They want a transitional civilian government that would rule for four years.
The Canadian Press
The army has appointed a military council that it says will rule for two years or less while elections are being organized. The council met with a delegation of protest organizers on Saturday.Omer el-Digair, leader of the opposition Sudanese Congress Party, told the protests outside the military headquarters in Khartoum after Saturday’s meeting that the atmosphere was “positive.”
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates meanwhile issued statements in support of Sudan’s transitional military council. In separate statements issued late Saturday, Saudi Arabia and the UAE specifically expressed support for Sudan’s transitional council formed by the military. The UAE said it welcomed the swearing-in of Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan on Friday as head of that council.Burhan assumed leadership of the military council the day after al-Bashir’s ouster after protesters objected to its being led by Gen. Awad ibn Ouf, who was seen as being too close to al-Bashir.
