The military overthrew al-Bashir on Thursday after nearly four months of protests calling for an end to his nearly 30-year rule. The protesters have said they will remain in the streets until a civilian transitional council is formed. They fear the military, which is dominated by al-Bashir loyalists, will rule indefinitely or hand power to one of its own. They reiterated their rejection of military rule. They attacked the sit-in on several occasions, up until al-Bashir’s resignation, and clashed with soldiers who intervened to protect the protesters.
