African Union threatens to suspend Sudan’s membership unless military council steps downKHARTOUM/CAIRO: Sudan’s protest leaders piled pressure on the country’s new military rulers on Monday to hand over power immediately to a civilian government. They were joined by the African Union, which threatened to suspend Sudan’s membership unless civilian authority is in place within 15 days. The replacement of former ruler Omar Al-Bashir with a transitional military council was an unacceptable coup d’etat, the African Union said. “So we are initiating this even before having this session with the African Union. “The decision whether to extradite Bashir to ICC will be made by a popularly elected government and not the transitional military council,” he said.
