“We have another Al Bashir in Sudan”
Protesters in Sudan have been defying the new military rulers by demonstrating in the streets of the capital Khartoum, despite a night time curfew. State television announced that the defence minister, General Awad Ibn Ouf, would chair a governing military council. The organisers of the demonstrations described it as a cloned administration. One man who has struggled against the deposed leader Omar Al Bashir for years is the veteran opposition politician Farouk Abu Issa. Newsday’s James Copnall asked if he felt the latest events represented a real change in Sudan.
