One civilian has died during protests in Sudan's Omdurman in what appeared to be the biggest demonstration in months of protest against President Omar al Bashir's 30-year rule
Sudanese protesters shout slogans in front of the military headquarters in the capital Khartoum on April 6, 2019.
Security forces fired tear gas at stone-throwing demonstrators and tried to disperse the crowd, which had responded to a call by activists trying to increase pressure on Bashir to step down. An independent estimate for the number of protesters was not immediately available. But witnesses said the protest appeared to be larger than previous ones.Sudanese activists, apparently emboldened by the success of similar but much larger protests in Algeria that forced ailing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to step down, called Saturday's protests to mark the anniversary of the 1985 coup that forced then President Jaafar Nimeiri to step down following mass protests against his rule.
Nimeiri's downfall paved the way for national elections and a civilian government which Bashir ousted in a military coup in 1989.
