finally. right. in the next fifteen minutes. in the fight for freedom. in the. general elections. from the next government. breaking into the

industrial. you're welcome to the program the people of sudan have succeeded in removing. but that doesn't mean they've won power for themselves of the switch stock the removal see the military council which would please them is the mentation of civilian rule protests. to continue the mass movements which are sparked change in how many faces our correspondents. on the ira brought him. to do those who were killed in the fight for liberation and who is now part of the revolution has self.

and weapon of protest the qatar based graffiti artist has returned to her home sudan to do her part with the uprising that broke out in december she's honoring anti-government protesters who've lost their lives by creating portraits of them in front of their homes. the artwork being there is a reminder to everyone that you know what they died for you. we have to remember the martyrs because. all comes down to they went out to protest for us. of the past months a seal and a team of volunteers have memorialized over twenty martyrs as she refers to them. they did so at a great personal risk. because we painted in the middle of demonstrations with security forces everywhere what would we have done if something had happened when we were doing our last painting we got arrested and feel for.

the inspiration came from moving conversations with relatives of the victims a seal is back in body the neighborhood so some of the tombs most violent clashes. father was killed. a solicitor to complete the mural dedicated to his memory. comfort that. there was gunfire some of the demonstrators wanted to hide in the house my brother let them in some security officers wanted to get in but my father wouldn't open the door so they shot at the door my father got injured she died the next morning. says her family's thankful to the paying tribute to her father for his role in sudan's revolution. as a young woman she's inspired it is a female artist who took this initiative summit in right from the beginning the

idea of a woman coming here to paint was strange i had never seen anything like that and. seen men doing it but that a woman comes and does this it was new. a seal says she is just one of many women who have been a driving force in this uprising. she also wants to stand as a symbol for the freedom of artists in sudan and a catalyst for conversations about change in the future i think art is is the most important thing in revolutions because it's only thing the visual thing that makes you feel like you're there you would appear not this art forces you to speak about what's happening you know today it's not just a specific person but it's what he died for and the cause that he died for. full full full the full of the military transitional council in favor of a civilian government it's a last demand is seal and the community here have in their revolution. that.

assailed hopes that for future generations in a free sudan the last remnants of the country's repressive regime will be these nero's reminding everyone that the very system was overthrown. with me in a studio as my colleague i was in sudan a recent events i welcome back now you spend time with us what does what she's doing tell us about the opposition movements and i think what the says about this particular movement even though it's extremely serious this is a very important moment after thirty years of autocratic rule people finally feel like they have a say in the politics of their country however this also what a seal does and what other artists have done shows that this is a movement with a very very strong need to express itself we've seen a whole movement of artists. that have been borne out of this uprising from day one whether it's with the music that has that was born out of the protests or the

graffiti that you see everywhere and hard to live i was in harlem before in twenty seventeen and back then the walls were extremely very doing the kind of work that a seal does could actually get you into real trouble but now the second you land you see murals everywhere people writing slogans of revolutions on the walls when you go to the sit in area that the protesters all to are to this day still occupied to demand civilian rule there are all kinds of performances and poetry being written and songs being composed so it really shows that people's need to express themselves and this rediscovery of art really if you have bits of it that i think that you actually went to experience on the ground you've talked about that a bit but what reception did you personally gets as a foreign journalist because before it's been pretty difficult right i mean sudan has been notoriously known for its difficulties from reporting on the ground and not to make this about us journalists being there but this is obviously about the people but i i will say that we even in the city an area right in the heart of

heart to in front of the army headquarters we were treated with the utmost respect the protesters there are really reveling in this new kind of freedom and you felt that people were more than happy to speak with you everybody was extremely open and willing to to to share their perspective on the new sedan when we would stand in the middle of the sit in and make interviews people would gather. in their messes which i think shows the interest that people have in this event that it's going on in their country but we faced i would say know little to no difficulties from from the protesters themselves and felt extremely safe reporting on the ground that's the time you start to start and you could you know not the military council says it is likely to extend negotiations. done needs to not planning to transition to civilian government anytime soon how could this play out i think the feeling that you get on. ground at the sit in is that people they really feel that their occupation of the space is their bargaining chip in this negotiation and to them

getting there and holding on to this physical space for so long is what has been pushing the negotiations it is what has given the civilians negotiating with the with the military a legitimacy they have the legitimacy from the people on the streets and if you know the disobedience have accuse the government of stretching this period not wanting to give power and have threatened for civil disobedience and general strikes so i think in the short term what this will mean is that for years seeing the people remain on the streets and stay there and in the long term more distrust unfortunately between the military and the civilians and the young people that have driven this uprising let's see how things go i have brought him many thanks for your time. now. on wednesday voters went to the ballot elections since the end. for the african national

congress. yet voters have given large majorities to the n.c. in past elections. but the party twenty five years after the end of the country remains divided economic and unemployment high twenty seven percent. to find out what people hope this election. we just want them to take care of us take care of our elderly take care of children make sure that. people who. want to see. it. because they need to fulfill the needs and interests of the people. actually help us. so ever when.

you take people seriously and listen to what the people want it's very easy to make promises but it's another thing to actually implement and become the government that people vote for you. because. you know so i think. you'll stay for as long as you need to be. by men in most parts of the world and that's true of ghana but things are beginning to change and women are driving right through this male dominated industry. she's rumbling along the rutted road at the wheel of a giant truck. delivers fuel to. abigail is one of twenty one female drivers at the all women company ladybird logistics. interface we're proud to have the have nots so i'm courage and when you see we have

companies that's all female are the fairest. not gana the whole world so. our day to joy they can pay for is to empower me to trash. the ladybird women are slowly changing attitudes in a tough industry ordinarily dominated by men the reaction from other companies and from male drivers has been positive. drivers we've not had any major in answer than today so i think there's a lot of respect for the men and they realize that these ladies are good drivers and twenty fourteen survey found that just zero point three of the nine women were employed in the transport and storage industry compared with more than twenty times as many men being employed in the sector. but employing women in

a male dominated profession is not only empowering women says paying full it also brings other benefits to business. i think the female drivers are more cautious they're really careful maybe it's a female thing because we are always thinking of all the children that we have at home. and making sure that you don't want to take sex on a risk when every girl heard about the new all female company she jumped at the chance to get involved for her it's not just about doing a job it's about becoming part of a company that is trying to break down gender stereotypes in ghana. from africa you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page maybe now with the images of the revolution. by.
