Millions of people across two of Africa's largest countries have toppled their country's strongmen. But will people power be enough to break the military’s grip and push back foreign meddling? What have protesters learned from the 2011 Arab uprisings?

In Sudan, protestors vow to remain in the streets until the military hands over the country's political transition to a civilian government. This follows the ouster of President Omar al-Bashir who spent 30 years in power and is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.

And in Algeria, mass protests continue with people calling for the downfall of "Le Pouvoir" or the establishment, weeks after they pushed out the ailing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika whose rule lasted two decades. Several prominent figures around the president, including his brother, have since been arrested.
