 The Commander of the Powerful Rapid Support Forces, General Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, is the number two man in Sudan's military. He has come out in support of last month's military takeover. In a midnight speech posted on Facebook, General Abdul Fatah al-Burhan's moves came to correct the cause of the people's revolution and preserve the security and stability of the country, said Dagalo, known as Hamedti. His comments come as Sudanese pro-democracy groups on Sunday launched two days of civil disobedience and strikes that was in protest against last month's military coup, although participation appeared to be limited by interruptions to internet and phone connections. Local resistance committees and Sudanese professional association are organising a campaign of protest and barricades to try to reverse the military coup.
