hardship. and we hope that those who cause deaths will be immediately held accountable that's one of the amid the celebrations some hold the last images of those who lost their lives in the struggle more than 100 people are believed to have died in crackdowns against protesters according to doctors several soldiers have now been detained over the recent deaths of 6 demonstrators giving sudanese hope for justice and peace. and our reporter avraham has been following the latest developments and also reports that in sudan not very delicate a.s.o. last month the poteen signed a power sharing agreements they've now signed or reached an agreement on the constitutional debt. a nation what is in it so it's important to perhaps go back and summarize what they agreed on in the power sharing agreement this was basically the nuts and bolts of the transitional period there they established that it would
1:12 am
be 3 years that there would be a sovereign council made up of civilians and military and that its leadership would rotate and also they decided who would get to rule the sovereign council 1st which would be the military then followed by the civilians the constitutional declaration is meant to flesh out these details we don't know all of the details in the agreement yet but we have some we now know that it will be the opposition the forces of freedom and change that will appoint the prime minister and that prime minister will then appoint the cabinet however the ministries of defense and the ministries of the interior will be appointed by the military so a huge compromise there is well there will also be a legislative council made up of $300.00 members this will act as the defacto parliament of sudan and the f.f.c. will get to a point 67 percent of the members of this legislative council there are some unclear points the very contentious point of immunity for military leaders and accusations of brutality towards protesters that hasn't yet been addressed but that
1:13 am
was a very contentious point ok. when omar al bashir was removed from office price has continued with people demanding a 100 percent civilian death and they didn't get that but we see pictures of sudanese people celebrating what are they sort of leaning i mean i was there in april right after i'm going to shoot fellow and people were very committed to you know and it made the name of the knee a civilian civilian is the clarion call of the protest but since then a lot of the country has seen a lot of violence and a lot of loss of life and there's just a sense that something needs to happen something needs to be signed for a new phase start there's a huge recognition from everyone that i've spoken to that this phase won't be easy this this will be the true test of the gains of the revolution if you will and it was i think it's become very clear for the civilians that the military is just not going to back down and perhaps trying to. glued them would only create more of a rift between you know on the streets and then would lead to even more violence and even fears of something more serious like a civil war. but you know people really do recognize that you know in these 3 years
