Sudanese protesters held firm on barricades on Tuesday, saying they were deeply sceptical of promises by coup leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan a day earlier that the army would make way for civilian rule.
Defying the security forces, crowds stayed on the streets of the capital Khartoum, maintaining their months-long protests against the military power grab.
The bloc has so far refused to take part in talks with military leaders, launched under international auspices in an effort to restore the transition to civilian rule. Security forces, as they have done repeatedly to the long-running protests, sought to break up the crowds by firing barrages of stun grenades and tear gas, according to pro-democracy medics.
