Sudanese protesters block roads in Khartoum to demand civilian rule
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AA) – Sudanese protesters on Tuesday blocked main roads in the capital Khartoum, demanding full civilian rule.
“Khartoum witnessed an almost complete closure of roads with cement barriers, tree trunks, and burning tires,” an eyewitness told Anadolu Agency.
Sudanese authorities deployed extra forces in the capital in an attempt to reopen roads, witnesses said.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors said 73 demonstrators were injured in protests demanding civilian rule on Monday in Khartoum and the eastern Qadarif state.
Sudan has been in turmoil since Oct. 25, 2021, when the military dismissed Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok’s transitional government and declared a state of emergency, in a move decried by political groups as a “military coup.”
