Suspended the unions with the army after yesterdays violence because of its outside the military headquarters in the doctors linked to the opposition see 35 people were killed in mondays crackdown. The army says that thats where the result of the botched attempts to clear the street and has promised an investigation so the military leader apologized but said all agreements with the opposition wear off accusing them of trying to sideline the armed forces. The military council has decided the following we have offered to cancel what has been agreed and negotiations with a declaration of freedom and change forces.

This speech will drag the country down the opposition will not accept it and people in general are behind the declaration of freedom and change force regardless of their political affiliation with the government should abide by the peoples will and the people support with the Opposition Alliance is calling for. Any one of the high jump. Lives is a great tragedy that instead of celebrating eat we are burying our martin is there are people lying on beds at the hospital and that you know what is a life for we want to know and i can hear that in that she wants to know for some knowledge i am joined now in the studio by and from the German Institute for International Security thanks for being here and i see you again the last we spoke about that seymour said. Isnt it now i missed that if i vets yesterday on the eve of a major religious holiday i guess the question i want to find out is at the generals in control of their own forces yes i think they are and i think specifically the general who is commanding the r. S. F. The rep and support forces those who committed most of the atrocities yesterday he did command them to do that so he is in control and he wanted this to happen now that is interesting isnt it because you would assume that the way the sides and was going for an International Community was you know supporting whatever was going on and then this whats the strategy there good question i think the general the Vice President of the. Of the military council Transitional Military Council he announced on friday that he will not do with the with the protesters any mari considers them disruptive elements and that he feels like those negotiating on the civilian side one to construct a government that he is not happy with so he already announced that he will need to move against that thats the strategy whats the strategy beyond that i dont know he might just feel that its enough to be in power and he might not think that he needs the International Community so clearly he was stressed in the trip there which is exactly what you wrote on twitter its a day to what end well i think he wants he wants to be in power. 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 it or its either. The president follows him and then basically its the military against the civilians so who who really is in control of the streets in how to. Well i think as a yes today its its the those that we know its gender need its 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 talking about the protesters step 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 that 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 remaining as it is so thats why theyre back on the street can they remain the power can they remain the power they held for the last couple of months i think thats the question we will have to see and this is basically what they tried to break yesterday exactly by then dialogue as has been broken now between the protesters and the Traditional Council or the military council what does this mean whats the way forward now gaza seems like a very strong stumbling block isnt it yes i think for the Transitional Military Council it means they are leading the transition on their own without the civilians and they announced that they want to have elections in 7 months so its fronting as if they are producing some democratic and and for the civilians of means like they dont have trust in those who are leading the transitional Transitional Military Council what it could mean is either they find a way to replace those who are in control in the t. M. C. Right now where you know people from the army who are trusted to continue the debate or basically its going to be bashir 2. 0 minus bashir a final question before you go to the African Union the e. U. And the un have all condemned the killings that happened last monday. How much support do they have from the International Community the protesters like the protesters definitely i think from from the African Union that support is clear and it was quite clear you know a day after the protest i mean after the she was ousted came out with a strong statement the question is more how much support do those in the t. M. C. Feel that they have from others such as egypt and some of the gulf states and you know is there communication possible between those on that side and lets say they you and maybe the west on the other side well thanks very much and its very tough on the germans its huge for International Security affairs and sphere of time thank you very much thank you.
