coup attempts ever since it gained independence in one nine hundred fifty six. in one thousand nine hundred ninety omar al bashir seized power in a coup of his own and managed to hold on to that power. up until just now. but the way in which bashir was ousted has left a bad taste in the mouths of many sudanese to them this seems like simply another coup and the new leader might just be another military dictator. to disobey god that the good is all this is a false name did not fool here this is a reproduction of a same vision. we do not accept this and we will stay on the streets and to the regime changes can legally it was limiting it's not right that the government has repressed us and now still wants to see control and power over us. as young people

maybe one of the top three players in the world he was unbelievably gifted but also what always stood out was this work ethics and the ability to incorporate new moves and different things to his chamber always develop always got better civilian credit to and he's also incredibly tall right mean you're tall man but he's taller than you right now he's definitely taller and he seems like a nice guy i mean there he is i'm signing autographs we know that the fans in dallas i mean there was this outpouring of emotion for him and from him at the last game i mean is he really is nice and as he seems to be i think it's very authentic . my experience with him as a teammate but also coaching him in two thousand and fifteen lessons of course on the german national team. it never failed and that he was really really will be good with his teammates a family guy. funny always funny and funny jokes about himself but it also how to

a lot of talented players but it's unique and i don't think we'll ever have another one we'll have a lot of good players and maybe also a great stars we have one on a good way that is what a great shop in the n.b.a. and but still growing and will see where he ends up but there's no comparison to do ok before we get about thirty seconds here of what's your favorite memory of of the year ok playing in the boss' medal game we're up forty he gets subbed out and we find out that he needs two points to be the top scorer of the whole games and he looks at the scoreboard and says no i don't need to be plain i don't need to be playing no he didn't need to score in titles so that's. yeah that's that's what he is and that's what he was about and we appreciate you coming in and sharing your your thoughts and your memories with us thank you thank you. you're watching the news coming up next in business it's said to be one of the biggest oil refineries
