long feared violent escalation has engulfed cartoon. police and army chased demonstrators through the streets. gunfire and explosions have shocked their protests breaking up the peaceful city. but even as a flee the bullets the protesters mock the army and repeat their demands for change . freedom peace and justice civilian rule this month chant these protestors. others and circled by the troops plead with the military to hold their fire. peacefully peacefully they shout. but since the early morning sudan's capital has been anything but peaceful. protest leaders have stopped cooperation with the transitional military council calling the crackdown a bloody massacre and said i cannot even evacuate the bodies of the dead they are

calling them martyrs. hundreds of the injured are being treated in cartoons row care hospital the sudan doctors committee says the death toll is difficult to count and can only rise but the army is meeting determined organized resistance the opposition have thrown up their own roadblocks in response stringing stones and burning tires across the city. right after the dispersal of the sit in we went back to the streets and squares and thank god with the help of the youth we closed the street and we will close everything again god willing. to a day of violence by the army may have broken up the protests to sit in but it seems to have simply dispersed the resistance throughout khartoum. joining me now is michael egan i just returned from sudan from the country. and is in close. on talk with activists who out monitoring the situation thank you very

much for your time now for a long time this situation was fairly calm until this sudden escalation what are your sources telling you so they're telling me that this morning at about 5 am today monday some forces which appear to be right that support forces stormed the sit in and started violently dispersing protesters there my source on the ground was one of one of hundreds gathered around the main clinic at the sit in the heart of hearts to him he said that they had to run away as fast as they could because 1st it started with tear gas and then it started with live ammunition and now he and this group is. now hiding in one of the main hospitals in the surrounding area of the state and as you said there have been weeks of relative calm i would say complete calm because there have been other more sporadic attempts to disperse the sit in and attack the barricades that surround the sitting area none have been as violent as what we've seen today which was

a full scale attempt to completely disperse the sit in so i guess the question is why now when you have that many to seem to you know quite tolerate tolerance of the protests why i talk now i mean the military has says a lot of things in public but then what happened on the ground seems to contradict that greatly and there are number of reasons for this there's there's there are some there's some speculation that the military council is actually not acting in complete unison because you have the head of the military transitional council but han and the deputy. have that he who is the head of the route that support forces and the rapid support forces according to eyewitnesses on the ground are the forces that are involved in attacking protesters at the sit in area this is what i would say and just a little bit of by going to the right that support forces this is a paramilitary group that operates under the sudanese military times but also sometimes is subject to the authority of the national security authority they have some of their roots go back to the judge and lead militia which. have been which

are accused of committing atrocities in in dar for the genocide in darfur which is responsible for the death of hundreds and hundreds of thousands and there is an opinion out there that they might not necessarily be on the side of a peaceful transition to civilians because then that would eventually lead to a situation where they would have to be implicated for their crimes talking about transition as well saddam's a position then puts his group by and says it is holding all contact on the positions with the country's major council now is there any hope now for that peaceful transition be so dearly want think it's early to say where the if negotiations will continue of course today the wind is very fresh still the protesters that i've spoken to feel extremely betrayed they were sitting you know some of them sleeping this is the holy month of ramadan the hour at which they were attacked is an hour of speech rather spirituality. the sunrise hour so it's early to say but for now that's what the forces are saying that they will help negotiations i think if negotiations are hosted completely and we come at

a complete stand still we would be. we would not know what the next steps would be but one would hope that somehow the parties are able to come back to the negotiating table just to avoid the shedding of a more blood on the streets of sydney i guess only time will tell i ever him thank you very much. and today is well bicycle day so where better to talk than my home country got off that's a project that's trying to raise funds to support young women who want to join professional cycling world they're hoping they can be the game changes in growing the sports. life is better known to hills. preparing for today's training session. leading the 15 year old may be. many of the kills fans aged between dane and 17 year old
