21/4/19: Sudan Tribune - Sudan military tell African Union they want to facilitate change, as SPA says it is civilians’ job

Sudan’s Transitional Military Council (TMC) told the head of African Union Commission they want to create a conducive environment for democratic change in Sudan, while the Sudan Professionals Association stressed the need to undertake this job by qualified civilians.

The Sudanese military say they seized power in response to the calls by the Sudanese people to join them to protect their revolution. However, the Declaration for Freedom and Change forces reject that the army takes a leading role during this period, stating they should participate as a partner in the transitional period institutions.

Many opposition groups that led the protests also suspect that TMC’s political committee chief Omar Zain Al Abdin is an Islamist.
