After continuing into the early hours of Monday, the ruling military council announced the talks would resume at 9:00 pm (1900 GMT). The protest leaders have so far remained silent on whether sharia has a place in Sudan's future, arguing that their main concern is installing a civilian administration. Initially, the protesters gathered to demand Bashir resign -- but they have stayed put, to pressure the generals into stepping aside. The protesters had also erected roadblocks on some avenues in Khartoum to put further pressure on the generals during negotiations, but the military rulers demanded that they be removed. The generals have allowed protesters to maintain their sit-in outside army headquarters.
