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 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 hock to. well i think as of yesterday it's it's the those that we know it's gender age it's those that we know as the militias who were so far basically directly linked to bashir. who was in control of the streets until yesterday was definitely the civilian protesters and as you said it was always as it was a very peaceful protest for the last 66 months well talk about the protesters back on the streets so what does this say what would you make of those whether back on the streets of course they want the transfer the transition not to be ending they want their revolution they want this to continue they want to have a civilian that government they want to change the system they want more than just bashir out and the system remaini

state department diplomat there who knows president trump may tomorrow call up the t.m.c. and declare them his friends as they didn't libya so that that could already have happened in fact and we don't even know so it makes it much more difficult to do diplomacy given what's happened right there in khartoum and what's happening in capitals around the world but jeff when you talk about that heavy pressure that kind of dovetails if you will with all the other talk of regional and international guarantors what might those guarantees be and crucially who would be who would be prepared to offer those guarantees. we are living in a day and age when there's more difficult than ever to make any statements of any sort of the liberty or probability an answer to such a good question is that we have everything completely scrambled in the international sphere as of now at this point in mid 2019 we have problems everywhere intersecting crises that really are not likely to lead to how this a traditionally dealt with when you have the un jump in there with pressure from a security council

but with conditions that effectively removed the t.m.c. from power in sudan it's a very confusing situation a very divisive situation not only benefits t.m.c. 8 venezuelan president nicolas maduro has reopened the border with colombia at the crossing near kuku toth thousands of people began the day in long queues many intend to buy food and medicine because of shortages and high costs in venezuela the border was closed for nearly 4 months we do know said his political opponents wanted to bring aid to strengthen support for the opposition opposition leader one why does been rallying supporters in a shuttle are made just outside of caracas he says the country is still facing a humanitarian crisis and is promising to keep up the pressure on the do it out to step down meanwhile a rival rally by supporters of maduna is taking place in caracas to get more on all it's now are from out of san diego m.p.'s who is in bogota colombia for us so a sondre 1st of all what's what more has been happening at that colombia venezuela border. by the time since

again is the movement of the t.m.c. the military is basically prevented people from converging on the center of khartoum and people instead of staying in their own neighborhoods and carrying out their protests locally exactly right so gunfire and violence i mean these are the important things as to the ever well being of of the protesters what shall i understanding as to how many people how many casualties whether the that violence is still ongoing. actually no confirmation from inside the square about the number of personalities. because even the medical sources which we have to inside the square. actually the. they cannot determine they cannot cannot. count on the number but what they did say that they control. people injured and. they cannot account even the number of the number so that is. serious cases. being referred to the hospitals around because of suspicion in the clinics. and some of the clinics even in the field clinics and been by the force. and what you say is that the people of sudan and the protest is in

diplomat for africa met the head of the t.m.c. the transitional military council that happened on thursday t.-bo nagging has called on the military to withdraw from khartoum and to stop attacking civilians is also called for an independent investigation into the crackdown on the sit in near the army headquarters stacy is former u.s. state department official he says diplomacy becomes more difficult as more players become involved. for henley the general to actually blame the protesters is just an extraordinary thing and it makes it even harder for the leaders of the opposition to agree to terms and to come back to the table if they're being blamed directly after they suffered this massacre so we need not just investigations we need heavy heavy pressure from the u.n. security council from the secretary general a visit would be quite necessary in timely we need heavy heavy pressure put on the t.m.c. now because behind the scenes they've just gotten a giant payoff from their friends around the region over in the gulf and that is real

net connectivity the t.m.c. itself promised to bring the perpetrators of the massacre in 72 hours and now it has been like a whole month and they didn't do anything about it so there is this lack of seriousness doesn't allow for any healthy more or it doesn't pave the way for for a constructive mortie in which people can stop negotiations so i think the debate then falls on the shoulders of the transition the military council as of now i think this if unions don't have much to do. they're not giving them any teams he is not giving them any science of. that it's willing to reach some level of consensus no way i think one other thing i just wonder about briefly and maybe this you can tell us from from contacts you have there how is life going on in sudan it's very difficult it's very difficult if you can imagine is city. that is totally stagnant i mean economically speaking. i have an office there i have some friends and some consultants and some laborers they're telling me that it's totally stagnant people are ba

i think it shows you have the t.m.c. is not really serious about negotiating and insofar as there was momentum from the civilian side to reengage this and it. was already a difficult decision for the syrian opposition to agree to a resumption of talks in any event under any circumstances to do so actually divides the civilian opposition even as it makes clear that there was nothing gained from meeting with the t.m.c. and that prime minister of the ominous efforts really are for not coming for it and to what extent was was a bad negotiating on or talking to the wrong people on the military side of things it notably absent from those talks was the head of the rep a defense forces 2nd in command in sudan currently. it's not clear where he is. the lieutenant general who commands roberts or courses where he is what his plans are out well he is working with the other members of the g.m.c. and what his larger ambitions are for sudan or the region. he says next greenly opaque situation made moral pay by the fact that it's not ju

but with conditions that effectively removed the t.m.c. from power in sudan it's a very confusing situation a very divisive situation not only benefits the t.m.c. is the military council though unified in its approach here to what extent is there a split was bad possibly mediating with with the wrong person notably the deputy of the military council the guy who's in charge of the rapid defense forces he wasn't there perhaps he's the one that ethiopia's prime minister should have been talking to. they are certainly trying to make sense of the absence of lieutenant general how messy. and there have been reports of splits within the transitional military council others dispute that this is the case. that makes for an even more confusing situation and one that frankly or the civilians trying to negotiate with. the army. an almost impossible situation if they can't be sure of that rapid support forces are agreeing to anything that's negotiated then those agreements with the meaningless. does the military council head actually have control over

the forces of freedom and king who are very lenient who is the t.m.c. with the transition in military council and it's not it's not surprising that yesterday night i was. the ask me about has been omar the omar party pulling its tent from the mass sit in and to me that was a very clearly just that they have already received assurances from the team see that they are going to have a deadline and they are going to commit an assault otherwise why would the only party and that they need that. people for saw the comedy movie it's thin in an untimely manner i think it's a very timely action that they have decided to pull the tent out of the sit in so something there is being called something the it is being called aberrated with some political and civic leaders but definitely not the leaders who are very credible to the protesters. who have a moved off of they had some sort of inside information perhaps where does this leave the transitional military council in terms of how either firm becoming or how intransigent intransigent to change. an important question

well they're talking to the t.m.c. obviously and hopefully they're talking to general mehdi who was elevated from being basically ginger we leader thug to general himself to give him some alleged legitimacy but after they turn themselves into the rapid support forces one of the worst euphemisms in the world today they've done some despicable things we've got over 100 dead we've got a rest we've got death threats so let's hope that the ethiopians are having some success they need strong support from the un but they're blocked in the security council it really is completely in the balance sadly it appears that the fix is in and it's a very violent fix at that but some of the people literally sitting around the table are simply surely an extension of what went before so they got rid of al bashir so the figurine has gone in but the back story is still there. very true and fact the back story is even worse and deeper and spread around the region to other plutocrats and dictators in the region we've got others who are strong

where do you expect or who will the t.m.c. listen to they've had a delegation from saudi arabia here they themselves have been in saudi arabia recently of the organization of islamic conference the african union you might say gave them a bit of leeway to try and find a negotiated settlement it's all very fluid and as you suggested there are many stakeholders within and outside the borders of sudan who have an interest as to what goes on now. we had interest work with anybody who wants to start with the civil disobedience. and anybody who's trying to serve to support. him and the course of events people. we are ready to work with them to work with the international community because what is happening now we have to answer the call of our people who have cancer to answer the call of unshakable god of our people anybody who wants to work and we call them we call them on ask them to come and work with as you know what is happening now invited as part put us to work with anybody who wants to serve the people of sudan now what's hap

news that distracting from the main issue right now which is how 0 the student was cleared and the t.m.c. already admitted that it was their fault and that they organized it and the operation failed completely and hundreds died because of it and injured so you are right now as this year is side news we want to get to the main issue we want negotiations to reach the end and we want our internet back so we can have the freedom to actually protest on the street and have everyone around the world see it and mirrors so anything else besides. the negotiations and what happened in the syrian and the internet to be on the to do i feel like it to be traction and this isn't it people are not really. this is not news for us at the moment this is not our main concern and other rights groups and activists are demanding an international investigation into the killing of dozens of protesters in this month or a burden man he has more on that. people are demanding answers to what they're calling a massacre in khartoum that's off to sudan's ruling hunter admit it it made mistakes in breaking up the sit in

should have been negotiating on behalf behalf of the protesters or mediating at least between the t.m.c. the military transitional military council and the protesters i think the f.f.c. the forces of freedom. have filled their role big time and by so doing they are putting these protests that is in defense of the dean of the lion. of course there are many the military council attempted to bribe some of the leaders of the forces freedom and change through through their proxies in the region. and they have attempted to bring in some. to meet them since politically using some tribal leaders tribal leaders i mean these are the very. this is the very constituency that has been using for like 50 years and it is the very constituency that has. the. that was put at the disadvantaged. bye bye diddy game co-opting it's the that so the game i mean the military council is not is sticking to its all as a condition the minute it counts it is flame to play with it's the in it's trying to be good to meet it's politically it's trying to bribe him some leaders from the if of c. . there are already spoile

so what do you mean by the 2nd stage the fairness is they will they were putting an act i mean the t.m.c. the transition in military was putting an ak trying to dis deceive the protestors and the sudanese people into thinking that they are the guardians of the national sovereignty they are willing to. influence you know a transition to democracy they will help facilitate that transition but obviously speaking i mean after visits to some. parts i think. they have now lost the ability to put such an act i mean all of the probably they have received some assurances that they don't need to worry about you know they intend the dynamics of the nation it's very obvious that after having visited saudi arabia general. and his vice and me they came up with a different look at the they are now putting a different face previously they were very diplomatic in their appeal to the people i know they are very blunt. and it seems that. they are not very much worried about the intended dynamics because probably they have received tons of money they have received assurances that they will get some support

not necessarily directly asked to do that but the t.m.c. did have some good from go very regional allies this is very clear they've been treated as the defacto government when you deposit 500000000 dollar. mission all military council you are telling it you are the government and for them to be attending like urgent summits and going for doesn't see this is where you signaling to them that they are that this act of government so the d.m.c. is picking the lines and acting like the fact of government that's the way they're acting now i mean it's not as they've been told to do that but this is this is this is the characters this this military is this new military. that had been waging wars against the good east since its inception so this is not new to them it's not it's not news to them that was killed and the people who were there who've been there on the scene throughout the protests they consistently talk about the security force presence as being dominated by the rapid support forces that's not the the regular military is it that is a mil

side of the red sea but also have strategic interest in keeping the military council in place so the t.m.c. have a vested interest in making sure that it would have the upper hand in the in whatever composition of power would come out of this negotiation so that is the key sticking point but i think it is being told by the international community in nor ambiguous terms that it will not have the legitimacy and the credibility to lead so does with this period of transition right wallow kill university thank you very much. because boxer party has lost a byelection challenge to labor in the city of paper and a newly formed party was hoping to win its 1st parliamentary seat after a strong performance in european elections last month and the 2 $1016.00 e.u. referendum 60 percent of voters and peterborough fact leaving the plot. despite differing opinions across our city the fact that the bricks of party have been rejected here in pizza for a shows that the politics. shows that the politics of division will not quit. this is a result for every community in pizza praagh so night's victory is signi

salvage the political process itself because obviously the political process has come to a halt the t.m.c. showed no interest in sharing power they want absolute power so from this point on did just they would just try to co-opt some political figures who may help them do the day to day business they would try to find their prime minister who can just do the executive where but they they want to absolute power and they would want to use done as a proxy state. from which they can send soldiers to yemen since soldiers to. send soldiers to whatever kind libya for example and so for me the only hope is. association of professionals keeping up the pressure. the civic pressure which which will in a way entice the army to come into the equation because by dem selves they cannot do it what's the likelihood of that actually happening but the civil society movements can continue to put the pressure on them on the military when they have paramilitary forces like the rapid security force what we're really going to be dishing out some pretty harsh punishment certainly across the capital. across the wh

they were there for a long time they had several things on the table already mutually agreed with the t.m.c. these are the military hunta top leaders. and what they've decided based on this lobbying i'm afraid is that they are not going to give an inch and the less the international community against the odds could mount all this pressure and there's some sort of nationwide you know nonviolent protest probably we're going to go back to another dictatorship by another name we thought that they were considering and they were apparently that's why it took so long the protesters were so excited i mean they really thought they had the momentum it began to be reported along without geria as almost a 2nd arab spring in the making because the military junta considered it very seriously what seems to be the difference is that they were pushed by a very strong concerted movement from the crown prince of u.a.e. the crown prince of saudi arabia the military dictator who was a democrat and turned into an autocrat in egypt a few others that is proving to be the decisive cobol around the region when it co

i mean let's let's just go back a little bit because if we remember i mean the t.m.c. thought that the protesters in the city where is standing in their way to i mean claiming power and assuming full control of the public is feed so they went ahead killed those $114.00. protest that is of course that's sad and that is timid because there are people who are lost. we don't know about. about their whereabouts so anyhow after that of that they killed those $114.00 protesters they moved on and thought that they can use all sorts of techniques to i mean claim power and it's you for control of the public is feed it didn't wait that didn't detail of the sudanese people even made them i mean it even on the contrary made them more detailed i mean to put objectives albeit in a civic piece one mother says a lot about the strength of the movement doesn't it because if you go back a month and consider what happened then when over a 100 people were killed that could in many cases scare a lot of people off and they would think no i think i don't want. i risk my own life as you say per

in yemen so in their best interest actually having the t.m.c. and. on the top of the. so. they're really controversial figures here is that on. the fact your people if some of the people are more pragmatic when it comes to dealing with as they say that the this is the reality of the situation so whether we like it or not. whether we like it or not these are the people. these are the people who are actually in power right now. whether real like or not we have to be there we have to negotiate with them so there is no speed or solution to this problem unless we sit in the negotiation table with them and having some comprehensive comprehensive deal. agreements with them back to mary well thank you very much for sharing your views with us ashraf muhammad ali is a protester who was there in the sittin at the ami had courses in heart to him and has been that for many months just want get a border perspective then on the situation in sudan with simon adams he is the executive director of the global sense of the responsibility to protect he joins us via skype from new york and as w

the leader of the support forces he's also the deputy leader of the transitional military council or t.m.c. that's been in charge of sudan since president omar bashir was deposed in april and may tease actions in darfur lead to the international criminal court to issue an arrest warrant for share on a war crimes charges when i joined on the news are by al jazeera as mohamed a vile who has just recently returned from khartoum he was there covering the protests until of course there was prevented to do so by the military council a number of factors involved here we talked about the rapid support forces the military council what do these actors have in common and what relationship do they have with the military establishments in sudan. the. difference force was completely a militia acting in darfur until recently they were brought to call to. the former president to protect him against the against what he perceived to be a threat from the city it was true of course a lot of violent protests was not bloody violent as the people did not use arms against the military but thought of that as dange

news that distracting from the main issue right now which is how 0 the sit in was cleared and the t.m.c. already admitted that it was their fault and that they organized it and the operation failed completely and hundreds died because of it and injured so you are right now as this year is side news we want to get to the main issue we want negotiations to reach an end and we want our internet back so we can have the freedom to actually protest on the street and have everyone around the world see as and years so anything else besides. the negotiations and what happened in the sudan and the internet to be on the to do i feel like it's a distraction and this is a need people are not really this is not news for us at the moment this is not our main concern nor your main concern the distraction but still show any part of the process as far as you are concerned that needs to happen and it it is that we but we would like our civilian government to be able to force prosecute and bashir and they're everywhere. right and the chief prosecutor has said that he attended a meeting with military heads

now one of the i think key message that is sent by the decision yesterday is that if the t.m.c. does not transfer power the african union is we need not only to hold political legitimacy from the council to turn the cemetery council but also to impose targeted sanctions against individuals and various interests and i think that makes it very difficult for sudan as a country and for the generals to deal with other international actors to receive support with their financial or other technical forms of support already we have seen the european union for example issuing a statement saying that the statement stablished a framework within which the african union the european union and other international actors would act so that is a very clear statement i think for the for the military council it it did so again as there's a very strong. be by the transitionary council to forestall the decision of the council so that's a very significant could very thanks did. kill. liberia is bracing itself for widespread protests as president george will struggles to revive the country's economy w

forcing them and force is not only just from the street but also realizing who is supporting them t.m.cand the jumps out how did it come to this money how did have mickey understand what lobbying is so unless we dry up that source and buy that $1000000.00 speaking about saudi arabia the u.a.e. then it's going to be really hard for us to move then come to succumb or be able to . think this is changing now rather i was going to say that's the point isn't it the behind him and he and the military council are some big guns both regionally and further away in the gulf as you mentioned and they've got deep pockets. while the pocket is not going to continue where ever and there's a lot of efforts on diplomatic level internationally to make saddlery be any way realize that supporting the stunt is not in favor of their regional simplicity or the international stability so this is i think they're coming to this realization and as for the lot being that hop on the slate or a little old. member change this is not going to change anything this is still even with the might even with the lobby people

more heavily armed and supplied by the hard to regime what is their relationship right now to the t.m.c. and is there any way that these orders to storm the camp didn't come from up top. you know there's no way that such an operation massive what seemed a great deal of video a massive operation could have occurred without direct orders from the very senior members of the transitional military council and most specifically lieutenant general his nephew who took over as head of the rapids court forces when it was formed in 2013 out of largely elements of what was formerly known as the judge and we in which he had not been nearly as powerful as he has become become more powerful since he assumed the deputy position and then the transitional military council and his trips to the united arab emirates and saudi arabia are a clear sign that he got the green light from member to go ahead with this crackdown here's the thing in a statement the forces for freedom and change say that the military council bears full responsibility for these events and they call it a crime who will hold the military

are you seeing in egypt or else and i such it's come upon the money for your violence through the t.m.c. in the 1st place against you was a takeover of civilian power if it was a city on average humans do the corn institution the vice president should have stayed there all this should i be the civilian government a condition to use national unity where everyone weak and no bullshit now the army is doing. on this additional money that is now moving and flying the government which is not your strong acting ok where in the dying seconds of this debate adama guy if he was in one sentence do you think any media creation mitigation the tense can succeed or is it over for the protest is. i think the magician is useful at least it gives a window of opportunity for the parties to sort out politically the crisis other way that will lead to military violence with the consequences that would be bad for everybody i do believe also that the african union as an institution not under mr el-sisi the president the egypt who has a side in this conflict should as an institution under the peace and security
