one thing the military are demanding is control of the interior ministry, they want the transitional is a complex issue because 0mar al—bashir‘s regime created this deep security infrastructure, the national intelligence and security services, a host of parallel security organs and whether the military take it upon themselves to uproot that and give a role to civilians will be a critical issue. the important thing is that the civilian opposition remains united — it has its programme, the declaration of freedom and change, of course it has had three or four months since the uprising broke out to agree that but now that the military, the important thing is they don't play various factions of the opposition against each other. the civilian opposition need to remain united because if they don't, that could affect the protest movement on the streets. the demonstrators feel they have achieved a lot so once you have achieved a lot so once you have achieved a lot so once you have achieved a lot, you carry on demonstrating, don't you? i think they will carry on, we have heard a lot about the
