Lieutenant General Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan, head of the Sudanese sovereign council, chaired a military and security meeting Friday evening that included leaders of the security services, in anticipation of the start of demonstrations in the capital Khartoum, in conjunction with the pronouncement of the sentence on the isolated President Omar al-Bashir.
A joint statement by the regular forces stated that Al-Burhan chaired a meeting at his office in the General Command that included a number of army and police leaders, and the meeting dealt with the security situation "and I am assured of its stability and calm conditions."
He pointed out that "the meeting secured the plans of the regular forces to secure the strategic and vital facilities during the Saturday procession, which was called for by Islamic parties and currents in the name of a million crawling green."
The leaders of the security and military apparatuses - in their meeting with the proof - appealed to the citizens to remain peaceful and to preserve public and private property, according to the statement.
A week ago, calls by Islamic parties and currents escalated to participate in a protest procession on Saturday to pressure the transitional government headed by Abdullah Hamduk to submit her resignation.
The reasons cited by these parties for participating in the protest varied, including protesting the government’s policies, which they said had “deviated from partisan conflicts and implementing a narrow political agenda hostile to Sudanese Islamic values and identity, as well as practicing isolation and exclusion.”
On Monday, the Bashir Defense Commission said it had deposited the court with its final pleading, before its decision was issued in a case of accusing the isolated person of corruption, scheduled for Saturday.
In the context, the army announced on Friday to raise the level of maximum preparedness, a day before the expected demonstrations in Khartoum, and the official page of the armed forces on Facebook published pictures of the deployment of military vehicles in the central area of the capital.
