most linked to the synthetic opioid fentanyl and sport. well, number one of a joker, which is in to the semi finals at the season ending 80 p finals joker, which preaching andre ruben. he bids to win this title for a record equaling 6 time. ah, it was been the deadliest day of anti military protests in sudan so far dr. say at least 15 people were shot and killed by security forces. on wednesday, people yet again vented their anger against the military takeover in another mass rally. the army locked down several areas of the city and closed bridges in an effort to prevent people in the north of the capital cartoon from joining those in the south. mobile phone communications were also cut.
12:02 am
ah, dozens of people have been injured by lie fire and tear gas, according to the central committee of sydney's doctors. thousands of demonstrators marching across the capital, cotton and several other cities, and demanding a full handover to civilian rule. they were the leaders of october's military takeover to be tried in court. su, santa has more facilities, capital the by one p. m. local time. people have started together industries, despite the security measures such as a block in day roads, the main roads and some of the bridge that are connecting the 2 sides of the knives to prevent people from gathering. but people manage to reach to the sit and there has been at least protest at a different this fix in har tomb. a particularly the, the 6th grade at the bully district on dorman am. but her districts were the apis centers of the wireless. today the protesters and i, a day i there was demanding the military to step back. they were chanting against
12:03 am
the military barricade in the roads of burdening the tires and all so neither did their, their been having confrontations with the security force. i could see that security forces comparing to the last week. they were much tougher and much more prepared to disperse people. they were fight and tear gas on the protesters and the even using the live ammunitions shooting in the air. and following the protesters until the, till the, they did that the by streets as well. so the protesters are, are of, were demanding an immediate reservation of a civilian government for these of the political prisoners. and also the asked the army to commit to the constitutional declaration that it signed in 2019 with the protest. her z cameron hudson is a senior fellow with the atlantic councils. africa center is also former chief of staff for the you, a special envoy to a student,
12:04 am
joins us live now from washington. d. c, thanks very much for being with us. so would you see this is an escalation in the way that the security forces are getting a protest now? absolutely, yeah. i mean, i think we've seen over the course of the last 3 weeks since the coo, a steady ratcheting up of pressure by the military on civilian protesters, attempting to limit those areas of the city where they can march and protest. we saw today that they shut off cell phone access, so not just internet access, but cell phone access to dissuade and deter protesters from being able to organize themselves. and we've seen other reports now today of a lack of medical care being able to access the areas where protesters are being injured, not being able to get the hospitals. so i think of a pretty slow but steady ratcheting up of pressure by the military to try to limit the ability for protesters to get their message heard. what are the effects of these tactics will be well,
12:05 am
i don't think that it's going to dissuade the civilian protesters from taking to the streets. i think that the one thing that we can can count on is that the mood in cartoon and across the country is that there is no going back. and i think that we are seeing, you know, as we see people take to the streets day after day after day and continue to be killed, continue to be detained and harassed for speaking out publicly to speaking in or to international news media. and you know, they are not being deterred. and so i think the military and frankly, the international community has to recognize that there is an immovable force of millions of people in this country that have to be dealt what they have to be heard . what you make of the kind of the makeup of those in charge of mina al, behind the maternity, to who to kinda say to emergency last month he set up a new governing sovereign counsel. didn't t do no more. but what, what, what they're doing and what that taken on how to operate should be well, it's really interesting because i think what we've seen thus far from some of the
12:06 am
appointees by general hahn is that they are expecting this to go back to normal. that the international community will essentially lose interest and decide to move on the, the finance minister appointed by the military said just yesterday that as long as there economic policies are good. and there's no reason why the international community shouldn't be lending to sudan irrespective of the form of government that it takes. and i think that that just shows a, a fundamental lack of understanding about the, how the international community is viewing this and their expectation that all will go back to normal if they can just wait out this, this turbulent period. internationally here has the most leverage at the moment i was down to, to bring things back to some kind of phone democratic situation. well, i think there's, there's 2 factors that are not being exploited right now. one is, is the regional actors. the african union has been far too, i think, quiet and timid in allowing his protest to take to take place. but not speaking up
12:07 am
in defense of the protesters and not taking a more active role in trying to mediate a return to civilian rule in the country. at the same time, the african union, it needs the strength and support of the international community, particularly the west, to defend the democratic ideals that are being fought for in sudan. so that means the united states and its european allies stepping forward, speaking up, imposing costs on the military to try to re balance these negotiations in favor of civilians and using all the tools at our disposal. let's. let's remember that the u . s. secretary of state is in neighboring kenya on the continent right now, all of this is happening while there's a large u. s. presence on the continent. so they're clearly not concerned by the, the condemnations that have been coming from the west. it's time to ratchet up those condemnations into actions that the military can feel, cameron hudson, thank you very much indeed for your analysis. thank you. thank you. and your sex

that have emerged over the pastor over the past year. the united nations. and if you piece human rights commission, say up to 1000 ethnic to grands, have been detained by security forces. all sides in the conflict have been accused of committing atrocities against civilians. and the fighting has continued. despite a flurry, diplomatic activity, the african unions envoy, foreman, nigerian president, or less a good, a bustle, a stalking to both prime minister abbey's administration. and that degree and leadership, which is listed as a terrorist organization by the government, the us and other international partners, as well as regional leaders, are also involved in peace efforts. we must believe in the fortitude and the wisdom of the ethiopian people. because in the end, the solutions will come from them. what we must do as neighbors is to support is to
