next week will begin our civil disobedience the military council has cut off the internet they cut off the telecommunication networks to cover their crimes we promise we'll unveil the military's crimes committed on the streets from killing to rape to humiliate to fear we will continue this revolution the crackdown appears to be continuing activists report raids by a paramilitary group on hospitals looking for injured protesters and the medical workers treating them. one of the rapid support forces came in and attacked me and he hit me here and over here as well may god punish them as the doctors union says the savage beating suffered by patients and their colleagues a part of a wider campaign of violence yesterday we heard that 2 doctors are be raped. said the women have been raped in one of the nearby. neighborhoods to the headquarters of the military council this it which and cannot carry on. the

military job has apologized for the violence and says it will investigate its called for elections within 9 months something the opposition has rejected when we consider it a statement of a coup and a counter attack on the people's revolution and we were a few to do all from its beginning to the end we refused to call for an early election and reconsider the statement of the military council conforms with the counter-revolution and this linked to the interests of the old regime just weeks ago protesters gathered full of hope that talks with the military council were on the verge of a breakthrough. now their current has turned to anger and protesters say they won't back down alexei or brian al-jazeera going there as martin plowed a senior research fellow at the institute of commonwealth studies joins us from london thank you so much for your time let's start with this newest piece of information that we have that the u.s.

undersecretary of state for political fare affairs reached out to the saudi deputy defense minister what do you make of that about sudan i think is a very significant move in. yes indeed i think it's a very significant move i mean after all you know who really has any leverage over sudan i mean it certainly isn't the united nations which is blocked from acting because the chinese and the russians are halting any progress in the security council the african union has i can't remember any occasion in which they basically put took a really serious stand against a dictatorship and the arab league hasn't taken any action either so you have to then ask yourself who has any real leverage over sudan and with the saudis and the u.a.e. putting in something like $3000000000.00 into the regime in the last few months then the saudis are the people to go to because they might just have some kind of

hold over the generals who are not running the country will it succeed i think it's much too early to tell but it is just possible so how do you see them potentially trying to flex some of that influence. well you know if they really turned to the military and said look if you don't act we're going to withdraw the money that we've promised you then i think the sudanese government to offer all are in enormously difficult economic situation me that is where this all began in december last year with the bread riots that took place because the government couldn't really keep up providing bread at a highly subsidized rate so you know if if you withdraw that subsidy from the from the government of sudan then possibly they might move and this is just the beginnings of some kind of indication that might have we have not seen

a statement from general bu harm who is the head of the military council says that we are sorry for what happened we pray for the souls of the martyrs and we hope for the quickest recoveries of the wounded not being genuine there because as you pointed out in your report you know yesterday he was ruling out any kind of talks but maybe maybe is now beginning to see some flexibility or have that how about that they're saying that you're willing to restart talks after people have died after people are scared what kind of talks will they possibly be well they would of course be on the terms of the military in the security forces and you know perhaps that is the great problem with the demonstrations is that they. i mean it's hard to say this but off they've lost so many lives you know as you were pointing out perhaps 60 maybe a 100 people have died yesterday but you know maybe they overestimated the hole

that they had and they should have settled for something been less than pushing the military right out of the or on a limb and if they had done that then perhaps there might have been some way forward but you know that is there are lots of ifs and buts in all of that and so i don't think we can be sure you know the most likely thing that would be happen is that the military or some of the minute she take up the uniforms so that they now civilians stand for election in 9 months time and then we have a civilian government i mean in the sense it's what. the previous regimes done in the past they've brandon themselves as civilians even though they really just the military all right martin platt we appreciate your expertise very much joining us from london and egypt an attack as reported to have killed at least 8 security force members in northern sinai commanders say it happened at a checkpoint in the city of a research during morning prayers no one has claimed responsibility yet previous
