have been killed this weekend with hundreds more burned it, the clash as much of them taking place around the capitol are tomb. follow months of heightened tensions that have delayed sedans. long anticipated transition to democracy. jets roaring overhead. tanks on the streets, gunfire and smoke all around. sedans, army and a powerful paramilitary force have turned their guns on each other. just months after signing a deal to restore the country to civilian rule. the even in 2021. the 2 sides, sedans, army and the rapid support forces or, or s f, joined, forces to seize power from civilian prime minister, abdullah. hum doc an uneasy era of power sharing began. as army chief general abdel fought albert han became sedans de facto ruler lee. while general mohammed hummed on the gallow, better known as him at he kept control of the oris f.

military rule was met with frequent protests as sedans, economic woes worsened international aid, dried up, and fuel and food became scarce. activists marched almost every week and cartoon to demand a return to civilian rule and a restructuring of the military. the version of the sub is, we are out today to mean state the civilian country. we're calling very clearly for the military to return to the bi obvious f to be disbanded by the end of 2022 am, etc. and albert han signed a deal with sedans, main pro democracy group to establish a civilian lead, transitional government. but the 2 generals couldn't agree on a timeline for a merger of their forces and negotiations sold. it was another blow for pro

democracy advocates. would probably need the albert hand in hand metty are fighting over power in this one. and we are fighting for food and drink just that they are fighting over authority and looting the country. and people don't bother with diplomacy at a dead end. confrontation became more likely just days before the violence broke out. the army issued a rare public warning that the r s f was illegally mobilizing its forces around the country. r s f and army forces. now blame each other for starting the conflict and both say they won't. back down. i spoke earlier to christine brought in her too and she gave us an update on the situation on day 2 of the fighting. a salary seems to be used to. we hear some low grumbling sounds and then sharper. thoughts are machine, gun fire. they will fight it overhead again,

at least one internet provider seems to have caught the service and people are also starting to get a bit nervous over the supply of drinking water and food. in many areas, shops are closed. it also getting really hot here with more than 40 degrees celsius . so civilians having to shelter insight with no power to turn on a fan or open a window for fear of catching a stray bullet. so really, really bad situation for many in this mega city. and that doesn't seem to be much awareness on the side of the warring parties over the situation of the civilians. it can help with this into context for us a little bit. this fighting broke out after rising tensions, including over how to integrate the r s f into the military. what do you think needs to happen to see this disagreement settled? well, one united army is indeed a key civilian demand for a potential future civilian government. or you may know that in the past few months, there was a lot of hope for,

for this final agreement between the military and the civilians to happen. and the military handing back the power to the civilians and the key issue of forming one united army of course, would also include that are sorry for that. the results militia was that the r s. f militia was integrated into this army, which of course, is not in the interest of the r f. they wanted to make this a tenure also process. the military push one or 2 potential talks may circle around those topics and reach a compromise to kind of diffuse tensions around. these are these issues, but this is not the immediate concern anymore. or the immediate concern is that both leaders are really amped up now, and that their rhetoric has become hard line since yesterday. both of us have maximum goals for the outcome of this power play,

and it would be really hot the escalade from here and to get them to a point where they may be able to talk eye to eye on issues. so this doesn't sound good for students, long hoped, transition to democracy in, in efforts to de escalate the situation. how useful do you think international diplomatic pressure could be here? well, it's certainly a central instrument, although the pressure must go way up. i think the combined international and also the national pressure needs to reach a certain critical mass mass. we already had quite a lot of heavy weights, a punishing statements yesterday, having their se butting hats together. but it obviously has not brought the results. so raising awareness of the plaintiff, the civilians and of the will of the civilians, they simply do not want to military government any more. they do not want things to

happen as they are happening outside. they want democracy and the free society. and i think that needs to be a lot more messaging on this until the situation can calm down or will come down. thank you so much for drawing our attention to those elements of the conflict. that is, christine wars come to representative for student with the fish ever shift. and thank you so much. orthodox christians around the world are celebrating easter sunday. the most important holiday in their calendar orthodox churches follow the julian calendar where easter falls at a different time than in the western tradition whatever booted marked orthodox easter at midnight mass in moscow. meanwhile, the war raged on in ukraine with one russian missile making a direct hit on a church. behind all the pomp and ceremony, it's business. as usual, the russian president publicly joined easter prayers. he's been accused of weapon, ising religion and his country's war against ukraine. as vladimir putin prayed and
