The Sudanese army is planning to make 'an important announcement' floowing protests against President Omar al-Bashir.
Sudanese demonstrators chant slogans as they gather at night during a demonstration in front of the military headquarters in the capital Khartoum on April 10, 2019.
Thousands of Khartoum residents chanted"the regime has fallen" as they flooded the area around army headquarters where protesters have held an unprecedented sit-in now in its sixth day."The Sudanese army will issue an important statement soon. Wait for it," the state television anchor said, without giving further details.
Crowds of demonstrators have spent five nights defiantly camped outside the sprawling headquarters complex, which also houses Bashir's official residence and the defence ministry. Several military vehicles carrying troops entered the compound in the early hours of Thursday, witnesses said.
