Sudanese security forces killed one protester on

derailed a transition to civilian rule last year, medics said.

The victim, who was not identified, died as a result of
“a bullet to the chest” in the capital’s twin city of Omdurman, the
pro-democracy Central Committee of Sudan Doctors said in a statement. The
latest death brings the toll to 96, from a crackdown on anti-coup protests
which have taken place regularly since the October 25 military coup led by army
chief
Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, the committee said.
Saturday’s protests
came after thousands took to the streets Thursday to oppose the power grab,
mainly in Khartoum but also elsewhere, renewing demands for civilian rule.
About 100 people were injured during Thursday’s demonstrations, according to
the doctors’ committee.
