Demonstrators closed major roads in Khartoum today, Tuesday, as part of ongoing protests to condemn the killing of protesters and demand civilian and democratic rule in Sudan.

Roads were blocked with barricades of stones, tree trunks and car tires in a number of neighborhoods in the three regions of the capital (Khartoum, Khartoum North and Omdurman).

Activists posted on social networking sites photos and videos of streets closed with barriers, and burning tires.

And the Anatolia news agency - quoting eyewitnesses - said that the army and police forces have intensified their presence in central Khartoum, in an attempt to reopen roads and streets by removing barriers with cars.

Today's road closures are part of the March schedule announced by the "Sudanese Resistance Committees", which includes the dates and locations of demonstrations and gatherings calling on the military to hand over power to civilians.

Thousands of protesters demonstrated - yesterday, Monday - in Khartoum as part of a new "million" that headed towards the Republican Palace, but the security forces confronted them, as a result of which a number of protesters were injured, while a demonstrator was killed in the city of Madani (central), which raises the number of protesters. The dead - who have fallen since the overthrow of Abdullah Hamdok's government 5 months ago - to about 90 people.

Yesterday evening, Monday, protesters burned rubber tires and set up barricades on 60th Street in Khartoum, calling for civil rule and accountability for the killers of the demonstrators.

Since October 25, 2021, the country has been witnessing a political crisis and protests rejecting exceptional measures taken by the Army Commander, President of the Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, most notably the imposition of a state of emergency and the dissolution of the Sovereignty Councils and the Transitional Ministers, which political forces consider a military coup, which the army denies.
