Sudan protest group calls for strike amid transition stand-off via SABCNewsOnline
The two sides had been due to talk on Monday about the make-up of the proposed body, but the TMC focused the discussions instead on the future council’s functions and powers, two sources familiar with the discussions said.
The joint council would be the sovereign body overseeing a government of technocrats and a legislative council. Protesters have kept up pressure on the TMC through mass rallies and the sit-in outside the defense ministry compound, which began on April 6. “This is counter to reality and negates any agreement with the military council, and we affirm that we are maintaining our sit-in, and everything that the spokesman said is incorrect” the group said in a statement.
