1/7/2020: Radio Dabanga - Mass response to Sudan’s 'March of the Millions'
Radio Dabanga’s report on the nationwide June 30 ‘March of the Millions’ identified state-specific grievances expressed, with protesters across Sudan united in calls for civilian rule, peace, retribution for the protestors killed during demonstrations, better living conditions, and dismantling the remnants of Omar al-Bashir’s regime.
In West Sudan, protesters in the capitals of the five Darfur states demanded just peace and disarmament of militias. In East Sudan, protesters in Gadarif, Kassala and Port Sudan called for the end of water shortages, whereas in the Northern State protesters demanded improved living conditions.
Protesters demanded the appointment of civilian governors and the formation of the Legislative Council in the Northern State and River Nile State.
Central Sudanese protesters in Sennar, Wad Madani and Kosti stressed that the goal of the marches is to correct the course of the revolution, and not to topple the government.
