New protests have erupted in Sudan to demand full civilian rule, amid UN-mediated talks to restore the country’s transition to democracy.
Hundreds of protesters marched on the presidential palace in the capital, Khartoum, amid calls against the army. They opposed UN mediation to resolve the country’s political crisis, describing it as an attempt to save the military.
“The Sudanese can solve their own problems. “This initiative by the UN envoy is aimed at rescuing army generals and enabling them to obtain immunity from justice for the ongoing killings of protesters,” Abdul Rahim told AA, a Khartoum protester.
Last week, seven protesters were killed in anti-military protests in crisis-stricken Sudan.
Earlier this month, the UN mission in Sudan launched UN-mediated talks between military and political groups in a bid to restore the country’s transition.
“We will not sit down with the military at the initiative of the UN or any other forum. “The army must immediately hand over power to the civilians,” said Mona Hussein, another protester in Khartoum.
Sudan has been in turmoil since October 25, 2021, when the military ousted the caretaker government of Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok and declared a state of emergency.
Prior to taking power in the military, Sudan was governed by a sovereign council of military and civilian officials tasked with overseeing the transition period until the 2023 elections.
Hamdok was reinstated on November 21 after an agreement was reached, but protesters denounced the deal insisting on removing any military influence over the transitional ruling coalition. He resigned on January 2, citing a “political stalemate.”
