So sudans deposed president omar bashir has been found guilty of corruption he was given a 2 year sentence to be served in a Reform Center the courtroom was in chaos when the verdict was read out any thoughts or in the case centered on suitcases found in his home filled with around 130000000 dollars 75 year old denied corruption and said much of the money was actually a gift from the Saudi Crown Prince bashir you remember was overthrown back in april following months of demonstrations which ended his 30 year rule ok morgan in khartoum with the latest for us hes found guilty great for the people who opposed him but only 2 years. That is not going to make people who have been protesting against his will here happy now people have been demanding accountability for not just corruption charges but for crimes against humanity and war crimes in the west or and the. Output of the fact that the former president obama. If you will be moved to a rehab and center and not prison is something that is not going sit down well with protesters and many in sudan as well theyve been saying that the former president has been getting special treatment which is the complete opposite of what judges and his defense with his defense team have been saying now just before he issued his verdict the judge mentioned. That is a young man who was sentenced to death for the same charge of illegal possession of foreign currency in 1989 by former president ahmed it was sheer the judge seemed to be trying to make a statement saying that during his rule the former president sentenced people very harshly for minor crimes while now during the new transitional period hes being sentenced fairly 2 years in prison but that is something many on the streets are saying is not enough and that he should be tried for many of the crimes besides the crimes in darfur on the other hand his supporters have taken to the streets in the thousands theyre saying that this whole trial is a sham that is something weve also heard from the defense team when they came out of the courtroom very angry theyre saying that the fact that the judge mentioned. That hes political and hes biased im not neutral and that he has a political leaning towards the forces of freedom and coalition but in the coalition. Government protests that people have. A good point to make is the amount of support that Omar Al Bashir has its easy for us to think back on april when he was deposed the mass protests these to think well the whole country was against him thats not the case. No compared to the number of protesters that came out and took to the streets since december 29th 2018 demanding that the former president be ousted and comparing that to the number of protesters who came out to show support for the former president and to also condemn the move that has been taken by the Sovereign Council and council of ministers 2 weeks ago to dismantle the shearers a ruling party former ruling party the National Congress party comparing those 2 crowns there is a vast difference but people are concerned that this will trigger some kind of insecurity in a country that is already in turmoil the army issued a Statement Last night warning all citizens to stay away from Army Headquarters not just in the capital khartoum but the various other things and this morning people in sudan woke up to the military locking down all the roads leading to the Army Headquarters in the capital so they all confirmed that despite his supporters not being as much as supporters of the antigovernment protests that began last year there may be some kind of insecurity in a country and stuff here in morgan in concert in the latest on that trial against Omar Al Bashir saturdays trial it was about corruption and illegal possession of foreign funds but let us not forget bashir also faces many additional charges you go back well 10 years now 2009 when the International Criminal court charged him with 2 counts of war crimes and 5 counts of crimes against humanity that was his role for his role in the war in darfur which started in 2003 killed at least 300000 people with another 3000000 displaced a year later the same court in the hague brought 3 counts of genocide also relating to darfur and then in may of this year after he was deposed saddams Public Prosecutor charged bashir with inciting and participating in the killing of protesters activists say at least 100. 00 people were killed there and then in november he and several of his aides were charged for planning and carrying out the 989. 00 to the one that actually brought an hour in the 1st place. His journeys hona now Senior Analyst for sudan at the International Crisis group he says its likely the verdict will leave many people still feeling angry i think the 2 years is a quite a slap in the face for a lot of the Civil Society groups who have both nationally and internationally who were for try to bring bashir to book for a lot of his crimes but i think its key to remember that the government the Transitional Government led by a book has tried to essentially soft shoe this this this trial because it has such relevance to the political stability within the country which is finally balance between civilians and civilian and military Transitional Government and you know going with the financial crimes 1st has allowed them to to to just front load that and make sure that they dont create any of the more destabilizing ructions that would come from front loading some of the trials and. Regarding the sheers activities in darfur and south for the fun of blue nile as well as the even more recent and more visceral charges that are related to his his june the june massacre of protesters in khartoum. So the news an anger over a controversial citizenship law has brought thousands of people out onto the streets of indias capital new delhi a rally has been organized by the main opposition Congress Party and theyve been protests protests in other parts of the country too people have even died in the Northeastern State of the law that creates a park this is citizenship to 6 minority religious groups from neighboring countries but excludes muslims also how raman is at the rally in new delhi and says many demonstrators believe indias very constitution is under threat. Thousands of people have gathered to cross india to protest the citizens here in new delhi belly have gathered not just here. But theyre making no way to the main area where they expect to hear political leaders and Civil Society denounce the b j p government signed into law.

So i mean the. Minute he was just 17 was he a criminal he was on his way back from the protest but then they shot him just like that why did they shoot him who gave them the right to shoot him these students are sitting on a day long Hunger Strike and such protests are going to become routine at least that seems to be the strategy of the biggest Students Union and thats behind the movement these students say that theyve been betrayed by these the more the that Hindu Nationalist Party and that they may have made a mistake by walking the party to power they feel that the policies of this party and this government is against their interests the government is not big you have to decimus people because they have their own whats going so both Illegal Migrants do it we dont want banks and they dont fit in with caring about our sentiments our want issues for thats what it would say that we didnt mean.
