Khartoum: The security authorities in Sudan repelled demonstrations in the Khartoum State today, called for by the Central Resistance Committees in Sudan.

Additionally, the security authorities also beefed up their deployment and presence in a number of vital locations, including closing bridges and roads leading to the vicinity of the presidential palace and the headquarters of the General Command of the Armed Forces in central Khartoum.

The demonstrations came after a series of sit-ins carried out by the resistance committees in a number of places in Khartoum state which lasted for 10 days.

Moreover, the Sudanese authorities had announced strict measures, according to which the main bridges were closed in the state of Khartoum, and called for keeping demonstrations peaceful, and not to allow saboteurs to derail the demonstrations from their peaceful character as to avoid any loss of life and property.

Furthermore, the authorities affirmed their commitment to protect the demonstrations and to deal with them according to the law.

Since October 25, Sudan has witnessed continuous demonstrations rejecting the decisions by the President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council of Sudan to impose a state of emergency and dissolve the Sovereignty Councils and the cabinet, calling for the abolition of these decisions and their consequences, as well as putting Sudan back on the democratic path and enjoying a full civilian rule of the country.
