Sudan’s Forces for Freedom and Change on Wednesday called on the transitional military council to stop whitewashing graffiti seen as a symbol of months of civilian protests which saw the ouster of Omar al-Bashir and a path to civilian rule created.
A statement by the protest leaders accused the military authorities of trying to suppress the beauty, the letter and the spirit of the revolution.
The statement added that the measure showed the inability of people opposed to the revolution to recognise its roots and its realisation in people’s hearts.
Several murals and graffiti are on walls outside of the army headquarters in Khartoum, an area where protesters have previously staged their sit-ins for weeks.
Some of the murals and slogans on the walls in Khartoum during the infancy of the protest against al-Bashir have been painted over.
Earlier this month the military council and opposition coalition representatives signed a constitutional declaration paving the way for a transitional government.
Sudan’s sovereign council is expected to be sworn in on Monday and will appoint a prime minister based on a nomination from the Forces of Freedom and Change.
