Another ‘march of millions’ protest against the military government in Sudan is expected in Khartoum on Monday.

The new US Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa, David Satterfield, will begin a visit to Saudi Arabia on Monday.

He and Assistant Secretary of State Molly Phee will also travel to Sudan and Ethiopia between January 17-20.

In Riyadh, on Monday they are expected to meet with the Friends of Sudan, a group calling for the restoration of the country’s transitional government following the military coup in October.

The meeting aims to “marshal international support” for the UN mission to “facilitate a renewed civilian-led transition to democracy” in Sudan, according to the statement from the State Department.

In Sudan Satterfield and Phee will meet with pro-democracy activists, women’s and youth groups, civil organizations, and military and political figures.
