Khartoum - Seven people were killed and 2,496 arrested during peaceful anti-government protests in Sudan over the weekend, state-run media reported Monday, citing the country's interior minister.
Some witnesses, including a dpa reporter, put the number of demonstrators at close to 1 million people. Security forces injured three soldiers and several civilians, an army official told dpa on condition of anonymity.
