Published on July 6, 2019, Sudan's protest leaders have cancelled their civil disobedience campaign, citing an agreement with the ruling military council to form a joint ruling body.
According to prominent protest leaders Ahmed al-Rabie and Khalid Omar, the civil disobedience campaign had been cancelled to give room for the agreement to be implemented.
"It is to give room for the agreement" to be implemented, Rabie said.
The agreement, expected to be ready for signing by the two sides early next week, has postponed the formation of a 300-seat transitional parliament that had been agreed upon in previous talks.
Instead of a mass protest against the generals on July 13, the protest umbrella group has proposed gatherings on the same date as a "commemoration" for those killed in the June 3 pre-dawn raid on a protest camp in Khartoum.
At least 136 people have been killed since June 3, including more than 100 on that day itself, according to doctors close to the protest movement.
