really matters to young people today. hello i'm christine window while come to africa it's good to have you along sit abrasions have been taking place in sudan today to mark the anniversary of the uprising that erupted one year ago in 2018 the 1st readings took place in the central tang off at barra initially in approach history at a hike in the price of bridge but soon the demonstrations began to sweep across the country by april they have toppled president omar al bashir who had been in power for 3 decades in a moment i'll be joined in studio by a sudanese activist but it's a look back at how it all started.

we want freedom sudanese call it was sudan's young people who became the driving force in the uprising at the forefront women. in december 28th they took to the streets across the country as a huge increase in the price of bread and sudan's diet konami situation became too much to stomach. the protests the 1st of their kind went on for months and the regime's response was brutal. but despite efforts to quell the demonstrations bashir was ousted in april ultimately by a military coup d'etat. demonstrators unhappy at the prospect of military rule then took to the streets again sparking fear of mess of bloodshed more than $100.00 people were killed in clashes 5 months later the military civilian representatives and protest groups agreed on a 3 year power sharing deal former african development bank economist abdullah doc

became prime minister who are afraid of peace justice and the revolution is the people's choice freedom peace justice and the civilian government is the people's choice. but tom ducks tasks a huge with many old faces clinging onto power. and many protesters feel former leaders are not being held to account. we demand rights for the marchers rights for the missing that the national conference be dissolved on corruption stopped i. after the euphoria sparked by the people's revolution the country now faces the hard work of laying the foundations for a new sudan. my guest today is made is sam he is a sydney's activist an artist face changed and it's good to have yeah it's been 8 years since the price of incident how do you feel about with the country today.

actually mixed feelings mixed feeling. between happiness and also kind of disappointment happiness of when your have actually successfully pro down one of the most brutal dictatorship in no history of sudan president that i actually born 3 months after he came to office full force 30 years that actually took from the control over the people in the country to dream of prosperity and democracy and freedom of expression and this is a really happy feeling that to bring down and to see these in the cage and being trailed for for corruptions and and institutions but old so this kind of other feelings come when all these photos of the mater and the people who died coming in your thread in the social media then actually sometimes you feel it's asking you that what you have a she's done to not what did you do it's just worse at this yeah about the mosses those who have died has there been anyone held accountable for those people it is

actually there was there's this different kind of committees being formed seems like what's happening now is a new government not really strong enough to hold the people who are still in office accountable there's some people get accountable for what's happened between . december to opera which is basically part of the former routine when former former governor but is still there is part of the. all of the security structure that is still in one of the pillars of this new government which is based on the compromise the business agreement of june and still needs a kind of strong voices that you're presenting evolution this transitional government to bring those people to justice. especially after the massacre of june which is a most near to the heart of the people that have been just recently and until now we didn't most of the people was in the office in the market in june massacre is still there right and women were at the full french off these protests. it

looks like they're being sidelined now you know it's actually the course that from and actually have paid during the one year of your delusion to not there is not seen what they paid for their women was in the front line and theirs was a kind of a pure presentation of the woman in this new government based on the direction of the prime minister who by having 4 women in the minister kept an 8 and 2 women in the series 3 women sinned in the survey into council which is not more than 20 percent of the government but if you see the evolution swim more than 50 percent if you are leading this meeting the street which is somehow that's showing you that all the time baltics happening in the middle of the revolution that have not fulfilled all of the dreams of evolution social forces and if you see it from other side that if this revolution was filled women would get their revenge from this regime would cost more for their more pain so i seeing that evolution or forces

will understand that and we have better position to transition and of them and based on compromise we're not actually a sheaf as was who want to do all right. thank you. let's go to god and al and a story about a woman determined to break through the ceiling quite literally it damn felicia recently became the country's 1st female. and as. reports soaring ambition does not stop there. 44 year old at them felicia is getting ready for a daily duties to going to national airport in a crowd. at him he's got his face female aircraft marshal or the profession traditionally the preserve of men encounter at work includes properly grounding aircraft for lunch airports and inspecting the runway for elements that's good
