KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudanese artist Rashid Drar used to work from home. Now the 44-year-old's canvas is any empty piece of wall he can find by a month-long sit-in outside the Defence Ministry in Khartoum.

Drar says it is his way of "being part of the revolution", a protest movement that brought down former President Omar al-Bashir on April 11 and is now pushing for the military council that replaced him to hand power to civilians.
