4:02 pm
factions who had signed are constitutional document. on these occasions, we had witnessed a great deal of disagreements. it was a struggle for power sharing, distribution of legislative council seats and officers of the executive branch. as a result, we have witnessed political fragmentation and it prompted the armed forces to step in. but hannah's also does old. all of sedans, unions, hundreds of people continue to protest against the coo, despite a violent response by security forces. on monday when at least 7 people were killed, the un security council will meet to discuss it on later on tuesday. the secretary general calls on the immediate release of the prime minister and all others who have been detained immediately. sudanese stakeholders must immediately return to dialogue and engage in good faith to restore the constitutional order and to dance transitional process. the united nations read a rates. it's on wavering commitment and support to the realization of su, dance,
4:03 pm
political transition. any attempt to undermine the transition process puts at risk sudan, security, stability, and development weapon. as our correspondent, mom at val has covered sudan extensively. there's a lot to chew over here. what did you make of all the general had to say? well, i think he just that he eat a rated lot. he said yesterday somehow he developed so the points a little bit further and his test, he dwelt on the on the role of the armed forces in keeping security. asked for the constitution keeping the country safe. that's key for him because that's a, that's a strong argument. always the military use it to the to, to justify cruise or not. say this is a cool. some people say it is and some say it is not. he says he's himself was a, it's not a cool. yeah. yeah. so are, so that's the strongest argument on the part of the military whenever they, the interfering in, in power on the highest levels. he also talked about the disagreements between the 2 components of the government,
4:04 pm
and that is the fact that these disagreements came to a head on many occasions. and it's just difficult to resolve those situations except, you know, with the, the, the, the, the things that they did yesterday, you know, taking things and taking, taking matters into their own hands. you know, there is a, a long history on, on both sides. we have a huge, you know, history of, you know, divisions, fragmentation and so on. remember that the, the groups that have been participated this council, the solar carson or the, the change and freedom movement. they are now splintered. each group is splintered in 2 or 3 or 3 components. the military also is not united. i mean, we talked about that. so the, the call that happened last month is an indication of that is a very complex situation and some of the military elements. this is the threat, but they talk about now some of the military officers. they accuse their generals
4:05 pm
of being weak and unable to control the situation and they accuse them of being against the interest of the nation. if they don't do this, then you guys are in power, but you're not able to control. he said he acted to prevent a civil war. so where the threat, where's the threat of civil war coming from? is it from the, from, from the people in the political parties who are arguing, or is it from within the military itself? well, that's a good question because when we look at that the, the civil movement is to that last year, the year before, i'm in the city. yes. we have seen the clash as we have seen the military, you know, using tough that tactics again the against the civilians. we haven't seen violence on the side of the civilian so far. so he could be talking about potential an escalation of this, but there was no proof of what he talked about. i mean, he knows more than we know and he knows that elements in the military who staged and equipped him to lunch last month. probably he's talking about that, but now we have the we have problem in the military. if we don't take matters into our, in our hands, what's going on, what you have seen could develop into
4:06 pm
a civil war because the junior officers, many of them are in jail now, and their salaries are so low. they are also touched by the same problems that touch the civilian population. and you never know. i'll 0, ma'am at vow that manufactured it. ma'am, it's brian elders here is mike hanner in washington. mike, and we'll talk about what the un propose is to, to, to do about the situation and sit down to just a moment or 2 a, but 1st washington taking a very dim view of this crew that isn't a coo, according to the general very much indeed the biden administration is made very clear that it is now reevaluating its relationship with sudan, as it says, as an immediate step, but suspended the $700000000.00 in assistance that was earmarked for the sudanese transitional process to democracy. so immediate reaction problem,
4:07 pm
the bite and administration, the spokesman for the department of state saying that the resumption of democracy must get under way again. and as i said, the administration now completely reevaluating its relationship with sudan, remembering that the relationship has be warming up in recent months. only last year, the us remove sudan from its list of terror entities. there was an improvement in the relationship between the 2 countries, but this now a major hit back in terms of the relationship between the u. s. and sudan and the un security council, as we reported earlier due to meet later today to discuss the situation. what can we expect from that is the number of countries, including the u. k, in the us have called for an emergency meeting of the security council. now that will be happening behind closed doors later on in the course of the day. obviously the u. n. has already expressed ab criticism for the move in sudan. we heard from
4:08 pm
the spokesman for the secretary general in the past few hours. but once again, the un now taking an emergency meeting, deciding what to do, whether there's going to be an immediate decision in the form, perhaps of a recommendation of sanctions. well, that will remain to be seen, but a closed door security council meeting will be taking place midway through the afternoon or at my benefactor did. i'm serious my counter their lives in washington . joining us now from edinburgh. alex to well executive director of world peace foundation. alex previously worked on the african unions mediation team on student alex, the rogers news agency reporting that students prime minister's office says that prime minister ham dog is the executive authority recognized by the student these people and the world. and that there's no alternative other than taking to the streets and civil disobedience. what do you make of that? i'm entirely unsurprised what has happened in the last day and
4:09 pm
a half. it is an unconstitutional power grab by the military component in the, in the cohabitation between military and civilians. violates the african unions principal of all, far constitutionalism and should automatically be rejected by the african union. and i hope also it will be rejected by the united nations. it's an extraordinary gamble by our general albert han to go against what was a unanimous clear opinion from the international community that the constitutional declaration of 2019 of power sharing and transition to democracy shouldn't be a hit to the general. going to have any more luck in sorting suit out. been been that the, the transitional council was having what the transitional council, the, and the government headed by prime minister abdullah ham dock was facing enormous
4:10 pm
difficulties. and there were 3 huge challenges at paste. one was the economy, the 2nd was actually putting in place all the institutions for him are chrissy in the 3rd was consolidating peace with armed groups, particularly in da poor and south dakota fan and dealing with the unrest in houston, sudan, and it is entirely unclear. walked proposals, general alper hand house, protecting these problems. in fact, it would appear as he's just digging himself deeper into the hold he's going to, he's already facing a suspension of us assistance. one suspects that the debt relief that has been painstakingly negotiated by the civilian government will now be put on hold. and one suspects of the groups that have not signed p secretes, which are the most powerful ones in dark or new promotions will not sign any agreement. with them, and of course the majority of the sudanese people who came out and protested people
4:11 pm
brought down the previous dictator, omar bashir of likely to want to do the same again. do you think the general is underestimated public trading within saddam and of how the international community will react to this? i think it's an extraordinary gamble, because clearly over the last weeks, how's the rumors of his it out of his life? take power grab what circulating people did, turn out on the streets in large numbers. and just last week, the u. s. special envoy, jeff feltman was in cartoon and he obtained before he left an agreement between general brohannon prime minister abdullah hancock. an agreement that, that the transitional arrangements would remain in place. so it's a remarkable snob to the united states that within hours of the special envoy, leaving general per hon, would launch a coo and it raises the question,
4:12 pm
can his word be trusted? can anyone actually have confidence that he will fulfill anything that he says he's going to do? alex's always great talk to you when he thinks did alex of all there. and edinburgh still come on the news out. what we have a better demo. we don't want to leave like sleeves 1st security crisis now. fuel shortages at a national strike, haiti struggling to contain multiple emergencies. and it's for the 2017 cheating scandal. cast a shadow over the baseball world series with k one the set to begin in houston. ah, southeast asian leaders holding the annual meeting without mamma's military leader who was excluded for refusing to take steps to end the violence in his country. he seized power in a qu, in february. leaders from the axiom block are also expected to discuss regional
4:13 pm
security as al jazeera scott, hydro reports men, mars john to leader minute lie inaugurated new military ships. that was just days before his neighbouring southeast asian nations excluded him from a regional summit. this week, it's viewed as a potential watershed moment for the block of 10 nations known as asi on, as it's very rare for it to take such a strong stance against one of its own meaning lie stage a coup in february after the opposition one, a landslide election victory led by on songs to cheat. he called the election flawed and has since led a crack down, killing hundreds of people and jailing thousands. some see, this is a foothold for the block to take a more robust than unify positions in the future, including on issues outside the region, the implications or the consequences of this inviting than mine. getting through that and prevailing if you will. and i think that will billable walden appetite more bold enough for take on the more equally more important issues of the day.
4:14 pm
there will be infantry instances where asi and its members can afford to be neutral . and those instances will involve large economic and military powers within the region, and the super powers, the united states and china. while austria members have been divided about china's territorial claims in the south china sea, recent military posturing around the korean peninsula, anti one has prompted a steep increase intention and military build up that has made its way south, many military within austin and are now intent on buying the latest weapon technology and expanding their capabilities like submarines and unmanned surveillance. but purchasing many of these weapons comes with strings attached training and installation by military advisors usually mean involving a country outside the region. and concerns over lack of transparency within the tent, asi members about the new technology and weapons often members are moving forward. quite get some of these without any agreement on how the issues like trust,
4:15 pm
me, trust can be handle how the issues of dynamics between different people. pablo supplying different supplies to different countries can be an impact for relations among members. but many of the foundations are still struggling with the pandemic. as new waves continue to break out and vaccine rates remain low. so governments might face public resistance if they start spending billions of dollars on weapons and not on restarting economies and reopening borders. got either al jazeera bangkok, worn out from now serious florence louis his monitoring developments from kwan lumper. nancy did not send a representative to the ard in summit. it said its participation at the meeting would be either by its head of state or minister. and its also accused often of failing to abide by its charter in not extending an invitation to june to cheap men
4:16 pm
on lang. now, man, my position is the violence in the country is being stoped by who the military government calls terrorists aided by shadow government and says, are the in felt to take that into account. though ozzy has not recognised me on my military leadership, but me on my remains a member of the 10 nation association. and how are you in deals with me on mar, is going to affect its reputation and credibility and tie. prime minister said the situation in myanmar as a test of austin's ability to solve problems within its own region. there are already colds for me, as in to put more pressure on myanmar. they're also called for are going to engage more with a parallel government. this is something that the u. s. and the you have already started to do. now, some analysts also pointing out that the issue with myanmar should cause audience to rethink how it wants to operate in the future. at the moment it's model is based on consensus, and it also holds on very tightly to the principle of non interference,
4:17 pm
but many questioning whether this is going to work in the future or whether it should pivot to something else. perhaps a policy of constructive engagement to be more effective. joining us not for washington is as him, abraham, who's director of news lines institute for strategy and policy and author of the wranglers inside mas, hidden genocide. good to have with us. as in the us, of course, as a close military, economic and strategic allies, to many nations, to what extent is the key to how i see and deals with me and going forward. yes, agents, we have to be very careful here. we have to be aware that he has not expelled myanmar. neither have be excluded them. all we have done here. this is blue. did the leader journal mean ongoing on the other architects of the queue? in fact, i did see that the me on my a able to stand another to present to,
4:18 pm
to the summit. but it has to be civil servant and me on my feet a fuse. and this is not surprising, considering the last team extended an invitation to gentlemen only which was 6 months ago. he came to the summit and the 5 point plan after which this was seen as a huge victory for us. the activation only went back to me on my end to nothing had had been and so this was humiliation to the ascii. anita share an ascii i had in the past. it was a lady strict policy of knowing into feet in 10 years of other nations. simply because many of them have been christian who makes it cuz themselves. so this is relatively quite unprecedented. and terms of excluding the leadership off of me on my path fund a lot. so the woman to actually do with this problem internally and he's going to be able to do so or not, which, which, which comes back to the,
4:19 pm
to my point in my initial question, to what extent as does washington hold the key here in that asked you might be looking to, to the us, to turn the screws here on the military, john to in mamma. you will washington bite and will be attending the summit that he got back to summit. but if the team depended, well, the last few years will be attending. we have to remember president trump did not change any of these kinds of summit, so the pressure as on the end to know too much from time to come to a more realistic solution to this problem. we've also heard recently that the national security advisor, jim sullivan has met the some of the opposition leaders from the national union government. me on my, the shadow government. so the pressure is increasing considerably new on the on to t how much farmers times and come to the solution on this. what do you think they're going to do? then i anticipate that they will try to, you know,
4:20 pm
the body have the 5 point plan. and the most basic element of that plan is to appoint a special on boy to me on mark. you can then act as a lease on between ascii on and between the military. jun tough, even that the military fuse and special envoy simply wanted access to some key the prisoner and essentially opened some sort of dialogue. but even that was on acceptable. so it's very difficult to see what you're actually going to do. i think you have to come to some sort of compromise. and the fact that you do have some champions with an ascii i amongst thailand in indonesia. and he tried to come to some sort of agreement, but it is not easy solution to that. all those people have no been killed. and it doesn't seem to be a road out for me on my military where to go to care as many facts. indeed, as he ever him them washington this little word on progress in negotiations to

free foreign christine aid workers, abducted in hating. there are among many people held for ransom this year in a country seen as increasingly lawless. and now shut down by strikes up to out as here is rob reynolds reports from porter prince. a general strike gripped haiti's capital on monday streets, normally choked with traffic, were practically empty. the usually bustling outdoor markets were mostly deserted. patients say the strike is one way of demonstrating their disgust and frustration with widespread crime, gang violence, a fuel shortage, and government paralysis is coming out of dine of it. and notice on it we want to have about the future. we'll grab about a demo. we don't want to leave like slaves, but this woman said the strike prevented her from getting to her job in another part of the city. i mean, the effect that
