“We are protesting today to recall the great days of the revolution and bring down the military rule,” Ahmed Ibrahim, a protester in a rally near the presidential palace in Khartoum, told Anadolu Agency. “We want full civilian rule in this country, we want to save our future and the future of our children,” he said. Ahead of Sunday’s protests, army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan reiterated commitment to democratic transition in Sudan. “We will continue with spirit and determination to complete the demands of the December revolution…with a view to building a civilian state,” he said in a televised speech. Hamdok, for his part, defended the political deal with the military and called for reconciliation and consensus in Sudan.
