Our top00:06:00story the reformist a new prime minister a few G.O.P. B.00:06:05Ahmed keeps pushing the bar yesterday he was quoted as saying Ethiopia has00:06:11a no option but to pursue money tea party democracy and that is in Africa's second00:06:17most populous nation that for decades has been ruled by00:06:21a single coalition to shed light on the matter we have in studio veal we order00:06:28from Africa Service Celeborn about it welcome Salamone Thank you yes and thank you00:06:34Kim for having me multi-party democracy in Ethiopia is it at all possible.00:06:41Why not if Europe is one of. The oldest00:06:48countries in the world as all know we've reach experience of governance and00:06:54civilization and people of European showed that. It's well00:07:01conversant with the ideology or the idea of democracy so it is possible to have00:07:07a multi-party system in the country provided that the dominant party the ruling00:07:14party allows to exercise that right. Over the past twenty00:07:21seven years opposition parties in the country have been made to be we00:07:27neutralized eliminated so how does this scenario going to play in terms of this00:07:33multi-party democracy concept well this talk of parties them is not00:07:40new for Ethiopian soaring Ethiopia we saw in the past twenty seven years when.00:07:48The IF. Rule was. In the country so.00:07:56But the problem the main problem is that the party preferred to take the path of00:08:03dictatorship and. Tried to discourage the parties to00:08:09exercise freely and. Most of the leaders of these parties00:08:16were either arrested or forced to flee the country. That is the problem that the00:08:23country couldn't. Have00:08:25a proper multi-party system but now as you mentioned earlier00:08:32the new reforms. That was a good I mean is that is00:08:37a good characterization Yeah. Prime Minister with new ideas. Promising00:08:44to provide more floor for the opposition parties he doesn't even call them00:08:50opposition parties they call he calls them computers. To give them more00:08:57floor to participate in the political atmosphere so that he has the backing of his00:09:04own party that is something that is something we'll have to wait and see.00:09:11You know most of European satirist to skeptic about the nature of the party.00:09:19But some even say Still it is you know the will of this00:09:26reformist prime minister but there are00:09:29a lot of people in the party that showed their support to this prime minister.00:09:36Leader So for instance the IRA. And or only outgoing and00:09:43the others also expressed their support to the prime minister but we still don't00:09:50know how the vast part of the party the governing front00:09:57to the Prime Minister's moves. So.00:10:04That'll be something that will wait and see it's00:10:07a work in progress so yeah and finally Selam on what should we expect when Prime00:10:12Minister will be visits Washington at the end of this week yeah he will be here in00:10:17Washington D.C.00:10:18On Thursday in two or three days for almost00:10:22a weeklong visit and he will be here in Washington D.C.00:10:28And in Los Angeles in Minnesota he will speak to large gatherings of Europeans and00:10:34if you're going Americans and he will talk to community leaders and religious00:10:39leaders political activists and others intellectuals so he will00:10:46have00:10:47a really busy week it is very exciting week for Ethiopians you know America and it00:10:52is it will be exciting for himself because this is00:10:56a trip. He planned to talk to Ethiopia and this is not00:11:01a state visit to the United States and he vowed to governesses the big support00:11:07amongst Europeans in diaspora and get even some cash00:11:14Yes the diaspora fund that support from the expectations are very high for his00:11:20visit that we're selling more now about that from the always Horn of Africa Service00:11:23thank you for your input thank you for having me.00:11:31Officials say00:11:32a suicide bomber killed up to eight people during morning prayers today at00:11:36a mosque in northeast Nigeria another eight people were injured there was no00:11:41immediate claim of responsibility but suspicion fell on the Boko Haram terror group00:11:46the blast occurred in the main area of Khan do go in Borno state the attacker was00:11:51described as00:11:52a man in his early twenty's who blended in with the worshipers before detonating00:11:57his explosives it was the latest Nic. Of attacks that have been blamed on vocal00:12:02Iran. A Somali military official00:12:09says that the terror group carried out a raid this morning on00:12:14a Somali military base that included two car bombs and a fight00:12:18a fight involving eighty to one hundred militants. A day unit commander with00:12:25Somali forces the son goony camp fifty kilometers north of Kiss my you says for00:12:32soldier then at least eight militants were killed shit Bob claims it overran the00:12:37base and killed twenty seven soldiers Mohammad called dacha Bob's claim baseless00:12:42Mohammad says commanders knew the attack was coming and the car bombs were00:12:47destroyed before they could enter the camp son gooney is the same camp where an00:12:52American soldier was killed back by a notch up by00:12:55a mortar attack last month it's not clear if any U.S.00:13:00Advisers were there in that late is that the act.00:13:08French police moved some four hundred fifty Markland this morning from00:13:12a square and nonce in western France the migrants who were originally from Africa00:13:17were cleared from a square where they had camped out for00:13:20a month authorities moved everyone to00:13:22a hall where their paperwork will be processed authorities have organized emergency00:13:27accommodations for most of the migrants reporter Catherine Field is following00:13:31developments and spoke with me about the clearance operation and why it was00:13:36necessary it was in the Western French city of known to rise in the very center of00:13:42the city police moved in just after dawn and cleared out some four hundred fifty00:13:48migrants to a quite a few males there though quite00:13:51a few unaccompanied minors and women who were travelling on the road there quite00:13:56a few riot police two brigades of riot police went in and cleared the area all of00:14:01the migrants were then taken to00:14:02a nearby official Hola facility where also Artie's had arranged for them to be00:14:09interviewed by the immigration services as well as officials from housing and00:14:13social services now it does all seem as if when trials relatively smoothly but the00:14:18background to it is00:14:19a little more complex the tent city in fact had been set up in that area just over00:14:25a month ago it grew as police were clearing other areas around the city of known00:14:32where migrants had been gathering some two weeks ago the French state asked local00:14:37authorities to clear the area the local mayor said no said that she was not going00:14:42to order police to clear these migrants because she has been in contact with the00:14:48Red Cross who are looking after these migrants the state in fact had to go to court00:14:53last week to get00:14:54a legal ruling that forced the town to clear this particular encampment so it was00:15:00quite00:15:00a backward and forward for the last couple of weeks to get this eerie.
