so that's why they are frustrated against france and frustrated against african union. the w. fred, with only reporting to that with the latest, from germane and fred, thank you. spain is accusing morocco of showing a lack of respect for the european union by allowing migrants to cross into spain's north african enclave of say you to some 8000 migrants have arrived there over the past few days. many of them risking their lives by swimming around break waters across the border. spain's interior ministry. it says more than half of already been sent back. those who make it to the shore of sale are immediately picked up by spanish soldiers. the numbers of migrants who cross morocco have decreased overnight. after more than 8000 had managed to reach the spanish enclave in a bit. more than a day. spain deployed the army to patrol the border and sent the migrants back. speaking in the parliament in madrid, 2 days spanish prime minister, a little scientists vowed to restore order and set that some 4800 migrants had been sent back the spaniel. but i remind you that the border wi

nathaniel how do you see this particular characterization coming from many western countries they african union itself following the death of. this is someone who has been pivotal in the fight against armed groups there's a sense that a continuation is good for chad good for the region nobody seems to care about the people have been oppressed for decades. that's a very fair general and fair assessment so the view from paris and to a lesser extent the united states but also i should say from regional capitals as well also in mali. but also in nigeria is that whatever whatever need aspect the transition may have on the you live sort of every day champions and on the democratic prospects for the future of chad what is most important for outside intervenors and particularly france is the kind of stability that chad and its military are supposed to. provide for the region in the form of championships that fight alongside the french and. the 5 star health forces in mali and asia in between of us so i guess you notice groups and also their contribution to nigeria's weighed against book of around and c

so they sold it off to the african union, then they are basically empty handed. so they're having people vaccinated about half a 1000000 health care workers, but those were vaccines from johnson and johnson that were basically left from a clinical trial study that was here. and they really only started vaccinated this week with a 5 a vaccine. so it's still very little, it's still very late, it's still very slow. so there's a, there's a lot of criticism on how to, for african government has been handling this. i was touched on this earlier, but 3 and a half 1000000000 dose is a good chunk of money here also pledged will it be enough given the challenge ahead look, it will probably not be enough. know, did the kovacs initiative, which you mentioned, which was going to, the idea was that that was going to bring more more quantity. but that initiative was, was mainly relying on a lot of doses of the engine sermons to do it. and now they're not getting those doses, so i know that they have a big, big gap and it will be very hard to show. all right, else been gilder in

as far as you're concerned, you are operating in south africa, you have where you meet for the african union those things are changing with covid. are these things that you're putting into consideration as a diplomat? >> you raise a very important point. today, we have to move fast, think fast, and communicate. the risk is to lose track too quickly.in diplomacy is a long process. deep and longterm action. so digital technology must not be an instrument that favors the moment over the future. we must use digital technology, but with control and caution. otherwise, we risk losing relevance in trying to get efficient. i will give you an example. as far as morocco is concerned, our foreign office has taken the initiative to fully integrate digital diplomacy as a subject lectured to our young diplomats. we want to make sure our diplomats gain skills, are able to interact with think tanks, civil society, and also control the digital world ahead of us. we have to accept that we need to adapt to this new situation. of course, the diplomat work is all about impact and influence. and we need to know h

you know, the united states supports an african union process to resolve this dispute. we, we support the negotiations which are being undertaken by the african. we are prepared to provide significant support special envoy, feltman has already been engaged on this matter. we believe again that there are solutions to this problem in really the 1st instance, what we would be looking for is sort of a 2 stage process. so initially we some sort of agreement around the immediate concern about the, the feeling that would be likely to happen in july and around which the certainly be options and the sudanese have a lot of concerns. and then a 2nd stage that really provides a longer term solution around the water and it's, it's use and, and the damn. so we are working very hard on this, but it does need to be a peaceful my, my sense is, is in listen to the, to the parties, summer, more enthusiastic about the african union involvement than others. but also some of them seem to be begging for our assistance to, to, to get more engaged in this than what we are. am i correct on that?

concerned you're operating in south africa you have the ideas of about where you meet for the african union some of those things are changing with go there are various things that you are putting into consideration as a diplomat you know it's a very. very. good we have to move fast. think fast and communicate in the very in the moment the risk and i think fletcher pointed out the risk is to lose track to greatly different music is a long process deep and long term so the digital technology must not be an instrument that favors the moment of a future we must use digital technology but with control and caution otherwise we risk losing relevance in trying to get it i'll give an example as far as morocco is concerned out of all of this has taken the initiative to fully integrate digital diplomacy as a subject lectured to our young diplomats we want to make sure that our diplomats gain skills be able to interact with think down to civil society and also control over the digital world and of us we have to accept that we need to adapt to this new situation oath of course that the diplomatic work i
