Adding to the deepening discord, the military council said six security personnel were killed in clashes with protesters across the country on Monday. "The military council insists that the (joint) council should be military led with civilian representation," Assam said, adding the army had been seeking to "expand its powers daily". The spokesman of the military council, Lieutenant General Shamseddin al-Kabbashi, said the "armed forces must remain in the sovereign council" because of tensions facing the country. Five days later, the army took power through a transitional military council, having deposed Bashir. But a new round of talks with the military council to iron out their differences has yet to be decided.
