Tens of thousands of demonstrators in several cities in Sudan have demanded the dissolution of the transitional government and faster democratic reforms.
The protesters are demanding the resignation of both the president of the Sovereign Council, Army General Abdel Fattah Burhan, and the commander of a special rapid response military unit, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
It was time for the military to leave the government, they said.
There have been ongoing protests in Sudan since last week.
Prime Minister Abdullah Hamduk convened a crisis committee to resolve what he said was the most dangerous political crisis the country has faced since the fall of dictator Omar al-Bashir in 2019.
The protesters accuse the transitional government of not carrying out democratic reforms and are frustrated by deteriorating economic conditions and growing poverty.
Sudan was ruled with an iron fist by al-Bashir for almost 30 years.
He was forced out of office in April 2019 by months of mass protests and eventually a military coup.
The military and the civilian opposition then agreed on a transitional government to pave the way for elections within three years.
