A senior leader of the Sudanese Professionals' Association, the main anti-government protest organiser, called on Tuesday for demonstrators to continue a sit-in outside the defence ministry compound in Khartoum. In remarks to Reuters, he also said that his group wants a civilian transitional government and would not negotiate with the administration of President Omar al-Bashir.
