Security forces shot dead at least 15 people and wounded dozens as thousands of Sudanese took to the streets on Wednesday on the deadliest day in a month of demonstrations against military rule, medics said.
The protesters, marching against an Oct. 25 coup across the capital Khartoum and in the cities of Bahri and Omdurman, demanded a full handover to civilian authorities and for the leaders of the Oct. 25 coup to be put on trial.
In response, protesters built extensive barricades, emptying the streets of traffic, a Reuters witness said.Earlier, on a main road in Khartoum, protesters burned tyres and chanted: "The people are stronger, and retreat is impossible." Security forces were heavily deployed on main roads and intersections, and bridges across the River Nile were closed, witnesses said.
Protesters and a Reuters witness said they saw security forces chase protesters into neighbourhoods and homes to carry out arrests.
