embassy after his asylum was revoked for quote aggressive behavior. on the program but the biggest election that was ever seen him do is are lining up at the polls in the first of seven phases of voting nine hundred million people are eligible to cast their ballots will be deciding the future of prime minister that in there will be. an of a warm welcome to you i'm with that sheba we begin with some breaking news the army has seized in sudan president bashir has been ousted and arrested bring an end to thirty years of rule of the country's defense minister announced a two year transitional government run by the military along with a three month state of emergency he also said al bashir. was being held at

a secure place in the capital khartoum tens of thousands are out on the streets celebrating the sudanese strong man's departure comes after months of anti government tests. joining me now is the use of the ham was monitoring the situation welcome i of what do you make of the latest developments in a car bomb and thirty years. is over now isn't it his rule as an individual as the president of sudan is definitely over he has been certainly now removed by by the military force forced out of power and held in a secret location as the minister of defense announced it's been bumpy thirty years with lots of things happening in sudan his his rule has been marked by a number of things including war famine and conflict but before we continue from there let's take a look at some of the main points in his political career. under

omar al bashir has three decades of all thora tarion rule sudan has suffered devastating famine civil war and seen its territory divided democracy was just starting to blossom in sudan in one nine hundred eighty nine when bashir ousted a young civilian government in a military backed coup. he resisted multiple attempts by the west to weaken his power including being added to the united states list of terrorism sponsors. a crippling drought in the darfur region led to a prolonged famine and fueled a rebellion. is crackdown was brutal the international criminal court in the hague issued a warrant for his arrest it accused him of leading a campaign of rape hunger and fear that led to the deaths of over three hundred thousand people and left millions displaced in refugee camps. despite bashes attempts to prevent it the country split in two in two thousand and eleven when south sudan declared its independence from the north. but she was

a friend to death sports the first arab leader to visit syrian president bashar al assad early in that country's civil war. to multiple elections that returned bashir to power again and again were dismissed by observers as illegitimate. but it was the rising price of bread and fuel that pushed sudanese people out onto the streets in late two thousand and eighteen demanding an end to the decades of suffering bashir attempted to respond to that the whole country is going through difficult economic circumstances it's heard the last portion of our society due to internal and external causes that you are aware of. what. but it was too little too late for months of deadly antigovernment protests culminated in six days of mass demonstrations. after thirty years in power bushehr

was forced out through military intervention. the. protesters are celebrating for now but with the military in power democracy may not yet be given a chance to take hold in sudan. so a lot of the shit is gone but it seems democracy still has not come because the military has effectively taken over hasn't it at least for the next two years indeed i mean earlier we saw the speech made by the minister of defense who he laid out the plan for what would happen now that bashir has has been ousted that he announced the formation of a military council that would take over the country for a period of two years three months of emergency war the suspension of the constitution and also a curfew that's supposed to start today and extend for a month starting ten pm many people i've been speaking to feel like this is just a reproduction of the old regime democracy democracy maybe even be too ambitious but even their main demand which is the removal of this regime has has not been

fulfilled one with the. sudanese union for professionals which was one of the groups leading leading the protest has issued a statement let me just read it out to you i'm paraphrasing of course this was originally published in arabic they say that the regime are sorties have. have executed a military coup and with their reproducing the same faces and the same institutions that the people the great people of sudan have revolted against so that's what a lot of the protesters that are taking to the streets are saying that this is just a reproduction of what a regime now happening through this military council that only has the should also came to power through a coup a bloodless coup the military has supported him all these thirty years why did it decide to withdraw its support now i think it's early it's early to really be sure why they started to do this but there are some clues that might that might indicate why. you're correct he is comes from the military he had to take over in a queen one thousand nine hundred nine but i think the military institution is also

an institution that looks after itself and after four months of almost continuous protests and and i'm going to she had trying to appease the protesters with with some temporary solutions or security solutions as the minister of defense called them today in his speech just were not enough and that if they had supported him perhaps and the longer that that is no longer beneficial to them and maybe if they had supported him or at least let him continue for another for a couple of weeks perhaps the people would have eventually turned against the military or perhaps then this would have resulted in disagreements within the military institution itself which could have disastrous consequences so one explanation could be as this just wasn't worth it for the military anymore to support a figure like ahmed of bashir not you mention that the military has declared a curfew for one month at the same time getting thousands of people on the streets protesting and celebrating now you've lied about what might happen next a lot of the people that i've spoken to have said you know they are determined to

stay on the streets. until their their their demands are met and until a civilian transitional government is put in place or at least the promise of such is issued the curfew officially starts at ten pm so there's still about five hours until until it officially comes comes into force the military or the state in general is not shy about using force so it remains to be seen what actually happens . when the curfew comes into force and how the protesters react to that and we hope that no one gets gets in danger because of that and hope for for a peaceful solution to this i have been him from d.w. thank you very much for monitoring those developments on that breaking news coming out of sudan. turning now to our other breaking news story the founder of wiki leaks julian assange is under arrest in london police have confirmed he has been has of behalf of u.s. authorities on this video shot by rocks the author of the book cost to russia today
