Sudanese security forces fire tear gas at thousands of anti-government protesters demonstrating for a third night outside the army headquarters in Khartoum, witnesses say
Sudanese protesters gather for a second day outside the military headquarters in the capital Khartoum on April 7, 2019.
It is the largest rally since protests erupted in the northeast African country in December over a hike in bread prices, before transforming into nationwide demonstrations against Bashir's iron-fisted 30-year rule. "When the army is here, we have no fear," protesters chanted as military vehicles with soldiers fanned out around the complex, onlookers said.Interior Minister Bushara Juma said seven protesters died and 15 were wounded on Saturday when forces tried to disperse them, with 42 members of the security forces also injured.Defence Minister General Awad Ibnouf vowed to preserve the security and stability of Sudan.
"We reiterate our people's demand that the head of the regime and his government have to immediately step down," Digeir said.
