Sudanese have protested over the military’s takeover, as they mark the third anniversary of a popular uprising.
It was gathered that thousands marched in the capital Khartoum, where security forces responded with tear gas. Demonstrations in 2019 led to the overthrow of Sudan’s long-term authoritarian President Omar al-Bashir.
Civilian and military leaders then entered an uneasy power-sharing agreement, until the coup in October.
It would be recalled that last month, the country’s overthrown Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok was reinstated, after being put under house arrest in the military takeover.
However, the move has failed to stop protests in the country, where demonstrators have been calling for an entirely civilian political leadership.
On Sunday, protesters marched towards the presidential palace in Khartoum, which is home to coup leader General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, chanting: “The people are stronger and retreat is impossible.”
They also called for Burhan’s “downfall”.
