the overthrow of omar al-bashir in order to achieve freedom, we demand the overthrow of omar al-bashir, with the history of three governments in this african country, the reason for the country's excesses is in difficult conditions, but to change the country's conditions and the cooperation of all parties , people's protests are needed, although it led to the overthrow of 12 military men, he took power with the support of united states, dissatisfaction with the military started from the very first days. abdul fattah al-barhan was not elected by the people, but we are against the military government . instead of trying to transition from the transitional period, the sudanese military council remained in power, normalizing relations with the zionists, and focusing on the issues of economic development with the zionist regime will improve the economic conditions of the country and will definitely solve the problems of the people. an agreement with trump's broker, of course, as mike pompeo says, not to improve the conditions of the sudanese people, based on this agreement, sudan must pay c

ah, omar al-bashir.ee a conflict between two characters , a conflict supported by each of them supported by its own interest group. this is the environment of chaos that we observed, uh, all these years, after the so-called strong hands left the political scene, that is, authoritarian leaders , dictatorial regimes and so on, who kept everything under control in sudan. this will continue for another year. and maybe, unfortunately, i am not a dozen, because not inter-clan, not inter-tribal, not inter-group issues have not yet been resolved, they are not being resolved, because no one listens to each other. sudan is an explosive side that will still seethe for a long time and irrevocably more than that, i i don't even see a real mediator. although one might think that if china intervenes, then maybe something will work out for him. why because in china, uh, china itself is probably the country most involved in the economy of the court today, and in south sudan the chinese are sitting on uh, oil fields, and

government after about three decades in power, ended the security committee of omar al-bashir's regime and declared it illegal and arrested him. it continued after the establishment of the interim government and the formation of the military council, and the so-called freedom and change group drafted the political framework agreement in december last year to decide to hand over power to civilians in a two-year transitional period. the political agreement was to integrate all military and paramilitary groups in sudanese army we adhere to our commitment to the complete withdrawal of the military institution from the political process . derakhshid was very close to omar al-bashir, with the rapid reaction forces approaching the implementation of the 4th political agreement and integration into the sudanese army , they are worried about removing themselves from the political and military scene of sudan. power and continuation of the discussion it is from the military in sudan, this time is different from the past and they were fighting together against the civilians and today they are fight

it all begins with the former president of sudan, 0mar al—bashir.the country for 26 years until 2019, when there were protests across the country, in khartoum, including against his rule. that eventually led to a military coup. civilians and military leaders came together to form the southern council. the idea was for this joint committee to eventually lead the country into a civilian—led government. it was led by these two men, the military leader general burhan, and the leader of the rapid support forces. the rapid support forces are a paramilitary group that grew in power under the leadership of the former president al—bashir. but these two were always at odds and that takes us to october 2021, when there were pro—democracy protests again, following several unsuccessful coups, which eventually led to the military taking power. they had the prime minister arrested, they took over the state tv and radio headquarters. they even restricted internet access. it's been years of the southern council allegedly trying to transition the country into civilia

reliant on the efforts of the online resistance committees that lead the 2019 revolution against al bashir and are still at work with albert han and how met the pushing their own narratives on social media and jocelyn to control the state run airwaves, the other thing the people of sudan need right now, reliable information the, the capital one has been on the stage for days now. fighting is a relative between a pair of military force and the countries army. 2 warring men in uniform once allies, now ad for hundreds, hundreds of thousands trying to tweets with the recurring power and internet outages. getting video interviews out of cartoon is not the activist we spoke to over what that describes. a capital city gone dark. i used to live with the epicenter the caution. it was one of the worst areas in the city and still there was a lot subgroups where everyone would post update that was our source of information . so once that incident happened, we lost that with no one knew what was happening. it was very frightening. just orienting because you're completely caught up. we were living in ac

the couple refused to arrest him despite the fact that the icc issued a warrant for the rest of al-bashir on suspicion of war crimes . we really hope that in the situation with putin it won't work, and a village in russia, as they say, was on fire, we 'll talk about it a little later, it almost burned to the ground, but now let's talk a little about the economy we need to talk, as usual, at eight o'clock in the morning, big money, please, thank you, colleagues, let's really talk about the economy. today, we will have as many as two experts from financial andriensky as guests with economic news on the espresso tv channel live. as always , we talk to you not only on your tvs, if you you can watch us also on other gadgets, for example, on a stream on youtube, if you do so , put it as a favorite comment on this stream, send a link to your relatives, you can run it on your social networks, so they will see us more people, ukraine received another one and a half billion euros of support from the european union , the president of the european commission, ursula derlein fund, announced that the m

was followed by a terrible massacre of demonstrators in the immediate aftermath of president omar al—bashirit has not seen the kind of all—out military conflict that it is now witnessing. what has happened in so many other parts of sudan and is now — has now come to the city. it is a real shock for the civilians of that city who didn't think that it would come to this but feared that, somehow, this rivalry between these two factions was going to result in some kind of military conflict. i doubt that anyone quite anticipated just how lawless and reckless that conflict would be as it erupted on the streets of khartoum but they knew something was brewing and they slightly wonder why the west — why the international community at large — didn't do more to prevent it. paul adams reporting. we do have another breaking news item coming into us now. reports are coming in that three army helicopter pilots are dead after two apaches crashed in central alaska while returning from a training mission. the us army's 11th airborne division tweeted: we are indeed waiting for more information from the us arm

there have also been reports of prison breaks, including an ally close to the ousted president, al—bashire of a lack of food, water and treatment. 0mar albashir himself, the military says, was transferred to a military hospital before the flare—up began, so he remains in custody. the united nations continues to say while 400 people have already died there could be more deaths due to disease and lack of treatment. earlier, i spoke to nureldin satti, a former sudanese ambassador to the us. 0fficials officials have raised concern because several government officials call —— accused of war crimes have been able to leave jail in khartoum? i am extremely worried, i'm extremely worried, because the statement that was made by mr ahmed haroun who is indicted by the icc, the former governor of north kordofan, in the case that they are going to engage in the ongoing war between the two factions, he said we are going to fight, in order to put an end to the rebellion, meaning the rsf. so we knew since the beginning that the islamists, those of the former regime, have been involved in this war since th

i think you have to start with this man, omar al—bashir, who ruled sudan for three decades until 2019the country, and all the time he was in power. he was overthrown by popular protests in 2019, people power. the people who removed omar al—bashir in the end whether generals, general burhan with the sudanese armed forces and general hemeti of the rapid support forces, a very powerful paramilitary group and they carried out a further coup in 2021 against the joint civilian military administration, so for more than a year now sudan has been ruled exclusively by the generals, general burhan, apparently in command, general hemeti of the paramilitary rapid support forces his deputy, and a rivalry between the two grew, tensions about how the rapid support forces could be integrated into the armed forces too. and so three days ago clashes between the two broke out. we have some pictures here from the capital khartoum. you can see the planes, that the international airport, smoke everywhere. that's the sort of daily reality for sudanese civilians right now, particularly in the capital but also

in 1397, the protests began until april of the following year with the fall of omar al-bashir's governmentafter about 310 years in power. coming the interim government and the formation of the military council continued . there is a soldier in the sudanese army. we adhere to our commitment to the complete withdrawal of the military institution from the political process . the most important military group that has formed an alliance with the military council is the so-called rapid reaction forces. the confrontation with the armed groups in darfur and the violent implementation since then , hemmati as the commanders of khosh darshin was very close to omar al-bashir, the rapid reaction forces with the approach of the implementation of the 30 framework agreement in the sudanese army from removing itself from the political and military scene of sudan. concerned because of hemti's concern about removing himself from the political and military structure of sudan, like prisoners of war, to the issue of the power struggle, the discussion is continued by the military in sudan . fight to keep one of

these are essentially the two most powerful, um armed groupings within the country, um omar al bashir ruled sudan for three decades. i mean, he was overthrown in 2019 in the sudanese revolution, but essentially near the end of his rule. he didn't really trust the army, so he allowed other security. forces and the biggest being this rapid support forces this paramilitary paramilitary to grow. quite large, partly so that no one could really challenge him for rule. um and basically what we've seen since he was overthrown. what? that this military rule by committee could never really get on the same page. they've been dangerous tensions. both want to be the top dog. um and there is a lot of concerns leading into this that if fighting did occur in clashes started would essentially be an unwinnable civil war because it's not really clear who is the strongest in the inside the country. what say you describe them as a double headed monster, and now the two heads are are fighting each other. i mean, the animus between the two is so high with insults flying back and forth. i mean, do you do you

since the sudanese civilian population rose up and bravely overthrew the long-term dictator, omar al-bashirave engaged with and supported civil society groups in sudan. i think we need to continue to do so. we have a significant sudanese american joint national population in sudan, and ads per community here in the united states. sudan has a large country, about the size of alaska, a country of 45 million people, with lots of potential, lots of agricultural and mineral wealth. and we need to do everything we can to help avert the tragedy of it descending into a civil war or a proxy war. nick: the u.s. is not the only actor incident. egypt packs the sudanese military. china has influence because of economic investment. as you have pointed out, is there not a problem of a lack of u.s. leverage in this moment? sen. coons: we have relatively limited leverage because, as i just referenced, for decades, this was a country on the state sponsor of terrorism list while omar al-bashir was the dictator of sudan. this was the country that harbored al qaeda, that osama bin laden was in, and that helped

after president omar al-bashir, who ruled the country for more than 30 years, was removed from power, then a state of emergency was declared in sudan this year in july, they wanted to hold general elections, but disagreements arose in the ruling circles, including regarding the timing of the inclusion of forces rapid response to the army. and who will eventually lead the armed forces of the professional military or civilian president of moscow and he calls on all parties to stop the violence and start negotiations emil mersaev to lead. in moscow, at the megasport palace the first basketball match in the vtb united league semi-final series took place between cska moscow and a locomotive from the kuban for the moscow army. this meeting was a special club celebrating a centennial anniversary. danil saw how the game went by the center for sports attraction in moscow saturday evening april 15 you can definitely read the basketball match between cska and kuban lokomotiv, the army team timed this match to coincide with the centenary of the club and gathered a full megasport stadium where 14,

simmering power struggle between army and the rsm first joined forces to oust former dictator omar al-bashirn 2019. former prime minister abdalla hamdag warned of straying from sedans the two path. >> we have said goodbye to dictatorship forever. we can have a reversal, we can have setbacks, but we will never be defeated. reporter: that are sf in the army, which other for starting the conflict, and they both said both will not back down. >> our correspondent is covering the region and asked him about the current situation there. reporter: just following the trajectory of things significantly getting worse. we're seeing that the conflict is spreading, as was mentioned just now, conflict spreading to the east and therefore as well which is the rss stronghold. they had many supported there years ago. that means that regions where civilians are significantly living in more precarious conditions than in the capital, khartoum, are more vulnerable now. there are reports of, for instance, balls falling on the army, wounding civilians and killing civilians there. on the other side, another report of

this is exactly the moment al bashir, roman albasher , the former dictator is here for us, when he surprisedecame a substitute for huge bloody crimes against his people in the south of sudan and stock in darfur - he understood sooner or later someone will probably start asking him that because of his concessions , sudan experienced such repression there some kind of bloodhound, so bashir was getting ready for this, what did he like about the iranian government? there is a regular army and there is a corps that guards the revolution . let’s say an obedient dog that will always serve its master, that is, the president, and suddenly in this country there will be an unwilling minister of defense who will not obey . oh, bashir's morals . then the albashki created a second army, which would invite everyone, and so on. he taught them this when he was the creator of the official degliu who went to the house now as a moneylender and started it later. let's say that the officer then the second to the general, but this general turned out to have big ambitions, not only from here to his master alboshir

the civilian government that replaced omar al bashir. so since 29 2021 october. sudan has ended has been under this military dictatorship. it is governed by what is called a sovereign council, the leader of the sovereign council general abdel fattah al burhan, is also the leader of the military and the de facto leader of sudan, but his deputy, the vice chair of the sovereign council, and his his rival is general mohammed hamdan, dygalo or hamiti. they are the two involved in this power struggle over who will ultimately control sudan. and that is why you see this back and forth this senseless violence that has so far killed more than 400 people , almost more than 3500 people wounded because the two of them cannot agree over this one's taking point over a return to civilian transition. they agree in the big picture that there should be a return to civilian rule in sudan, but they can't agree over who will ultimately be in charge of this to fighting forces. and that is why this place victor camera. appreciate that. larry madonna. thank you. joining me now is cnn mil

after president amar al-bashir, who ruled the country for more than 30 years, was removed from power,hen sudan introduced the state of emergency this year wanted to hold a general election in july, but disagreements arose in the ruling circles, including regarding the timing of the inclusion of the rapid reaction force in the army. and who will ultimately lead the armed forces of a professional military or civilian president moscow and he calls on all parties to stop violence and start negotiations emil mercedese who surprised putin so much and why our economy managed to surprise the whole world russian go details, which few people remember, well, where does it fit , because there were no events around the crimea or ukraine , but the sanctions were already full just to inflate the zhebra, we are the coolest here. now is the time to realize. what path have we all traveled together or do we want our skins to be hung there, you have such a choice , when the leaders of the most powerful countries on the planet declared the russian economy is torn apart, russia is a dog, a lieute about the

that was overwhelming, just seeing ahmed al bashir and his two kids walking off andjust seeing him.irst cousin and he's the first one of my family that has left khartoum in this. and you know what? relief what a relief to see him and his kids safe and sound and the kids look okay. did they say they were okay? they had a tough journey. and, you know, like on the way out of khartoum, because they had to go through the north, the north of the city. but yeah, they've been in port sudan, established. i spoke to him when he arrived in port sudan. so i knew he was in port sudan. just didn't know he was coming on this boat. lyse doucet, our chief international correspondent, has boarded a boat making the journey back to port sudan — she spoke to us a short while ago. some happy moments. those are the people who have finally made it to safety in what has been the that was the largest evacuation effort so far. and now you find us here on a saudi warship. we're at the king faisal naval base. in fact, we have just left it. we have literallyjust pulled up anchor. you can see they're bringing up
