Shops, the bus station and the airport are closed for a second day.

The protestors, who’s action led to the military coup that ousted Omar Al Bashir last month, have threatened further strikes if the generals don’t yield to civilian rule.

They argue that the military brass is  not negotiating in good faith and is trying to shore up is  position by seeking support from neighbours and leaders in the Gulf.

For their part, the transitional council says the protestors are not interested in sharing power with the military that remains the most popular institution with Sudanese.
