Millions of Sudanese people went out to the streets, in response to the call of the Forces of the Freedom and Change (FFC), to denounce the death of protesters in El-Obeid (in the west of the country).
The Transitional Military Council (TMC) and the FFC have resumed negotiations on disputes, expecting to reach an agreement soon.
"Four protesters have been killed by live ammunition," the Central Committee for Sudan Doctors (CCSD) said in a statement. Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper knew that two others were wounded.
The FFC declared that there is an imminent agreement with the TMC, and that the joint legal committee has resolved most of the dispute topics including the dilemma of FFC representation in the sovereign council and the impurities of the members and president thereof.
“The agreement is really now just around the corner,” Satea al-Hajj, a leader in the FFC, said in a press conference in Khartoum on Thursday.
Hajj said both sides agreed on another key point, reaffirming that the parties included in the FFC would have 67 percent of the legislative council while the rest (33 percent) will be granted to other opposition and political groups.
"We cannot reach any agreement while ignoring the blood of martyrs," Prominent protest leader Madani Abbas Madani told reporters.
Ahead of the demonstrations, Madani said both marches and negotiations remain part of the protesters' toolkit to achieve their goals.
Further, an investigation committee affiliated with the TMC accused individuals of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of shooting the students and citizens. Lieutenant General Jamal Omar of TMC said that the authorities identified the committers and handed them to the prosecution.
