Sudan's demonstrators reinforced their barriers outside the army headquarters in Khartoum on Tuesday, after the two sides disagreed talks Monday on the number of transitional council seats for civilians and military representatives.
Both sides are at odds over its formation, the military pushing for a 10 member council including seven military representatives and three civilians.
The joint council would be an overall ruling body according to protest leaders, who want a separate transitional civilian administration to run the country's affairs and work towards elections.

Noteworthly, the disagreements prompted the ''Alliance for Freedom and Change'' to announce a million-strong march on May 2 to assert main demand, which is for ''civilian rule".
Meanwhile, the protesters have called the military council headed by Burhan a copy cat of the toppled regime. They want a majority of civilians on a 15-member joint council along with seven military representatives.

Mohamed Naji El Assam, a leader from the Sudanese Professionals Association, who spearheading the protest movement reported that the military council is not serious about handing over power to civilians.
On other hand, the protesters have won supporting voices from Western governments for their demands. But Sudan's key Gulf Arab donors have backed the military council, while African states have called for more time for the army to hand power to civilians.
