Fresh protests erupted in Sudan on Sunday to demand full civilian rule, with protesters blocking the main land road with Egypt.

Protesters in the Northern State blocked the Sheryan al-Shimal road between Sudan and Egypt in protest of what they call the Egyptian government’s support for the military takeover in Sudan, according to an Anadolu Agency reporter.

In the capital Khartoum, thousands of protesters chanted slogans against the military and called for the accountability of demonstrators killed by security forces.

Sudan has been in turmoil since Oct. 25, 2021, when the military dismissed Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok's transitional government and declared a state of emergency.

According to local medics, more than 70 protesters were killed in protests against the military takeover in Sudan since October last year.
