At least eight protesters were killed in Sudan as security forces tried to disperse tens of thousands of people protesting against the military junta, which has ruled the country since October.
Six of them were shot to death, according to a local medical organization. The security forces also used distraction grenades and water cannons and Thursday became one of the most violent days so far this year.
“Even if we die, the military will not rule over us,” the protesters chanted.
