Protesters plan to march across Sudan and on the presidential palace on Tuesday in the latest protest against military rule following last month’s coup.
Neighbourhood resistance committees called the protests despite an agreement last week that reinstated civilian Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and brought the release of most top politicians detained since the coup.
The October 25th takeover ended a partnership with civilian political groups since the topping of Omar al-Bashir in 2019 and drew condemnation from Western powers who have suspended aid.
The committees and political parties have rejected the deal, but Hamdok said it would bring the release of dozens of detainees, end a crackdown on protesters that has seen 42 people die, and preserve billions in foreign aid.
Wagdi Salih, the popular leader of a controversial anti-corruption task force, was released late on Monday night, according to his Twitter account and sources close to him.
