And they say that more than 20000. 00 are at the border waiting to cross into those 2 states seeking refuge from the conflict that is currently unfolding in the to greater region.

Thats the east african bloc. That brings together a group of nations including sudan and ethiopia. He has called the Prime Minister and expressed his readiness to mediate in the conflict. And its a great region expressing concern that is something that the head of the, Sovereignty Council also expressed in this b. S. , the security and Defense Committee meeting on monday. But the 2 sides, the Prime Minister of sudan, abdullah and the head of the Sovereignty Council both met with the security advisor of the ethiopian Prime Minister abu ahmed, who said that this conflict will get, will be sorted in the shortest time possible.

Eliphaz a quarter of a 1000000 fighters and a lot of military equipment up against ethiopias military says it has made gains in the west to gray in response to an attack on one of its federal military bases. That bryden is a strategic Adviser Research a think tank covering the horn of africa. He says this escalation is a cause for concern not only for to grains, but for other ethnic groups. One of the alarming things about this conflict is the speed with which it has shifted from a discourse over constitutionalism and political principles like federalism to one that has taken on a a viciously ethnic character really in the space of a matter of weeks. So where this began, the dispute you could say began with the government of abbey akhmed, postponing National Elections because of the coverage. 19 epidemic to graze. Saying this is illegitimate. Going ahead with its own elections as constitutionally mandated, the federal government calling that illegal, that at that level were talking about highly sophisticated state functions and issues. But now if you look at these statements from the government and from social media mouthpieces on various sides of the conflict, this is being characterized last as a kind of precise Law Enforcement action by the federal government. But as an offensive against that, the people of to gray and to grains outside that to great region, finding themselves arrested, detained, questioned, some prevented from leaving the country even those some with dual nationality and foreign passports. And so this is beginning to, to take the character of an ethnically fueled conflict and as other ethnic groups see, this evolving, i imagine were the anxiety and the concern that the federal government could use similar tactics against other regions. Other groups is simply going to grow security and Election Officials from the u. S. Government have released a state and declaring this is president a president ial run the election the most secure in American History as it is now. Evidence Voting Systems were compromised despite this president , donald trump continues to make unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud and fisher reports. Its unusual for donald trump to keep such a low profile. Hes made one appearance, but hasnt spoken in public for a week. His twitter feed continues to push claims of a stolen election on thursday. He tweeted a report alleging 2700000 votes were deleted from Voting Systems across the country. The company who made the machines says that didnt happen, and a Government Election watchdog insists the election was the most secured in American History. The elections, infrastructure, government, coordinating council, and the election infrastructure sector, coordinating committees, part of the department of Homeland Security issued a joint statement and emphasized in bold type. There is no evidence that any Voting System deleted or lost votes changed votes, or was in any way compromised. One of the major contributors for making this the most secure election in u. S. History is the fact that there were large numbers with vote by mail. And actual having physical paper ballots, one of Donald Trumps closest aides has reportedly been seeking out. Officials in various government departments, he considers insufficiently loyal to donald trump, with the intention of firing them. One of the people behind this report has told friends he expects to be called in the coming days. On capitol hill, democrats continue to urge their republican colleagues to accept the election result and get back to business when it comes to the election.

Ok, the biden team is pushing for access to the daily intelligence briefing. They got them during the campaign, but have been blocked since the election by a white house contesting the result. Will republican senators have expressed concern that could impact u. S. Security well stopping short of contradicting the president . Look, one of these 2 men will be the president United States after the Election Results of coming out. And i think at this point, just as a matter of protecting our nations interests, i do think that both the president and his and his competition here, the Vice President biden should have access to those classified reports. President trumps legal team insists theres a process to follow that could take some time and it continues to fundraise to help the president s efforts in court. Alan fischer, aljazeera washington, china has become one of the last major countries to congratulate president elect joe biden. U. S. For the actions with beijing have been strained on trade technology and security under the Trump Administration. In the latest spat, the u. S. President has bad americans from doing business with companies that have links to the chinese military. His executive order claims beijing forces chinese firms to help finance and modernize its military ban takes effect on january 11 days before trump is due to step down. Lets pick now to gabriel and his own daughter who is in wilmington, delaware. Ok, so it was a Foreign Ministry spokesperson wasnt from china that issued this congratulations message to joe biden. Im wondering how different might the china u. S. Relationship be under a Biden Administration . Well yeah, i mean youre probably going to see more strategy and less rhetoric from a Bided Administration than what you see under a donald Trump Administration, the last 4 years or so. I mean, we should point out that joe biden has not responded to the congratulations from the chinese Foreign Ministry. We dont expect him to, hes actually taking a couple days off at his beach home. Not too far from here in wilmington, so were not expected to hear from joe biden today on his schedule to be speaking publicly at all. However, listen, i mean, you can pretty much guarantee that there is wide bipartisan support in washington for a tough stance. Continue tough stance with china, and you dont have to look too far to see where biden might take the relationship with china because we have over the last 8 years, that biden was a Vice President to barack obama and a lot of bidens key advisers on Foreign Policy either formal or informal advisors, are people that dealt with china policy. When joe biden was Vice President of the United States for 8 years. So while in a trumpet ministration, we saw a lot of focus on trade tariffs and the economy. Youre likely to continue to see that with a by administration, but also you could potentially see something a little bit different. Where in a Biden Administration, you will see things such as democracy and human rights take equal importance perhaps as trade and tariff issues under ministration. When it comes to china, there also could be some points certainly some points of cooperation between the 2 countries under biden. And president xi particularly 2 issues. Number one, it could be with Climate Change because biden has said Climate Change is going to be one of his top priorities. And you cant get much done on Climate Change without engaging constructively with china. And also a new one. Here with the pandemic with coronavirus, of course, there could be points for cooperation with when it comes to things such as distribution of vaccines, cooperation on technology and science on these issues as well. So listen, theres a lot to take in here, but the bottom line is, what you can expect is that a lot of the policy will probably remain the same. Its just how its implemented. Will probably be a little different with biden taking a much more multilateral approach. Than the Trump Administration has the last 4 years. Ok, thanks so much for that.

They should be maintaining law and order. And also making sure that the area is secure, making a note of the military hardware there, or whether there are any landmines are in secure buildings.
