has an advisor on the africa program at the united states institute for peace we appreciate your time very much so what do you make of how it seems that at least so far the military is being somewhat responsive to the protesters. i think that there's a fundamental dissonance here however shuttle between what the demonstrators have been demanding for some months now including as you said in the segment as recently as this morning in terms of calling for a civilian led transition and what we haven't seen in the ups and downs of the last week is really anything that looks any something that looks anything like that and so i suspect that this is not this is really not even probably the end of the beginning of the story certainly heartening that the demonstrators have have constituted a negotiating team that has met with the military council and certainly that's an important step but i think we have to be very very cautious in terms of thinking that there is any narrowing of the vast differences between the path for the military council has charted and what the aspirations of the demonstra

the manager takeover is not an appropriate response to the crisis and self is an advisor to the africa program at the u.s. institute of peace he says the international community must help lead sudan's transition it's increasingly clear that a military government with or without bashir will neither have the political nor the economic resources necessary to address the crisis of legitimacy in the country and the crisis facing the economy and so i think we're looking at a very unstable potentially road ahead with a military government if it tries to do so absent much indication that it can succeed in that endeavor i think the risk that sudan faces if there is not a an international and domestic center of gravity around a civilian led transition is that the security the security elements fragment and you see chaos unfolding in the country i think again you need not only that that international consensus to form. to prevent that from happening but any civilian led transition or indeed any transition needs to meet the aspirations that the sudanese people have been expressing for some for some months

university's center for policy research and from london we have paul malley a consulting fellow at the africa program at chatham house welcome to all of you thank you very much for being on the program i'd like to start with you adam day and ask you to put it in context with us why is for us why is missed my known as the us most dangerous mission thanks so much i mean for very basic reasons it has the highest number of casualties one hundred ninety five casualties since its deployment and it is facing asymmetric threats that don't exist really anywhere else in the u.n. system although there are other challenging environments and so it really is that immediate the immediate threat but it also has to do with the scope of the mission the mission is deployed over a huge area often without the resources to necessarily cover that area with the mandate it's given and as you see the conflict spread from the north down to the center and across the region it's being asked to do more with the same amount of resources that it had before so i think it's that combination of immediate threat with one hundred. last

bringing the thoughts of the street to us let's continue this now with a man a researcher of the africa program of chatham house joins us via skype from london . it seems in the people we're speaking to it seems with the pictures we're seeing that people are not buying the play by omar. what options does that leave the military with at this point. well the mentors do has plenty of options and i think they have an important role as being the custodian of security and stability in the country but the role should extend to finding a way to as soon as possible transfer power to a civilian lead that ministration i think you're hearing plenty of voices and that is the sudanese people and they do not want to stop short of that bishan after thirty years of rule by a president arm of bashir and that is what people are calling for and that therefore needs to be a mechanism that will come through the discussions that military transitional council has weighed the broad range of opposition political actors in the country to try and shape a way forward clearly if the demands of the people. and not satisfied

diplomat and an advisor in the africa program at the united states institute of peace he says the demonstrators want accountability from the old regime. it's certainly heartening that the demonstrators have have constituted a negotiating team that has met with the military council and certainly that's an important step but i think we have to be very very cautious in terms of thinking that there's any narrowing of the vast differences between the path for the military council has charted and what the aspirations of the demonstrators and the vast majority seemingly of the people of sudan or the seeming firing of the of the intelligence chiefs today. exceedingly powerful figure and i think one of the questions that remains is whether he may be down but is he out and i think we've seen very clearly from the demonstrators and others a desire for accountability for the very figures such as solid goes who they believe have been responsible for human rights violations and other or other atrocities over some decades now algeria is judges have announced they will boycott the supervision of presidents the

near the army headquarters in khartoum let's bring in someone once again a researcher at the africa program at chatham house joins us now via skype from london. astroid altogether then what do you make of what you've heard in the last hour or so. well i think you know very significant developments a lot more information provided by admitting. the i think the key points that he made was that the government is that to secure stability to ensure security and to provide aid the right atmosphere for political actors to take the process forward i think that the army the military has been appealing to the sympathies of the protesters and people to side with the army but clearly there is a disconnect between the words that have been said. by omar being an admiral and and also the actions and the framing of those and because the he's saying the military's not intertwined with the political leadership of the previous political leadership and i think that most people think that that is not the case that the leadership represented by an attorney general i have been known and by the other military comma

epa and usaid joined forces to develop the drinking water laboratory capacity building program in west africa. this program helps provide clean drinking water in urban areas by building the capacity of labs for sampling, analysis and quality assurance. epa provides technical assistance and know-how while usaid provides funding and on the ground presence. the project launched in ghana sparked a new focus of water quality across the country including development of quality insurance manual which will improve water quality for 500,000 consumers. this is being used as a model for other labs in the region and labs in ghana have used this to mentor labs in nigeria. we are excited about the progress of this program and believe it holds potential for other areas around the world. here in the us we are blessed with an abundance of waterways across the landscape. however in parts of american west we still face water shortages. this is typical in many climates around the world and as populations and industries expand, this is reaching more communities. droughts pose a serious threat. we are working to g
