2:35 pm

2:36 pm
a military take over in am on constitutional manner and their own norm son terms. it is nothing but of a cool. this is by definition of what took place on october 25th. so it's a coo and now you're back to work with the team that you have, who's in conducting a cool all our choices as a human beings are governed by what is possible. as i started my this interview, when i went to this agreement, we had the mind, one thing i still paved the way for our country to get back on the course of transition into a democracy and the civil rule. that's why we took this compromise and we saw in this political agreement company about the bes proceeding to take over the relationship between you and military was terms. but some say that you will
2:37 pm
with dissolving the government. is that true? before what happened on october 25th, there were a number of initiatives, a number of efforts i myself presented to initiatives one in june. the 2nd on october, the 15th, over all the initiatives bill posed. we're aiming at addressing the huge challenges we have been facing over the past 2 years with namely reforming the state institute since. and the part of this is during the transition period, this has been occupying the faults of all the active players, civil and military. sir, prime minister, can you tell me what happened on the night of the military takeover when you were arrested? was about 3 30 in the morning when a number of military officers high ranking officers came to my residence. and they
2:38 pm

2:39 pm
believe that's what happened. i'm all the transitions has been at the expense of the people the month for me. every sacrifice is worthy. they said, and his people have sacrificed their lives, the blood men and women. they have fallen as martyrs on the course of the journey calling for freedom and democracy. how does it feel to be free? again? freedom is a very precious value. you know, one day and cause to nation is that great humiliation to human dignity. however, if you compare it to other sacrifices, but this is denise people, it is nothing was prime minister weatherbug feet of forces of freedom and change. so they have nominated you as
2:40 pm
a prime minister. and now the parties in this civilian coalition artist distancing themselves from, to new political agreement that you just signed with mr. alkahottie. so how are you going to manage the freedom and change coalition is the largest sudan has seen in decades. it has been at the forefront of this glorious revolution. it will remain active and there is no democracy without political parties. however, what is left of the transitional period mandates that all these political parties and functions are required to join forces get engaged with the respect of supporters and get fully prepared to the election race . it is only the election that will take the country into permanent and lasting
2:41 pm
democracy, where the people will have their say and a leg. though, leaders about what about their protest want the streets, the resistance committees say they consider your agreement with mr. al will han at betrayal off to 40 people being killed and more than $200.00 injured. how are you going to convince them? the political agreement was signed was the 1st place, and on one fact, over the past 3 weeks, i have been working on the political agreement simply to avoid further plot. then that's why i hope with this agreement, we will end complete these, the bloodshed, as i said, every drop of blood is pressure. i fully appreciate the anger among the people. i know that many may differ, reject or object to the political agreement signed. however,
2:42 pm
i have no personal gains in the agreements. i'm fully driven by the fact that we should avoid further bloodshed put an end to all the violations . every drop of blood, as they said is very precious and therefore i hope together we can beat a compromise where we avoid further bloodshed and paved the way once again, 2 words transitioned into democracy. so from what you have said, understand that there will be no member of the force of freedom and change in this new transitional period. is that through the whole concept of the upcoming government is that it will be with a technocratic government made up of said the nice qualified professional at that with one and a half years remaining of the transitional period and the upcoming government,
2:43 pm
according to me. and i should focus on very specific issues, chiefly transition into democracy home and the related obligations, namely conveying the constitutional conference and holding the election as a schedule do are fully aware that mom and holding their leg since will require at least one full year. it may drag on for one and a half years and what is left of the transitional period. i hope we can re, it's when an agreement upon an independent taken got to government to lead the remaining part of the traditional period into the upcoming elections. have you consulted with your correlation between assigning the agreement with mr. overhand the model. although i was under house arrest, i was in cognitive communication with
2:44 pm
a large number of wide spectrum of the political leaders of within sedans. i had a very intensive talks with a wide spectrum of the people, all these efforts and all these views. and that's what came together in this agreement was the initiative made by the dignitaries on wise men. the initiatives made by university professors other initiatives were proposed by parties to the peace agreement, in addition to other group and individual initiatives. all these initiatives were melted in one political agreement. could you specify some names as facilitators and mediators? i'm sure that there must be some specific actors involved in this process. there are a number of active players activist lawyers. politicians,
2:45 pm
dozens shut off. so with what happened on october 25th, how can you trust me again? i'm in the process of rebuilding confidence require patients. it also requires all involved to transcend above what is written. we should engage practically to join forces to join hands to agree on the plan forward in absolute transparency and veracity. it also requires that we should all work on the pending issues with your patience and seriousness in order to create the necesary atmosphere whereby we can trust one another's.
2:46 pm
over the past 2 years, there is no doubt, there were a number of positives and these positives can be built on where gradually people can regain trust. mr. prime minister, how are you going to resolve the differences between the political parties? that was the major reason for the whole crisis wasn't warmer. we should not raise our expectations at high under the transitional period. what, but in this manner of a large number of parties and factions, will engage and find common denominators, find a common ground and reach an agreement and if necessary, compromise in a i believe that how do nationwide and the great coalition and can rebuild its spirit and reshape its objectives in
2:47 pm
order to reach the election as a schedule. have you been given guarantees ah, by the army that you will be free to perform your duties as prime minister of the country. this is a key part of the political agreement. i sign up that the prime minister should have the power and the authority to form an independent technocratic government with all the liberty and without any precious. and this is what i signed for. so was prime minister the accountability at least 40 people were killed and many injured, but also there are at raft and harassment. so how would those responsible green to be held accountable? as i mentioned earlier, i pray to god almighty to accept in his mercy,
2:48 pm
the fallen mottoes. and one of the key issues in the political agreement is the necessity. jill, initiate the old out and dependent and transparent investigations for all the violations committed, killing torture, and all other crimes and violations committed over the past period of time. i'm all those found guilty be tried before the court. well, mister prime minister, you have formed many committees in the past and just a few have produced results. why should people have benefit in any committee you form going forward? i fully appreciate the state of this satisfaction among a large number of the committees,
2:49 pm
namely the investigation committees that were formed and failed to arrive at final conclusions and their investigations. however, the issue of tents of inclusive, all our transparent investigations would remain that key objectives. and when we form a committee, we do not interfere in the action or proceedings they are independent and have the liberty to act and professional manners. however, does in swift findings should be arrived that in order to find those responsible and penalize them. so how are you going to pick your ministers? do you have the full independence to be able to your team as prime minister of the country? i think so. i also believe that allows number of mediators and other active players. i'm all those
2:50 pm
who contributed till when creating the current atmospheres and bringing the views closer together. we'll have a bigger role and we'll continue to contribute while forming the upcoming govern. what about their political port prisoners, what is their faith? they're supposed to be released, but is that an a process regarding to that? another key issue of the political agreement was the release of all the political date in ease. i will do all in my power. i will exert all due diligence as specially that today i was released them out of the house arrest. i will do all in my power to have those but it l date in is released and enjoy the freedom of expression and fully practice
2:51 pm
their democratic rights. we'll, we'll do our best and swiftly. is there a process and any timeline regarding their releases of political prisoners? yes, we addressed this issue and there are, for alma says that they will be released within a couple of days. and those days have passed and i believe that they will be released and very soon what got it just to, to, to make clear. and the army has said that several of them are, i have him facing the chars and only they can be released by the court decision. and now with this new political agreement between you and mr. han, so they are supposed to be released without a court decision. is that correct? um um we will, ah, exerting all what we can, we are exerting maximum effort to see them released. so most prime minister justice,
2:52 pm
i'm not talking about the justice for what happened over the past month, but also the process of transitional justice as well. this is one of the priorities of the revolution to achieve justice and inclusive lasting justice, transitional justice, which means that dan, we should all work together to achieve this justice and see just as administered and serve to the root of families of the victims. we also should see this justice allowing our country to move forward with and in this context, we should conjure up the past experiences of sudan and other people's rwanda, south africa, et cetera. however,
2:53 pm
we are all guided by the fact that families of the victims must feel and see justice truly serv. food on has more than one army and several armed groups. so the political declaration that you're signed with mister hubbell hand, i spoke about, i did a to create him a formula to unify the army, and also to speak in about the a security sector reform. how are you going to reformed army, while the army so much in full control, was started working on that particular issue and also forming a one uniform unified army national army with an u combating doctrine. we cannot be back on our feet again unless we have
2:54 pm
a one unified uniform army. and we have democracy restored in order to maintain so dance territorial integrity. it stretches resources and above all, to suffer safe guard the constitutional rights and would allow the civil power still function. so do you have a certain timeline for the present transitional period? are such as are, did the constitutional court and the transitional parliament, and more importantly, dear any timeline for an election with respect to the elections? yes, we agreed upon the fact that the elections will be on or before june of 2023, who the choice of who rules will be left to the people under the ballot box. free

2:58 pm
agreement. otherwise, i wouldn't have taken the office in the 1st place with all the challenges and problems over the past 2 years. and therefore, i'm not worried by the issue of this and personnel gains or my personal status, the decision i made as him. and i believe it was at correct decision and to the best antidote of the people. that's why i moved forward and i signed the agreement. prime minister up to lamb duke. thank you for talking talk. thank ah.
