focuses on sudan earlier. he told us why this escalation, violence didn't come as a surprise. he's been quite well predicted, and i think that's a bit of a condemnation on the international community. why it's happening now? well, in the days leading up to the conflict, breaking out, there was a push from the international community and from civilian political leads to inc. final political deals that they believed would restore transition. the issue however, was that by and king and rushing to think the steel who was going to leave a number of issues left unresolved. one of those issues happening mainly being security sector reform and the state of the army and the rest of each one which feared that they would be losing power at the expense of another one and a new political deal. despite those tensions clear evidence attention is building between them and the following in the previous weeks pushed it into this deal. in fact, there was a dateline for april 1st. that's when doing

a lease called for to be expected to be signed. and they have the security sector reform workshops, which typically would take months and months of sensitive negotiations and a lot of investments from the global community to ensure that things don't boil over between computer security services. and they wanted to do that with couple of date. well that didn't work out so well. and in fact, i think the point that i'm trying to say is that the rush to get a political deal to political stabilizer. john. actually that strategy accelerated the confrontation between the paramilitary and the army. and the condemnation on the international community western governments and human rights organizations have widely condemned. the sentencing of kremlin critic vladimir cotter mort for 25 years in a russian labor camp. moscow court convicted the prominent russian journalist and political activists of treason and spreading dis,

information about the russian military. rewards as denied the charges. listen, master rushes that the sentence was assigned of moscow's weakness, not strength. it was clearly an attempt to silence to sent a car remorse, as lawyers say that given his poor health, the jail term amounts to a death sentence, a so called strict regime labor camp in russia. it's the kinds of prison in which vladimir kind of mertsa may now spend the next 25 years of his life. the dual russian and british citizen is one of russia's laws, prominent opposition, figures. he's been behind balls since april 2022. russian authorities arrested canada after he did now. thrushes, so called special military operation and ukraine. during his speech to american politicians, he was 1st charge with spreading false information about the russian military. then russian, prosecutors added a charge of treason, the son of
