KHARTOUM \u2013 Hundreds of Sudanese protesters demanding an end to military rule took to the streets of the capital Khartoum and its suburbs for a fourth straight day Sunday, witnesses said.
\nA violent crackdown by the security forces during mass rallies on Thursday killed nine people, the deadliest day for several months in the long running protests against a military takeover last October led by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
\nRecent protests have seen crowds burn tyres and barricade roads with bricks, with security forces using live bullets, firing barrages of tear gas canisters and using powerful water cannons, according to medics and the United Nations.
\nDemonstrators demand a restoration of the transition to civilian rule that was launched after the 2019 ouster of longtime autocrat Omar al-Bashir, which the coup derailed.
\n\u201cWe will continue this sit-in until the coup is overturned, and we have a fully civilian government,\u201d demonstrator Muayyad Mohamed told AFP in central Khartoum.
\nThe death toll from protest-related violence has reached 114 since last year\u2019s coup, with the latest fatality recorded Saturday when a demonstrator died from wounds sustained at a June 16 rally, according to pro-democracy medics.
\nThe goals of our revolution are realised,\u201d said Soha, 25, another protester, who gave only her first name.
\n\u201cWe are here in the street demanding freedom, peace, justice, a civil state and the return of the military to the barracks.\u201d The coup plunged Sudan further into political and economic turmoil which has seen rising consumer prices and life-threatening food shortages. On Sunday, witnesses reported a heavy deployment of security forces on the streets of Khartoum, including both army vehicles as well as those of the Rapid Support Forces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
