Sudanese security forces on Sunday fired tear gas at an anti-coup rally by teachers at the start of a two-day civil disobedience call against last month's military takeover.
Dozens of teachers carried banners reading"no, no to military rule" and demanded a transition to"full civilian rule" at a rally outside the education ministry in the capital Khartoum.
"Police later came and fired tear gas at us though we were simply standing on the streets and carrying banners," he said. "The protest rejects the return of remnants of the old regime" linked to ousted president Omar al-Bashir, the teachers' union said in a Facebook post. "We will start by barricading the main streets to prepare for the mass civil disobedience on Sunday and Monday," it said, urging protesters to avoid confrontation with the security forces.
