SUDAN NEWS ALERT: AP - Sudan's military blames protest leaders for escalation
AP reports that Sudan’s ruling military “latest harsh words” - blaming Sudanese protest movement for an escalation – “reflected that the ruling generals are hardening their stance.”
As the Sudanese Professionals Association called the civil disobedience campaign, including closing up roads, Lt. Gen. Jamaleddine Omar, from the ruling military council, said late Sunday that by closing roads and setting up barricades, the protesters committed a crime, “as it deprives people from being able to go about their normal life.”
Omar blamed the protesters for “all the regrettable events” of the past days, saying that they “crossed the line of peaceful practices…and have become a major liability for the country and the people’s security.”
Omar added that the military and the RSF have beefed up their presence across Sudan “to restore life back to normal.”
