For the first time in 30 years, the Sudanese people begin their daily activities without feeling the impact of President Omar al-Bashir, while the protests gained momentum and gained new military support, while the West offered serious demands to the new rulers in Khartoum.

The JCC's political committee stressed that the army would not dictate its decisions to the rebels, but to remove Bashir to meet the aspirations of the people and to arrange for the peaceful transfer of power.

A spokesman for the committee told a news conference that the new rulers are sons of the gold bracelet and that they came out of their love for Sudan.

He refers to the symbolism of the gold-plated Marshal who led the coup against Jaafar Nimeiri in 1985 and handed over power to an elected civilian government.

For his part, the commander of the rapid support forces, Mohammed Hamdan Hamidati, aligned to the Sudanese street in his demands to transfer power to a transitional government.

Hamidati said in a press release issued on Friday that his forces reject any solutions that do not satisfy the Sudanese people. He called on "the gathering of Sudanese professionals" and heads of different parties and youth leaders to open dialogue and negotiation to reach solutions that satisfy the Sudanese street and avoid the country sliding into chaos.

The Sudanese Defense Minister Awad bin Auf announced Thursday that the army overthrew Bashir and kept him and detained him in a safe place, after months of protests demanding the overthrow of the regime.

Externally, the United States and five European countries on the Security Council called for a meeting of the Council to discuss developments in the situation in Sudan.

Diplomats said the United States, Germany, France, Britain, Poland and Belgium had called for a closed session to discuss the situation in Sudan after the ouster of President Omar al-Bashir and his arrest.

The Deputy British Ambassador to the United Nations that these countries are concerned about developments in Sudan, including the closure of airports and airspace and a one-month curfew.

A much faster transition was needed than the two-year plan proposed by the Sudanese army, he said.

For its part, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for an investigation into the use of force against protesters since last December.
Earlier, the United States called on the Sudanese army to form a "university" government of civilians.

"The United States continues to call on the transitional authorities to exercise restraint and to allow civilian participation in the government," said State Department spokesman Robert Paladino.

"The Sudanese people have clearly said they want a civilian-led transition," he said. "This should happen" much sooner than two years.
