Hundreds of protesters arrived on a train in Khartoum on Tuesday to join a sit-in outside the army headquarters maintaining pressure on the military council to meet their demands.
The protesters insist they will continue pushing for the military council to hand over power to a civilian government following the removal of Omar al-Bashir.
The train came from the central Sudanese town of Atbara where the demonstrations first broke out in December.
The demonstrations in Atbara grew into nationwide protests against Bashir’s administration and finally resulted in his removal by the army on April 11.
Crowds of supporters welcomed the protesters, who sat on the train’s roof chanting “freedom, peace, justice”, as the procession halted outside the army headquarters in central Khartoum.
The military council had ordered protesters to remove barricades placed on the roads leading to the protest site to allow food and petroleum supplies to flow and the movement to become normal
However, protesters pledged stand their ground at the barricades. Protest leaders also suspended talks with the military council accusing it of being part of the administration put in place by Bashir.
Despite this, the head of Sudan’s military transitional council, Lt-Gen Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Burhan, told the BBC that force would not be used against the protesters.
