Mass protests in Sudan show strong support for a civilian-led democracy, but analysts warn street demonstrations may have little impact

Under a 2019 power-sharing deal after the ouster of long-time dictator Omar al-Bashir, Sudan is ruled by a sovereign council of civilian and military representatives tasked with overseeing a transition to a full civilian government.On Thursday, tens of thousands of Sudanese marched in several cities to back the full transfer of power to civilians, and to counter a rival days-long sit-in outside the presidential palace in the capital Khartoum demanding a return to “military rule”.

But it has drawn support from some of those hit hard by tough International Monetary Fund-backed economic reforms implemented by Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, a former UN economist. On Friday, Finance Minister Gibril Ibrahim — an ex-rebel leader from Darfur, who joined the government after a landmark 2020 peace deal — took part in Friday prayers at the pro-military sit-in.

Delays in delivering justice to the families of those killed under Bashir, and even during the 2019 protests following his ouster, have left Hamdok vulnerable to criticism.

Army faults report on sale of arms to terrorists - Daily TrustThe Nigerian Army has faulted a report which accused military personnel of selling arms to terrorists and bandits. It's not about faulting report, they should provide evidence to the contrary, I read that article, and it is very plausible..... The Nigerian Military needs to be sanitised and re-professionalised if ever there was an iota of professionalism there. I don't believe them . The integrity of some Nigerian Army personel are in doubt
