The Sudanese pro-democracy protesters demonstrated against an October 25 coup launched by military leader General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, shouting "power to the people" and demanding a return of the "military to the barracks".
About thousands
of Sudanese pro-democracy protesters rallied Sunday outside the presidential
palace in Khartoum, braving tear gas, a mass deployment of armed soldiers and a
telecommunications blackout.
As with
previous demonstrations, which have become regular since the coup, the
authorities have erected roadblocks, with shipping containers blocking Nile
River bridges between the capital and outlying areas.
Internet
and cell phones have not worked since the morning and security forces were
perched on armoured vehicles with heavy machine guns watching passers-by.
