The organisers of the breaking of the fast included the Kandakat Wadi Howar, who prepared 1,000 platters of brightly coloured decorations and then distributed them to the protesters in front the headquarters of the armed forces in Khartoum.

The Mandola contains popular dishes such as porridge beverages, beans, tomatoes and salads.
