and that they will be arresting people from the regime including as you've mentioned president ahmed bashir the head of the regime so it seems like they're trying to make sure that people who have been in this government up until ten minutes ago are not going to be able to leave the country but this is an announcement that people have been waiting for as a matter of fact right now we can hear outside people who have been marching to the army headquarters which is just less than two kilometers away we can hear them chanting they seem to be very excited about the news and they seem to be in a celebratory mood that has been the state's since the five o'clock local time or three o'clock g.m.t. when the army said that they had an announcement to make people have been banging their hopes on the army saying that the army has organized the coup and as at the moment it looks like that is exactly what has happened and after four months of protests the president bashir is no longer president of sudan what will happen to oman. bashir known as the the defense minister said that the vice president he has

sudan's ousted ruling party have been released from prison they were arrested after the fall of ahmed bashir is government news of the release is likely to add to the anger of protesters rallying outside army headquarters in hard to one hundred other reports from the capital. under the scorching sun. outside the sudanese army headquarters in khartoum for friday prayers. the someone is heavily laden with political messages condemning the of the polls to former president bush messages to the demonstrations continue until the protesters achieve their goal time to civilian rule in sudan. as soon as the prayer. the now familiar chance feel the good it will come out then we need a civilian government to set up a foundation for a modern sudan followed by elections that have integrity and represent the will of the people. and there's not a seven hundred of the former regime divided the people through segregation and racism and today we are united as one nation without tribe creed or color we are ready to develop a progressive sudan the protesters wacom outside the military portals even before bashir

it when our fee is not only very close and loyal to the regime of ahmed bashir the sort of links that people are perceived to have at least with other regional powers and what they might represent . has been very close to bashir and he was a key player in the coup of one nine hundred eighty nine when the national salvation came took over and which paved the way for. it to leave the country since he was elected in one thousand nine hundred six so his member of the inner circle that was part of the coup and his widely seen as very close to. our model. is it and is it the moment when he said enough is enough and it's about time to put an end to the instability on the streets and he decided along with other key military and security officials to step to step in that could be that could be a possibility you have also. in intelligence and there are reports of different affiliations within those different military and security apparatuses in so that you can see signs of. a crack within the alliance that has been protecting our model bashir for quite some time and if it is the military establ

within fifteen days the protesters are calling for the former ruling party of the pows leader ahmed bashir to be disbanded and its assets seized there also demanding the removal of the head of the judiciary his deputies and the attorney general. about what sort of. the objectives of the revolution cannot be achieved completely in the face of the backstage manipulations of the remnants of the regime or key demand that the formation of a civil council to guarantee the revolution is safeguarded and its goals achieved by technocratic provisional government with executive powers must be formed with the consensus of the people live from hama val joining us from khartoum have we heard a response from the military council to the demands put forward by the opposition. not. right now the the expectation is that there will be some kind of reaction or some kind of commentary or a next round of talks between the military council and the leaders of the protests we have listened to they are them talking today that press conference they enumerated a long list of demands very powerful demands there the com

with the minister of defense saying staunchly that he sides with ahmed bashir the junior commanders were all this risk for tatting the protesters then you have the issue of the militias loyal to a man of bashir groomed by a model bashir protected by obama bashir for almost thirty years and these people will definitely be very concerned about the aftermath of what happened and this i think explains why the army is now deploying troops on the streets. shutting down the airport ensuring that no one fled the country and flees the country and to and they would like also to get reassurances that everything is under control before they make their announcement but it could be also said to be that they are trying to reach out to the protesters and to the opposition and tell them this is an extraordinary moment in modern history of sudan please give us your support we are determined to stay here just for a transition to democracy. and then would hand over power to civilian authority will the opposition and the protesters go for that that's also one of the key questions about the situation that is.

to the number of people or a number of professions who have been protesting against president ahmed bashir and later against the military council rule there saying that they want an independent judiciary system now the military council has promised that it will make reforms to the judicial system it's already changed the state attorney and several other members and top judges who are part of the former government and former regime and it says that it's going to take a few weeks or a few years to be able to make reforms because people are also demanding that the judicial system how some kind of accountability or basically hold trials for the people who are part of the former regime and the former government so people are saying that if there's no reforms in the judicial system they're not going to be having any faith in the judicial system if trials are to be held for they are members of the former regime and they were not the only ones who were in the protests yesterday there were people who came from various other states people who have been there as well for more than three weeks and the

groups are calling for people to rally after friday prayers the military has removed president ahmed bashir from power it's also imposed a curfew thousands of people defied it overnight on thursday at least twenty people have been killed in a bomb attack in southwestern pakistan it happened at a market in the city of quiet or police say most of the victims were shia muslims. wiki leaks founder julian assange has been convicted in the u.k. for breaching bail now facing extradition to the u.s. washington wants him to face charges relating to the publication of classified government documents he was arrested at the ecuadorian embassy on thursday. we're getting reports gunmen have kidnapped two cuban doctors in northeastern kenya local media say the assailants shot a police officer there dead or before driving off with the pair the city is close to kenya's border with somalia and ethiopia at least five civilians have been killed by rocket fire in shelling west of libya's capital tripoli fighting between forces lord towards a half star and those of the u.n. by governments been going on for more

explanation could be as this just wasn't worth it for the military anymore to support a figure like ahmed of bashir not you mention that the military has declared a curfew for one month at the same time getting thousands of people on the streets protesting and celebrating now you've lied about what might happen next a lot of the people that i've spoken to have said you know they are determined to stay on the streets. until their their their demands are met and until a civilian transitional government is put in place or at least the promise of such is issued the curfew officially starts at ten pm so there's still about five hours until until it officially comes comes into force the military or the state in general is not shy about using force so it remains to be seen what actually happens . when the curfew comes into force and how the protesters react to that and we hope that no one gets gets in danger because of that and hope for for a peaceful solution to this i have been him from d.w. thank you very much for monitoring those developments on that breaking news coming out of sudan. turning now to o

of change he went on to characterize the military's intervention which ended with the president ahmed bashir being relieved of his juices by saying we responded to the demands of the people. and i ask the sudanese people to support the military. he went on to defend the military's role saying the accusations that the military and some of its top brass were the children of the ruling national congress party were false accusations he particularly defended the minister of defense saying he had put his career on the line to steer the change that the people wanted here dress political parties and leaders saying i urge political leaders to see this golden opportunity. he said if the sudanese people are able to come up with practical solutions soon or we will step aside before two years he went on to explain that the transitional period of two years outlined yesterday by the military was a maximum term that could be shortened if the political leaders come up with the unanimous solution and decision on how to form the next government. he said the next government would be completely civilian and that

emergency protests were banned and police were given enhanced powers to crackdown on dissent president ahmed bashir has stepped down as head of the ruling party where protesters are demanding he go further and quit as sudan's leader he's ruled the country for nearly three decades plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including why cholera is once again putting many at risk. as a weapon of war in rwanda has affected generations on thousands of lives. in sports lots on continues his m.l.s. scoring streak details coming up a little later with peter. but first the venezuelans are gathering for rival rallies in the capital after president nicolas maduro and the opposition leader. their supporters to take to the streets they remain locked in a bitter standoff but maduro is resisting pressure to step down or latin america editor is joining us live from caracas covering the. protests how big are they expected to be. i'm sorry i just somebody went by and i didn't hear your question you were saying tell us tell us. that is it the cia guy. yes. it's getting very yes yes yes very well look this busines

and stand with the people who were on the streets for months and say that they want president ahmed bashir to step away they knew that if they want this revolution to win it's a succeed then they had to have the military on their side now this morning at five o'clock local time which is around three g.m.t. the military went to the most of the national most of the most of the stations radio stations and television stations cut all programs and said that they have an announcement to make and it will be coming shortly that was five or five hours ago that announcement is the yet to be made people are still waiting there are still consultations the top army commanders the top national security commanders and top police officials all are in a meeting in consultations and from what we understand they are trying to decide on a figure that will be basically agreed upon not just by the security forces whether it's the police military and national security but by the people on the streets as well the sudanese professional association which have been leading the protests since it began have been sayin

couple of months and most recently over the critical past couple of weeks with the downfall of ahmed bashirbecause you recently wrote that democrats and republicans should adopt a resolution articulating the pair on matters of a transition do you see that happening at all. unfortunately not yet so the situation is fast and fluid and and folks in washington are trying to keep abreast of the developments in these really critical hours and days i do think both the administration and members of congress could step forward right now and articulate that they're ready to support a transition both by lifting remaining punitive measures such as the state sponsor of terrorism does it nation but also by putting some incentives on the table a readiness to support debt relief a readiness to restore diplomatic relations in due course should the right steps be taken the secretary of state could make a visit to khartoum washing could washington could indicate that it's ready to designate a new ambassador to sudan which it hasn't had since one thousand nine hundred seventy so what happens in sudan in the co

president i want to assure the only figure that they've been seeing leading the country was president ahmed bashirhis regime has ruling party where they wanted when they started protesting four months ago was a change from that they wanted to see new faces because they were saying that the inflation which was the one of the second one of the one of the highest inflation rates in the world they were playing they were blaming that on his government and the way he was running the country if there was any specific point to be picked when when sudan started going downhill economically and politically it would probably be around south sudan's independence in july two thousand and eleven when they went with seventy five when the seceded with seventy five percent of the oil fields which were that which was the main source of income for sudan since then prices started going higher and according to the world bank more than half of the country's population live below the poverty line so have of them below the poverty line toppled with coupled with inflation made life unbearable and people started protesting

revolution is achieved and a military coup doesn't just lead to another period of rule like that and ahmed bashir. in. the military council most tend of the powerchair transitional civil in government which protected by me will fulfill all the objectives of derivative so far we have only the head of the tree we still need to remove the roots a message that's being eco that on sudan as ordinary people now take center stage the blood that's been shed for this moment is on the walls as are the young women to. with courage and leadership this is where some of the deadliest losses took place in the morning of course when thousands of protesters walk up to the crossfire members as they go to those classes day displays a special civility clampett actually came from the students and the audience what if it's not if i send you to hospital since his uprising it's like a fire ball that's building up to the sense of the old regime. the uniforms of those the snipers who were caught hank here as a mark of shame to those who fought change but many say the deep state is still intact and only the facade of the fo

recap headlines people in sudan have staged the biggest rally since the overthrow of president ahmed bashir last week hundreds of thousands of demonstrators massed in the capital khartoum demanding an end to his military rule. president has accepted the resignation of the prime minister and the entire government it comes off to weeks of mass protests over the killing of one hundred sixty four herdsman the government has been accused of not doing enough to stop the wants. u.s. president donald trump is declaring total victory after the release of a sense of version of problem on those reports into russian collusion but house democrats say they want to see the full an edited version. of bruce fein is a former united states associate deputy attorney general he thinks the report is more likely to affect trump's reelection campaign next year than have any legal ramifications. as a pure legal matter for lawyers no it doesn't get him off the hook it's true that the house judiciary committee could say well even if mr muller could make up his mind we will and based upon our examination and inference

general opted for the one hand from his two predecessors at this point both from the president ahmed in bashir and former leader of the military council. the fact that he does not have a political affiliation he was the inspector general of the military yes and he so he does have a military background but he has no political affiliations and more importantly to the people who are on the streets celebrating he doesn't have the same tainted past as a matter of fact this is very remote so that's known about him and his history of his military service so people are saying that they are willing to give him a chance but we're going to have to wait and see. from the other political parties if he's open to dialogue we're going to have to wait and hear from the sudanese professional association which has been spearheading the calls for protests and the sit in in front of the army headquarters more most importantly we're going to have to hear from the youth themselves once this euphoria dives of this happening is that it dies down when the celebration ends are they going to be willing to accept a milita

being scaled back the council will rule for up to two years after the military forced president ahmed al bashir to resign but morgan has the latest phone call to. the power of protest the curates the second victory in as many days on thursday these demonstrators were celebrating the removal of president obama in this year by friday his replacement the general who had orchestrated the end of the shoes thirty year rule had also gone. this is for the benefit of the nation without having to look at special interests big or small that might preclude its progress we honored to say that this country has great people and a great many i would like to recommend you work together and hope that you would reach a solution very speedily i would also hope that this decision is not misinterpreted i wish my brother success in what is beneficial to our country long lives today and a peaceful and honorable country. ahmed it is seen by many as part of the old regime and could not represent them in the military council he had it appears to have lessened. the was i think there's no weak tree like the one we've seen

immediate formation of a civilian government and they want the former ruling party of deposed leader ahmed and bashir disbanded and its assets redistributed they're also demanding the removal of the head of the judiciary his deputies the attorney general in the winter but it was sort of going to be objective that the revolution cannot be achieved completely in the face of the backstage manipulations of the remnants of the regime or key demand of a civil council to guarantee the revolution is safeguarded and its goals achieved with a technocratic provisional government with executive powers must be formed with a consensus of the people. the streets of khartoum hundreds of people are still outside the army headquarters protesters fear security forces might be planning to break up their sit in the military council has asked political parties to agree on an independent figure to be interim prime minister but differences remain between the protest organizers and political parties let's speak to them he's a research associate at the school of oriental and african studies he is joining us here in the studio

what about the significance off of the military council saying that it would never extradite ahmed al bashir the former president now even though we know that the international criminal court has had a long standing arrest warrants of arrests for him. yeah i don't i don't see why. the military should try to protect the president from whatever legal measures they the the i.c.c. . they have because the local judiciary have not been able. to understate the justice for the for the for the victims so if the government whether simply an order military can have a fair trial for those affected including the president. at home that would be better. and i think. the i.c.c. is do stiction all this on much or something munter in that in case there is no legal justice there is no local justice. the issue of transitional justice i think is one of the issues that should be debated and reached as part of the of the of the of the transition process so i don't think the i.c.c. or anybody else to try to jump. the military into. into action at the moment and i think the military also should in be protective of

faced mass protests this pave the way for a national elections and a civilian government now ahmed and bashir pushed out during another military coup in one nine hundred eighty nine ever since then he's won elections his critics say were neither free nor fair of the protests against bashir which began last december have become the strongest challenge to his long. plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including israel's prime minister is accused of using racist rhetoric to divide voters ahead of tuesday's election and we have an update from mozambique on those trying to rebuild their lives after the devastation of cycling he died in sport find out why two venters could win the italian league later without even playing a game. so nearly two million people in mozambique need food aid to survive as they try to rebuild their lives after you die the storm washed away hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland leaving people without anything to harvest from is a miller has more from china macondo. the heat is sweltering but these people in china macondo in central mozambique will queue fo

forty live to muhammad valley joining us from khartoum any official word on the whereabouts off ahmed and bashir not to and that's something that has been very criticised very much criticised by the opposition here and by the protesters they think they they said they thought that the new regime would be different the military council would behave differently from the previous practices of the of former president omar bashir and they will be transparent and honest telling people what's going on particularly that this is a matter of high interest to the people of sudan protesters have been demanding the address and the jail and the title of amal bashir and now they don't really know where he is we have actually highly placed sources in the hierarchy of the government telling us that he's in jail has been transferred to the jail today but there is no official statement from the top ranks from the top leadership of the military council about that and that's because the size that people are gathering in the thousands every day and particularly tonight there is that we have seen more numbers there in

to mohammad values joining us from khartoum to first tell us what more you're hearing about ahmed and bashir. and we have those reports from inside our sources started as you are confirming that former president omar bashir has been transferred to that jail the cold the most famous jail in sudan it is in the north of khartoum and we also have indications there like a maximum security being raised around prison. t.v. cameras in front of the gates of the prison that's an unusual situation. that we have been gauging reactions from the protesters and from other sudanese. bodies political bodies and they simply are very critical of the way this situation is being handled protesters have been asking for a month to shoot to be put in jail and to be tried as soon as possible but today they tell us the government this government the military council is very very secure about what's going on of security they're being very much highly criticized by the protesters and by the political. you see and so then why you not why not transparency why is the ruling council not telling the people of sudan what's g

army headquarters demanding change that's how they were able to get their army to oust president ahmed bashir from power on the eleventh so they're saying that removing those who are blocks would make it easier for the security forces and the military and the police to come and disperse the states in the military council is saying that they have no intention of forcing the protesters they're going to let them stay there until they are convinced with any change that they see tangible on the ground but that's the issue there is no change for those protesters at the moment they're saying that the military council is not eager to hand over power so while there is a bit of a hard time on from the coalition and from protesters and a bit of a softer tone from the military council to show that they still want to negotiate they still want to end this standoff at the moment the situation on the ground seems to be that the that the sit in will continue until a council is formed when morgan thank you very much indeed still to come our ancestral land in utah threatened by u.s. government proposals to open

but we did see a high turnout the day after on itself when president bashir was ours those and replace by his defense minister ahmed out of know of more people turned up in anger saying that they don't want somebody from the same regime from the same ruling party to be governing them for the transitional period obviously we know that it did not last for more than twenty four hours before he was replaced by abdul fatah . friday evening but the fact remains nineteen is that people are saying that their whole point of continuing the sit in is that they want a civilian led or civilian majority a transitional government they want the people who were responsible for targeting dissidents for trying to clamp down on protesters over the past four months held accountable their asses liquidated and more importantly they want to know what happened to president bashir and those who are with him during his thirty years in power. thank you for that him organise our correspondent live in the sudanese capital khartoum where the foreign ministry in sudan has called on the international community to support this new military leadersh
