Sudan will send troops across Khartoum amid protests against the seizure | Opposition Articles

The protests come two days after incumbent leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan re-elected himself as leader of the Sovereign Council.

Sudanese troops have been stationed on the streets before a series of pro-democracy protests against the occupation, with military officials stepping up their efforts despite intense pressure from the United States and other Western governments.

“Millions of people” marched on Saturday, called by Sudan’s democratic coalition, two days after terrorist leader General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan arrived. re-elected chief executive of the Sovereign Council, the interim governing body of Sudan.

His actions on Thursday outraged an agreement to promote democracy and frustrated the US and other countries who have urged military officials to change their occupation.

Sudanese troops he seized power on October 25, overthrowing a reformed government and arresting more officials and politicians.

The attacks have sparked international protests and major protests in the streets of Khartoum and elsewhere in the country.

The seizure heightened the country’s transition to democracy, two years after riots forced the ouster of former leader Omar al-Bashir.

Sudanese security forces fired tear gas to disperse protesters as hundreds of protesters marched on Khartoum headquarters on Saturday, witnesses told Reuters and AFP reporters.

Despite disrupting communications networks, hundreds also gathered in Omdurman’s capital, where police dispersed one group of protesters with tear gas, an AFP witness and reporter said.

Security forces fired tear gas east of Khartoum and “chased protesters out of the area,” the witness said.

Other demonstrations took place in Wad Madani, south of Khartoum, according to witnesses.

Hiba Morgan of Al Jazeera, from Khartoum, said there was a lot of security in the city.

“There is concern that there will be violence due to the proliferation of security forces, not only on the main bridges around the capital but also on the highways,” Morgan said.

“Protesters and demonstrators have lined up a list of hospitals where people say they should go if there is violence,” he added.

Saturday’s demonstrations were organized by the Sudanese Professionals’ Association and the Resistance Committees. Both groups are the instigators of the al-Bashir insurgency in April 2019.

Both groups have opposed the reversal of the power-sharing agreement that established the ousted government at the end of 2019.

They want the government to be handed over to the common people to lead the democratic transition.

The United Nations envoy to Sudan, Volker Perthes, urged security forces to “exercise greater restraint” during the planned protests and called for protests to “maintain peaceful protests.”

Since the overthrow of the government, at least 14 anti-protest activists have been killed as a result of the country’s growing security forces, according to Sudanese and UN doctors.

Continued efforts to mediate seek to find a solution to this problem.

Perthes said he had “held good talks” on Friday with representatives of the opposition committees in Khartoum, human rights activists and Mohammed Hassan al-Taishi, a former member of the dissolved organization. Nasredeen Abdulbari, the state justice minister who was ousted took part.
