KHARTOUM - Sudanese protesters moved to block an attempt on Monday to break up a sit-in outside the Defense Ministry, where demonstrators have been pushing for a quick transition to civilian rule after President Omar al-Bashir was ousted, a Reuters witness said.
Some drummed and waved national flags as they mingled in the street, while others took shelter from the sun under parasols and makeshift tents. The sit-in outside the compound, which also includes the intelligence headquarters and the presidential residence, began on April 6, after more than three months of protests triggered by a deepening economic crisis.
The SPA has demanded the immediate handover of power to a civilian transitional government as well as the prosecution of former officials.
