Disputed region theyre accusing each other of shelling residential areas. Of the sport as japan dives into its olympic preparations i think its Swimming Pool its a late take campaigns next year. If your p. R. Has some of the u. S. Ambassador after President Donald Trump suggested that egypt might blow up its ground running a sounds down the 4500000000. 00 project is aimed at pulling millions of ethiopians out of poverty but it has been a source of contention with egypt and sudan for years muhammad ali has more i want to just congratulate words of pride after brokering an agreement between sudan and israel to normalize ties but President Donald Trumps next 3 mocked. Suggested a new conflict in the media africa region its a very dangerous situation because egypt is not going to be able to live that way and theyll end up blowing up to them and i said it they said loud and clear dont blow up that dam and they have to do something because they could have stopped it they should have stopped it long before we started i said how do you let it get built and then you see them. Trump preceded those words with actions he ordered aid for ethiopia to be stopped over its failure to respect a u. S. Brokered agreement with egypt and sudan over the ground each open renaissance dam if yo peer began to fill the dams reservoir in july provoking anger in egypt with u. S. President a close ally to egypts of the fatah. He was asked to intervene as a peace broker. But each open ever appeared at ease with thompson mediation and accused him of favoring egypt tromps latest remarks drew a Quick Response from each open Prime Minister and the g. O. P. Has summoned my corrina the American Ambassador to the suburbs in protest occasional statements of belligerent threats to have ethiopia succumb to unfair terms still abound these threats and affronts to ethiopian sovereignty are misguided unproductive and clear violations of International Law ethiopia will not cave into aggressions of any kind these are obviously pretty outrageous comments from from the president and suggest that hes not really in touch with the reality on the ground the idea of conflict to so this dispute over the nile has always been and very far fetched ultimately hugely counterproductive and it could lead to some sort of regional conflagration while toms comments may have offended each o. P. M. Pleased egypt few appear to be taking the threat of conflict or military action seriously its unclear exactly what his motivation is i think part of it actually is vanity i think easy is pretty annoyed that the ethiopians. Withdrew from the talks unilaterally refused to show up to washington for what was meant to be the last round of talks i dont think that there is a serious risk that egypt is going to proceed with any sort of military action on that. Theyve made pretty clear that thats not what their priority is what types of statements are likely to push the crisis over ethiopias in a dump back into the spotlight and warn both sides that a failure to reach a solution could be dangerous divide our desire. Ok i want to bring up a map just to show you the kind of region were talking about as we heard the grand nacelles dam has been built on the blue nile now its the source of most of the rivers nialls water egypt and sudan downstream are worried about how much its going to be diverted ethiopia says the dam is going to produce power thats essential for its Economic Growth ok lets go to particle hane in washington now Patty America the u. S. Has been trying to act as a mediator in these talks is not been working a statement has been trying his best but clearly its getting nowhere and then we get this comment from donald trump how is this being read in washington. Well its not quite frankly with the election what 10 days away its really not getting a whole lot of play most Foreign Policy doesnt especially when it comes to this president because he does tend to say these rather inflammatory things he often in if you can think of several examples over the past 4 years where he threatens military action does it come about that said it could raise concern because it could be seen as giving egypt permission the u. S. Permission to go ahead and take military action but again this is 10 days from the election i think most Foreign Countries are really waiting to see what happens keep in mind that donald trump is far behind in the polls and were seeing a record amount of voter turn out most of the polls d most of the pundits predicting that trump could lose so any action by Foreign Government it seems the that would be foolhardy at this point considering he might not be in the office come january 20th and the other consideration for anyone considering military action is congress egypt has already fallen out of favor with many members of congress because of their human rights record and various other things so even though the trouble ministration likes to say that has this great relationship with egypt its relationship with the u. S. Congress is not quite as solid and dont Forget Congress controls who gets what money when it comes to ethiopia the president has tried the financial basically the financial stick he said he was going to withdraw all Financial Aid from them and usual its unusual because theyre supposed to Tell Congress exactly how much aid theyre taking back but they really havent made clear exactly what programs theyre cutting how much theyre cutting but theyve already tried the financial the stick so now the president possibly trying to move this along with the threat of military action but again its 10 days to the election and nobody knows whats going to happen. Thanks very much indeed thats particle here in the live for us and washington d. C. Well donald trump made those remarks about the damage after announcing a u. S. Brokered deal for sudan and israel to start normalizing ties sudans transition government has agreed to it but its going to need approval from the countrys parliament and that is yet to be formed as part of a broader deal that allows the lifting of u. S. Sanctions the palestinians are calling it another stab in the back well were going to speak more about that with the need to enable him shortly shes in the occupied west bank have a morgan is standing by in sudans capital khartoum and also her body is going to give us the reaction from israels fierce with general rival iran 1st alan fishers report from washington i want to just gradually you know from the oval Office Another part of u. S. President Donald Trumps middle east peace plan falls into place even if he isnt submerged in the detail but we did sudan and wanted to do it here and there was a particularly nice because they essentially better war with israel for. A long time i dont know if it was fighting i dont know that but probably theres been a little the trumpet ministration says its a deal years in the making its involved secretary of state might pompey or flying to sudan and israels Prime Minister making an official visit. To dan has agreed to pay 335000000. 00 in compensation to victims of the 1908 east africa u. S. Embassy bombings the attack on the u. S. Call in yemen in 2000 and the family of a murdered u. S. Diplomat thats cleared the way for sudan to be removed from the list of nations the u. S. Considers state sponsors of terrorism and that puts israel in place to establish formal relations there was no relationship whatsoever to names Peace Agreement will enhance security and engineers malaysian Nation Congress now has 45. 00 days to consider Donald Trumps decision it could block it but that seems unlikely if it goes through sanctions on sudan will be removed and that clears the way for increased trade. Sudan is the 3rd out of country to normalize relations with israel in recent months bahrain and the United Arab Emirates signed the Abraham Accords at a white house ceremony last month palestinians see the decision by the government in khartoum is another step in the back describes it as political sin because geishas from sudan and israel will meet soon to discuss cooperation in many fields agriculture trade and other issues of importance to our citizens sudan skies are today open to israel it allows direct and shorter flights between israel africa and southern america. This announcement serves the Zionist Occupation and its expanding policy in the region for sure it only serves trumps Election Campaign and netanyahu own political conflicts donald trump has clearly decided small individual deals in the middle east will change the reality on the ground rather than try and feel for the normally compassing peace package like previous president s he says 5 more countries are ready to join in he believes these deals protect america reduce the chance of expensive bloody foreign wars and helps his reelection efforts alan fischer aljazeera at the White House Well sudans diplomatic moves have largely been dictated by one main concern the perilous state of its economy for nearly 3 decades u. S. Sanctions have had devastating effects and blocked it from International Banking the Transitional Government inherited needing 60000000000. 00 in Foreign Debts when it came to power last year access to loans from the i. M. F. And world bank have been contingent on sudans removal from washingtons list of states that sponsor terrorism even so sudan still owes the i. M. F. 1300000000 dollars last month inflation hit a record of more than 200 percent well lets go live now to hit morgan in khartoum just talk us through what this deal is likely to mean for sudan. Well rob lets remember that there are 2 deals that are here in front of the sudanese the 1st being not more of a deal but more of a step taken by the u. S. President don trump in terms of notifying congress that the country can be lifted off the list or should be lifted off the list of u. S. State sponsors of terrorism now that means that once this is completed or once that step is completed the country would be able to attract Foreign Investors and the country can deal with Foreign Countries and interact with them in terms of trade and Industry Development so that more hard currency can flow in and that is very crucial to sudans economy because the shortage of hard currency meant that the government had difficulty importing weeds and fuel to items that its hugely subsidizes and that has been facing severe shortages that led to long queues in front of bakeries and petrol stations now the actually minister of finance said that the impact of sudan being delisted of the u. S. List of state sponsors of terrorism will not be immediate but will take a few months and that this would be a way for sudan to be able to receive a debt relief more than 60000000000. 00 in debt mostly from the previous government and thats something they say that they would be able to clear once saddam is officially delisted as well as be able to get loans from the International Monetary fund and the world bank thats something that sudan has been looking forward to since this Transitional Government came to power in august now the other deal which is the normalization of ties between sudan and israel while the 2 countries were not a tourist sudan in my 967 is the country where the arab league match and came up with the renos no to peace not to normalization not to negotiation and not a recognition of israel and the acting minister foreign minister said that this deal between sudan and israel is not a complete normalization but rather steps pending parliament. On the pull bit its a long process that requires a lot of work so this is an agreement to normalize that took place between sudan and israel. And we are now waiting for the completion of the Democratic Institutions through the formation of the Legislative Council so that it can decide to ratify this agreement and if that happens then we will begin the steps towards normalization now the countrys transitional its labor simply has not to be formed and this is expected to happen in the coming weeks it was initially supposed to happen in november last year but it was delayed due to negotiations between the Transitional Government and various armed groups that negotiations have ended in a peace deal that was signed in october and those armed groups are going to be coming to her to negotiate forming that Transitional Legislative Assembly but the biggest concern is how Political Parties especially the Ruling Coalition which is a coalition of various Political Parties with various ideologies will react to this announcement of steps of normalization most of them have been very quiet but a few prominent ones like the almost party came out with a statement and to reject the move taken by the Transitional Government because its not a mandated or elected government but rather a Transitional Government that is leading sudan to democracy thats what morgan brings up to date from khartoum lets go to the need for him and shes in ramallah so it was inspiring spring to say that the sudanese foreign minister is saying that it is essentially saying that these are steps towards normalization pending a ratification by a parliament thats not even in place yet but the palestinians are already saying that this is as they call it a stab in the back what has the reaction been there. For palestinians normalization should only happen after that israel and its occupation of palestinian and at a land a coupon a 967. 00 and this is why there has been a wide condemnation by the palestinians including the palestinians president he should the statement saying that israel should abide by International Law and the occupation and that would lead to peace in the region this is why palestinians have been warning for years now that the Arab Peace Initiative is going is not being respected because the Arab Peace Initiative this was adopted by the the current set of countries at the arab league in 2002 states that normal aviation would only happen after the end of the occupation of palestinian see it as a different horses in Different Countries in the world it giving israel 3 awards and preach prize while. Ok patient continues while the settlements are expanding and lands are being come to skate that the arab league itself. Has failed to its just false to me and draft resolution against normalization after the you wait we had signed this deal and palestinians of said that they worry that more countries are going to be following suit this is whats happened with behind then join the u. A. E. In signing that and run a nation deal with the hay and announce a down has announced so i think the norm in a process for them they feel that theyre i mean for palestinians they feel that theyve been left alone and weve spoken to a couple of political analysts they say that whole thing in fact are literally against the wall right now. For example there is a very bad political economy situation and its one of the worst that the Palestinian Authority is facing but also because theyre losing a lot of regional so forth and Political Support in the region and thats why many analysts believe that pauls now can only hope that trump would not get a 2nd term in office as for palestinians weve seen a lot of them going on social media saying that they know that they should the people are with them but they are being dragged into this by. This need to thank you very much less need to abraham bring us up to date from of ramallah well heres how Irans Foreign Ministry responded to sudan agreeing to a deal with israel quote pay enough or on some clothes or rise to the crimes against palestinians then youll be taken off the socalled terrorism blacklist obviously the list is as phony as the u. S. Fight against terrorism shameful dozens of bodies in clearly very strong words there from iran. Yes just highlights the fact that iran is no longer a very close ally of sudan and that goes back to 2016 and theres a very specific reason and that has a lot to do with saudi arabia and irans relationship with saudi arabia what happened in 2016 was that there was a shia cleric who was executed in saudi arabia at that point there was a number of protests outside the Saudi Embassy here in tehran and the embassy was ransacked by those protesters thats when the saudis to remove their diplomats recalled their diplomats from tehran and it severed all diplomatic ties with iran and sudan was one of the countries that followed suit along with saudi arabia after that happened and since then iran has not had any kind of diplomatic relationship with sudan but prior to that they were very very close there was a point where the former president of sudan Omar Al Bashir a visit to iran twice and every reigning president prior to the current one has some rouhani visited khartoum to strengthen ties be
