Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Sudanese security forces shot dead at least 15 people and wounded dozens as thousands took to the streets on Wednesday to demonstrate against an October 25 coup.<\/p>\n

The protesters marched across the capital Khartoum and in the cities of Bahri and Omdurman demanding a full handover to civilian authorities and for the leaders of the October 25 coup to be put on trial.<\/p>\n

Witnesses said security forces fired live rounds and tear gas to prevent gatherings in all three cities, and mobile phone communications were cut.<\/p>\n

State television said there were injuries among protesters and police.<\/p>\n

The Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors, a group aligned with the protest movement said deaths were concentrated in Bahri. They said:<\/p>\n

The coup forces used live bullets heavily in different areas of the capital and there are tens of gunshot injuries, some of them in serious condition.<\/p>\n

In response, protesters built extensive barricades, emptying the streets of traffic, a Reuters witness said.<\/p>\n

Others carried pictures of people killed in previous protests and of Abdalla Hamdok, the civilian prime minister who was put under house arrest during the coup, with the slogan: \u201cLegitimacy comes from the street, not from the cannons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Images of protests in towns including Port Sudan, Kassala, Dongola, Wad Madani and Geneina were posted on social media.<\/p>\n

Security forces were heavily deployed on main roads and intersections, and bridges across the River Nile were closed, witnesses said.<\/p>\n

The coup ended a transitional partnership between the military and a civilian coalition that helped topple autocrat Omar al-Bashir in 2019.<\/p>\n

Despite pressure from Western states, which have suspended economic assistance, efforts at mediation have stalled, with Burhan moving to cement control with help from Bashir-era veterans.<\/p>\n
