Protesters Rally For Civilian Rule In Sudan
Protestors marched toward the Presidential Palace in Sudan’s capital Khartoum on Sunday to demand full civilian rule in the country.
Thousands gathered chanting slogans against the military and calling for accountability for demonstrators killed by security forces.
Seventy-nine people have been killed in protests against the military takeover in Sudan, according to local medics.
The northeastern African nation has been in turmoil since Oct. 25 last year.
That was when the military dismissed Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok’s transitional government and declared a state of emergency.
Sudan was previously governed by a sovereign council of military and civilian officials tasked with overseeing the transition period until elections in 2023.
