AT LEAST one protester was shot dead during mass demonstrations marking the third anniversary of the Sudanese revolution that forced out dictator Omar al-Bashir, the Sudan Doctors Committee said today.
Tens of thousands took to the streets of Khartoum and other cities yesterday to demand the military relinquish power and opposing the US-negotiated power-sharing deal that returned civilian PM Abdalla Hamdok to office, but alongside the military officers who seized power in October.
Security forces attacked demonstrators staging a mass sit-in in front of the presidential palace on the banks of the Blue Nile. The Health Ministry said over 120 people were wounded.
