killed in the five days alone they say that this is not what they have been protesting for this is not what they've been asking they said that when they went to the army headquarters on the sixth of april and demanded that the army take a side they were hoping that the army would side with the civilians and would topple of bashir and his regime and people for a civilian government obviously that is not what has happened the announcement in the afternoon made it very clear that a military council is in control for the next two years and just over an hour ago a military council led by the defense minister all of that was sworn in so right now as it stands for the next two years a military council will be the one leading the country so people are still by the thousands in front of the army headquarters we've heard a few gunshots fired earlier it's not clear if it was directed at the protesters or if it's just to try to scare them away from the army headquarters but the army did issue statements in the past saying that they will not harm civilian lives and they will try to preserve the lives of those in front of the base so it's not clear what stance the army will take right now but as it stands those who have been there for
5:55 am
the past few days are still there very determined to see as the billion transitional government in place rather than a military council and we just saw a picture of that general. being sworn in what one would you mean do we know about him what what is the reason i suppose so many of the protesters have taken against the fact he's a man now in charge. well they're saying that his part and parcel of the old regime he has been with president bashir since her he took over power he was a military intelligence chief he was the chief of staff and he was basically sanctioned by the u.s. in two thousand and seven for crimes in the western region of darfur and let's not forget that president bashir himself is wanted by the international criminal court for work rhymes crimes against humanity and genocide in the western region so it seems like our dignity of our dignity of the current defense minister because effectively the reader in the leader of the country has been part of the regime and
5:56 am
that is what people are objecting to they are saying that this is the first minister the issues defense minister bashir is the vice president is part of the regime part of the ruling party and bet's why they don't want him they wanted to see a new regime completely they want to see new faces new civilians taking over not the military and it seems that again with two years for this transitional transitional council to continue leading the country protests will not end until both sides reach a compromise great to get your thoughts her behavior morgan there live for us in car to offer opponents and supporters the ousting of omar al bashir it marks the end of an era looks back at his thirty year rule. all model bashir a man whose career has been defined by war he led sudan through various conflicts and during the break up of africa's largest country he was the last man to lead a united sudan al bashir who came to power in a bloodless military coup in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine overthrowing

a democratically elected government he ran the country as a military ruler for more than twenty five years where conflict was almost constant . to civil wars between the north and south cost the lives of one and a half million people. and the continuing conflict in the western region of darfur killed more than two hundred thousand people and forced to. million others to flee their homes a fragile peace took hold in two thousand and three and after two years of negotiations the rebels signed a peace deal with the government to end the civil war. that's agreement led to a referendum for independence in south sudan making it the world's newest country in twenty eleven. alba she was the only serving head of state to be indicted for war crimes international criminal court in the hague issued to arrest warrants charges stem from the war in darfur all human rights groups say the charges are
5:58 am
valid or always she has been charged with very serious crimes including the crimes of genocide war crimes and crimes against humanity these are all related to the country's very very abusive counterinsurgency campaign in daraa for over the last ten to fifteen years that has resulted in numerous numerous you know deaths up to you know hundreds of thousands in mass displacement despite arrest warrants and force al bashir has visited a number of countries in the region including syria. while the rest of the region have been experiencing an arab spring al bashir had faced little political unrest until late twenty eighteen when the government decided to triple the price of bread. it triggered protests nationwide and calls for his resignation as they accuse him of mismanaging the economy sending food prices high and causing regular fuel shortages all muddled bashir would have served as
5:59 am
president until the end of his term next year but now he'll be remembered as one of the last remaining african strong men brought down by a people's uprising sort of al-jazeera. well for more where the events of today have left and we're going to talk to alvin young who is the director of africana studies at drexel university joins us live from philadelphia thanks very much for coming on so. i just want to told you first of all about what's going on i suppose on the streets we torture a protest here about an hour ago who basically said there's no way we can accept this new situation because the new man in charge is just being sworn in is just more of the saying what i want to ask can happen now where the protests can be accepting this new situation that could now go on for two years is acceptable
6:00 am
i mean i think tonight it's a very important i mean the history of sudan i mean first of all we have to give credit to the protesters and their incredible organization and the sudanese professional association and making this change possible but tonight from everything i've heard and read and seen so far protesters and members of the street are defying the curfew and i think this is going to be a large task for the regime and an oath and his legitimacy and whether or not he is able to clear the streets. and drive the porter approach and drive the demonstrators and protesters and those who have brought about the change. from the streets of khartoum but i don't think you'll be able to do it i mean how worried should we be it seemed as a helper morgan our correspondent was telling us a little earlier that a lot of people are still heading down to that the military hike command the main headquarters for the military they're not going home there is a curfew in place so they are defying then.
