Sudanese security forces fired tear gas Tuesday as they confronted thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators in the capital Khartoum, an AFP correspondent said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Protesters chanted “No to military rule” as they marched towards the presidential palace, denouncing a coup last year led by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan that derailed a transition to civilian rule.<\/p>\n
Burhan seized power in October 2021 and arrested civilian leaders appointed following the 2019 ouster of long-time autocrat Omar al-Bashir, plunging Sudan into a political and economic crisis.<\/p>\n
“We will not stop until the military power is toppled and replaced with a civilian government,” said protester Hadia Mohammed.<\/p>\n
“We will not leave the streets until we achieve the goals of the revolution: liberty, peace and justice,” said Samer Omar, another activist, draped in a Sudanese flag and wearing a yellow helmet for protection.<\/p>\n
Eyewitnesses said thousands also demonstrated in the city of Wad Madani, south of Khartoum, and Gedaref in the east.<\/p>\n
Security forces have cracked down on near-weekly protests since the 2021 coup, resulting in at least 119 deaths, according to pro-democracy medics.<\/p>\n
Since the military power grab, activists have warned that several Bashir-era loyalists had been appointed to official positions, including in the judiciary, which is currently trying the former dictator.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Burhan’s pledge of elections next year is seen as far-fetched, and no civilian leaders have taken up the mantle of the army chief’s promised civilian government.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, experts said a surge in ethnic violence in recent months has highlighted a security breakdown in Sudan, with the United Nations reporting over 370 people killed in clashes and at least 210,000 forced from their homes this year.<\/p>\n
In Sudan, one of the world’s poorest countries, a third of the country’s 45 million inhabitants suffer from hunger, a 50 percent increase compared with 2021, according to the World Food Programme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
