SUDAN NEWS ALERT: AP – Sudan protesters threaten military with civil disobedience
AP reports that Sudan’s protesters threatened to launch a civil disobedience campaign to pressure the ruling military to hand power to a civilian transitional government after their two-day strike failed to produce tangible results.
“It is unacceptable that the military council hijacks the revolution and blocks attempts to hold accountable criminals of the old regime,” said Saddiq Farouk, a leader of the Sudanese Professional Association, which has been spearheading the protests.
Farouk added that the two-day strike was successful, telling reporters “the message is clear: all the Sudanese people want a civilian government.”
