STORYLINE: Sudanese protesters took to the streets of Khartoum on Thursday, the latest demonstration in a long string of protests following last year's military coup. Some protesters were throwing stones at riot police who used tear gas and water cannons. Protesters in the rally carried flags, banged drums and chanted against the military leaders. Sudan has been mired in political turmoil since its military seized power in a coup last October after three decades of repressive Islamist rule under former President Omar Al Bashir. Following the military takeover, Sudan's top general and current ruler, Abdel Fattah Burhan, swept away his civilian partners in government and detained hundreds of officials and activists. Since October, the protesters' Resistance Committees have spearheaded near-weekly rallies against Sudan's military government who in turn have ruthlessly cracked down on public dissent. Medical groups say that security forces have killed at least 117 demonstrators since October's coup and detained hundreds more. =========================================================== Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: [email protected] (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
