“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.”

“It seems that al-Burhan [Abdel Fattah al-Burhan] is trying to build a national consensus without getting any member close to Hamdok [Abdalla Hamdok]. These exclusions reflect how negotiations between the army and the Hamdok have failed terribly. This will have complications because the streets are demanding Hamdok to be back and the international community is putting pressure on al-Burhan to restore a civilian government and take Hamdok as its prime minister.”

“Burhan [Abdel Fattah al-Burhan] said the talks are under way with political parties and figures including the ousted prime minister Abdalla Hamdok [regarding] reaching a consensus to forming a government. He said he hopes to reach a deal within the next 24 hours, despite several obstacles.”

“It is our pledge - a pledge we made to ourselves, the Sudanese people and the international community - that we are committed to completing the democratic transition, holding elections on time, and committed to not stopping any political activity as long as it is peaceful, and within the bounds of the constitutional declaration and the parts that have not been suspended. We are committed to handing over power to a civilian government of national competency and we pledge to preserve the transition from any interference that can hinder it. The Sudanese army does not kill citizens, and there are investigation committees to reveal what happened.”

“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.”

“We organised a silent stand against the decisions by al-Burhan [Abdel Fattah al-Burhan] outside the ministry of education. Police later came and fired tear gas at us though we were simply standing on the streets and carrying banners.”

“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.”

“We truly need to prepare the atmosphere and de-escalate matters so that we can sit at the table. But clearly, the military faction is continuing with its plan and there are no efforts to show goodwill. In these initial stages, we hope that they [international community] continue strong pressure. This pressure has to be more than just tweets. This pressure needs to have mechanisms that could create real pressure on the military component.”

“The US has quite a considerable leverage because of the very deep economic-financial hole that Sudan is. Other countries might have been able to get by on the bailout of the Gulf states, but in the case of Sudan, it can only actually stabilise its economy with major assistance, debt rescheduling, debt relief, assistance from the World Bank and the IMF, which requires the United States.”

“The four ministers are only some of those arrested on the morning of the coup. There were also activists and lawyers arrested. But the release comes amid talks to form a new government and as Hamdok [Abdalla Hamdok], who remains under house arrest, insists on the release of detainees.”

“The two parties agreed on the need to maintain the path of the democratic transition, the need to complete the structures of the transitional government and to speed up the formation of the government.”

“This has been a miscalculation from the start and misunderstanding of the level of commitment, bravery, and concern the street has about the future of Sudan.”

“We will not be ruled by the military. That is the message we will convey at the protests. The military forces are bloody and unjust and we are anticipating what is about to happen on the streets. But we are no longer afraid.”

“The Burhan-Hemeti [Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Mohamed Hamdan Daglo] dynamic is weird. They are mutually treacherous. The Egyptians favour Burhan due to his training in Cairo. The rich, ruthless desert warrior Hemeti is more to Saudi and Emirati tastes. He delivered the mercenaries for the war in Yemen, and made more money out of it.”

“Hemeti [Mohamed Hamdan Daglo] and his brothers have been very quiet. This is not by accident and is in line with what happened in 2019. Then, too, Hemeti waited until he saw how things were progressing and in the end he was the one to arrest Omar Hassan al-Bashir. Before that, he and his troops were effectively security for Bashir's National Congress Party, their insurance policy against any coup attempt.”

“The United States continues to stand with Sudan's people in their nonviolent struggle for democracy. Sudan's security forces must respect human rights; any violence against peaceful demonstrators is unacceptable.”

“Together, our message to Sudan's military authorities is overwhelming and clear: the Sudanese people must be allowed to protest peacefully and the civilian-led transitional government must be restored. The events of recent days are a grave setback, but the United States will continue to stand with the people of Sudan and their non-violent struggle.”

“They (The Sudanese military) misunderstand the will on the street quite to their detriment. I think they are badly advised by regional powers supportive on this and uneasy by the prospect of transition.”

“My appeal is for - especially the big powers - to come together for the unity of the Security Council in order to make sure that there is effective deterrence in relation to this epidemic of coup d'éetats. We have seen that effective deterrence today is not in place.”

“They haven't learned their lesson. As we saw post the revolution and post-Bashir [Omar Hassan al-Bashir], the streets were determined and civilians were willing to die for this.”

“Usually when there's a coup, most people stay home. The fact thousands of Sudanese protesters have taken to the streets instead should signal to the generals that they're taking a dangerous, reckless gamble.”

“For many Sudanese, the digital blackout will evoke painful memories and a sense of fear that hard-won freedoms can be easily lost.”

“The coup in Sudan is unlikely to pass off smoothly. Memories of the corruption, repression and general misrule in the al-Bashir [Omar Hassan al-Bashir] years are too fresh in the minds of many Sudanese for them to accede without resistance to a return to the old order.”

“He [Abdalla Hamdok] is in my own residence. We had feared for his life. That's why we took him to safe custody. He was not kidnapped. He was not assaulted or tortured.”

“Yes, we arrested ministers and politicians, but not all of them. The whole country was deadlocked due to political rivalries. The experience during the past two years has proven that the participation of political forces in the transitional period is flawed and stirs up strife. Of the slew of senior government officials detained in Monday's coup, some tried to incite a rebellion within the armed forces. They would face trial. Others who are found innocent would be freed.”

“The military has dishonoured its agreement with the civilian government by detaining the prime minister and several cabinet ministers. The Sudanese people don't know if they are safe or not.”

“We have started our path towards the state of freedom and peace but some political powers are still trying to maintain everything in their hands, without giving attention to political, economic and social threats. The Armed Forces will continue completing the democratic transition until the handover of the country's leadership to a civilian, elected government.”

“Today's military coup in Sudan is an unacceptable betrayal of the Sudanese people and their democratic transition. Security forces must release PM Hamdok [Abdalla Hamdok] and other civilian leaders, and those who do not respect right to protest without fear of violence will be held to account.”

“There are no problems that cannot be resolved without dialogue. It is important to respect all decisions and agreements that were decided upon … refraining from any measures that would disrupt the transitional period and shake stability in Sudan.”
