alphonse etienne de name was from a wealthy background in paris and went against his family's wishes and became an artist. he painted in what was called the oriental list style normally a western view of the middle east which stereotyped its people as wild and exotic. but d.n.a. and arabic spent time getting to know the bedouin of algeria painted so hard and people as they really were and gave this artistic style a fresh perspective. in one thousand nine hundred three by now in his forty's d.n.a. decided to move prominently to his favorite algerian retreat racist town of blue sada. he bought this house in the arab quarter deliberately to irritate the french

5:25 am
religious discipline education and sophistication which encouraged he eventually to convert to islam. he wrote i knew islam i felt a sense of attraction to it and a tendency towards it i studied it in the book of god i found it a guide for all mankind. yes. his conversion in a personal letter in one thousand no way and completed it for me in one thousand nine hundred thirteen when he changed his name to not. the most to me just to see if i'm across the above the unit a million soon to be not in the but. they had. a bomb up a bomber or kid there but up all obama can only hope at thier own fear. see it must of been the. loss of the indian if you. look.

5:27 am
the other side and become a muslim. some considered him a traitor and that he was no longer worthy of the title knight of the legion of honor he'd been granted in eight hundred ninety six. others thought he'd abandoned his french heritage and his adoption of algeria as home had a direct impact on his artistic career. there was a campaign against him art collectors stopped buying dinis paintings and he no longer want any prizes. as martin cheri says. it will not be measured from the law of the night and so on so i've been is both. foxy amusing myanmar let you can we are low out of it the power to win our museum and i was in that alley a hamlet doing. well a million can you have to honor it or not though it cannot do i. know you have

5:51 am
moments earlier a group of opposition leaders held a news conference and once again called for a civilian government. workers the army together with the people have been victims to those people cloaked as good virtuous men it is the g.t. and responsibility of the armed forces to protect the people and enforce the rule of law the armed forces men who have fallen have done their best in asking dictatorship and establishing a civil state we and all the opposition parties refused to hand over power to the military we want a totally civil leadership. assumed power on friday when another general our the man who had orchestrated the end of president bashir this thirty year rule resigned after that announcement was made there were celebrations on the streets many sudanese hope that one who is the specter general of the military and perceived to be less tainted than either of his predecessors may be able to bring solutions to the problems that led to months of protests plays any so it is
5:52 am
a great thing for us with. our hopes will be really we are not leaving the streets until everything goes to advantage on saturday and other high profile resignation when intelligence chiefs. also step down some analysts believe these are encouraging signs but there could be talks between the military and civilian leaders. probably no more chances of success since the military. number. who. would like to be. a protests began in december over a sharp rise in a bread prices and the deteriorating economy but it's not clear how the protesters will react to these promises of change over the coming days. are just.
5:53 am
protest leaders have given the sudanese military a list of demands now they include arresting all political and security leaders accused of corruption and mudda including from crimes committed in darfor a complete overhaul of the country's security and intelligence services the release of all political prisoners and cancelling all laws which restrict freedom. is the spokesman for the democratic truth party and has previously been detained because of his political views he shared some of his experiences. during the first two days i was detained we were tortured they made us live tires face the wall and would come and beat us and the officer passing by would beat us we got marks on our bodies they interrogated me twice the first two days and then move me to the detention center change the station. some of them are. the movement is not over yet it's on the white to being completed but we are aware that after
5:54 am
thirty years of a police state things won't change smoothly other nights but we think what's happening is an important step towards china age there are indications that the movement is going to be inaugurated with the complete removal of the regime but we're realistic about the fact that won't happen immediately and it will be challenges. of david shinn as a former deputy chief of mission at u.s. embassy in sudan he joins us live now from washington thank you for speaking to us here on the news hour or so general on appears to be more acceptable to the protesters but what does he need to do. retain that confidence. he's taken several of the correct steps already and an effort to restore confidence with the protesters i think he will eventually and probably sooner rather than later have to go further by bringing in to the government very quickly some technocrats perhaps some of the key people involved in the protests that way you
5:55 am
can have day to day interaction between those who have been on the outside for all of these years and the military council itself and increasingly you can pass responsibility to civilians i think that's a reasonable way of handling things and i think the the protesters are going to have to be accommodating on their side also. he has reached out to this is really in coalition so there are some positive signs that. we are at some point going to get a more specific timeline for the handover of power to civilian leadership so essentially it is this if it is the people that are in it that are in control during this interim period. i think the question of a date a fixed date is probably less important at this juncture than building confidence
5:56 am
with the protesters and the best way to do that is to start bringing the technocrats and some of the protest leaders into the government now putting them in some key positions the economic ministries for example the foreign affairs ministry is a possibility that i think will help restore confidence faster the whole question of when all of this change totally happens and civilians are in complete control can be negotiated as they move along but isn't that i appreciate what you say about the need to gradually include civilians and technocrats into. the council that already exists but actually isn't specifics and timelines really important here because what the protesters have really demanding is some sort of transitional civilian government and they want they want that now. really realize they want
5:57 am
