Civil society groups in Sudan have called for a two-day strike and rejected internationally backed efforts for talks with the military over a power-sharing arrangement. Sudan's pro-democracy movement has announced a two-day nationwide civil disobedience campaign starting Sunday. The call for strikes came as efforts to resolve the political crisis in the African nation after the October 25 military coup reached a standstill. "No negotiation, no partnership, no legitimacy," they said on social media, calling for "complete civil disobedience" on Sunday and Monday. On October 25, the Sudanese military seized power by dissolving the transitional government and arresting Cabinet ministers.
