Sovereign Council member Aisha Musa has resigned in protest against the killing of two youth by soldiers in the vicinity of the army headquarters.

Consequently, the Alliance of Civil Society Forces (ACSF) in Sudan praised her decision, considering it an expression of the rejection of "all forms of killing and oppression that our people are facing by the transitional power structures."

The ACSF further called for the resignation of all the FFC members from the Sovereign Council, alongside requesting that Prime Minister Hamdok dismisses the heads of the relevant security and executive agencies, amend the existing legislation and adopt a new law for the security apparatus that protects public freedoms.
