Security forces fired tear gas and stun grenades as protesters marched through Khartoum and the neighbouring cities of Omdurman and Bahri towards the presidential palace,
Al Hadath TV quoted an adviser to military leader Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan as saying the military would not allow anyone to pull the country into chaos and that continued protests were a “physical, psychological, and mental drain on the country and would not achieve a political solution”. The Forces of Freedom and Change coalition said that security forces “used excessive repression” on Thursday and called on “regional and international communities and human rights organisations to condemn the coup.”
Security forces confronted the protesters about 2 km from the palace in the centre of the capital, a Reuters witness said. The Khartoum State Ministry of Health also said in a statement that security forces in Omdurman prevented ambulances from carrying the injured to nearby hospitals, adding that the”scale of repression exceeded expectations.”
The intelligence service justified the decision by saying that the political situation could turn “catastrophic.”
