e famously won the nobel peace prize for making you said eritrea that p steals. now being looked upon with more suspicion, given our trias involvement in the conflict. and that was where things began to fall apart when a lot of the, the rhetoric around the law and order operation as, as abbe called, it integrate, was very racial and veering tools. hate speech. we were very slow to pick up on that because this was a nobel peace prize where the halo surrounding abbe protected him even when it was very clearly genocidal rhetoric. and i think we really have to ask ourselves what getting those kind of prizes bequeathed upon us. how it distorts our ability to except that actually yes, this person may have the ultimate weston stamp of approval, but he's falling short for his country for his people and for the continent ah on degrees now where a routine press conference turned into headline news after showdown, between a journalist and a prime minister at the podium may not walk us through what happened in athens. it started with a question on refugees and migration from

him, samuel gesture, he is in 8th european journalists and joins me now from addis ababa, samuel eritrea. as we was saying earlier, and got very involved in this conflict. early on now the u. e. can you talk us through the foreign involvement that we're seeing here on the side of the government? well, the job and government through its prime minister has been saying that they're working, or they're willing to work with friendly nations. he has said the friendly nations that he has been referring to you as a turkey being one that has provided the drones that have been you know, striking different targets and, and to gray in mckelly to be exact. but again, you're burnside seems to want to work with. ready new friendly nations make you a, but again, the u. s. which has been a partner in the field, has been, we do, the relationship has been reduced to a historic low this our at the u. s. embassy, there is a public protest. hundreds, if not thousands of people are gathering to protest against the byte, an administration which the government has said. even the people in the main stream argumen

what would it mean for the rest of the region, for somalia and eritrea?eans more refugees would be heading to neighboring countries. there will be famine. it will be a breakup of relationships from countries that could really have benefits. the benefit, the relationship between ethiopia is always seen as helping ethiopia all the time, but the benefit has to be two ways forward. there has to be a way to understand the cited ethiopia, the side of tplf and bring these partners to a peaceful negotiation. that would be beneficial not only to if you'll be a and neighboring -- ethiopia and neighboring nations but europe, which will be getting migrants. >> let's thank our guests for joining us. william, samuel. thank you for watching. you can see the show again any time by visiting our website. head over to our facebook page for further discussion.

eritrea is a costal country and it enjoys commerce on all of the high seas and if it participates inthe options. some have suggested all the options. some have suggested a no—fly zone and that obviously exposes american forces to much greater risk than doing something in one of the worlds many oceans. the us special envoy is in ethiopia tonight. international efforts to halt the fighting so far have completely failed. what are you hoping they could achieve? fix, hoping they could achieve? a cease—fire i did not heal your question that clearly. he has some technical difficulties but a cease—fire would be so beneficial to all the parties involved and in agreements to allow the food shipments in is so critical. and all parties have some pain here and a un human rights commissioner has issued a report in the last 2a hours saying there has been atrocities on all sides but seeing the vast majority of those atrocities have been committed by the ethiopian government and eritrean government thatis government and eritrean government that is interfering in a civil war that is interfering in a ci

what's your message not just to ethiopia, eritrea, and also the to grow and rebel movement, but also the neighboring countries as well. when it comes to trying to take some of the temperature out of this conflict. what i think is really important and the international community can really commit to do as much as possible as they have been. try until now to try to bring peace to try to produce a situation where dialogue is possible to, to look what could be the incentive incentive for both sides of the old site. to be able to stop this terrible conflict and terrible and devastating impact. so, so many families and so many victims and be able to stop once for all the hostilities and, and, and bring peace. because what big things to want is to be able to leave again in a normal way to get back their livelihoods, their, what, everything they have lost. and of course, they want also to the, everybody to acknowledge their personal disability on this conflict. and that trust could come and they could have justice and reparation. michelle, virtually many thanks for joining us from the you an

true, he's an ethiopian journalist and joins us now live from the capital. samuel, we obviously know eritrea got involved in this conflict very early on and now seemingly to you a just what do we know about foreign involvement that's taking place on the side of the governance where the prime minister has been saying that he's willing to work with the nation, he has been supporting some of the reforms, so by minutes of the giggle, they provided fun when the job was running for export incense. and this is no surprise, but you'll be receiving support from the so called family nation, including turkey, that provided military assistance, visit the country. this came up as a prime minister business key, which is one of the biggest 4 in the country and trying military agreements with the president of kian. this is, most of the time you obviously seen a huge recruitment drive as well. and between the call to defend the capital adis and the round ups we've been hearing about have to brian's what's the situation like in the capital at the moment? what about or say there be a movement of young people t
