SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune - FFC-National Accord calls for dissolution of Sudan’s transitional cabinet
Sudan Tribune report that a splinter group of the Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) led Minni Minnawi, the leader of the armed Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM), which calls itself the ‘National Accord Group’, organised a demonstration in Khartoum.
Chanting “One people, one army”, demonstrators announced they would stage a sit-in until the dissolution of the civilian government.
In videos posted by activists, young demonstrators spoke about receiving money for their participation in the protests. Heads of Islamic schools are accused of being paid to send students to participate in demonstrations. The Human Rights Commission in Khartoum issued warned that the use of children in the demonstrations violates Sudanese laws and international treaties.
Osman Mirghani, editor-in-chief of al-Tayyar newspaper, said the demonstration is reminiscent of the practices of the former regime, which bribed people to participate in pro—regime protests.
