The October 21st processions come in the midst of the worst wave of civil violence in recent months, in several areas in the Blue Nile region and the city of Lagawa in West Kordofan, which have claimed hundreds of lives and displaced thousands so far.
While civil strife is raging due to the spread of weapons, the ruling military authority has not shown any in intervening.
The coup authority practiced routine work on Thursday casually, while the Ministry of Interior seemed indifferent to what was going on.
