our countries who. had this this are feeling like syria and like egypt mostly egypt is. you know kind of a bad example for what could happen in sudan they don't want the military to take over but. specially the young people are leading these protests and they're not aware of what could happen they are actually it's i would say normal that this is taking place people are very fed up with the dire economy situation there the bad education the corruption and they take the streets are going against all these. situations but. we should not forget that sudan especially is seen as the african country as well arab and african country and this what's happening now in sudan can be a very strong signal to other sub-saharan african countries mainly
