Hundreds of people were injured in Sudan on Thursday in massive protests against military rule.
Protesters were angered by the delay in signing a final deal to restore civilian rule in the country.
The protests marked the fourth anniversary of the popular uprising that led to the ouster of former longtime ruler Omar al-Bashir.
Hundreds of protesters blocked main roads in the capital Khartoum and other cities.
Many held placards and shouted slogans condemning the army’s involvement in politics.
Security forces used tear gas to disperse a large crowd that planned to march on the presidential palace in Khartoum.
This comes as Sudanese leaders again postponed signing an agreement to form a civilian-led government.
Disagreements between military factions have led to delays in finalizing the deal.
Sudan has been in political turmoil since the military seized power in a coup in October 2021, preventing a transition to democratic rule.
The country witnessed nearly a week of protests that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of protesters.
