Sudanese protesters vowed to remain steadfast in their sit-in throughout the holy fasting month of Ramadan, with the help of volunteers who have been preparing the iftar meal for the demonstrators.
For Kwanja Edward, stirring a massive pot of porridge on a roadside in central Khartoum to feed protesters camping outside Sudan's Defense Ministry is the best place to be during Ramadan.
Originally from South Sudan, the middle-aged nurse, who now lives in Khartoum's twin city of Omdurman on the opposite side of the Nile river, said she had made her way to the capital because she wanted to do “what is best” for Sudan.
Like the many thousands who converged on the ministry on April 6, eventually forcing veteran autocrat Omar al-Bashir to resign, Edward has defied searing heat of up to 47 degrees as she and other protesters push the Transitional Military Council (TMC) to hand power to civilians.
