peacefully they've been demonstrating and armed and they keep repeating that they are an armed and they don't see the point of police and security forces responding using what they said was violence now that was also echoed by the e.u. and the u.n. and the united states they've said that the this sudanese government have been responding using excessive force they say the use of tear gas and live ammunition was not needed against peaceful protesters who were simply trying to voice their demands now people are saying they will not stop protesting more have more protests have been called for today and in the coming days so it's very it's a very tough time for the government and specifically for president bashir this is the biggest challenge his face since he came to power nearly thirty years ago and there is seems to be no solution but yes people are concerned about the way the. police and security forces have been responding especially because some people have lost their lives in the process the home of dr bao because i've been hamid in ca to a house in a constant stream of mourners since he was shot during an anti-government protest on thursday his house has also become

11:05 am
existed today. by god i say it's the regime that killed my son i will never doubt my certainty about it but i get to know what i mean i'm sure they purposefully decided to kill doctors but my sister was arrested with the others they detained this told them that they were specifically looking for doctors who help protest. the type of force being used by the government to quell the protests is adding to the controversy and confusion about the killings the government has employed militia to help the army combat armed groups in sudan for decades what's attracting attention now is militiaman are mosque in their faces while attacking unarmed civilians in the streets of khartoum and other major cities and i think what they what they think it then there is a very dangerous and unprecedented situation now when men in civilian clothes can carry guns battens a mass their faces to confront protesters this proves the existence of
