okay, what, when for what, the 1st a big example we're in, sub saharan africa is the central african republic. you know, there where the new regime came after the election lived for central idea. and the country was under embargo, a weapon embargo because they had so many conflict. so the unit you what you and the united nations decided no weapons going there. but what happens was that then revenues where getting weapons on illegal ways and the official government wanted this embargo to believe it. and they asked friends to help them live. that embargo and friends was not really interested. and he said, and they say, well they is it, why don't you ask russia they can give you some legal arms on it, and then what they need. i'm making a long story short. so that's why they just do russia, russia where it's like, oh, he didn't really believe i'm said to do to come to us. yes. and that the way they came, i just want to bring her now i. 6 i just want to bring in marissa here, if i might just, just on this point. i mean, what are the risks for some of these african countries in siding with russia?

it is true that we falsely to sudan to the central african republic in order to strengthen its forces the past , russia was very good. putin and macron cooperated in this regard, and the european union, nato, turned a blind eye to seichev's wagner, that they were there works well in lilies maybe where it was first noted now, well, it probably won’t be like that anymore, but then russia takes a big risk well, there is no need to annoy china as far as i can imagine i know that the president of this central african republic immediately flew to beijing to apologize that your people were killed here and we here you are to blame, you are not abandoning us, we love you ladies and gentlemen, chinese, last question and if possible a short answer, i do not guarantee that the question will be short, can we imagine some changes in chinese foreign policy after all, this is the same policy that was in place for a year. well, there is no doubt that they are already interested in ukraine, but china, in my opinion, has always tried to be an eastern state , to wait for the corpse of the enemy to float

so an central african republic as nif menu observe as wondering which country is next in turning its back on of france. that because just a few weeks ago we saw francis flag lowered for the 1st time. i mean, for the last time in between a fossil marking the end of 13 years of prisons by french armed forces in the west african region was also spoke to by this speech. was the conversations around president o biden's administration, trying to increase its engagement in the african mass via in a tom aimed at pushing back against a rising russian influence. now, it's clear that a mac run wants to set the record straight by reshaping francis image as one without any condescension, by adopting a new approach of partnerships based on your quality with african countries. but just how far president micron wall continue. what this dance is still and clear. we spoke to a senior research fellow with a center for africa, china studies, coffee quack, who, who stays at france cannot be trusted to leave africa. he said, pirates is addicted to the continents resources. i didn't praise them our grades

gohler, republic of congo, and democratic republic of congo. france has announced its scaling back its military prison on the continent, calling out of molly's central african republic and burkina faso with the government ordered them out. we'll have a lot to discuss with our guests. but 1st, this report from paul brennan. after decades of colonialism and neo colonialism, it was francis withdrawal from molly last year and burkina faso this year, which in fact confirmed the shifting geo politics. in central africa, french troops were forced to leave, and the military gunter, in each of those countries opted for a new alliance with russia in the form of the mercenary wagner group. president macklin openly admits that mistakes were made in marley and his foreign nation tour of central africa will sell a more cooperative vision with host nations. cultural, scientific and educational partnerships and military bases where the french troops operate as partners rather than commanders. not organisms ever get with zillow. the reorganization is not meant to be a retreat to a disengagement. it will materials through an african ization or mutual operation of the

central republic the opening of the night, when we go to the government table and along with ms. jafari, the reporter, say hello, good morning, we will find out about the missed appointment today. good morning to you too , and hello, to the dear viewers of this part of the news network that you mentioned, it is scheduled today. the barkat comprehensive cancer center was built by the barkat foundation in 1998, and the project has been completed and the center built by the president is put into operation. in fact, the purpose of this center is to there is that screening discussion of diagnosis and treatment of diseases it is cancer rather than prevention and modern and advanced equipment is also used in this center. hopefully, our colleague, one of the journalists of the government desk , will prepare reports in the next hour of this center, which is supposed to be put into operation with the presence of the president, and we will have live communication. and the president's departure will be reported on the khabar network as well as in various news sections, and we will listen to

>> the first big example in sub-saharan africa is the central african republic. the new regime came after election and the country was under embargo, a weapon embargo, because they had so many conflicts. the united nations decided no weapons going there. we are getting weapons in illegal ways. the government wanted this embargo to be lifted and they asked france to help them lift that embargo. france was not really interested. they said, why don't you ask russia? that's what they did. making a long story short. they turned to russia. we told you to come to us. tom: i just want to bring in marissa here, if i may. what are the risks for some of these african countries in siding with russia? we know all about the wagoner group and what they are capable of. what risks are there for some of these countries and governments that get into bed with russia? >> i think the first important thing to note is we have to be very careful of blaming russia as being the destabilizing force in africa. what russia has done and what the wagoner group is still doing is taking advantage

that ousted haitian president jean-bertrand aristide who was flown against his will to the central african republics after the coup, aristide fight united states and flew back to the caribbean, flying into jamaica. randall robinson accompanied aristide, flew to the central african republic, along with congress member maxine waters and others, picked up president aristide and his wife mildred and flew back to the western hemisphere. i reported on that flight, joining them on that flight and interviewed randall robinson about the u.s. role in the coup. >> condoleezza rice, colin powell, and dond rumsfeld should be ashamed of themselves. president aristide is the democratically elected president. the last time by 92% majority. of haiti. and he has come home to the caribbean where he belongs. he is the president, democratically elected, of the democracy that they overthrew. america ought to be ashamed of themselves. we are proud of the role we have played and bringing him home to the region where he belongs and we hope -- where we hope you will stay. amy: he latest wrote about it in a book. in 2007, i

laws to create systems that serve us all to live effectively for dolls in french about the central african republic we started with one lawyer who worked part-time in order to ensure that everyone has the right , in order to be protected, it hurts for 20 years in kazakhstan and we are engaged in the promotion of human rights and freedoms in the field of political rights and freedoms , the president will give awards, the first woman who headed the center of the african constitutional court gave she learned that and managed to protect the rights of all people , regardless of their uh, she allowed the president to rewrite the constitution, she spoke out in defense of the rule of law from jordan, she gives uh, to a lot of clients opportunities to protect their rights who would otherwise not be able to receive such protection during the political situation, the first e-e torture, some combination of e-e human rights in kazakhstan, each of us was the first to provide legal and psychological assistance to victims of torture and human rights violations from kazakhstan the pentagon kathleen and the rulers w

in the region he wants to restore appears in the democratic republic of congo and burgundy have military contingent. they are also in the central african republic and in some l. m. in any case, we are willing to cook corporate with the russian federation with these matters as well regarding these merits as well. we need military equipment for the borough and in the army. and with that we will be able to ensure our military capabilities, as you know, we find terrorism and terrorism is not a national war regional problem. it is a global problem. so global solutions have to be found for it. that's the sort of the regional issues. as for global challenges, we've talked about, they need to re, for the security council of the united nations or organisation barone. the believes that african union stands has very important you know, that africa is the only continent in the world that has no representation among the permanent members of the security council. we are under represented among regular members of the security council. and i think it's unfair and he has historical injustice. we are excluded and won bill in 300000000 people. ha

all five central asian republics were met , of course, as it should be according to all the rules ofospitality, the appropriate protocol, the necessary ceremonial. as befits for such a dear guest, this guest can become. well, very expensive and everyone understands that. and what the hell is american diplomacy in its in a classic manifestation, the visit began with a visit to the national university of art, where blinkin, admired the eyebrow house, which he immediately announced on social networks, and already before departure. i even wrote a few sentences in kazakh. in general , a master class on how to please for an inexpensive price. but it's not expensive, everything is very deceptive, as with glass beads. replacement put scorched earth. and there is no need for any illusions that the american official is true. he came to listen to the dombra, he himself will sing from the dances. and the old song someone seriously thought that blinkin came to discuss the affairs of the regions at the final press conference of the summit, by the way, the united states central asia blinken uttered

addressed to me. uh yes, we were concerned about the uh situation that has developed in the central african republica result of extremist attacks on chinese workers killing. e nine of these workers. uh, the fact that there were parallel uh, riots in kenya, uh, but we are also not particularly surprised, because our western colleagues. uh, constantly uh, demand that african leaders from leaders of other countries follow their advice. and those who show some minimal independence, uh, get so side of the west various provocations. i do not rule out that i do not affirm, but i do not exclude that this was the case this time as well. and i said that i do not rule it out, because, well, there are situations that develop. in the economy in the social sphere, the objections of the population that cause protests, but in the vast majority of cases, the west seeks either to create such situations, or to use them in its own interests. that's why you ca n't even go to africa. and you can look at e, the european continent when a is in moldova obviously spurred on by the west, and all sorts of protesters were eleva

door to the french military, and a month earlier, on december 22, they finally left the central african republic at the request of the country's authorities, several thousand french military remain in nigeria chad , but even there their numbers. paris decided to cut back in favor of humanitarian missions. macron named. this is a new strategy for criticizing the recognition of the defeat of france in africa to be honest, we do not see the enthusiasm that we could expect in connection with the arrival of the french president, as it was, for example, 20 years ago, in the case of president jacques chirac, france's influence on the african continent continues to decline in the face of competition from countries such as russia and the chinese. just over a month ago, a russian minister made a traditional tour of the continent. lavrov among the countries he visited was angola, a longtime partner of moscow since soviet times, that is where the macron is heading now, the country has never been in the arbiter of french influence. this is a former portuguese colony, but rich in gold and diamonds that have a

central africa from march 1. during my visit to gabon. from where will the mongolian republic of the congo and the democratic republic of the congo come from, our military presence will only be part of you and the academy, which will be managed jointly with african personnel in accordance with the negotiations that i have had in the past few weeks with my colleagues and this transformation will begin in the coming months on the principle of joint construction. all visible reduction of our troops and at the same time with the increase of our african partners. on these bases, the macron promised to focus on educational and cultural programs to attract investment, but money in the amount of 40 million euros. so far, yes, so many french embassies in the countries of francophone africa have such an unheard-of goal to return the weakening influence of the fifth republic on the continent, especially in the former colonies, where they have already demonstrated their attitude towards the french leaders of malia burkina faso and completely terminated the agreement in the field of defens

in the situation that has developed in the central african republic as a result of attacks by extremists on chinese workers, nine of these workers have been killed. uh, what were parallel uh, riots in kenya, uh, but we are also not particularly surprised, because our western colleagues. uh, constantly u demand african leaders from leaders of other countries to follow their advice. and those who show some kind of minimal independence, uh, receive various provocations from the west. i do not rule out that i do not affirm, but i do not exclude that this was the case this time as well. sergey lavrov’s conference for everyone does not agree, the west has an international court that does not hesitate to set on those who are ready to speak with independent position. now the international criminal court is headed by, uh, the prosecutor, who is a naturalized anglo-saxon, i will say so, and who , of course, as we all could see, uh, fulfills orders, and their owners, who prohibit this body from investigating the crimes of nato member countries and set him on, but to look for far-fetched pretexts th

we were, uh , concerned about the situation that has developed in the central african republic as a resultt attacks on chinese workers and killings. e nine of these workers. uh, what was in parallel, uh, riots in kenya, uh. well, we are not particularly surprised either, because our western colleagues, but constantly demand from african leaders the leaders of other countries to follow their advice. and those who show some kind of minimal independence, uh, receive various provocations. i do not rule out that i do not say, but i do not exclude that this was the case, and this time the minister commented on the possible supply of british shells with combined uranium to kiev , according to the head of russian diplomacy. this is a significant escalation step. but did the west ever stop it. this is a step towards a further buildup of escalation, and a serious buildup of a qualitative buildup of escalation, er, a statement by some western representatives that there is nothing to worry about. eh, nothing is forbidden. e out discharge. uh, we don't break any conventions with depleted uranium muniti

had failed to protect civilians. unionization also had to withdraw peacekeepers from the central african republic pulling accusations of sexual exploitation and violence. we spoke to journalist a t o l. molly, who said that the you needs to be assess his mission to be effective. if we make this men an evaluation of international mission, and especially in africa for life, for example, like in congo, if an in doubtful or in a be a right right now we need for even mission in the area. but it's awfully pop in. there is a violation event, there is people to be in now they are running and they're not affect if next for that mission you in this event to protect 1000000000. and if you both for me to talk to molly before i'm working center africa and all the other parties country, there is no mission. i think they did. this is, there is a kind of, of the of the really is kind of the mission and they need to re assessment in terms of the technician to be more effective in terms of the international community to see exactly how, how far it's not enough to come up with the declaration, our resolution with t

uh, it seems to me that the third country - this is what is meant here, the central asian republics ora again took up arms. well, in principle, everything is there and the central asian is simple. well, probably lately it’s been more just the european union , most likely, it has paid more attention to the central asian countries, looked at the statistics, and, uh, from this, respectively, made it about the fact that the central asian countries help to circumvent sanctions and so on. no, this also applies to china. this is turkey, this applies to all countries; here the principle is simple, these are those countries that have not joined the anti-russian sanctions of such overwhelming majority. this there can be a country in africa, latin america and asia, and any, and, probably, you understand here, the problem lies in the fact that the eu members. well , yes, there are statistics, but they are not particularly supported by anything. or even if there is no such statistics, that is, uh, it starts to put pressure on third countries and say that here are the guys, if suddenly we find out t

specifically the russian military forces and in particular the wagner group, whether it be the central african republic or other countries, is a topic that concerns africans. a number of african countries opposed the anti-russian resolution during the voting in 141 countries voted against the un general assembly for the document on the termination of the special military operation in ukraine and the complete withdrawal of russian troops from its territory. africa is algeria angola burundi king of the congo equatorial guinea madagascar we pray zambik us without sudan senegal south africa south sudan uganda tanzania and zimbabwe eight more african countries, including cannes ethiopia and morocco did not vote at all. france and to a lesser extent great britain are trying to deny the reality the problem is not in russia and not in china the fact is that africans themselves understand better what is happening in the world and insist that their voice be heard in international politics, the former colonial powers, especially france maintain relations with the elites that they themselves created and now others

russian government, augment russian military forces and places in africa such as libya, central african republically to make money for his company and to spread russian fluence. the leaders of these countries, often strongmen, came to rely on him and his forces for their political security, so this was a way also for the kremlin to benefit withouteing directly involved. because of course they could say this is a private company run -- not run by the russian government. they were doing everythi for russia. in this current phase of their operations, before this he tried to stay under the radar, but not with the war in ukraine and the opportunity sent by russian military setbacks, he has come out into the fore and is challenging the military for influence. anchor: thank you for joining us. turning now to ukraine's northern neighbor, belarus, a russian ally. the nobel peace prize winner and has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. one of three winners of the 2020 nobel peace prize is the founder of the hum rights group which helped protesters during a wave of unrest in belarus during 2020. he was c

that has dramatically expanded from several thousand deployed somewhere in syria or in the central african republic tens of thousands of fighters with his own tanks and artillery. he is close personally. here's attacking the defense minister and the defense ministry, the second in it command. he is a very vocal political figure in russia, with his own private army fighting out there. and with connections in the kremlin. he is financing it. for him, it is high importance, to take over bakhmutt. for the defense ministry, they don't want him to take over ba khmut. because he is there political opponent. there's a lot of infighting on the russian side. >> when you look at this infighting happening, between the wagner group and the defense ministry, do you see that closing a problem -- posing a problem for russia? >> it goes without saying, you don't want a large martial army at odds with your army. russia has had a problem with command and leadership since day one of this war. the issue with bakhmut, what are they go if they take it? to the west, directly west, it's easier to defend. the two roads lead

we were , uh, concerned about the situation that has developed in the central african republic as a resultemist attacks on chinese workers and the killing of uh nine of these workers. uh, what was in parallel, uh, riots in kenya, uh. well, we also don't have much surprising, because our western colleagues, but constantly demand from african leaders the leaders of other countries to follow their advice. and those who show some kind of minimal independence, uh, receive various provocations from the west. i do not exclude that i do not approve, but i do not exclude that this was the case, and this time the minister commented on the possible supply of british shells, combined with uranium to kiev, according to the head of russian diplomacy. this is a significant escalation step. but did the west ever stop it. this is a step forward escalation, and a serious increase in quality.

personally i congratulate you on your unanimous election as chairman of the people's republic of china and chairman of the centralilitary council of the people's republic of china. today's historic event is another clear confirmation of the absolute trust of the chinese people and your colossal merits in the all-round development of china in the new era and the enhancement of its role in the international arena. i deeply believe that under your effective leadership, in line with the decision and the twentieth congress of the communist party of china, the country will achieve the second goal centuries of the great revival of the chinese nation and the building of a modernized socialist state. the belarusian leader also thanked the sidepin for the personal attention that the head of china pays to the all-weather and comprehensive strategic partnership with belarus. alexander lukashenko noted that our country sincerely appreciates friendship with china and confirms it. the readiness to make every effort to develop the whole range of relations between minsk and beijing invited the president of his chinese colleague t

they be checking in with the ukraine, whether it be the people's republic of georgia, we're now seeing more western intervention and the central a republic to check into khaki fan and you're good standing to stand. so i mean, but the fingerprint western governments are all over the protest. i can we read in the timing of the events that all? i do think you can look recently into the timing because we are just passing the one year anniversary of the special on military operation. we're bouncing president biden of visiting the of the war from their ukraine will feel facebook, air raid sirens going off. and it's at a time when we're seeing more and more people in the united states for america seeking to the fed from the amount of military support that is being sent to the ukraine. meaning, their european allies are also starting to question the amount of support and how long keep this war going. and i think that the more of that the conflict can be fomented on the russian border. and where within the stapleton, the orbit of russia, of the more they can make the case of they need to continue this money flowing into the ukraine at
