friday, after crunching 16 opposing autocracy democracy, maybe on al jazeera, i will cover all of latin america for most of my career, but no country is alike, and it's my job to shed light on how and why. wow, this is al jazeera. ah, hi there, i'm tim vanelle. this is the news are live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. the african union, suspense, sudan, the and the world bank stops, aids response to mondays, military coup. israel approves plans for nearly 3000 new illegal settlement units in the occupied west bank. one of haiti's most powerful gang leaders lays out his conditions for easing the latest crisis to grip the caribbean country. and the
6:01 pm
e use top court finds poland, $1200000.00 a day in there. this a dispute about judicial independence. i'm satisfied with your sport, the atlanta braves when game one of baseball's world series and with a 100 days to go to the beijing winter olympics organizers release new roles to deal with corona virus. ah, we begin with sudan and the mounting demands at home and abroad for the military to walk back at school. the african union has suspended sudan from all activities until civilian rule is restored and the world bank has put a hold on aid there. the economic pressure internally to state oil company workers and doctor's are among the latest, joins strikes and protests against the crew. and the military crackdown goes on
6:02 pm
with the politicians and activists arrested on wednesday. general abdel father alber hands says he seized power to stop sued on sliding into civil war. the un security council is holding a scheduled meeting that will be mostly focused on sudan ahead of the talks. the ambassador from kenya, which holds the rotating presidency of the security council, said he hope leaders will back the african union. i am more optimistic now that the piece of security council has made this position clear because our colleagues, everyone on the council speaks very often about backing africa positions. so now we shall see which delegations actually buck the african union position. and so this shall make it very clear by the end of today or tomorrow. it's a lot not to have a morgan who's in call to hipaa. obviously things are changing all the time. very fast moving developments. what the, what the day to stay on the ground today. yes,
6:03 pm
can we've been around various parts of her too many. we've seen. many businesses still remaining shut that because when we spoke to the few business owners who were hanging around their shop, they say they're not sure that what impacts the military take over by the army take over, will have on their businesses. they say that they've been monitoring the situation over the past few days, but they said that the reason why they haven't opened the main reason why they have an open is because of the called for civil disobedience. processes have been setting up road blocks and barricades and on, on main street neighborhoods to show the military that they do not want to be. they don't want them to be in charge processes. they've been demanding a return for civilian transitional government. and they want to see the politicians and activists who have been arrested since mondays qu released and brought back to their positions of power. so most of the street that we've been around on, we've seen barricades, we've seen people using blocks using trees to basically farm barriers on,
6:04 pm
on the streets to prevent movement of security forces. but also to prevent people from going out. they say they want a general strike conducted at both federal and state level to should the military, that state and state institution and businesses don't want the army to be in control. however, the african union has suspended. su don, we just heard from ken hughes ambassador to the un saying he hopes that the un security council will follow the a use lead. how do you think general bear home is likely to react to this pressure? now we've heard twice from lieutenant general. i've been put that on since the military coup and in the 1st statement he gave when he was announcing that his dissolving the transitional government, he said that he will not allow external organisations and pouring countries to dictate how sedan should be run. but he also seemed to walk back a little better, but from bad when he gave a press briefing yesterday on tuesday and said that he wants to them to be,
6:05 pm
he wants to cooperate with other countries to make sure that student gets out of the current crisis. now we're yet to see reaction, not just on the statement from the african union, suspended for them from the organization, but also on the world bank says suspending financial assistance to the country. now more than 70 percent of them, 43000000 population are below the live below the poverty line. after the will back, many of them have been relying on financial assistance that was provided to the transitional government that has been dissolved by general and put that on. and that has been suspended. there's a lot of questions about how he will respond. how will he be, how he will be able to respond to the people because the economy is the number one reason that he said he took charged because he said the politicians fail to address the economic crisis and not clear with the world back. suspending the 8, it was giving the transitional government with the african union spending for their membership and with the united states to spending a $700000000.00 financial assistance that was meant for the transitional government . how, how general, how will handle the economy, crisis of the country. all right,
6:06 pm
have morgan, thank you for that update. let's talk about all of that now. with solid in l. jane who is a sit on specialist and political analyst. he joins us now by scholar from the heart. thank you for your time. so we have a lot of pressure, right? we have the african union suspending saddam the world bank and the u. s. suspending financial aid is correspond mentioned condemnation really coming from various courses. is any of this sufficient pressure? do you think the cause general per home to back down? thank you for having me come. in fact, no one has hinted that he's going to a stablish or install a new civilian government within the next few weeks. and probably he will go as far as also setting up some of the institutional structures that has not been established during the last 2 years. such as the constitutional court,
6:07 pm
the traditional legislative body and commissions for election and constitution making constitution, if he succeeded in setting up the civilian um bodies. so the question would be, will he be able to convince the internal factions that are opposing he right now and international, but this, in other words, would he be able to bring in civilian government that would be accepted by the different players, whether intentionally or from outside or what do you think? do you think we would be able to be? i mean, thousands of people have come out in the streets union to striking as a big march plan for saturday. do you think this proposed plan will be acceptable to protest? well indeed, there are a position groups to be moved by the army, but let us not forget also there are other groups. what are back in the army
6:08 pm
because all be before this last monday, moved by the army. there was a split within the city and factions, specifically within the, the forces for change and democracy is sedan. and some of these factions are back in the, the military in there. is there more? but the question will always remain, well, that the, the, the new government will be accepted by all these people. i think that would be the key to the core of the. uh huh. and he's currently going forward to come up with a government that is acceptable by or let us not forget that the previous government, whether result of our policy arrangement made in 2019 between the military and the civilian opposition to the former again. and the sins in the civilian side has been
6:09 pm
divided and some of the of the groups came up and supported the military both so i mean has been also been the division of fraction fractures within the military as well because there was an attempt to cook, just last month so, so how unified, i guess is the military what i mean, some analysts will, will interpret that as part of the pressure from the lower ranked army officers on of that factor and were hand his other colleagues to move because they are not happy with regard to the performance of the, of the government. so in fact, some might integrate that even the, the, the attempted, who has not necessarily a fraction within the, the military military rather as a pressure from the lower on officers on the leadership. how do you read? had prepared, but they were not happy with the performance. the, you know,
6:10 pm
performance is the country there so that the country was pledging into chaos. especially with regard to the low down of the eastern part of the country, the c port and also the, the, the functioning of the government august. again, ok, just quickly, before we got you say some might interpret it this way. what's your interpretation? where do you see this going? i think what were, what seems to me so far that the military seem to be united. that with regard to the army, the robin response forces and the police, the intelligence, and some of the of course the side is deal with the government in yorba last year. they seem to be in a united front supporting this more. on the other side, there are civilian groups who are citing again, is this more especially worried that this is a military took over and my job, but that's the whole transition. now moving forward,
6:11 pm
i think if they manage to come up with an acceptable government government that is formed with a real expert who are independent from political affiliations, who can be trusted to take the country into election in 2013, as announced by a general ha, or even a little south of 24th 323 or 24 as it was the stipulated before. i think that would be the key in terms of granting some sort of stability in the country because, you know, the last 2 years has been very difficult. all the normal cities is offering to deliver what the service and the economic crisis that hit the country very high over the last 2 years. all right, thank you very much for your time set it in. and zane sit on specialists and political analyst. thank you very much for hussy. israel has approved hans for
