THOUSANDS took to the streets of Sudan again today as pressure continues to mount on the ruling military junta.

Mass demonstrations were held in the capital Khartoum and other cities as protesters vowed to continue their action “until we restore our revolution and our civilian government.”

Marches have continued in defiance of brutality by the authorities with a number of people shot dead in recent weeks along with mass rape and gang rape by security forces.

They are demanding an immediate transition to civilian rule after the military seized power in a coup on October 25.

Sudan was thrown into further turmoil with the resignation of Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok earlier this week.

He warned that the country was at “a dangerous crossroads” as he urged the military to relinquish power and for the development of a roadmap to democracy.

The Sudanese Communist Party said that the masses were “still occupying and holding the streets” with peaceful demonstrations continuing day after day.

It called for the continuation of mass protests “to defeat the dictatorship” and for unity among all progressive forces to continue the revolution until victory.
