After the great victory of Omar Al Bashir ouster, now the Sudanese protest leaders have announced plans to unveil a civilian body to take over from the ruling military council.
Protesters braved scorching heat and fatigue for a 14th day on Friday, demanding the military council, which took power after overthrowing longtime leader Omar Al-Bashir, quickly make way for a civilian administration.
“We are demanding that this civilian council, which will have representatives of the army, replace the military council,” Ahmed al-Rabia, a leader of the umbrella group of unions for doctors, engineers, and teachers, told reporters.
The SPA and other groups behind the protests said the new transitional government should be made up of a presidential council tasked with carrying out the functions of the state, a council of ministers and a transitional civil statutory council.
A blueprint for the transition, proposed by the protest organizers, envisage a presidential council made up of “revolutionary figures” and a defense minister, the only representative from the military.
It also said women should make up 40 percent of the legislative council.
