you're welcome to the program the people of sudan have succeeded in removing a long term dictator. but that doesn't mean they've won power for themselves of the mosque protests which sparked the removal see the military council which would please them is delayed in the implementation of civilian rule protests. to continue the mass movement which has sparked change in sudan how many faces our correspondents. and i brought him. to do those who were killed in the fight for liberation and who is now part of the revolution has self. spraypaint. test. to do with the uprising. 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 i've done that it all comes down to they went out to protest for us. over the past months a seal and a team of volunteers have memorialized over twenty martyrs as she refers to them. as they did so at a great personal risk. that someone we painted in the middle of demonstration 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 times most violent clashes.

father was killed. a solicitor to complete the mural dedicated to his memory. comfortable of self 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 he died the next morning. with song. 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 near. 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 in the cause that he died for. the full full full the full of the military transitional council in favor of a civilian government that's the last demand a seal and the community here have in their revolution. have. a say in hopes that for future generations in a free sudan the last remnants of the country's repressive regime will be these

murals reminding everyone how that very system was overthrown. with me in the studio as my colleague. and sit down recently to events welcome back now you spent time with us what does what she's doing tell us about the opposition movement 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 my i was in khartoum 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 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 been that i think it's you 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 john is because he's always 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 sit in area right in the heart of khartoum 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 masses which i think shows the interest that people have in this event that is 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. the star system the good to know not the military council says that is likely to extend. doesn't mean not planning to transition to civilian government anytime soon how could this play out i think the feeling that you get on the. ground at the sit in is that people they really feel that their occupation of the space is their bargaining chip in this negotiation for 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 been legitimate see from the people on the streets and if you know the civilians 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 need is that we are 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 brought him many thanks for your time. now. elections since the end. for the african national congress. yet voters have given large majority in past elections. discontent with the party

twenty five years. 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. they need to feel. the people and i think would actually help us. so ever when. i. take people seriously and listen to what the people want it's very easy to make promises. 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. the trucking industry by men in most parts of the world and that's true of ghana too but things are beginning to change and women are driving right through this male dominated industry. she's rumbling along the right to drive at the wheel of a giant truck. delivers fuel to. lines abigail is one of twenty one female drivers at the all women company ladybird logistics. service we're proud to have me in knots so i'm courage and when you see we have companies that's all female is the fairest time in. not gana the whole world

so. there will. be joy they can pay for it to empower me to tranq. 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 incident today so i think there's a lot of respect from the man and the realize that these ladies are good drivers and twenty fourteen survey found that just zero point three of the nine women wimp lloyd 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 mouthful 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're always thinking of all the children that we have at home. and making sure that you don't want to take sector with 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. and that's it from v.w. news africa you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page we leave you now with images of the revolutionary worlds apart. i think no.
