A top official in Sudan’s military council has told the BBC it will not allow civilians a majority on the supreme council set to rule the country during a transitional period.
Lt Gen Salah Abdelkhalek said that the most they would accept would be an equal split with civilians.
Protesters are continuing their mass sit-in outside military HQ to demand that the army cede control.
President Omar al-Bashir was ousted from power on 11 April after 30 years.
He was replaced by a military transitional council that promised to relinquish power to civilians within two years – a proposal rejected by protesters.
Protest leaders accuse the military of not negotiating in good faith and promoting the interests of Mr Bashir.
The military leaders say that they need to be in charge to ensure order and security in the country.
