Thousands of Sudanese protesters took to the streets across the country on Thursday in a context of economic distress and a recent military coup.
Riot police fired on protesters and opened tear gas on protesters in Khartoum, social media posts showed.
The rallies are the latest in a series of protests since Sudan’s armed forces, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, staged a power grab on October 25, which was condemned by the international community.
As a result of the military coup that removed civilian leadership, the transition towards democracy already had been unstable following the April 2019 turnover of Sudan’s longtime leader Omar al-Bashir.
