the of the fighting now the meeting between the warlords who for have to and the egyptian president abdul fatah had sisi might come in terms of addiction support to the world really for have to we know that egypt to egyptian army alongside the united arab emirates and saudi arabia have been supporting the warlords really for have to have been supporting the military operations led by have to in the east. of libya we also know that.

tomb they were not exactly the leaders of sudan and the proof to that is that despite one general abdul fatah one took power the sudanese professional association called for people to continue protesting but we have seen the number of people out in the streets getting lower and lower as to it seems like those in the streets have a mind of their own and they don't have a political party to represent them so it would be very interesting to see if the political parties to down together with the military council whatever they came out with will it appease the people who have been in the streets or you know they're the people trust the military more. the political parties do. i mean part of that building the trust between the people and the military is that the military says that it's abandoning the curfew that it put into place on thursday and it's freeing anybody who was who was arrested while demonstrating. it's also left in the state of emergency which was put in place initially by president bashir and then brought down to three months by his successor who is absent for pre-disaster now.
