those security elements fragment and you see chaos unfolding in the country i think again you need not only that that international consensus to form to prevent that from happening but any civilian led transition or indeed any transition needs to meet to the aspirations that the sudanese people have been expressing for some for some months and weeks and indeed as we just heard from your correspondent continue to express even at this hour after the announcement of bashir removal from power very grateful for your thoughts and for joining us pay to not speaking from the united states institute of peace. now a court in london has convicted the founder of wiki leaks for skipping bail and twenty twelve going to pleaded not guilty faces up to twelve months in prison for the challenge earlier the forty seven year old was dropped from the ecuadorian embassy
4:01 am
by police after ecuador's government revote his asylum status challenge reports from london. they've been waiting a long time but seven years after julian assange should first enter the ecuador's london embassy to escape the british legal system police offices home again ecuador finally tired of its troublesome guest and revoked his right to asylum within hours he was in a u.k. court and the u.s. confirmed it wants him extradited i just claim with mr sanchez in the police cells he wants to thank you for all of his support is for their ongoing civil wars and he said i told you so the wiki leaks founder always said if he left his ambassadorial refuge he'd spend years in jail in the us he's wanted there for publishing government secrets but to a sandra's fans some high profile he's a courageous whistleblower because he's been told she did not and will say this health has been undermined in all this stuff but fortunately he has brain and
4:02 am
his muse distancing the spot principles are missing debbie to have never away from you know and he's afraid to reply to julian a song has his supporters here in the u.k. but the district judge here in this case was not one of them he said that a sound his behavior was that of a narcissist you cannot go beyond his own self interest in finding guilty of the charge of skipping bail back in twenty twelve and has sent his case to the crown court to the sentencing to more serious extradition process will get under way at the beginning of may in twenty ten wiki leaks published footage provided by whistleblower chelsea manning of u.s. soldiers killing civilians in iraq the u.s. said the hack posed a grave security risk but the website also leaked e-mails from the inbox of ecuador's president and first lady sanders hosts words amused by people who think of us as the patients of ecuador has reached its limits on the behavior of mr song
4:03 am
he installed electronic and distortion equipment that was a. that's allowed he blocked the security cameras of the ecuadorian mission in london he has confronted and mistreated guards he had access to the security files of our embassy without permission other former supporters won't forgive him for the twenty sixteen us election they think the wiki leaks publication of democratic party e-mails may have tipped it for donald trump and even though sweden has dropped sex assault prosecutions that led to his first u.k. arrest for some he'll remain a suspected rapist chalons how to zero london well let's get more on the challenges a scientist facing with us correspondent she had her sound safe in washington d.c. help us was he actually being indicted for. so the trouble that assertion thinks it's found a way that the obama era prosecutors couldn't that is charged without also criminalizing the act of journalism that is publishing classified information that
4:04 am
shows wrongdoing human rights abuses war crimes and that what they say is one count of hocking conspiracy to commit computer intrusion but conspiracy to commit hacking and the conspiracy takes up takes three forms firstly encouraging chelsea manning to leak more information and then protecting chelsea manning's identity so far it basically looks like journalism and that's what it's got a lot of journalists and civil liberties groups rather worried about this this doesn't seem to be anything other than journalism not criminal behavior but on the third part is the trump lawyers think they've got a sound and it relies on four words no luck so far and the prosecutors are saying vat is a reference to attempt was making to actively break apart that chelsea manning have given julian assange to break into some sort of the department of defense computer unfortunately you know anyone looking at it doesn't give us any
4:05 am
more information they just have that forwards and i say take our word for it that shows that he was trying to hack into d.o.d. computers it's then stuff tough for. extradition judge to think about whether this is going to set a precedent for any journalist to be extradited by any country that doesn't like what they're publishing interestingly donald trump ingvar other circumspect about this he's been a huge fan of wiki leaks call for a wiki leaks publish a great deal of dirt on hillary clinton showing that hillary clinton was trying to rig the primary elections against bernie sanders in twenty sixteen but now he's rather circumspect and that might reflect all the people around him might compare john bolton all these national security hawks who do want to send a message to journalists if you leak information about will crimes or anything else will get you many thanks you have a chance a than a. still to come on al-jazeera. the choices we face are stock and the time table is clear one day after meeting the e.u. prime minister theresa may tells the u.k. and peace time is running out to strike up next

4:07 am
warmer temperatures across much of eastern libya you can see here by ghazi those temperatures reaching to about twenty seven degrees that's all because we are getting a slowly breeze there but it's only going to last here on friday by the time we get to saturday that area of low pressure begins to make its way towards the east we start to get more of a northerly breeze so you can be dropping to about eighteen degrees there but over here towards parts of egypt you're going to be seeing the heat as those winds come out of the south for us one attempt a few of thirty seven for cairo attempt to them of thirty four. twenty one an h. to assert your individuality it's ok to argue with people and it's ok to disagree with people but also a period when childhood dreams can clash with reality compromising i don't think i'm pretty good at compromising in two thousand and six south africa up revisits the children of apartheid for the third time and like their country much has
4:08 am
changed over the past fourteen years not to have twenty one up south africa amount to seen. welcome back reminder of the top stories here on al-jazeera tens of thousands of people have been celebrating on the streets after a thirty year rule of sudan's president was brought down by a military coup and all bashir was arrested under the chick council will now run the country for a two year transitional period he's been replaced by vice president and army general acma dowered and the military council will run the country for a two year transitional period to downs' main protest group has rejected the plan

4:10 am
for his part is not ruling out a possible third summit with the north korean leader kim jong il and it is the challenge now for the south korean leader to try and bring the two sides together because as you pointed out the talks have stalled after that failed summit hanoi something that donald trump denies in fact he said there's an awful lot of optimism he defended the slow pace saying this is a step by step process still he rejected any suggestion that he should lift sanctions to restart talks we want sanctions to remain in place and frankly i have the option of significantly increasing their mothers want to do that because of my relationship with kim jong un i did not want to do that i didn't think it was necessary as you know a couple of weeks ago i held it back but i think that sanctions or break down at a level that's a fair level and i really believe something very significant is going to happen we could always increase them but i didn't want to do that at this time. now the north
4:11 am
for its part is putting a lot of pressure on the south korean leader to try and convince donald trump to talk even suggesting the potential of if there are steps to denuclearize asia not complete to new denuclearization that there could even be some joint economic partnerships between the north and the south but so far it doesn't appear that the trumpet ministration is accepting those offers in fact just the opposite donald trump saying today the oval office small deals could happen but right now he's focused on the big deal denuclearization of the korean peninsula thank you can be held at the white house. the united states has denied entry to a palestinian activist who helped start the campaign to divest unborn course israel . co-founded the b.d.s. movement calls for boycott divestment and sanctions to pressure israeli policies

4:13 am
today this is not the normal way of british politics and it is uncomfortable for many in both the government and opposition parties the six month brags that extension the e.u. has given the u.k. was longer than mrs may had wanted but shorter than that suggested by european commission president jiang toward younker and other leaders the compromise was because of french president emmanuel mccrum he'd said a long delay would undermine the project of european integration. u.k. opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn described the need for a second extension to bragg's it as a diplomatic failure but he said he was committed to continue talks with the government labor will continue to engage constructively in talks because we respect the result of the referendum and we are committed to defending jobs industry and living standards by delivering a close economic relationship with the european union and securing frictionless

trade with improved rights and standards mr korwin also left open the option of calling for a referendum on any deal with greed with the government if the political parties agree a way forward then the u.k. could avoid taking part in european parliamentary elections and leave the e.u. before the october thirty first deadline even if both sides do find some way of coming together the e.u. withdrawal deal will still contain a clause guaranteeing an open border between northern ireland and the irish republic whatever happens in future e.u. u.k. negotiations and it's this backstop that has prevented previous attempts by the prime minister to get a deal through parliament and so far there's no indication that m.p.'s will be any less divided on this in six months and they are now. bernard smith al-jazeera. german chemical group says it is considering its legal options for a french court ruled in favor of

4:21 am
stay with us here on al-jazeera the stream is coming up next. today i major turning point in sudan's revolution after months of street protests president on one of the shooter sturdy years in power to an end so what's next tweet us or leave your comments in our live chat and you'll be in the stream. there is a sudanese defense minister general how dramatically announced that sudan's president
4:22 am
omar bashir had been arrested and removed from power ivanov also declared the constitution suspended and said the country would be ruled by the military for two years as the news broke tens of thousands of people took to the streets of the capital khartoum and jubilation. it came too late we've all been under israel for thirty years and feel the step came too late but everyone is happy no. none of these this revolution was achieved by the people. and only those two sources. say i'm going to. everyone will work for a better united sudan sudan is suffering from economic hardship. there are those who aren't so happy by the military action and say this is nothing more than a regime orchestrated who are joining us to discuss this from stafford virginia is sudanese journalist. and hard doomed ruby is a member of the sudanese congress party and here in our studio ahmed could do
4:23 am
a ph d. student at george washington university welcome to the stream everyone it's good to have you here let's start with the sentiment in sudan summed up for many by this tweet on my laptop this is from inside it's a bittersweet day it had the potential to be the greatest day in our lives the sudanese but unfortunately we are still ruled by the military so there's a lot of work to be done by people at the sit in but then there's an aside here he wants us to still know we are happy bashir is gone for good. describe for us what that moment when the defense minister announced the toppling of the regime unquote what was that like for you. i mean i think the build up to it was more a story. we woke up pretty early in the morning thinking that we're going to hear some great news it took six hours we had the t.v. on and unfortunately we were faced with. an actually
4:24 am
a us sanctioned. i'll show. from two thousand and seven and he's telling us that you know this is transition two years of military regime as if nothing that we have said for years and now for the past six days and from across four months actually matters and i think it angered a lot of us and we had a lot of hope at the beginning i mean the streets of up to here where. it was just incredible i don't think any of us will forget will forget these few hours we went spontaneously we went with so much hope. all from all walks of life coming in to gather we've got understanding that this is that we're going to see the real change that we're standing up for and it is unfortunate what's happening but what what's important is that we've. lost the result we have no intention of backing down we hope. we don't hope we actually know that change will happen i'm being emotional i
4:25 am
know but change will happen because i think we deserve it and i think that the use of spoken very clearly for all these months it's not the time to back down. yet and i think yeah i it's a it's a i think it's kind of a very what's the word it's a very it's a very confusing but time but there's still hope there's there's still a lot of determination i think that the statement that announcement was a lot of a lot of determination right then more of a kind of push back the more we're actually pushing forward and insisting. we will be going forward and i think that it's very inspirational to see especially the youth who have been born actually after that came and to see them so inspirationally leading the way and showing us that their willing to fight all the way for change peacefully fight for change right was an inspiration and then being
4:26 am
the ruling party there you spoke about the youth and i'd actually like to hear from one of those here because actually still there in the sit in as we speak actually sent us an audio comment on on why she's there and how she's feeling and i think what you are talking about is some of those emotions the hope and the anger as represented in her comment have a listen. good evening this is an abraham from sudan hard time reporting from. sittin in front of the general command of the armed forces headquarters we're still here we're still angry we're still frustrated we're not happy we're not satisfied with the outcome of the. what we could only call a recycling of the same regime that we've taking out to the streets against and we will be here until we get our demands and the committees on the ground are urging activists to stay away from being too noticeable which is why you didn't see her base and that comment there but often to talk to us about the emotions that that
4:27 am
you just heard from valley and you heard from the protester there at the sit in that kind of rollercoaster ride i think there's a lot of highs and lows people anticipated a total transformation because the demands have been very clear from the beginning people have said we want the regime to collapse we don't want an alternative that is a face lift to the regime and unfortunately the announcement itself what it showed us is that the region was so strategically in basically recreating itself it may also announced the four major elements of the regime or the pillars of support which are the military the nys with its current head the police and the rapid support forces the ourself this is a militia bashir created in the wake of the door for conflict or genocide. to support his regime now these four pillars basically are still in power but without the facade which is the few individuals that were arrested i think there
4:28 am
were a couple of things that many people work spectating for example the movement that actually spearheaded the transformation the professional association was completely sidelined and ignored by the military. this was the movement that actually forced the military to make this move along were you expecting what like a nod to validate that that absolutely meant well you know that's them absolutely people expected that this movement that brought us here needs to be a part of this moment and they weren't which was a huge disappointment and i think that at this stage people are not going to accept anything short of a full inclusion of the civilian opposition parties there are these signatories to the freedom and chain charter which was written by the professionals and signed by the vast majority of the civilian and some of the armed opposition groups in fact
4:29 am
in the unified behind this movement unfortunately they're not playing a role at the stage which is very disappointing so before we go too much further is i'm hoping you can tell us a little bit more about this minister of defense we have this week from oh say from dina former stream gas and a member of the diaspora he says this is a symptom of larger issues lack of strong institutions and political accurate and this is a bad remakes to the sheriff team and an insult to the sudanese people the defense minister was handpicked by al bashir after the revolution began and he's an alleged war criminal so what do we know about general i would have been as mine. who has it been a long time member of the military and the government was there also. and if you don't mind for some time. he will be close part of the issues close circle of allies and that's why he was brought in and the shortly after the
4:30 am
bashir step where the speech to be closer within the circles system. so i mean he was hand-picked in the anticipation i believe can be here for changes that were coming and. you know this this seems to be just the shuttle arrangement of heads of government rather than any genuine transformation or. acknowledgment of the necessity of transition into something new. so i wanted to share this because there are so many tweets on him and what this means khalid he writes changing faces doesn't change the character of a regime and so i think better to sum that up than this gift that a circulating online this is all of the ad which we did at the resemblance is impeccable the sickly and figuratively so slight tongue in cheek there but it is
4:31 am
a guess that is transposing on it but she enters a photo with jenna general even a house photo and you can see what people online feel about this does that surprise you at all that you have the fact that this is what happened this is what is replacing how many bishop. i think that development of the pride were. related to how much regard they had the word that awareness and political knowledge of the people in the street today. met and pointed out i mean that history the history of the sport that are being as part of the transition as well and i wouldn't tell we all a lot of people know about it and a lot of people have not not not know our expectation to follow it but i kind of wanted to go back to what i meant or thing. related to there. to the sorry i keep forgetting i meant related to the declaration yeah so really it's
4:32 am
exactly ration. i would say i would kind of slightly disagree that that there hasn't been enough that been done the declaration the forces the signatories of the declaration went in on the eighth of april with their statement asking for five specific things number one is obviously the toppling of the regime or of of bashir as well of the other points these this statement was read out in the sit in the first day or the eighth and ninth as well as today. and people got a lot of you know they recognize that they've heard it and they've supported it and today they actually did a very clear call for people not to go home and the system to continue until until the transition actually happens and i think it's very important for us to point out that there is an actual collective body with the professional association in it but as well as said the sudan poland and civil society alliance and
4:33 am
others the national national union is one of. the conversation the conversation has been always kind of undermining the strength of this umbrella and how how much more clarity that we actually have on transition and i don't think people are recognizing that there is there is a lot of court. it's been done for the past few months and now they're. ordered for more civilian. agent an actual transition that does not have to end this extremely militant process for two years. there is there's definitely room for that this this alliance or these forces have the position to speak internationally are really going to amend as well as. military terms yeah i just i mean just to reiterate the point i was trying to make is that the military itself did not take these forces into account that is absolutely right the actors played a very central role they help mobilize people they help organize people they help
4:34 am
people help people get on the streets and vocalize their demands but the military ignored that completely i mean more or less it said that we're going to take over the state we're going to dissolve the government arrest a few folks and hold on to power for two years that is not something that the signatories for the freedom and change charter are calling for and they're not accepting it as dahlia said very accurately they're not going to go away they're going to continue the protests and hopefully be able to materialize some sort of real change because i think what we risk is a situation similar to that of egypt after two thousand and eleven where the people came out on the streets there was real mobilization but the military basically co-opted that created the sort of transitional period and was able to recreate the region and that's a fear that we really worry about. you know yeah i mean i think there's some people
4:35 am
also went to completely true. you know the protesters had high hopes in in the army as historical national institution that went into being on their sides. that that perception i think is a little bit naive it may be true for the junior officers for the middle range officers but you know bashir who has been a part of the army for a very long time and knows the army very well. and he is a shoot politician and i think it's a mistake to underestimate. how he should miss his ability to build alliances and just survive for thirty years and you know that's that's not immediate us. you know it is it isn't that surprising i think see. the way things are going on you know this is
4:36 am
a high amount quite risky right right so. that the army would have intervened on behalf of the people i think really needs to be. reassessed i think it will take more than just you know protest or to you know again this is the government has been in power for very long time has interests the army has its interest interests security apparatus has trench interest in the state in amik ri and so forth like egypt. so i think it's going to take more then. then you know the protests that we see and it's going to be a longer better right i wouldn't say that it's i mean i i totally agree with you somalia but i think there was a very clear position from these actors saying we don't want you to replace bashir
4:37 am
we want you to remove bashir and lay the groundwork for a transitional process and i think that's what you're alluding to. but there's something else i think the point that most people kind of overlook is that the military for the past several decades has been the region right so we want to see when we talk about you know changing the regime we're actually asking a central pillar of the region to actually create a transformation in which it's going to remove itself from the center of power and that's very difficult and i think that's what it's about it was alluding to it's very dangerous one other point i want to add is that. historically. there have been four coups prior to this one every cuckoo was very seamless for the simple fact that when the military spoke things were final in fact when the defense minister spoke things were final but what did we see today we we saw
4:38 am
a six hour delay in which there were a lot of you know people want to wear of what's happening and the result of the amount smith showed us that basically it was obvious that the military had to get the ok of the nys the ok of you are a self and other security apparatuses and that is where bashir was talking about this he was so strategic in making sure that there's a balance of power between those who have the monopoly over violence right and at the end of the day he's actually in a much safer position today than he would have been if there was a change in the structure of the regime so i think that is a fascinating point and that i hear you trying to get in i wanted to you know i want to raise i want to bring up a couple of tweets from our viewers though because you all have mentioned several things that are making our viewers go this sounds familiar so we have several people from zimbabwe chime in this is just one this is neighbor who says the sudanese people need to learn from what happened in zimbabwe and make sure the entire regime is going out for good the military need to protect the people during
4:39 am
this transition moment not take over power there must be a change in the regime to bring about change we also have several tweets from egypt in other places around the world to people trying to give some advice to the sudanese protesters but tell you what if you want to. i kind of want to go back to the point though that he made about that particular creation toward the military i think that and it was going to happen having throughout that being that a lot of people who are kind of a bit demoralized about the news and announcement. before prior to departure big behave we had no expectation of protection or or. any sort of responsible behavior toward the protests there and indeed big big hit on the country we were actually quite afraid of all uniformed and uniformed militia including the army. and the public they've been you know i wouldn't say they'd but it would be the images of the army helping open and you know and protecting us have
4:40 am
been problematic because the kind of people expectation of something that we've endured for three periods which is that they're not here to protect that even if individual where doing that out of even inspiration we can expect so much out of the military that has systematically killed death and been violent and brutal towards us and i think as you pointed out it is it's kind of a naive expectation to say that these six days are going to somehow delete this trail of of the harm that they've done and as i say it's all the protesters that i spoke to today is that you know just delete the six days and they expect ation that you have to go back to the same fear you had not fear but the same expectation they had six days ago which is that there is no one out there out of this regime that will actually help us or protect us and they have the same commitment six days ago on the contrary to what the even scarier because they were less numbers and they
4:41 am
were less you know i mean there was a lot of numbers but not as much as they say and i think that we have to be very harsh with ourselves and very honest with the fact that we are actually in you know not in this with the military there are no good guys in that in that mix. i know it might be a cynical picture but this is i think what's happening and we have to we have to realize the history of these people and i hear people online saying actually it's realistic thing you mentioned the expectations of a few days ago so i want to take our viewers back just a few days really so much has happened to this photo this is one that was circulated very widely it was taken by a photographer atlanta her own and you can see a woman on top of a car and this woman actually is twenty two year old student. take a look at what these protests look like just a few days ago. i. was . out.
4:42 am
on a background they are chanting throw it out revolution at the point the woman in that photo tweeted this she said sudanese women have always participated in revolutions in this country if you see sudan's history all our queens have led the state it's part of our heritage i'm very proud to take part in this revolution and i'm glad our revolution has achieved its first goal resigns but it's my it of course as i mentioned this is happened before this is not the first popular uprising so based on history what do we know of history that tells us what should happen next it's my right i mean that's that's the important question and she learned this. in a cycle so if you leave the three governments and great two hundred fifty six. it's not the first time first uprising it was a military government in one nine hundred sixty four in the region and then again
4:43 am
in ninety five i think the question should be in the. organizers is if. become if someone comes out of this into a genuine civilian government how can politicians how care activists avoid same mistakes that were made in sixty four in one nine hundred eighty five b m i think that's the bigger question there's been this cycle a failure or that he is author of called addiction to failure i think that's something that we also need to keep in mind i mean that goes wrong it's not just getting rid of bashir it it's about caring without the military it's creating a genuine political culture that allows for the exchange of ideas for peaceful exchange of powers where also baronies of different backgrounds can construct in building their country. i thought i kind of yeah i'd like to have kind of respond
4:44 am
to the rest of my and i think that there's a lot of you know there's a there's a similarity between our two previous into partners but i think there is there is there are some some effect some factory thing on the other i think for those who don't think i'm sorry ok go ahead ari yes so. i think what i have spoken to a few people. with with the armed rebel groups yeah. it's obviously like anything and i rebel groups. that one of the things that they were saying is that this this change this time is that the participation of these groups. from the beginning as opposed to the last two and those which it was kind of let's get the revolution going finish it and let it go at the table and discuss peace and and doing war and i think this time it's very different from day one that
4:45 am
these groups are part of a part of this this process and there's there's definitely at the agenda the number one priority in the transition period for the for the the war issues and i think in the past and there has been challenges because of that because you know obviously development a lot happen without peace and peace is at the forefront of this revolution i'm hopeful that this this will actually make it a much stronger stronger process for the future and more long lasting i think the representation of are definitely not the right that he and i am just friends and i'm so sorry i thought i'm so sorry and that you have because there are so much more to discuss more than thirty years in power for a minute that she had and of course there's only one show that we can do today but this conversation will continue online hashtag a.j. stream i want to end with this tweet from basic sosa who says we will continue to protest until this regime ends once and for all it's hard but we will do it enough

4:48 am
a fantastic job when information is coming in very quickly all at once you've got to be able to react to all of the changes and al-jazeera we adapt to that. my job is is to break it all down and we held the view on the stand and make sense of it. a military career and sit down for sas to celebrate the ousting of president omar al bashir. there's uncertainty over what happens next. hour i'm certain this is al jazeera life from london also coming up
4:49 am
a victim and under arrest for hearings founder julian assange he's dragged from the ecuadorian embassy in london and convicted in court on the world's biggest election indian style voting in a major popularity test for the ruling be j.p. . the thirty year rule of sudan's president is over after a military coup a curfew imposed by the army has just come into force omar al bashir was arrested and this being detained in what's been described as a safe place he's been replaced by vice president and army general but i would ever have and the military council will run the country for a two year transitional period a three month state of emergency has been declared and a curfew has been imposed until four am so dan's main protest group rejected the statement and called for demonstrations to continue despite tens of thousands
4:50 am
celebrating on the streets here morgan has more from khartoum. this was how the end of thirty years of rule looked when president obama to be sure was deposed by his vice president and defense minister tanks trental through the capital cheered on by protesters followed by an announcement on state t.v. students forty million people had waited six hours to hear. being the minister of the ferns the chairman of the committee to get rid of this regime. the head of the regime in a safe place i also declare the formation of a murder trail transitional council. why is the to me year of period. more than one hundred eight and others here have been arrested and political prisoners released someone is a protester who was arrested by sudan's intelligence agents in january. it's
4:51 am
a lot of emotion or you're like everyone in the super law everyone will. finally be hope for the country. higher bread prices provoked the first protests four months ago they quickly expanded into demands for the president to end his thirty year rule declared a state of emergency in february introduced a revolt against him but since saturday thousands of demonstrators have been camped outside the military headquarters in the tomb near the president's official residence at least twenty one people were killed when security forces tried to break up the sit in six of the dead are reported to be soldiers who intervened to defend the protesters from security forces the military high command has said it understands the demands for the shield to go and is also determined not to allow chaos what happened in the last twenty four hours it was obvious that the people the demand has increased the number of participants of the people has infused as
4:52 am
well there was more. action to the military in part of the leadership in particular and i think that put more pressure on the military institution as a whole for that reason i think they felt the heat and they have to make action i. but the takeover is unwelcome by some protesters on the streets who say they want to accept and military transitional government a sentiment echoed by some opposition leaders that. the statement made by the minister of defense is categorically rejected by us we will not accept a half victory we need a whole and complete victory as anticipated and wanted by our martyrs so we have decided to continue the sitting in front of the general command headquarters the citizens will also continue to take to the streets here in the capital and everywhere nationwide don't be scared and don't retreat we will continue our path until the end. many sudanese fear that with al bashir gone and many rejecting the
4:53 am
new government there could well be that chaos army commanders want to avoid. and have a joins us now live from. four minutes into this curfew do you think people are going to respect on the ground. well so at the moment it's not over it doesn't look like that's going to happen people are still in front of the army headquarters although an announcement has been made on state television by the interim military council which is currently running the country that the curfew has effectively been put in place and that people should leave the army headquarters and go back to their homes there are thousands and thousands of people who have been pouring into the army headquarters initially to celebrate the expected announcement that president bashir is no longer ruling the country after thirty years but eventually after after they heard this statement they were no longer happy and it turned into anger and people are saying that this is the second step of the uprising and they are going to try to make sure that whatever happens they're not being they're not going to be run by another military official so at
4:54 am
the moment it doesn't look like people are listening to the military council despite the announcement of a curfew in place but it's not clear what kind of force that the military will take to try to disperse them over the past few days when we've seen five days of sit in front of the army headquarters the army has issued statements saying that they will try to preserve the lives of those in front of the army headquarters in the city but it's not clear yet if that is still going to be the case because earlier just before the curfew took took effect they were saying that they want to make sure that no matter what happens nobody is in front of the army headquarters when the curfew takes effect. on this now effectively in charge john arkwright our even our friend is a new name to many people across the world but it's not new to the sudanese easy. no he's not really he's actually part of parcel of the old regime he was the former military intelligence officer and he was also the chairman of the joint chiefs of
4:55 am
staff for us today he is also on the u.s. sanctions for who sanctioned by the u.s. in two thousand and seven for crimes for president bashir himself was also indicted by the international criminal court for work crimes crimes against humanity and genocide and are for now ignore of who is now the leader of the country and has been sworn in just a few minutes ago as the head of the military council he is also wanted he is sorry he was and sanctions left by the u.s. for crimes and are for and has been the vice president in two thousand and fifteen he was relieved a few years after but he was also brought back in the latest reshuffle of the government so he's not really an old figure he's part of the regime and this is why people are still in front of the army headquarters saying that they've been protesting for four months not for the been demanding a civilian rule they want to see a new government in new face a new transition that's not being led by people who are from bashir is government and at the moment it doesn't look like this is happening so many thanks here there
4:56 am
live for us in cult to where we're going to talk to a sudanese protesting now now while she joins me on the phone again from khartoum thanks very much for talking to al-jazeera i just first of all want to ask you about the fact that we are now seven minutes into this curfew do you think most of the demonstrators yourself included are going to respect the few. thank you no i don't think so. this this. action and this military coup has put more futile feelings to the to the course this this and the people of sudan now that are more determined to continue on this action and to continue with their demonstrations in front of the military headquarters there and they're not going to leave it is what they say so when the then the general now in charge comes on television and tells the world there's been
4:57 am
a change and in power as a new there's a new person in charge now that will be a transitional government do you do you respect that that is going to happen. of course not not not not no nobody's going to believe that this is listen to me this is that this is an obvious game that is being ordered or and of course p.t.c. between the the guys who are friends and watergate did. this non is that it does but she is and he's. and he's the minister of defense and. this action is being refused by everybody in this to that and and they they they had made them more angry and more determined and they're going to continue no matter what and that is that they did not between the among the the the armies to then the armed forces. and now they want because if they if the
4:58 am
demonstrators if that's the headquarters now is that going to put those who are like supporting them from the military in the risk then a great risk so now we have spoken to it talking about risk nobody wants this to turn into bloodshed wolf is it that different the demonstrators now want to happen if they're not happy with the generals in charge who is it that can take hold of this and make sure the reason for the bloodshed and the does mean that's part of the of the military forces who are supporting them we've had that they the leader of the sudanese congress party is now saying he wants a military coup to meet with the revolutionary forces to try and come up with some social transitional authority would that placate people if the minute you were willing to sit down with the leaders know them of going to accept that them of
4:59 am
going to accept that all odds. and there the man out already very well known and this action actually what has happened now it has it had just met this is many people who are feeling more angry because it demeaned them and because like degraded them there they have the man and it is it is an obvious game between those people who are in power now and there and they they're not going to step down they're not going to do it to you know to do you know they're not going to stop what they're doing they're going to make it more and they don't care actually they don't care you know they said we've even if you have to die we have to die and actually a good day. there is a leak from ma they did a meeting between there but he then of not who had advice and bashir the u.n. chemical and what one when he people it's ok well we how we really hope that doesn't happen when we're very grateful for getting your thoughts now we'll sit in
5:00 am
