to be ruled by the military chiefs who ended the thirty year regime of president omar al bashir but the army is still very much in charge here even though bashir is immediate successor to even a general link to the genocide in darfur plus a just one day in the top job. another use i announced a time stepping down a civil leader of the transitional miter council i'm selecting instead of someone whose expertise and competence i can trust. he will take the ship to the shores of safety i have chosen lieutenant general abdul fattah to rahman to succeed me as president of the military council. so one army commander has replaced himself with another on the plus side the new chief both is not wanted for war crimes. but the protesters want

a clean break and reject out right to the military's plans to rule the country for two years before calling elections. to deny because women christmas is no change our revolution is continuing change is still coming it will be much better we won't have any supporters of the regime among us only the sudanese people in a good job why lies in we don't want regime supporters at all we are free revolutionaries continuing on our course the regime must fall. the international community is calling on all sides to show restraint what is very important that now in the present very fluid situation that the human rights are observed and the right of assembly and we have to come to a credible and inclusive political process that will lead to the transition that we all all want despite placing him under arrest the military says it won't hand over

the former president omar al bashir to be international criminal court in the hague for his role in the darfur killing the people are pleased to see the back of their old ruler but the protesters have failed to stay on the streets until a civilian not military transitional council is in place. joining me now to talk more about this is the. knot of thanks for joining us the defense minister has stepped down abruptly as the head of the interim military council but he's now being replaced by another military man this isn't the kind of democracy protesters according for as it really we saw in the report that the protesters will carry on protesting in the streets and with their city in front of the military. headquarters in khartoum but there might be kind of this compromise now with that this new objects that the one hand general in the

sudanese army he was a general inspector and now he can be the figure who leads to a more civilian or present transitional government we know that this general is not linked to the war crimes or he's not being sought by the i.c.c. in the netherlands so he might be a figure that the protesters cannot agree upon and we heard today that there will be a meeting between believers of the protestant civilian opposition groups with the new head of the military council and so we are waiting to know what will come out as this meeting so a move in the right direction but is there any chance the military will completely hand over power to a civilian government not in that moment not. in the next few days i guess i think there will be a kind of transitional period that the former head of the community council said it

will be two years there was a big outcry in sudan why two years we didn't go in the streets to wait two years for the transitional government now they are they are talking about three months transitional period so this could be a kind of a solution for the crisis now in sudan. let's talk a little bit more about the protesters who all they and what's uniting them now that bashir is gone the protesters are basically from all walks of life we saw that the association of professional sudanese is the head of or heading this these protesters and also other opposition groups a position of parties who have been thirty years under the rule that you couldn't actually take part in but it's a good life now they're coming forward and they're trying to you know unite against the the former regime and they want all the fingers of yours regime out of power

canada cyrus thanks so much will be coming to you back to you in just a moment to talk about a similar story that's been unfolding in algeria thousands of demonstrators have defied riot police that to stage a mass protest in the capital algeria's it's the eighth friday in a row and interim government has announced elections in july to replace the ousted former president of the. opponent say the old regime is trying to cling to power just in a new guys. for more i'm joined now on the phone by journalist john miller who is in the algae is jamila people have been taking to the streets against the old elite for weeks now how much longer will the military tolerate these protests. jim and i can you hear us. jim lehrer you don't hear us.

can you hear us. all right looks like we're having some problems with the line that we will try and reconnect with jamila what i'm going to do now is go back to. us if we can just talk about we were talking about sudan just now a protest in the in algeria there a strong similarities between these protests it all sounds very similar to the start of the arab spring movement back in two thousand and eleven it does and all the people know there are broad they draw parallels to the uprisings of two thousand and eleven. actually it's actually the same scenario people go out on the streets against corruption against prizes of fuel and or high price of fuel and bread and it develops very quickly to goals for the

regime to step down or the president to step down so it's led mostly by young people young people in the most of their countries are frustrated there's a very large unemployment under among. half of the population all sorts of nine million people in a jury are young and thirty nine thirty percent almost are unemployed is a very very high figure and i can imagine that now with social media people see ok other young people in other parts of the world they have jobs they have good education they have all that what we lack why doesn't our government or why don't our governments do anything against that why why all this corruption we can stay calm in the face of this corruption in face of all these. situation so i think we'll see also in other countries also maybe in sub-saharan

countries similar movements against longtime dictatorships and presidents. we have to wait there are no people who say also are countries like egypt who have their let's say. spring two thousand and eleven there might be a kind of a repeat of the this movement a repeat of these events because the youth there in. egypt is still very. dissatisfied with the regime there and the government there are very strong emotions and frustrations bubbling all right cyrus thanks so much for your analysis . all right let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world today north korean leader kim jong un says he's open to a third summit with u.s. president trump but kim says washington will have to be more flexible in its
