THE Sudanese Communist Party called for the overthrow of the country’s transitional government yesterday as thousands rallied in Khartoum and other cities.
Protesters demanded an immediate transfer of power to a civilian government, accusing the military of derailing the transition to democracy.
The party said the armed forces, which dominate the joint civilian-military administration, were moving away from the goals of the revolution which ousted former president Omar al-Bashir in 2019.
The transitional government, led by Abdalla Hamdok, was also accused of dragging its heels over the prosecution of those responsible for killing protesters during the 2019 popular uprising.
The party said the government was implementing economic reforms at the behest of the International Monetary Fund which are inflicting poverty on the Sudanese people.
It called for a new approach, including “daily work” to overthrow the government and speed up the transfer to democracy.
“The revolution does not beg for its rights and democracy is protected by improving the lives of the people,” the party said, urging supporters to take to the streets and join the struggle.
