With those where it stands military came to an end and a transitional suffering council took its place the council has 5 members from the coalition known as the forces of freedom and change and 5 from the military an 11th member agreed upon by both sides makes up the body that will lead sudans 3 year transitional period a Prime Minister who was named by the f.

All the sudanese economists i know whose work ive read indicate that they believe the Security Forces and military forces account for some 70 percent of the National Budget thats unsustainable thats never ever going to be a way for sudan to go forward.

Health care including 1000000 women who depend on the un for Reproductive Health clean water programs for 5000000 people will shut at the end of october tens of thousands of displaced families may themselves may find themselves homeless and what we keep on hearing is although most donors have stumped up the money that they promised in february for yemeni humanitarian efforts its saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates whove only paid a modest amount of the 750000000. 00 that they each pledged for yemen humanitarian efforts meanwhile the World Food Program has resumed distributing food in the capital sun off to redeal with hooty fighters the agreement follows a partial suspension of aid for 2 months after reports emerged that the rebels were diverting food away from thousands in need the hope is denied the accusations saying the food sent to them was stale was President Donald Trump has defended his decision to cancel his trip to denmark he called the danish Prime Minister nasty after mete Frederick Christen rebuffed his idea of buying greenland greenland is a semi autonomous territory with a population of just 58000. 00 people 80 percent if it is covered by an ice sheet our White House CorrespondentKimberly Halkett has more.

Like north korea there is a u. S. Strategic interest in greenland the airbase there is part of the u. S. Ballistic missile Early Warning system and is used by the u. S. Air force space command. Also not the 1st u. S. President to try and buy greenland the last time was in 104600 president harry truman and before that in 1967 right after the u. S.
