"No changes"

Sudanese protesters have been thronging the streets of Khartoum and elsewhere in the country in protest against what they see as the replacement of Bashir with another establishment figure.

“This is actually nothing as there are no changes in faces, symbols and even policies,” Amged Ali, a protester in Khartoum, told MEE. 

Protesters in the capital blocked and jumped on top of a military official's car, making known their anger at the military coup by the army, who said they would take charge of the country for a two-year "transitional period."

Only hours earlier the mood had completely different, with thousands celebrating with soldiers in the streets as news filtered out about Bashir's exit. 

One 55-year-old mother of a protester killed during the anti-Bashir movement, which began in December, said she wants justice for the killed. 

“If we want this revolution to succeed and reach its great goals we need to impose a transparent system of justice and accountability.”
