Sudan's military has come under stinging international criticism for the violent attack on protesters in Khartoum.
At least 30 people are reported to have been killed in the violent protests.
The country's military leaders have said they will no longer honour any existing agreements with the main opposition coalition.
Elections in the country are expected within the next nine months.
