Sudanese security forces have detained dozens of protestors and fired tear gas at several anti-coup rallies as demonstrations in several cities called for two days of civil disobedience and a strike campaign against last month's military takeover.
The Sudanese military seized power on October 25 which dissolved the transitional administration and saw dozens of government officials and politicians arrested.
Since late last week, protestors have been seen piling up bricks and slabs to hinder the military’s movement across the capital.
Peaceful demonstrations and even the education ministry building have been met with violent arrests, tear gas, and in some cases death and injuries for rejecting the handover to military appointees.
The military takeover has sparked international condemnation including punitive aid cuts and demands for a swift return to civilian rule.
