Khartoum (Reuters) – Military forces shot dead two people during national protests in Sudan on Saturday, a committee of doctors said. Hundreds of thousands of people demanded the restoration of a civilian-led government after a military coup.
The Sudanese Central Committee of Medical Doctors said two protesters were shot dead by troops in the twin city of Khartoum, Omdurman, during protests.
A witness in Omdurman said he heard gunfire and saw bleeding people being carried towards the Parliament building.
A Sudanese Army representative was not available at first to comment on the report of the killings.
Protesters carried Sudan flags and chanted “military government cannot be praised” and “this country is ours and our government is civilian” as they marched in neighborhoods around Khartoum.
Thousands of Sudanese have already demonstrated this week against the ousting of Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok’s ministry on Monday by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, in a coup that has prompted Western nations to freeze hundreds of millions of dollars in financial assistance.
