Sudan's protest leaders, the Declaration of Freedom and Change (DFC) coalition, have called for a two-day general strike starting Tuesday amid deadlock in talks with the military on installing civilian rule.

"There is no longer any alternative to using the weapon of a general strike," the DFC umbrella group said in a statement Friday.

It said the strike, affecting "public and private institutions and companies", would be accompanied by civil disobedience and was "an act of peaceful resistance with which we have been forced to proceed".
