Background reading:

• When Sudan’s Air Force chief stepped out to address a crowd calling for the ouster of the president, the chief’s own son was among the protesters — a family split that mirrors broader tensions between the military and civilians.
• Mr. al-Bashir, who is under indictment by the International Criminal Court for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, was unseated amid sweeping demonstrations that began in December over the price of bread.
