Sudan’s protest leaders (the DFC) launched a two-day general strike on Tuesday to press the transitional military council to hand over power to a civilian-led authority

 Most staff in the medical sector, electricity offices and employees at the central bank as well as commercial banks observed the strike, but other sectors were only partially affected.

Many shops remained open, buses were still transporting residents, and Khartoum airport was operating normally, according to sources.

DFC representative Wagdy Saleh threatened escalation, including calls for an open strike and indefinite civil disobedience until power is handed to civilians.
