Oct. 29 (EUROPA PRESS) –
Thousands of people have demonstrated this Saturday in several cities in Sudan, including the capital, Khartoum, to criticize the “international interference” of the United Nations in the difficult negotiations after the coup in the African country.
On October 25, 2021, the leaders of an Army faction — which had the support of several armed groups — overthrew the transitional government established as a result of the agreement between the military and civil society forces after the fall of the former dictator. Omar Hassan al Bashir in April 2019.
However, the current military leaders, led by Abdelfatá al-Burhan, have announced a preliminary agreement to hand over power to a civilian government, but not without first obtaining guarantees about their future.
The protests have been repeated in the city of Kosti, in the south of the country, in response to the Call for Sudan initiative of the religious Sheikh Al Tayeb.
The cleric explained, in comments collected by the Al Intibaha portal, that these marches “aim to defend national sovereignty against the interference of foreign embassies” and the mediator assigned by the UN, the special representative Volker Perthes, one of the main objects of protesters’ anger.
