SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Independent - Sudan demonstrations vow to take protesters to Europe and US: ‘This is our last chance’,
Bel Trew reports that protesters in Sudan vowed to take their rallies to embassies across Europe, as hundreds of thousands marched in Khartoum and other parts of Sudan to demand the military hand over power to civilians.
Women’s rights activist Waem Shawgi said that the protests both in Sudan and abroad were “the last chance” they had to ensure a transition to civilian government.
Mohamed Abubakr, a Sudanese activist and president of the Washington-based African Middle Eastern Leadership Project said protests were planned this week at the Egyptian, Saudi and Emirati embassies in Washington and cities across Europe, against the military’s “interference” in the transitional process. Abubakr said there was concern about Gulf support for the military council’s deputy chief Himedti.
