Live blog update| Sudan Protests

"The revolution continues"

"Important statement: the revolution continues," was the concise reaction issued by the Sudanese Doctors' Committee to news that while Bashir has been ousted, the military plans to take control of the country for the next two years. 

Translation: Before the statement: Just Fall. After the statement: Just Fall. 

Activists had been warning since the morning, in anticipation of the army's announcement, that they would only accept power being handed to a civilian government and many have reacted with anger to the televised statement by defence minister Awad Ahmad ibn Awf.

Translation: Down, down, military rule

Protesters have reacted by mocking the announcement and insisting their protests will now continue and many have also said they are waiting on the reaction from the Sudanese Professionals Association, who have led the protest organisation in Khartoum. 

Translation: They stole our joy
