are these protests are president omar al—bashir. ally president omar al—bashir. are these protests are really different this time, can they add will they dislodge omar al—bashir from power? —— can they and will they? yasir arman, welcome to hardtalk. thank you so much for having me today. how far would you describe is current protest in sudan as representing the biggest threat to the rule of omar al—bashir? representing the biggest threat to the rule of omar al-bashir? first of all, this is the biggest demonstration ever president —— sudan has witnessed. it is unique in terms, it is everywhere in sudan, in the rural areas and the urban areas. also there is heavy participation of women and news. and, again, also it has a taste new generations of views into the political life. you cannot describe it as a revolution. it is not such a widespread nationwide movement. it is largely led by professionals, associations of doctors, lawyers, journalists. at its heart it is an elite urban protest. actually, it did start in a rural area. and then

bashir ever say? and what he is doing, he is killing more sudanese... but would you support the icc freezing or lifting its case against omarready to leave power, so i am not going into hypothetical issues. and to give bashir a deal when he is not ready even to say, after 30 years, that he wants to leave power — but he wants to stay in power. 30 years injune, it will be. but look, there are elections due in sudan in april 2020. as things stand, in the constitution, omar al—bashir cannot stand again. there had been talk of the constitution being changed so that he could run again. but because of what has gone now, these protests, do you think there is no chance that the constitution will be changed, and that therefore omar al—bashir cannot stand again in april next year, and that will be the end of his rule? the political landscape in sudan has changed. bashir has no chance to stand. i am very sure the sudanese people will change this regime. and there are new social forces that have come into the political scene, and i think the story of bashir has ended. he is politically dead. politically dead. yes, he is politically dead

but omar al—bashir has spent 30 years making the army coup—proof.y to back you. the situation is complex. the army is not one group. the rank and file of the army, they are poor. they are below those in the street. it takes more people to go into the street, so as to put pressure on the army to move in. it's true that president bashir is trying hard for the army not to move. in the revolution of 1964... when we removed gaafar nimeiry in 1985, this is not new. i am sure that, with more pressure, the army will take the side of the people. what evidence have you got that the rank and file, the footsoldiers, as it were, do support the aspirations... more than 13 army officers, some of them are lieutenant colonels in the army. there is information that there is a wider discontent within the army itself. because the leaders in the army, the generals, like the chief of staff, kamal abdul—marouf al—mahi, have said at a recent gathering attended by the minister of defence and other army chiefs, "i affirm our military commitment to guarding our homeland, and
