KHARTOUM, 13 August 2022, (TON): Thousands of Sudanese protesters rallied against last year’s military coup and to demand civilian rule and better living conditions.
Demonstrators in downtown Khartoum shouted for the army to “go back to the barracks.”
Sudan has been reeling from political unrest, a spiralling economic crisis and a broad security breakdown since army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan led a coup last October 25.
Sudan’s latest putsch upended a transition to civilian rule launched after the 2019 ouster of strongman Omar al-Bashir, who ruled for three decades.
Thursday’s demonstrations saw protesters gather on a main street in Khartoum, where they also called for safety and security and free health care and education.
