a government that feels like that they're using this is a way to intimidate. is part of their form of negotiating or are they trying to make clear that there is not going to be a transition to civilian government. it's very difficult to tell it could really be a combination of all those but if it is a way to negotiate i think in this day and age. it's rather unusual and it's very strange and in for a country like sudan if part of their trip to saudi arabia to assure. you sure was it designed to pose really intimidated the opposition i think they have actually gulliver nies the entire sudan the sedan of today's no the sedan that was fighting south sudan it was seen to be them versus ours it was not the sedan it's not no longer the sudan where death was you know subjected to again aside and it
