so william davidson, come to you 1st and ask you, why do you think this investigation has been launched? now? i think it's as a result of the continuing war, the continuing reports of atrocities and because of concerns that have been expressed that the investigation so far conducted by various organizations. but notably by the european human rights commission, autonomous institution of the federal government and the un human rights body. some concerns that that investigation was useful was rather limited in terms of the places that was able to conduct research and therefore didn't provide a thorough accounting, especially all some of the crimes that were committed alleged to be committed inside to grow by the soldiers era trans soldiers also forces from har region during the 1st phase of this war. and then as i mentioned, have been reports of continuing atrocities. and now, since july, the war has been concentrated outside of to grind primarily and i'm har, region and have been numerous reports including by amnesty, human rights watch and media and, and others about war crimes being com

i think this is going to happen, william davidson. what strings to the international powers have left now to play on, on sort of the different parties. and when you look at the, the role of the, a you specifically, how much political legitimacy does it have right now when it comes to, if you, i mean, unfortunately, i think, you know, this is complex. and the continuation of it is an indication of the lack of leverage that the international community has. there is no reason to think this is going to change simply because of the decision of the un human rights council. i think the approach that the federal government has taken from the outset of this war is to describe it as a domestic lower enforcement operation. therefore, trying to insulate itself from any outside interference that has continued throughout the war. in recent months we've seen a massive increase in campaigning about alleged external meddling with the so called no more campaign. this is all designed to prevent the sort of scrutiny. and so to leverage that outside part

so there is a massive concern that as well, william davidson, diplomatic efforts. so far, don't seem to be leading anywhere. the efforts led by the african union, the present of kenya we saw also was in ethiopia recently. what should the international community be doing right now to prevent ethiopia from, you know, from knowing the same scenario in the same situation as a gun is done as mom wanted. griffith has been warning, warning, the international community. so cold has been taking a different approach. i think that federal gains on the battlefield have been partly due to a intensified drone campaign with those drones coming from turkey, china with an rossi involvement. it's true that it's not to get that you mentioned have not been successful. the 2 main sides in this complex, so the federal government and take right leadership. they believe they are in an existential struggle. the federal government cost this as a bathroom here, survival take, right? leadership is about to for pick, right, and people's survival. so that is why it's been so difficult to shift

now, by william davidson, a senior ethiopia analyst with international crisis group. he was based for many years in ethiopia, and he joined just now from cambridge in the u. k. we have the kira forces, the t p l f se they are pulling back to take ride from neighboring regions. is this a turning point in the war? it's certainly a very important moment. i think it reflects the fact that the plan by the take the leadership to capture this and impose the transitional government or at least to take control of that, your booty, car door have proved unachievable and they've come under pressure from drone attacks is what is popular mobilization on the i'm hara and federal side. so definitely a significant moment and it will say the fact that they've made this explicit call presentation of hostility is also adjusted that positions in some important ways giving up immediately on the return of the territory and the west. and so now we have to see how the federal government respond. what does this retreat tell us, william about the relative strength of to grow and forces compared

so william davidson from the international crisis group. thank some war stories that from around the world. now, i started in turkey where the lira has rebounded after president rhetoric type heard one launched a series of policies to profit bailing. currency governments is promised to compensate. lira denominated bank account holders for drops and the value of the currency, which has st. drastic losses over recent weeks. japan has carried out the death penalty for the 1st time in 2 years. a 3 death row inmates were hanged on tuesday, had all been convicted of multiple murders, capital punishment as widespread, supported in japan, despite criticism from rights groups. after western troops withdrew from afghanistan, many governments halted shipments of humanitarian aid. now the countries economies in taxes and the taliban are unable to feed their own people with more than $20000000.00 afghans estimated to be at risk of malnutrition. the organisation eunice, half a step tend to fill the gap. they're getting delivered to those it need is a maj

you thank you so much for joining us, william davidson from the international crisis group. thank you. we'll take a look at some more stones making news around the world now. will start in south africa where the court has allowed former president jacob zoom to appeal a ruling that he must return to prison. the serving a 15 month sentence for contempt of court after refusing to testify the corruption inquiry was released from jail early to undergo surgery. german chancellor, olaf sholtes, and chinese president g should pig had discussed deepening bilateral ties during the 1st phone call. president g reportedly urged chancellor shows to explore new areas of cooperation such as clean energy and digital technology. china is germany biggest trading partner, the single most important market for the german car industry. philippines is still reading from the aftermath of last week's powerful typhoon. local officials, please for a japan and china and they would send generators, water and food typhoon. roy killed almost 400 people and displaced hundreds of thousands. the turkish lira

william davidson is the senior. if you're analyst at the international crisis group, he says there may be no nearer end in sight to the conflict in ethiopia. there is an risk of breaking up, but of course, you know to what extent that the social fabric is is damaged already is a question of debate. of course, if the conflict continues that will appraise play further pressure on the government, worse and existing divisions within society. and i think the big concern for march in griffin is for many, many europeans and, and all of us paying attention is that at the moment i'm the reason i real end in sight is conflict. what one thing we should note is that it was a very serious insurgency, counter insurgency. situation that has been growing and are mere region and the country's largest. but indeed, and that has been a civil war ongoing between the federal government and take great government for over a year. now, just in the last few days, you've seen the significant what looks like a potentially significant shift in

now the government says it's taken back the strategic important towns of jesse and compulsion, william davidson as a senior issue, pianos for the international crisis group. he produced this could be a pivotal period for the hopes of the to ground forces. the key thing to look for now, i think is what is the ability of the forces to maintain positions in the region? i think they would be in a very difficult position if they were forced to withdraw back to take right entirely. if the take right force is able to maintain position, then i'm har region where they beat on this offensive since july. and we will have to see if in the future they're able to regain some offensive capacity. they say this is tactical, they say they need some time to reorganize, re strategize and recover the other very significant thing here is the intensified drone capacity of the federal government and drones provided by china, by 30, by iran, facilitated by the united arab emirates. this is really hits the grand supply line, meant that they had to give up on those offensive ambition. especially for the to grind force is

i speak to william davidson who's the senior ethiopia analyst at the national crisis group. he joined just not from cambridge in the u. k. good to have with us again william. so the tpl, i've says that this withdraw from hata and a fall is strategic. it's aimed at piece. what do you make up that web? evidently, the grey forces suffered major setbacks on the battlefield and they've given up on their efforts to impose the transitional government given up on their efforts to try and control the main trade corridor teacher booty. and that's because of this increased drone capacity for the federal government, which damage the supply line. visual report said it's also the popular mobilization on the federal i'm. i'm hora side, that's what led to this withdrawal and the rethink by the great leadership. and it's part of doing so they are now explicitly calling presentation a possibility that does also involve a significant shift in negotiating position that no longer saying the territory in west and say great, that was taken over by him har. region need to be returned to take right b

william davidson is a senior. ethiopia, i'm listed international crisis group. he says this could be an opportunity for negotiations. evidently, the gray forces suffered major setbacks on the battlefield and they've given up on their efforts to impose a transitional government given up on their efforts to try and control the main trade corridor with your booty. and that's because of this increased drone capacity for the federal government, which damage the supply line. it's also the popular mobilization on the federal and i'm horace side. that's what's next to this withdrawal and the rethink to seek right leadership and it's part of doing so. they are now explicitly calling presentation of facilities that does also involve a significant shift in negotiating position and no longer saying the territory in west and take, right. that was taken over by him har region needs to be returned to take right before talks and say it's that they say that can be part of a piece process. so it does look like an opportunity for negotiations in any effort by the federal military

or william davidson is a c, d, e c o, p, or analyst for the international crisis group. he says, despite how the rebels are characterizing with jewels, it's clear on the back force of the moment. the key thing to look for now, i think is what is the ability of the tick forces to maintain positions in the region? i think they would be in a very difficult position if they were forced to withdraw back to take right entirely. if the great 4th is able to maintain position, then har region where they beat on this offensive since july. and we will have to see if in the future they able to regain some offensive capacity. they say this is tactical. they say they need some time to reorganize, re strategize and recover the other very significant thing. here is the intensified drone of the federal government and drones provided by china, by 30, by iran, facilitated by the united arab emirates. this is really hits the to grow and supply line and meant that they had to give up on those offensive ambition. police in the gambia of fire tear gas to disperse supporters of a losing preside
