Picture: OZAN KOSE/AFPKhartoum — Sudan’s ruling Transitional Military Council and opposition forces appeared to be on a collision course on Monday amid deepening differences over demands for civilian rule after the deposing of president Omar al-Bashir.
“We request the honourable citizens to help clear these negative features that impact the lives of citizens and the security of the country,” said the council. Roads and access ways for public transport would “be opened immediately”.The Sudanese Professionals’ Association , main organiser of the protests, said on Sunday it would suspend talks with the council.
The SPA has also called for sweeping changes to end a violent crackdown on dissent, purge corruption and cronyism and ease an economic crisis that worsened during the last years of Bashir’s 30-year rule.
