Protesters take to the streets demanding full civilian rule in Sudan

Hundreds of thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators march in Khartoum and other cities

Hundreds of thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators have taken to the streets of the Sudanese capital Khartoum and other major cities demanding full civilian rule, just days after a sit-in was launched calling for a return to military government.

Images posted on social media showed vast crowds marching in different parts of the Sudanese capital in protests to reject military rule as the crisis in the country's troubled transition from authoritarian rule deepened.
