The protes­ters have insist­ed civili­an repres­entati­ves must join the milita­ry counci­lKHARTOUM: Sudanese protesters on Sunday demanded the country’s military rulers “immediately” hand power over to a civilian government that should then bring ousted leader Omar al-Bashir to justice. The military council later held a press conference at which its spokesman did not respond to the protesters’ latest demands. Earlier the military council met with political parties and urged them to agree on an “independent figure” to be prime minister, an AFP correspondent present at the meeting said. The protesters have insisted civilian representatives must join the military council. The foreign ministry urged the international community to back the military council “to achieve the Sudanese goal of democratic transition”.
