Can Sudan’s peaceful protesters usher in a civilian-led government?
As Sudanese protests continue across the country without losing momentum, the ruling military council, which emerged following the military coup that ousted former president Omar al Bashir, is trying to find a way to calm them down.
But demonstrators have continued to hold their sit-ins, protests, processions and other forms of civic engagement, to maintain pressure on the military council to recognise their demands, Baldo said, while also noting that protests have been peaceful since the very beginning despite the regime’s violent crackdown.
They also a demand for the formation of a kind of legislating body for lawmaking during the transition, according to Baldo. “They did go and the meeting went very well according to statements of both the council and the Freedom and Change Forces,” Baldo further said. They included the powerful head of the National Police, the deputy director of the National Intelligence Security Services and the head of the political committee of the council.
