Sudan's main pro-democracy coalition said loyalists of former strongman Mr Bashir, who was ousted in a coup in 2019, were fuelling a rift between the armed forces and a powerful paramilitary group that has jeopardised a transition to civilian government.

In recent months, Hemedti has said the 2021 coup was a "mistake" that failed to bring about change in Sudan and reinvigorated remnants of Mr Bashir's regime.
