Starting in the horn of africa and the grand renaissance down which is just become that much more controversial ethiopia has summoned the u. S. Ambassador of the President Donald Trump suggested egypt mind to blow up the dam its a 4 and a half 1000000000. 00 project aimed at pulling millions of ethiopians out of poverty but for egypt and sudan as well its been a source of contention for years well start with the support from ahmed. I want to just congratulate words of pride after brokering going to grima to between sudan and israel to normalize ties but President Donald Trumps next remarks suggested a new conflict in the mideast 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. Blow up their dam and they have to do something. They should have stopped it long before we started this in how do you let it get built and then you see. 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 opened a renaissance dam if you 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 trumps latest remarks drew a Quick Response from each open Prime Minister and the g. O. P. Has summoned my corrina the American Ambassador to 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 just 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 hes 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 its going to proceed with any sort of military action on that. Theyve made pretty clear that thats not what their priority is but thompson 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. Lets just pop us on the map here for a moment the ground or innocence dam which has been built on the blue nile in northern ethiopia the source of most of the niles water when you have sudan and egypt downstream of the dam worrying about how much water would be diverted ethiopia says the dam will produce power though that is essential for its Economic Growth paddy how hain is in washington for us this saturday paddy donald trump says a lot of stuff not all of it true not all of it backed by fact or actions but i guess what we see in a situation like this is the knock on effect the effect that it has on the other countries involved. Exactly and i think with the Washington Post has been keeping track of this and were well over 20000 outright lies from the u. S. President donald trump he just in that in talking in that oval office he talked about how theres been fighting between today and in israel and that he talked about egypt blowing up the dam and it is serious lets not forget when a u. S. President says Something Like that people across the globe take notice of that could be seen as giving egypt permission to go ahead and strike militarily that said it seems that egypt would be unlikely to do that because lets put it in a broader context i think every foreign leader across the globe is waiting to see what happens in the u. S. Election which is what 10 days away now. And then its not just the president even let say trump called up egypt and said go ahead and strike right now theyd have to worry about the u. S. Congress you ask gives an enormous amount of money to egypt the u. S. Congress has been sort of egypts been losing favor with many in the u. S. Congress because of its gross Human Rights Violations so its more than just the president saying go ahead and we know the president tried to use money as leverage we still dont know how much theyve taken away from ethiopian aid just in may they announced 230000000 for a Development Grant in september and the president said he was withdrawing some of that aid normally in a normal administration i could tell you how much theyve taken away because they have to Tell Congress but they havent done that so we know that they said that they were taking away from it the opi apparently not enough to encourage them back to the talks in the u. S. But again when the president speaks people do take it seriously but in the broader context of exactly where we are right now with the u. S. Election thats something to keep in mind context on this story from patty cohan in washington context which we always made thank you patty. Well donald trump made those remarks about that after announcing a u. S. Brokered deal for sudan and israel to start normalizing time palestinians theyre calling it another stab in the back sudans Transitional Government has agreed but it needs approval from the parliament and the parliament is yet to be formed this is all part of a broader deal which allows the lifting of u. S. Sanctions so thats foreign minister says the deal still has to be approved by that yet to be formed parliament before it can move forward who it development on little 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. Lets get more from him or can our correspondent in a cartoon on how the will of this will affect the economy of sudan. There were 2 announcements that were made by the us President Donald Trump yesterday the 1st which was more important to sudan was the issue of being delisted from the u. S. List of state sponsors of terrorism now sudans government says that that will give it a lot of economic benefit especially after the inflation rose to a record high of more than 200 last month and market prices have increased making a basic commodities unavoidable for many sudanese now weve seen due to the hard currency shortage which is the result of a lack of Foreign Trade between sudan and other countries weve seen that got the government of sudan the Transitional Government struggling to be able to pay for basic commodities such as wheat and fuel which resulted in long queues at bakeries and petrol stations and more frustrations among people now on the 21st of october there were protests people saying that the government should step up and improve the Economic Conditions that theyre living under and thats one of the reasons that or maybe the major reason why sudan announced it is normalizing ties with israel now while that 2nd an announcement was made the sudanese acting going to offer an offense that says that it is not a complete normalization but people here in sudan feel like theyve been taken advantage of they say that they were at a point of weakness due to the economy and that the government was forced to agree to the normalization because of its state of economy which has seen a lot of people suffering as a result amount maybe abraham in ramallah with more on the palestinian reaction. For palestinians normalization should only happen after that israel and its occupation of palestinian and at a land occupied in 967. 00 and this is why that there has been a wide condemnation by the palestinians including the palestinian president he should the statement saying that israel should abide by International Law and to stop your patient and that would lead to peace in the region this is why palestinians have been warning for years now god and the Arab Peace Initiative is going is not being respected because they are Peace Initiative this was adopted by the different at a countries at the arab league in 2002 states that normalization would only happen after the end of the occupation south indians see it as different parties in Different Countries in the world it giving israel 3 awards in 3 prize was. Ok patient continues was the 2nd and are expanding and lands are being confiscated the arab league itself has failed to its just healthy and draft resolution against normalization after the you wait we had signed this deal and palestinians have said that they worry that more countries are going to be following suit this is what happened when behind then join the u. A. E. In signing that already the station with the hay in the now saddam has announced sourcing the norm in a process for them they feel that they are i mean for palestinians they feel that theyve been left alone. And Irans Foreign Ministry is responding to this deal between iran and sudan and got a tweet here saying pay enough ransom close your eyes to the crimes against palestinians and youll be taken off the socalled terrorism blacklist obviously the list is as phony as the u. S. Fight against terrorism shameful this from Irans Foreign Ministry now. With more on that iranian reaction so they are really dismissing this as something that was prearranged and its very much in terms of somebody paid for something to get something in return in terms of iran sudan relationship its interesting to note that they were very close until 2016 every iranian president prior to the honey had paid a visit to khartoum and the previous president of sudan Omar Al Bashir had visited to iran twice there was a very strong relationship between the 2 countries they sever ties in 2016 and that had a lot to do with saudi arabia and irans relationship as well as sudans relationship with saudi arabia in january of 2016 in reaction to an execution that was carried out in saudi arabia of a shiite cleric the number of people stormed the Saudi Embassy in tehran and thats when the saudis withdrew their ambassador and sever ties and sudan followed suit at the same time and they havent had a relationship since then but historically theyve been very close and this fight the fact that over the past few years they havent had a relationship this will just be another events that will. Drive them further apart and make any kind of a reconciliation between the 2 countries that much more difficult. In the news ahead. We have had enough or we want a democratic and united libya an end to this bloodshed libyans react to the signing of a permanent cease fire with a report from misrata a city that suffered years of hardship and also the power of young people looking at why these voters in the United States could be crucial in deciding the president ial election and your sports news as well tiger woods bounces back the go faction from california with joe in the lead.

Got round 34 percent its not about us has our report. 6 days after guinea voted for the president Electoral Commission announced president alpha conde would continue on for a 3rd term in office of the. 82 year old home day one with nearly 60 percent of the voters according to full preliminary tally and though it still requires confirmation by the Constitutional Court. The announcement follows a week of violence in the capital conakry opposition supporters angry conde could run at all in munch the government how the referendum to change the constitution which allowed conde to run past his 2 term limit opponents say hes broken the law to hold on to power con days main rivals allude. Declared himself the winner on wednesday Electoral Commission seated he only won a 3rd of the vote. Now it is for all of us to fight to preserve to defend our victory and you know that it is threatened by conde who had no voters but had an army of fraudsters they have transformed the boat you expressed into another in favor of alpha conde we must not accept it. The government mobilized the army as opposition supporters flooded the streets. On day has manpower says 2010 instead of salute. We all the guinea reaches you f. T. G. Thats what getting wants if you have d. G. Is not elected guinea will not be calm. Come days decision to run for a 3rd term has sparked repeated protests over the past year and resulted in dozens of deaths the government has denied using heavy handed tactics and accused the opposition of causing chaos on friday the internet and international cooling was cut off across getting almost game guineas government faithful to his principle of preserving peace and social tranquility cannot allow this situation to take root we deplore the deaths and valves of their memory. All of them civilians and agents of the security forces. All the final tally has been announced the opposition a determined it will not be the final result they move into contains the outcome in the Constitutional Court shall about us out his era across a ill say is with us now professor of history and Political Science at Delaware State University in the United States good to have you with us or any surprise in this result for you given the influence and the control which alpha conde has no its not surprising its not surprising we as big telecom telegraphed for a long time that this was going to be. An election marred with all sorts of phone store and and funny goings on right now nobody really seemed to know exactly whats going on. They kind of intimate no Telephone Communication but the good news is that ecowas is undergoing the u. N. Is on that and i know theyve been in the current 3. Day lections so it must be talking. Finding ways to minimize the violence and thats really what is making the players unstable do you think that is going to take a last cia you for example will have enough influence that well if they had influence would probably would have had a situation where mr conde would sites say thats not what happens so it goes to the extent of the influence they only have so much however. I dont believe mr khan day d wants to. Superintend the worst situation where you have violence in you must see whats happening in nigeria you must see whats happening in cote divoire he knows that donna is going to have elections and it is in that sense that you might see some reason to compromise now whether compromise is going to be i believe thats what were discussing ok the possibly more likely outcome is that this goes to court what i report of a say the end of her report has that the opposition candidate may well look to the Constitutional Court again how well you want courts to be independent is that the case and guinea if no its not the case which is why eventually i believe that it is the all these groups including a u n ecowas who are on the ground and i also believe that the u. N. Is is involved are going to come up with some kind of agreement that might might keep conde in but make some you might make some concessions to the opposition now the opposition heard his cards when jello broke away and decided to stand they had agreed to boycott it and i think that was a judgment bad judgment on his for so maybe once the opposition gets together they reviewed for some concessions but my hunch is that mr conde is going to stay in there. For a bit and theres going to be some agreement there has to be some agreement because the alternative which is violence that is going on cannot be sustained is not sustainable just briefly across a remind me how long a president ial terms and getting im just thinking about the fact that already off the condoms change the constitution so he could get a 3rd. Or at least run for ted and hes 82 i think. Hes 82 so he could conceivably reign until 94 but i think that is an indication of the failure of leadership you know frankly across the continent where these older folks continue to want to stay in power but you know the story of getting you understand for the longest time it was. He went away and then it became a. Contest contest states for the longest line and then he die and conde came and hes been there since 2010 and now you might be there for another 2 or ready. So but i did a long running stay in power by a big man is what hes relying on and
