The military council which took over the running of the country following the president Omar Al Bashir in april. Bakiev and people are 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 i got into it at the table with me is asked me it is im he is a sudanese political activist he coordinates it dies for if its supporting the protests 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 which is say that your country is now going in the right direction right direction it would be depend on the next government which kind of just theres a lot of obstacles like the constitution that have been signed the procedure becomes have been signed and also the formation of the government is based on compromise so how is going to that heading as i read their action if the 2 parties think that as a part of getting the next level this is where we will be to the question if they think as enemies i think its with just disagreement with or and you can ops from the beginning ok all right so lets talk about the 2 bodies now overseeing saddam right so youve got the heads of state will they hit of state and and this 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 support and Transitional Council is sort of the it has to do is like big political decisions like war and Human International relationships and its all disadvantage but the Prime Minister is actually coming from this Development Background he has to be the question is has to sole canonical question which is from the beginning this was the 1st reason that people are coming out to st 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 political agendas could. Be made that need to be agreed between the 2 parties ok if this bring the people insist we see them on this wall 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 is just treat again and their agreement is kind of as as came as a compromise in the middle of their voyage for your illusionary process and it still people are late their demand is to riches Civic Democratic contrary which is also a comical 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 strew forming a political civil infrastructure Flexible Organization association and send the kits that could make those people heard or their voice come to come to reality the next political ok but the era i want to get this and i mean any election weve been promised an election 3 is do you think that thats going to happen.

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. We want peace in the jail and the phone leaders again on the other hand all n. G. O.
