what should happen to omar al—bashir? because he stands accused of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide. and amnesty internationaljoan nyanyuki say he "must be immediately handed over to the icc, the international criminal court, for due process to be followed. his case must not be hurriedly tried in sudan's notoriously dysfunctional legal system. justice must be served." will you hand him over to the icc? so he will not be handed over to the icc? do you have the mandate to decide that, because what if the transitional government or a subsequent democratically elected government says we don't abide by what general burhan says, we want to see omar al—bashir delivered to the icc and the sudanese professionals association says that as an option they want to leave open. you couldn't stop that, could you? so you accept it's not a guarantee that you can make? could you pre—empt this, perhaps, by allowing him to go into exile somewhere, because president museveni of uganda has said he would give him shelter. is t

, omar al—bashir, and ahmed haroun. you don't appear on any list like that. but can i ask you, can you fully defend your actions in darfur? in a statement via spokesman mutasim mohamed saleh, thejem, justice and equality movement, have made a demand that all the war—related detainees in darfur be released. and he says "not releasing them is a call for the continuation of the war and a further rupture of the country," sudan. have you released all detainees? can i ask you now to the circumstances of the removal of omar al—bashir, what made you and your senior army colleagues decide that it was time for bashir to go? was there any danger at any time that force was going to be stepped up against the protesters? was that something that omar al—bashir, at the time, was asking for? and did you personally tell him, no, that's not acceptable? there are reports that you are one of three army officers who personally told president bashir that he was no longer in power. can you confirm that? what did you say to him? and what

al—bashire up military strongman omar al—bashire up to 30 years in power. he was forced out by long protests led by the sudanese professional association. they say they will not stop the demonstrations until the military council ruling the country hands overpowered to the civilians. how realistic are these demands. in this special edition of hardtalk, i have three guests from different groups in the protest movement. my first guest is professor mohamed yousef, official spokesman for the sudanese professional association. what will it take for you to call of these protests? i know it is very difficult to exactly predict. we are so difficult to exactly predict. we are so optimistic that it is going to be in effect next week because the number of factors are gathering to accelerate the process. one of them, the amassing of more people in the sitting area from all over the country, from different regions. but the sudanese professional association does not represent all of sudan. of course, of course. around them are people from different walks of life. farmers,

well, omar al-bashir remains injailand influence. well, omar al-bashir remains in jail and there influence. well, omar al-bashir remains injail and there are discussions between civilians and the military for a transition to civilian rule. is there a chance that the military is going to lose patience with these discussions and simply unilaterally decide to maintain rule over the country?” don't expect that to happen. the military council as pledge to the international community that it will not dissolve the force to break up the civil protests that are continuing. they did depose the —— omar al—bashir to maintain the system of corruption, repression, however, the nation is not buying that and they have succeeded in deposing omar al—bashir, they have succeeded in deposing the general and the head of the council today is on notice. the peoples demands of a tra nsfer on notice. the peoples demands of a transfer led by civilian authorities, they will be disobedience in the country that has —— company that has paralysed the

al—bashir. but the general only 2a hours ago said this is the situation and of the different elements of the security apparatus of the country had made this decision and got rid of him, and we will give you a transition for two years maximum, and that was not enough to satisfy them but then he meekly appears to have accepted his own fate? i think he has bowed to the inevitable really. it was very clear that the protesters were not going to a cce pt that the protesters were not going to accept him. they thought that this was just the regime reinventing itself, the islamic regime of president omar al—bashir reinventing itself, but there are still worry now that this may be happening again. what about the problems that act as a catalyst for this? there are some very severe problems affecting sudan, its economy and its whole way of life for people their... what do you think is the most important thing that a new government in whatever form will have to tackle? it will have to bring democracy and t

take a look now at omar al bashir is decades overall sarkar reports are toward. a man whose career has been defined by war he led sudan through various conflicts and during the breakup of africa's largest country he was the last man to lead a united sudan al bashir who came to power in a bloodless military coup in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine overthrowing a democratically elected government he ran the country as a military ruler for more than twenty five years where conflict was almost constant . two civil wars between the north and south cost the lives of one and a half million people. and the continuing conflict in the western region of darfur killed more than two hundred thousand people and fourth two million others to flee their homes a fragile peace took hold in two thousand and three and after two years of negotiations the rebels signed a peace deal with the government to end the civil war. that's agreement led to a referendum for independence in south sudan making it the world's newest country in twenty eleven. al bashir was the only serving head

what's keeping sudan's president empowered omar al bashir refuses to resign despite four months of mass protests and for the first time soldiers have intervened to protect a protest against there is military support for the president wavering this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program on martine dennis those anger at the price of bread and feel that sparked mass protests in sudan that was last december for months on the rallies of evolved into demands for an end to the thirty year rule of president omar al bashir and for the first time sit in these protests is got as far as all me headquarters in the capitol hill tomb where the president also has a home. the riot police and intelligence service agents fired tear gas to disperse the protesters bought some soldiers stepped in to protect them nonetheless army commanders have so far resisted calls to help remove bashir at least eleven people have been killed since saturday the opposition sudan congress party now says it's formed a transitional council to lead the country so why has omar al bashir been in power for so long into m

al bashir. i suppose that's possible it's difficult for me sitting in washington to know about it the schisms within the military and if your other guests are correct and these schisms exist that scenario can play out i'm not in in a position to judge that but it's also possible that these schisms may not exist to that extent and one thing you want to avoid at this point is wide spread bloodshed in the country that would be the worst of of all outcomes if there's if there is a way to negotiate with the military and perhaps there is not but if there is a way i think it should be tried and if it is found to be impossible then obviously these protests are going to go on pretty much as they are today i have faced mahomet's in her heart too in. the threats of violence the fear of violence is something which looms large here if the military are not willing to end simonson the go see a shit do you worry that their kids be bloodshed. yeah i think i think there is a way of avoiding bloodshed because i th
