Culture and the threats. Hello im christine. Its good to have you along sudans top general has been sworn in as the leader off a joint military civilian Transitional Council the body will run the country until elections can be held thats invision to happen in 3. Today. On is to leave the Transitional Council for the 1st 21 months hell be followed by a civilian the haunch the military council which took over the running of the country following the president Omar Al Bashir in april. He then im going to show people happy and satisfied but if anything happens and if we dont see any new well nothing being achieved will hold another revolution on top of the council same as we did with Omar Al Bashir as you say one of them is the one that got into the little bit at the table with me is asked me it is im he is a sudanese political activist he caught an ace of dice for if its supposed to be a pretty face on the ground in sadat welcome to africa its welcome back i think it is so the military is now sharing power with civilians in sudan right so it was coming from 30 odd years off basically military what would you say that your country is now going in the right direction right direction it would be depend on the next government which kind of is theres a lot of sickos like the constitution that have been signed or procedure documents have been signed and also the formation of the government is based on compromise so how is going to heading as i read their action if the 2 parties think that as a politician the next level this is working with will be the question if they think as enemies i think its with just disagreement with organ cleanups from the beginning ok so lets talk about the 2 bodies now overseeing sudan right so youve got the heads of state will the head of state and and the Transitional Council you also have the Prime Minister and the governor that he will fall what do you understand about what the agenda is going to be for the next 3 is coming from 2 different is for him to council to superintend the Transitional Council is sort of the it has to do is like big political decisions like war and Human International relationships and does all this event but the Prime Minister is actually coming from this Development Background he has to be the question is has to solve the economic of question which is from the beginning just for the 1st reason that people are coming out to street but it still is also his face but the minister of interior ministry of defense that they are part of the military which is are said to control the tools of violence and its also based on compromise and agreement so there is a need to be a lot of compromise a lot of but it. And that could be made that need to be agreed between the 2 parties ok if this being the people insist we see them on this well here theyve brought us to where we are today right what would it take what would have to happen to get people back onto the streets again i think if this agreement could last through we go back to just treat again and agreement is kind of came as a compromise in the middle of their vote if your process and it still people are like their monitors to riches Civic Democratic contrary which is also a comic of prosperity and a little bit of social justice in this time the government has no magic is to solve the solution in serious but the need to include all of those people in Decision Making and also participate political participation is through forming a political symbol of infrastructure Flexible Organization association and send the kits that could make those people heard or their voices come to come to realities or even expanded to pay it but the era i want to get the same i mean any lection live weve been promised an election 3 is do you think that thats going to happen. Im actually. Kind of confident by the people not confident by the agreement confident by the people who went in this december volution are so determined to lead this country Democratic Civil democratic country is a culture now the street is kind of call it the supreme ideology for young activists in the street and they are actually determined to fulfill this this demands or this dream ask me to say thank you farai.

Areas. Jailing these leaders is for me a way of putting on the brakes putting up a barrier and seeing that dialogue will never really take place so i think that given the way the government is behaving dialogue is not on the agenda. When apollo that. We want peace in the jail under full leaders again on the other hand all n. G. O. S everyone is shouting everyone is talking everyone is calling for dialogue everyone is asking for the release of these leaders so that they can sit at a table on the gauge and dialogue. Lets go if it. Is standing by hey l. Good to see you so whats been the reaction among julius top is supposes today.

Was able to negotiate with nigeria to arrest these people you know pretty tender some of their ideas at some point dont have access to speak to them to speak to see quite a few talented people you know some of their lives where mishandled sometimes driven away from the court so in as much as there is a sense that these people all died for the Security Forces attacking this or lesion there are people who strongly believe that this was right was not for that so its a piece of we front ok and one more for you and briefly what is the situation as we speak in the crisis areas and camera it.
