11:06 pm
your capable of turning over a new leaf oh ok see see that's the differentiation that we need to make this is not the army this is not the army nor is it the civic quality of sudan this is the security council that was recruited by al majid bashir to ensure his presence and the safety off his family so that's the trick the what they have done and they have just mentioned this in previous shows it's the speed on the face of the sudanese people as well as the army they have been taking any measures to disassociate themselves from the islamist ideology nor have they taken any serious may just to bring the genocide all those who have committed crimes against the sudanese people to justice they are allowing them to stay in their only in their own mansions and providing them with you know protection they said today though that they they would
11:07 pm
bring to justice those who have blood on their hands. but apparently we're going to take you will come back to a conversation about i've got to take you to the united nations in new york where sudan is being discussed by the security council as a list of. real mastic matter it is up to the will of the sudanese people it is a delegation it is a delicate situation that sudan is currently one of them faces of people and it is a threat to its immediate and i want to do the ability that's a threat that needs to be kept in the focus of our attention however on that any democratic process requires time and that should not be frightened that threatened we do not wish to see the need. in a gradual democratic process on ravel in the name of democracy we therefore call in our partners in the international community to support them about the suburbs peaceful transition in the country in a way that would help to build on gains and open up the path to stability
11:08 pm

11:09 pm
you didn't get a chance to to hear much of what was being said by the sudanese representative we were talking just a few moments ago before that happened about. how suspicious people are in sudan of the military's most of you said it's not even the military is this security apparatus that. that is the people who are behind the coup. the protests are going to continue despite the fact that they're saying that this curfew is in effect every night for the next at least the next three months from ten pm till four am how long will the military put up with the fact that these protesters are determined to stay out on the streets ninety percent of the offices have been talking to some of his people on the ground ninety percent of the sudanese national army audience support of the port this that's they themselves feel betrayed by the move made by it know of. they feel that this so-called security
11:10 pm
council is nothing but the attempt to save convent that the conduit that was supposed to be a proper conduit that should bring together the civic quality and the army. and of course some sort. of accordion nation that will bring the nation out of this quagmire if you're right that's a pretty dangerous situation because that could ultimately lead to civil war could end this is this is just a matter of days not saying days even i'm not saying weeks or a matter of days if the protesters keep up their talent the army is likely to make a move again is this group of gangsters who have made nothing of that vital you know to. what would their response when this could as i said this could turn bloody couldn't. i mean unfortunately i mean got fare for bid.
11:11 pm
we are likely to see swarms of blood and until this so-called security council decides to make a move to amend its its conduct i mean it's not only a matter of some procedural major sticking there are some substantive actions that need to be taking to assure the people that a new day game is in their making these offices they don't realize that there is an ontological shift between the relationship between the society and the state people no longer accept the army as a patch on the they won't accept a military officer needless to say and ideologue to hijack the platform and yes. take this nation into. a jump in the dark to no longer be accepted. many thanks indeed for being with us
11:12 pm
when we put the book. tens of thousands of displaced syrians are waiting to leave the remote refugee camp on the border with jordan the conditions there are worsening that have led to nearly two thousand people leaving they've used a corridor or opened by the russian military. back to their villages which are now under government control but many others seeking safe passage to the opposition controlled north to hold the reports. forty thousand syrians are trapped in this remote corner of syria where there is little to sustain life there is a way out of rock band camp to record door opened by the russian military it leads 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 although. this situation is horrible there is no aid our children have been deprived of an

11:14 pm
what he calls the american occupation and interest of the who are the americans unilaterally announce the creation of some kind of safe zone in the region with a radius of fifty five kilometers it's unclear how big splaying the unlawful presence there the occupation is inside the site zone. the un 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. 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 basket's 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

11:21 pm
a little over twenty five but it's an al-jazeera right after the stream next. big symbolism big but what has brazil's president got to show for a country struggling to recover from a recession and is india's prime minister seeks another term where i actually kept his election promises. on al-jazeera. today i'm major turning point. after months of street protests president thirty years in power to an end what's next tweet us your comments on our live shot. there is a sudanese defense minister general dramatically announced that sudan's president
11:22 pm
bashir has been arrested and removed from power 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 his rule for thirty years and feel the step came too late but everyone is happy now. 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 the khartoum dalia ruby is a member of the sudanese congress party and here in our studio ahmed could do
11:23 pm
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 in 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 of a story. we woke up pretty early in the morning thinking that we were going to hear some great news it took six hours we had the t.v. on and unfortunately we were faced with. and actually a us sanctioned. i'll show. from two thousand and seven
11:24 pm
he's telling us that you know this is transition two years military regime as if nothing that we have said for years and now for the past six days and for the process for months actually matters and 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 have not 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
11:25 pm
i 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 is still hope there is 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. and to see them so inspirationally leading the way and showing us that really to fight all the needs for change peacefully fight for change right was an inspiration and then being the ruling
11:26 pm
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 that she 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 graham from sudan heart i'm 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 steer away from being too noticeable which is why you didn't see her face and that comment there but often to talk to us about the emotions that that you just heard from valley and you heard from the protester there at the sit in
11:27 pm
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 strategic in basically recreating itself it also announced the four major elements of the regime or the pillars of support which were the military the nys with its current head the police and the rapid support forces the our south 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
11:28 pm
were a couple things that many people work spectating for example the movement that actually spearheaded the transformation the professional association was completely sidelined in 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 the government that absolutely meant well if they don't understand 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 change 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
11:29 pm
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 i'm hoping you can tell us a little bit more about this minister of defense we have this week from most a 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 after the revolution began and he's an alleged war criminal so what do we know about general. who has it been a longtime member of the military and the government was there also. and if you know mind for some time. he's going to be close part of the surest close circle of allies and that's why he was brought in and the shortly after the
11:30 pm
bashir step to a speech to be closer within the circles and system show i mean he was hand-picked in the anticipation i believe i can be here for changes that were coming and. you know this this seems to be just as we shall be arrangements of heads of government rather than any genuine transformation or. acknowledgement 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 here writes changing faces doesn't change the character of a regime and so i think better to some that out than this gift that a circulating online this is all of the ad which we did at the resemblance is impeccable physically and figuratively so slight tongue in cheek there but it is
11:31 pm
a guess that is transposing on a bet 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 they're a bit of bellemont of the pride we're more into related to who how much regard they have who are of that awareness and the political knowledge of the people in the three who they. met and pointed out i mean that history the history of sports that are being as part of the transition as well if i were going to 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 that humidor thing. related to their. to their sorry i keep forgetting i meant related to the declaration yeah so really for
11:32 pm
exactly ration. i would say i would kind of slightly disagree that that there hasn't been enough the 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 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 this is going 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 elected body with the professional association in it but as well as as i said the sudan poland and civil society alliance and
11:33 pm
others the national special 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 here. for more civilian. into an actual transition that does not have to focus extremely militant groups this 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 mend as well as. yeah it's 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
11:34 pm
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 it's why you know i mean i think there's some people also want to put it to. you know the protesters
11:35 pm
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 shrewd politician and i think it's a mistake to underestimate. how he should miss his ability to build alliances and he is survived for thirty years and you know that's that's not an e.t.s. . you know it is it isn't that surprising i see. the way things are going out you know this is
11:36 pm
a high amount to 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 test or to you know again this is it's been over for a very long time it has interests the army has its interest in terrorists security apparatus has trench interest in the state. and so forth like egypt. so i think it's going to take nor then. then you know the protests that we see and it's going to be a longer better right i would 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
11:37 pm
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 my 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 a six hour delay in which there were
11:38 pm
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 is 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 you 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 sound 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 this
11:39 pm
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 don't want to go back to the point though my native part about the expectation for the military i think it and it was going to happen having the wellbeing of a lot of people who are kind of a bit demoralized about the new and the announcement. before prior to departure big behave we had no expectation of protection or or. any sort of responsible behavior towards a group after that and indeed big big hit on the country were actually quite pretty to all uniformed and we reformed militia and including the army. and the public they've been there you know i wouldn't say they'd but it would be they the images of the army helping open and you know and protecting us have been
11:40 pm
problematic because the kind of people expectation of something that we've endured for three periods which is even if they're not here to protect that even if individual where doing that out of even information we can expect so much out of the military that have systematically killed death and been violent and brutal towards us and i think as you pointed out it is it is kind of a naive expectation to say that these six days are going to somehow delete this trail of the harm that they've done and as i say to 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 will protect us and will they had the same commitment six days ago on the contrary to what the even scarier because they were less numbers and they
11:41 pm
were less you know i mean there was a lot of numbers but not as much as the prospects they 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 outside take a look at what these protests look like just a few days ago. i. was . out.
11:42 pm
on a background they are chanting throw it out a 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 had 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 any bigger question should learn how to speak. in a cycle so you needn't military governments and great hundred fifty six this is not the first time first uprising against a military government in one nine hundred sixty four in the region and then again

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 partners but i think there is there is there are some some effect some factor in thing on the themes of the rising for those who don't think i'm sorry go ahead ari yes so. i think what type 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 in which it's mostly with let's get the revolution going finish it and let it go at the table and discuss peace and and do war and i think this time it's very different from day one that these groups are part of
11:45 pm
a part of this this process and there's there's definitely at the agenda the number one priority in the transition period the war issues and i think in the past. there has been challenges because of that because you know obviously development a lot happened without peace and peace is at the forefront of this revolution i'm hopeful that this this will actually make them much stronger stronger process for the future and more long lasting i think the representation of are definitely not the right that he. is saying 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 but 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 is enough so that we have will see online. god.

ensure stability while leaving sudan's future up to the people but those behind the protest movement say they'll continue their demonstrations despite a military ordered curfew more. one day after sudan's military deposed president are murdered but the head of the military council's political committee defended the coup at a news conference and he said the military has no plans to stay in power and promised the new transitional government would be run by civilians. we have not come with future solutions the solutions will be devised by those in protest and those staging sit ins you the people will provide solutions for all political economic and social issues we have come with no ideology we are the people of the armed forces we have come here to maintain order security and provide an opportunity for the people to achieve change they have been aspiring to and to devise their own visions for the leadership we have no ambition at all to hold the

reins of power. the night before tens of thousands of protesters defied the nighttime curfew that had been announced and on friday demonstrators were on the streets again there was. now people from all walks of life on a. bet on the say well i think i need the. level of the. problem that he has to be there that i need growth and he's got and we have learned now the protests began in december over a steep pike in bread prices and the deteriorating economy. since last saturday thousands have been demonstrating in front of the military headquarters and demanding bashir is resignation. according to the central committee of sudanese doctors dozens have been killed in violence with security forces which have repeatedly tried to disperse the sit in by force analysts say sudan's military has
11:52 pm
an important role to play in ensuring security and stability in the country roads should extend to finding a way to as soon as possible transfer power to a civilian lead that ministration you're hearing voices and that is the sudanese people and they do not want to show to that sound mission often that. president bush. for the moment even though the rule of bashir has come to an end the protests look likely to continue how much does either. correspond to the head of morgan today how big are the demonstrations wealthy to hundreds and hundreds of people who are walking towards the army headquarters they can still you can still hear them from outside this office walking chanting saying that their revolution is not over and that they've been
11:53 pm
protesting for four months but this is not the result they were asking for they are saying that when they went to the army headquarters five days ago six days ago actually as they just said and demanding that the army take a position if knowledge so that the army could take power they were thing that they were hoping the army would oust bashir from power and hand over the transitional government to a civilian government that's not what has happened that is this by the fact that the military council said that they're not going to be permanent that they will be restoring the constitution and that they're open to dialogue if political parties could sort out the issue so at the moment it looks like people are still very determined there is still a curfew in place at ten o'clock local time which is around twenty g. so people are expected of people should be going back home but just like last night people are expected to be still staying in front of the army headquarters protesting the fact that the currently the military is in control is part of the problem here for the protests the way the military men have been in position for so
11:54 pm
very long and clearly they don't want to walk away from the positions of power and influence. that's exactly the case here they're saying that the ridge and the the current military fleet figures that are in power are part and parcel of the old regime they are from the ruling party there are parts of the former government one was a former defense minister the other was the chief of staff after that with no off who is currently the meter of the military council the defense minister and vice president so they're saying that he's very close to president bashir he is part of the system he's crum the ruling party and when they were protesting they were demanding a new regime new face of these new civilians in control they're saying that they were not just protesting president bashir they're protesting his party and that is on the result that they have produced so they're saying the circulation is far from over and it will continue until civilians have taken control of a thanks very much ok let's take this story live to the united nations in new york
11:55 pm
with al-jazeera is kristen kristen who's been saying what they're. well you know peter almost as soon as word got out that the military had taken control in sudan a concern was expressed here at the united nations and members of the security council led by the british called for a meeting and a briefing on the situation the united kingdom backed by other european members of the council in the united states has been expressing its concern about the situation in particular the fact that a curfew was imposed on protesters they're worried about the safety of protesters and the united kingdom has said specifically that they are skeptical of the two year transition to civilian rule that the military government is talking about so earlier today here at the united nations during a regularly scheduled meeting we heard from the deputy ambassador of sudan trying to reassure the international community remember this is a man who just
11:56 pm
a week ago was working for the deposed president omar al bashir but he told the security council that the military government is committed to a peaceful transition that's based on the will of the sudanese people then a god to him when what it will be the military transitional council was responding to the sudanese people's aspirations for china and works to protect the lives of its citizens as well as their well appealing this council will be the guarantor of a civilian government to be formed in collaboration with the political forces in stakeholders no party will be excluded from the political process including two groups will write the suspension of the constitution could be lifted at any point and the transitional period could be shortened depending on developments on the ground and agreements with stakeholders. now the deputy ambassador also asked for international support as his country goes through this transition
11:57 pm
it'll be interesting to see if the security council can come up with a unified voice and will make any comments after this meeting because the security council has really been engaged on the issue of sudan and issues in sudan for the last fifteen years the deputy ambassador seemed to be saying that the focus . and saying that this was a domestic matter even though they want international support that the situation there should remain under the control of domestic forces this perhaps referring to the fact that omar al bashir is wanted by the international criminal court he is the first sitting head of state that was ever referred to the i.c.c. by the un security council so this international body which is notorious for its divisions and polarizations actually came together fifteen years ago to refer the president of sudan to the international criminal court for his conduct waging war
11:58 pm
against his people in the darfur region of the country the general who is in charge of the country right now was in charge of the military efforts at that time and is sanctioned under sanctions by the united states government so while the sudanese officials are seeking to reassure the international community that they've got this that they're backing the sudanese people there's a lot of skepticism here at the united nations and it will be interesting to see if there's any response from the council when this meeting breaks up christine thank you very much. there are more protests across algeria today despite promises by the interim president that elections will be held on july the fourth demonstrators are demanding the interim leader himself should step down the army is warning protesters not to make what it calls impossible demands for the new matheson with more. traditional role as this woman cries out to crowds of young protests. she said you my children are the algerian you just something
