to their villages and towns which have returned to government control after years of fighting worsening conditions in the camp is why almost two thousand people left even if it meant returning to their homes without security guarantees and although . the situation is horrible there is no aid our children have been deprived of an education we want to go back to our hometowns the campus surrounded by syrian government forces but it lies within a so-called de confliction zone agreed to by the u.s. and russia and american military bases nearby at elton if it is close to the road between damascus and baghdad once a major supply route for iranian weapons into syria the syrian government and its allies want u.s. forces to leave the. spine.

alternately. russia repeatedly blames the us for preventing syrians from leaving the camp and blocking a delivery accusations the us military denies russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says the solution is to end what he calls the american occupation. the americans unilaterally announced the creation of some kind of safe zone in the region with a radius of fifty five kilometers it's unclear how they explain the unlawful presence there the occupation is inside the site zone the un unhindered access to the camp to provide life saving aid many of the displaced won't leave without international security guarantees afraid of what awaits them in government held areas human rights groups have reported arbitrary arrests and forced conscription in the army. we are going back to live under the regime the regime can't be trusted

they want they can open the road to the north so we can leave but russia and syria are not offering safe passage to rebel held areas the u.s. and human rights groups are accusing the proto baskets alliance of using bad to force american troops out of the area that seems unlikely because there is no indication of the americans leaving what is likely is worsening humanitarian conditions for tens of thousands of syrians who many say are bargaining chips in a struggle for power. beirut. at least five civilians have been killed by rocket fire and showing west of libya's capital tripoli fighting between forces loyal to warlords and those of the u.n. backed government has been going week civilian casualties are adding to the worries . they fear the fighting could reach their neighborhoods have reports. that play day for abraham in his barbershop since fighting erupted on the southern

long before the sanctions but the u.s. strategy is designed to provoke the total collapse of what it sees as the enemy. the u.s. treasury department has designated not just venezuela's vital oil industry but its entire banking sector as a target of u.s. sanctions and that makes venezuela almost untouchable for companies and banks the do business with the united states this is part of one of venezuela's main ports for bringing in everything from food to fertilizer to manufactured goods but as you can see there is very little activity here according to the government this is because u.s. financial sanctions. our scaring off shipping companies and those who do venture to dock here are charging a premium. the sanctions are of course taking a toll on that israel is already crumbling economy and on ordinary citizens the theory being that they will provoke a painful but

a relatively quick ouster of president nicolas maduro. recent history however disproves this theory. look at the sanctions against cuba they remove the castro no they only hurt the lives of the cubans they remove assad in syria that they take out saddam in iraq or in zimbabwe know that you get rid of all of them because you applied sanctions no. in fact in the last three months the government has been busy finding ways to circumvent the sanctions and israel is foreign minister travelling the world over closing economic cooperation deals in countries like turkey syria and south africa out of reach of sanctions. not to mention military and oil industry feels with russia. this sense of an israel or was isolated when nothing could be further from the truth we are working hard to diversify our commercial ties with all the countries there was much bigger than the united states

and it's not the fifty countries that follow washington's orders. these efforts are unlikely to reverse the profound economic crisis but could give me more room to maneuver the u.s. vols to tighten the financial news even further but if that doesn't work the united states could be tempted to resort to other more direct methods of obtaining regime change with all that they imply. you see in human agassi that what it took at the field and israel. the united states has denied entry to prominent palestinian activist ahmed about a whole team despite him having of these three co-founded the boycott divestment and sanctions movement he was prevented from boarding a plane in tel aviv he was due to speak at several venues including a chicago synagogue and attendees daughter's wedding u.s. officials say the refusal was based on an immigration matter. u.s.

headlines the news continues after inside story. given the problem for you don't count it out but he laid out how about the old question mark over it but he does have a corruption question mark over him join me many are some on our from of my guests from all the world take the hot seat and we debate the week's top stories and big issues here on al-jazeera. a new era in the sudan following mass protests the military council is to rule the country after its former president's removal and arrest a two year transitional periods will be in place but how smooth is that likely to be and does that satisfy the protesters this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program i'm how he had seen in sudan protesters have been

calling for a complete change of the political system what they've goatse is an end to the thirty year rule of omar al bashir through a military coup but the alternative is unlikely to satisfy many as defense minister says omar al bashir was removed and arrested and the army will not be in charge for the next two years the constitution has been suspended parliament's the central government and regional governments have all been dissolved and a state of emergency has been declared this is what the defense minister had to say . the supreme committee decided to employ a man and what was not in the mind of other people and acts as ishmael period of two years the forces will take power with the representation of the

people to. pave the way for the sudanese people to live in dignity and here i declare in my capacity as the defense minister churman of the supreme committee to get rid of this the regime and to arrest the head of the regime in a safe place and claire being the minister of defense the chairman of the committee to get rid of this regime and to rest the head of the regime in a safe place i also declare the formation of a mediterranean transitional council to supervise the to be a year of period. to cancel the constitution of sudan phone two thousand and five. to declare the state of emergency for three months

and man in one month. from ten the evening to food in the morning. airspace is closed for twenty four hours and all terminals are closer to and further notice. to the soon the president say the cabinet and the under-secretaries men will been titled to perform the work needed the governments of the governed the rates will be solved and the mayors and governors will do that and needed a job normally work will go as it is in the judiciary the constitutional. court and. to call all the military groups to join us in building the gun slinging looking men today in the live the older alive of the citizens no

revenge no work the russians no a property keep being. in. vijender all the public all will be all is there will fide ruins in all its saves is serious fire will be declared all over sudan well let's take a look at how we got see this point omar al bashir came to power through a military coup in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine he was then appointed chairman of a transitional government and dissolved the political parties and trade unions in one nine hundred ninety three he abolished the military government and declared himself the president of sudan in two thousand and five his government signed a deal to end a twenty one year long civil war between the north and the south but she wasn't i said by the international criminal court over war crimes in the dark for

a region that's in two thousand and nine and in two thousand and eleven he oversaw the cessation of say sit on into an independent state he was last reelected president in twenty fifteen more stop position parties boy courses that vote and in march this year stepped down as chairman of the ruling national congress party after months of nationwide protests against his rule. well let's bring in our guests joining us from hard to miss half is muhammad's the director of justice africa in washington d.c. is david shinn a former deputy chief of mission at the u.s. embassy in sudan and a former ambassador to ethiopia and in kenya on skype is kuka a member of a jury if now. a nonviolent resistance movement in sudan thank you all for joining us if i could start with you. your protest group was

among those calling for omar al bashir to go he has not gone are you satisfied now not we were calling for does the best just for and we're talking about the whole we're talking about the whole system and his vice president been out came out and right now and the new leader and stated in two years a transitional government and three months curfew is one of the people who is calling to kill the broadcasters so we're not satisfied at all the struggle continues and nothing changed and we think we have the momentum we're very strong people are out in numbers there's millions out in the street every event is with us even people in the army mid-level and or younger folks are with us so we think we can do it we're going to continue ok let me turn to you have his mahomet's. bashir

has now gone but what we have night it's not satisfying the protesters what do you think will happen next i think people are going to continue to protest because this is just like a policy who is nothing happening they sure is not only receive is a hold of him and now is clear on my way to use to do i possible many for festus in the center of khartoum they start shouting slogans be fusing the holy statement and this is statement totally is not satisfactory to them and i think what they are going to do is continue protesting until real change happen. they don't actually accept this because it's clear it's not addressing the main issue you didn't put in the the country in a power of. democracy or more accountability that is what is missing the statement in victory in north korea and clear to them like

a policy i don't think that is going to be satisfactory to them of all these young men and women protesting for. sorry to cut you off if i were to play devil's advocate they will have his mohammed i would say that the army have said they are willing to transition to a democracy and this will take two years that's the time period they have given presumably so that the country can get ready for a transition to a new elections realistically what they are what the protesters are calling for this simply can't happen over night. yeah but but the problem is if you want to really start a transition after you have to do it correctly and you have to start initiate a correct roth for the transition but if the status quo is still at it is and all these people who are now in the supreme council of the change are the same people the same mentality no change i don't think that is going to take us and other

things to be astonishing is not an answer to many problems years of very jim of the n.c.p. i've created over me when i look at it to be done to actually put the country in the right be of for democracy and look at the transition and i think that has to stop from the thirty's day but i seem just this is statement i don't see the satisfactory and i do think the mentality of these people who are actually taking the lead is that it's a same mentality and i don't think they're going to bring the change which is needed for the country on the pier for doing transition to democracy i think this is for people is just west of time and it's just repeating getting what's going on for set yes and i don't think that is going to be acceptable and i do think that is going to satisfy the protesters and i'm sure they going to continue protesting until the real change happens ok let's bring in the whites if you then david shinn you're in washington d.c. what do you make of the developments this thursday. clearly if the

overwhelming majority of the protesters are dissatisfied with the current plan laid out by the military there's going to be continuing difficulties in the country and something better will have to develop over time i can't obviously speak for individual countries around the world but i suspect there's a lot of skepticism over a plan that goes out at least two years before the authority of government is turned over to civilians i don't understand why it would take that long i think there has to be a short period where you maintain stability in the country and probably only the military can do that but that can be negotiated with the protesters and it certainly can be a much reduced period of time with some important changes in leadership also what changes in leadership david shinn do you think should be brought in that i think

the military probably has to identify some of the key civilian leaders that have been involved in the protest movement or perhaps technocrats who are not necessarily part of the protest movement and make them part of the current government in effect bring them into positions where their views are taken into account now not two years from now ok. who would you like to see both in instead of. the prime that's been lying by the military. ok so let's listen let's make this clear we've been fighting these parties have been on our on from mitt december from then. protesters have come together united have a very clear vision for the transitional into democracy so we have we all are under the freedom and changed to clear ration and within that we have very clear way how

we want the country to be able to vote and transitional period that will fix the country and get us ready for democracy and this period we had already set for four years we had already set in on a technocrat government and we had already decided this will be a civilian government not. a military government so we are very united and we know that what we want and that's why we know how to we know that we want to that's why we know that what this government is beneath is not so it's not a period where we just want to government to come in we want to figure it out this is not where we at are now given if the news of the trouble again this government has been going on for thirty years as a movement against this government we're very well established with very well connected we are very well working together and you let me pursue this point in the cartoon with the fees mohammad's we heard from kooker there that the open protest movements have lined up the outlines of. a caretaker administration civilians they

would like to see as part of this the army clearly have not gone with that option what do you think that signals about the army's intentions do you think of his mohamed that the army does not plan on ceding pirates all. i think believe me i don't think they understand clearly the demand of the protesters and there is a number of groups who actually leading this protest like the professional union and other political parties and as a used group and i think that the money is clear and they came out with clear political statement how they want the transitional period to be shipped and i see that need to be addressed there is couple of issues which is facing sudan not only start from this again but from since sudan independent over six years ago and this issues have to be at this i think we need to address the root causes of conflict in sudan which is led to suspicion of south sudan we need to end the modernization we

need to we need to address the issue of poverty distribution and equality within society and also that need time and need to be seeking and i don't scenes that the way this statement came actually should that these people understand how to carry out this change i see they have to negotiate with these civilians organization which is leading. the protest and abuse them on a clear road map for transition and in that also include the terms of the transition and i do think two years is enough because we have war all over the places we have more than four million displaced every few days we have poverty i have seen we need to establish a good transition to ensure the next stage of democracy is sustainable i think i learned from a talk of nine hundred sixty four and one nine hundred eighty five a short on vision is not good is not going to address the problems i think we need

a long plan dition this couple of issue that is accountability that is transitional justice all getting to be addressed and also the constitutional principle and theory address that then we not going to have a jew in. a profile of. her again we need to withhold that and. the military has to own some of the people don't have to take action alone without when something this groups because otherwise this is going to fall on people i'm not going to trust them imo no word from them i think and the practice is not going to end ok ed david should you have you have worked in suits on you have been anything you appear as well from your experience in the region do you think the army is capable of going into listening more it's to the extent that it's has lights there are certainly capable of it the question is whether they have the will to do it i agree with with how it is that there has to be

a negotiation now between the protest groups and the military it's true that the issues that he described will take far longer than two years to resolve but the immediate problem is who is going to be and control of the country right now and there has to this has to be a a an effort to to maintain control on the one hand so that someone is making decisions and doing it in a relatively peaceful way and inevitably that involves a military they've got to be part of the discussion because they have the guns but there have to be negotiations with the protesters right now and cook at do you think the protest movement is willing to work with the military do you think there is scope for maneuvering to work with the military through this transitional period . not this military now this military not even our not this government we.

the statement has already come out. to freedom and changed the khorasan we're not going to negotiate with this government we do not hold this government as our government and we're going to fight against it it has devolved so it's putting us back to the same step this is not a government that wants to negotiate the way they started the way they took over power and the way they didn't negotiate in talk to us means. we can't just deal with them so there's not going to be a negotiation at all what. is there are sorry what other military is that that is the military that you have to move on it seems that the sites never are absolutely loker heads how do you progress from here so basically we were sudan was was really sudan with the military seven years so these are the leaders who where the country leaders and the government and the army so when we went to protest and we are able six decided to go to the military headquarters so they will

defend us against the national security services who are fighting us at the time. people from military stood against orders from even out the guy who's mad running it and instead of dispersing us stood next to us and defended us even fought and some of them got killed defending us from the national intelligence services so these are the people we want these are the people we want to take over power they're the ones we want to become the army still feel the first step to where it's reaching a sudan that is peaceful and can go forward is to get rid of this army to get rid of you know that leadership and to keep the core of the army which is that middle level and younger officers. for the upper the first by people whatsoever from this people from the army we cannot negotiate with them he cannot sit with them as a table they are the problem ok david shinn in washington d.c.

we heard there about different layers within the army is there a fear on a whites a regional level that we could see the army. as a whole frag ments because the one person who were keeping these disparate factions together was or marl bashir. i suppose that's possible it's difficult for me sitting in washington to know about it the schisms within the military and if your other guests are correct and these schisms exist that scenario can play out i'm not in in a position to judge that but it's also possible that these isms may not exist to that extent and one thing you want to avoid at this point is wide spread bloodshed in the country that would be the worst of of all outcomes if there's if there is a way to negotiate with the military and perhaps there is not but if there is

a way i think it should be tried and if it is found to be impossible then obviously these protests are going to go on pretty much as they are today i have faced mahomet's in her heart too in. the threats of violence the fear of violence is something which looms large here if the military are not willing to and since in the go see a shit i do you worry that their kids be bloodshed. yeah i think i think there is a way of avoiding bloodshed because i think sudanese are wise enough to avoid it and now if the n.c.p. militias are being put out of functions that will help because more discipline under will do their best to try and stop any change but at least for that it's been to some extent eliminated they want to still be some elements somewhere where ready to you know to resist and to fight on not to allow a game intent to happen but i think for the army to ensure the got the support of

the people you have to take certain steps you have to consult with the people if they don't do that then i don't think the protest of is going to stop and that might risk more violence because of the protests can continue by be they might be faced with some attack or some because there's too many elements there's too many militias and bremer bursary woops is still some might be some of them out there but we what we want is for the army to generally engage with the political with the with the people with a process that could ensure that you took everyone with them on the changes and to make sure that we have a smooth transition to democracy and that happens because this most of this general ban not blameless some of them are actually they they take some of the blame of the riddim for it says he is for them really to restore the capability they have to talk to the people they have to take the opinion of the people and account i have

to ensure that we have we're doing transition just saying ok we have an interim period and then we'll have election that is not good enough it'll be ok let me move to your house or cook or. are you worried that this could escalate further. and i mean that's always a worry me and end up in our way. about eighty people got killed a lot of people got injured so yes there is always the worry but i don't think it's going to escalate to the point of civil war or people fighting i feel like it's been oh has always been known that he doesn't have the support of his own army people are not accepted by his own army not upset about him and i think once the people once the army finds that the people are rising against him they gonna let him go they gonna split in the army was going to be very clear it's going to be a split from the leadership a few people on top and the rest of the army and i think the army has

a raised it with the people and they're already sitting with them in the streets and i don't think their weight will be in them to actually use their guns and division guns to kill fellow civilians they were not trained to kill sunnis people and they're not going to do it unlike their national security services and the militias that the other guest was talking about and they have been almost neutralized so i think now the struggle even easier ok we're fast running out of time gentlemen so just quickly a final words very very quick if you will will start with david shane what do you think will happen next. i'm hopeful that it will and without any more widespread bloodshed i'm also hopeful that there in fact can be useful negotiations quickly between the protesters and the military to come up with a plan that is far better than the one that has been proposed so far and that will shift responsibility to civilian civilian government quickly well i'm afraid we

have run out of time but thank you very much all three gentlemen for that discussion great so have all your views that that's how feasts mohammad's david shinn and how taking part in this discussion and thank you for watching you can catch up on inside story any time on our websites al-jazeera dot com the discussion of course will continue online to have your say go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle is at age inside story and i'm at stalham a hit for me and the whole team here by phone and i . methamphetamines for man ma a flooding into countries across asia. one zero one aced off why all parties caught

i walked into the newsroom and it felt like being in the general assembly of the united nations because it was so many nationalities. little just that we all come from places but it's one that gives us and gives us the ability to identify people who may live the other side of the world but we can understand what it's like to have a different perspective and i think that is a strength for al jazeera. not backing down more protests in sudan despite a curfew after the move to lose president obama bashir from power. months i mean this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up.

a bomb blast in pakistan southwestern city of course they killed at least sixteen people and injured thousands wiki leaks founder julian assange faces extradition to the u.s. off that he's arrested for those embassy in london. a crucial meeting between. for the path forward on talks with north korea. let's begin in sudan where opposition groups are calling for peace. rally after friday prayers the military has removed longtime president bashir from power the defense minister is now in control is declared a three month state of emergency it's also imposed a curfew thousands of people defied it overnight on thursday when morgan reports from call to. this was how the end of thirty years of rule looked when president

are many bashir 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. sudan's forty million people had waited six hours to hear. being the minister of the vans the chairman of the committee to get rid of this regime and the head of the regime in a safe place i also declare the formation of. transitional council to supervise the two the year of period more than one hundred eight and others close to your have been arrested and political prisoners released as a protester who was arrested by sudan's intelligence agents in january a lot of emotion. for the country. i hire bread prices provoke 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 which reduced the revolt against him. but since saturday thousands of demonstrators have been camped outside the military headquarters in khartoum close to the president's office the 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. command has said it understands the demand for the shooter go and it's all to determined not to allow chaos the. demand has increased the number of participants of the people has increased as 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 hours after the announcement the military council was sworn in led by the defense minister ahmed of marking the start of a transitional period set to last for two years but the takeover isn't welcomed by some protesters on the streets who say they want to accept a military transitional government a sentiment echoed by some opposition leaders. with. the statement made by the minister of defense is categorically rejected by us we will not accept a half victory we need to hold a complete victory as anticipated and wanted by our martyrs so we have decided to continue to sit in 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. a curfew came into effect at ten pm local time but hundreds defied it continuing with the

tent in front of the army headquarters demanding a change to our all transitional council minister denise fear that with bashir gone and many rejecting the new military government there could well be that chaos army commanders want to avoid. while the international community is responding to developments in sudan the u.n. is to hold a special meeting on saturday the u.s. france and germany requested it saying they want a peaceful transition to civilian rule washington says it strongly supports a democratic sudan and is urging a rapid handover is also calling on the military to hand over power to a civilian authority as soon as. the african union has condemned the military takeover saying it's not an appropriate response to the crisis. who will be joining us there live from called sort of it's been calls for a rally today how is the gathering outside of the army headquarters shaping up

well so i mean it's as if no curfew was announced by the military that's to say nobody has actually obeyed and listened to the curfew that was imposed by the military right after they took control people are saying that this is not what they went out for when they sort of protesting for months ago they saying that this is not what they went and staged the sets in for in front of the army headquarters for six days when they asked the military to pick a side either with them or with president bush you know obviously the army with its announcement yesterday made it very clear that they're ready just under the bus but they are taking power and not handing it over to a civilian government or through a civilian transitional council like people have been asking so the opposition and the sudanese professional association which has been spearheading the calls for the protests which have have been spearheading the calls for a new transitional government the civilian transitional government said that more people should be running around army headquarters not just in for its own but in various other states and that's indeed what has been happening overnight and what's

been happening today earlier in the streets we've seen people carrying sudanese flags walking towards army headquarters they're saying that in a few hours that's where they're going to pray the friday prayers and there are concerns that the army may be a little bit aggressive yesterday just before the the army made their statements there were sounds of gunshots and even after the statements and overnight there were gunshots heard around the army headquarters and today the central doctors committee of sudan issued a statement saying that yesterday at least thirteen people were killed. between the transitional period when bashir was nowhere to be seen or to be heard from and by the time the army made the statement and by the time the curfew was in imposed so they are concerns that even with people defined the curfew defined the military order to to move them back away from the army headquarters there will be violence and there will be more bloodshed it's not just domestic pressures of international pressure it's really saw in the army is listening. well right now the government is or the acting government transitional government isn't

really paying attention to the international community and what it is saying they are saying that they are going to go on as a matter of fact we're expecting a statement from them shortly they said that they're going to announce the names of the members and they seem to be very keen on holding on to the two year period that they announce they saying that this three year period will be very inclusive but that people from all around sudan from all areas from all societies will be represented which is why people should not be worried but again people are not listening to this they are saying that the defense minister ahmed our of who is now in control is from the regime is from the ruling party and they've been calling for the rejean to move all they've been calling for the ruling party to give up power so no matter what happens they're saying that this is not what they want and likely we're likely to see that this is not the end of the four months of protests that started in december all right here morgan there thanks for that update. or at least sixteen people have been killed in a bomb attack in the pakistani province and police say it happened of fruit markets in the southwestern city of questar dozens of people have been injured in what

police are calling the first six or an attack in months the market is run by members of the has. been targeted by sunni groups in the past. joins us live from karachi is the picture any clearer as to why these why the market was attacked. well it is quite obvious it was the community dad wanted gate because every morning the place courthouse. where the community had it and trained to come to this market situated less than two kilometer away and they come where the police and security for could go or so they would know incident on the way however one state entered into that they would not call for an explosion according to the police the explosive. potato sack and the explosion so paul ford that. showed in the.

building and of course also there are people who were in the area at the time of the explosion so at least eight of those that are members from that community. in the last five years five hundred nine of them have been hit with six hundred of them have been injured forcing many to leave. and of course to go. security or safety and not the place. thanks for. the seven years of living in the ecuadorian embassy in london we killings found june in the song is in british custody he's facing extradition to the u.s. he was arrested on thursday all stakeholders government withdrew is assigned them within hours he was convicted by a u.k. court on charges of skipping bail rory chalons reports from london. they've been
