The call came as thousands of demonstrators remain camped outside army headquarters in central Khartoum, vowing to force the generals to cede power.
KHARTOUM - Sudan’s military rulers have invited protest leaders for a new round of talks on transferring power to a civilian administration, the protest movement said on Saturday.
Talks on the protesters’ key demand for a civilian-led body to oversee a four-year transition have been deadlocked for days, with the military insisting on holding a majority in any new ruling body. Late in April, the alliance, which brings together protest organisers and opposition and rebel groups, handed the generals its proposals for a civilian-led transition.They have singled out its silence on the constitutional position of Islamic sharia law which was the guiding principle of all legislation under Bashir’s rule but is anathema to secular groups like the Sudanese Communist Party and some rebel factions in the alliance.
