the protest is at bay without going too far. well put it this way so far, i think as, as we have seen over the last few days, there is a certain restraint on all sides. you asked me about the military. are the security forces. there is because like you saw even in those pictures earlier, those foot patrols, they are carrying not just tear gas canisters, they are carrying automatic weapons or pointed down as is the standard practice up and so far we haven't seen, you know, massive shootings or them being being directed at the protesters, however, having said that, when the president's house was overrun on the 9th, there were shots fired there. ah, by footage that has gone around showing at least 2 people hit by bullets. there's one man with a head wound. so it is not thankfully, so far from what we have seen a wide spread pack practice. there is a more sort of buttons dead there relying on the tear gas. 5 and basically either a human chain to fight the sort of force of the protesters we haven't seen live ammunition being deployed

military protest, but protest as he has said, they will continue to voice their anger and continued to demand the military hand over power to civilian government until that happens. decades all tensions between c, dawn and ethiopia on the rise again linked to a disputed border area of alpha chava sit on says it's fide heavy artillery and retaken territory that up until recently was held by the european army. katya lopez heard a yan has more. a 0 village may seem calm, but it's at the center of a heated dispute between sudan and he, theo, bia, for more than a century, both countries have fought for its surrounding border area. alpha chava. a rich and fertile region of about 250 square kilometers al jazeera has gained rare access to the village were the latest rise and violence has emerged. sudan says 7 of its soldiers, and one civilian were recently kidnapped by ethiopian forces. their bodies left mutilated. though on, on, on the north, through the shade, one of the villages was a family member of it's not uncommon for a few of your neighbors don't get back or kill us for ransom, and

but at the moment the protests are completely peaceful. and what they say, this is a silent protest. okay, but the camp is now broken up. does that mean and with all the police that we see in the background there? does it mean that the government is back in full control? will the government would like to think it's in full control and it is in terms of the forces which are out here. but he also asked me about the reactions at one by what has been the reaction. there's been a huge amount of reaction to this midnight crack down on this protest scam. you have the lead of the oppositions describing it as a, as a blue, a useless show of brute force. you will have the lawyers association saying this track down on peace were protest is, was despicable. you have various ambassadors who have treated their reaction, expressing concerns including the you know, the government has taken control of the last bastion, which the protest i protested, had occupied the entrance of the presidential secretariat. so in that sense they have complete control and w

you need to get these protest and, and that will require a new government. and it does appear that the president will be stepping down and if he doesn't do that, that will be a major issue, major achievement. just because that has been the core a grievance. the court demand of the protesters since day one that go to buy and must go. so that will help, but indeed there needs to be an interim government put in place. and it only to happen quickly because what the 3 law government really needs to do, what this re locked in government needs, is a alone from ins and the i m. f will only be willing to negotiate once there's an actual government in place. and one, if there's more political stability in place, when indeed you mentioned, i'm asked that, i mean, it does seem to be a bit of a power play. doesn't that between not just, you know, i'm after india and china to when it comes to who's going to rescue sherlock. what are your thoughts on that? right. it's interesting that like a number of country in south asia that are sort of in the middle of the strategic ki

this will be _ protest permanently? definitely. this will be a _ protest permanently? definitely.his will be a key _ protest permanently? definitely. this will be a key factor - protest permanently? definitely. this will be a key factor to - this will be a key factor to de—escalate the political tension. for three months the protesters were asking for the right resignation it's a huge victory for the protesters, a nonviolent revolution. we have seen a fair amount of protests and some violence on the streets and just looking back at the events of the last few days, there hasn't been a sort of definitive leader in this protest movement. going forward, how do you see the political situation playing out? according to the constitution the acting president should be appointed. and now the prime minister, the one who is there acting, he's planning to be the acting, he's planning to be the acting president. but the constitutionality and is in question because had only one seat in parliament and he was not appointed by the people and he was appointed by the people and he was appointed by g

the sheep, the prosecution say a quite clearly alluding to the protest is in the protests in 2019 the wolves quite clearly alluding to the police. now in today's hong kong that meets the definition of sedition. this is a law by the way, it is decades old. it's a law that was brought in by the british legacy of colonial rule. but here it is being reactivated in today's hong kong. in fact, one and 5 of those people who've been arrested since the protest in 2019 have been charged under this sedition law. now, the judge presiding over this trial is a national security law, designated judge, which is a measure of just how seriously the justice department takes this case. now the government says the prosecution says that these 5 who are all under the age of 30, by the way, published a book that they knew which stood up hatred among children. it was one of 3 books that were published and they came out in 2001, 2002. but of course the new national security law had been imposed here. the union that they form the speech therapist union was set up in 2021. when the protest was starting to, to, t
