Protester shot dead as tens of thousands rally for the revolution in Khartoum
Marchers in Khartoum yesterday

AT LEAST one protester was shot dead during mass demonstrations marking the third anniversary of the Sudanese revolution that forced out dictator Omar al-Bashir, the Sudan Doctors Committee said today.

Tens of thousands took to the streets of Khartoum and other cities yesterday to demand the military relinquish power and opposing the US-negotiated power-sharing deal that returned civilian PM Abdalla Hamdok to office, but alongside the military officers who seized power in October.

Security forces attacked demonstrators staging a mass sit-in in front of the presidential palace on the banks of the Blue Nile. The Health Ministry said over 120 people were wounded.
