Sudan’s anti-coup protesters tear-gassed



Sudanese security forces have fired tear gas to try to disperse the latest anti-government protest marches in the capital, Khartoum.


Among the groups joining Sunday’s demonstrations was the Central Doctors’ Committee whose members say they are angry at the impact of October’s military coup on health services.

Last week, Abdalla Hamdok resigned as prime minister amid continuing friction between the military and pro-democracy campaigners.

The UN envoy to Sudan, Volker Perthes, had called for both sides to engage in constructive dialogue.

But his proposal has been rejected by opposition trades unions and rebels in the Darfur region.
