Sudan’s ruling military council said on Saturday that a coalition of protest and opposition groups – the Declaration of Freedom and Change - would bear the responsibility for any loss of life or damage resulting from a protest march planned for Sunday 30th June.

The DFC coalition has called for a million people to take to the streets of the capital, Khartoum, to press its demands for the military council to cede power to civilians.

“We warn of the seriousness of the crisis our country is going through,” the council said in a statement carried by state news agency SUNA.

“We also hold the Forces for Freedom and Change fully responsible for any spirit that is lost in this march, or any damage or harm to citizens or state institutions,” it added.
