Tens of thousands of civilians continue to defy the temporary military rule extension. The public insistence on defying the military transitional rule is already having its toll on the Military Council, forcing leadership changes and just this week the resignation of three senior council members. There is no question that the professional conduct of the military and the protesting public in Sudan has hugely helped in maintaining the country's peace and sovereignty. The protesters are demanding the reinstatement of a civilian rule. In Sudan, when the public said no more Bashir, the army refused to be forced to help keep the general in power.
