Sudanese police have fired tear gas canisters in an attempt to disperse thousands of protesters in Khartoum on Monday. The assembled crowd had rallied to protests against the military coup carried out by the President of the so-called Sudanese Sovereign Council months ago, according to AFP.
The agency stated that “the police fired tear gas and coloured water canisters to disperse the demonstrators, about 500 meters from the presidential palace in the center of the capital, injuring some.”
Thousands of Sudanese opposing the military coup went out in the center of the capital and its neighbouring cities, Bahri and Omdurman, to demand the return of civilian rule and the trial of those responsible for the killing of protesters, according to the French agency.
