Sudan security fires tear gas at anti-coup rally: Witness

KHARTOUM: Sudanese security forces fired tear gas Sunday at an anti-coup rally in Khartoum to protest last month's military takeover, a witness said.

"We organised a silent stand against

Burhan

's decisions, outside the

Ministry of Education

,"

Mohamed al-Amin

, a geography teacher who took part in that stand against the country's top general, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.

"Police later came and fired tear gas at us though we were simply standing on the streets and carrying banners" which read: "No, no to military rule", and called for transition to "full civilian rule", he added.
