What . You must understand that the 2 great people are at risk, both internally and externally, eritrea on one hand and Ethiopian Forces on all sides. This move was pure, a selfdefense measure small countries when they feel the risk of a stronger enemy which is about to destroy them. They often carry out a preemptive strike like this one. Where the fighting has since escalated dramatically, the government and the t. P. S. Are reportedly now trading rocket fire. And the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission is now investigating reports of massacres and ethnic profiling. Both sides are being accused of atrocities against civilians. Well hear from the Human Rights Commission in just a moment, but 1st here is aljazeera. As mohammed abdul, we 14 from the border of the cheek grave reaching this country. I mean, its not the 1st time were seeing a pile of ethnic clashes or violence based on ethnicity. And if you actually, even before the operation began, it was an alarming rate. Something that has led to the displacement of more than 2000000, people in the past 2 years. But we are seeing a new level of the problem given the huge amount of hate speech and incitement on forceful media. But also, organizations like the european Human Rights Commission are talking about people being targeted just because of the absolutely office. Also of the commission say they visited some prisoners in in prison. And that they fled their complaint that there was only arrested because of which they community they would communicate. They heard from all the killings in my cobra has shocked the nation to the whole show is a Senior Adviser in spokesperson for the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission.

In the meantime as well, weve continued to receive information from certain parts of the country from people who facing discrimination in exclusion on account of their ethnicity. Weve visited police stations, weve spoken to people who are being detained there. And we are monitoring these claims very cosy. In the meantime, the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission is calling for due care to avoid the risk of ethnic profiling and in discrimination. The allegations are very, very serious, and thats why we are deploying, deploying a team to gather the facts. Were also, weve also made recommend, were also making recommendations in order to safeguard lives. In the point were making is its a, its a vital that there is a swift delivery of humanitarian assistance in services. And for this reason, the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission is calling for a prompt creation of a humanitarian assistance desk at the level of the federal government that enable the provision of humanitarian assistance. We also call for the necessary support to be given to the red cross because there are allegations that some of their vehicles have been shot at.

Some set fire to their homes, left reports from camp. They came for a last pilgrimage. Very soon, the monastery of that event will be off limits to armenians nestled in a mountain gorge and killed by john a district west of the unclever corner. Thats about to be returned to her. But german, russian peacekeepers are already here giving people a sense of safety, a final prayer, one more memory, a little souvenir to take back home. Theres an overwhelming sense of defeat among her mean years, often too difficult to express. Stopping the war was the right thing, but not like this. Its unfair, but we have to do it. It was an equal fight. The eyes of the world are wide open, but the world preferred oil and gold instead of justice and they sacrificed us, even though as they were journey has promised to save god historical and religious sites. Many fear they will be disagreed. It is still crossed as to tear. For centuries is now being dismantled along the road. And megs it is towards armenia. People who were given only 6 days to pack belongings accumulated over a lifetime are fleeing among them retreating armenian forces. And while they head out, russian peacekeepers are being deployed in kill. But many people are not intent on leaving behind what they have built up over the past 3 decades. Their sense of despair couldnt be bored, clear smoke billowing from their homes, that theyve purposely set on fire. The memories of lifetimes in ashes about 5000. 00 Ethnic Armenians lived here. Theres barely any one left village after village deserted. If you still remaining are preparing to leave soon. Its history that repeats itself. Somehow, these are the ruins of the house of an azeri family. Many others lived in this area, and they had to leave when azerbaijan lost the 1st kind of a whore in the early 1990, s. And armenia occupied this region back then hundreds of thousands of a series, which is staffed of the under 7 surrounding districts. But some, i mean, is like several men at 2nd yan also had to relocate. And now hes doing so again, were not leaving, were being thrown out as a bludgeon expelled us with this war. Painful, i was insta penikett fighting. When i heard about the ceasefire, i didnt think about it, but it turns out that ive been displaced once more. Im going to armenia, but i have no place thrown onto the street. As we head out, an orange globe brightens the night. More houses set ablaze and no one around. I mean in presence here is truly over. This is the story of a capital, a ship, a departure with no date of return. But they still hope that one day they will come back, put up at home, eat aljazeera, killed by john, and Al Jazeera Osama bin javid is in the as a very capital back. How he explains a peace deal and what it means for civilians. As the deal is being signed between the armenians, the a very independent of the russians, the turks will not be present inside nagornokarabakh. The turks will be part of the peacekeeping centers, but will be established close to the line of control the line of actual contact. And that is where they will be based. Many of these details are still emerging. How many will they be . What will be their remit . What can they do . What will happen if they find something which is not in accordance with what others by john or the armenians want . So a lot of that is being thrashed out the other even the armenians are not take directly talking to each other and they talking to each other while intermediaries. So yes, it is slowly unfolding as we speak. What we know is deadline is that this 3 surrounding areas around the going to karbala, have to be vacated by armenian forces, have to be handed over to azerbaijan. Russian peacekeepers are going to come in. And then the other by joining forces are going to take control of their borders when there is a curfew that has been implemented in the areas that have been taken by the azerbaijani forces. The Police Forces for the last 28 years, who are stationed on this side of the divide have been asked to come, and so it is going to slowly unfold. And i asked one of the generals of the other by the only military that what will it take to build trust between these 2 sides . And he stopped paused and he said in a word, tight, rival factions in libya have agreed to hold nationwide elections in december of next year. It was announced that u. N. Sponsored talks in tunis, delegates are negotiating the appointment of an interim Government Military representatives have also been meeting in shirt in central libya. Theyre discussing the implementation of a cease fire deal signed last month. Mali traina has more from the libyan city of misrata. Now we just heard that the head of the high council of state called initially welcomed the date set for elections. But i think a lot of libyans here are also skeptical that elections can actually take place. We saw elections the polity. Elections take place here in misrata in september, others over 35 minutes, the polities scheduled to hold elections in western libya before the end of the year. But as far as national elections, theres, a lot of skepticism as in terms of if they can take place. Now the u. N. The u. N. Has, has said that this is a breakthrough. But also what, what the libyans have discussed so far is the general general kind of general issues coming up, for instance, you know, to stop the bloodshed, to unify all the state institutions to hold elections. But what theyre discussing now is appointing a new government and president ial council. And this is where things are likely to get a little bit more a visit. Because in western libya, theyre seen as a war criminal. He has failed military campaign, cause over 125000 homes have been destroyed. Hundreds of thousands were displaced, many died in the fighting. So any government that is seen to be pro, have to or might be refused here in western libya and vice versa. Any, any government thats seen as prob western libya might be refused by eastern libya. So really the next day or 2 is as is really going to tell us whether or not the u. N. Sponsored talks will be able to come out with a real political solution in libya.

It was announced that u. N. Sponsored talks in chinnis, delegates and go sharing the appointment of an interim government the and now supporters of u. S. President donald trump, have gathered in washington d. C. In whats being called a 1000000 magnum oche, a staging its the white house in a display of support for trumps effort to stay in power counter. Protesters have also turned out to meet them while trump him self drove out to wave to the crowds. Its been exactly one week now since joe biden was declared, the u. S. President elect. Yet donald trump, so has been conceded as speak to jordan in washington d. C. So ross one week on and donald trump still refusing to concede where, where do the things stand as far as the legal challenges and how is this much socalled 1000000 magnum, odd, shaping up today . Well, its not a 1000000 people really more of a few 1000 people. Its a very nice day here in washington. So why not spend it outside . But what you have seen is a few 1000 people, a few blocks away at freedom plaza. That is where the president drove past in his motorcade on his way to his golf course in northern virginia. And that was in the last 90 minutes or so. But what you have are people who are walking on the street just below our vantage point, who are taunting the people who are opposed to donald trump. There have been a couple of minor scuffles. The local police have broken them up. And for the most part, its been relatively peaceful now. As for donald trump and his legal challenges against the vote in the battleground states. Well, 2 of those efforts were abandoned on friday, one by the trunk campaign, an hour zona. The other, a judge in michigan throwing out the case. Theres still an effort underway on the federal level by the Trump Campaign to challenge the vote in pennsylvania. But apparently there is no need for a recount in that state. Because joe bidens, margin of victory is greater than the one half of one percent a difference required that would force an automatic recount seems to be somewhat of a difficult task for joe biden with the notrump refusing to concede and so on how or how they handling this complicated transition well as best as the president elect can handle it, he is relying on the advice and experience of many Senior Advisers who have previous federal government experience. And so that certainly is one key element. But the big obstacle facing joe biden is that the administrator at the General Services administration or a stray ssion has not signed a letter that with all the is members of the Biden Transition Team to actually work hand in glove with current federal employees on making certain that the operations of government continue when the presidency is transferred from donald trump to joe biden. On january 20th, you really want to have a sense of what the problems are of what the ongoing programs are and who isnt the best position to carry out the new incoming president s agenda.
