dies aged $79.00 or into hollywood royalty the actor and producer will be remembered as an icon of the counterculture. i'm call naslund belgium's of the program it's being called a landmark agreement in sue dog the country's ruling military council and civilian opposition alliance has signed a constitutional declaration paving the way for a transition to civilian rule and free elections it's the culmination of months of protests against the military which took power after the ousting of longtime president omar al bashir. they came to khartoum from all over the country to celebrate a historic day the military council is history and a new era begins. today we can finally breathe free again everything was so

expensive we were desperate idea in a festive venue amid foreign dignitaries representatives of the opposition and the military signed the agreement after months of tough negotiations a sovereign council with even representation from the opposition on the military will govern the country overseeing the formation of the government that elections are set to be held in just over 3 years. paramilitary groups will be integrated into the regular army earlier this summer a militia mounted a brutal raid on a protest camp leaving many dead that left a scar but hopes are high that the country can turn the page. that we hope that things will stocks to look up and to done we want to be proud of our country again . and agree on a real passion. for millions here today is liberation day so they realize the road to democracy is anything but easy. let's get more on this now

joining me in studio is thomas he's with g.w. africa and has been following the developments in sudan now 1st of all is this the deal that these civilians want it let's say some civilians because as you can see from the agreement it's signed by what they call the main opposition group that the opposition group is an umbrella organization lots of different groups interest activists human rights political parties all want to have a say in this and whether they will agree. and stay happy with this agreement is to be see you some activists have already said they only want the civilian government nothing to do with the military and some of these people activists have already. let their voices be heard instead that they will go back on the street and protest so there could be protests because as it stands this would be a joint council right how how many how many as civilians how many from the military on the council it they get both of 5 and then they agree on the sixers 2 thirds

majority to the civilians but the question is what people will be holding their eyes on i guess is with they will stick to the reforms and also the colts the military have agreed to us maybe the biggest question hovering over the celebrations the ceremonies today is will this landmark deal hold i think that is the big question that people in south sudan in sudan i ask in themselves and also in the region because it has referred movie cations in the last part of the north eastern part of africa the question is whether these reforms as i mentioned will they take place also i think the biggest issue is expectations remember this actually took place quite rapidly. for the last few years there has been very unhappy people. voicing their dissent and in december they came to the fore with the austerity measures prices tripled overnight on bread and then in

april she was gone after 30 years of a brutal dictator so lots of people have lots of expect asians and i think that's going to be the big challenge with a matter of months there as we heard in the piece i mean the road to democracy in sudan is anything but easy i mean what are some of the roadblocks here that you're seeing. the 1st thing is the economy that is the biggest challenge is sudan has been on the sanctions they lost their oil production a few years back when split from south sudan. then you have simply opportunities for young people i mean is that is some of the reasons why we see refugees even coming to europe from sudan and that is going to be a gigantic challenge that is impossible almost to the soul from one day to the other. thank you very much thomas i'm to africa for the perspective.
