Tensions escalated Monday after talks broke down between Sudanese protesters and the country's military rulers amid indications the army could move in to break up the demonstration in the capital, Khartoum.
The protesters, who have been rallying outside the military headquarters in Khartoum, have demanded a swift handover of power to civilian rule after the military earlier this month ousted autocratic President Omar al-Bashir after four months of street protests against his 30-year rule.
Qurashi Diefallah, a protester, said they're disappointed because the army is "just an extension of the regime which stole 30 years from us." "The military council is delaying its response to our proposals, saying that they are considering proposals from all political forces," he said.
