Sudan President Omar al-Bashir is believed to have stepped down amid nationwide protests contesting his leadership
Thousands of protesters have gathered at the army headquarters while the state media says the army would make an important announcement. The army has taken over the Statehouse premises and the protesters have surrounded Army headquarters.
The Sudanese professionals Association is playing a key role to keep the protesters to remain motivated. “We call on our people from across the Khartoum capital and the region around to immediately go to the sit-in area and not leave from there until our next statement is issued,” the Sudanese Professionals Association said.
Mr Bashir has ruled Sudan for 30 years, taking power in a 1989 coup.
The 75-year-old has reportedly handed over to the country’s supreme military council controlled by the armed forces.
News coming from Sudan claims that He will be flying to Saudi Arabia in an emergency manner.
It should be remembered that he is wanted on international charges of genocide for his role in directing violence against non-Arab minorities in Sudan’s Darfur region.
