A cautious calm descended on the Sudanese capital Khartoum on Sunday, after the massive October 30 Marches of Millions<\/a> in which an unprecedented number of people participated. Government institutions, banks, shops, schools, and universities continued to be closed for the seventh day yesterday in protest against the military coup<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sources told Radio Dabanga that most of the main roads in Khartoum are still closed with barricades – which are put up again as soon as they are removed by the armed forces. Central Khartoum in particular is witnessing very limited movement, with most of the shops closed.<\/p>\n

Not many vehicles were seen in Khartoum, and people are forced to reach their destination on foot. The sources further noted that many streets were free of any military presence.<\/p>\n
