'We want civilian rule or we will stay here forever,' said protester Iman Hussein, a regular at the sit-in which protesters have kept up since April 6.
The generals insist they will not use force to disperse the sit-in which protesters have kept up through the daytime fasts observed by Muslim during the holy month of Ramadan.
The generals have offered several concessions to placate the protesters, including detaining Bashir in Khartoum's Kober prison, arresting several of his lieutenants and promising to prosecute officers who killed protesters during the demonstrations against the old regime.But when it comes to the protesters' key demand for a civilian authority to oversee a four-year transition, the military has simply dragged its heels.
"They are pressuring us with time, but we are pressuring them with our presence here," said protester Hussein.Last month, the Alliance for Freedom and Change, which brings together the protest movement and opposition and rebel groups, handed the generals its proposals for a civilian-led transition.
