Despite high temperatures, tear gas, and a Ramadan fast, tens of thousands of Sudanese protesters marched in the capital Khartoum and more in towns across the country on Wednesday.

A 19-year-old protester was shot and killed by security forces in the Sharg al-Nil area of Bahri, across the Nile from Khartoum, medics said, who added that two hospitals that treat protesters were raided on Wednesday.

Protesters, most of them fasting for Ramadan, braved the harsh sun and temperatures around 42 degrees Celsius. At least 94 people have been killed by security forces and thousands injured in crackdowns on protests, medics say. A power-sharing agreement was later reached, but ended with the October coup, which military leaders say was a necessary corrective measure.

Security forces and the military were deployed on main streets and key government installations in the capital and bridges to neighboring Omdurman and Bahri were blocked with shipping containers.
