Demonstrations in Sudan condemn the high prices and international intervention, and demand the departure of the Hamdok government

Demonstrations took place today, Wednesday, in the center of the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, and three other cities, to protest the living and health conditions and the high prices, and to demand the fall of the transitional government headed by Abdullah Hamdouk.

The demonstrators, some of whom carried banners and slogans bearing the name of the national powers to correct the course of the revolution, went to one of the entrances to the General Command of the army, but they were denied access to it.

The protesters marched about one kilometer until they reached the fringes of the General Command of the Army, which closed its roads with military vehicles and concrete barriers, chanting slogans such as "One people ... One army ... The people want to overthrow the regime, and fall only."

The demonstrators also rejected what they described as UN intervention in Sudan, as represented by the political mission requested by the transitional government.

The protest calls came from a new youth organization in Sudan called the United Popular Movement, which appeared in the façade last February and is led by Muammar Musa, one of the youths of the sit-in organized in front of the General Command headquarters of the army in Khartoum a year ago, and is being held by the authorities.

The demonstrators also carried banners of a new organization called "The National Forces Alliance", which consists of civil society organizations that include those who have been dismissed by the Decommissioning Empowerment Committee in the professional sectors, without the emergence of political parties.

Since August 2019, the country has been governed by a mixed civilian and military council and civilian government for a transitional period of 3 years.

Last Wednesday, the Security Council approved two resolutions, one of which stipulated the formation of a political mission in Sudan whose mission is to support the transitional phase, while the second stipulated the extension of the mission of the UNAMID peacekeeping force in Darfur, due to end on October 31, to December 31.
