do you still think that the african union and igad are the two best mechanisms? t: it is unfair to say that the african union does not have the capacity to intervene. in places where the african union has not intervened, it is probably because they did not take interest in the country, but not because they didn't have capacity. as a matter of fact, they have a mandate. they have capacity. they have intervened in conflicts before, some election-related, others that are related to other factors including cross-border conflict. and they continue to do so. igad has played a role in terms of the negotiations in the continent. for me, one of the questions i ask myself is, what do we define as leverage in the conversation? leverage is the ability to understand the terrain around around sudan. leverage is the ability to understand geopolitics around sudan. to have access into sudan without being treated as an opponent. end of the fourth and more critical factor in this conversation, is that leverage is the ability to be that person is not seen to be a contender in this co

actually say that in this has to be an african thing and perhaps the african union is the strongest, particularly if it can offer a peacekeeping mission. are you confident that the african union can play that role? or do you think it does need to have a wider international role? the u. k. russia, china, america, the united arab emirates, for example. it's, it's actually, i think they deal allowing and, and, and inviting you to be bothered solutions in africa and going with the model and programs of solutions is, is ever, is a normal and wonderful idea. i have to be frank, can say, i'm very skeptical about the possibilities of a, your ego actually being able to play any mediation when i do one of those that you got to that is how i stay in the game. as these countries are going to be affected on, they are affected right now. oh, i have sickening of more than $200000.00 offices and it's sentences and it's refusing to know how there would be going thousands going to be an added prices. if you be as more than $300.00 refugees giving it to them, they might be going back. so we, we don't un

do you still think that the african union eguard, these are the 2 best mechanisms off to hearing those 2 opinions. and i think that will allow me to point out that it is very unfair to figure the african union does not have combust to intervene into conflict in the places in the continent where the african union has not intervened. it has been probably did not interest in their country, but because they can talk about it. as a matter of fact, they have a mandate, they have capacity, they have the ability to intervene, be having to be called before time election related other but television to other folks including will continue to do so i'm going to be eager. hasn't quite come rolling inventory been there in dealing with deaf m trying for me. one of the sort of asking myself, what do we define? breaking point. but we should get the beginning of the time, the terrain around around dance. leave the founder geopolitics. around around to leverage the ability to include down and being treated as i'm opponent. and for me, the fulton was critical fucking disciplines, which is what i want to r

do you still think that the african union he got these are the 2 best mechanisms off the hearing. those 2 opinions, i think 1st of all, i need to point out that speech is vague and fib sooner. the african union doesn't know, talk about the, to intervene in this conflict in the place to the continent where the african union has not intervene. is because they probably do not take interest in their country, but not because they can talk about 16. as a matter of fact, they have a mandate. they have capacity to have the biggest thing to be having to be conflicts before donald eviction deleted others. but the other factors, including both because the continued to do so, i'm going to be eager to hasn't completed quite some rollings and been something that was be sure that a bunch of notes in the cartridge, those will just, i'm trying to use for me one of the sort of asking myself is, what do we define our lead ranging this conversation is a big change with the upfront stop at the time that you're going around around that you're going to just the biggest one is funded. you kicked around ar

and we've also been hearing a lot about the african union. do you think of those 2 organizations, those to the, the real players hit? or is it going to be something like the united nations or, and even broad international coalition to actually kind of bring peace to sit on. and thank you very much for helping me with this conversation. indeed, i think those 2 up to a little bit brought team some of the key up to the conversation, of course led by a sounds of done. i meant to do this because spoke about the strategic position was obviously done. but also the fact that folks have done convince onto done the full blind or finding individual or some of them sheet. so this quality piece to be able to have in the interest of end of the conflict and also the interest of driving things best done was some form of isolation. diagnostic tell you when you, initially i think where you had the money to parents born, you see. but now, as of the africa, you know, the tough police interview at the nation any time when these need to secure the interest of citiz

the african union has - countries? it is notjust the g7. the african union has been - countries? african union has been invited to be part of the g20, which is like the g7. that is recognition of the influence of africa economically. it is systemic in the sense of the huge growth potential and the growing population, as well as vast natural resources. these are going to really be the key elements in the growth of the global economy in the future. it is the recognition of this that the north and the south want deeper independence and it is welcome. you are speaking to me from ottawa, you are speaking to me from ottawa, you are there to try and strengthen africa's trade links with canada, which is a member of the g7. but what is the focus of your message to them? what is it that you want from canada and its g7 partners? what them? what is it that you want from canada and its g7 partners? what we want exactly. — canada and its g7 partners? what we want exactly, africa _ canada and its g7 partners? what we want exactly, africa is _ canada and its g7 partners? what we want exactly, afr

there were left charles mets of the chat post and of the african union commission. most of the key mamma. how much yesterday. and that he announced that he supports gemini supports the african union to get a seat at the g 20 the group of logic economies. and he said that he had many tools and he felt that there was broad support for that. also among other nations. and that would mean a huge step for african countries, because with decades they've been trying to get more international representation. also, for example, at the un security council, but the 2 powers always blocks it. so with 55 member stays, the african union represents the interests of roughly 1400000000 people on the continent. so that would mean a huge step full for african countries because also in terms of topics like climate change, for example, where african countries are directly impacted of course of the talk and talking points of what i've shoals. and if you, if you where, for example, also helping them, if you'll get the open government, how to move towards transitional justice after the war a

that is what the african union have been trying to do. ou recall, a day after the outbreak of this fighting, on the 16th of april, the security council of the african union convened an emergency meeting on the same day the intergovernmental authority on development also convened a heads-up state extraordinary meeting, exactly to take leadership, but also to press on the two sides into submitting to a secession of hostilities i . i think there is so much that they can do, in terms of the labor that they have to bear on the two sides. so it is important, therefore, for these countries. since they can't by themselves with whatever they have -- it is not enough to induce the parties to coming to a cessation of hostilities. what is required is to enlist the support and leverage of others within the region, but also beyond the region. that is why the rule of countries such as those -- that is why the role of countries such as the u.s. becomes so important. it is important to recall that during the transition process, the trilateral mechanism inv

having established the african continental free trade area, the next stage is to move it towards an african customs unione we have done that, then we are creating the conditions for policy harmonisation, macroeconomic policy convergence. at that stage, africa should really be able to speak very strongly with one voice on all global economic issues. well, on that point, ambassador albert muchanga, the african union trade commissioner, a real pleasure having you on the show, albert. good luck with everything. i need all the luck. thank you. i'll check in with you soon. thank you. 0k, ok, let's change tact now. did you know, the number of cyber attacks is at a record high? some of the most high profile recent attacks, they've been linked to russia as it uses its sophisticated tech weapons against ukraine. just this month, the fbi and some of its global partners said they stopped a major piece of russian software that was attacking companies all around the world. it all means that business leaders are more worried than ever about their cybersecurity. so i caught up with the big boss of cyberark. it's the us—

a german chancellor, all of salts has back to the african union's bid to join the g. 20 group of major economies as he continues his 3 day visit to east africa. schultz travels in ethiopia on thursday for talks with government and african union officials and audi suburban mex. he's heading to kenya, germany's biggest trading partner in the region. so let's take a closer look at our left schultz. this trip so far here at audi, some of the airport german chancellor oil schultz started to 2nd trip to africa since taking office. ethiopia is the 2nd most populous country in africa, but it faces many problems. the modern fist, not the chance lucy's on his driving to the city center is deceptive. ethiopia has gone from being a role model to a struggling nation with many people, barely making ends meet. inflation has sort to nearly 40 percent. survival is a daily struggle. all my children are educated, they are unemployed. i only earned about 10 euros every month. i've had my own shop for a year. during that time, the products have become more and more expensive because of inflation. i hardly

the open union with its single market, its freedom of movement and its strong political institutions. countries in africa, south east asia, latin america and the caribbean has embarked on a similar path with the african union, bayesian macros tour see luck, and other organizations. we as you pin sort of them, are unique experience and caused support. that's what i did in my meetings with the african union in just a big a last week and other shooter paternity to bring about a new relationship between europe and the global self. as the transition drops, renewable energy within 2 dictates will be living in the solar wind and hydrogen powered world for many countries in africa, asia and the america which where once the importance of false site energy, this creates an enormous opportunity to boost their own carbon free industrial development and in some cases even become energy exports us. this success lice in our very own interest of the old one key less than from process of war against you. cream is what we have to avoid. one sided that we have to avoid one side of dependencies and diversify all energy supply. for that countries in the global south must have access to the technology and the capital that

unilateralism on the continent has passed, africans have the freedom inability to resolve their own problems. both did acknowledge that russia will continue cooperating with the african union and will provide efforts to bring some malia to its feet via security a. we will be bringing you more updates throughout the day. a in the us has sounded the alarm about a meeting between a top you and children's representative and the russian inspector for children's rights, claiming it shouldn't have gone ahead. as the latter is warranted by the international criminal court, a legal body which washington itself is at odds with archie is caleb map and explorers washington's to rule approach to the i c. c. when it comes to itself versus other states of the un, special representative who overseas children in armed conflict, recently met with the russian official whose job it is to protect the rights of children. makes sense right now the objective is to make sure that amid the ongoing more all the children affected are provided with the proper protections and services. now, who could possibly object to that? well, the united states for one year deeply concerned that a senior un diploma

not despite us by the african union by our partners. unfortunately they chose the path of war not the integration. at various points in these toxins october and onward we have seen intentions fight between these two generals. our partners with the citizens we were able to tamp things down and get them back too the tabler that was not successful april 15. that said, throughout this. we haven't warning american citizens not to travel to sudan. and strengthening our own internal procedures should again.get violent it is a tragedy yet again. will have be broader but that is weok are burden but seems to mee need to have a process. that uses our intelligence and the state department is pretty good. better than some of her other intelligence agencies. red tagged or red team some of our presumptions. it cannot work and everything that's when bill rosie's thing. and then hope it will turn out that way. nonetheless check the other availabilities to think through what is the process of consequences that don't work out as you expire for it to? i am

it is the african union. s the advantages of having, interests, regional similarities , and the countries have more understanding. but also, i must say, there is an absence of the international community not only in stopping or providing a statement, but in ensuring the rates of those who want to migrate. where -- those who had their passports triggered. those who are seeking refugees or they have the ability to, but they are not getting any response from these countries. not being conflicting, but it was not the same scenario that happened in ukraine where all the international community has stepped in. but there's a huge absence in the sudanese war that i cannot call a civilian work, as the rsf at this moment routing houses, killing and raping. this will continue, unless there is immediate action and interventions from parties that are trusted and familiar to both parties of the rsf and the army. thank you. mohammed: fsllis, asleel, was talking about lack of trust, but you need more effective actors involved

and this limits his access to the african union. i don't know what this has to do with, i asked some of our diplomats. we look for such an unfortunate coincidence of circumstances from the candidature, then we find that she cannot go for some reason, but definitely this is, let's say, a minus for us, but i'm saying there are pluses. for example, in indonesia, our ambassador vasyl hamyanin he speaks the indonesian language perfectly , and it's not the right way to say it. do you know a few words for plizer ah he yes he was present at the conference i was there exactly on february 24 this year on the anniversary he held a conference organized by the ukrainian embassy in one of the foreign policy centers and the ambassador himself came out and said let us speak english here let's communicate in indonesian in the beautiful language, he conducted the entire conference , we were translated into english, by the way, he did one more interesting thing here, which i want to mention, because i will even say it. yes, i was there on february 24.

the international community, african union, united nations, everyone, should support the call by thestop this growing and dreadful crisis. thank you, mr deputy speaker, and can i thank the ministerfor thank you, mr deputy speaker, and can i thank the minister for advance sight of his statement? can i also echo the thanks that men and women of the armed forces and other staff involved in the evacuations of uk nationals, as well as those from other countries who immediately stepped up to the plate to evacuate uk citizens along with their own nationals at the start of this escalation of the conflict. yet, mr deputy speaker, this is developing into a full—blown humanitarian crisis with hundreds of thousands of people being displaced with acute food, water and medicinal shortages occurring, and likely to get worse. agencies on the ground who have humanitarian please programmes will need to pivot quickly. so what assistance is the uk government giving to those individual agencies. can the minister give us some details? i didn�*t hear a response from the labourfront details? i didn�*t hear

leadership and being the 2 sides to the, you know, to the piece that were indeed that is what the african union gonna have been trying to do if you recall just a day after the outbreak of this fighting on the 16th of every the peace and security concert of the communion convened an emergency station on the same day, the inter governmental authority on development got the region and body also convened a state extraordinary meeting exactly to take leadership, but also to process on the 2 sites into some meeting to a cessation of hostilities. i think there is so much that they can do in terms of the labor that they have to bear on the 2 sides. so it is important therefore, for these countries, since they can buy themselves or whatever they have is not enough to induce the parties into coming to a cessation of hostilities. what the question therefore to in least the support and leverage all others? you know, we did that again, but also beyond that, that's why the role of countries such as those in the gulf of the way becomes so important. and it's important to record that during the transition proc

researcher at the arab center for research and policy studies and the former spokesperson for the african union. in virginia, etana dinka, assistant professor at james madison university, focusing on the political history of ethiopia and africa. a warm welcome to each of you. this is going to put ethiopia in a difficult position. it was not that long ago that there was going to be movement on the issues between the two countries, between ethiopia and sudan, particularly when it came to the border dispute, but that has now gone out the window. where does ethiopia landed on this? >> to answer the question, we have to put the situation in context, in international and regional context. the ongoing war between the sudan armed forces and the rapid support forces has been basically managed by the united states. the crisis is being hardly managed by washington, which is trying to pull the parties to the conflict back to the negotiation table. the washington insists it is going to compete with china and russia and batson today and is a strategic point that we cannot afford to lose and it has many other

just the african union's monitoring mission is playing, and i will say, back on sudan, we are working with the african union on what we hope will be a large support in convening function that they will play if we can get to these larger talks that we talked about. these initial elements are beginning to show to bear fruit. obviously, we've got continuing difficulties with some parts of sudan, with ethiopia, we've got to ensure that the government in a pew ethiopia continues to fulfill the commitment of unhindered access to humanitarian actors for accountability, and it continues to meet the commitment for real justice, that journalists have safe access, we continue to see good conversations with other constituent cohorts of ethiopia, that's what we are working on. we appreciate the support of all of that. >> thank you. i think we are all incredibly disappointed that the hopes for democracy in sudan have been hijacked here. can we share the goal of possibly getting it back on track, we should look at some of the lessons that arrived and happened the way we wanted in the first time. tha

with the start of negotiations between the parties involved in the capital of saudi arabia, the african union , in a statement, asked the two sides to agree on the fire to allow aid to civilians the african union has announced and is closely following the process of negotiations in jeddah. bloomberg wrote on his website that syria's return to the arab league is a sign of washington's decline in nowruz in west asia. with this decision , washington's allies in the region they are seeking to establish stronger strategic relations with america's enemies, and victory is for iran and russia . they supported bashar al- assad militarily. forest in western canada, the evacuation of the residents of the areas involved in this crisis has accelerated . only in the province of alberta, 107 fires have been reported in forests and grasslands, and in the neighboring province of columbia, two cases of forest fires have gone out of control and local they predict that strong winds will increase the intensity of the fires in the coming days. so far, 30,000 residents of western canada have left their homes becaus

several thousand peacekeepers and a number of peacekeeping operations carried out by the african union in the respective regions spoke about the development of ties between russia and the african union here, as we all understand , the second russia- africa summit, which will be held at the end of july in st. petersburg, will be of particular importance. uh, expect those decisions that are prepared by these low friends. serious hopes are also attached to this, as if to promote the development of practical interaction and the development of our interaction in the international arena, where africa is absolutely justified in showing its intentions to become a real full-fledged center, a step forward in the emerging multipolar world order. in this direction should the problem of the security council, as we have said more than once, lies in the excessive representation of the western state, out of the 15 current members, six represent the united states and its allies. and, of course, this injustice must be eliminated by accepting representatives of asia, latin america and africa into the sec

i mean, what about the african union african countries? shouldn't they be doing more to intervene of stopped discomfort from spending across the board is absolutely. i think that's a really great question. you know, what we saw has, in the past decade or so, has been the rise of this logan, an african solutions. bradford and problems we see here is who they are, how the african union, the african states had been completely silent and be seamless throughout recent conflicts. any v o, b a and other issues across east africa. and so i think you're absolutely right. it's really falling on saudi arabia in the united states. and there hasn't been a real indication that that the major decision makers in both solid and the us are taking, messing up very seriously. the army us side of the national security advisor j sullivan visited starting radio a couple of days ago. and there was no indication that they really spoke about sudan, all the events and things starting ready be ups. ready or the help that they gave, evacuated us citizens. and so i thin

it has not been sanctioned in the way that it was sanctioned by the african union. but the conditions are similar. and then i'm going to station in china, so they're either lead to what china china can do, but all the same within those limits. i think it's important to bring in a because if you don't been getting on the neighboring countries, they receive that. then exclusion would leave a vacuum that me easily be ex, exploited, or you know, to undermine a magic effort to bring peace. and i see the fighting in have to, well, let me bring in, let me bring in, remind you now from angela from actually is there a limited role that chad can play because of this transition that i guess not as i was talking about. i think that and so we the connection, but i, i think as make what he just said, jed can play alone and let us the call him to fuck that. just before d r d sock jenny, fighting in 9, sudan, ah, child received a se obsessively to visit our 1st from edward on himself and the day after from our mit, meaning in a way that to, for the village of, and actually fighting

and so dad, how the african union, the african states had been completely silent. nbc and this throughout recent conflicts and e, b o, b, a, and other issues across east africa. it's really falling on saudi arabia in the united states. and there hasn't been a real indication that that the major decision makers in both solid and the us are taking this thing a very seriously the on the west side of the national security advisor, jake sullivan visited starting radio a couple of days ago. and there was no indication that they really spoke about sudan, all their events and things starting ready be up. ready or the help that they gave evacuated us citizens. and so i think that were really missing the key leadership for both a solid e m. a us side to make this a cease fire stick as well. the conflict into them has put the lives of millions of children at risk, thousands of escape, but many more are still trapped in the escalating violence. but you ins, children's agency, says the closure of schools as also effective in mental health and wellbeing and says the country is f
