Sudan's military leaders tell protesters to take down their road blocks in the country's capital, Khartoum
Protesters holding national flags shout slogans during a demonstration in front of the Defence Ministry in Khartoum, Sudan April 22, 2019.
The demonstrators have accused the ruling military council of being little different from veteran leader Omar al Bashir who was toppled by the army on April 11 following months of street protests.Protest leaders have vowed to intensify demonstrations that erupted in December, and neighbouring Egypt announced on Monday it will host an emergency summit of African leaders Tuesday on "the evolution of the situation" in Sudan.
He also stressed "Egypt's full and unconditional readiness to provide all means of support for Sudan".Protesters vowed to remain at the makeshift barricades they have set up on roads leading to the main protest camp outside army headquarters in Khartoum, to frisk people coming to the rally. "There’s no guarantee that the military council would provide security for the protesters," she said.The protest leaders had pledged to name members of a civilian body on Sunday to take over from the military council, but by nightfall, it was clear it would not happen.
On Sunday, Sudan's new military ruler General Abdel Fattah al Burhan insisted the army rulers were "committed to giving power to people," and pledged to respond to the demonstrators' demands within a week."We will carry on manning the checkpoints as usual," 23-year-old demonstrator Kawthar Hasaballah told AFP.The mood was upbeat on Monday at the rally site where a group of protesters chanted: "Burhan is dirt brought by the Kizan ".
"Some of the members of the military council have an agenda," the National Umma Party said in a statement.Bashir, who swept to power in a 1989 coup, was one of Africa's longest-serving presidents.On Sunday, the new army rulers said that cash worth more than $113 million had been seized from Bashir's home during a search.
