how she fights the violence and tries to build a different somalia today?ave suffered for 22 years, losing thousands of some of thessing worst things that could happen to a human being. [indiscernible] and attacked by terrorists killed 20 innocent people. we are sorry for what has happened sunday and for what happened yesterday in boston. >> how did you convince the al- shabab, the young men who kidnapped you, dr. hawa abdi, to but toy release you issue an apology for kidnapping you? his, -- letterote an apology [indiscernible] what the society want, he has to obey. they open with the somali society once. they wrote an apology letter to me. not only me. doctors without borders, a doctor was working with me. they destroy their offices. the wrote them an apology letter also. they wrote three apology ventures. >> to view of the on the states from somalia, what is the attitude toward the united states of simoleons? i think [indiscernible] inside somalia, there is no security, not enough education or food. every year is drought. we're losing thousands of lives,

is not a routine thing in somalia. of the problem. this is a country that had 20 years of dictatorship from the 1980s. no real culture of parliamentary debate and dialogue and then 20 years of state collapse. so we're really dealing with somali political figures that have no history, no culture of the give and take of parliamentary debate. >> there's a guy in one just wailing on somebody with a cane, intending to do some real harm. >> i've seen more effective fighting in other places. this was really haphazard, but it was quite dangerous because of the way they were using chairs and sticks. i mean someone could have gotten killed. >> peacekeepers are eventually allowed into somalia in 2007. and as a result, fighting among somali insurgents increases. >> we've got a very serious political crisis on our hands, and it has triggered the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. 3.8 million somalis are in immediate need of humanitarian assistance. 1.8 million displaced because of fighting. u.n. considers somalia the worst hum

somalia, there's a lot of efforts to stabilize the country. in mali we're hoping to have more and more returns there. many know that the french went into the country to try to stabilize and work with the people on the ground to get them to go home. i think the first thing is to be a political solution, that is what we aim for and what we encourage our executive committee, which is membership of many many, countries from all over the world encourage political solutions. our high commission is vocal on that front. political issues are number one then we try to make sure we maintain a welcoming environment where the refugees will be long term. unfortunately, there are many refugees in long term situations. we have refugees inside syria. there's still a lot of people who cannot go home. hopefully, as the international communities provides support inside the country with conflicts, afghanistan is another country. it is still the largest refugee population in the world. afghans are all over the world and they are in pakistan and iran. many are in eu

in refugee camps on the border of kenya and somalia. i wanted to share with you the inspiration behind our colleagues. and ever i get a chance to people, i want to make sure i share what it's like to work in the field in the inspiration that i have an all the people working in the field have. not long ago, i met a syrian dr. who recently came back from a clinic in syria. when he was outside the clinic he saw a woman leaning her head against the building or he went to talk to her and asked what are you doing and she said her child was inside. so he went inside, met with the doctors and said the child was fine and stable and he went back outside and said please go home. your child will be home, get some rest. she said tonight before, her husband passed away and she had nowhere else to go. that this was her home. he could not move her from the building. like these move myself and all of us working in the refugee field every day. i still think about that woman. i have kids myself and i know a lot of people working for our organization are h

one thing they discussed was how to combat sexual violence in places like somalia. britain says it wants to fund somali security forces, some of whom are accused of raping women. >> the fresh sea breeze feels like change, but the somali people are facing a mountain of problems. the combination of fighting has left over 1 million people displaced. there are more than 500 camps like this one where people eat out of existence in hostile conditions. the united nations says women are for melbourne -- are vulnerable. many attacks are thought to be carried out by members of the security forces >> it is done by men in uniform. it could be militia. 70% of rape has been done by armed groups. >> he came into my tent in the middle of the night. he had a gun and threatened to shoot me if i resisted. many women are reluctant to speak out. apart from stigma, there is also fear. some have been threatened. others have been arrested. mogadishu is becoming more livable. not so long ago, a place like this would have been emptying itself out in preparation for a long, scary night ahead,

the use of mercenaries use of special operations forces cruise missile strikes proxy warlords in somalia so it's all very very dirty right now and while people pale. a lot of attention to drones right now this is really full spectrum and so i wanted to try to tell this whole story of all the players that operate in the sort of shadows of this new world and of course the effect of these wars is kind of facilitating this anti-american sentiment this hostility toward american interests and and this country causing blowback i mean it seems i said an obvious concept yet when you go on the corporate media it's ridiculed i mean they literally do ridicule and scoff the idea just like when you're on m s n b c n. do you really believe this i mean why is it that this obvious reality is either framed as friends or completely omitted from the discussion i mean part of it is because we you know we don't have a lot of journalists that are going to these countries and talking to the people who have been declared as enemies by the united states government i mean what i found when i went to be on province

the use of mercenaries use of special operations forces cruise missile strikes proxy war lords in somalia so it's all very very dirty right now and while people pay a lot of attention to drones right now this is really full spectrum and so i want to try to tell this whole story of all the players that operate in the sort of shadows of this new world and of course the effect of these wars is kind of facilitating this anti-american sentiment this hostility toward american interests and and this country causing blowback i mean it seems like such an obvious concept yet when you go on the corporate media it's ridiculed i mean they literally do ridicule and scoffed the idea just like when you're on m s n b c n. do you really believe this i mean why is it that this obvious reality is either framed as friends or completely omitted from the discussion and i mean part of it is because we you know we don't have a lot of journalists that are going to these countries and talking to the people who have been declared as enemies by the united states government i mean what i. when i went to press in yemen

. >> to that point, 130 million bucks of that aid went -- just basically vanished in somalia and the thing is, there are no social security increases. there is minimal, maybe 1 or 2%. we criticize people about getting food stamps, budget cuts going on from the sequester. why not say let's take another look at foreign aid, especially to countries that hate us and really are attacking us. go ahead. >> i understand the frustration and i mean, we've been just so upset in our household about this whole boston thing. it's tempting to say -- to sort of throw your hands up, decides the world hates you and pull back. i just think it's the wrong target right now. i think to have them shut down the efforts we makeverseas, we don't know, by the way, how much more they would hate us if we weren't giving any foreign aid and how much influence we would lose if we cut that program off. to gary b's point, we give more foreign aid to the world than any other country. if you look at it with our gdp, it's lower than what some european countries give. i think it's the wrong answer. >> neil: i hear you. j

and in somalia al-shabaab launches an attack for almost two years. the polls have closed, and the votes are being counted in venezuela's presidential election. it has been a tightly fought contest between the acting president and the opposition president. official results are expected in the next few hours. turnout is reported to be higher in what some venezuelans are saying is the most important election in years. the next leader will determine the direction of the country. we have leaders following both candidates in caracas. real and who is up a strong hold on january 23. at the stronghold on january 23. why are you in an area called january 23? >> this is the heart of hugo chavez's legacy and his socialist revolution, and that means it is now the base of maduro. we could be hearing results fairly soon, and events are developing fast. nicholas is about three blocks from where i am matt in a military museum region where i am matt in a military museum. he is with top aides right now waiting for election results. we saw his care of them of armored ve

>> well, i guess in comparison to somalia, you know, obviously, the parents who then went back to somaliaere fleeing and trying to put that behind them. in the case of the brothers in boston, it seem toss be an example of what is called being a re-vert. a re-vert is somebody who has grown up in a muslim family and reverts to a much more fundamentalist into his life. that may have been informed by the chechen struggle, as well. many people revert without necessarily going down the line. but that is a necessary precondition to get to that point. the kinds of things that is we've heard about the older brother, his political religious views. we've seen this pattern before. and, unfortunately, you know, it produced this result. >> we're hearing more now from the uncle who is in the united states who talks about this misha character who may have been an influence on the older brother. a lot remains unclear about a, how believable this uncle is. but if there was sort of this character here, that is obviously something law enforcement wants to look into. how do we figure out the motive? that's re

i come back to a number who have ended up going back to somalia. the first suicide bombing was actually by an american in somalia. what did we learn from those cases in terms of how they became radicalized that might apply to this? are there any lessons to learn? >> i guess the first lesson in comparison to the somalis is obviously the parents of these somali americans who then went back to america, their parents were fleeing somalia and were trying to put that behind them. in the case of the somali americans, all of them found identity with the somali americans. in the case of the bombings in boston, it's a case of a revert. it's someone who grows up and reverts to a much more fundamentalist way of islam. that may have been informed by the chechen struggle, as well. many people revert without necessarily going down the line. but that is a necessary precondition to get to that point. the kinds of things that is we've heard about the older brother, his political religious views. we've seen this pattern before. and, unfortunately, you know, it produc

and you're going to tell me countries did not ratify the document right indeed these countries are somalia and the united states is not too often you get somalia in the united states in the same sentence together but that's not true and it's bit disturbing indeed our i don't even a question of i'm not the last we've heard of this going to see today we'll be talking to you soon. well you are watching r t a live from moscow back with more news in just a. it's good to have you with us here on our sushi live in moscow in exactly well now less than twenty four hours i should say venezuelans start voting for a new leader for the presidential election triggered of course by the death of chavez last month that will determine the course of one of the most oil rich nations in the world. campaign and again that is way less chooses the president chavez choice runs against a free market poster boy for possible venezuela choose after coming down. that is where the votes. well the presidential campaign is over with allegations of conspiracies that dominate the race and while the still piling up in the la

you're going to tell me countries did not ratify the document right indeed and these countries are somalia and the united states it's not too often you get somalia in the united states in the same sentence together but that's true. but over in the program i spoke to alexei pushkov the head of the foreign affairs committee in the russian lower house of parliament and he describes ultimately what lies ahead for the relationship now between russia and the united states. the irony of all of this is that to my mind president obama has become hostage to this list has become hostage to the n.t. russian elements in the u.s. congress because basically obama needs a cooperation with russia. on career it is a collaboration on iran and so many other regional and global issues in his corporation if he wants to make progress in the cuts. nuclear armaments and so on but by having signed this law and by having enlarged the list he has become a hostage to the very negative dynamic in the relationship and so i seeing that is like shooting oneself in the leg so i don't really see the rational for this from t

and the united states somalia the united states and in a culture of thank you stephen cohen a professorof russian studies and history at n.y.u. says the diplomatic fallout is due to the incompetency of some members of the u.s. congress. obama did not want the magnitsky act it was imposed on him by the american congress and by a congress that included his own political party the democratic party the act by congress was of course provoked by aggressive voting forces in the united states congress is itself is not russophobia it's just uninformed it knows almost nothing about russia most members of congress have no understanding of the international affairs or national security and when loftiest bring pressure on the majority members of congress you end up with a bill like this if it's changed and poison the atmosphere it's going to make it harder for example. president obama to make concessions on let's say missile defense to president clinton because there is this attitude that russia doesn't deserve any concessions and i'm guessing that if president putin would like to modify his positio

and the united states somalia and the united states has been a culture of thank you. good relations with moscow are important to washington but the obama administration can't stop the tide of so-called russophobia among u.s. lawmakers according to alexei pushkov the head of the foreign affairs committee in russia's lower house of parliament. the irony of all of this is that to my mind president obama has become hostage to this list has become hostage to the anti russian elements in the u.s. congress because basically obama needs a global ration was russia can is a corporation in theory it is a corporation and they run on so many other regional and global issues that he's going to ration if he wants to make progress in the cuts. nuclear armaments and so on but by having signed this law is like shooting oneself in the leg so i don't really see the russian oil for this from the point of view of obama administration which claims to be an administration that is paying attention to multilateralism to international partnerships well i can say that by having enlarged the list

united nations signed off and ratified this document but there were two left of to write two countries somalia and the united states somalia and the united states and in a culture about thank you for some more perspective on this i'm joined by professor stephen cohen a russian studies and history expert new york university thanks very much for joining us here on r t so to what extent do you think this tit for tat exchange will affect relations between moscow and washington. it's already effected relations it's created a very bad atmosphere political atmosphere in washington with the mcnair ski act you now have institutionalized by an act of congress. a kind of prejudicial russia that is going to continue it won't be possible to end the ski act in moscow it's made the russian political class in which president putin operates even more any in there would be more resentful toward american policy and the list that been published this week it really did begin some people here are saying well it's very moderate only names on it we don't know who's and he was on the secret list goes on on the america

i discovered a cia base at the airport in mogadishu, somalia and that american interrogators are using an underground prison where they're interrogating suspected members of al shabaab or other targets. and under the obama administration, renditions have continued. one man was snatched off the streets of nairobi and sent to this secret prison in the basement of mogadishu's airport. this should be a scandal. obama said he ended these things, yet he is continuing them but by proxy. there has been tweaks to the machine. but in general, a lot of the policies that many generals were outraged about under bush have continued under obama, just with a rebranding. >> let me ask this question of emma. i want to reread a statement from the kremlin about the aftermath of boston. the russian and u.s. president have agreed by telephone to increase cooperation on counterterrorism following the boston marathon bombings. the kremlin said on saturday both sides underline their interest 234 deepening the close cooperation of the russian and u.s. special services in the fight against international terroris

another would be the somalias we've had literally dozen somali americans travel to fight in the somaliivil war. these are kids who grew up in the united states very much like the two brothers we're discussing now who events in somalia began to be very important for them. in fact, we had the first american suicide bomber was in fact a somali american who traveled to somalia to engage in the somali civil war. so you'd be looking at what was the subject matter of this kind of website they were looking at, were they on the jihadi forum? were they in communication of people outside the united states by e-mail, for instance. >> what does that mean then in the context of bha they decided to do last night robbing a convenience store, seemingly going up to this m.i.t. security officer, sean collor, 26 years old for no reason and taking his life. how do you put that into any sense of plan or organization? >> well, i think you're applying completely rational standards to this situation. and these people while they're probably certainly not psychotic, very few terrorists are psychotic, that tends

we have air strikes in somalia. there was an operation that happened in the philippines.ed on drones. what i'm more concerned about is the expansion of admiral william mcraven forces from the special operations command. president obama has empowered them more than any president in history, this sort of dark ops force has become the centerpiece for obama's strategy. they are a setting up liaison offices around the world. we know everything about the bin laden raid. we know everything about the dog and guns used. there were 20,000 raids like that that year in afghanistan and other countries that we know almost nothing about. i think our future is going to be looking at cruise missile strikes, covert operations, raids that we probably won't know about an drone strikes are one part of it but i think we make a mistake in focusing too much on drones because this is a full spectrum war that's being waged by the obama administration. >> jeremy scahill, thank you so much. the book is "dirty wars." the film are be out june 7th. >> with a cameo by you guys. >> there you go. >> i can

there's now been three cases of american committing suicide in somalia.ou have americans committing suicide overseas in a way kind of a big barrier is breached. we saw british citizens conduct suicide operations overseas, and then we saw them attack in london in 2005. and i think one of the questions for investigators here is the extent to which these two brothers went into this knowing that they would die. you know, in a way, they were able to extend this series of attacks by not conducting a conventional suicide operation. in a sense like the mumbai attacks where the attackers went in knowing that eventually they would die. but spreading out the whole event over three days. i think that's the kind of thing that we've seen in boston, anderson. >> it is interesting, chris lawrence earlier reporting, talking to people on the campus where the younger suspect went to school, saying that he was seen on campus over the last several days. even at the gym working out. and certainly seems that they planned out this bombing if, in fact, they are the ones who perpe

in somalia at least 22 people, including nine attackers died when islamic militants stormed the mainmic group linked to al-qaida is claiming responsibility for the attack. investigators say militants dressed in somali uniforms entered the main building and started to shoot at the security guards before the bombs were detonated. >> >> in peru, 30 people died when a bus tumbled down a hundred foot cliff many the accident happened yesterday. investigators say 43 people were seated on the bus, but many others were standing in the aisle. it's not clear what caused the driver to lose control, but it is thought that heavy rain may have played a part. >> >> in europe, an international manhunt is underway for a convicted armed robber who says he models his crimes after the movies like "heat." >> he spent 10 years in prison after he was caught and convicted for a series of armoured truck heists and robberies in the late 1990s. he was returned to prison for a patrol violation when police thought he was between a 2010 robbery in which a police womb was killed. >> >> music industry mourning the d

that hijackings off the coast of somalia back in 2009. new report out, the total cost of maritime piracy to the global economy last year, the number it comes up with is about $6 billion. our next guest can speak about this. you have been on some of these ships when the pirates came on board. what is that like? >> well, thank you for having me, first of all. i wanted to experience firsthand what it was like out there to be able to understand the business dynamics and can we penetrate this market. we were attacked. of the times. no pirates got on board, thank goodness. it really gave me a perspective of how difficult it is and really what we need to protect our clients interest. connell: as i said in the introduction, this is a big money story. there is a lot of commerce and risks. the other thing that was in that report is the projection there will be an 84% the client and piracy. that must be something that you and people like you are doing right. what has changed in terms of how we are securing these ships and keeping them safe? >> i thi

the democratic republic of congo, sudan, and somalia. ase countries are classified such and include cambodia, myanmar, and nepal. samoa, solomon islands, and haiti are all classed as obese he's. -- lcd's. think you very much for joining us. what do you make of this world bank plan to eradicate extreme ?roperty -- poverty .> i think you are right it causes a lot of damage. i do not have much faith in the world bank being able to achieve, because the goal is very ambitious. number two is that the world bank and its sister institution, the imf, i do not think their strategy for poverty eradication will work. .hey are not new installations , their strategy is deeply flawed. >> let's look at what their strategy is. investments are key in creating towth, from gender equality equality among all social classes. what is it that you think doesn't work in their policy? >> to put my finger on it, it is what they don't talk about. they have had a comfortable relationship. how does a country guarantee equality in my view, it is through democracy. care

i am from somalia and i did the war in syria i like a war. just like i'm going to see my friends on my. my name is to show. i came here because i want for my children to live in peace and to be killed russian citizens. ones are somehow all coming to. leave here because why all. my name is it or not to come back to the lovely country window would we. my name is osama. i'm planning to stay in russia. to build a new life. until just a year ago would never have thought of leaving damascus and building a new house in a small village in a tiny republican russia and the land of his ancestors when war broke out in the caucasus one hundred fifty years ago his grandfather and hundreds of thousands of a dog is. sent to turkey jordan syria and other countries in the middle east now war has brought a twist of fate. to return to his ancestral home. but i prefer to kim here because i believe the big. you may be in the coming twenty s. not now. many syrians came to this village in search of peace and other local people helping rebuild the house. the house is

kenyan troops have been fighting the rebel group in somalia since october. six political prisoners have been released from sue don -- the sudan. most of those freed were held that try torence topple the sudanese leader. >> the reaction has been pretty cautious. one of the opposition leaders has described this as a step in the right direction, while one of the rebel leaders has dismissed it as old milk in new bottles. the question everyone is waiting to see answered is how is the government defining political detainees -- they said they would release them all, but that doesn't -- does that mean fighters andue the rebels who say they have hundreds of people detained by the government? what has happened today is a lot more questions are waiting to be answered. the leader of hamas has been reelected for another four years and a new law will separate school boys and girls at an earlier age in the hamas-ruled gaza strip. male teachers will also be barred from teaching in female schools. a fire at a muslim school in myanmar's largest city yangon has killed 13 child

somalia was sort of a forgotten place in the situation was really critical. so the irish government was a little bit afraid. i went to somalia with the then foreign minister and it was actually david andrews. it was a visit that mocked me in a way that it was very difficult to see these long lines of people waiting for food at feeding stations in seeing dead children in the arms of their parents because they hadn't gotten there soon enough and the food was prevented from getting to the feeding stations and also the injuries from the fighting that was going on. i did manage to meet and speak with both of the warlords and neck at the time accused me of -- i didn't wag my finger and try to say this is not acceptable. the food must get to people so they can survive and then i went to new york to the then secretary general of united nations boutros-ghali to draw attention to the situation. he thanked me for years and years and every time i meet him ahead of the state from europe came in raise the situation in somalia and how that have been useful for his services.

i did a correlation in his book where it is being used in pakistan and afghanistan, somalia, yemen, the kurds in eastern turkey, even in the feeling -- the philippines with the tory it. >> what impact is that having on those communities? --it is devastating those it those communities. these are impoverished communities. they are in isolation and a are already being hammered by their own central government. the army is looking for al qaeda, looking for terrorists, picking up people, torturing. then you have the suicide bombers also in these communities. then you have the drone as a final straw. >> for example, in era of the drone war, what is it like? >> it is your help. and there have been recent studies by new york university, stanford university, the united nations, which confirmed a complete trauma that is being experienced by the young and that women particularly. and large sections of these populations have escaped and are living destitutes in neighboring towns. >> they can see the drones, hear them? >> bayh your them buzzing around all the time. -- they hear them buzzing around al

[laughter] they delivered two million bananas to the starving folks in somalia. they go from being perceived as terrorists into being great liberators. >> but they never know. they have no idea that any of this is happening all the way through. that is sort of how we got going. a lot of times when people write books, novels, and i do not want to get to inside baseball, but they have what is called a plot. [laughter] we did not really have that. [laughter] it was improvisational novel writing or neither one of his new with the other was going to send. there really was you could never change it. you had to go with it. our motive was almost entirely revenge. oh, ok, i see what you give me here, mr. funny man. you get this. >> that was like having a deranged pen pal. ted kosinski was writing to me, ok. i would see this chapter. i would have no knowledge whatsoever how he would have reacted to what i had just sent him a few days before. our only goal was to react and to advance the "plot." i would read it, and i would go, oh, man, what am i going to do with this? abou

the heart wrenchingly vulnerable, steely malala, who had not even been born when hillary spoke in somalia. how dare the taliban and take away my basic right to education? hillary rodham clinton spoke truth to power, but she did not leave it that. she has worked to recast the conversation in both work and deed. so often she was working unseen, and private, individual groups of women in the world's most challenging places. she strode into the senate, the ultimate old boys' club. one of the finest minds of the 12th century. [laughter] as america secretary of state, she made women's rights and therefore human rights a central focus. not an afterthought, not a sidebar, but central. she issued directive to all embassies of the strategic imperative of advancing women's equality. she said it so well in 2011, when we liberate the economic potential of women, we elevate the economic performance of nations and the world. definitively refrained at the whole conversation about the advancement of women. first establish that women's rights are human rights, then explain that unshackling women is just go
