The Sudanese are celebrating the end of President Omar al-Bashir’s 30-year dictatorship by singing and dancing to loud music well into the early hours of the morning.

Until last week, residents required a permit to play loud music late at night, but the tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in front of the military headquarters aren’t planning on leaving anytime soon.

In a further act of defiance, female demonstrators who would previously have been flogged for walking with a man they weren't related to are openly dancing with male protesters, demonstrating a clear shift in the rule of the country.
