The Central Bank of Sudan announced that it was decided to freeze all bank accounts to several parties inside and outside the country.
These are: the Popular Defense Forces, the Popular Police Forces, the National Service Coordinators, the Martyr Organization, the Armed Forces Support Organization and Zadna International. The Bank's decision includes the accounts of these entities in Sudanese pounds and foreign exchange.
According to the Central Bank, the move came at the direction of the Transitional Military Council, as part of efforts to control the disposal of public funds, and restrict the movement of accounts of some entities and companies associated with the former regime.
The military council had already announced the inclusion of the Popular Defense and Popular Police of the regular forces. The dismantling of these forces - popular forces associated with the former regime - was one of the first demands of the forces of freedom and change to support the popular movement in Sudan.
The transitional military junta in Sudan also announced earlier that it had begun confiscating the headquarters and properties of the former ruling National Congress Party (NCP) in all parts of the country.
The Sudanese army had ousted former President Omar al-Bashir from the presidency after three decades of his rule, the impact of popular protests continued since the end of last year.
The army has set up a military council to manage a transitional period of two years, but the forces of the revolution and the opposition insist on handing over power quickly to the civilians, and thousands gather in front of the army headquarters in central Khartoum to pressure the military council to meet their demands.
