Thousands of protesters have been encamped outside the sprawling military headquarters in central Khartoum since April 6.

Sudanese protest leaders on Wednesday threatened to launch a nationwide campaign of civil disobedience after accusing the country’s military rulers of delaying the transfer of power to a civilian administration.

The 10-member military council late on Tuesday said it agreed to the overall proposals, but had “many reservations”. “The measures of escalation for us are defined — they are continuing with the sit-in, and we are now preparing for a civil disobedience” campaign across the country, he said.“The military council’s response… is moving in the direction of extending the negotiations and not in the direction of a transition” of power, it said in a statement.

Sudanese media and websites have often reported that for the protest leaders the issue of legislation and Islamic law is something that can be discussed later, but they first want a civilian body established in order to govern the country.
