Hundreds of Sudanese demonstrators have marched towards a well-known square in the capital of Khartoum to honour comrades killed in the protest movement, reports AFP news agency.
The protesters have been demonstrating since December, first to demand the long-term leader Omar al-Bashir stand down and then, when he was ousted, to demand the military hand over power to civilians.
On Wednesday the protest leaders signed a power-sharing agreement with the military leaders to pave the way for that to happen.
So the aim of this protest is a little different to previous ones.
“The rallies are a tribute to those honourable martyrs of the December revolution,” the Sudanese Professionals Association said in a statement.
“Civilian rule, Civilian rule,” and “Freedom, peace, justice,” the crowds chanted as they headed to the square, witnesses said.
On Friday protest leaders and military leaders are due to meet again to negotiate key details of how the transition period will be managed.
