“Monday's statement by the Khartoum police in which they stated they used minimum legal force … has angered the protesters even more. [On Monday,] there was the use of live ammunition in Khartoum, something that has rarely happened over the last two months or so. Protesters say they will continue to organise for civil disobedience and they will continue to organise for more protests despite the number of deaths.”

“His [Abdalla Hamdok] removal, as far as [protesters] are concerned, removes the last fig leaf that was covering this regime and what remains is a full-fledged military dictatorship.”

“Not all the bridges are closed today, and the internet was not cut off. So far, the protest seems calm, but the pattern is that during the last hours of the afternoon, that's when [security forces] fire bullets … and crowds get bigger and bigger.”

“The November 21 deal lacked public support, apparent in the continuation of the protests against him [Abdalla Hamdok] and his inability to appoint any ministers. It meant that no one wanted to share this pact with him. In their [protesters'] view, all he did was legitimise the coup. Hamdok was like a fig leaf.”

“Since the October 25 military coup, there have been repeated miscalculations by the military both in terms of the power and perseverance of the protest movement. There have been more and more draconian efforts [by the military], essentially undermining whatever is left of the transition at every stage.”

“In the vicinity of the palace there are clashes between the protesters and the security forces. The numbers are smaller today than on Saturday because of the heavy security arrangements including closing the bridges and doubling or tripling the number of security forces and they are using whatever amount of teargas.”

“Hundreds of people… are unable to reach central Khartoum because roads are completely closed off and there is heavy presence of security forces and police. We are expecting another wave [of protests] from the south of Khartoum because that is the only area directly connected with the area where the presidential palace is located.”

“A majority of them have been forced to retreat following a heavy amount of tear gas that has been fired by security forces. The military who guard the presidential palace have also used live ammunition, according to protesters who ran away from the southern gates of the presidential palace. But protesters are still gathering on the road leading to the palace. Many of them are not far from the front gate. They say they're here to voice their demands and show the military that they want a civilian rule and no amount of tear gas or live ammunition will take them away from their demands. The protesters are saying the revolution is incomplete because the military is still in power. They are saying the military should go back to the barracks and that power should be handed to a civilian government. Many of them are saying they are not satisfied with the way the revolution has been going on over the past two years.”

“In the interest of the people and of the protesters, the global community must not support this government in any way. Any aid that comes to this government will just support the coup. It won't benefit the people.”

“I would like to appeal for common sense. We have a situation which is, yes, not perfect, but which could allow for a transition to democracy. I think that calling into question this particular solution even if I do understand why people are outraged … would be very dangerous for Sudan.”

“People are still angry. They say the fact that Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok agreed to negotiate and sign a deal with the military is a betrayal.”

“The Sudanese people are not going to settle for a military dictatorship. Al-Burhan is basically trying to save his skin, he's implicated in a lot of crimes within Sudan, as well as Hemeti [Mohamed Hamdan Daglo]. These guys are wanting to evade accountability.”

“We're not surprised by the people's turnout because this is what's been happening since October 25. This is the voice of the Sudanese people refusing al-Burhan [Abdel Fattah al-Burhan], refusing the military coup and refusing his council, and deeming this entire partnership invalid and totally refused by everybody. Unfortunately and as usually, these peaceful protests on the ground are being faced with tear gas, are being faced with gunshots. The number of protesters is increasing. Protesters are setting up barricades to try and protect themselves from the trucks and the vehicles of the joint forces that are facing the protesters.”

“There are concerns that there will be violence because of the spread of security forces, not just on the main bridges around the capital but also on the main streets. Activists and protesters have put out a list of hospitals where they say people should head out to should there be violence.”

“They say that they want to see the army return to its barracks and have no role in governing the country and its politics. Mediation efforts to try to bridge the gap between Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and the civilian coalition on the one side, and the army on the other side, are yet to produce any results.”

“The SPA [Sudanese Professionals Association] had called on civilians on Saturday evening to set up barricades in neighbourhoods and on main streets to encourage people, and to also reduce the number of people who would go to work on Sunday and Monday. The protesters keep saying that they don't want negotiations with the army. The army says they are not going to return back to October 24 when there was a civilian transitional government, rather they want to look ahead and form a new government. They say even if Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok does not lead that transitional government, they will appoint a new prime minister and appoint a new cabinet to lead the country until elections in July 2023.”
