 The resignations came after the Sudanese Professionals’ Association, the main protest organiser, demanded that three be dismissed and tried over their alleged role in a crackdown that killed dozens of protesters.

 The Sudanese Professionals Association had said that Zain Al Abideen was the head of al-Bashir’s party within the military and was “trying to bring back the deposed regime.”
