This afternoon on Friday, dozens of Sudanese demonstrated in the Canadian capital Ottawa in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarters and handed a memo to the ministry's delegate, Mrs. Mary Helen Cote, urging the Canadian government not to recognize any coup government that may be formed.

The memo called on the Canadian government to stand with the Sudanese people in their quest for freedom, peace, and democracy, and to condemn the excessive violence practiced by the coup authority against peaceful demonstrators in Sudan.

The Canadian Foreign Ministry had strongly condemned last Monday the unconstitutional seizure of government by the army in Sudan, describing the coup as unacceptable and contrary to the will of the Sudanese people, and called on the army to step down, respect the provisions of democratic transition, and restore the transitional process.

Tomorrow, Saturday, October 30, demonstrations and protest stands rejecting the military coup will continue in Ottawa, coinciding with hundreds of marches and demonstrations inside and outside Sudan.

It is noted that these stands were called for and organized by Sudanese, including the media secretary of the Justice and Equality Movement in Canada, Abdel Karim Ali Bashir, who participated in organizing the demonstration rejecting the coup while he did not announce his withdrawal from the Justice and Equality Movement, which supports the military coup.
