Thousands of protesters gather outside Sudan army complex
Thousands of protesters massed outside Sudan's army complex in Khartoum on Friday, piling pressure on the country's new military rulers to swiftly transfer power to a civilian administration, witnesses said.
A military council which took power has so far resisted calls from protesters to quickly bring in a civilian adminstration. Activists mobilised demonstrators through social media to keep up the pressure for replacing the military council, now led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan."I won't leave until Burhan transfers power to a civilian government," said Wali Aldeen, who has camped outside the complex since the day Bashir was ousted.
Protests first broke out on December 19 in response to the tripling of bread prices, swiftly turning into nationwide rallies against Bashir's three-decade rule.
