4/6/19: Reuters – Sudanese opposition rejects military’s schedule for elections

 Reuters reports that Sudan’s opposition rejected on Tuesday a plan by military authorities to hold elections within nine months, a prominent opposition figure said, after the country’s worst day of violence since ex-president Omar al-Bashir was ousted in April.

 “We reject all that was stated in (Transitional Military Council Head Abdel Fattah) al-Burhan’s statement,” said Madani Abbas Madani, a leading figure in the Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces opposition alliance.

Madani said an open-ended civil disobedience campaign would continue to force the military council from power.
