Sudan Crisis: Protesters to Resume Talks with Ruling Generals

By Staff, Agencies

Sudan’s protest leaders agreed to end their civil disobedience campaign launched after a crackdown on demonstrators and resume talks with Sudan's ruling generals, an Ethiopian mediator said Tuesday.

"The Alliance for Freedom and Change agreed to end the civil disobedience [campaign] from today," Mahmoud Drir, who has been mediating since a visit by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed last week, told reporters.

"Both sides have also agreed to resume talks soon" on a handover of power to a civilian administration, he added.

The protest movement itself said in a statement that it was calling on people "to resume work from Wednesday."
