Sudanese officers fire tear gas as thousands protest coup

Khartoum, Sudan: Sudanese security forces fired tear gas Thursday (Friday in Manila) to disperse thousands of protesters calling for justice for scores of people killed since last year's military coup, which deepened the country's political crisis.

Some protesters flew flags and carried portraits of those killed in earlier crackdowns, while others waved a banner with the crossed out image of army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who led the military takeover last year.
