An announcement by the Sudanese army is now expected, suggesting that the 30-year term of President Omar al-Bashir will end.
Tens of thousands of people have been organizing a protest vigil outside the army headquarters since Saturday to demand the sacking of the president.
Two nights in a row, they were attacked by the intelligence services and the militias who were loyal to it – and in both cases, the army intervened to protect them.
It was an early sign of a fracture in a security institution that had never been stronger.
A respected Sudanese journalist says he understands that a meeting of top Sudanese army and security officials is under way to determine who will lead the new Higher Armed Forces Transitional Council.
Things are far from over if that is the case. The forces of Gosh and Hemidti are the main perpetrators of deadly violence against protesters since the beginning of the revolution in early December.
