“The only way is either through comprehensive national consensus or elections, but not by calls for protests and sabotage,” Al-Burhan said on Wednesday during his inspection of special military units in the capital Khartoum, according to a statement by the Sovereign Council.

The Sudanese leader called for exercising the right of expression through peaceful demonstrations that preserve public and private property and do not harm the interests of other citizens, Xinhua news agency reported.

Khartoum and other Sudanese cities are expected to see mass protests demanding civilian rule on Thursday.

A tripartite mechanism of the UN, African Union and the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development is tasked with facilitating intra-Sudanese dialogue to end the country’s political crisis.

The African country has since been witnessing protests demanding a return to civilian rule.
