19/12/2020: Radio Dabanga - March of Millions: Protestors call for revolution course correction
Radio Dabanga reports that thousands of Sudanese will take to the streets to celebrate the second anniversary of the 2018 December revolution and to demand the correction of the course of the revolution.
Several weeks earlier, the Sudanese Communist Party (SCP), which withdrew from the ruling coalition of the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC), launched a campaign for protests on December 19 to overthrow of the transitional government, remove the military from power and to restore the original Constitutional Document. The SCP was joined by the Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA) and a number of Resistance Committees in Khartoum.
However, the Sudanese Congress Party, the Unionist Gathering, the National Umma Party, and the Arab Socialist Baath Party announced their opposition to calls to bring down the transitional government, despite criticising its “weak” economic performance, which should now be “a top priority”.
