10 killed as protests continue over Sudan coup
Doctors in Sudan say 10 people have been shot dead as security forces tried to break up a series of protests against the recent military takeover.
Tear gas was fired at one group of people in the capital Khartoum.
Activists across Sudan called for people to take to the streets to mark the day when a civilian was supposed to take over the leadership of the governing Sovereign Council.
Despite measures by the security forces to stop them, men, women and children took to the streets of Khartoum.
At several rallies people waved Sudanese flags and denounced the military. Their cause has plenty of international support.
US secretary of state Antony Blinken said the much-needed financial help would be resumed if the military backed down.
Those in charge of the Sudanese security forces have repeatedly turned to violence to get their way. For now the brave protestors are not giving up. That's why Sudan is so tense.
