SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: AFP - Sudan protesters reach full agreement with generals on civilian rule

3/8/19: AFP - Sudan protesters reach full agreement with generals on civilian rule, by Haitham El-Tabei and Abdelmoneim Abu Idris Ali

 AFP’s report on reactions on the Sudanese streets to the constitutional declaration that paves the way for a transition to civilian rule.

 Among the thousands of “jubilant” Sudanese took to the streets to celebrate was Gomaa Hussein, who said "we cannot keep protesting indefinitely. It was important to reach a middle ground between all factions.”

 Protester Somaiya Sadeq said “we have been waiting for a civilian state to seek fair retribution from the murderers of our sons.”

 However, others criticised the FFC negotiators for their compromises. Mohammed Yassine said that “it is unacceptable to forget the blood of the martyrs [who] drove us to this defining moment.”
