Thousands of Sudanese pro-democracy protesters remained defiant of the country's military rulers Tuesday, a day after security forces violently cleared away their main sit-in site in the capital. Protest organizers say 35 people died in the crackdown.
Using burning tires and pieces of pavement, Sudanese protesters close a street outside Khartoum's army headquarters on Monday.
"We have no choice but to continue our protests and civil disobedience until the fall of the military council," said Mohammed Yousef Mustafa, a spokesman for the Sudanese Professionals Assn., which has spearheaded the protests. The military announced it would begin Wednesday. But protest leaders said astronomers at Khartoum University had determined that Tuesday was the first day of the holiday and called on supporters to come out to"pray for the martyrs."
A written version of his televised speech released in a statement said elections would be held within seven months. However, in the broadcast he said elections would be within nine months. The different timelines could not immediately be reconciled.
