Sudanese demonstrators have vowed to keep up campaign for civilian rule. On Friday, thousands of them performed weekly Muslim prayers outside army headquarters in Khartoum, continuing their sit-in to demand the military rulers cede power. Following increasing pressure from protesters, Bashir was dismissed on April 11 by the army after nearly 30 years of undivided rule and a Transitional Military Council took power for two years. But the demonstrators are now demanding the transfer of power to a civilian administration. Led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhane, the Military Council has so far resisted calls to cede power, including from the international community.
