Sudan is still ruled by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the military leader who seized power in an October 2021 coup.

Sudanese security forces on Thursday shot dead a protester during a fresh round of demonstrations against last year's military takeover by army general Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, pro-democracy medics said.

Sudan has been embroiled in unrest since October 2021, when the military takeover derailed the transition to civilian rule.

Sudan has blocked internet access nationwide and its security forces have fired tear gas at thousands of protesters in an attempt to disperse large crowds of protesters marking the first anniversary of a coup that derailed the transition to civilian rule.

The UN mission in Sudan said it was “alarmed” by the “resurgence of conflict” in Blue Nile.

Protesters gathered near the presidential palace in the capital Khartoum on Friday.

Sudan's security forces have shot another anti-coup protester, marking the 100th death in anti-coup demonstrations since October.

Sudan’s army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has lifted a state of emergency imposed since the October 25 coup.

Sudanese security forces have fired tear gas at protesters who gathered in parts of the capital, Khartoum, and other cities to rally against military rule and mark the third anniversary of the killing of scores of protesters.

Sudanese protesters march across the African country against persisting military rule and economic woes.
