As our top story, the eco last block of west african nations has activated that stand by force saying it wants to restore Constitutional Order in the chair, following a military coup in the country 3 weeks ago on thursday. Echo aust, military chiefs have gathered to discuss the issue in gonna we spoke with a local journalist from nigeria who said that the meeting which just wrapped up may have discussed further steps to resolve the situation. Yes, the meetings are back or by some electric cheese that has just finished part today and got ice expected to hold for 2 days. Thats what what so it was expensive. Its frowned in saying that, you know, it stands for demo bracy in the region and that sound but nothing really. Its very clear about when or how a possible military intervention or innovation of new share would take place just yet.

You know, many african countries, many residents here saying that, you know, they do not want aircraft to interim fan in the matter of fact, peter said that they would interchange in, in the shower. We on the street from some patent lease that does meet and could be it meets and where of course leaders decide on how to, you know, move forward from here.

It is urging the president to use diplomacy, while opposition law makers and gone to argue that any military move could go against their own countrys interest. We spoke to the people in the new chair to see how theyre feeling about the situation and was up in the city. And i say that we expect actor 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 does 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 then yes, we didnt really see. And i think the African Union understands the religious abuse yet. So it wouldnt be part of any major intervention we have suffered for more than 2 years, but they didnt speak out. So the germans, i submitted back in the major leadership weve been told should for many years. But now were liberated and one go back to Something Like a present in new jersey. And we are in the new jerry and capital in the army. And as you know, here in these year, the news has been dominated by the military coups since july 26. A cruise 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. Governors administers have already started taking up their duties in the institutions of new share. Productivities continue as normal in the capital.

Molly bertina, faso and guinea with a barrage of financial sanctions following military coups there as well. And meanwhile, the United Nations, as called for humanitarian exemptions to the sanctions. It noted that even before the president was ousted, there were several 1000000 people in dire need of food, and the land is warning that the Current Crisis can worse in that situation. We spoke to lawyer and International Political analyst, daniel walla, who says that from the beginning echo was pursued the route of intervention rather than diplomacy. April ive got it runs right from the beginning, learn the title of the strategy for negotiation is to bring things that a value to both sides. As youll see people in the United States natal, im not taking those hot stubs. So whats the do .

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 look at africa, you 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 form do um theyll pull up that that will make that redeem on popular. You are likely to create a scenario that would escalate to. Ready process it. Ready cause if you manage it in that situation, which may, thats how the babys or to actually test spring, just like we have the out of the situation in the share means washingtons having to choose it, its words very carefully and sufficiently branding the events as a cool cleaning that under us lot would have to cut all military and financial ties with the country.

Meanwhile, several 100 african civil organizations have sent a drawing letter to president brutal saying that the confidence climate interest should be prioritized above the wishes of the west, which they claimed, comment africas expense. The agenda of the summit has been unduly influenced by us based consultants to, for mackenzie and company, lead of african officials and ministers has been pushed on the back burner. These developments are serious lounge settling. The summit concept note as proposed by my teens and company, reflects the interest of the us, mackenzie, and the western corporations they were present. Meanwhile, effort, the state and priorities are conspicuously missing. As a result, what are mainly focuses on africas needs when it comes to Climate Policy and green energy and says western companies and institutions should not be allowed to dictate the course of the change. What has been signed by over 400 organizations. Its the 1st time that this events been held and it will run for 3 days in the Canyon Capital and said to hear from senior ministers to African Union officials and various experts in the field. The final declaration will be adopted at the end. The various organizations that uh, kind of set the agenda for this time its uh, Police Police specials like, uh, mccain, skid. Um which is uh uh are you as best clothes or does it from um, but as p a to be setting the agenda for uh for, for the summit this boucher know some of the uh major access im guessing so in other terms such as all us who we should participate and contribute to this. I mean, um, what do you feel isnt comfortable organization . Uh they are pushing an agenda this into pushing them agenda i can reach uh my so cause making a purchase to the Climate Change issues which i think uh we, we oh so we are concerned about the additional select my guess the uh the foundation that be being made, i guess on dishes on this hosting to have uh a be got it all in, in, in the summer. Give this somebody its, uh, presentable claims. Uh is uh, is enough to come somebody sorting of the solutions and the resolutions and outcomes with the stomach. And from that thats kind of voice the coming covers of practicing the by november. So how authentic is this . How many people have organizations like making ski and the private entities . One of the comfortable whose agenda is unclear, are having a big about the same. The agenda on the outcomes of the assignments banks that unites the brakes group of emerging economies has issued a new bond in south africa. That is one of the highest rated on the domestic market. The so called new Development Bank place the obligation in 3 and 5 year tranches in south africas rand currency. The issue as part of a major efforts to boost the national economy. Specifically, by increasing trade turnover and the bank has been strengthening its presence on emerging markets around the world and encourages the use of local currencies as the bricks group has also been looking to issue a united unified rather currency for that block. As it moves away from traditional dollar denominated trade, the brakes uh Organization Includes the economic power, houses of china, russia, india, and has emerged as a counter balance to western hegemony as it promotes a more multi polar world trade and National Currencies is endorsed by bricks, members especially in view of the heavy sanctions that the u. S. And other western powers have imposed on rival economies around the world. To get more on this, now were going across live to that we root, who is the chief economist and founder of Efficient Group in south africa. Thanks a lot for joining us on the program. Dally. So what were the specific regent reasons for the new Development Bank . To issue these new bonds in south africa the new due, while they are many reasons. One of you said theres a, thats a good financial marketing is what liquidity needs and it to be easy to use your bonds in south africa. In fact, is there something i took on capitol ball good is probably use some of the mostly put capital, all good, self only merging countries in the world. So its on that point of view, its easy to do that. You do use an established Capital Market a 2nd. The of course its much bigger. A do quite often do you see both in your own currency as a b because you dont run the Exchange Rate risk of for example, you use your name daughters to be an issue of dollars and youve got its a week and then youre running an Exchange Rate risk as well, and i think 50, yeah, i think of the biggest countries to the modem. I choose what they are going to see more know, especially when it comes to say, for example, bones and everything comes to trade as well. So i think that could it be that could be a number of reasons and the reason is it will make sense to me. Well, what other ways would you say the bricks nations are looking to strengthen their economies in the near future . What can you say about trade among those states . And i would say that should be a 1st broader deep. We know that the weve about the bricks meeting. So thats a good thing. The problem has been the sick adult this month. And i think that must be number one priority on the agenda. That is what can be done this thing, some trade between the various countries. We should this, that be straight agreements, do make it easier for countries to trade with one another with this little friction as possible. But its still the new method of trade is also to make it easy in terms of Payment Systems to make it easy to pay and 1. 00 another and basically just organizing own got into to buy one another as well. So, but so the trade would be my, the on top of my agenda really comes to this meeting up from between the say could be so that what do you think about the brakes plan to issue a unified currency . Weve spoken a little bit about local currencies, but this is also another proposed way to move away from using the us dollar and international trade. So what do you think about that in terms of its potential effectiveness and the likeliness of that coming to reality . I t
