Cairo (AP) — Sudanese security forces sit in an anti-coup, disperse protesters in the capital Khartoum, at least 11 injured, medical The group said on Tuesday. The crackdown took place shortly after the Sudanese military ruler promised to resign once the civilian government was formed.
Security forces used tear gas late Monday to demonstrators near Buri and Aljauda in the city, according to a Sudanese medical committee tracking victims of the protest. Some of the injured were hit by tear gas containers and other solids on their heads and elsewhere, the group tweeted.
Earlier that day, General Abdelfattabahan said in a television speech that the army withdrew from negotiations aimed at resolving the ongoing political crisis and left the army. He said he promised to dissolve. He led the Sovereignty Council after the formation of a new interim government.
The council has ruled the country since the military took power in last year's coup. Barhan's statement was unclear and he did not give a time frame for his own resignation.
He also blamed the October coup and power is at the top of the civilian government.
Sudanese democratic activists have sat in various parts of Khartoum, demanding that the general return to the barracks and give up power. The sit-in began the day after authorities implemented a brutal crackdown on the coup prevention march, killing nine people and injuring 629 on Thursday alone, according to medical groups.
Sudanese military officials have met almost weekly street protests since a coup d'etat with crackdowns that have killed 113 people, including 18 children.
Sudan has been in Sudan since the October 25 military takeover overturned the transition to short-term democracy after 30 years of oppressive rule by former influential man Omar al-Bashir. I'm in a mess. Albasir and his Muslim-backed government were dismissed by the military in the April 2019 mass uprising.
Since the coup, intergovernmental authorities of the United Nations Political Mission Development Group in eight countries in Sudan, the African Union, and the East African region have sought to mediate ways to get out of the political impasse. But negotiations have had no consequences so far. Democratic groups have repeatedly stated that they will not negotiate with the military and are calling on the civilian government to hand over the reins immediately.
