The above video Sudanese Lawyers presents the stories of two lawyers who have been defending the rights of revolutionaries from the early days of the national protests to the present. They also discuss the trials they face with the government, police and military junta.
After four long months, the Sudanese people have overthrown Omar El Bashir. Despite the pundits and journalists trying to give credit to Bashir leaving office to the Sudanese military, it was the people who throw off El Bashir. Bashir, his brothers, the wanted Ghosh and the former Darfur governor Ahmed Haroun have been arrested by the military until further notice. Similar to Cairo in the aftermath of Hosni Mubarak's overthrow and later Morsi' overthrow, the ordinary Sudanese are remaining outside the national military HQ in Khartoum and continue to protests in Atbara (where the people's revolution began), Nyala, Darfur, Port Sudan, Kosti and other towns for a civilian government. Sudanese from across the country continue to arrive Khartoum, sit and protest in front of the national military headquarters until a civilian rule government is birthed into existence. The Sudanese Professional Association has been with protesters from the beginning and was instrumental in delivering a memorandum to the military junta. It is one of many groups that form part of the national Alliance for Freedom and Change hasn't given up on its demands. The SPA is itself an umbrella organization of trade union and workers groups. The people are fed up with the ancient regime and do not want any of the old abusive military guards or a new junta in power against the people. A popular Darfuri Sheik Matar Younis has also called for the removal of anyone who belonged to the old Bashir government. Sheik Younis who was arrested by NISS in Zalingei, Darfur on April 1, 2018 and later released in July 26, 2018, is an outspoken critic of El Bashir and the new military council. The Algerian people are also watching events in Sudan and have emphasized with the Sudanese protesters. Sudanese Civil Society has called on the African Union to put pressure on the military junta and give the power back to Sudanese people. The military junta has tried so far to discourage people by trying to break up the sit ins to no avail.

Still unfree and in imprison
Also remember that despite the revolution and people power in Khartoum and ongoing protests in Nyala by displaced Darfuris, and rural Sudanese also joining the protesters in Khartoum from various regions against the remaining militia groups, there are still thousands of Sudanese imprisoned across the country. Local Sudanese human rights groups have condemned the continual detention and torture of Darfuri and all Sudanese prisoners (both civilians and captured rebels), same goes for the people of the Nuba Mountains, students, doctors, lawyers, activists including those on hunger strikes and critics of former El Bashir regime. Darfuri students and families are protesting the ongoing detention of their fellow students and relatives that have been ignored as well as the ongoing abuse and mistreatment by NISS, Popular Defense Force militias around Sudan. |

Some of the members have been in week long discussions with the current military junta to transition as quickly as possible to a civilian rule government to avoid the Sisi military junta government in Egypt. The military has reiterated it prefers to keep its members on some positions in presidential house and overseeing Sudan's national security state and apparatus much to the annoyance to the civilians on the street. So far the alliance has compromise begrudgingly to have a transitional council made up of 8 civilians and 7 . Sudanese were watching and inspired by their northern neighbor Egypt throughout the 2011 and 2014 Egyptian Revolutions. Sudanese at home and abroad have also been monitoring the people protests in Algeria. The remaining Sudanese police have also begun striking since Sunday to protest their dismantle when the civilian government does come to power.
