Sudanese protest and opposition leaders on Wednesday called for a campaign of civil disobedience in response to what one of them described as the military¡¯s ¡°disappointing¡± answer to their proposals for an interim government.

This could put the protesters and the ruling Transitional Military Council (TMC) on a collision course following weeks of wrangling over how to manage an interim period after the ousting of long-ruling President Omar al-Bashir from office.

¡°We call for and prepare for civil disobedience,¡± Madani Abbas Madani, a leader of the Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces (DFCF), told a news conference in Khartoum.
