The BBC reports that Sudan’s military coup leaders have warned protesters still on the streets that there will be “zero tolerance” for disturbance. Lt-Gen Omar Zeinalabdin, who heads the political committee of Sudan’s transitional military council, insisted that the army does not seek power, but that it would maintain public order.

 Zeinalabdin said that Sudan’s future would be decided by the protestors, telling a news conference: “You, the people, will provide the solutions for all economic and political issues. We have come with no ideology, we have come here to maintain order and security to provide the opportunity for the people of Sudan to achieve the change they aspire to.”
