Sudan: Protesters march towards the republican palace demanding civilian transition
On 14 March, hundreds of people protested in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, marching towards the republican palace. The police fired tear gas to crack down the protest. The protesters carried banners with names of those who were killed during the protests which have been going on since the military takeover in 2021. The protests demanding a civilian transition have been led by doctors, journalists, lawyers, teachers and engineers. The latest protests came under the slogan of “the revolution is a union and a neighbourhood committee.” (“Protesters pushed back from Sudan's presidential palace,” BBC, 14 March 2023)
