The source told Reuters that Abiy would meet members of Sudan's Transitional Military Council and the opposition's Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces (DFCF) during his one-day visit. On Monday, security forces moved in to disperse the weeks-long rally outside the army headquarters. The protesters blamed the bloody crackdown on the "militias" of the military council. The armed forces also issued a statement urging citizens to stay away from military sites, without giving a reason. African and Western governments have been strongly supportive of the protesters but Arab governments, led by Saudi Arabia, have backed the military rulers.
