The rally comes after Sudan's new military rulers and protest leaders agreed to set up a joint committee, to chart the way forward after the ouster of Omar al-Bashir.

KHARTOUM - Sudanese marchers converged from all directions on army headquarters for a "million-strong" demonstration on Thursday to turn up the heat on the ruling military council after three of its members resigned following talks on handing over power.

"Our sit-in will continue to protect our revolution and to ensure that all our demands are achieved," the alliance said in a statement.They included dozens of judges, dressed in their robes, rallying from the constitutional court, an AFP photographer said. Several people held banners calling on Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi not to "interfere in our affairs", after Cairo hosted a summit of African leaders calling for more time for a transition to civilian rule in Sudan.

"We have an agreement on most demands presented in the document of the Alliance for Freedom and Change," Lieutenant General Shamseddine Kabbashi, spokesman of the military council, told reporters afterwards. "Both sides agreed on the importance of joint cooperation to steer the country towards peace and stability," the SPA said on Thursday.

They were Lieutenant General Omar Zain al-Abdin, Lieutenant General Jalaluddin Al-Sheikh and Lieutenant General Al-Tayieb Babikir.
