running around in circles we turn a spotlight on this theater festival in brazzaville that is trying to focus on reigning matches to young people today. hello i'm christi paul come to africa it's good to have you along celebrations have been taking place in sudan today to mark the anniversary of the uprising that erupted one year ago in 2018 the 1st randy's took place in the central town at barra initially in approach haste 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 bess and 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 $2800.00 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 regimes 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 became prime minister who are freedom peace justice and the revolution is the people's choice freedom peace justice and the civilian government as 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 was kind of on a hot shot. 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 me it is sam he is

a sydney's activist an artist based and it's good to have yeah and so it's been 8 years since the 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 you're actually successfully pro down one of the most brutal dictatorship in no or history of sudan president that i actually born 3 months after he came to office full force is that actually took from the can to go from being people in the country to dream of 13 democracy and freedom of expression and this is a really happy feeling that to bring down and to see this as from behind the cage and being trailed for for corruptions and and harming constitution is but also this kind of other feelings from 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

that's what you have to shift into not what do you do it's just worse it does yet and you see are talking about the losses those who 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 there's a new government not really strong enough to hold the people is 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 regime of former former governing but he still is. full 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 it still needs a kind of strong voices that you're presenting evolution this transitional government to bring those people to justice. after the massacre of june which is a more sneer 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 and 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 yeah it's actually the course that foreman actually have paid during the one year of her volution to see the result not seen what the they paid for their women was in the front line and theirs was a kind of a group presentation of the woman in this new government things on the direction of the prime minister who by having 4 women in the minister company 8 and 2 women in the series 3 women in the survey into council which is not more than 20 percent of the government but if you see their volution swimming more than 50 percent if you will who are leading this leading the street which is somehow that's showing you that all the time comprise baltics happening in the middle of the revolution that have not fulfilled all of the dreams of the revolution social forces and if you see

it from other side 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 are forces will understand that and will have better position transitional government based on compromise will not extradite she was for you should want to do all right . thank you. let's go to gun and and a story about a woman determined to break through with a saving quite literally it damn finish i recently became the country's 1st female . and as. reports soaring ambition does not stop there. 44 year old adam felicia a tipple is getting ready for a daily duties to going to national airport in a crowd. at m. he's got his face femal aircraft martial art the profession traditionally the
