While the opposition movement has insisted a quick transition to a civilian government, the Transitional Military Council has said the process may take up to two year
A Sudanese protester wearing a Guy Fawkes mask waves a national flag outside the Defence Ministry compound in Khartoum on April 24, 2019.Sudan’s opposition late on Wednesday accepted an invitation to talks with the ruling Transitional Military Council amid rising tension over how long it will take to move to civilian rule after the overthrow of autocrat Omar al-Bashir.
The TMC and the opposition umbrella group Forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change have appeared on a collision course in recent days over popular demands for democratization under civilian government. “The Transitional Military Council declares that the doors of dialog and negotiation are open,” the TMC said in a statement on Wednesday. The opposition movement, which includes protest organizers the Sudanese Professionals’ Association , said it would come to talks with the TMC.
On Tuesday, the SPA and witnesses said security forces tried to break up a protester sit-in outside Khartoum’s Defence Ministry. The group instead encouraged protesters to put up more barriers and continue their demonstration.
