Thousands of Sudanese demonstrated on Thursday in the Bahri district, north of the capital, Khartoum, against the coup that took place last year, according to an AFP correspondent.

The demonstration is the latest since the Commander of the Sudanese Army, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, seized power on October 25, 2021, and overthrew the civilian government that took over the reins of power following toppling the former president, Omar Al-Bashir, in 2019.

Thursday's protests, which were concentrated in the Bahri region, mark the anniversary of the November 17, 2021 protests, which witnessed the largest number of deaths in one day since the start of the protests.

The demonstrators chanted calling for the military to "go back to the barracks," while others chants targeted the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC), which shared power with the army after the fall of Al-Bashir.

The FFC is currently negotiating with the army a possible agreement to break the political stalemate, based on a new proposed draft.

The spokesperson for the Freedom and Change Forces announced on Wednesday during a press conference in the capital, Khartoum that they had reached a framework agreement with the military component in the country regarding a document for the transitional period.

"The issues that will be raised are: transitional justice, dismantling of the Al-Bashir regime, reform of the security sector, and revision of Juba Peace Agreement," the spokesperson said.

Last Thursday, the trilateral mechanism (United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS), the African Union and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD)) announced that "basic understandings" had been reached between the military and civilians.
