Demonstrators carrying Sudanese flags and photographs of detained regime officials, including Ahmed Harun and Ali Osman Taha, two former top al-Bashir aides, have rallied in Khartoum. A report on the News24 site notes that al-Bashir, who is on trial on corruption charges, was ousted by the military in April during a nationwide protest movement against his three decades in power. Several top officials of Bashir's regime have been detained along with him, but so far he is the only one on trial.
