It raises the slogan of correction .. Demonstrations in several Sudanese cities

KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Demonstrations began on Monday in several Sudanese cities as part of millions of events to correct the course of the revolution in memory of the first popular uprising against Sudan's military regime in 1964.

According to the Anatolia news agency, marches took place in different parts of the Sudanese capital Khartoum, the city of Abyad, capital of North Kordofan (central), and the city of Atbara in the state of the Nile River (north), where demonstrators carried banners and chanted slogans demanding justice.

Troops blocked off major roads in central Khartoum leading to the headquarters of the General Command to traffic and pedestrians before the rallies.

Today's demonstrations date from October 21, 1964, when the government of General Ibrahim Abboud was toppled, marking the anniversary of the first popular uprising against Sudan's military regime.

Military forces deployed in front of the Sudanese army headquarters in Khartoum, and bridges witnessed traffic jams after the closure of the central military area in central Khartoum.

Speech and contrast
Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdouk will address the Sudanese people at 7 pm on Monday to mark the 55th anniversary of the glorious October Revolution, state news agency SUNA reported.

Calls from political parties and activists to commemorate the 21st of October ranged from organizing them in public squares to the headquarters of the Council of Ministers, or to the Sudanese army headquarters.

On Sunday, the forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change in Sudan organized marches and celebrations in Khartoum state in support of the transitional government and demanding the implementation of the demands of the revolution.

On the other hand, other parties and forces, including the Communist Party, called for a million protests in Khartoum to correct the revolution.

On August 21, Sudan began a 39-month transitional phase, ending with elections in which power-sharing would be held by the military (dissolved) council and the forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change, the leader of the SPLM.

The Sudanese hope that the agreement on the transitional period will end the unrest in their country since the army leadership on April 11 to remove al-Bashir from the presidency (1989-2019) under the weight of popular protests condemning the deterioration of economic conditions.
