I will ask two final questions, the first of which is on the role of outside actors. The UAE and others have been mentioned as playing a major part in the situation. Do the witnesses have any comment to make on this?

Second, what is the possibility of legal proceedings further down the road? They would be a long way away, but would the threat of such proceedings have an impact now if it was highlighted more that the people leading and responsible for these atrocities could be brought to justice?
