Tibor Nagy, the US assistant secretary of state for African affairs, plans to meet both members of the military leadership and protest leaders in Khartoum. The protest leaders, by their actions, have “crossed the line of peaceful practices … and have become a major liability for the country and the people’s security,” he said. According to the protest leaders, participation in the strike on the first day exceeded their hopes. Security forces on Sunday removed barricades from main roads and ended the sit-in area outside the military’s headquarters. “The solution is to get life paralysed,” the protest leaders said.
