Now you may have heard there is no government representative in this conversation that is an important thing to app because we invited the government they said yes they agreed because of the internet shutdown they were only able to join via the phone because of the internet shutdown were not able to have them join the show because the show is a 30 show and everybody has to get into that its very unfortunate and also a big point of our conversation today so let us start with this incredible a rumor musician i know you did a tribute to him wrote misspoke about him he started seeing the most recent protests amongst the Roma Community tell us a little bit about what he makes the rehman community what if you was missing from his passing. She. Moved to the cultural icon of the home or he. Was for sure or have exotic or its. Your claim to. Kind of Prime Minister or into our family we. Think creative or. Times of reading. And finding the kind of the quick expression. To people who need to be a. d great sort of. The. Last 2 or more. But i think he is somebody who accomplished. So for whats. More you me or hope to accomplish in our lifetime. I want to go to. My colleague mohammed at dow who did a report about and essence fuel so you can see what a huge figure in the us actually was and 7. The funeral for the opinion singer john who was held in his native town as undressed over his death spread from the. Way he was seen as a hero. The crowds of morris were not as big as an dissipated many say that when tun away by police and easy the funeral procession on and on of the protest. Over the single was shot in the capital of the suburb on monday the motive for his killing remains unclear the musician and activist embodied thus partitions of ethiopia slug just ethnic group the oral more songs focused on the rights of all more people and became. In a series of protests that led to the downfall of the previous Prime Minister in 2008 team. So and im just looking at a headline from out in syria dot com here more than 160 killing a few of your protests of a sickness not. Can you help us understand why was that happen why would there be so much violence. And assassination but send violence on the people who are trying to on i am trying to go to the funeral it seems like a tragedy on top of the tragedy. Thank you very much. First of all let me pixies opportunity to express my deepest condolences to everyone grieving of hi joe and as are innocent citizens who were killed last week you know me our region and i decide hi john was a very bright and i would say free spirited and shes does care very shook it should shocking news to all of us. Are going to need an ideological differences i think. I dont do that daily high profile as a nation but its by no means and its only didnt see it in. One incident that we have seen in the last 3 years as a country. And. Hygienists ground where we saw no opposition and as a government were already trading in solitaires and traitors if theres a lection whats your support and all that and of course as a crisis that ensued he is and what has transpired. Once more showed as existence of. A social and opponent problem in the country. Killing off innocent citizens. From yours. Does. As well as. A disagreement. And still we dont know what. We dont know dont have. To see who was the killer. Here or government. Were missionaries its or not a judge but why did you or your chose the bigger picture. There is one gentleman you know i hear were going with his i know you let me just read this tweet is he this is from a manual a manual says how to lose not it is just a trick radical ethno nationalism in 83. 00 its time to mint at the root of the armrest you take is once. Well. This is a very simplified in our statement to the deep rooted problem that we have in the country for the last 2 years the country has been. Very. Volatile situation and it was actually. Now. What you call it. Into. High profile people. For example. You can take a nation of. Chief of staff. And a region eater. And other high profile. Leaders in the country so. I dont want to say that. Its because of. The narrative we have from different ethnic groups its a very simplified segment for me to call that these. Narratives. Actually. Is not for me for me. And it has meaning in intuition was. Now out to regional leadership. For the last 2 years now as we speak. Internet access in the country and its also. Blocked t. V. Stations like independent you stations like or amman and. The great t. V. And another t. V. Station called. So its really sad that the situation that we are in as a country is really. And on top of that the does or fight on who. Exacerbate the situation arch and who was. Not only to the or more but he was it was 2 nations in the finale. Its really shocking and its i consider it as a murder. And is to look different in opinion and. To. Demand off. In different parts of the country because he is being voicing for us of. Course i want to put this in a t. You get i was in touch with the. Office. The Prime Minister earlier on today and again were having issues getting content on to asho we tried really hard but one of the things i heard was the media entities are fanning the flames and that there are rumors going around which arent true and this is a politically motivated assassination. This these are the governments response to a lot of what is being talked about right now how will how would you respond to that. For a course i dont want to say one. New relation to your question about this north. Korea thing that. Time where is the. Interview for which or infinitely beaten out of those others. For the last minutes of yours that i think you know. It and i want to do that and being deliberately quite a sewage by some of. It im a little bit interested and now i think all of them are also. And this is i believe be a huge. You know acid occasion to facilitate that kind of person if you just smile to the. Name of the national. House and return to the country 2. Systems whole that she would be orderly person that would have the visit everything that happened in the going to be supplied and use for them to move you know its a. Its in terms of. The. Governments response that this is a politically motivated it all evil it was a bit of a submission that was used who really had the motivation to. There might be multiple artists who know that interest was needed in both the government before he heard voices. Her or. Her or it was noticed. Or whether this would be where there are some people fired his voice asked who are a and know immediately knew you are all you. And you are way too so no apparently you anybody has. Let me let me bring in. On it this is what he said he in the wake of investors to this have listened. To the other judge in the law what our enemies want is that we dont finish the work that we started that the aroma people for this reason fight are killed the blood is spilled that the journey that we started gets derailed the undercover. So africa for life theres so much going on online you cheat frankly so much were having a vibrant conversation on like africa for life makes a good point when are you going to talk about all the good the good abby has done its not misinformation and tactics. There has been reform democratic reforms where are you now compared to a year ago in ethiopia is this. Easy if youre going in the right direction regarding democrat even though the internet was that kind of a puzzle not. Were going to want to get that at least on. Before i go question let me know if you want mystery go to what i want to say earlier i think we should understand that there are serious problems. If your peon media cycle. Media. Which have been broadcast. Driven propaganda i can i can mention what what was happening in the last few few days for example we can mention or. Even said. They have been broadcasting the speech and some of where is that where it actually calling for examination of minorities who are let me not only have read so. Im going to back to coming back to your question i think. Prime minister is one of. The years one of the most progressive leaders that we have seen we have seen in recent history of the country has released many many prisoners of course there was a conclusion of the public protests. That led to him to come to power but yeah we have mentioned a blocking off entirely in blocking off entirely that is not the 1st time that we have been rocking of blockage of the myth was there. 27 years when there is a degree and. I know its hard for you to. Connect in prior the internet i got a message on twitter a few days ago and it said i am so fed up with the internet being closed down every time that there are protests every time in some discomfort the government whether its this current government if its previous. Current governments why is it that the internet is shut down remembering that if you are right now i think as a teen people are people trying to do that work at home that is really irritating for people not to have the internet send over government stray ssion also shut down the internet does not necessarily make you might now to canada thank you for being into. That god he says that there are people who are hired by abu ahmed to spread false information on the social media so both sides of this debate a planing that is force in summation i am just wondering about this promise this the main reason is something. If i get i may. Im going to get stuck on the media even though im part of the media im going to push on that. Allow me to push and i was going to be at the end of the show weve only ever spoken about media art so. There was this promise this this this in suzy as im sure ill be on it as Prime Minister he is from the aroma ethnic group of people very excited that he could bring unity to ethiopia what do you think about where we are now with ethiopia. Its the face not. Least i dont consider i was on issues because the us. Is to to their own right and to live with. Other nations initially to peacefully and you know in harmony but they want to have. You know their own. Questions to be uncertain down in months to be a christian but has never been committed to on these questions. So i think from day one what i want. To finish let me finish i did you. Want to finish you finish your eyelids if you try it with me. I know that im going to use an. Engine that everyone knew each other i will finish so in one sense. The reason the very beginning people had reason to be very optimistic was that it got to the leadership of i mean when he used. Of course he was. Promised by the previous leader and a result of. You know reform. But i would like to give him credit for that for releasing prisoners for opening up the media but what we have right now is broke it off entirely communication in the country all funded media are banned. On it and. You know after all its very not to do so what are you going to. Do you. Give the courts time i would say youre reinforcing an argument youve already made between false. No i was saying i take my cues ations i get is a Prime Minister is somehow very catered i would say because the Prime Minister has been trying to unify a country that he has inherited which was quite a divided of chords there are some limitations but to argue of him being for example i get is if i do mr asian it is it is a total light for now we can take this you dont want people. People where for so if i did mr asian for 27 years and 30 period didnt responded to that question and the Prime Minister couldnt manage to respond in less than 2 years how can i say that its you 900. 75 i know that other. People. For the last 27 years sit down my people went down i. Think mine i dont think so little bit again youre. Right just to say the you tube audience so ok just give them a little bit of a break they hear that you are the station only chief and i dont really want to put this to you our people are asking for abbey Prime Minister. To step down they say he needs to resign part of this its due to the fact that the open actions have been postponed until im not too sure way is this a cool through resignation isnt. Sounding off or we see something is a reasonable thing to ask in its current situation. I think i think the Prime Minister are. The ones in it you know if you have 2 fields if youre against it the most important my b. G. Higher when he came to power was to. View all national consensus. For healing with and eventually where you look he spent a considerable part of his. Normal hans the deeper you guessed it how was this violence that we have seen now indicates is really the deeper fracture that exists within that your best it was the leader to do with billy talked as that and really the serious problem on the carolinas and i understand the. Challenges pursue truly took on students that kind of i think to the solutions in iraq. Thats somewhere there was a guy who said by your people to here and he couldnt vote out what he will eat and he dismantle the kind of structure that you know in the person that is it provided in the newsgroups newsnight is with the citizens to do it within our community this is kind of your heart the and how to uses it resources to do this is myth is the possibility for preventing an. Almost goal so you know why you extend any point of the illusion we have given that argument is look at least our understanding of all the ways in which it is extended even a dubious muse who will get it done and i think it is all of these things not just that us initial. I order squeeze this one more coming in because it takes us back to how we started we are allan nairn is a journalist and he had this important point to make out the assassination of a beloved singer and then the fallout from the assassination. Immediately after i had only islamists inside people to whom we have received this incentive that more than a 100 people released now here most of the mass media and or almost as. Many houses into business as record down to are innocent of the injury there seem to be more and it is the use of strength when we see the International Community and media spin and even perceive our mission as the other 20 his government has aristide not only the persons who are inside and read letters the opposition figures who are known for our side it is. So much conversation on issue but i am so. Disappointed that we didnt get the governments voice on to the program thats one good reason to hats have internet available for every country despite the conversations and the political conversations are happening i did also tapping into the Prime Ministers spokesperson and i how to say that they wanted a new era of trust and federation. But it is difficult to see how that happens at this particular stage thank you guests for being part of this conversation thank you especially you cheer you up a conversation was very vibrant help me understand where we going to go next to you as we talk to you and i guess that is it for todays conversation hopefully soon and next time on aljazeera with a straight answer watching what is taking.
