From the New York Times are micro along this today, Terry led massacre in Sudan has left more than one Hundred protesters dad just weeks after the military had offered its ought to those protests, in overthrowing the country's dictating DEC these incidents, capital of culture it's my June twenty fourth. So that is where do we leave things when we last spoke of you so but after we spoke, the protesters Jonesy down had scored a huge treat, after months of street protests against military rule, they had just managed to topple format, half now

after thirty years in how Omar Al Bashir is now being kept in, solitary confinement in a prison in county he'd be declared and rolling down for thirty years and had gotten rid of heaven, but after they got rid of Bashir, Army General took control of the country. By the Defence Minister and the head of the high Security committee, announced that brooding over the previous regime, and I also announced the formation of a transitional military council that will manage the state for ye a period. We're gonna shepherd this country through this transitional period, maybe two years are three years and at the end about the election and the processes that no Just you you ve had enough of military rule. We want a transition to a civilian led government. Now, so what they want is a non military

and they want civilian run. Sudan, that's right, Until the booty struggle going on, you had how do these? Thousands of sudanese young student needs were camped at the gate of the military headquarters, actively blocking people from entering and leaving by the main entrance and inside those gay you had the countries powerful notary generals how the protesters it's ok, we're gonna, keep calm, we're all gonna talk our way out of this, and that went on for weeks and weeks they dragged off. Into the holy. Not a random people went back to work, but they would get out of the protests area after work. They were

sit down and have their evening meal break their fast, and many of people would spend the night at the protest site, just The point that they didn't. Why leave until they got that they had come for all through the month of May. The momentum of these protests continue. The protesters are not willing to back down from their demand. And yet there are signs that the generals are losing patience and attention starts to build, and then all that comes to a head early in the morning of June heard in what happens on the morning of third? The night before there had been arranged on the ground. With sudden the electricity in the area have been turned off, You had these thousands of protesters opting for the night passed to flee, and by the Amber morning, thousands of soldiers

sand on the area thought that comes from all directions. There, led by soldiers from the paramilitary forces, called the rapid. And forces rampage through the protest area. They burn the tenth. The people are sweeping, they start. Dot buying their guns first in the air then directly at some of the protesters. We see these images of hundreds of people running for their lifetime streets captured on video by many the protesters themselves? There are account my witnesses that Several dozen women were raped, perhaps many they dumped the bodies of some of the people who had been killed in the. By the end of the morning, paramilitary groups have managed to push always protesters off. The put aside

and scattering into the neighborhoods around the porter leaders and the doctors group that work with them have so far come one hundred and twenty eight people killed on that day and also in similar cure that took place in thirteen towns across Sudan. On that same morning,. Don't worry you able to speak with any the protesters in the aftermath of this attack and the day after the attack I tracked down as many people as I could read lived through. These events was saying- and this is what president It would be interesting. She's young woman named allow fella to the outside world at least had become the face of Sudan to protest.

You are an architecture citizens I am the young, as investing featured in the very soon photograph where she was standing on the roof of a car addressing hundreds of people. Wearing now flowing quite robe with gold jewelry. And holding a finger along and people saw this as the embodiment of the use of defiance. Of the prominent role of women in protest movement on June. She had been protest in the night before but went home, to keep in her own bad. She got home about to Turkey in the morning

by the legislature, the body but could sleep because on Facebook, people had started to get wind that something was a soldier. There's nothing in greater numbers than normal in the neighborhood surround the protest area, so she said these warnings. She was not able to sleep and then, of course, at five o clock people started sending these frantic messages, including girls. Then I think that this attack effectively was under way, so she left her house and she rushed down to the protesters. See if she could get in this area. Because of that the military by them, because, of course, the pre planned. Operation, they have killed off the entire area, and so she was forced to stand back and watch at his master started a flood and my friend about what will happen.

To them I had a friend one of her friend died on Saturday and some of them, and they were in hospital. One of her friends Ready ass c mon. Felt that you wanted to cry so hard. She fell deeply, but. And then the internet, like that. I'm sorry They had no more use on what was going on. The military had cut the cord on their principal upon this communication during the protests against the sheer state media and that you don't tv station, the newspapers couldn't be relied on to say what was going against this man who is so powerful. So the protests

I have used social media in a very powerful way, could get out the message about what they were doing it to provide images that rally, people and the military understood acutely what had helped the protest. But after I've been Bashir back in April and they were determined not to have the same thing happen again. Is anybody. I fear, will allow philosophy be very interesting to me, happened in the fourth, they knew that this thing might happen have too much work. And what does she mean by that? That's my friends to the man who ordered these attacks and who had carried out atrocities in black bathroom palms of tat for many years before

and is John Mohammed. Combine everybody here called him Amity Amity. Haven't you who comes from one of the poorest and most remote parts of the country, he was recruited by the cap. To be a commander in one he's militias colleague Janjaweed. The Khartoum government denies helping the Janjaweed but officials here the militiamen are by the central authorities and get tactical support from military aircraft to effectively carry out its dirty work. In Darfur it one to quell insurgency led by people from an ethnically african background and armed and we needed this mission called the Janjaweed carried out attacks, not just against rabbled, but against civilians. Hundreds of thousands of people, three hundred thousand people died, join US object and President Bashir himself faced genocide. Accusations

international criminal court as a result of his role in that continent, we concluded, I concluded that genocide has been committed in Darfur, and that the government of Sudan and the Janjaweed Bear Responsibility and then later about five years ago, President Bashir started The Janjaweed into the new force, which he called the rapid support forces he made them Finally, a paramilitary, Google is the artist s the same thing as those Janjaweed militias slight differences in terms of the recruitment, but yes, daddy, exactly the same sucks and he started to use them not just to fight in Darfur, but also in other parts of Sudan. Where rebellion petty Rapid So, how did he had a rule of the commander in Darfur, but when the protests started and when

sure was overthrown. Genetic amity portrayed himself at the side of the protesters. We want free and fair elections and for the Sudanese People to pick her they want and then on, to inherit, of course, Amity effectively pull the rug from under all about people and he sent his troops onto the streets of Khartoum. So these protests, placed their trust in a sense in the wrong man. These protesters did not think that this man He's gonna turn his guns on them the same way as he had come into force many years earlier, and it turned out that they were wrong I'll see that so many people were left wondering how could their country's military justified its use of violence against crippled unarmed civilian said that only wanted by the return to democracy in the country. At the last week I went to Sudan

military headquarters where General Amity, without setting an alpha close to the top floor, and I asked him back. Our work is giving one million dollars and talent grants to business is working to counter the ongoing impacts of carbon nineteen as the world's largest network of remote professionals, their connecting existing teams with remote experts in tech, creative and operations, in an effort to help them

lives and rebuild the economy to learn more good upward dot com, sash work together so decadent. Take me through the day that you went to visit this general Amity so drugs with the drive through the deserted protest area. By now, this whole place have become unrecognizable from what it was just a couple of weeks ago. There is no longer any people there under the soldiers, Hyaena streets work got it applied, watched the graffiti from the walls, but the protesters had put up an we drive through the gate into the military headquarters, and after a of waiting we are ushered into this huge office, says the heart of this debate:

and the man himself is sitting barren desert alone had included in this arm chair surrounded by courtiers advisers, people who are bringing him food very much like someone who's looking like he's at home and enjoy the trapping the office that he has now come to occupy were recorded, and what did he say You have this american boy he's due to come to cutting. Today, I'm sure he's gonna meet with you. What your message going to be for him before here he said he's coming tell the army to stop killing civilians

respond to any use pervasive, and then he tried to turn the focus away from the soldiers and onto the protesters themselves. You tried to portray the protesters at ease, degenerate young people who were doing drugs drinking alcohol care. To the street, the Khartoum and put your soldiers either to correct something really a shame happening, because I want to say it, but he said he told me with very little story about how one of the protesters had flashed his penis at a soldier. That's doing like this right and left don't you guys, but as yet, and stopping them with words and the unemployed

that they were not good Muslims and that their behaviour had gotten out of control, and then they had taken. Five people will be retained in the same building. On that created in front of me, young guys were barefoot, someone in rags and they were just make a stand there in front of me. I was not allowed to ask any questions he's making an argument that sisters deserve this totally. He turned the Lamb await middle men and towards the people there who are accused of carrying out these acts of violence again, but to encourage the doctors say that there is so much violence against them. They say that meeting people, killed by your soldiers. There were body thrown in the night. This video It is tempting burned There are people of doctors who spoke about Bullet invited clinics. And be raped, sexually assaulted, Now people are saying that this is just the same,

In general, we treated the same atrocities in Darfur, but nothing has changed. And then he went or a more only goes to approach. He said well administered up judiciary now, looking after this things that you asked now, and he cannot say anything because it doesn't want to destroy the decision of the minutes. In addition on that occasion under way- and I do not want to prejudice the results of that, so I'm not going to comment any further with respect. That sounds like a good excuse. That sounds like a with you not to talk about the serious accusations that have been made against you know. People people people outside they want to know the answer to his act as they heard about the killings and they would like. But your responses, you, ever

of yours he see he say anything during the investigation. This is you know, where these investigations as he falling yeah? I didn't really expect I was going to get a straight answer from him about the terrible accusations that have been made against his men from June turd, but I did want to get a sense of how he viewed himself sitting now

suddenly investor, you did a power. Do you intend to ensure politics and there's a rumour that you're setting up a political party is where is he headed his impatience? What we expect from them in the future, first of all, I had was a decent and I don't like quality simply and I'm not gonna be uploaded December, because what in the next breath. Almost he said because now the words on doing this kind of policy, because if I didn't hear politic man in that situation, now the company will get into a loss, and I left

Don't you view with this? You know very self serving explanation, this man, but also one that made clear that he did not intend to lead that office anytime soon. As far as I can see and sure enough. Just a couple of days later, I went to a delicate about forty miles. North of Khartoum where he held me described as almost like a kind of presidential election rally. A couple of thousand people had gathered in the stuff you peering, but by the banking denial. Amity laws up from Khartoum and if each com boy with dozens of vehicle, heavily armed with all sorts of guns and then heavy stands up onto the stage. I delivered this speech,

he stood there and he held up a stick and he waved it until the repression image brings mind. Nobody more than deposed President Bashir Laugh was the way that a sheer spoke to them protection years You just couldn't help, but have this idea that the sea he's. Resolution may have gotten rid of Omar Al Bashir, but someone who appears to be modeling himself in his image now is shut himself up for some sort of political in the future So is this it? for the protesters, is this movement over. When I asked of us all about this How do you feel about that

now You were famous that was an image and inspiring manageable at this moment now. Do you still feel hopeful? She started off by telling me just what a depressing moment. He told me that she can't bear to even physic he put aside in front of the military headquarters, and yet a key element They want We went to the project area and we start of illusion. We

She said you know what this is not done, yet you homey still our friends the bad news and sure enough. Last Wednesday evening, I went out to its job on the edge of the city, where a protest had started again, and you have hundreds of people sitting outside in chairs, even and so forth, but they pulled up to the front rows of discovering listening

who played a conspicuous, and it was this really bracing moment where you saw no. This is this is not done and in fact that meeting was one of several that have taken place across the last number of days in various parts of Khartoum. Trying to restart this revolution, get people to move past the depression of what happened on June third and to really instil a sense of hope again in the idea that surrounds revolution is not yet over. There were a couple of moments where people raise the chant of Mother NEA, which means in rule and the whole place rose, and everybody shouted together. Tackling thank you very much at you. Michael
