a nearly seven years state that ended abruptly his arrest earlier this week. i'm calling assman thanks for joining us the new head of sudan's military council says a civilian government will be formed after talks with the opposition in his first televised address earlier today lieutenant general abdel fatah bore han said the transition period would last for a maximum of two years the leader was also also said he was canceling a curfew ordered by his predecessor demonstrators have been keeping up the pressure demanding civilian rule activists say sixteen people including a soldier have been killed in the two days since the army ousted longtime president omar al bashir sudan's military chief stepped down just a day after he was sworn in as the country's new leader and the country's intelligence chief has now resigned as well. oh.
this is sudan's naval headquarters inside the military transition council is hold up outside largely peaceful protests but with a clear message the sudanese people do not want to be ruled by the military chiefs who ended the thirty year regime of the veteran president omar al bashir. but the army is still very much in charge by shares immediate successor i want him in over a general linked to the genocide in darfur lasted just one day in the top job before announcing his resignation he was replaced by another army commander on the plus side the new chief abdel-fattah han is not wanted for war crimes but protesters want a clean break with the old many of the demonstrators are young and they're actively organizing including setting up their own security they say more than a dozen people have been killed by security forces in recent days and they have
already intercepted one car with explosives. we also. call scum in the cold with. some scope like a modern call to three. civilian called we call comes through we call transports. so they see the tunnel so people. watch this no one not even the old is immune from being searched emotions are high but mixed. so this i feel like overwhelming. joy that. you feel like a friend yet. i feel like that the same time and believe me i know but i think. the protesters have to stay on the streets until a civilian not
a military transitional council is in place. joining me now in studio de w's not are also not i mean things are changing so fast on the ground we heard the latest news of don's interim leader announcing the formation of a limited civilian government within two years what do you make of that recent announcement and it's interesting because he kind of made some concessions towards the protests movement to the opposition leaders. in contradiction to his predecessor who stepped down yesterday so it's not really known what's going to happen next because basically he said it's going to take two years that's was his for it is for disaster said yesterday so i'm not sure if the process will be happy with that that it's taking two years for them to have a transitional civilian government so we'll have to see how things develop in the next few weeks we've seen of course a few other victories for these protesters the defense minister abruptly stepping
down that curfew has now been lifted. to get those protesters off the streets or do you expect them to keep protesting. yeah this is actually part of what they were demanding the actually what i hear from from all the people i've talked to. would be given a news people actually the important thing is to have a civilian government as soon as possible now the. leaders of the protest. movement they've met today with the military council and it seems that they're making some progress they're coming forward and they're trying to reach a deal what is very important for the protesters and their leaders is to have the civilian government and not to have to be under military rule and the next. few years maybe few months we heard that announcement of the military perhaps handing over some power to civilians how much trust is there though right now between the
civilians in the military this is the problem trust is a very. rare thing here because people they don't want this egyptian like scenario to repeat itself in sudan they saw that the military in egypt took over power and they ousted the democratically elected president and then they just stayed in power and now they have a kind of a massive crackdown on all kind of up. they don't want this to happen in sudan and that's why they are still protesting still demanding that really civilian government should. be in power as soon as possible not also to us from the desk thanks very much to another african country shaken by protests now algeria's magistrates have said they will boycott controversial presidential elections scheduled for july but straights play a key role in the electoral process lawyers and a group of a hundred judges staged protests in the capital algiers mass demonstrations were

one million lego bricks show the portraits of the forty three mexican students who disappeared twenty fourteen a case and conflicting information from mexican authorities about their potential murder sparked months of protests and it became a rallying cry against widespread violence in mexico by way says every crime committed damages human society as a whole. for more i'm joined by de w's nicole reese you've been taking a closer look at that exhibition now nikolai way of course known for his controversial art pieces why is he now focusing on the disappearance of these students well this obviously is not just an exhibition about i don't know different take on pixel art this is pretty much his very unique way of showing that he demands justice for those who have to sit i mean if we look at these portraits these are the same faces that we saw on the post after this whole case happened of parents who printed these faces of their sons on the premises and they took to the streets they asked about the truth they ask what happened to my children so it's
a very personal thing as well having these pictures shown them that we see on the wall as well and he has also met with some of the family members and that pretty much emotionally overwhelmed him himself as a son at the press conference he said well he could not imagine losing his son like that and not knowing his whereabouts and that's also something else he said let's take a listen forget about the markers are among human beings and select few for you here's someone you heart you neighbor is. boy can never come back. and the government take four years cannot you go concretion what kind of our government is that you know what kind of society would be. so you can destroy says there are now walk us back to twenty fourteen and remind us about the significance of these particular students well these particular students have kind of become the
symbol for corruption and violence that has been haunting mexico for many many years and when they disappeared on the twenty sixth of september in two thousand and fourteen mexicans just had enough it was enough that forty three people at one point just disappeared and nobody really knew what happened so that's when they got angry and overwhelmed with the overall situation these guys were on the way to protest i wanted to protest against the discriminating hiring practices of teachers they themselves were on the path to becoming teachers and that's supposedly when they were stopped and attacked by the police then handed over to a local drug gang who then is set to have killed these people and burned them in a garbage dump you know if that's pretty much leaves off without a trace but there's another investigation by independent pendant experts that says we don't believe that it happened by reopen the case and that didn't happen back leaving everybody else pretty much in limbo not knowing what happened to these guys emotional case in an emotional exhibit there from highway i. think of
