10:26 pm
military members given what happened with the protests and the people who died. i think that's what everybody is asking i think the military who will be part of this government they need to be members who are not going were not part of the bloodshed that just took place a few weeks ago in the sudan and the city people know them very well so if they choose wisely we could have members of that in chief who are. so what what sort of plan would you and your fellow for testers. sort of play would you have liked to have seen from ethiopia's prime minister. well we just hope that. i mean working mediating between the 2 parties and we hope we can reach a decision soon. but the streets are still you know. everybody is below the constraints where we are not we didn't back off for 2 years so we just hope that
10:27 pm
the negotiations go well ok it's a compromise plan it's 7 members of the military 7 from the civilian population with one additional member that both sides should should jointly choose it's a it's a compromise situation. could it work do you think i think it could work but like i said before if. the people who are part of this government from the military are were not part of the. the previous which people were talking about you know the. the grand government. and how many people basically i mean we can't have those 2 in a new government when they were part of what just happened a few weeks ago so if we do have a militia as part of this government they need to be members who are not part of this at all and i think that's go only way they could actually go for it chance could stop too many thanks be to being with us thank you. hundreds of children have
