wanted a new regime want to topple the current three g. police responded using tear gas and live ammunition president bashir said he's going to try to introduce a new policy the new reforms to improve the economy for the people the people protesting said they've been there before but they've heard these promises the only thing they want new with a new government and a new regime amnesty international says they just given people have been killed before yesterday's source says now with the police using tear gas and live ammunition there are concerns that the number of people who have died during the process will increase we've already heard reports of people injured during the protest people who have sustained bullets injuries and were hospitalized some of them in critical conditions it's not clear where these protests will and the people are saying that the only thing they want is a peep at the president to go and the president said he is not going to step down but he will try to introduce a new reforms so at the moment the benefit of course hard to keep the protesters one thing that they want a new government and the president was defiant and wants to stand hanging on to

power people morgan for inside story. all right let's bring in our panel joining us on skype from norwich saga of the chilean president of the sudan doctors association in the united kingdom from her film half as mohamad director of justice africa and from the are on skype has george kuka a member of your if not a nonviolent resistance movement in sudan welcome to the program has a let me start with you so president bashir first is promising reforms and then he's calling these protesters traitors what does that say to you about what he will be willing to do going forward. i mean at this point specially with yesterday like we're coming out of this great high this was the best the strongest nonviolent protests we had ever and we're unique that so at this point we don't want to hear from as an arm or bashir and we know that he has nothing to offer us so at this

point we just we just want him gone and we want to talk about what is next. however this all began of course with protesters enraged over the price of fuel and bread are you surprised that this has gone on that these protesters have taken the kind of shape that they have and that now protesters are demanding the resignation of president bush. i think this is a combination of both of problems which is many sudanese have piercing for a long time you know do say you have been in power for thirty years to end the problems which is it seems to be economic which is economical which is of. a problem a few relation but that is the manifestation of the deep problem which is the underlying cause of the political problem the manifestation of problem and failure

to run the country for the wrong time i think blaming others for the crisis i don't think it's acceptable and this series of conspiracy i don't think anyone would but you because you've been in power for thirty it's you it is your responsibility as everyone is ask you and these people.
