Russia and Sudan announced their intention to boost cooperation in various political and military fields.
Deputy Chairman of the Sovereign Council Mohamed Hamdan 'Hemedti' Dagalo, met in Moscow with the Russian Deputy Defense Minister, General Alexander Movin, and discussed bilateral relations and ways to promote them.
The Sudanese News Agency said the two sides stressed the need to intensify cooperation and activate the ministerial committees. They called for holding bilateral meetings soon.
Hemedti praised the distinguished relations between the two countries and the coordination at all levels.
He pointed out that the great reception of the delegation and the meetings confirm Russia's interest in Khartoum, noting that Sudan has great potential, which can represent an excellent opportunity for Russian investments.
Movin lauded the distinguished historical friendship with Sudan, declaring a commitment to strengthening prospects for cooperation and increasing joint coordination.
He stressed that his country deals with Sudan following the principles of non-interference in countries' internal affairs.
Meanwhile, Sudanese mothers and fathers joined the protests led by the youth calling for the return of civilian rule.
Thousands of mothers and fathers, primarily elderly, marched in Khartoum and other cities in massive protests against the excessive violence used by the security services to suppress the popular movement.
They gathered in al-Siteen Street, east of Khartoum, under the slogan "We Support You" in support of the demonstrations led by young men and women for months against the measures announced by the army on October 25.
Families of the victims also participated in the protests, carrying the picture of their children killed by the security forces.
The protests were led by top leaders of the Forces of Freedom and Change alliance and other parties, notably the deputy head of the National Umma Party Sarah Naqdallah, the head of the Sudanese Congress Party Omar al-Digair, and the leader of the Communist Party, Mohammad Mukhtar al-Khatib, along with dozens of poets, writers, and artists.
Over 100 women's organizations and union bodies against the regime also joined the protests of the mothers and fathers.
The resistance committees in Khartoum are scheduled to announce Sunday the charter for establishing the people's authority to restore democracy.
The committees said in a press circular that the charter is proposed to establish the people's authority. They held extensive consultations and discussions to overcome the obstacles.
They delayed announcing the charter for further adjustments and revisions, aiming to publish it to the public in the best way possible.
