Sudan’s TMC arrests 21 Bashir-era officials in Darfur

Sudanese army yesterday said it had arrested 21 members of the country’s National Democratic Alliance (NDA) party in South Darfur. 

NDA was led by Sudan’s ousted president Omar Al-Bashir.

The governor of South Darfur, Hashim Khalid, told Sudan News Agency (SUNA) that arrested individuals included “women,” adding that some “were arrested while they were leaving the country.”
“The arrests of the Bashir-era figures are still continuing,” Khalid pointed out.

Last week, the Sudanese authorities ordered senior officials and employees of the country’s former federal government to “evacuate all the state residencies.”

On 11 April, Sudan’s army announced the “removal” of Bashir following months of popular protests against his 30-year rule. A Military Transitional Council (MTC) is now overseeing a two-year “transitional phase” during which it has pledged to hold free presidential elections.

Demonstrators, however, have remained on the streets to demand that the MTC hand over power to allow a civilian-led Transitional government.
Africa Union and the United Nations supported the protesters' demand for a civilian-led transition government as the MTC are also all part of the Bashir regime era. The Military transitional council has refused the protesters demand. 

Currently difficult negotiations are taking place between the Transitional Military Council and the Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces about the details of the transitional phase.
