Sudan’s transitional military council has arrested members of the former government and promised not to disperse protesters.
The Military Council Spokesman Major General Shams Ad-din Shanto also urged the opposition to pick the next Prime Minister and vowed to implement their choice.
Months of protests in Sudan led to the ouster and arrest of long-time leader Omar al-Bashir.
Demonstrators have vowed to stay on the streets until there is an immediate move to civilian rule. A sit-in is continuing outside the defence ministry in the capital Khartoum.
The Spokesman said the military council is ready to implement whatever civilian government the opposition parties agreed. He added the army would not remove protesters from their sit-in by force, but called on protesters “to let normal life resume” and stop unauthorized roadblocks.
