The nation and with the god, the war, now it is 6 months. He gets a 1st time the account from a journalist whos extensive, it covered the conflict on the ground for oxy up before he escaped. When i basically most access any safe place to work from eunice to serve my people. I thought that like i had more value to people in palestine. Im from the outside versus inside the system at 6 am on sunday morning k and the russian capital money to speak to scott a with all the very latest. Thanks for joining us. Of the south african government. A said that it strongly condemns attempts by opposition, leaders to sell the country sovereignty to washington without saying it has obtained exclusive documents outlining at times by the Democratic Alliance party. To reach out to the state departments taking partnership in the may 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 into strongest terms. The das and its one shot on to transform ation, a line sale of our sovereignty. Those obvious thing to me is by the reading cox, the code to st. Updates. So a need to find the official position 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 and as a statement around optim, aquatic unix is on the 29th of me, the tensions and to new services or read the pop up books, the 1st free index and companion, 2 in 1994 was already characterized by tensions environments but also by a great deal of hope in searching. 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, imports black majority rule to so that projects, but then again, multiple pools in the past few months. Its shown that to the agencies could get below 50 percent. However, president off with the countries the post as publicly said that it is confident that 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 jacobs. Do not unexpectedly, very recently declaring support when you deformed Opposition Party. Im calling to is sees which, but the biggest Opposition Party here 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 is a white man, and when you say that it is a white party, it is also the democratic allies that sent the letter to the city to states of the United States. Anthony, blinking through the us invested, which is the last week of saying that it was to supplement its appeal to the International Community and helping to ensure the integrity of the Upcoming Elections. The n. C. Had said that 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 ahead 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 the 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 as a shock to menu. So that free time because it hasnt even been 2 months since the african prison settled. Im opposed to say the finishes case. The game is well in the eyes to j could result in foreign powers interfering with the outcomes of this closer. The next is that were. Looking at and now this is happening, but it seems to be watching people, special Position Quality is austin, among other things that is for resources to be made available to both stuff. The deployment of the additional independent domestic observe is also asking that the u. S. Provides 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 influence the electoral procedures would listen formation. And this information, of course b and 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 it makes sense that it has also called the Democratic Alliances agenda. Absolutely. And also in humane and youd also remember that this is not the 1st mid to that to the d. A has decided to issue, but this one, it says its somewhat saw past that the previous ones that he has been to the g 7 countries or even the u. R. Condemned to direct support. Im just concerned about for an interference. Indeed. 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. Clearly a we spoke exclusively to the African National congress, Spokes Person modeling the been, you must siri a. She says of the really policies and surprised with the attempts of regime change given the opponents political stance. We dont know what that is. Suppose wed 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 Alliance. The police come and policy positions that they stand for. World arrive very well with those in the go by not that do not want to see how about the new quality eradicated across the world. And particularly in the countries of the south, including south africa. If you look at it as an example, if you look at the level of the property and into quantity in the western cape, the only problem is governed by the d. When a d a say, where the government, the government will. But to 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 in cape town and the outside areas posted wisdom teeth. Go and have a look at the pipes up way. You know, i refused, is not collected in what is predominant you known as split areas and color communities. A ask and communities that gives you this story of the liberty of inequality. That is not going to be raised unless they 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 of the lucas you will slip petite, fedramp. 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 decisions that i meant to safeguard elections. And if the i you see so, but also working with the bodies such as the south African Human Rights Commission in many others. And we are comfortable that keeping the cd. And so how is the solution . We will be able to protect the serenity of, of south africa. You can be assured that a we will look any attempted to imposing a window to us. So any of the, you know, um and i, we, we blockage a not just as the agency, the people. So though, because we fill up any attempt interfering with our addictions, we spoke to some locals in johannesburg who gave us that tank on a possible american involvement. In the Upcoming Elections that is totally unclosed for, for the d a to wanting to, to intervene. Americans. Ringback cl elections, of which we never intervene in their own elections. So i dont think that is a very because of attic, which i did 40 synthetic with move. So 100 percent, i 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 startup, because ive never been a citizen, im supposed to have my c as well with regards to the polity. Political industry and all that they dont resides. Yeah. So difficult to tv. Thats good to see if it goes to that the us itself, though, has very different rules when it comes to foreign medlink under the logan nights any engagements with foreign governments is forbidden unless is authorized by the federal administration. And i said back in 1799, its still in place to this day and its aimed at preventing interference and us policy. The found a vision by way of distinctions movement says that the art classes with us, his own track, record, and meddling in other countries a fast. It is a contradiction and its a contradiction because the American Government does not expect accept region change. Ok. Anybody in America Works with foreign powers. The American Government is face 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 the 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 imperative. Some of the americans based support for the west end at some point for a front some for 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 the reason why a lot of applicants turn away from america. But now if its too high to with us is the parts of the building, the deployment of and read secure to team and meet the countries ongoing done crisis outcomes is some local people have accused washington itself of drug in the country into chaos. The at least one person killed and several wounded image from prince Gang Violence and the capitol.

The gangs and now said to have seized, looked at the large parts of the hyphen capital, as well as roads leading submitted by cities, will se how to extend to the states of emergency for at least 4 months. We had from one hyphen woman who lost the husband. 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 husbands line and the st. James had never been in contact with anyone. She was a single secret salesman for a company and he owned a motorcycle. She was simply struggling. Somebody to leaving this voltage from friday evening shows whats left of a local police station, hyphen gang, lead this one Prime Minister, ari alone read. Hes currently outside the country. So resigned over his failure to handle the security and Economic Crises of thousands of inmates also escaped early this week during a prison break many returning to the previous gangs. Some locals blamed washington the unfolding crisis. Is that it is the haitian government that agrees with the gang, the United States is responsible for these chaos because they are the ones who send the web us to create it. All. I realize the owner of this country is the one who gets the weapons to the get us to destroy our lives and everything we have. Hes the one who knows everything. What counts exceeds now the haitian boda with the Dominican Republic as well as police struggled to stop scores of civilians from brushing across the 2 carbon countries, boucher and on and surgery and it was 15000 patients. Assets have been recently displaced amid the spiraling situations in the country. But dont you feel who was the last in american entire being states professor of this City University new york. Lisa is this far in crisis in heights. It is, there is a top washingtons interference. U. S. Foreign policy is to blame the was the us 1st clinton and bush, who orchestrated to cruise against the democratically elected government. If john returned our steed 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 in plan from washing these see for a number of years. The paramilitaries, the mercenaries, the death squads who 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 in 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 of hyphens, the only ones accusing us of the stabilizing the country. Washingtons policy in africa has also been raising plenty of questions as well as of the listen to what was discussed at the recent Us State Department briefing. The 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 has about support violence or on democratic changes to government, africa or elsewhere. We do not somebody grab of drugs as the Us State Department spokesperson squared 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 trained troops, ive been involved in at least 12 cruise 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 a revolution the places where america has conducted military training include burkina, faso, chad, gumby, a guinea, molly mara, tavia, and need year to name a few of the doesnt last year. Victoria new in the us under secretary of state a k americas 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. Some folks involved in these clues 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 internal governments to meet their commitments, trying to explain it all way if you want mrs. Newland 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 miss 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 lead operation in libya with the removal and assassination of panama for can a small market dollar fee. The k of led to the, the civilization and privatization of the Countries Oil industry, putting wealth into western hands and created what some of called the libyan slave trade. All quote, under the guise of humanitarian intervention, 3 came, we saw, died. Have anything to do with your visit . Im sure the news or was this here for profit that bushs needs, the American Government, an american needs to send their troops and their agents around the world. Or in the case of libya, its very clear they wanted the oil. Libya is one of the richest countries and the commodity of volume. They wanted the geographical location, libya centers, the Mediterranean Sea is regarde
