and the president of the transitional military council. confirmed that the council is open for negotiations and reaching a solution at any time and god willing this mediation will have a good result. despite the talks protests continue and cartoonists reports. that. knowing even this small act of defiance could death a small group of people gathered in khartoum on friday after prayers they continued their call for the transitional military council to transfer power to the people. i was in the city of. they were shouting entirely out stead of prayer and reflection at this mosque worshipers thought the a man was a mouthpiece for the military contacts and kicked him out. more than 100 people have been killed since june 3rd when the military began cracking down on protests i can pick up on this right now and someone can be sitting right next to the brother so if i have to be united it even more and we are determined now more than ever more than before to end it and to start a new chapter is. a paramilitary group called the rapid support forces

as vice chair of the military service i have the honor of leading the selective military service for the commission. when it comes to selective service and military service there is a commonalty understood by very few. we found many americans do not understand the requirement to register or purpose of the selective service system however the selective service system still exists and is active. most register when they apply for a driver's license or federal geniunely aid. approximately 75% of young men register as a bi-puckett of another state or federal system. registering is law. therefore, if a male fails to register, their penalties not receiving federal financial aid or not able to get a government job. earlier this week, the texas court decided all male registration is constitutional. and a court involving women in selective service issued an opinion denying the parts of the government's motion versus dismiss. in 1981, oskar are they said women were not qualified for combat roles and as we know this has changed. this does make the work the commission a more important and relevan

military build up or. military personnel in the area. from the players who are saying now i can see you know demonstrators. are chairs by the by the military troops you know in the areas and now now the moment i'm speaking to you i can hear live shooting you know like shooting people and now i mean the troops now i should think people in the streets aware those injured if any where they've been taken to the nearest hospital because we're also hearing that medical facilities are either being surrounded or stormed. yeah yeah yeah yeah lots of injured people have been taken to be against the wars and now are receiving treatment by the violent. doctors but the problem is those who have been injured in the areas. lots of problems because if you want to risk killing one you know you may receive you may receive bullets or or you would be arrested so i think the situation is so connected now and there is a lack of will or lack of seriousness from from the from the military consul part and i think the militia consul part. bye bye bye bye bye the

military policy. there was no on the record debate on the many negative consequences, both potential and realized, of that policy, including that it would expose america's daughters to being drafted for combat. nor was there a vote for which our representatives could be held accountable. drafting women includes the same damaging impacts as putting them in combat units. and while we always need men to fight for the nation, there is no military need to draft women. moreover, such a policy would harm our ability to fight and win in a crisis, and would reap more harm than necessary on those fighting for us. having equal rights as american citizens does not mean that everyone is required to do the same thing in military defense of the nation. that women who volunteer for military service can now be assigned to combat units doesn't make drafting them good policy. in 1971, the supreme court held that drafting men only was appropriate and constitutional, because, quote, congress was entitled in the exercise o

self is being victimized people are thinking no it's the military it's the military is in no where in no way shooting at people the military is being held hostage. and this is this is due to the color of this and the weak will of the senior officers especially those who are in the transition and military council if you look at the police this is a very unique institution in sudan is it it was never part of any shooting again is the civilians so the whole the whole. the whole scene is being run by this militia. and they are just trying to terrorize the people as much as terrorize the military indeed the people are willing to be terrorized if you've got the sudanese professionals association saying come out on to the streets and show what our numbers are all about show whether it's the militia all the military that we are a force to be reckoned with or we don't have guns but that's a very high tactic because if you have about 15000000 people if only 10 percent come out of the street they're going to overwhelm whichever numbers of militia are there in khartoum because there is to me that

in the wake of ukraine, we went no about two years with military-to-military dialogue with russia. in december of 2015, about two months after i came into the assignment, we reached out for the first time. and i think we've since met three or four times face to face and routinely had conversations. , it was in the beginning largely just a focus on managing the conflict in syria and establishing what has been a very effective deconfliction mechanism in syria. that was the initial nature of the dialogue. since then, we've had a conversation on virtually all of the issues that affect the security of our two countries. but as you have spoken about, the one thing we agreed to, and he has as a professional maintained confidence in this regard,,, the last thing we can afford to do is politicize our relationship. if we want to mitigate the risk of miscalculation and want to be in a position to be in an open dialogue to manage a crisis we , can agree to disagree on a whole number of issues, particularly policy issues, but we've got to make sure as military professionals that we don't politi

of the military council transitional military council he announced on friday that he will not do with the with the protesters any more he considers them disruptive elements and that he feels like those negotiating on the civilian side one to construct a government that he is not happy with so he already announced that he will need to move against that that's the strategy what's the strategy beyond that i don't know he might just feel that it's enough to be in power and he might not think that he needs the international community so clearly he was stressed in the truth there which is exactly what you wrote on twitter today to what end well i think he wants he wants to be in power. to what end i think he also wants to push the t.m.c. to for him to basically be in the lead. you know the army person he either reacts against him then we have a serious issue for 2 security forces against it or each other. the president follows him and then basically it's the military against the civilians so who who really is in control of the streets in hot. well i think as a yesterday it's it's the those
