4:05 pm
a state in this hybrid transitional arrangement, i and those who have been part of this, this movement to push the government out are themselves key members of government. so any criticism of government performance is very marsan, criticism ah, the had one gains of the pro democracy uprising have not led to reform. so many people feel full. and now with more political upheaval, sedan, it's once again, on the edge. priyanka kupta altos, air, lived out a car to missouri. have a morgan is there, hipaa. the had a head of the military said that he acted to achieve the aspirations of the people . how of people reacted to that well, as the head of the military was reading his statement with regard to resolving the sovereignty council and the council of ministers. thousands already on the streets, protesting what they say was cool. now this came even before the statement of
4:06 pm
general abdel for the hunt was made. many people, they can do street, many roads being barricaded with blocks and stones and anything that people can use to block roads. they said this is not their form of resistance. they say because they have been fighting for civilian government since they took to the streets in december 2018 when the 4th of the freedom and change coalition lead protest and to government protest against then president dominant. but she, so we have seen over the past few hours, hundreds and hundreds of people on various st, setting a barricade, others going all the way to the bridge and some of them opening the bridges in face of the military and making their way to the army headquarters where right now thousands are testing against the military and against their rules. they say that they want a civilian government, so that's called for. 4 that statement by general, i didn't put the one where he says he made it. he has the current development of the qu because of the people's aspirations many and not just in the capital to but
4:07 pm
various parts of the country. now taking to the 3 say that this is not their ration, they wanted a civilian, let the government and till elections are held. now he did say in his statement that elections will be held in july 2023, and at the military will take charge. one thing worth noting is that he had mentioned that he's abiding by the constitution declaration, the power sharing agreement that was signed between the military and before of freedom and change coalition. with the exception of a few articles in that agreement. and those are very significant articles, article that include the makeup of the government, such as the formation of the sovereignty council and executive council. but one of the article specifically dissolved the transition military council. that's the body that took over when former president i'm going in. but she was out that now that, that article, the article that canceled the formation of the military council or the presence of the military council has been disregarded from the constitution constitution declaration. that general i've been put,
4:08 pm
the hon says he's abiding by. so we're expecting to see again another transition military council running this period until elections are held. ask for the statement of general evidence at home and how much sway will negative a international opinion of what's happened today in sudan. sway the military is not likely to pressure them towards talks to end this crisis general of them for their home kind of respond to that question when he gave his statement. now he said in the statement that he made addressing the nation, that he would not accept any external pressure, dictating how sedan should be ruled. so it's not clear what kind of an impact international pressure and international statements and condemnation will have on the move made by the military. of course, this whole development that we're seeing right now happening in for them and that continues to develop with before the freedom and change coalition, calling for civil disobedience and strike it all. come just hours after the head of
4:09 pm
the form of sovereignty counsel now and the deputy head, as well as the prime minister in the meeting with the us special envoy to the horn of africa. to discuss this political crisis, the u. the u. s. embassy issued a statement saying that the special envoy is all size to take to the constitution declaration and to the peace agreement. and that this is the only way out of the current political crisis. but this was just hours ago. this is less than 24 hours ago, just hours after he left her room. things started to change on the ground with the military blocking all the major roads and bridges and stuffing and shutting down the airport. and cussing internet access, shutting down internet active for civilians as many to the, to the st. following the news of the arrest of government, a civilian government official. so the question on how much pressure international access could have on this transitional government is much clear. we've seen
4:10 pm
condemnation from various countries that have been dealing with the transitional government saying that they are very concerned that they condemn them by the military. but then again, general them for the 100 that he will not allow foreign nations to dictate house down should be ruled. so it's not clear if it was this would have any impact with ever on the development on the ground. i'll just have a morgan reporting live from cartoon out. however many thanks and date of the us embassy in cartoon has condemned the move and called on all actors who are disrupting sedans, transition to stand down and allow the civilian lead transitional government to continue its important work to achieve the goals of the revolution and france. condemns in the strongest terms they attempted coup de tied sudan according to president emmanuel macro. he's expressed support for the sudanese transitional government and called for the immediate release of the prime minister and civilian leaders. let's get more a reaction that now particularly from the u. s. our white house correspondent, kimberly how could his set with us the u. s. a. n voice,
4:11 pm
the region as expressed his disquiet after meeting with both sides of the weekend. come but kimberly, what's been the reaction there in washington? yes, the reaction is coming out of the region and as my colleague reported this timing of the events on the ground is certainly disappointing to the united states. given the fact that there had been a meeting of the special envoy for the horn of africa, geoffrey feltman, and that this has occurred immediately following those meetings, the united states, calling this utterly unacceptable. and the tweets coming out of the bureau of african affairs, saying, as we have said repeatedly, any changes to the transitional government by force puts the u. s. assistance at risk. in other words, if these actions continue, the money that that has been sent by the united states could be in jeopardy. the other concern is that this is essentially a military takeover of the transitional government. and so as a result,
4:12 pm
there are real concerns that this really is a blow to that effort. so the united states is strongly urging those involved in disrupting the transitional process to step aside if you will, essentially, to allow that process to continue. we should also point out that the head of the united nations and tony, the terrorists, also tweeting his concern about what has happened saying that they are standing with those that are in supportive democracy in the hopes that that can continue. but the problem is, of course, that that is now been disrupted, and the next few hours, very unclear from us standpoint. i kimberly many thanks. d, that's our white house correspondent, kimberly health reporting live from washington. so how did suden get to this point? well, in december 2018 thousands of people in the northeastern region of a barbara protested against high unemployment poverty and corruption within days, those protest spread to other cities,
4:13 pm
including the capital cartoon. that april 2019 the military removed president obama alba, sheer from office of to billy 30 years in power. 4 months later, after accusations of use of violence against protest, as the military agreed to form a civilian lead transitional government. the new cabinet took office in september on the prime minister, abdullah hum dog as part of a 3 year power sharing agreement that says speak to work. generally, i met a sudanese activist who joins us live from washington, dc. good savvy with us, what's your reaction to what's happened incidentally? thank you so much for having me on the program. you know, it really began last night for us in the diaspora. we were watching the news. we were actually speaking with members of our family. i was talking with a cousin last night who was absolutely horrified at the sounds that she was hearing . she lives very close to the main stretch of highway that same cartoon crying on the phone and asking how this could happen, how they could be abandoned in such
4:14 pm
a way were heart broken or utterly devastated. you know, we, we were incredibly impressed and enthralled with protesters whenever they stood together against the tyrannical regime, the overthrew that ran the country for 30 years and they were a will to band together and trust one another and to fight from freedom. peace and justice were utterly devastated this morning. ah, we are heartbroken to see ah, that behind and hm. at t have decided to proceed in such a fashion. there was no need to dissolve the civilian military transitional government that was tasked with following the constitution and doing everything in their power to protect the sudanese people's aspirations for democracy. after being ruled by a dictator accused of genocide for the past 30 years. so we are, we are devastated this morning to the military leader said that he had to,
4:15 pm
to achieve the aspirations of the people, but the elections will. so go ahead in july 2023. his final goal is still to see free and fair elections. he said he had to work because political powers were trying to hold everything in the hand and weren't aware of the threats as he described them. so you're talking about the general behind. you're talking about the general who was a part of the big sheer regime. you're talking about the general who also participated in the break up of the june 3rd sit in outside of military head quarters. you're talking about an individual with a lot of blood on his hands throughout decades across to dan. we cannot trust what this man is saying. we cannot trust us, that he means, well, we cannot trust that he or hm. at d, general mohammed hm. done. the gallo are going to do what they say they're going to do. they have dissolved the military, excuse me, they have dissolved the civilian transitional government,
4:16 pm
the last standing threat of hope for democracy in sudan. we cannot trust anything, he says at all. all right, sir. what do you want the international community to do? well, we need to do more than condemnations yesterday. the u. s. special envoy was in sudan. we need to see people speak up and speak out. we need to see general, i'm done a gallo, we need to see him at t stand down. we need to see general bar hon sent, stand down. we also need to see the u. s. prime minister. excuse me. we need to see the prime minister of sudan returned. we need to see a reversal of this who we need to see them use restraint and not, not threatened to arrest, detain, and kill innocent civilians, peaceful demonstrators who care about democracy, who want to see democracy who trusted and had the, gave their legitimacy to the prime minister, we need to see a reversal of this coo and we need to see international international and all
4:17 pm
community stand up and stand behind the civilian transitional government, unequivocally. how does it do now? how does it do that? how does that apply? but that sort of pressure on the military leaders. sure that just wanted to dig the heels even further off. we need to see sanctions as against baraha and her matee. now targeted sanctions against baraha and her med t. now we need to see that they demand immediately to return our, the prime minister, and to reverse this, who now the language must be stronger. they need to be on the far on speaking to individuals or who are on the ground and sudan who are making these decisions right now. to really good talk to you when he thinks digital alarm at the sidney's activist in washington dc. thank you. the pager tribes in the east so that they'll end demonstrations that crippled the port of sudan since september. the
4:18 pm
tribes of express support for the military takeover. they say they were excluded from p steals that the transitional government struck with other rebel groups last year. some regional reaction, egypt says the security and stability of sudan is integral to its own security. and as calling on all parties to show restraint, cutter echoed that sentiment, calling on all sides to contain the situation and not to escalate. saudi arabia is also pointing to the importance of restraint, calm and d escalation. that's bringing our corresponded marmott vall, who's covered sudan extensively. but the same question to you is, is international condemnation. good, hold any sway with the military leaders in sudan right now, particularly regional voices. absolutely not. look at the scenario in egypt in 2013. look at that. all the calls that happened in africa. it, including the last one in molly or before that in martinez. many other countries, condemnations are not enough or never enough. and it's interesting that what
4:19 pm
happened happened less than 24 hours after the u. s. and voice of the horn of africa was in cartoon took talking to the 2 sites. so the world, the, the world is looking now at the reactions that make sense or the reactions of make can make a difference. not the worse. everybody knows that the words will not, we're not, will not be enough pressure, understood, understood, is military to, to change what to change their minds about what they did. ab, i mean what the americans will do in action in practice, in the next few days and weeks. that's what will make a difference perhaps. and not sure. we were talking a few months ago about the beta tribes who've been blocking port sudan, they back the military couple of weeks ago. but there was an attempted crew, a failed crew in sudan, and all these, these things linked right down to what happened today yourself. because i mean, both situations seem to support the claim of the military that they are
4:20 pm
here and they did what they did to say to them. they think that things are out of control. i mean, remember that the east, that's what that had sees that said life lay that the lifeline for to them in terms of imports and exports in the economy. the economy has come to a standstill and those tribes have been claiming that they were left out of the power sharing deals of were made in cotton. so the military could use this for it's in a 40, so look to support to strengthen it, sir. it's position as a look. this is the 1st find out what we did is gonna help the situation to them at least economically, and also even politically and security wise. because that was a huge situation when, when the entire east's access to that had, he was blocked for weeks and weeks. a lot of people out on the streets today, there been reports of injuries but, but no real violence. widespread violence of so far. i mean it's, it's, it's very good, very good news that the, the, the,
4:21 pm
the civilians who are against the school they have called them in their leadership have called and then to restrain themselves and not to resort to violence but, but this is, this is key, this is what happens if the military is patience, wears thin with these people. we could see a repeat of what happened in june 2018 when, when they, when they, you know, when the year killed many in that disbanding of the. okay. so this is very dangerous because now the switch is different. now we have more arms in cartoon than for years ago, because we have the malicious who moved in, kept on from other from other sides of sudan. have their arms there and capital now it's different. so let's hope we don't get to that situation, but is there a, an actor, perhaps a globally, we talked about the us who been talking to both sides that just at the weekend or a regional actor who could step in and, and mediate at this point. and, and, and bring around about some sort of resolution before it spirals and,
4:22 pm
and people lose their lives in st. violet. well, i think it could be yes. why not? we have the, we have the saudis, we have some other gulf countries. we have the african neighbors and it, it can happen, but it's, i mean according to my own understanding, it will, it will, it will give a result only if the military know that they have very little, you know, maneuvering space there. you know, if they feel that the alternatives is total chaos, which they may lose their positions or even their lives. or the alternative is, is, is more anxious from the u. s. on their persons and so on. remember that there is a factor of personal survival in all of on all that's going on. the 2 side zone process, other the military think that this is what i heard from many source, these military guys because of the past, the history, they their own history and our forum elsewhere and so on. and they'll be in, you know, us it for a long time, the right hand men of, of, among the sheal fe, belief that once they step down and they don't have power anymore,
4:23 pm
they're going to be slot. you know, and it's a, it's, this is the magic to say, but it's a, it's a matter of personal survival on both sides. they don't cross each other. so any, any, any compromise that any of the 2 sides will it, particularly the military will come at a cost? i mean, or at least it would have to have lots of preparations before it before they agreed to it or accepted? not sufficient, vomit. many thanks out his ear as mohammed vow reporting. ah, but sir, take a look at what else is happening in the world right now. the un says that afghanistan is on the brink of one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, and that millions of people could die to, to food shortages. the you and food program is asking world leaders to take action and to release billions of dollars of frozen humanitarian donations. the u. n says
