In the country as at least one person is killed in another round of escalating Gang Violence in the caribbean. Nation and with the guys the war now and its 6 months. We get a 1st hand account from a journalist whos extensively covered the conflict on the ground for our team to park. Recently evacuating to safety inputs are when i basically most on taxes found any safe place to work from you and is to serve my people. I talked to, i guess i have more value to the people in palestine from the outside versus inside because the you are watching r t international. Im rachel ruble live in moscow. The south african government says that strong leg condemns at times by opposition. Leaders to sell the country sovereignty to washington. R t has obtained exclusive documents verifying that the Democratic Alliance party has reached out to the Us State Department seeking partnership in the may 29th elections. It is outrages that south african Political Parties are appealing to foreign governments to interfere in our electoral processes, including through funding of so called Voter Education activities. Display is a clear attempt to bring about regime change the skies in opportunities. Dig language south africa. Sovereignty is not up for sale to any country, whether itd be from the east or the west. The gain see condemns in the strongest terms of the das, and its from one shot onto transform ation, a line sale of our sovereignty. Those obvious thing to me is by the reading cox, a code to st updates. So a need to find the official Opposition Party. Im asking the you is to into see the nation premises also back because this is of costs not see it public, but im seeing that sylvester can face the if statement around optimal crack techniques is on the 29th of may. The tensions add to new services or read the pop up both the 1st free index and companion. 2 in 1994 was the already characterized by tensions environments, but also by a great deal of hope in searching that this is the most critical election in 30 years. Also the african democracy at the Central Office of course, is the African National congress. The huge vacancies of africa, it was black majority rule to select projects, but then again, multiple polls in the past few months. Its showing that the agencies could get below 50 percent. However, present off with the countries, the pool size projects. We said that it is confident that to the is the will retain its majority in the upcoming elections. As the alternatives include the lift, we copy this call to the economy, freedom fighters, and also a former prison, jacob sue mac, unexpectedly, very recently declaring support when you deformed Opposition Party, im calling to is sees which, but the biggest Opposition Party shot is the democratic allies it already holds power locally in key areas of the country each, but it struggles with an image of problem many black. So that becomes a struggle to vote for the d a because the need a is a white man. And menu say that it is a white party. It is also the democratic allies that sent the data to the 62. 00 states of the United States. Anthony banking through the us invested a tooth of africa saying that it wishes to supplement its appeal to the International Community and helping to ensure the integrity of the upcoming elections. The n. C. Had said that to the d a is the offerings of africa, sovereignty on a silver platter by sending this increased. But thats one that we know that has the geo political sands continue to shift. Those of us invested in the political values of freedom, tolerance, peace, and democracy must do everything in our power to stem the rising tides of populism, fanaticism, oppression, and tyranny. It is our contention that as the ruling elite grow more desperate to retain electrical supports and of the upcoming elections, they may be willing to put their narrow political interests ahead of our country is broader interest and sacred constitutional values. We therefore appeal to your government to recognize the high stakes for south africa in the lead up to and aftermath of the n p. E 2024. It is in this context that we now formally request our partners in democracy to engage with consequence in the run up to the election. And thats what were looking at here comes the shop to menu. So that free time because it hasnt even been 2 months since the african prison settled. Im opposed to say that the nation um case against is well in the eyes to j could result in foreign powers interfering with the outcomes of this close to the next is that we are looking at. And now this is happening, but it seems to watch the office, the Position Quality is austin. Among other things, it is a whole resources to be made available to both stuff. The deployment of the additional independent domestic observe is also asking that the you is provide the Voter Education and Capacity Building for domestic money to the. And it was asking that to the who is how to safeguard against any attempts to disrupt the democratic prostate o influenza. The electoral procedures would misinformation. And this information, of course, the n c has had a chance to respond and it has made it clear that to be it welcomes the constructive engagement and dialogue with all Political Parties, both domestically and internationally. But it will not tolerate any attempts to undermine its democratic proceed. Oh, manipulates its election or the countries addictions that it has also called the Democratic Alliances, agenda, reactionary, and also in humane. And youd also remember that this is not the 1st mid test that the d a has decided to issue, but this one, it says its somewhat saw pos that the previous ones that he has been to the g 7 countries, or even the you are condemned to direct support, im not concerned about for an interference indeed. Nixon. Now the question that to me is how can a position bring the long about potential for any to feelings . Well, at the same time, it is practically austin the United States to do so. Earlier we spoke exclusively to African NationalCongress Bucks person mailing the bank about siri. She says the ruling party isnt surprised with the attempts of regime change given the oppositions of political stats. We dont know what the suppose will be or has been from the us. But we do know that there and we are going to, and we always expected that there would be an attempt at regime change the democratic a lot and said the police come and put it to positions that they stand full would arrive very well with those in the job, i know that do not want to see how about the new quality, the road to kicked it across the world. And particularly in the countries of the south, including south africa. If you look at a, as an example, if you look at the limits of the property and inequality in the western cape, the only problem is governed by the da, where the da say, where they come and they govern well. But go and have a look. They have a look at, they lashed conditions under which the minority needs and going to look at the state of townships in cape town, its out of the areas posted wisdom teeth go and have a look at the types up way. You know, i refused, is not collected in what is predominantly known as split areas in color communities. It can communities that gives you this story of the c o in the quality that is not going to be raised unless a different government takes a lot of the, the wisdom k b. So, so its a, its a question of those that want to maintain in sustain to the lucas, to a separate cetera. I must say that to comfortable you in that we have strong internal controls in, in, in the country in terms of robust and independent dispositions. That i meant to safeguard elections and if the i you see so, but also working with the board is such as to set off in Human Rights Commission in many others. And we are comfortable that keeping the cd and so far, institution, we wouldnt be able to protect disability. All 5 of south africa. You can be assured that a we will look any attempted composing a way id say us. So any of the, you know, ally, we would look at a not just as the in see the people so overcome. We fill up a attempted to interfering with our addictions the way spoke with the locals in johannesburg, who gave us their take on potential american interference in the upcoming elections. That is to try to, im close for for the d a to wanting to, to intervene. Americans to oversee our elections, of which we never intervene in their own elections. So i dont think that is a very is a very which i did 40 synthetic with most. So 100 percent of feel like its on sale. And so that we can citizens because i dont understand the relation between the, the Political Parties and our Political Parties. I believe that as a so that does not never can put a citizen. Im supposed to have my c as well, with regards to the polity of political industry and all that. They dont reside yet so difficult to tv. Thats good to see with regards to that the us itself so has very different rules when it comes to foreign meddling under the logan act. Any engagement with foreign governments has forbidden, unless its authorized by the federal administration and acted back in 1799. Its still in place and that preventing interference and us policy, the founder of this, and bob boy and play sanctions movement says the act closets with the us track record of meddling in other countries affairs. It does a contradiction and its a contradiction because the American Government does not expect accept region change for anybody in america that works with foreign powers. The American Governments, these base street about locals for the citizens going without a mandate from the American People to go and speak on behalf of the American People, the American Government. As far as governments, because we believe that this would commit to the National Security interest of the United States of america. I dont think that that is a reasonable the barely, some of the americans based support for the west. And at some point for friends of free, you can use control piece for my calling. These and the intentional intent to on these countries to try to break the vestiges of imperialism is a reason why a lot of applicants turn away from america. Thats another part of the world where the us is report. Elaine bowling and the deployment of a Marine Security team to haiti and the countries ongoing gain crisis that says locals, the kids washington itself of drag in their country and the chaos with at least one person killed and several wounded amid rampant Gang Violence in the capital a large scale, a salt targeted the president ial palace, interior ministry, and the local Police Headquarters gunshots had been reported throughout the night. The gangs are now said to have seized control of large parts of the haitian capital, as well as roads leading to nearby cities. Authorities have extended the state of emergency for at least one month, we heard from a haitian woman who lost her husband in the latest by us. When i arrived here, i saw a crowd of people moving around. I immediately worried about james and when i reached house number 4 to be, i came across the body of my husband, the line, and the st. James had never been in contact with anyone. She was a single secret, saves me for a company, and he owned a motorcycle. She was simply struggling. Somebody completing this further as from friday evening, shows a local Police Station in smoldering ruins, while vehicles outside were also sports by mobs. Officers fired flyers to disperse, angry crowds. Nation gang leaders want Prime Minister are real henri, whose frontline, outside the country to resign over his failure to handle the security and economic crises. Thousands of inmates also escapes earlier this week during a prison break and many returning to their games. Locals blame washington for the unfolding crisis. It is the haitian government that agrees with against the United States is responsible for these chaos because they are the ones who send the websites to create it. All you realize the owner of this country is the one who gets the weapons to get us to destroy all life and everything we have. Hes the one who knows everything. Okay, out exceeds that the haitian border with the Dominican Republic to as place throttle, the stop scores of civilians from rushing across the do tribune countries. Sharon island territory over 15000 hastens are said to have been recently displaced amid the spiraling situation in the country. Daniel shaw, latin american and Caribbean Studies professor at the City University of new york says the spiraling crisis in haiti is the results of washingtons interference. The u. S. Foreign policy is to blame the was the us 1st clinton and then bush, who orchestrated to cruise against the democratically elected government of john bertha and arris. Deed is the us whos now orchestrating their 4th or invasion and occupation of haiti, was in puerto prince. And what i hear from the haitian people over and over is that all of this k us has been well organized, well orchestrated and planned from washington, d. C for a number of years. Their parent militarys the mercenaries that desk wide to do the dirty work of the us economic and political interest in haiti, the gangs cant be held responsible by anybody where is the haitian military and the haitian police, who have a long history of repression of the people can be held more accountable. So its its, its very necessary to critique and counter the points were seeing in the miami herald in the washington post. That this is a purely the haitian governments fault. It has a much bigger, international and historical context. Actions arent the only ones accusing to us of actions leading to term while in our country. Washingtons policy in africa has also been raising plenty of questions. Lets have a listen to what was discussed at a recent Us State Department briefing. The United States does not support violent or on democratic changes in government, in africa or elsewhere. And all violations of us export regulations will be punished to the full extent of the law. But that the United States is about support violence or on democratic changes to government, africa, or elsewhere. We do not somebody grappling as the Us State Departments votes. Firestone scurried away the question still hangs in the air. Thats because the answer is definitely not so simple. And rewriting history doesnt pass the smell test, us train troops, ive been involved with at least 12 crews in west africa, and the greater so whole region during the so called war on terror as america scoured the globe for the next leaders to gift with the revolution the places where america has conducted military training include burkina, faso, chad gumby, a guinea. Molly, mario tamia. I need year to name a few of the doesnt last year. Victoria new in the us under secretary of state, a k america soon to depart routine change queen was asked what the us was doing to slow the parade of african officers over throwing governments, which the us have trained them to protect. So some folks involved in these crews have received some us training, but far from all of them, you need to talk to them about why they are over throwing their governments are a message in all cases was that the citizens of these countries deserve to see democracy restored and particularly in malia and burkina, faso, we expect both of these uh interest governments to meet their commitments, trying to explain it all way if you want me, if to 0 in. But washington will have a tough time watching a pensive involvement, as since the 2 thousands, its regularly deployed. Small commander teams to advise assist and the Company Local forces even into the battlefield. But this involvement has led to the stabilisation as an increase in terrorism. The latest to orchestrated by some us train troops in africa took place a new here just last year and its not a topic us senators, are afraid to openly admit it appears that the United States trained yet another to leader in africa. Its a disturbing trend and a sign of how badly mist allocated our National Security spending is on the continent. Its a recipe for disaster. And its part of the story about why crews are spreading all across africa in lots of places where the us has delivered lots of military assistance, but not enough economic cooperation. But who can forget the 2011 us sled operation in libya with the removal and assassination of panama for can a small market dollar fee. The k of led to the, the stabilization and privatization of the Countries Oil industry, putting wells into western hands and created what some of called the libyan slave trade. All quote, under the dyes of humanitarian intervention we came, we saw, died. Have anything to do with your visit. Im sure. The his own was, this is for profit that bushs and needs, the American Government, an american needs to send their troops and the agents around the world. I remember the case of livia, its very clear they wanted the oil. Libya is one of the richest countries in the commodity of volume. They wanted the geographic location, libya centers, the Mediterranean Sea is regarded as the northern gates of africa. And they wanted and libyas somewhere in funds. These events help these stabilize these nations, which then lead to more us and western involvement. And the more recent military. Coups, of course, washington and the bloody fingerprints have also been found in latin america and the caribbean. Recently, the white house, the night that the u. S. Is forcing hades Prime Minister to reside while pushing for new elections in the country. We are not, we are definitely not pushing prime, the Prime Minister to resign. That is not what were doing, but we have underscored that now is the time to finalize a Political Court to help set haiti on a path to a better future. And that is something that weve been working on for some time. Weve been working that on that with the care. Com, so that is nothing new. Weve had those conversations and also the haitian partners on the past to restoring democratic order and haiti through free and fair elections, Inclusive Governance and power sharing. This will give the people of the up an opportunity to democratically elect their Prime Minister. A reminder that 20 years ago this week, the Us Government placed haitis and then elected president , who had called for the french to pay reparations on a plane from Guantanamo Bay to the Central African republic with a false flight plan. After he was relocated, a qu, ended a decade of democratic progress and more information today, points to the c i a s for wrecked involvement. It took the us 58 years to recognize haitis independence. Their priorities havent changed and todays american policy is more or less consistent with the way its always been. The crew of september 1991 was undertaken with the support of the us administration. And in february 2004, it happened again. Thanks to many of the same people. Since then haiti has endured 2 decades of a revolving door of us 5 for james and today the caribbean nation. Welcome cit. Cool anniversary. Without a single elected official and office and no elections inside. Well, most haitian space, catastrophic humanitarian conditions. So here we go again. More intervention in haiti, more of the same from america as countries around the globe shawn past colonial powers, and seek independent homegrown leaders that have their country at heart as russia in china and the global south form of multiplan their world. In the face of former us dominance and control in tel aviv thousands of people flocked to the streets to protest against as rarely Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and his government. Some demonstrators were seen scuffling with police. Our people were heard chanting Anti Government slogans, and brandishing banners. Demanding the Immediate Release of hostages and the sea fire and gossip. According to local media reports, relatives and fried hostages, joined the routing to central dies, where at least 8 civilians were reported. They killed in there all below on friday is the idea of keeps up its relentless bombardment. Palestinian Officials Say the enclave is dest, or has surpassed 30800. 00 since october 7th. A warning you may find the following images, disturbing. Video shows the locals tearing the wounded as well as bodies. If the dead to a local hospital. Most of the casualties of the latest strikes in that area are said to be children or victims could still be trapped under the rumble of collapse, buildings which press the prison volunteers are scrambling to sift through the u. N. As warranted that more than 90 percent of guys, this population is on the brink of starvation and several countries have arranged to monitor and supplies to be dropped from planes. Jordan says this military has carried out a number of drops in the northern part of the enclave. In cooperation with egypt, the us france and belgium delivery of the much anticipated aid has been marred by tragedy. As several crates have reported, they fall and directly onto waiting crowds injuring civilians who gathered up the drops sites. At least of 5 people were crushed to death on friday by a pilot of supplies and does the city due to a parachute failure. Heres how our local Civil Defense spokesperson describes the deadly incident. The am a. So the last 8, its a tragedy added to the ongoing tragedies experienced by our Palestinian People and gaz estimate these bloody war. And the region has to be one aircraft, dropped 8 supplies to citizens in the Northern Areas of the street. But unfortunately, these parachutes fell directly on the hands of stimulants. These led to the depths of 5 individuals and the injured of more than 10 people, including critical interest thompson. My call like you know, neil heard from months or schuman a canadian palestinian journalist, who spent several months covering the war from inside gaza. For archie is now evacuated from the enclave to guitar and explained how he managed to escape the war zone. On the beginning of november, the canadian government todd range to, to put myself my wife and my children on an approved list to leave those districts to the, to via the border to egypt. So i was on that approved list for the, for the last few months. And when i basically lost on taxes and very safe place to work from you and is to serve my people, i decided to to connect again with the canadian consulate to norma law. And i thought that i could add more value to the people in palestine from the outside versus inside because especially during these, investigating times and successfully, you know, i passed through that off the border, took a few hours. We were given a 72. Our visa image to stay in egypt by when, by which my issue, the temporarily canadian passport was mine, was about to expire. And i decided to come to door basically because to put it to cannot escape theaters much more or less teen and friendly that i was to continue to work. We stopped taking the zone for weeks, months or you had you where the focus of fronting speculation. I was to, at what had happened after communication, what was lost with you. And on one side, you had the people saying that he was maybe apprehended by the adf. Other people said he had to go underground because of the, the relentless attacks by israel. Some is really people were calling you a uh from us. I said, how did it feel to be in the midst of that, of that media storm. Not reporting about the story being the story in any way i was a mess. Message is really wouldnt have up to me leaving for the, for in any person that leaves the board or even if now the national, the bus sports, they need to get 3 approvals, waterfront bursting, one from israeli, and one from egypt. So the matter of fact, once i got the approval to leave by the, is really forced, it shows up and nothing thats, im not an assets off uh off for from us when we went missing. We were always did you want is just that we didnt have internet connection. So we so afterwards lets later on when we were able to come back, see if you join us or hospitals more to milwaukee. So we learned to yes, there was a lot to focus on finding really my sore. And i have mixed feelings because i want to focus to be on the 2400000 students are billions for suffering and not just on, on, on the, on, on the, on the person. But at the same time, i felt that this was how the push or story more in terms of the month. So what does that example also to see me and voice trying talk the scene in pause. And we need to utilize his voice and his brand in order to ensure that the, you know, the rights of the bus students part of the turns, the fullest farmers are set to press on with weeks of protest after failed tox, with a polish Prime Minister about cheap produce from ukraine on thursday you lawmakers granted ukrainian Food Producers tax free access to local markets for another year. Heres the tech of our to contributor rachel marston. Inside the bank, top 10 of the European Union circus are smaller clusters of both those take the blocks tre, community, for example. Where do you have farmers all over the block . Turning highways into parking. Lots and legislation arise from defacto queen of europe. First will of underlines royal birth date of desk jockey, severe a p and commission to renew free trade with no duties. And quote is for non u Farm Products from ukraine that are decimating the use very on foreigners while you think of it just might be a Good Opportunity to play the adult rather than to reflexively reach for the red nose and the rainbow wing. But no, all habits die hard apparently and that deal has now been renewed from june 2024 to june 2025. There was some suggested amendments in favor of better protection of you farmers, but they came from right wing parties, so itd be establishment figured they could just shoot the messenger and carry on like cows werent being tear gas to buy riot police or the parents agricultural fair oh, but they did insist on having whats being called an emergency break, which implies that would actually stop an accident. In this case, its basically going to be applied after the clown car has already reached the average speed at which its already proven to have slammed into things like, for example, their own farmers, tractors. Concretely, that means the terrace on you for in farming products could only be slapped back on in the event that imports go above the average import levels 420222023, which for already the same levels responsible for sparking you farmers protests and
