Sudanese authorities have released several civilian leaders detained since last month's military coup, one of the former captives said Monday, amid efforts to restore a fragile transition process towards full democracy.

Sudanese people watch a live broadcast of Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok during a deal-signing ceremony to restore the transition to civilian rule in the country, at a coffee shop in the capital Khartoum, on November 21, 2021.

“I was released late yesterday evening,” following a deal to reverse the military takeover, the head of Sudan’s Congress Party, Omar al-Degeir, who was among civilians arrested in the army’s October 25 power grab, told AFP.The Congress Party, however, slammed Sunday’s deal, saying it “explicitly legitimised the continuation of the coup regime”.

Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok’s advisor Yasser Arman, a leading figure of Sudan’s mainstream civilian bloc, Forces for Freedom and Change, was among those freed, according to Degeir.Top general Abdel Fattah al-Burhan last month declared a state of emergency and ousted the government, in a move that upended a two-year transition to civilian rule.

However, analysts warn the move simply “whitewashes” the coup, as it remains unclear how much power Hamdok’s government will yield.Thousands of demonstrators in multiple rallies rejected the deal, shouting, “No to military power” and demanding that the armed forces fully withdraw from government.
