KHARTOUM - Thousands of protesters marched toward Sudan’s defense ministry on Sunday demanding the ruling military hand over power to civilians, as security forces fired shots into the air.
Sudan’s military overthrew president Omar al-Bashir on April 11 after months of demonstrations against his rule.Opposition groups kept up those demonstrations as they pressed the military to hand over to civilians - but talks broke down after security services raided a sit-in protest outside the defense ministry on June 3.
General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the deputy head of the Transitional Military Council, did not say whether anyone died and gave no more information during his short address on state TV. His report was not confirmed by other groups. The Transitional Military Council had warned a day earlier that the coalition would bear the responsibility for any loss of life or damage resulting from the rallies.
