Sudan Protests continue after military seizes power

Defiant protesters remain on the streets of Sudan after the country's armed forces launched a military coup.



Chanting and waving flags, they have blocked roads in the capital Khartoum and around the country following the takeover. On Monday coup leader Gen Abdel Fattah Burhan dissolved civilian rule, arrested political leaders and called a state of emergency. Soldiers opened fire on crowds and reportedly killed ten people.

The coup has drawn global condemnation. Diplomats told AFP news agency the UN Security Council is due to meet on Tuesday to discuss the crisis.
