KHARTOUM: Sudanese protest leaders raised the pressure on the country's army rulers on Wednesday , threatening a general strike and calling for a million-strong march to demand a civilian government.
He also said that a"million-strong march" is planned, confirming a call by the Sudanese Professionals Association, the group that launched protests against Bashir in December.For the first time, Sudanese judges said they would join a sit-in outside army headquarters"to support change and for an independent judiciary".The demonstrations began in the central town of Atbara on Dec 19 against a decision by Bashir's government to triple bread prices.
The council, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan since his predecessor quit after barely 24 hours in the post, says it has assumed power for a two-year transitional period.The protesters suspended talks with the council on Sunday over its refusal to transfer power immediately. Thousands have camped outside the military headquarters in central Khartoum since before Bashir was deposed, and have vowed not to leave the area until their demands have been met."We support the legitimate demand of the people of Sudan for a civilian-led government, and we are here to urge and to encourage parties to work together to advance that agenda as soon as possible," State Department official Makila James said on Tuesday.
