Sudan protesters call for talks with army on ‘government transition’
KHARTOUM, April 8, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – The Sudanese group spearheading
months-long protests against President Omar al-Bashir’s rule Monday called on
the army to hold direct talks with demonstrators about forming a transitional
government.
“We call on the Sudanese armed forces to talk directly with the Alliance
for Freedom and Change for facilitating the peaceful process of forming a
transitional government,” Omar el-Digeir, a senior member of the group, said
in a statement outside the army headquarters where thousands of demonstrators
have massed since Saturday.
