4:02 pm
state department seeking partnership in the may 29th elections. it is outrages that south african political parties are appealing to foreign governments to interfere in our electoral processes, including through funding of so called voter education activities. display is a clear attempt to bring about regime change. the skies important needs to go language. south africa sovereignty is not up for sale to any country, whether it'd be from the east or the west, the gain see condemns in the strongest terms of the da's and it's one shot onto transformation, a line sale of our sovereignty. those obvious thing to me is by the reading cox, the code to st. updates. so i need to find the official opposition party. i'm asking the you is to into see the nation premises also back because this is of costs not see it public, but i'm seeing that sylvester can face the if statement around optimal crack techniques is on the 29th of may, the tensions and no buses or read the pop up books,
4:03 pm
the 1st free index and companion, 2 in 1994 was the already characterized by tensions environments but also by a great deal of hope in searching that this is the most critical election in 30 years. also the african democracy at the central office, of course, is the african national congress. the huge vacancies of africa, imports black majority rules. is that correct? yes. but then again, multiple polls in the past few months. it's showing that the n c could get below 50 percent. however, president off with the countries the post as publicly said that it is confident that to the is the will retain its majority in the upcoming elections. as the alternatives include the lift, we copy this call to the economy, freedom fighters, and also a former prison. jacob zoom unexpectedly, very recently, declaring support when you deformed opposition party. i'm calling to is sees which, but the biggest opposition party shot is the democratic allies. it already holds
4:04 pm
power locally in key areas of the country each, but it struggles with an image of problem many black. so that becomes a struggle to vote for the d a because the need is a white man. and when you say that it is a white party, it is also the democratic allies that sent the data to the 62 states of the united states. anthony, blinking through the us invested interest of africa saying that it wishes to supplement its appeal to the international community and helping to ensure the integrity of the upcoming elections. the n. c. a had said that to the d a is the offerings of africa solvency on a silver platter by sending this increased. but that's one that we know that has the geo political sands continue to shift. those of us invested in the political values of freedom, tolerance, peace, and democracy must do everything in our power to stem the rising tides of populism, fanaticism, oppression,
4:05 pm
and tyranny. it is our contention that as the ruling elite grow more desperate to retain electoral support and of the upcoming elections, they may be willing to put their narrow political interests ahead of our country is broader interest and sacred constitutional values. we therefore appeal to your government to recognize the high stakes for south africa in the lead up to and the aftermath of the n p. e 2024. it is in this context that we now formally request our partners in democracy to engage with consequence in the run up to the election . and that's what we're looking at here comes as a shock to menu. so that free time because it hasn't even been 2 months since the african prison settled. i'm opposed to say that, and this is a case against is well in the eyes to j could result in foreign powers interfering with the outcomes of this close to the next is that we are looking at. and now this is happening, but it seems to watch the office, the position quality is austin,
4:06 pm
among other things that is for resources to be made available to both stuff, the deployment of the additional independent domestic observers. it's also asking that the you is provide the vote to education and capacity building for domestic money to the and it was asking that to the us house, to safeguard against any attempts to disrupt the democratic prostate o influenza. the electoral procedures would misinformation. and this information, of course, the n c has had a chance to respond and it has made it clear that the it welcomes the constructive engagement and dialogue with all political parties, both domestically and internationally. but it will not tolerate any attempts to undermine its democratic proceed. oh, manipulates it's election or the countries the next is that it has also called the democratic alliances agenda, reactionary, and also in humane. and you'd also remember that this is not the 1st mid test that the d a has decided to issue, but this one,
4:07 pm
it says it's somewhat saw pos than the previous ones that he has been to the g 7 countries, or even the u. r condemned to direct support. i'm just concerned about for an interference indeed. nixon. now the question that to me is how can a position bring the long about potential for any to feelings? well, at the same time, it is practically austin the united states to do so. earlier we spoke exclusively to african national congress spokesperson mailing the bank do much serious. she says, the ruling party isn't surprised with the attempts of receiving change, given the opposition's political stance. we don't know what that is. suppose we'd be or has been for all the us, but we do know that there and we are going to and we always expected that there would be an attempt at regime change, the democratic alliance. the police come and put us, the positions that they stand for would arrive very well. which of those in the go
4:08 pm
by not that do not want to see about the new quality that allowed to created across the world. and particularly in the countries of the south, including south africa. if you look at a, as an example, if you look at the level of coverage and inequality in the western cape, the only problem is governed by the d. when a d a say where they come and they govern well, but go and have a look. they have a look at, they lash conditions under which the minority needs and going to look at the state of townships in, in cape town, it's out areas of the wisdom teeth go and have a look at the types up way, you know, refuses not clipped. it in what is predominant you known as split areas in color communities in of communities that gives you this story of the university of new
4:09 pm
quality that is not going to be raised unless the different government takes a lot of the wisdom k b. so, so it's a, it's a question of those i want to maintain in sustain. so the lucas you will stop at each federal. i must say that to come simply in that we have strong internal controls in, in, in the country in terms of robust and independent business solutions that are meant to safeguard elections in the i, u. c. so, but also working with a for this, such as to set the can human rights commission in many others. and we are comfortable that keeping the cd and so far, institution, we wouldn't be able to protect disability. or from most of the africa. you can be assured that we will look in the attempted composing a way i'd say us. so any of the, you know, ally, we would look at a not just as the in see the people, the certification we filled in,
4:10 pm
you attempted to interfering with our addictions. we spoke with locals in johannesburg who gave us their take on potential american interference in the upcoming elections that is totally unclosed for, for the d, a to wanting to, to intervene, americans over c o at elections, of which we never intervene in there on elections. so i don't think that is a very is of eric, which i did or the civic with move. so 100 percent, i feel like it's unfair on so that it can citizens because i don't understand the relation between the, the political parties and our political parties. i believe that as a sort of the vacant citizen, i'm supposed to have my c as well with regards to the polity of political industry and all that. they don't reside. yes. so difficult to to be. that's good to see with regards to that, the us itself though,
4:11 pm
has very different rules when it comes to 4 and modeling under the logan act. any engagement with foreign governments as forbid and unless it's authorized by the federal administration and acted in $1799.00, it's still in place aimed at preventing interference and u. s. policy. the founder of this and bob boy, anti sanctions movement says the act, the classes with the us track, record of meddling and other countries affairs. it does a contradiction and it's a contradiction because the american government does not expect accept region change for anybody in america. works to with foreign powers, the american governments, the space street about locals for the citizens going without a mandate from the american people to go and speak on behalf of the american people, the american government. as far as governments, because we believe that this would threaten the national security interest of the united states of america. i don't think that that is a reasonable their lives. i'm of the americans based support for the west,
4:12 pm
and at some point for friends of free can use control and a piece for my calling. these and the intentional intent to on these countries to try to break the visited use of imperialism is the reason why a lot of applicants turn away from america. went out to another part of the world where the us is reported labeling the deployment of a marine security team to haiti. admit that countries ongoing gain crisis, but that's as low as it goes. washington itself of drag in the country and the chaos with at least one person killed and several wound at a mid rampant gang violence in the capital. a large scale, a salt targeted to the presidential palace, interior ministry, and a local police headquarters gunshots had been reported throughout the night. the gangs are now said to have seized control of large parts of the haitian capital, as well as roads leading to nearby cities. authorities have extended a state of emergency for at least one month from
4:13 pm
a haitian woman who lost her husband and the latest silence. and when i arrived here, i saw a crowd of people moving around. i immediately worried about james and when i reached house number 4 to be, i came across the body of my husband, the line in the st. james had never been in contact with anyone. she was a single secret salesman for a company and he owned a motorcycle. she was simply struggling somebody to leading this foot as her friday evening shows a local police station in smouldering ruins, while vehicles outside were also torched by mobs, officers fired or flares to disperse, angry crowds. patient gang leaders want prime minister. all real henri who is currently outside the country to resign over his failure to handle the security and economic crises. thousands of inmates also escaped earlier this week during a prison break many returning to their gangs. because lake washington for the unfolding crisis, is that it is the haitian government that agrees with the gangs the united states
4:14 pm
is responsible for these chaos because they are the ones who send the web us to create it. all. i realize the owner of this country is the one who gets the weapons to the get us to destroy our lives and everything we have. he's the one who knows everything chaotic seems at the haitian border was the dominican republic, 2 of police struggle to stuff. scores of civilians from russian and cross the 2 caribbean country share an island territory over 15000 hastens. i said to have been recently displaced amid the spiraling situation in the country then cuz i like human rights attorney says washington's policies have taken a toll on the spiraling crisis. and the country in the us intervention has invariably been negatives for the people of haiti. and the us uh, you know, believes they are the only ones who can, you know, create biling to redeem changes around the world and they do all the time for a long time. i think the issue was that haiti was setting the bad example of
4:15 pm
getting rid of chattel slavery again prematurely when the us still ad chattel slavery hades resisted french colonialism as well, which is also a know now in most recently, frankly, it's been discovered that 80 sitting on billions of dollars of minerals that the west would like to get hands on. so i think all those things combined or leading to increased western intervention. haitians aren't the only ones accusing the us of actions leading to turmoil and their country. washington's policy in africa has also been raising plenty of questions. let's have a listen to what was discussed at a recent us state department briefing. the united states does not support violent or on democratic changes in government, in africa or elsewhere. and all violations of us export regulations will be punished to the full extent of the law. but that rep for the united states is about
4:16 pm
support violence or on democratic changes to government, africa or elsewhere. we do not somebody grappling as the us state department spokesperson squared away. the question still hangs in the air. that's because the answer is definitely not so simple. and rewriting history doesn't pass the smell test, us train troops, i've been involved in at least 12 cruise in west africa, and the greater so whole region during the so called war on terror as america scoured the globe for the next leaders to gift with a revolution the places where america has conducted military training include burkina, faso, chad gumby, a guinea, molly, mario tamia. i need year to name a few of the doesn't last year. victoria new in the us under secretary of state a k americas soon to depart. routine change queen was asked what the us was doing
4:17 pm
to slow the parade of african officers over throwing governments, which the us have trained them to protect. so some folks involved in these crews have received some us training, but far from all of them, you need to talk to them about why they are over throwing their governments are a message in all cases was that the citizens of these countries deserve to see democracy restored and that particularly in molly and burkina faso, we expect both of these uh, insurance governments to meet their commitments. trying to explain it all way if you want me if to 0 in. but washington will have a tough time watching a pensive involvement. as since the 2 thousands, it's regularly deployed, small commander teams to advise assist and the company local forces even into the
4:18 pm
battlefield. but this involvement has led to the stabilisation as an increase in terrorism. the latest to orchestrated by some us train troops in africa took place a new here just last year and it's not a topic us senators, are afraid to openly admit it appears that the united states trained yet another to leader in africa. it's a disturbing trend and a sign of how badly mist allocated our national security spending is on the continent. it's a recipe for disaster. and it's part of the story about why crews are spreading all across africa in lots of places where the us has delivered lots of military assistance, but not enough economic cooperation. but who can forget the 2011 us sled operation in libya with the removal and assassination of pan african, a small market dollar fee. the k of led to the,
4:19 pm
the stabilization and privatization of the countries oil industry, putting wells into western hands and created what some of called the libyan slave trade. all quote, under the size of humanitarian intervention, 3 came, we saw, died. have anything to do with your visit? i'd sure the news, or was this here for profit that bush's needs, the american government, an american needs to send their troops and the agents around the world. or in the case of libya, it's very clear they want to the oil. libya is one of the richest countries and the commodity of volume. they wanted the geographical location, libya, centers,
4:20 pm
the mediterranean sea and is regarded as the northern gates of africa. and they wanted libya's somewhere in funds. these events help these stabilize these nations, which then lead to more us and western involvement. and the more recent military coups, of course, washington and the bloody fingerprints. i've also been found in latin america and the caribbean. recently the white house, the night that the u. s. is forcing haiti's prime minister to reside while pushing for new elections in the country. we are not, we are definitely not pushing prime, that the prime minister to resign. that is not what we're doing, but we have underscored that now is the time to finalize a political court to help said haiti on a path to a better future. and that is something that we've been working on for some time. we've been working that on that with the care. com,
4:21 pm
so that is nothing new. we've had those conversations and also the haitian partners on the path to restoring democratic order and haiti through free and fair elections, inclusive governance and power sharing. this will give the people of the an opportunity to democratically elect their prime minister. a reminder that 20 years ago this weeks, the us government plays paydays and then elected president, who had called for the french to pay reparations on a plane from guantanamo bay to the central african republic with a full slight plan. after he was relocated, a qu, ended a decade of democratic progress and more information today, points to the c i a 's for wrecked involvement. it took the us 58 years to recognize haiti's independence. their priorities haven't changed and today's american policy is more or less consistent with the way it's always been. the crew of september 1991 was undertaken with the support of the us administration. and in
4:22 pm
february 2004, it happened again. thanks to many of the same people. since then, haiti has endured 2 decades of a revolving door of us 5 for james and today the caribbean nation. welcome cit. cool anniversary. without a single elected official and office and no elections inside. while most haitian space catastrophic humanitarian conditions. so here we go again. more intervention and haiti, more of the same from america as countries around the globe, sean pass colonial powers, and seek independent home growing leaders that have their country at heart as russia and china and the global south form of multiplan your world. in the face of former us dominance and control and tel aviv thousands of people flocked to the streets to protest against is really

4:26 pm
to to connect again with the canadian consulate to norma law. and i thought that i could add more value to the people in palestine and from the outsides versus inside because especially during these, investigating times and successfully, you know, i passed through that off on the board there. it took a few hours, we were given a 72 hour visa image to stay in egypt by when, by which might issue the temporarily canadian passport as mine was about to expire . and i decided to come to door basically because to put it to can landscape theaters much more or less teen and friendly, which would allow us to continue to work. we stopped in the zone for weeks, months, or who had used, where the focus of fronting speculation as to what had happened after communication. what was lost with you. and on one side,
4:27 pm
you had the people saying that he was maybe apprehended by the adf. other people said he had to go underground because of the, the relentless attacks by israel. some is really people were calling you a uh from us. i said, how did it feel to be in the midst of that, of that media storm, not reporting about the story being the story in any way i was a mess. message is really is, wouldn't have tools me leaving for the, for in any person that leaves the board or even if now the national, the bus sports, they need to get 3 approvals, waterfront bursting, one from israel and one from egypt. so the matter of fact, once i got approval to leave by the, is really forced, it shows up and nothing that's, i'm not an assets off uh off for from us when we went missing, we were always there in time. you want us, it's just that we didn't have internet connection. so we uh,
4:28 pm
so afterwards let's later on when we were able to come back, safety draws for hospital more to milwaukee. so we learned to yes. and there was a lot of focus on finding really my sore. and i have mixed feelings because i want to focus to be on the 2400000 other students civilians who are suffering and not just on, on, on the, on, on, on a person. but at the same time, and i felt that this was how to push our story more in terms of the month. sort of that example also put a cdn who was trying to help the scene in pause. and we need to utilize his voice and his brand in order to ensure that you know, the right. so the students part of it turned the right to stay with our to international. i'll be back with much more news in about 30 minutes by the
