Demonstrators gathered in Khartoum today as the Sudanese government's new government swore in readiness to try to tackle the country's economic problems that led to the protest movement.
Witnesses said that a large number of demonstrators took to the streets of Khartoum and the neighboring city of Omdurman, calling "freedom, peace and justice".
Security forces quickly intervened to disperse them using tear gas.
This comes the day after Prime Minister Mohammad Taher revealed the composition of his government.
The new government, which has retained many former ministers, is aimed at resolving the serious economic crisis that is the main cause of the protest movement, the prime minister said.
"We hope that the new government will realize some of the hopes and aspirations of our people, bearing in mind that the issues of bread, fuel and liquidity must return to normal," he said.
Ella was appointed on Feb. 23 as prime minister after President Omar al-Bashir dissolved the government at the federal and local levels in a move seen as a reaction to the protest movement.
The third government in less than two and a half years, and the last two governments were dismissed for failing to resolve the economic crisis.
Sudan has been witnessing demonstrations since December 19, which began to refuse the government to raise the price of bread and quickly demanded the resignation of President Omar al-Bashir, who has been in power since 1989.
After weeks of repression, Bashir announced an emergency on February 22 in an effort to end unprecedented protests.
