Whistling and waving Sudanese flags, dozens of demonstrators were sitting on a bridge at the site, banging stones against metal in rhythmical beats.leaders are expected to unveil on Sunday a civilian council that they want to take power from the army rulers, who have resisted calls to step down despite mass demonstrations.
On Saturday protest leaders and the military rulers held talks about a power handover and agreed to continue discussions. But another senior leader of the movement told AFP on Saturday that it was possible it would be delayed. “All we hope for is to be ruled by civilians and get rid of the military rule,” said protester Ehsan Abdallah.
“If they are not ready with the names, it will send a negative signal, and this will not be to the benefit of the revolution,” said Tijani, editor of economic weekly Elaff.
