Khartoum: A key protest group Saturday announced a nationwide "civil disobedience" campaign and said it would run until Sudan's ruling generals transfer power to a civilian government.

"The civil disobedience movement will begin Sunday and end only when a civilian government announces itself in power on state television," said the Sudanese Professionals Association which initiated protests that ousted longtime president Omar al-Bashir in April.
