Sudanese protesters keep up calls for a hand over to civilian rule in the wake of the ouster of longtime leader Omar al Bashir. Crowds aren't content with the sacking of top prosecutors by the country's new military administration. Also, in Algeria demonstrators calling for a more profound political shakeup as the head of the constitutional council bows out. And South Sudan continues to tread a rocky path to peace. The future remains unclear but refugees wishing to return home.
Sudan's military reinstated Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok on Sunday and promised to release all political detainees after weeks of deadly unrest triggered by a coup, although large crowds took to the streets to reject any deal involving the army.
Sudanese security forces detained three prominent pro-democracy figures overnight, their relatives and other activists said Wednesday, as internal and international pressure mounted on the country's military following its coup. FRANCE 24's Bastien Renouil reports from Khartoum.
Tonight: in a symbolic move, the head of Sudan’s army fires his deputy; better known as the man leading the paramilitary RSF forces. The Central African Republic remembers those killed during the country’s civil war and political instability.

Sudan's top general said Friday the military remains committed to a transition to civilian rule, in his first speech since brutal fighting between his forces and the country's powerful paramilitary began nearly a week ago.
