Kiongozi wa Mapinduzi, Jenerali Abdel Fattah al-Burhan amesema Jeshi litajiondoa katika mazungumzo ya Siasa yanayoendelea, na kuruhusu makundi ya Kisiasa na Kimapinduzi kuunda Serikali ya Mpito Tangu Mapinduzi ya Oktoba 2021, kumekuwa na maandamano ya kupinga Utawala wa Kijeshi takriban kila wiki na inaripotiwa Watu wapatao 113 wameuawa, miongoni mwao ni Watoto 18 ======== Sudan’s coup leader General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has said the army will make way for a civilian government, will withdraw from ongoing political talks and allow political and revolutionary groups to form a transitional government. Nine people have been killed and at least 629 injured by a security forces crackdown on the demonstrations, according to the Sudan’s Doctors Committee, which has tracked protest casualties. “The armed forces will not stand in the way” of democratic transition, al-Burhan said in a televised address, affirming the military’s commitment to working towards “elections in which the Sudanese people choose who will govern them”. The ruling sovereign council, led by al-Burhan and consisting of military and civilian members, will be dissolved after the formation of the new government, he said. A new Supreme Council of the Armed Forces will be created after the formation of the government and it will be responsible for security and defence tasks and “related responsibilities” in agreement with the government, the military leader said. The army’s withdrawal from political talks was aimed at allowing the political and revolutionary groups to form the technocrat government, he said. Al-Burhan called on the groups to start “an immediate and serious dialogue … that brings everyone back to the path of democratic transition”. The military will be committed to implementing the outcomes of the dialogue, he said, though he did not clarify how much of a political role the armed forces will have in the future. ‘Very clear about their demands’ Since the military seized power in October 2021, authorities have met the near-weekly street protests with deadly repression which has so far killed 113 people, including 18 children, according to monitors. Al Jazeera’s Hiba Morgan, reporting from the Sudanese capital Khartoum, said the protesters have been “very clear about their demands” which is they “don’t want the military to remain in power”. General al-Burhan’s statement is unlikely to appease those demonstrating against the military, Morgan said. “With the statement from the head of the army, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, it’s clear the army will remain in charge until political parties reach some sort of consensus to form a transitional government and set a deadline for elections,” Morgan said. “That doesn’t go down well with the protesters. They’ve been demanding, for seven months now, that they want to see the military removed before they see any form of negotiations happening between political parties to form a transitional government led by civilians,” she said. “When it comes to the political parties, they’ve been having issues reaching that consensus,” Morgan added. “And let’s not forget that on the day of the takeover, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said it was political differences between the parties that led the army to take over power and dissolve the transitional government that was meant to lead Sudan to democracy.” Source: Al Jazeera
