The Sudanese capital, Khartoum, turned into a military barracks after the army tightened control over its periphery and its bridges and bridges, and cleared its center of all activities 48 hours before the June 30 million.
And joint forces suddenly carried out raids and searches with police dogs for furnished apartments and hotel lodges in the center of Khartoum and the Khartoum neighborhood "2" in the early hours of Sunday morning, which resulted in the taking of a number of people to unknown destinations.
On Saturday, Khartoum State police had warned the owners of the hotel inns not to receive new guests and evacuate existing guests by tomorrow, Monday.
Formations of the army forces deployed on the soldiers' carriers heavily since Sunday morning, and the roads leading to the army general command and the presidential palace were closed in the center of Khartoum, as well as a complete closure of the bridges linking the capital Khartoum with the cities of Omdurman and Khartoum North.
The Khartoum State Security Committee had issued a circular saying that a complete closure of Khartoum will take place on Sunday and Monday, but the authorities implemented this plan a day ago with the banks closed for 3 days, and the non-feeding of ATMs on Tuesday.
Coordinated protests
The measures that the army itself supervised came in the middle of Khartoum in isolation from the Rapid Support Forces, in light of the growing fears of the one million called by the resistance committees on Tuesday to commemorate the June 30 million anniversary of the sit-in in front of the army leadership.
However, it is noteworthy that elements affiliated with the former regime also promoted participation in a million after tomorrow, Tuesday, which led to a state of confusion and fears of insecurity.
A minister in the transitional government was forced to evacuate an apartment in a building in the Khartoum neighborhood, "No. 2", after the building was suspiciously crowded, as he narrated, to be surprised that the building itself was raided by the security authorities, and some elements were taken from it.
According to partisan sources, the army's actions in a proactive manner to the Khartoum State Security Committee measures intended to hit the zero hour for demonstrations of employees of the former regime were scheduled for Sunday in central Khartoum.
The same sources reported to Al-Jazeera Net that a demonstration in the middle of Khartoum - which was thwarted - was part of coordinated protests that took place in the city of Gedaref in eastern Sudan and Kosti in the south of the country, and in a limited manner in the suburb of Fitaihab, Omdurman.
Coup d'etat, as the
army deployed forces to the Khartoum State outlets, they were pleased with the eagerness to prepare the forces for an attack from outside the capital, or to prepare to foil a coup.
But Lieutenant-Colonel Staff of Dr. Muhammad Khalil Al-Saim - a professor in international relations - ruled out any direction for any group within the armed forces to be involved in a military coup.
The fasting person told Al Jazeera Net that the army is now ascetic in power, and there is no sane officer thinking about the coup against the transitional government, and he attributed the deployment of the army forces on the borders of Khartoum State to control the crossings.
He pointed out that there is no need for the army to take all these security measures against the supporters of the ousted President Omar al-Bashir's regime because they are too weak to implement against them such measures that crippled life in the center of the capital.
It is noteworthy that officers in the rank of brigade began in the early hours of Sunday morning to close 6 bridges on the Blue and White Niles linking the cities of Khartoum, Bahri and Omdurman with Khartoum.
The center of Khartoum appeared to be free of traffic, except for military vehicles and some cars of officers and medical personnel who were allowed to move in light of the Corona pandemic.
Million proofs
On the other hand, the propaganda work continued for the gathering of professionals, freedom and change forces and resistance committees in preparation for the June 30 million, where several neighborhoods witnessed "proof" to join the processions.
According to the leader of the Communist Party and the forces of freedom and change, Siddik Youssef, the millionth will start on Tuesday morning in the cities of Khartoum State, without there being a central procession in the center of Khartoum, in line with the health measures to combat Corona.
The calls for millions caused a split in the Alliance of Freedom and Change, as the parties affiliated with the Sudan Appeal Alliance opposed it, most notably the Sudanese Congress Party and the National Nation, while the Communist Party and the Federal Assembly supported it.
Proponents of the revolution are waiting for the new secretariat to bring together professionals to collect maps that show the paths of the millionth processions within hours.
It is also noteworthy that supporters of the call for a million next Tuesday supported it from different starting points, for example the Federal Assembly sees it as required to complete the structures of the transitional authority, while the Communist Party supports it to achieve justice for the martyrs of the December revolution.
A decisive battle, and
despite the fact that the National Congress Party announced by its chief executive, Ibrahim Ghandour, in the middle of this month, that the party’s membership will not be withdrawn to participate in the millionth of Tuesday, people affiliated with the former regime have been invited to participate in it.
In his article, the head of the Sudanese Journalists Union, Suleq al-Ruzaiqi, on June 30th, considered a separation battle between two secular and real parties that defend religion.
This day is considered a feast for the Bashir regime, which came to power through a military coup on June 30, 1989, but supporters of the revolution that toppled it see it as a remembrance of the June 30 million anniversary that brought the soul back to the revolution after the sit-in was broken.
Adel Khalaf Allah, a leader in the Forces for Freedom and Change and spokesperson for the Baath Arab Socialist Party, accused employees of the previous regime of trying to incite the army to take power.
"They are trying to repeat the scenario of a coup in 1989 when they paved the way for it to attack and ridicule the elected government and lament the army’s situation," Khalaf Allah told Al Jazeera Net.
But he returned and stressed that the preemptive measures taken had blocked the way for "conspirators" over the democratic transition and the will of the people.
