joining the you, you could see the, there was a movement that was taking a different and from everything else that that happened before. eh,

and therefore for some of us with eh, we had gone through that least experience who understood what the call was all about. and so i know that, that not me, except that taking place during that period agreement is that to be made. how did the out of them add additional vent that they've been developed, add on those theaters that on the time we're part of those processes. so you understand the dynamics of what happened. and because it also had an impact on old started eh, open up at least that we had never even imagined the time. they end up. but was there was a sheets and the suspending dumps that either does part of one of those different governments. so we've always been affected by what is being to happen,

and therefore we become very conscious of intellect, development and, and the weight as to how it affects us and how do we respond. and so how do you feel about kids piece proposal that we sent the health piece folks in jetta, sorry, ravia, excluding russia. how do you feel about that? you see do i, i've been involved in courses management there for the best time of my diplomatic life. i still continue to do so isn't up to the state and mainly the continental with the the, with this thing thing that i'm working on. so most of the intervention see the continental quoting. i understand what this whole thing means. and there is no way that you can come with that piece proposal that exclude mobilize everybody else and exclude with

the other side issue, i've screwed there, i shifted and what, what kind of these photos i know you're coming about who bring about what type of it piece is an escalation of for your more web points being request that pharmacies being data from what device it says don't kind of piece is this that we're talking about and why so data? because these are all the questions that they should be asking ourselves why? so do you have any but they agreed to host it? i'm sure there must have coincide that or it's always more square that well being of proofs to host just me to the as to who decided who has to be invited. and some of those things that they've never really been fully to close as

to whether easy to really, eh, that you created, disclose it if it perm folder is something that we have to weigh it because the, the, at the end of the day, what and what decision is that they make, they don't seem to be independent decisions. the effect i, in the interest of this one size of the sponsors of the, of all beings, nato was mid to but us in particularly dental hygiene. so it's not a sub position or anything. and what kind of response have you had from the us and other western countries to the african paste mission? have they been supportive, have a price that you know, the interesting thing is that the slot of your delegation is up, gave you a to try and understand what happened if you go through a consent and he tested that, it's african the what, why,

why do you want to do this thing, eh, because say they were not expecting that this is what to do. what they're expecting is that they've been bulk seem to have gone over, seen that you interesting to take sides. and the in a divided 3 keeps regardless of what happens at the you and we responded. so there was no collective response that to do been kind of that as, as an african response. so as a country wasn't responding eh, on the basis of his own assessment, of what is happening, or whether this is a genuine effort towards addressing the problem that the or facing and of course with us. because this is a, we're seeing india because of the decisions and the mainland to retrieve out that in this image. another last name, despite isn't i'll expand this, you know,

fold a lot of pleasure was being mounted on us, the location of the tennessee she didn't come here today to discuss all sorts of things including these really, eh, men and richard volt volt. then the, some of these countries were even clear that they're going to punish us with it. so we knew that were being punished. eh, well, the decisions that does it taking by the u. s. order since, i mean the question of go is not and you're saying that they wanted to x 2. this is been ongoing right now is there is a number i said that they've been ongoing a good day with that issue was on the table just been discussing congress the to the side as that k must of me continued dealing with this problem in this challenge. eh, because there was

a feeling that it may be because of our level of development day we have what that advantage or why last week it, we don't concise that maybe the issue changed at midnight and to reach a eh, because i take with us what's the what are the key country with us and then officially obviously knuckle. so they've been that content, but part of the con said advisors from cna times, so it's constituencies where impacted negatively by some of the decisions that they're taking for the sensor that flu that that the cropped up. and then when we shut down the excess. so for a pointer from you as an update to brazil and most of the didn't take you didn't like indoors that more release a show,

you could understand the basis. but this then provide that an excuse for them to escalate dorsey. but in the congress, that is eh, what nice, the new issue is with bi partisan. the decisions become the major or the date because the or dependence on for systems didn't go on this. so you as a bi partisan decision now on this issue, we should try to push during the period when we're supposed to host a war list, a push to host, and that's going to is b, c. and do days is during the tutor that isn't as good, they should know this thing. and in a proposal that the, the administration might have to reflect on whether we should continue to allow it so that if i got to host it, they left it open with that to beat the discussion and setting engagements of

continuing. then the zip is uh, issue that it also r as in alpha village, that exercises that we have conducted between china now and news is between 10 and i last year inside. perfect. eh, and the postponement, or cancellation of one that was scheduled to de u. s. that also became in each then the next, the next thing though, is it a sheep that talk to you named lady. i don't know what that means. it does good or sense of quality sheet though because of the controversy around the end of the being of q is that cheap loaded ups from here to support the wall. and that was being this vision really titled by the issues that to be launched by

a much into the nation i did give as it does part of this collision. you know, the pressure at, in the midst of all that, this thing you measures because they were saying that to are not you to that we're taking size. so i do a type to prove or level that this say old notion of no, no line position. so 1st that at the is taking sides we uh, strong, putnam, this is china and the, and russia and then re to be punished for that. they denied that the sled quite open. but of course, who understood the implications. so for that and some of the challenges that came with that. but we had to because she was taking deliberate conscious decisions. eh, and did things in the, in the, which we did didn't own interest in understanding the implications that off

uh, were able to stand our ground and, and when this of what you need it came about. we saw this is precisely what we should be able to do. but at 1st, it does being scalded on it though. now the question of taking sides, it became a little bit difficult acquisition to them because they were thrown out of balance . and that to say, what does this thing know? how to continue this propagation. now to begin to daily this confident that is a better example door, these are for kids that you can actually stand up and the and see this is our position. do they feel like they, the hostile behavior of the us is only having opposite effect is pushing african countries close to, to russia and china and cementing the brakes and the bricks blog. when did they

did the issue, the but it's a does not the direct it seeing that what are the breaks i will be what i do for is that so it should legitimate coincide and what it is that they did that shift. so the issue new polarity in this dominance is a big challenge and it's likely to end, at least more countries said being attracted to the sort of tentative. and some of the did that offers that the brakes is putting on the table. does that attractive to describe it is because of the man i knew each eh, they've been tant, we send to that in the past. so they want to belong to something with these genuine, putting a sheep with these because they respect that where they can be able to trade or to whatever without any restrictions being imposed way

a newborn or choosing for them who they must trade routes or do whatever so these, that desire, and this is that is, that is a, i think, is creating a lot of concepts and therefore in a manual face to face situation. now where he's interested in teaching can be here at patrick, patrick. and i'm saying that the eh, at delivery because of the position didn't reach you, find our service in relation to our domestic ation of the the arrow searches which is great that prevents on us and who does the competitive because of domestic legislation to effect their water into 1st so that became edit pressure on us,

could have been intended good the next it into the director take all those things into consideration, but it had been in direct impact on the meeting that to the hosting. that's why, for the long as of the time, the focus here was where the president put in is coming or not. if you do the media here, the or physician, and then that as through as it away from all the preparatory meetings that isn't taking place of all the a situation. so the breaks we create a reflection of part of issues for hosting this i meet and the nature of the decisions that are going to immeasurably yet for dislike the meetings that have been taking place and the impact that but what it would have and the decision and the principal is that to be agreed upon and defined in terms

of the expansion and those that want to enter the criteria and that can be developed. so the new challenges for the collective waste, but really match up on this. we have so many countries wanting to be a positive breaks now and this rising, multi polar, well that we're seeing in the mean we're sending use space unipolar. well, don't we with a multi polar? well this is i did, it is going to be so fire and equal and every country would have the ability to process the without the, the dominance of the us. how do you view it? well, it really be like that simple. don't, don't be that simple or the fact that these resistance now and although the big less that do i see eh, is precisely the increasing the deal, putting things out of 10. she's on most of that actually knew this meeting that

took place in the in camp david does not bags it and it's part of that makes it there for us to look at this. you put it together, time it and every sick the way it is happening. what impact is going to have all of a sudden all of these things happening outside to the united nations. it. so trying to introduce each of month to let the lives him as the they did the decisions and state does all day and night that nation such as capability to deal with several of these more than challenges. so do you and it says is being invited to a lot of our lives a, me, so the tech was the decisions that i didn't taking outside of the you and, and those that they want within the u. n. as a kind of investment for the decisions that would really take to undermine the very

foundations of the unit. uh, which was to avoid another war. and why should you find our sales and just in a, in a situation where they this escalation, is this a p type for home, tennessee. so $26.00 investor as military complex because that's the way everything goes now does appropriate in the challenges. so for a type of let me change in the hallway and people say a one been associated so question is rising is why are we funding so much money to do you play in the window? what are the challenges? europe is benny. the impact of a climate change is that the terrible the winter because the could not access gas and scholars should need prizes sitting in the dock and then there's ways of challenges slots. and it took

a long while. right. but the government seemed to be focused on something that they cannot make sense out of the end of the day because it happens in their own name and the beginning to question this issues as they did in the past, but not in the same way. we're not sitting the same way. there's usc and english wanted there yet the level or other forms or foundation that monday for us that themselves. so they've been also a change in demand and reach people to respond to every noise, more information, accessing information available. but i gain because of the money relation or for that information it, it, it set up with it. therefore,

you also have telling decent programs to that extent the, the the, the,

[000:00:00;00] the the while athletes might spend a lifetime becoming the best and their sport son decide to use their notoriety to express their opinion on political and social matters. at least often become a symbols of their communities and countries. different governments and political entities often try to capitalize and interject international diplomatic issues. i'm sky now. he is in on this edition of $360.00 view, we're going to look at the port is ation of athletes. and increasing power they
