The street remains determined in Sudan for a transfer of power to civilians. Thousands of protesters shigned again “no partnership, no negotiation” or shouted that they wanted “the military will come into their barracks,” Tuesday, November 30, in the capital, Khartoum. Sudanese security forces shot tearful grenades on protesters, witnesses reported to the France-Press agency (AFP).
The protesters converge towards the presidential palace: former headquarters of the dictator Omar Al-Bachir, overthrown by the army under the pressure of a popular revolt in 2019, he has since become the seat of the transition authorities headed by the General Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Al-Bourhane, author of Putsch of October 25th. That day, Sudan entered the unknown and – especially – in a spiral of violence, the repression that resulted in forty-two dead and hundreds of wounded.
Nearly a month after this coup, an agreement was signed: the Civilian Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok found his position, while the MIlide of the Army – and General Al-Bourhane in particular – was consecrated at least until the elections promised in July 2023.
“A clear answer to the foolish gesture of the putschists”
Since, many civil society organizations, ministers undertaken by the Putsch and many protesters denounce the agreement of 21 November without releasing, seen by the international community as a first step towards the return to democracy. For the Association of Sudanese Professionals (APS), one of the spearheads of the 2019 revolt, the manifestation of Tuesday is “a clear answer to the foolish gesture of the putschists”.
The APS shows the army and Hamdok, now conspired by the street that sees it as a “traitor”, to “reproduce the old regime and its corruption”, while Sudan came out there is Two years of thirty years of Militaro-Islamist dictatorship of General Al-Bachir.
