SUDANESE groups have called for “marches of millions” on Saturday in opposition to last month’s military coup.
The Sudanese Professionals Association, which played a leading role in the mass movement that ousted authoritarian president Omar al-Bashir in 2019, urged the people to take to the streets.
Committees have been established across the country in opposition to the armed forces which seized power on October 25.
General strikes and civil disobedience have taken place across Sudan under the slogan: “No negotiations, no partnership, no legitimacy.”
Protests have been met with a violent response from Sudan’s military which has been joined by members of the notorious Rapid Support Forces — formerly known as the Janjaweed — as they patrol the streets of Khartoum.
More than 16 people have been killed and 140 injured during the clampdown, while thousands have been taken into custody.
The Sudanese Communist Party has called for “revolution until victory” and an immediate transition to civilian rule.
The party insists that a new economic programme is necessary free from the diktats of the World Bank and the International Monetary Foundation.
