The deputy head of the military council, Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, meanwhile said late Saturday that security forces have arrested those behind an attack on the protesters last week that killed at least five people, including an army officer.

Ever since the military overthrew President Omar al-Bashir last month ending his 30-year reign, talks are still underway with the protestors after they spent four months of mass protests and sit-ins.

The two sides remain divided on what role the military should have in the transition to civilian rule.
