Protests against a rise in the cost of living began in December but soon developed into a wider call for the removal of Mr Bashir and his government. On Thursday the military removed and detained the veteran leader after nearly 30 years in power. The coup leader, Defence Minister Awad Ibn Auf, announced the military would oversee a two-year transitional period followed by elections and imposed a three-month state of emergency. But demonstrators vowed to stay in the streets regardless, demanding an immediate switch to civilian government. Mr Ibn Auf himself stood down the next day, as did the feared security chief Gen Salah Gosh. Lt Gen Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Burhan was then named as head of the transitional military council, to become Sudan's third leader in as many days. In a televised address on Saturday, Gen Burhan vowed to "uproot the regime", pledging to respect human rights, end a night curfew, release political prisoners immediately, dissolve all provincial governments, try those who had killed demonstrators and tackle corruption. But the Sudan Professionals Association (SPA), which has been spearheading the demonstrations, said the council's response "did not achieve any of the demands of the people" and urged protests to continue. Among its demands are the restructuring of state security, the arrest of "corrupt leaders" and the dissolution of militias that operated under former President Bashir. The whereabouts of Sudan's former leader is currently unknown, but the coup leaders said he was in a secure place. Mr Bashir has been indicted on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur by the International Criminal Court. But the military council has said it will not extradite him, although he could well be put on trial in Sudan. Mr Bashir's National Congress Party on Saturday called his overthrow unconstitutional, and demanded that the military council release the party's imprisoned members. Maj-Gen Shanto said that the former ruling party would have no part in the civilian transitional government but could field candidates in the next elections.

Omar Al Bashir... Bugün "pis bir Amerikan darbesi" ile yönetimden indirildi. Amerika artık bunu bir alışkanlık haline getirdi. Müslüman ülkelerde kiralık adamları aracılığıyla iş görüyor. Böylece o darbelere alet olanlar bir şey başardıklarını sanarken dışarıdan da Amerika suçlanan bir güç olmuyor. Oysa figürlere bakın. Adı ister Mısır, ister Libya, ister Irak ve isterse Sudan olsun, hepsi birbirine benziyor. Hatta son olarak Sudan'da kullandıkları bir kadın figürü bana Gezi parkı olaylarındaki "kırmızılı kadın" ı çağrıştırdı. Çok Şükür, Ülkemizde başarılı olamadılar. Ve olamayacaklar da inşaallah. Allah memleketimizi ve tüm dünyayı Büyük Şeytan Amerika'nın şerrinden korusun... #omaralbashir #ömerelbeşir #sudan #سودان #عمرالبشير (Konya, Turkey) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwHi0WUl_gG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1alphxx0pyzro
