Sudan's Bashir to face questioning over 'financing terror' - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Sudan’s prosecutor general on Thursday ordered the questioning of deposed president Omar al-Bashir over money-laundering and “financing terrorism”, as protesters staged a vast rally in Khartoum to demand a civilian government.

Protesters gathered in even greater numbers than recent days, packing all the roads and bridges leading to the central Khartoum complex, AFP correspondents there said, as talks between protest leaders and the country’s military rulers remained deadlocked. Protest leaders from the Alliance for Freedom and Change want to replace that with a mixed body, but say the generals are not serious about handing power to civilians.

Those already filling the square Thursday kept up a festive atmosphere, with loudspeakers blaring out revolutionary songs and vendors selling fruits and peanuts. Hamdan, widely known as Himeidti, spoke of incidents since the protests first broke out in December including looting and burning of markets.The spokesman of the military council Shamseddin al-Kabbashi said the “armed forces must remain in the sovereign council” because of tensions in the country.“If the military council took the majority in the sovereign council, the rights of civilians would not be guaranteed at all,” said protester Hassan Rabeh, from the central town of Gadaref.
