April 6 is a symbolic date for Sudan's civilian opposition -- the anniversary of uprisings in 1985 and 2019 that ended up ousting two leaders who had seized power in coups. US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Molly Phee said she called Daglo on Thursday "to underscore US support for the aspirations of the Sudanese people to move now to transfer power to a civilian-led government". "We won't lose hope, we will continue our revolution until we get a civilian and democratic state," 23-year-old protester Mohanad Ahmed told AFP in central Khartoum on Thursday
