Sudan security forces kill two anti-coup protesters, say medics

Al Jazeera  

The two were killed by live bullets in Omdurman as thousands marched towards the presidential palace in Khartoum. Sudanese security forces have killed two anti-coup protesters in Omdurman, twin city of the capital Khartoum, medics say, as thousands rally against the military. The fatalities came as security forces fired tear gas at thousands of protesters in Khartoum, televised images showed, as demonstrators marched towards the presidential palace in the 12th round of major protests since a coup on October 25. Al Hadath TV quoted an adviser to military leader Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan as saying the military would not allow anyone to pull the country into chaos and that continued protests were a “physical, psychological, and mental drain on the country” and “would not achieve a political solution”. Sudan’s Sovereign Council, which Burhan leads, denounced on Friday the violence that accompanied Thursday’s protests, adding it had ordered authorities to take all legal and military measures to avoid a recurrence and “nobody will go unpunished”.
