war. his promise, a cabinet of professionals. but some analysts say forming a government accepted by all will not be easy if they manage to come up with an acceptable government government that is formed with real exhibit, one independent from political affiliations. who can be trusted to pick the country into election in 2020 city or 20 for us? it was a stipulated before. i think that would be the key. these demonstrate as they, they'll continue to build their momentum for more protests calling for an end to the military rule. several people have been killed since the crew on monday, and many more injured, but protested they, they'll go on until their aims are achieved. he bow morgan, alta 0 harpoon. the united nations has reiterated cole's furl detains government officials to be released. the situation and sit on was discussed at the un for 2nd
2:05 am
day in a row, kristen salumi has more. several council members took the opportunity to day to condemn what's happened, the u. s. called the military takeover, completely unacceptable. kenya, african member of the council before the meeting, i called on the security council to follow the lead of the african union, which is suspended sudan temporarily, and speak with one voice, but so far the counsel has been unable to speak with one voice negotiations on a statement are ongoing that we did also here today from su dan's representative at the united nations and he did not speak directly about the takeover. but he did call on the international community to help a little bodily food on cook. some delegations have expressed their concerns as to what is currently happening in sudan. and while understanding their concerns, we would reiterate the need for the international community and the security
2:06 am
council. more specifically, to continue providing that support to the people of sudan at this very important moment. which is a cross road in order to bring together the positions of the different sudanese parties, civilian or military so that the country can continue with its transition office. which is in keeping with the sacrifice of the women and the sudanese young people. and what has been achieved in the last 2 years in order to preserve the stability as expressed by the sudanese people and in keeping with the juba agreement for peace and the constitutional document. at this time, it's very important to bring the different points of view of the parties and sudan together and ask for that security council statements. we are told by diplomatic sources that 3 draft statements have been put forward by the united kingdom. the 1st 2 were objected to by russia over language condemning the militaries takeover were told that that language has been softened to express serious concern. we may on thursday at last have the council way in on this issue?
2:07 am
well, let's get more on the snow from cameron hudson. he's a senior fellow at the atlantic, cancels africa center and served as chief of staff for the un, special envoy for see don joins us now on skype from washington. d. c. and it's good to have. he withers on the program. international support appears to be growing for the civilian government, the transitional government. do you think the military are feeling that pressure? is there a chance that this could could be reversed? well, it's really hard to say right now. i mean, i think that we have to recognize that the military undertook this qu, knowing full well what the consequences would be on the u. s. envoy was there on the ground just hours before the coup was initiated. warning, the military of the condemnation that would come of the sanctions of the cut off in assistance debt relief that would be suspended. so they,
2:08 am
they took this decision knowing full well what the consequences were. the question is, you know, are they starting to bend now that the st protests have only continued to grow and will likely grow even further in the, in the coming few days. and now that the international community has shown a great deal of resolve in speaking out and condemning this, i think what we'll be looking for is to see whether or not some of the protectors of the regime within the arab world. and certainly at the security council with russia, whether they begin to crack as well, or whether they will continue to hold firm and defending the military. that will be a big determining factors to whether not the military could really hold on. they will, they could count the generals live with western supports, i mean the sit on his front so hard to get western sanctions lift aids for such a long time. is this not a concrete threats or do you think the general's a i've got another source of finance,
2:09 am
it means they're not going to be particularly worried about the consequences. well, i think there is a number of factors that are, that are playing in i think number one, the generals might be saying, well, we lived under us sanctions for 30 years, and we survived just fine again. the people of sudan did not survive just fine, but the elite military generals did. and i think what this coo proves is that the military generals are putting their own interests above the interests of the sudanese people. that's number one. number 2, they may have well received some assurances from friendly government suggesting that they might, i'd step in with emergency funds to fill the vacuum that's been created by the suspension of international assistance into the country. but i think, but the bottom line is that the military took this decision, believing that it could withstand the pressure that was going to come from the street and from the international community. i think only time will tell if that's the case. and in terms of the, the, the army itself, i mean, will they stand firm?
2:10 am
will they stand together because they're presenting a united front right, ny, but there are general sitting next to each other. i don't particularly like each other. and there's certainly factions within the army that don't trust each other. i do you see this playing aids? could we see these generals turner guns on each other? well, that's not, i think the principal concern right now, i think where the fractures within the military are going to emerge is between the, the younger officers who back in 2019 let's recall actually sided with the protesters. right? because they come from that useful generation, that is the majority in sudan. and so they to want to see, i think, sudan free. i think they want as professional army officers, they want to be associated with a professional army that is well respected around the world. they want those training opportunities outside of sudan, so they, they aspire to greater things as well. i think that's where the,
2:11 am
the fisher is right now. i think that if we see the senior level ranks of the military order as they did in 2019 the lower ranks to fire on or to really repress in a blatant way committed tri cities. that's i think, good to be aligned that the younger officers are not going to want to cross. that's what happened in 2019, when the, when the military realized at that time, they were not going to be able to repress the population. and they had to relent. which is when omar bashir was, was removed by his own generals, it'll be interesting to see what happens if these protests turn violent. if the military turns on the protesters, i think that could cause the military to fracture itself. and then who knows what will happen, deeds, cameron, hudson, great to get your thoughts. thank you so much for joining us on al jazeera. thank you. the europe ian court of justice has ordered poland to pay a daily fine of more than $1000000.00 in

e u. laws clash with their constitution. even before the latest action, the governing party of poland, accused the e. u. of blackmail. the $1200000.00 fine from brussels coincided with a harsh warning from belgium's prime minister, aimed at polish leaders. you're playing with fire when waging war with our european colleagues for internal political reasons. this is about the overwhelming majority of member states from the baltic supported gal who agree our union is a union of values, not a cash machine. you cannot pockets all the money, but refused the values that attack contrast it. with a diplomatic approach, the french president emanuel micron had been taking with the polish leader andre duda. however, macaroni had said, well ahead of this meeting that poland needed to make concrete proposals. the
2:14 am
question now is whether poland will be compliant or defiant. what's next? it's hard to say you could expect now the boys government to say, well, sorry, we're not able to pay this fine because it, our own boldest constitutional court has said that this would not be in line with the polish constitution. can the polish government afford to keep going against the majority view of polish people who value e. u. membership that is unclear. andrew simmons al jazeera still had on al jazeera lebanon's top christian politician refuses to appear at an inquiry into the recent violence and favorites. and how gangs in haiti are crippling the countries health care system. ah
