Sudanese protesters want a civilian transition government and that hasn’t happened.

The military has announced a transitional period of up to two years followed by elections, but demonstrators are pushing for a quick handover of power to civilians.Bashir was one of the longest-serving leaders in Africa and the Arab world.
Despite Bashir's close ties to the military's top leadership, mid- and lower-ranking officers more connected to society sympathised with the protesters' demands, said Hamid Eltigani, a Sudanese professor of public policy at the American University in Cairo. He survived just 24 hours, stepping down late on Friday. Salah Abdallah Mohamed Saleh, better known as Salah Gosh, resigned as the head of the National Intelligence and Security Service the following day.
Bashir came to power in an Islamist-backed coup. He belonged to the Islamic Movement, Sudan's equivalent of the Muslim Brotherhood, and imposed Sharia law.The UAE, a leading member of the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen, was quick to welcome Burhan's appointment and said it would look to accelerate aid to Sudan. Shortly after Burhan's nomination, Saudi Arabia said it would provide wheat, fuel and medicine to Sudan.
The influence of their regional rivals Qatar and Turkey, which both had ties to Bashir, will be limited, said the Sudanese military officer."It was a tug of war, and right now UAE and Saudi won," he said.
