Businesses shut as Sudan forces and protesters clash

Sudanese security forces clashed with anti-coup protesters in Khartoum on Thursday, leading to injuries but no loss of life, local media reported.

The authorities closed a major bridge that links the capital to two nearby cities ahead of the protests.

Many businesses were forced to close due to the protests, Radio Dabanga reported.

The demonstrations were organised by the Sudanese neighbourhood resistance committees, grassroots groups that have been leading calls for civilian rule since last October’s military coup.
