Sudan anti-coup protests
Sudans security forces attacked anti-coup protesters with tear gas and live rounds in the African countrys major cities, including the capital Khartoum.
Thousands of protesters filled the streets of the country's two major cities to express their strong opposition against the ruling military junta, demanding a transition to civilian rule. Protests are nothing new to Sudan where former leader Omar al-Bashir was deposed through a military coup in April 2019, after ruling over the country for three decades.
In August the same year, a transitional civilian-military administration was founded to run the country. However, Sudan's military chief staged a coup and dissolved the fragile government. Abdalla Hamdok, the then-prime minister, and other civilian leaders were all held in military detention.
Hamdok was later released and signed a power sharing deal with the junta. On Sunday though, Hamdok resigned, leaving the military fully in charge. He said Sudan was at a dangerous crossroads threatening its very survival.
