7:15 pm
set up, had been established by prime minister, come dork. about of course the main trust of her attendance to prevent cool was waste. so military as to the abstract sounds in my hand. it is way too early to tell. now it is interesting that general, perhaps, as one of the reasons for me as he sat for the army to act, also cited a dire economic situation, which has been severely impacted in the last 4 weeks. it was a chloe sure off the c port for sudan and main road leading from parts of the country and the rest of the country. now we have heard today and again, i cannot as certain details, but i'm the primary leader. now the terrorist who has been maintain
7:16 pm
a disclosure of support which has well count z, prove in cartoon and promise to lift a closure. so that might then immediately the to some economic relieve your monetary in between and it's more long term say, and i don't think so into a national community will let their monetary support to sedan, which is indeed very, very necessary. other other mean some statements also from member states or senior special envoy has alluded to other means by member states. united nations is not a stick wielding organization as you know. but we can definitely just
7:17 pm
a small statements try to offer to mediate, to bring parties together, which will have to happen at once. teams called down. and of course, there are voices, both sides of the political spectrum was things like see united should have a role here in bringing parties to get her to one table to lay out for what remains to be a transitional care. you thank you said thank you. my name is it's m, as in from mulatto beach. i didn't use paper. so 1st, could you please give us an update if, even if it's the short one about the humanitarian situation in sedan a and a in general. and then also how worried are you that the situation codecs killer to a civil war, or even a, a and a, if you could,
7:18 pm
have you been in contact with an uber, hon, or any of the military and the personnel since their announcement? i can you move freely. thank you. well, questions, unitarian situation as that has not changed from yesterday to today. we have more than half of the population in sit down that need some form of your military and support for the aid or others. and they said, of course, were not immediately change into one direction or the other. we have a different ring, a ration particular is east and west just for about also we have seen shorter just have conceived shortages all branded as a supply him since a closure. oh, so it's the closure,
7:19 pm
it is listed within the next day or 2. we will see a bit of relief. i'm not restricted from resume. so many streams are simply closed through demonstrations and road blocks set up by it's just so called resistance committee. some other side to actor, so simply angry you are on the street so it is not advisable. ringback to move around, i have not to answer your last question. i have not seen any all see military leaders today. and i guess i will sit down in the next couple of days. today, it is very, very difficult to reach. the internet and telephone lines are down. so that is volker paradigms. he's the un special representative to sudan,
7:20 pm
as you can see from the screen. he's in hard to me at the moment, and he's briefing the press in new york and he's been updating them on the soft moving development out of sit down in the past 12 hours or so. when of course is you know, the head of downs, military launched a crew dissolving the really council. what she said was, has been divided by in fighting what the you, one special representatives to, to don was just saying a moment ago he was calling on all sides to exercise the utmost restraint. he also called on the military to release all who have been detained and calling for a dialogue once again and the restoration of the constitution. we're going to keep an eye out on that press briefing and to bring you any more information as it developed. we earlier spoke, so i've been hon. a shave, who is a student who's attorney based in buffering? and what he said is that the military is running a brazen effort to legitimize its take over. we don't have a civic in lead government because you just hold the spring to cancel. you just
7:21 pm
hold the cabinet. what else is remaining? this is, these are basically the pillars of the political agreement that the find the, the transition metric council find a c before the, before the constitution talk to. so what's remaining is basically a transitional ministry transition council trying to, to, to get on the country with certain provisions of the, of the, of the constitution, dr. to make it look like this is not a cool, but it's a cool. there is, you know, 3 main factors that lead to the school. one of it is there is an argument about who should be running the the, that the military should be handed over the, the presidency of the 70 cancer to civilian. this was an issue and it should have been resolved in november. another issue might be the icpc on handing over icpc criminals through the to the, to the hague. so i guess i'm also the economy. the economy is being the sudanese government has made it very clear from the beginning that one of the future study
7:22 pm
has to do is to go back into another community and they've done successfully that. so we have the sanctions been lifted from americans. we have the hipaa initiative agreeing to wave certain certain depths from sudan included principal and interest . so i think we were in the right track. yes. slowly but we were in the right track . so to use the argument that the sudanese government failed to, to add here to what this is denise, people want to need as, as it's ridiculous. turning on to some of the days other news on turkey's president says, welcome remarks by 10 western embassies saying bill abide by diplomatic treaties. vegetative berto, i had earlier said the ambassador, as must be declared persona non grata or stripped of their diplomatic status. and immunity was in response to the us and others issuing a joint statement, calling for the release of gerald business, mine or mine kabbalah. on monday the embassies tweeted and retreated that they
7:23 pm
respect conventions about not interfering in a host countries. internal affairs are so far as ours, following developments from a stumble. this is a, a sad, very strong sign off at the escalation or by the ascending countries. so just to a, to take you to, to put it into a context. there is a business man whose name is osman kabbalah, and he has been accused or financing the nation wide protest in 2013 and later he also has the char has been charged or accused of having a rule in their failed air qu at town. in 2016 then in 2017 has been a raster says than on. there has been a trials going on. the european court off human rights just 2 years ago has ruled that there was no enough suspicion that shows the aust, michaela has committed that that crimes and that he should immediately be released then they did their their the european council also has warrant turkey. if was
