A lot. Saves the death of libby as former leader move market duffy during the 2011, nate to intervention brought in stability to the region that continues to this day. And also a head on the program this hour from failing to stabilize leisure to this stalling of ukraines hydro offensive. Recent American Foreign policy blunders involving high level officials are exposed in a new article by pilots are prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh week protocol, and the life of must go, they say is r t international. My names you know, neil on 30 minutes of news and views start know, the top officials from the eco was block of western african nations, have met in government to discuss a potential Foreign Military intervention in these year. It follows the crew. There are 3 weeks ago that solve the president to pose them taken into custody by his own policy guard. We spoke with regional journalist, tennessee. Oh, basically, we expands on what was discussed of thursdays gathering. Yes, the meetings are back or by some electric field that has just finished part today and got ice expected to hold for 2 days to start with. So it was expensive around and saying that, you know, it stands for a demo or a seat in the region. And that sounds like nothing really. Its very clear about them. When or how a possible military intervention or innovation of nature would take place just yet. But that we know that um, you know, local media reports have suggested that theres a growing, patrice at the same off, you know, a bad plan or its in the meetings, you know, across minutes or to see an hour before i die. Not, you know, where the meeting is taking place and this just goes to show this grow in sentiment across the continent. You know, many african countries, many residents here saying that, you know, they do not want aircrafts to interim fan in the matter of fact, you just said that it would integrate in, in the shower. We under steep from some paddlers that this meeting could be it meeting where of course, leaders decide on how to, you know, move forward from here. What earlier we spoke with research on journalist joshua, none that kwame, youre a who joined us from gunner after covering the eco was meeting. He seized the offensive, essentially resulted in the creation of plans for that military campaign ticket list. On the apple watch, as it were ready to commit. All use all means available to switch to a sort of country back door, which means i have to forge this whole engagement. The military way is what is on the table at the moment. They seem to be a warranty, still tons. But if you want to can be gentle, political engagement, however, the resolve of back was, is actually to meet the ministry as well as the news. Yet were kind of aggressive for anything today. Its basically what one most security expense would describe as an in military company, plus, i bet you will be the member. That was we also a member of the United Nations on the united nation. So if you look at chapter 7, the all the United Nations, the fact that actually gives a it is, it is a ghastly useful for sleeping in resolving peace. And what we usually do is to send piece to the admissions and of the troops on peacekeeping mission by march 20 gauge. The other one is a guess if you had a problem. I mean, after todays meeting, i spoke to quite a number of people and everyone seemed to be unhappy about that decision. Of course, before a stand by force detroit, you would need the consent of the contribute test, which is the Member States after. What does that work now . And they will submit to seem to be maybe you should be a, wasnt the issue on the piece council. They will not receive that report. And then as a gauge meant to be late and then it finds out the session will be made. This will, the possibility of a military intervention does not love unified fucking with signs of the vision within the eco was grouping. Senators in nigeria for instance, a country with border is an issue or being urging the president to use diplomacy instead of harsher measures. While opposition, lawmakers and gunner have argued that any military moves could go against their own countrys interest. We spoke to people in this year to hear 1st and so they are feeling about the situation and was up in the city. And i say that we expect acura wants to come to its sensors because their current approach is an antique people approach, since they simply want to intervene militarily in order to satisfy france. Military intervention is never a solution. We hope that echo was, will reject the military option and opt for dialogue because only dialogue can bring an end to this crisis. So thats what im missing today. I need to gun. There is a groundswell of support for the military. Government have come to liberate the people of new year. They have free dies from 13 years of injustice embezzlement. So we firmly stand by them and will rise to fight any Intervention Forces even before the mailed her steps. And were here and we are ready. This and yes, we didnt really see it on the African Union understands the religious of news yet. So it wouldnt be part of any major intervention. We have suffered for more than 2 years, but they didnt because so the germans, i submitted back in the mid to leadership. Weve been told should for many years. But now were a liberated and one go back. Well, some of the majority and we are in the new jerry and capital in the im a and as you know, here in the share, the news has been dominated by the military coups since july 26. A crew that saw the birth of the National Council for the safe guard of the homeland. It must be said that just after their installation, the cnsp has already set up the government. The governors and ministers have already started taking up their duties and the institutions of new share, productivities continue as normal in the capital. Yesterday, the new Prime Minister made his very 1st for a visit to the neighboring country chat. He met with charles president who has played a very Important Role since the beginning of this crisis. And these year having traveled to each year as part of a mediation group. Here he met with the deposed president and the leader of the crew. He made it clear that this neighboring country chad is not in favor of a Foreign Military intervention in these year. All in all demonstrations of support continue with the new jersey and capital me on may and markets rallies and citizen visuals. People have come out to support the National Council for the safe guard of the homeland. Another thing to keep an eye out for is the last meeting which will be held on thursday and gonna in any case, many of these areas are waiting to hear the conclusions of that eco last meeting. On the, on. Busy theres no the receiving end of sweeping sanctions from many of its former partners with the front and send the us cutting off all Financial Aid to the country. While echo was imposed restrictions to closing borders with new here on suspending financial ties. And this years of the 1st country as well, thats felt the Economic Force of echo was it previously targeted molly . But again, a fast. So im guinea with a barrage of financial functions following military coups eric c to me was the United Nations. I was call free to military and exemptions to those sections. Its noted that for months, well before the president was hosted, several 1000000 people were in dire need of food and the. Busy is winning the current prices could worse in that situation . Well, we spoke to nigerian attorney on that global policy. All of this done with a wallet who say is that from the beginning, the west African Regional block pursued the block of intervention rather than the publishing a lot of drawings right from the beginning. Learn that part of the strategy for negotiation is to bring things that a value to both sides. As you see people in the United States natal, im not taking those hot stubs. So whats the do . But it was right from the beginning. Ready sided that it was going to say ministry before decided negotiate which about resulted in so many of the delegations i decided to need your business not rejected. And this time by maybe to, by deciding whether to have mattress because at the moment you most find it all by itself, the generally supported by 3 or the applicant countries. And you need to also understand that the board of sticks, they are by 61 of these borders that julia and these are the people lead the have religious religion of business in jersey, new jersey. So you already have a problem where the country, where the vehicle with jack comes from, might have a difficulty, riley around their support. They gave me here in the 1st place, believed shortly, the highest, they kind of do it bordering state, for example. She has views. Ready made toward the west while i guess these are the higher they gotta do is to find this look on the list. Yes. Im rooms who create that kind of a conflict situation or they need you in the hope that it will make the gym and the general popular. But the problem with that is that if you could also kind of look at that. So each of you see that in the last 15 to 20 years, be happy. See, this is such as the and the total respective. It is. So is a delicate environment. The minute you begin to 5 possible fun do rooms and theyll pull up that it will make that regime on popular. You are likely to create a scenario that would escalate to the crisis it wish or cause if you manage it in that situation, which may thats off. Yeah. Maybe result in actually test spring just like we have the out up spring. Well, further north, on the continental flush and libyan capital between 2 of the countries, most powerful of factions has left at least 55. 00 people that are the breaks of violence being a regular occurrence. There is since a nato backed uprising cause deep divisions in the nation back in 2011. Several lloyd last march and exchange of fire between the specials, the turns force which acts as the capital of police force. On the 400 and 44th brigade linked to the b as defense ministry, it came off to the commander of the loved her was arrested, sheltering at. Busy ready, shaking peace between the 2 malicious, some have called the violence, the worst tripoli has seen it over a year. Meanwhile, it Police Foreign minister, as brenda natos 2011 operation in libya, failure on one which brought instability to the region of large. The very least, i believe that it was a very serious mistake to let conducted be killed. Him may not have been the champion of democracy, but as long as he was eliminated, political instability arrived in libya and africa. Well libby of former italy and colony is still a team s right now, suffering from the result of a french and british lead invasion that killed its leader in the market alfie. Back in october, 2011. And what did emily get out of that . A flood of migrants. Its not like it off. He didnt warn europe. Telling french tv ahead of the nato bombing into the top of his country. That if he went down, then italy and france specifically would be flooded with millions of migrants because would be a played a role in securing and stabilize the africa and the mediterranean. And thats exactly what ended up happening. The flow of migration into europe is still a big problem with the death of hundreds of my friends and the central mother trade in so far this year alone, libya is become a haven for human smuggling and slavery and the launching pad for migration into europe in italy is really very new brenda, that as weve seen recently with all these, this capsizing in the mediterranean and driving of migrants, not quite the freedom and democracy that nato had promised. So its great to be libya free libya at midnight. Tonight, a successful chapter in nato history will come to an end. You have already started writing a new chapter in libyas history. We acted to protect you together. We succeeded, believe it is finally free from being causing to brag from his right to to western mountains and to trip away. I got sounds like hes talking about a whole other planet. We had to deal with gadhafi for olivia to serve as a choke point of sorts for african migration heading towards europe. He promised to intercept any migrants who ended up in the mediterranean and send them back to libya before they could enter italian waters. But then it really ended up endorsing the western backed libyan rebels against the dolphin. And, well, all bets were off for the libyan leader. For some reason, italy was just shocked. That cannot be was no longer willing to play ball and i pulled the migrant intersection deal after julie started cheering for regime change against putting desperate people on a boat and pushing them off to see sending them to dying to meet it, to rainy and is something very close to being another crime against humanity for which the regime will have to answer the western branding of those libyan rebels as heroes. Just like the Syrian Rebels he fought against president Bashar Al Assad before defective and joining up with other jihad is against the west. In some cases or the c i a trade and back. So solomon lighten led the taliban during the us cover organs. The soviets in afghanistan in the eightys that gave rise to al qaeda. We all know what happened with them. 911. Thats all i need to say or more recently like the ukranian, as of neo nazis, western training and back to story. Well, its to be continued all western back and all western tools of regime change, who then became, or risk becoming still taking time bonds that could blow back at any time against western interest. No saw that coming ages ago. Gadhafi. Now listen, you people of nato. You are bombing a wall, which student the way up african migration to europe, and then the way of all kinds of terrorists a, this was libya. Youre breaking it, youre ready. Its and you will burning how for the thousands of migrants from africa and for support me, ill tie that. It will be so i never lie and i do not lie now. So theres another aspect to this tragedy. The french financial crime, prosecutors here in paris. Ive told the french press back in may, that they will ask a judge to try former french president , regardless of posey for passive corruption, criminal association, the legal financing of electronic campaigns and concealment of embezzled public fines in libya of lydia. So alt your motives for i was think adolphe would certainly help to explain what African Leaders had said way back when about western refusal to even less than take charge of this. Libyan conflicts on their own confident in the view or in light of a peaceful resolution. The way to the be the media on the new mission. Oh so you have what everybody did to to go by but the middle of the blindness and libya. So whats the takeaway here . Turns out that italy did not stand up against its western allies to protect its very own interest in libya back then. And it continues to just go along to get along with pretty much everything that us lab nato dies to the continued detriment of its very own interest, and certainly those of its citizens from new sure to ukraine. The latest part of the missteps of American Foreign policy. How been exposed in a new article by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh or t correspondence shaped bows laced aloud. Or if theres anyone who knows whats going on behind the scenes at the us state department, its a veteran journalist Seymour Hersh. Hes just released a fascinating article, shedding some light on how what started out as a scramble to save ukraine, has now become a scramble to say careers and reputations of the entire ukrainian misadventure look set to become afghanistan to point o. Hersheys high level source pulls no punches when revealing just how desperate the situation is. With even the recent Saudi Arabian piece talks being revealed as nothing more than he had another pointless tobacco organized by joe bartons National Security advisor, Jake Sullivan general was sullivans baby. The official said just one more, but whos counting for the nation showed up all but 6, looking for free food after the desk to shut down and surprise, surprise, the impending collapse of the cranium. Project housing apparently limited the appetite of the state department. I did tater in chief victoria newland for yet more trouble making. Shes turned up in these youre looking to exploit the recent on rest there. But according to her source, she didnt use. 3 the last, the results she was hoping for, the intelligence official put her remarks to the times in American Military lingo, victoria set out to save the new share uranium owners from the barbaric russians and got a huge single finger salute. Of course, when we think about the u. S. As proxy war and ukraine, theres one face that stayed with us from day one. And thats the old around good guy, us secretary of state anthony or blinking or tony to his friends. Well, it seems totally solely isnt too eager to want to be front and center when it comes to the usual. We stand with ukraine photo us. He actually seems to be preoccupied with other business these days. Maybe tony know something that the white house still refuses to accept. Secretary of state, tony blinking, where was he has the question of the official who said the blinking has figure it out that the United States that is our ally, ukraine will not win the war against russia. The word was getting to him through the agency c. I a, the ukrainian offense was not going to work. There was a show by the landscape and there were some in the administration who believed his so as the zalinski regime runs out a road and friends, it seems were heading into that pre collapse phase where a messages of ongoing support concealed an urgent scramble to justify failure and lay the blame. And as the key every team looks at to be thrown onto the boost by the us. It will be the ukrainian people that will pay the price just like theyve been doing since the start of this do proxy war against russia. Zimbabwe is ready to conduct harmonize general elections next week. Thats according to the Southern African nations. The election controlled in its operations does involve electoral commission, is not influenced by the government individuals or any other organizations sometimes is alleged. I would like to inform you that the commission is ready to conduct harmonized 2023 elections. Harmonized elections are essentially an all encompassing village where our citizens vote for the President Parliament provincial, consult. Im local a far as hes now at 11 candidates, including the incumbent president are buying for the countrys top position. Whatever comes out on top of the face and media challenges on that big in trade prices in zimbabwe have skyrocketed in the past year. Many are off by some 90 percent corruption as well remains an acute issue. We spoke to local people in her all right. Who shared their expectations about the fast approaching election . That what do you want is peace shooting into after elections . Its expects an improvement in terms of the economy in terms of food, the jump creation. We need jobs as you with, you know, we need to, the, we need a queen just entering them into the distance of the internet. Next it is to connect live to shoot from cards to live, empties and the president people will know the needs of the people into are able to feel the needs of those people. So basically that is what im expecting. We is, and bob wins. Uh, we just expect uh, free and Fair Elections into video hold full of the links inside the piece that is revealing before the link it to us or do you feel shooting enough directions also, what will be going on . What would be on the bones . Meanwhile, religious leaders have raised the alarm over the rise of Political Violence and intolerance in as in bob way, in this statement, the Nations Council of churches, coal for a pull with all the blood shit that submitted fears of must finance after a supporter of the Main Opposition Party was recently stoned to death. We spoke to the head of the council. Reverend wilford domingo they expressed is hope for a peaceful election process. This is public tons of cases, the judge. Yeah. But we, we, we have a full kitchen, put a peaceful, electro processes that exist we, we have an uncontested electronic outcome because our success election depends 18. We had 70 when the election resolve was tested. And uh we, we, uh, which is thats at least we have the free and critical election which will not for just the and import this to resolve like the, the one thats the head you print to 80. And therefore we, we know thats a, is about place fixing a lot of the challenges. And we have the knack of funding in the mission. Is it just in the sex or process . It wont be. Thats uh that you let you know produce it is out to that to be accepted by everyone in this that will help the initiative to come together and do with the economy and political and the social issues that they country needs based with them havent been at that the, the issues of inflation and in the is the bed you put on the unemployment and corruption, but use the kind of highly pull the commission where they use a political the issue that can do weakness across the board. Given media itself is the i the pull that i, its one of the things that people advocating cool is that maybe this election might to help a lot, but its gonna need us to realize that after the election they might need to win together. And thats why people that really have to yeah, after unity months, now what politically does, because once we do what its going to does, thats when we get that. We believe that i could maybe we improve in some of the tenants. Thats the basic we we can face them together and find a local solution for the problems that you are facing. Is it mister k . Lets keep attention on the continent. The president ial office in nigeria, africas largest economy, has assured the current petrol prices remain on change for the foreseeable future. That statement came in response to warnings from oil market analysts who predicted yet another price increase. The 3rd, since the president took office just to some 3 months ago now those forecast cited the Foreign Exchange prices as the main clause. By for years just to explain a little more, the west african nation has been juggling multiple currency conversion rates. One is dictated by the Countries Central Bank as normal. While another far higher all the official rates is determined by the price of imported commodities. But we spoke to calvin, the money well, economic as well as on c, u, of a nigerian food and beverages for ease, ease the Currency Exchange rates. And the problems and settings are the biggest factor in determining those federal prices. The patrol price is going off. You miserable market is a normal thing, central fraser to cheap compared. So in international private, special 5 is going for about 0. 78 per liter in nigeria. That countries in africa, you folks are allow for guys in by we meet up actually is a dollar 50 cents for me to do. You have to understand thats dictating good. Like you said, the biggest factor in the domain, federal prizes, to be honest with you, these government as compared to the media pass government. That was a complete disaster. And you could look them up on the kids here for everybody. Very, very affordable and bucks to show you how dead. So somewhere around the 170000000000. 00 like major has never happened ever. Any history of the, what you see would increase the price of petrol, is because in 2021, the government of 9 europe, possibly quoting Petroleum Industry apps. And the section is to 51. 00. Its safe to go to my grid from government control prizes, way, provide a subsidy. Im gonna change the 3rd budget for you to provide anywhere around 12000000. 00 the subsidy for petroleum major because it is broke. I just want you so much money. I can transfer, you come from what you have the government of that for removing those subsidies on a line to Market Forces to determine the price of the tree. So thats what youve seen in nigeria, and thats why the phrasal patrol has gone from somewhere between 10 feet on 0. 50 to somewhere around 70. Its sense card entry and 0 is do you want that . That didnt work well on a related theme. Africa has quotes on top, potentially global High Tech Industries that has been main take away from a key report by the u. N. Department on trade development. The papers states that the african continent, the free trade area, offers great opportunities to countries on the continent. A little dollars for a key role in the globe. Busy of supply chain. Moreover, i forget, has a unique advantage on the, at Green Energy Market us, its a vital source of coal. Both a lithium, essential for foss, raise reports, state the region. Also, both are rapidly growing tech ecosystem. We heard from independent list on consultant can but sir, who believes that most promising wrote surveys for the african economy, includes that green energy about high tech industry. One of the things that i think office right now in the world is in terms of the green energy and we can leverage what it has to bring the investments to africa. And then what the fuck cherry, exactly. Cultural, especially the country is being want to go buy new edition minerals. They have their own challenges about legal system and, but we have what we call a be content. Now being the top, the wireless, a tease because in a country that does not believe it does appropriate, is the basis of buckboard and is the leverage of which you run the investor. Thats from my book, just to convenience, things able to give industrialization. So when functioning, its going to be key in terms of the investor. Let me know if you want to look at whats it called by trade economy. That is a Technology Help people into in terms of by city and in terms of the what i call the other part, thats what it does mean for what is a potential for games because we live in sports to be more weld and, and improve the african columns, so its a big bus cocktail, what we need to, but not functioning as it doesnt industrialization. And in terms of industrialization that to love to ride the culture. Because the traditional mining monroe calling on behalf of antoine the only one of them is that the energy is that has been good. What history back to you in using the Clean Energy Resources that we have to move everything that we do . The rest is deputy and boy at the you and says keeps. Leadership has been pushing its troops into what has amounted to a suicide mission, in order to appease ukraines western patrons. He adds the current country offensive has been largely a failure resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of printing forces to last week. The american president jo button as congress to give you trained 24000000000. 00 in addition to what was already spent. Thats a 113000000000. 00 and a visual aid. This amounts to 900. 00 for each American Family western authorities. Despite the fact that they claim to be for democracy are completely depth to the cause of their own citizens and who is benefiting from this. Its very clear that the americans, its not the ordinary americans and europeans. So the us military has cleaned the market for the product. So in the us military, Industrial Complex is products. And it seems that the independent defense policy that you create that to the European Union wanted to crowd for so long. It has been fully subjugated to the interest of washington as for ordinary ukrainians, the t is and the western capitalist dont care about them at all. It is the lives of ukrainian soldiers or simply thrown into these cannon fodder assaults. And in
