Mass anti-coup protests in Sudan mark uprising anniversary

Hundreds of 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.

Last month, the country’s ousted Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok was reinstated, after being put under house arrest in the military takeover but the move has failed to stop protests in the country, where demonstrators have been calling for an entirely civilian political leadership.
