The wide public response to a campaign of civil disobedience in protest against the October 25 military coup in Sudan continues in the capital Khartoum, as well as other cities in Sudan and abroad. It is impacting on all aspects of life and reports continue of deaths and injuries from live ammunition used army and paramilitary forces against demonstrators. The Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) have declared categorically that “there will no dialogue or negotiations with the putschists”.

Coup leader Burhan is not a pariah like Bashir, nor is he an Islamist. But he has tacit backing of Egypt, UAE and Saudi Arabia

A group of Sudanese bar associations, civil society organisations, and individual lawyers have presented a memorandum to Gen Abdelfattah El Burhan, Commander-in-Chief of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and former chairman of the now dissolved Sovereignty Council, calling on him to respect the stipulations of the Constitutional Document, signed by the then military junta and the Forces for Freedom and Change in August 2019.

Coup leader Burhan is not a pariah like Bashir, nor is he an Islamist. But he has tacit backing of Egypt, UAE and Saudi Arabia.

The military coup and the dissolving of Hamdok’s Cabinet could then mean starting the process from zero.

Civil disobedience actions and road blocks in protest against the military coup on October 25 continued for the fourth day yesterday. Reportedly 11 protesters were killed and 150 others were injured since Monday. Most of the bridges in Khartoum reopened. The internet in the country remained inaccessible. According to the African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS), two rebel leaders may be involved in the coup.

On Saturday, October 30, Sudanese will come in their hundreds of thousands to protest against the naked power grab by Sudan's generals, led by Abdul Fatah Al-Burhan, which saw them overthrow the country's civilian government on October 25.
