In the wake of the deadliest day of anti-coup mobilization since the October 25 coup, the new military government has taken a step towards conciliation. Telephone communications were restored on Wednesday night and the Internet was reconnected in the afternoon. After nearly 65 years of military rule in Sudan, activists are calling for a civilian government. On October 25, General Burhane reshuffled the deck in a transition that had been shaky for months. The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that the world would be able to support Sudan again if "the army gets the train (of the transition) back on track".
