SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Reuters - Sudanese protest group says military 'not serious' about civilian handover

30/4/19: Reuters – Sudanese protest group says military ‘not serious’ about civilian handover, by Khalid Abdelaziz

 Reuters reports that Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA) spokesman Mohammed Naji Elasam told reporters in Khartoum that “what we feel from all the actions of the military council until now is that they are not serious about handing over power to civilians,” adding that “with the passing of time the powers of the military council are expanded and this is a very big danger for the Sudanese revolution.”

 The SPA leads an alliance of activists and opposition groups called the Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces (DFC). One of the DFC leaders, Khalid Omar said that “the military council has the chance to participate in the state that we are working on ... but might lead us to the risk of straying into something unpleasant.” Omar said that the sit-in will continue until the revolution’s goals are achieved.
