Chanting"Sudan is rising, the army is rising," crowds of men and women massed outside the complex that also houses Bashir's official residence and the defence ministry, many of them having spent the night there.
Chanting "Sudan is rising, the army is rising," crowds of men and women massed outside the complex that also houses Bashir's official residence and the defence ministry, many of them having spent the night there, witnesses said. Chanting the movement's catchcry "freedom, peace, justice", thousands of men and women marched through the streets of the capital Saturday, reaching the fortified army complex for the first time since anti-government protests first broke out.
"We call on our people from areas near Khartoum to join those who are at the army headquarters," the organisers said in a statement. Outside the army complex, protesters sang nationalist songs, whistling and clapping as they pressed on with the rally. Bashir has acknowledged that the economic concerns raised by protesters are "legitimate", but he imposed emergency rule on February 22 after an initial crackdown failed to rein in the protests.But with Saturday's rally analysts say the protest movement has gained new momentum.
